QUESTION:
Hi this is Cesar, congratulations, you are great...Do
you have any information on treatment for a fish
poisoning (called "ciguatera" in spanish). Aparently
regular medicine does not have any cure or treatment. I
enjoy very much your articles and have taken very dearly
your advices. I pray for your continuing success and
care.
Thank You...
ANSWER:
Hi Cesar,
Thanks for the vote of confidence and appreciation...
Since this is something that most of my readers have
never heard of I think a bit of history would help them
to know what your question means.
Ciguatera (fish poisoning) is said to be the most
reported marine toxin disease in the world, associated
with consumption of contaminated reef fish such as
barracuda, grouper, and snapper. Under-diagnosis and
under-reported (especially in endemic areas such as the
Caribbean.). Most likely is suffered by 50,000 plus
people per year who live in or visit tropical and
subtropical areas suffer from Ciguatera worldwide. For
example, CDC and others estimate that only 2-10% of
Ciguatera cases are actually reported in the United
States. In the US Virgin Islands, there are an estimated
300 cases per 10,000 or 3% of the population per year; a
similar rate is found in the French West Indies. In St.
Thomas, a household survey estimated that 4.4% of all
households suffered from Ciguatera annually (at least
2640 persons per year or an annual incidence of 600
cases per year); in Puerto Rico, 7% of the residents
have experienced at least one episode of Ciguatera in
their lifetime. The medical world has yet to figure out
how to treat it... Sadly it is missed by most
physicians...
Ciguatera patient, especially in the Caribbean, suffer
for weeks to months with debilitating neurologic
symptoms, including profound weakness, temperature
sensation changes, pain, and numbness in the
extremities.
Ciguatera presents primarily as an acute neurologic
disease manifesting with gastrointestinal symptoms
(diarrhea, abdominal cramps and vomiting), neurologic (paresthesias,
burning or prickling sensation that is usually felt in
the hands, arms, legs, or feet, pain in the teeth, pain
on urination, blurred vision, and temperature drops)
also cardiovascular (arrhythmias, heart block, which may
or may not cause death) signs and symptoms usually
within about six hours of contaminated fish ingestion.
The symptom of Ciguatera intoxication is hot/cold
temperature temperatures, although not all patients
report this. So ciguatera is toxin poisoning that that
cannot be helped with charcoal as most poisoning can...
In severe cases the neurological symptoms are known to
persist from weeks to months. In a few isolated cases
neurological symptoms persist for several years, and in
some cases recovered patients have experienced
recurrence of neurological symptoms months to years
after recovery. Such relapses are usually associated
with changes in dietary habits or with consumption of
alcohol.
As for alternative treatments. Sadly Ciguatera is not
usually recognized fast enough to prevent latent
affects... If the body's immune system is in top working
shape it most likely will not be noticed as the symptoms
will be so light that it will be thought of as a simple
gastrointestinal upset. If you notice these symptoms are
the same ones exhibited by environmental toxic poisoning
and require much of the same type of treatments...
The first order should be thorough detoxing immediately
to rid the body of the toxins that is creating the
problems. This is something the traditional medical
world doesn't understand or else ignores... There are
numerous detoxing instructions available online for that
purpose or you can contact me for my preferred choice...
Of course that alone will probably not stop the symptoms
as the body has already been accosted...
Next should come some or all of the minerals/herbs to
combat any ongoing symptoms.
1. In all cases
Balanced Minerals to help strengthen the whole
body's immune system along with the body's filtration
system that includes the liver, kidneys and thyroid,
from becoming clogged and inefficient.
2. for neurological/mental symptoms
Mind Power
to nourish and strengthen the brain.
3. for nerves that have gone wild due to the toxins
Tolerance herbal formula. These should give relief
until the body is able to detox and repair...
There are other things that can help with severely
debilitating affects, untreated or unsuccessfully
treated, that have been long term and would require
personal protocols set up for that person...
