Good evening everybody welcome to this particular webinar this evening on Do I Need to Detox In Order To Prevent and Treat Cancer. My name Dick Tom. I am the co-founder and medical director at the American Centre for Biological Medicine here in Scottsdale Arizona where we have a beautiful day.<\/p>\n
What we\u2019re going to be taking about this evening is a variety of things. This will be quite fast past .I already given you an overview of detoxification and the need for detoxification as its happening. So we are going to be talking about what is health , what is disease, why do people get\u00a0 sick , what\u00a0 is\u00a0 detoxification , what is cleansing , why would one need to detoxify , who should detoxify , how do we detoxify and what does the detoxification treatment \u00a0plan look\u00a0 like .<\/p>\n
So the origins \u00a0of detoxification of course have\u00a0 been used for thousands of years,\u00a0 in fact fasting is one\u00a0 of the oldest therapeutic\u00a0 practise of medicine. Hippocrates the ancient great father of western medicine 500 BC recommended fasting as a way to improve health. It\u2019s nothing that is new, it\u2019s is something that has been recognised and certainly has been done for an extremely long period of time. Amravati medicine with roots in India is certainly a traditionally healing system also that utilises detoxification methods for the management of the chronic diseases.<\/p>\n
Look at what health\u00a0 is and if we had the ability for\u00a0 interaction we would write down and say what\u00a0 do\u00a0 you think health\u00a0 means to you and we can look at what the World Health Organisation have said, what they have said this and this and this is not\u00a0 new\u00a0 it was written in 1948 and\u00a0 they really haven\u2019t changed\u00a0 it since then\u00a0 It this state\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 of complete physical , mental and social wellbeing and merely\u00a0 the absence\u00a0\u00a0 of disease or infirmity .<\/p>\n
What we need to look at is as is statute of balance. The word that\u00a0\u00a0 has been coined is the words that is homeostasis. It was coined in the 1800s by a physician and we need to look at own what are the things in the body that we need to look at in order to try and maintain homeostasis.\u00a0 We are just going to briefly touch on 5 important principles that if they are not imbalanced it is going to be very difficult to be health. One is the correct concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide. So obviously we are well aware of we breathe throughout the day 12- 15 times per minute day in, day out and as we are breathing in we are also breathing out and so we breathe in life giving oxygen and we breathe out carbon dioxide. If there is not\u00a0 a proper balance in that and in\u00a0 my experience many\u00a0 patients who have a chronic illness there is not, we are\u00a0 finding\u00a0 often\u00a0 in cancer patients that they have a lower than ideal\u00a0 oxygen concentration in their blood\u00a0 and as we\u00a0 try to increase their\u00a0 oxygen concentration\u00a0 they struggle because of circulatory problems and a number in of their type of issues.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s a very unfortunate thing because cancer cells do quite well in an anaerobic or low oxygen consecration and so one of the therapies for cancer is to increase the amount of oxygen that you can get in, at the same time trying\u00a0\u00a0 to get out carbon dioxide. Many of you are probably familiar with the whole concept of alkaline acid base. We have water alkalises now with the idea to try\u00a0\u00a0 and make the system a little closer to being alkaline. Many patients with chronic illness we find that their tissue h state ted to be more an impassive state and so that\u2019s a function of trying to get the metabolism correctly.<\/p>\n
So it\u2019s one thing to have the correct diet but you have to get the food in. So what is the actual concentration and \u00a0nutrients to gets to\u00a0 the cell where they are actually\u00a0 utilized and not just\u00a0 a\u00a0 function of eating them to\u00a0 see if they are able to get what\u00a0 we they need bit we also have to\u00a0 remove also the waste product. Everybody think of salt as being bad but we should really look at it as extremely important electrolytes.<\/p>\n
The sodium\u00a0 in\u00a0 chloride are important electrolytes\u00a0 in your body as well as potassium and other electrolytes\u00a0 and any improper imbalance\u00a0 of those I am almost sure that you would have some type of variety signs or systems\u00a0 that are problematic. The of course we need to keep the proper volume of fluid and pressure within our system otherwise swell up or otherwise we get very thin. These are the internal aspects when we are looking at the internal components of homeostasis.<\/p>\n
Now we look at health therefore as this continuous balancing act. What you have inherited from your parents as a component that relates to it. The lifestyle that we have will it relate to it which of course\u00a0 relates to what you eat , what you do and the job that you do and how much sleep you get and how water\u00a0 you drink and those are both interplayed\u00a0 by something called epigenetics which\u00a0 we touch on in just a sec. In contrast to what is health we can ask what is a disease and if we break the word up into two it simple is di-ease. It is a dis-ease at any level, not just the physical level. it can be\u00a0 an\u00a0 emotional , mental , spiritual\u00a0\u00a0 or the physical\u00a0 level\u00a0\u00a0 of course and verse health which is a continuous\u00a0 balance unfortunately\u00a0 dis-ease\u00a0 is a continuous imbalance and the body is never\u00a0 quite able to balance out the important\u00a0 factors.<\/p>\n
