Generally, my throat feels tight and dry and uncomfortable, especially when I swallow. It feels like something's choking me at times. I've taken antibiotics and other drugs that haven't really helped. I've wondered if this might be cancer, but I don't want to find out."

QUESTION:

I have a serious problem with my throat. For some time it has felt very constricted, and there are swellings or rather lumps in the glands. One lump just to the right of my wind pipe and next to my adam's apple,  is hard and quite large (about half an inch long by an 1/8th of an inch or so in diameter). The other lumps are very small. When I rub my wind pipe in the hollow area just above my rib cage it feels a little tender to the touch, and if I press certain areas I feel a slight shooting pain or else I gag a little like I had an itch in my throat that was making me gag.
 
Generally, my throat feels tight and dry and uncomfortable, especially when I swallow. It feels like something's choking me at times. I've taken antibiotics and other drugs that haven't really helped.  However, the discomfort is relieved when I'm  eating. I also find that when I sleep it helps to relax it, and it generally feels better first thing in the morning when I've just wakened. I find that water fasting also helps to alleviate the condition (in fact it's my last line of defense), but again not completely.  I've wondered if this might be cancer, but I don't want to find out. Besides, although the tightness has been getting gradually worse in the last few months or so, and suddenly took a turn for the worse about two months ago, I've had this same lump for quite a while, so it's not as though it's growing. I think the fasting and other measures I've taken  have also helped to stop it getting worse.
 
I have to tell you that for years I've taken Ventolin (a.k.a. Albuterol in the US) and intermittetly either Predinisone or an accuhaler steroid for asthma sure as Seretide, which is how I believe my glaucoma came on, or in any case was exacerbated. It's very possible that these drugs have led to this condition.  Years ago I used to smoke but I haven't touched cigarettes now in about 7 years, and i have no intention of ever smoking again. I've also suffered for years from acid reflux, and I'm sure that that too had something to do with it. My acid reflux is not so bad now, because since I've started taking Apple Cider Vinegar and other natural measures, that has greatly helped to relieve it.
 
Sorry for going on and on, but I wanted to make sure to give as much detail as possible. I hope you and Dr. Garland can help..
 
Best regards,

ANSWER:

 I went to the person who I feel is most qualified to answer this very important question. Dr. Wayne Garland. Here is his answer!

Lena thank you for asking my advice? Sadly his/her (it doesn't say if it's man or woman and no name signed doesn't give me a clue) worst fear may be exactly what is happening but without a biopsy I cannot say for sure? With a past history of smoking and the symptoms described this is most likely cancer or at best Hashimoto's disease. Hashimoto's is a huge guess and probably not the problem, mostly a thought? Either way the tumors/growths/swellings must be shrunk... The safest treatment would be to treat it as cancer and this is what I'm going to suggest? You and I know that we are seeing cancers disappear with alternative treatment so I would like to give this person hope that we could help do the same for him/her

Here is what I recommend for this person;

1.: LIQUID MINERALS.

2.: THYROID ENERGY FORMULA.

3.: ESIAK FORMULA not Essiac tea. (You can arrange this for him/her.)

4.: ANTIOXIDANT FORMULA.

5.: IMMUNE SUPPORT FORMULA.

6.: SHARK LIVER OIL FORMULA.

7.: If female then the hormones has to be brought into balance along with the thyroid for growths to start to subside so  would need BALANCED WOMAN FORMULA.

If after 30 days no shrinkage is see we would need to add Iscador and the Mistletoe Elixir…

I will give exact doses for all these should this person choose to follow my advice and go the alternative protocol route…

These supplements along with the 7-day cleansing diet (you can email the suggested diet to them), following that will include; a diet with no dairy, no meat, no white flour, no additives, no processed foods. All combined should find him/her with a shrinking of the growths and with time healthy… You can arrange for this protocol to be shipped to them and follow our normal followup routine of the person checking in weekly or anytime questions or concerns are warranted… If the person adheres to our protocol I expect we should see the same results we see in others… BUT as usual NO guarantees if protocol not followed as recommended…

Thank you Lena for being there for these people…

Dr. G.

WISER THAN YOU KNOW!
 
In many areas you are knowledgeable. But do you know that you are wise, too? Perhaps far wiser than you realize.
 
Wisdom is more than knowledge. Wisdom is the product of lessons learned in the school of life. Wisdom can be hard won; for it is often birthed in the ashes of failure.
 
Theodore Levitt, of the Harvard Business School, said, "Experience comes from what we have done. Wisdom comes from what we have done badly." If that is true, I am wiser than I ever imagined!
 
One man tells of sitting next to a "wise" woman on a flight to Florida. He was preparing his notes for one of the parent-education seminars he conducted as an educational psychologist. Bessie, an older woman sitting next to him, explained that she was returning to Miami after having spent two weeks visiting her six children, 18 grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren in Boston.
 
Then she inquired what he did for a living. The man explained that he was a doctor psychologist specializing in children. He dreaded telling her this, as he fully expected her to question him for free professional advice during the three-hour flight. Instead, she sat back, picked up a magazine and said, "So doctor, if there's anything you want to know, just ask me."

Bessie's years of parenting and grand-parenting gave her what no professional degrees could -- wisdom. And though her comment may have been made in jest, she probably could have added much to the seminar.

Don't dismiss those mistakes and tough times you have suffered. Don't discount your many life experiences. You paid a high price for them. And if you learned well, they brought you something priceless -- wisdom!

For everything you have done -- EVERYTHING --  has given you experience. And if it did not all go as well as you'd hoped, then you also gained some wisdom. This wisdom, the progeny of your setbacks and difficulties, may be your most valuable asset!

