The B vitamins are low in our modern diet. B vitamins are depleted by stress, alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, sugar & certain medicines.

Dr. Slagle does not recommend anyone take a singular B vitamin without simultaneously taking a B complex as a foundational base. Single vitamin B supplements can induce deficiencies & imbalances of the other B vitamins.

One of the chief categories of the remedies put forth by Dr. Bach he called the "twelve healers." These remedies are for basic personality types that usually do not change in a given incarnation. The gifted user of Bach remedies, the late Jessica Bear, N.D., Ph.D., whom I had the pleasure of meeting at several conferences of the International Association of Specialized Kinesiologists, further subdivided these twelve remedies and their associated personalities as Dominators, Mediators, and Enablers. She ascribed to each personality type a specific virtue when the person was in balance, a fau1t or way of being when out of balance, and a reaction or way of behaving when not in balance. Dominators when out of balance look for someone they can dominate. Mediators out of balance seek to balance any difficult situation, usually between a Dominator and an Enabler. Enablers out of balance are easy victims. More often than not, my clients appear to be Enablers. Consider a client for whom Mimulus (Monkey flower, Mimulus guttatus) tests as the priority flower essence; that person tends to act as an Enabler and to react by fear, perhaps fearing such things as the dark, loud noises, poverty, being sick, being alone ("I'm a victim"), and it is hard for them to share their fears--they are often shy. Mimulus will help this client.

Drugs are available that can decrease urinary symptoms in about half of people with BPH, although it is not clear whether these drugs slow the progression of the condition. However, one of these drugs (finasteride) causes erectile dysfunction (impotence) in about five percent of men who take it. Doctors often recommend surgery when symptoms are severe or when there is a high risk of urinary obstruction. Although prostate surgery has a high success rate, it also has a higher rate of complications than drug therapy.

The prostate cells can be stimulated into unregulated growth by Dihydrotesterone (DHT) which is a breakdown product of testosterone, & by prolactin, a hormone which increases the production of DHT.

Through its natural evolution, Bentonite also selectively adsorbs an interesting variety of organic material. A healing clay is distinguished primarily by the "secondary" sorpted materials which both a) maintain its natural characteristic to be precisely PH balanced ( basic ) for the human ( and animal ) biological system AND b) leave the clay with an incredibly dense molecular makeup which produces a self-generated negatively charged electromagnetic field upon hydration.

Technically, the clay first adsorbs toxins (heavy metals, free radicals, pesticides), attracting them to its extensive surface area where they adhere like flies to sticky paper; then it absorbs the toxins, taking them in the way a sponge mops up a kitchen counter mess.

There is an electrical aspect to bentonite’s ability to bind and absorb toxins. According to Yerba Prima, a company based in Ashland, Oregon, which markets Great Plains^® Bentonite, the clay’s minerals are negatively charged while toxins tend to be positively charged; hence the clay’s attraction works like a magnet drawing metal shavings. But it’s even more involved than that.

Once hydrated (combined with water), bentonite has an enormous surface area. According to Yerba Prima, a single quart bottle can represent a total surface area of 960 square yards or 12 American football fields. Bentonite is made of a great number of tiny platelets, with negative electrical charges on their flat surfaces and positive charges on their edges.

When bentonite absorbs water and swells, it is stretched open like a highly porous sponge; the toxins are drawn into these spaces by electrical attraction and bound fast. In fact, according to the Canadian Journal of Microbiology (31 [1985], 50-53), bentonite can absorb pathogenic viruses, aflatoxin (a mold), and pesticides and herbicides including Paraquat and Roundup. The clay is eventually eliminated from the body with the toxins bound to its multiple surfaces.

In some cases, the "healing clay" classification is determined due to a very specialized sorption of minerals, such as naturally occuring calcium bentonite.

In other cases, the classification is due to specialized organic material that has been naturally incorporated into the clay. Much of this organized organic material remains unclassified by modern science. New species of fungus ( such as the fungus discovery responsible for the advent of penicillin ) have been discovered in natural clay. Botanicals that have long since vanished off the face of the earth often occur in small traces in a natural clay. It is an amazing mystery that such healing clays contain an endless variety of materials all of which have proven beneficial to the human body on the testing field of time.