Hope this helps,
Lena
QUESTION #2:
Hi,
My name is Michelle and I live in Honolulu, Hawaii. I
have recently heard of a product called "Total Food"
that is actually for diabetes. The only thing I know
about it is that it is sold from Walla Walla
Washington. My friend told me that her friend was
diagnosed with pancreatic cancer more than 10 years ago
and because he took one spoon of this "total food" three
times a day, he is still alive today. The only
stipulation he was told was that he could not take
chemotherapy and that he needed to stay away from green
beans and red fish.
I'm hoping desperately that you can help me since I have
just recently learned of a very dear friend who is
seriously ill with pancreatic cancer. Any help you can
give me would be deeply appreciated.
aloha - michelle
ANSWER:
Thanks for the question Michelle,
I'm sorry but I know of no such product.
I do know that lots of people refer to "BarleyGreen" as
a total food, but that will not cure an illness by
itself... BarleyGreen, high in chlorella content that is
known to be a very healthy nutrient and detoxifier, can
be found at most highend health food stores under
various names and is most definitely good for an ill
person; just don't expect it to cure cancer or any other
horrific illness by itself...
It sounds like your friend has some erroneous
information or that person had no minerals or vitamin
intake prior to the cancer and once the body began
receiving a large portion of partial nutrients a turn
around may have happened but I truly doubt it was with
that alone... You can bet they changed their diet and
habits drastically at the same time?
Personally I would agree to almost any natural treatment
before chemotherapy or radiation treatment as they are
most often a waste of time and money as well as risking
life since the treatments are only effective to those
who can survive the onslaught to the body. The chances
of surviving are about 42% of those who undergo those
traditional treatments. I would take my chances with
almost natural treatments as they have a much higher
success rate in the 80% range versus 40% range in
traditional medicine...
I would like to add that every study that I have read
over the last 15 years that has been done in regards to
nutrition and cancer/diseases has come up with 1 to 4
minerals missing as a link to causation of each
illness/disease. This tells me that nutrition is the key
to prevention and repair yet cannot be the whole answer
in repairing the body once it has been diseased... See
Balance Your Way To Health in order to better
understand that premise...
Be sure to read Sunday August 21st
A Natural Environmental Health Facts and some of the
alternatives you have available in Hawaii...
I'm sorry I am unable to answer your question as to
where to get that Super Food...

A CURE FOR
LONELINESS
People do strange things! I heard of
a man who occasionally swallowed coins -- enough to make
him sick! Which, as it turns out, was the whole idea.
When asked why he made himself sick swallowing coins, he
replied that he enjoyed the affection and attention the
staff showed him in the hospital!
He was lonely. Many of us are lonely. When asked, "What
is life's heaviest burden?" one lonely old man answered,
"To have nothing to carry."
A cure for loneliness is to carry the burden of another.
Get involved with their problems. Visit others who are
also lonely. Listen to someone else's troubles. Find
people who need you and do something for them. Carrying
another's burden will lighten the load of your
loneliness.
I know a woman who gave each person in her family a
golden angel lapel pin one Christmas. "Wear it on your
collar or shoulder," she said, "to remind you that your
guardian angel is always looking over your shoulder."
Her brother noticed his pin had a broken wing. He held
up his damaged angel and quipped, "It figures. My
guardian angel is missing a wing. She can't even take
care of herself!"
Two years later he died of cancer. As I thought of the
pain his family must be feeling, I was struck with how
his broken angel is like each of us. We each hurt. We
all experience loss. At times we are lonely. Like that
angel, we are each broken in some way, even if our
damage is interior and invisible to others.
But we're each like his broken angel in another way,
too. As it has been so beautifully said, "We are all
like angels with just one wing. We can only fly by
embracing each other." You see, we will heal best by
hanging on to one another. And we will overcome
loneliness best by putting an arm around someone else
and going it with them.
This family embraced each other. And as they carried one
another's burdens, their own loads were lightened. It's
a solution for loneliness -- and a formula for
happiness.