We can look at and we often do at our patient population and ask when does a chronic disease start? You know people might say I have end sic for weeks m, months in some cases they may say years. Most people don\u2019t realise that most chronic disease however starts a very long time ago. In fact we now have the knowledge that the chronic disease starts at pre conception from an energetic imbalance and this obviously occurs long before there is any detectable signs or symptoms. A couple of years ago Time Magazine published an article, Why Your DA Isn\u2019t Your Destiny.\u00a0 We used think that what\u00a0 we know about genetics is everything\u00a0 and if you were fortunate enough to have parents who live through 100 years\u00a0 old the\u00a0 likelihood that\u00a0 you could\u00a0 live through a 100 was much better than\u00a0 if\u00a0 your parents didn\u2019t like to that age , in fact may have died\u00a0 much more prematurely of\u00a0 some type of a chronic illness.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In fact we knew know\u00a0 that that so not necessarily true and then time\u00a0 published this one a couple of years ago with the\u00a0 idea that the pregnancy itself has an impact on the rest\u00a0 of your life which means it\u2019s not just about mom it\u2019s also how much does dad play\u00a0 a role in this aspect . Then news week published this in\u00a0 2010 The Sins of Your Grandfathers: What happens In Vegas\u00a0 Can Affect Your Offspring and in fact\u00a0 we know that\u2019s true because\u00a0 of this whole idea of epigenetics\u00a0 and there\u2019s a\u00a0 pretty big study done in Europe a number of\u00a0 years ago and just looking at one factor only and that\u2019s the birth weight . Low birth rate for a full term\u00a0 pregnancy basically by the time the person\u00a0 grows up and gets to their\u00a0 7th\u00a0 decade of life , without any\u00a0 other risk factors, we don\u2019t talk about cholesterol , we don\u2019t have to\u00a0 about what they have to eat , we\u00a0 don\u2019t have to talk about their\u00a0 blood pressure just the fact that\u00a0 they were low . Low meaning less than 5.5 pounds they have a 2-3 times increase risk of cardio vascular disease.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The same can be said for cancer, specifically breast cancer. It\u2019s know\u00a0 that\u00a0 Lowe birth weight girls below 5.5 pounds\u00a0 or alternatively high birth weight about\u00a0 8.5 pounds\u00a0 have a n increase risk of breast cancer\u00a0 later on\u00a0 in their lives. So birth weight have a great deal to do with it. We have this idea that problems start long ago as\u00a0 an energetic problem , eventually they may show up as a functional problem when you go to your doctor and he says look\u00a0 we don\u2019t find anything\u00a0 wrong\u00a0 and everything\u00a0 seems ok but yet you\u00a0 have these symptoms and if you await\u00a0 long enough you end up with this\u00a0 regional or something we can find on a lab test\u00a0 over all .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This is the whole idea\u00a0 of epigenetics that\u00a0 we\u00a0 are able to show and\u00a0\u00a0 prove that what happens as your cells are dividing\u00a0 , as your genes\u00a0 are replicating , what is going on can have a huge\u00a0\u00a0 impact on what happens later on line life including your future generations . This particular\u00a0 research was done in Penn State\u00a0 in 2000-20011 where\u00a0 they\u00a0 observed\u00a0 poor childhood health increase the\u00a0 morbidity\u00a0 later on in life of\u00a0\u00a0 having\u00a0 cancer, lung diseases , cardio\u00a0 vascular\u00a0 conditions and arthritis . So it is indeed true that the\u00a0 health of\u00a0 a child\u00a0 pretty much determines what type of conditions that they are going to have later\u00a0 in life . So we should ask why somebody get ill. We can look at\u00a0 a number of common ones and I have asked this\u00a0 question in enough\u00a0 presentations and seminars\u00a0 that I have done over the years so\u00a0 I have sort of collected\u00a0 this bit of information . Some people would say of course\u00a0\u00a0 the body is breaking\u00a0 down\u00a0 like\u00a0\u00a0 a cavity or\u00a0\u00a0 just [Inaudible] or we get an obstruction , a kidney stone , that is\u00a0 obviously \u00a0very painful or\u00a0 blocked arteries , they are well known to cause strokes and\u00a0 heart disease and injury\u00a0 of some form having\u00a0 motor vehicle accidents certainly and an\u00a0 imbalance of hormones, too\u00a0\u00a0 much , too little and not enough of the right one .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Malnutrition plays a role. One of the most common ones that people are familiar with are of course microbes. Particcualr viruses. We are just going through the flu season so we hear a lot about flu and clods and that kind of things.\u00a0 Anybody who has\u00a0 young children\u00a0 in day care invariably they find that the\u00a0 child\u00a0 is not in day care for too long\u00a0 and they will have a an ear ach or they have a cold or\u00a0 runny\u00a0 nose or they have diahorrea as these organisms get past around and then\u00a0 the one we are going\u00a0 to talk about is toxins themselves\u00a0 and then it is now\u00a0 known that stress pretty much contributes , there is a contributing hector\u00a0 to virtually\u00a0 all types of chronic diseases and then of course \u00a0we have the\u00a0 life style choices that people will make that can\u00a0 be a problem , When they will say bite\u00a0 are they really the cause or\u00a0 are they just a trigger of what the problems\u00a0 is .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