A third classification provides for the lack of sorpted material. Some clays are prized for the purity which leave the clay virtually a simple crystal matrix. A pharmacy grade healing clay falls into this category, although in this case the means are achieved artificially. This classification also takes into consideration the particle sizes ( in microns ) of the clay particles, smaller being more beneficial.

The last classification has yet to be fully defined due to the difficulty of measuring certain quantum properties that recent scientific discoveries have uncovered.

Green healing clay is both an incredible mystery, AND a primary key to unlocking the secret to the origin of all biological life on Earth. Indeed, some scientists believe that bentonite was the primary catalyst in the formation of the first single celled organisms. Bentonite may very well have acted as a cell membrane, holding by sorption key amino acids and protein chains, allowing the first hint of life both the time and the space to take an evolutionary leap that eventually led to the development of complex organisms.

From the EPA: Benzene is a known human carcinogen by all routes of exposure. This finding is supported by evidence from human epidemiologic studies, animal data, and an improvement in understanding of mechanism(s) of action. Human epidemiologic studies of highly exposed occupational cohorts have demonstrated that exposure to benzene can cause acute nonlymphocytic leukemia and other blood disorders, that is, preleukemia and aplastic anemia. Additionally, changes in blood and bone marrow consistent with hematotoxicity are recognized in humans and experimental animals.

Beryllium, which is derived from beryl, bertrandite and phenakite ores, exhibits both metallic and nonmetallic physical and mechanical properties. This gray in color, brittle metal is one of the lightest structural materials known. Still, it has a specific stiffness six times that of 1010 steel. Beryllium is also an excellent electrical and thermal conductor. In fact, beryllium and beryllium alloys are often the top-of-the-line material for "it has to work" electronic and aerospace equipment. Premium automobile air bags, for example, will often use pricey beryllium-copper alloys to ensure deployment. Nicolas Louis Vauquelin discovered the element in 1797 while examining an emerald, a form of beryl. It was first isolated in 1828.

Some alternative methods look for alternate explanations for what psychiatrists may have labeled as manic-depression. For example, food allergies may cause severe mood swings in some people, and untreated endocrine problems of all sorts are widely recognized as causing mood difficulties.

With a few exceptions, most of the alternative methods tend to address depressions or the short-term mood fluctuations suffered by "rapid-cyclers" (and generally treated by most knowledgeable doctors with anticonvulsants) rather than the more "classic," longer-term highs and lows that are usually treated with lithium. Many alternative practitioners, in fact, state that despite their best efforts, lithium is still a necessity for some patients, although they may tend to attempt to minimize the necessary dosage through a variety of other means. Most alternative practitioners, however, seem to believe that the need for the long-term use of antidepressants by bipolar or unipolar depressives can usually be eliminated through the use of alternative treatments, although it may take a substantial amount of work before this can be accomplished. The use of anti-convulsants such as Depakote and Tegretol seems to fall somewhere in the middle of the two extremes: although the use of alternative methods may help many patients to taper off of these medications, some need to continue to use at least small dosages in order to remain stable. (It should be noted that since most antidepressants increase rapid-cycling in many patients, the elimination of the antidepressants may make these drugs less necessary.) In many cases, however, decreasing the dosage of anti-manic agents is almost as desirable as eliminating the need for medications entirely, since side effects tend to be substantially less at smaller dosages for most patients.

Heavy, soft, brittle and silvery white in color, bismuth may be one of the most environmentally safe metals around. Although it is a heavy metal, bismuth is nontoxic and noncarcinogenic. Demand for the material as a replacement for lead has grown in recent years, and it is already popular as a remedy for stomach ailments. Bismuth is rarely found in its native state. With but one exception it is mined as a by-product of lead, tin, copper, tungsten, silver and gold ores.

Another major problem that is becoming associated with aspartame consumption, according to Dr. Roberts, is the high potential for birth defects in children conceived while the mother has been consuming aspartame. A breakdown product of aspartame metabolism, phenylalanine, concentrates in the placenta, causing mental retardation in the baby.