FOOD OF THE WEEK
=================
Yellow, Red, White, Blue (Zea
mays var. rugosa)
Today's vegetable come in an array of
colors such as yellow, red, white and blue with variations in between
all of those? And sadly I received some really bad information in my
early adult years on this vegetable. A badly informed friend told me
that this vegetable had no nutrients in it to help us and that it was a
wasted food? How that rumor got started I will never know but it is
absolutely false! I did not take the time to even look it up then but I
have since found that is absolutely a far fetched fallacy!
Corn season is here in our area and the annual Community Corn Dinner
will be held this coming weekend?
Our veggie this week, corn contains a multitude of nutrients?
Fiber to keep our bowels regular and healthy, along with a multitude of
Minerals such as; Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium,
Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese and Selenium. And many Vitamins such as;
Vitamins A, C, B-6, B-12, E, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic
acid, Folate and Folic acid.
History and Origin
In Native American usage, the word for
corn means "our life," or "our mother," or "she who
sustains us." It was the cultivation of corn that turned Native
American tribes from nomadic to agrarian communities.
It was from the Native Americans that the first European settlers
learned about corn. Native Americans had spent hundreds of years
developing what we now know as corn from seed-bearing grass. Long before
Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain in 1492, Native Americans were
cultivating this grass in North, Central, and South America. Native
American farmers in the Ohio River Valley had been growing corn for more
than 1,700 years before the first white men crossed the Appalachian
Mountains, and there is evidence that they used corn to brew beer before
Europeans arrived in the Americas.
The Pawtuxet Indian tribe in Massachusetts was cultivating corn when the
first settler arrived, and corn was on the first Thanksgiving table in
1621. If it had not been for corn, the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony might
have starved to death during their first year in America. The Indians
taught settlers how to grown corn, pound corn into meal, and how to cook
with it. The words of Governor William Bradford, first governor of the
Plymouth Colony, now inscribed on a brass plaque at Truto (Corn Hill) on
Cape Cod, Massachusetts, reflect the settler's gratitude: "And sure
it was God's good providence that we found this corn for we know not how
else we should have done."
At first, when taken into Europe, corn was only a garden curiosity but
it soon began to be recognized as a valuable food crop. Within a few
years, it spread throughout France, Italy, and all of southeastern
Europe and northern Africa. By 1575, it was making its way into western
China, and had become important in the Philippines and the East Indies.
Although corn is indigenous to the western hemisphere, its exact
birthplace is far less certain. Archeological evidence of corn's early
presence in the western hemisphere was identified from corn pollen grain
considered to be 80,000 years old obtained from drill cores 200 feet
below Mexico City. Another archeological study of the bat caves in New
Mexico revealed corncobs that were 5,600 years old by radiocarbon
determination. Most historians believe corn was domesticated in the
Tehuacan Valley of Mexico. The original wild form has long been extinct.
Cooking sweet corn, whether you cream it, steam it or keep it on the
cob, unleashes beneficial nutrients that can substantially reduce
the chance of heart disease and cancer, according to Cornell
University food scientists. The study found that cooked sweet corn
retains its antioxidant activity, despite the loss of some vitamin C.
The word "corn" has many different meanings depending on what
country you are in. Corn in the United States is also called maize or
Indian corn. In some countries, corn means the leading crop grown in a
certain district. Corn in England means wheat; in Scotland and Ireland,
it refers to oats. Corn mentioned in the Bible is said to probably refer
to wheat or barley. Of course I didn't live then nor do I know anyone
who did and cannot verify that?
Our favorite way of eating corn is grilled in its husk. I usually pull
the husk back, remove as much of the silk as possible and make sure it's
worm free, then pull the husk back over the cob and put on a BBQ grill,
medium flame, and cook until husk is well burned? Turning frequently to
cook evenly? Then butter and eat. We also like it raw on the cob, when
it is fresh off the stalk? We also steam it and eat? I do not put a lot
of seasoning on it as we like the flavor natural...But corn can be fixed
many different ways. Corn can be found frozen through out the year so
you can enjoy this nutritious food any time?
The grandchildren are quick to ask for and love our Summer Sabbath
suppers of Popcorn and mixed fresh fruit salad, occasionally, when they
are here? Corn is great any way it's fixed to eat?
Enjoy this nutritious food,
