HIV AIDS (HIVP-AIDS) (HIV Potentiated AIDS)
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (aka acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) (AIDS) is a set of symptoms and infections considered to be the result of damage to the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), while many investigators believe a multitude of other factors contribute to the syndrome. This condition progressively reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and also tumors.. ...read more

Herpes simplex is a viral disease caused by Herpes simplex viruses.
Oral herpes is the most common form of herpes infection. Infection of the genitals, commonly known as genital herpes, is the second most common form of herpes. In both oral and genital herpes, after initial infection, the viruses move to sensory nerves, where they continue living in a latent form for the rest of the life of the host. Recurrence decline in frequency as the immune system comes to equilibrium with the presence of the viruses. ...read more

Prolotherapy in The Treatment of Neck and Back Pain and Other Joint Instability Syndromes
One out of three people, at some time in life, experiences spinal disease significant enough to lead to professional treatment. In America alone, $7.4 billion are spent on drugs every year to treat pain originating in the spine. Every day, one out of five people in Western countries (and probably worldwide) suffer from debilitating spinal pain. ...read more

Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) (CFS)
Many alternative medicine practitioners grasp that CFIDS has something to do with toxicity and they approach the illness with various methods of "detoxification." However, the illness is not that simple and this explains why these practitioners achieve sometimes fair, but temporary, results. In fact, the cause of CFIDS is a condition of heavy metal (usually mercury) toxicity/overload complexed with an intestinal gut wall chronic inflammation. ...read more

Hormone replacement therapy is coming fully into its own and by itself can cut morbidity and mortality statistics in half. If you have not requested to be tested for the adrenal, sex, thyroid, and growth hormones, you are missing the boat and a powerful ticket to good health. ..read more

Intravenous EDTA Chelation Therapy
Chelation (pronounced key-lay-shun) is a chemical reaction that results in a bond being formed between a metal ion and an organic (i.e., carbon-based — made mostly of carbon) molecule. The resulting complex, metal bound to molecule, is called a "chelate" and contains one or more rings of atoms in which the metal ion is so firmly bound it cannot escape. This allows the metal ion to be transported in the same manner as a prisoner, first handcuffed, then moved from one location to another. ...read more

Intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy (IV H2O2)
Bio-oxidative medicine is the addition of oxygen directly to the tissues of the body in the form of singlet oxygen (lone oxygen atoms) in a highly reactive state. In living systems oxygen (as O2) is transported by hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells. This is a highly efficient way of conducting oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body and insuring it does not react with anything along the way. Because it is bound by hemoglobin, it is unable to react to anything else until it is released by the hemoglobin (which then picks up carbon dioxide and transports it to the lungs)....read more

In Defense of EDTA
A summary of the medical politics, turf struggles between medical specialties and factions in the health care professions, and the medical economics of EDTA chelation therapy is described in detail to answer the question, "If EDTA chelation therapy is so good, why is it not more widely accepted?" ...read more

Mercury Toxicity
Mercury toxicity is extremely common thanks to the dental profession which installs tons of mercury in people's mouths every day (dental amalgam is 35-50 % mercury). Mercury changes to a vapor through "sublimation," in the same way frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) sublimates to a gas without first liquifying, only much slower of course....read more

Toxins and Detoxification
Detoxification, or "detox" is a general term referring to any procedure which rids the body of toxins. Exogenous toxins are those molecular structures that enter the body from the environment for which the body has no use and which may also cause damage. Endogenous toxins are products of metabolism of which the body must rid itself. ...read more

Longevity Medicine
An enduring dream of humankind is to find the "Fountain of Youth," a way to the prevention of aging. There are many notions of what causes aging.

Preventing Cancer
The increased incidence of cancer in the past forty years represents a true epidemic. Let me explain that. Statistically speaking one-third of our population will get cancer in their lifetimes, more than one-quarter will die from it. Last year more than 500,000 people died of cancer in the U.S. This is a national epidemic! ...read more

Photoluminescent Therapy (Ultraviolet Light Therapy) (UBI, UBVI)
Photoluminescent therapy, also known as UBI, UVBI, (for ultraviolent blood irradiation) is thought of as a new treatment. However, it was first developed in the 1930s as a treatment for the polio virus.and other viral and bacterial infections. ...read more

Natural Cancer Therapies There is a short list of treatments that are usually used in combination with other therapies, which have powerful healing properties of their own. Each one is occasionally used exclusively in the treatment of cancer, however I do not recommend them as stand-alone therapies. These therapies are: intravenous vitamin C, chelation, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, hyperthermia, DMSO and live cell therapy.....read more

Therapies for Cancer Theories About Cancer: The only thing we know as certain about cancer is that it is an uncontrolled growth of cells. These cells have the ability to migrate to different parts of the body and grow out of control there as well. Here are some popular theories about cancer and the therapies that result: The Internal Enemy Theory, The Environmental Toxin Theory, The Invader Theory and the Types of Cancer Therapies.....read more

Wilson's Reverse t3 Dominance Syndrome ...Recently it has been noted that heavy metal toxicity, especially that involving mercury, slows metabolism and produces these kinds of symptoms - possibly by interfering with thyroid hormone receptor sites. This is by far the most common cause of hypometabolism in the face of normal thyroid hormone levels. ....read more