Blood is magical. Blood is mystical. Blood is alchemical. It appears throughout human history as a profound religious and cultural symbol. Ancient peoples mixed it together and drank it to denote unity and fealty. From the earliest times, hunters performed rituals to appease the spirits of the animals they killed by offering up the animal blood and smearing it on their faces and bodies. The blood of the lamb was placed as a mark on the hovels of the enslaved Jews of Egypt so that the Angel of Death would pass over them. Moses is said to have turned the waters of Egypt to blood in his quest to free his people. The symbolic blood of Jesus Christ has been, for nearly two thousand years, central to the most sacred rite of Christianity.

They realized that the RATE of metabolic action (the creation of energy by burning food) resulted in changes in blood gases (like CO2). Whenever you burn ANYTHING in the presence of oxygen, you get water and carbon dioxide (CO2) and of course a release of energy.

A specialized pH meter (that costs about $500) is needed to accurately measure blood PLASMA pH. The measurement must be taken within a few minutes of the blood draw to get an accurate result. This precludes sending the sample out. I've never seen a physician's office with the right equipment.

The natural hormone in the body which controls blood sugar levels is insulin. Insulin depends on the presence of the mineral chromium in order to function. Other nutrients which activate enzymes involved in sugar and carbohydrate metabolism are zinc, magnesium, manganese, vanadium, alpha-lipoic acid and vitamin B6.

Hot, moist compresses (a folded wash cloth with a trace of antibacterial soap on it -- Phase III, Safeguard, Dial, P-300, etc.) for 5 minutes every hour -- at the first sign of a new boil -- will usually reverse the process within a day or so and avoid most of the problem. You need to keep the heat at the point of its being uncomfortable (not enough to burn yourself) to get the job done in the 5 minutes. Every hour is best if you can do it. At least 4 times a day for sufficient results.

Blood circulation combination: Cayenne, Ginger, Golden Seal, Ginseng, Parsley and Garlic.

This group of herbs feed cayenne (a stimulant) and ginger (stimulant) into the circulatory system where the cayenne works from the bloodstream to the heart and arteries and out into the veins. The other herbs in this formula assist these two herbs and work together to equalize the blood pressure (whether high or low) to bring it to a good systolic over the diastolic reading. This formula is given to assist blood purifying teas to work more efficiently and to also aid the clearing up of allergies, etc.

To speed up the healing process after an injury it is very good to see that the blood stream is flowing properly to carry food to the cells and to carry off the toxins and waste material. The blood circulation combination [BPE] will do this job effectively.

A condition of unconscious muscle tension caused by severe, and overwhelming, stress-effect storage in the hypothalamus (the part of the brain where the interface between the environment, and body/mind function, is located)--commonly called the "fight or flight" effect.

Bracing and the effect on joints: When any muscle contracts, the opposing muscle for that joint is supposed to relax completely by reflex action. If it does not (the definition of "bracing": when all muscles stay contracted to a certain extent 24 hours a day, even when asleep) the muscles work against each other and grind the joint surfaces together harder than normal and aggravate the wear and tear of the joint surfaces. At the same time, the pressure in the Synovial fluid is greatly increased, leading to arthritis and Baker's Cysts.

Imagine that you are watching a Stephen King movie, riding the scariest roller coaster in the world, a phone call in the middle of the night, an intruder breaking into your home. OK, so what is your physical response to those events? How does your body feel? Your heart starts beating faster than normal, your breathing might become more rapid, your palms might sweat, your muscles tense - to name a few of the things that might happen to your body. Now imagine that you spend your days and nights in that state of "uptightness". That would be chronic bracing.