 
Who will benefit from your wisdom today?

FOOD OF THE WEEK
=================

Tis The Season, Not Christmas Either!
 
This purple-black plant is a delectable food. One of our favorite foods in the summer, fresh from the garden.
 
The purple nutrient rich Eggplant, hated by so many yet loved by a lot also.  Some people we offer fresh eggplant to say; "I don't like eggplant because they are bitter." Well if they are not fresh that is sometimes the case but fresh from the garden they are not at all bitter and taste so different.
 
A member of the nightshade family, eggplant counts tomatoes, potatoes and peppers as cousins.
 
The Spaniards of the 16th century called eggplants berengenas, or "apples of love," while some of the botanists of northern Europe of the same period called the species Mala insana, or "mad apple," because they thought that eating it would make a person insane. Equally unfounded was the idea in medieval Europe that it had remarkable properties as a love potion. The history behind the eggplant is long and surprising to many, therefore I will let you click to read as it would take too much room in the ezine. Click Here to read the eggplant_history.htm
 
Some will tell you that an eggplant is low in nutrients but I beg to differ. The following Minerals are found in them; Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese and Selenium and vitamins haven't been left out either, they include; Vitamin C, A, B-6, E, B-12, DFE, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Folate and Retinol. I would not call that low in nutrients?
 
Eggplant comes in several varieties.
 
Most often found in stores and gardens are the Large Oval eggplant with various names such as; Dusky, Epic (tear-drop shaped), Black Bell (round to oval, productive), Black Magic, Classic (elongated oval, high quality), Black Beauty, Burpee Hybrid, Ghostbuster  9white, slightly sweeter than purple types oval). Oval Santorini (Whimsical in nature, white in color, this particular 'fruit' needs no watering. Sweet to taste, juicy and quite delicious, this eggplant is beloved by chefs since it does not absorb oil. Lovers of good cuisine should be aware that only in Santorini can one sample this unique delicacy.)
 
Then there are thinner elongated types; Ichiban, Slim Jim,lavender, (turning purple when very small as a peanut) Little Fingers (6 to 8 inch).
 
With a third type and usually looked at as edible ornamental eggplant called the Easter Egg (small white, egg-sized, shaped, turning yellow at maturity).


The nutrients vary slightly from one type to the other but all quite nutritious and healthy!
 
Eggplant stores poorly and prefers a temperature of 50 degrees, and therefore doesn't keep very well at room temperature or in the refrigerator. So growing your own is the smart move to assure freshness or if you purchase at the store should be used within the next 48 to 72 hours.
 
Here is a great Greek Style Eggplant dish that most love!
 
Stuffed Eggplant Greek Style
 
INGREDIENTS:
 
4 large eggplants
1/2 cup olive oil
Coarse kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper
4 onions, chopped medium
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 28-ounce can whole, peeled tomatoes
1/4 cup parsley
2 tablespoons basil
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 pounds ground lamb (optional)
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
4 tablespoons butter, plus extra for baking
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups scalded milk
4 eggs
10 tablespoons bread crumbs
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
 
PREPARATION:
··Prick eggplants several times with a fork. On a large baking sheet, roast eggplants in 400 degree oven until soft, 35 to 45 minutes, turning frequently to prevent charring. Cool and slice eggplants lengthwise into 1/2-inch pieces. In a saute pan heat 1/4 cup olive oil and brown eggplant slices, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with kosher salt.
 
SAUCE:
In a saucepan heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat, add 1 chopped onion and 2 chopped garlic cloves and saute until tender. Add tomatoes and their liquid. squeeze the tomatoes in your hands into broken into coarse chunks. Add parsley, pepper, basil, cumin, cinnamon and vinegar. Bring the sauce to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until sauce becomes thick, about 20-30 minutes.
Yield: 3 1/2 cups sauce.
 
PREPARATION FOR THE OPTIONAL LAMB FILLING:
* Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil with onions and garlic over medium-high heat; saute until tender, 5 minutes.
* Add lamb and brown well, breaking up pieces with a wooden spatula until the pieces are no larger than 1/4 inch.
* Add wine, bring to a boil and cook until wine has reduced almost completely.
* Season meat with salt, pepper and nutmeg and stir in 1/2 cup tomato sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 1 hour.
 
BECHAMEL SAUCE:
* In a saucepan melt butter, not artificial butter either, over medium-low heat and gradually whisk in flour to make a roux.
Cook 1 minute, whisking constantly, but do not let the roux get brown.
Slowly whisk in warm milk. Bring bechamel sauce to a slow boil, whisking constantly,
then reduce heat to barely simmering and cook 20 - 25 minutes until smooth and thickened.
Remember to stir occasionally so as not to let the sauce stick. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Let cool slightly.
* In a bowl whisk the eggs and then whisk in spoonful of sauce to warm the eggs so they will not scramble.
Slowly whisk in the remaining sauce and adjust seasoning to taste, if needed.
 
FINAL ASSEMBLY:
 
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large baking dish or lasagna pan (18x8x3-inches) sprinkle 2 tablespoons bread crumbs and cover evenly with half of eggplant. (If meat used drain as much oil from mixture as possible, can squeeze meat in a paper towel and spread over eggplant; top with half of the feta cheese, then with half of remaining bread crumbs. Layer remaining eggplant, then bechamel sauce, remaining feta cheese and remaining bread crumbs in even layers.
Dot top generously with butter. Bake 45 minutes until bubbly and top is well-browned. If necessary, brown top briefly under a preheated broiler. Cool slightly and cut into 3-inch squares to serve.
Serve with extra tomato sauce, if desired.