On bracing and shoulders So many people seem to be having so much trouble connecting to what is meant by "bracing" I thought, perhaps a personal experience might do the trick. If you CAN "drop your shoulders", to the extent that you can, you are "holding them up". Why are you doing that? This is a direct measurement of how much fight or flight readiness you are holding in your hypothalamus. Your shoulders are designed to hang from your shoulder girdle and they should not be "hiked up" at all. NOW, a second measure of how "ready" you are is how long it takes for you to "rehike" your shoulders. Can you drop your shoulders now? It Didn't take very long for that shoulder tension to return, did it? This chronic muscle tension is "bracing" and the majority of people in this country do it 24 hours a day. This changes completely, how the hypothalamus runs the entire bodymind and is a major cause of many of the chronic conditions in this country today.

All of our thoughts and actions rely on the transmission of nerve impulses between different parts of the brain, and between the brain and the rest of the body. These are electrochemical impulses, triggered by substances called neurotransmitters, that travel along nerve cells and fibers. This process requires that the brain have enough blood and oxygen, and that certain nutrients are present. A variety of nutrients which are essential to the proper functioning of the brain and nervous system include: B vitamins, magnesium, and phosphatidyl serine.

[Dr. Schulze]

One of the things that enlightened me on this was, when I was first studying, I had an opportunity to be involved in a couple of autopsies and dissections of human bodies.

When I first saw a skull cut off and a brain opened up, it was a great awareness for me, because up until then I had thought of our brain as being something out of Star Trek - a gaseous, cloudy area where all our thinking takes place.

But when you see a brain sitting on a stainless steel plate, all the mysterious feelings that you have go away and you see that it's just an organ.

It's like a kidney, it's like a lung, it's like anything else. Even though it may be the center for our central nervous system and our thoughts, if it doesn't get good blood supply, and that blood going to the brain isn't quality blood, the brain isn't going to work.

The same way that you have a liver that became congested with cholesterol, a gall bladder with gallstones, or a kidney with kidneystones, you can get brains that actually have congestion, mucous, and pus.

I've asked the family to send me the autopsy report. It will say they opened up the brain (if a patient had depression or dementia) and they will explain that the brain cavity was filled with translucent liquids - white and yellow liquids - and waste materials.

They don't basically tell you what it is, but they say that there was a lot of waste material in and around the brain (pus, mucous, and congestion) because the blood wasn't getting to that brain to supply it with nutrition. It also wasn't taking the waste material out of that brain.

These reports also stated that the actual brain tissue has degenerated, dissolved and been destroyed.

Our thought processes create a lot of waste in the brain - and that waste has to be removed.

In 1973, Dr. Gerald Oster of Mt. Sinai Medical Center published a paper called "Auditory Beats in the Brain" identifying a characteristic of the brain in which the brain would resonate to the frequency difference between two tones presented to opposite ears. Because the hemispheres are not entirely separate, but connected, they actually respond to these two tones by producing a third tone representing the difference between the two original tones. Here's an example:

Tone of 230 Hz played to right ear Tone of 240 Hz played to left ear Difference = 10 Hz. (Alpha State)

So by using the above two tones, a calm alpha brainwave state can be created for the listener. This same process -- called Brainwave Entrainment - can be used to create virtually any brainwave pattern desired. Today, this technique is used as a means of achieving meditative states in personal growth, treatment therapies for learning disabilities like dyslexia and attention deficit, and many other approaches to improving mental functioning and enhancing well-being.

Generally speaking, the lower the carrier freqencies, the greater the fluctuations created in the brain. These fluctuations, over time, can create major upward shifts in personal development.

Here's an example of how lower carrier frequencies are used in brainwave growth. In the example given earlier, we saw an alpha state created with the following carrier frequencies:

230 Hz and 240 Hz This pair of carrier frequencies gives us a 10 Hz alpha brainwave pattern. But how could we make this 10 Hz alpha state stronger? The answer is by lowering the pair of carrier frequencies:

190 Hz and 180 Hz

Or even lower...

92 Hz and 82 Hz

As long as the difference between the two carriers is 10, we still have a 10 Hz alpha state. But by using these lower carriers, we have created a stronger version of that alpha state; a version which saturates the nervous system with stimulus which, in turn, produces improved functioning.

• Beta (13-30+Hz): Beta is the state of normal, wakeful consciousness. As we are working, driving, talking, etc., we are likely in Beta. On the higher extremes, Beta is sometimes associated with anxiety, panic or stress.
• Alpha (8-12.9 Hz): Alpha is a state of light relaxation. Not a sleep state, but usually reflective of a calm, focused mind. Alpha is sometimes called the "superlearning state" because the brain seems to be more receptive and open to new information. Alpha is also considered ideal for creative brain storming. Most meditation occurs in this state.
• Theta (4-7.9 Hz): Theta is a state of deep relaxation. Sometimes a sleep state, sometimes not, theta reflects a state of dreamlike awareness. Dreams and a deep, meditative state of consciousness are common characteristics of theta.
• Delta (0.1-3.9 Hz): Delta, the deepest of the brainwave patterns, is a state of deep sleep, or trance-like consciousness. Maintaining awareness into delta can result in opening access to the unconscious portion of our consciousness.

As you go from the higher frequency beta pattern, down through alpha, through theta, and into delta, the electrical fluctuations in the brain increase. Coupled with the creation of these increased fluctuations in such a way that they occur in a synchronous manner throughout the brain the brain is pushed to create new neural pathways, changing patterns of perception and information transfer in the brain, thereby creating new ways of experiencing yourself and your world. This same process happens in traditional meditation, which creates the same electric fluctuations through a process of focusing, whether on a mantra, the breath, a prayer, or some other point of focus.

Between the fourth and seventh day among breast-fed babies, bifidobacteria normally outdo the rest of the field. Researchers now realize that one of the chief reasons breast-fed babies get markedly fewer infections than formula-fed ones is that mothers milk tends to promote superior growth of bifidobacteria in the GI tract. These microorganisms, in turn, produce essential byproducts in the intestines, which act as a barrier to the growth of dangerous pathogenic microbes that cause infection and disease.

Chronic bronchitis may result from prolonged exposure to bronchial irritants. Cigarette smoking, environmental toxins, and inhalant allergens can all cause chronic irritation of the bronchi. The cells lining the bronchi produce excess mucus in response to the chronic irritation; this excess mucus production can lead to a chronic, productive cough. Allergies can also cause bronchitis.

Bronchitis can be particularly dangerous in the elderly and in people with compromised immune systems. These individuals should see a doctor if they develop a respiratory infection.

For irritations of the respiratory tract, lungs, and bronchials, the Resp Free formula can be used: comfrey root (Symphytum officinale), mullein (Verbascum thapsus), chickweed (Stellaria media), marshmallow root (Althea officinalis), and lobelia (Lobelia inflata). Emphysema, bronchitis, asthma and tuberculosis sufferers have been helped by using this formula either as a tea (three cups a day), or in capsules (two or three capsules or tablets three times a day with a cup of comfrey tea). Three to six drops of tincture of lobelia may be added to the tea for additional aid.

Dr. Budwig began a consultation practice, to apply her ideas and methods to cancer cases doctors had given up as hopeless. She recommends against surgery, radiation, or drugs. She says that one must choose between toxic and natural treatments, and that one should not expect good results from combining them. Her treatments are strictly nutritional. They use a lot of flax oil and dairy protein. The diet she strictly imposes on patients includes plenty of carrot juice, fresh greens,whole grains (especially buckwheat), flax oil, skim milk protein, nuts, and a few herbs. She recommends rainbow trout because of its high content of w3 fatty acids. She refuses to use supplements, on principle.

She considers her protocol to be a return to the way we should have been eating in order not to get sick in the first place. Once sick, a return to her way of eating supplies the materials needed for repair and rebuilding.

Dr. Budwig claims to have successfully treated cancer (colon, brain, lung, stomach, breast, lymph, liver, melanoma, and leukemia), cardiovascular disease, diabetes, acne and other skin conditions, weak vision and hearing, constipation, sterility, dry skin, menstrual problems (cramps, foul odors, breast pain), glandular atrophy, fatty liver and other liver complaints, gallstones, pancreatic malfunction, kidney degeneration, blood disorders, anoxia, arthritic conditions, childhood diseases such as mumps, measles, and swollen tonsils, immune deficiency, and low vitality.
