In 1932 Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery that cancer
was anaerobic: cancer occurs in the absence of free oxygen As innocuous as
this discovery might seem, it is actually a startling and significant finding
worthy of a Nobel Prize. What it basically means is that cancer is caused by
a lack of free oxygen in the body and therefore, whatever causes this to occur
is the cause of all cancers.
In chemistry, alkali solutions (pH over 7.0) tend to absorb oxygen, while
acids (pH under 7.0) tend to expel oxygen. For example, a mild alkali can
absorb over 100 times as much oxygen as a mild acid. Therefore, when the
body becomes acidic by dropping below pH 7.0 (note: all body fluids, except
for stomach and urine, are supposed to be mildly alkaline at pH 7.4), oxygen
is driven out of the body thereby, according to Nobel Prize winner Otto Warburg,
inducing cancer. Stomach fluids must remain acidic to digest food and urine
must remain acidic to remove wastes from the body. Blood is the exception.
Blood must always remain at an alkaline pH 7.4 so that it can retain its
oxygen. When adequate mineral consumption is in the diet, the blood is supplied
the crucial minerals required to maintain an alkaline pH of 7.4. However
when insufficient mineral consumption is in the diet, the body is forced
to rob Peter (other body fluids) to pay Paul (the blood). In doing so, it
removes crucial minerals, such as calcium, from the saliva, spinal fluids,
kidneys, liver, etc., in order to maintain the blood at pH 7.4. This causes
the demineralized fluids and organs to become acidic and therefore anaerobic,
thus inducing not only cancer, but a host of other degenerative diseases,
such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, lupus, etc..
Everyone knows that the human body is made up of 78% water by weight, and that
water is hydrogen and oxygen gases. When nitrogen gas and carbon in the form
of carbon dioxide and methane gases are added, the total gas in the body by
weight becomes over 95%. Almost half of the remaining 5% that makes up the
human body and controls all biological functions is the mineral calcium.
No other mineral is capable of performing as many biological functions
as is calcium. Calcium is involved in almost every biological function. This
amazing mineral provides the electrical energy for the heart to beat and
for all muscle movement. It is the calcium ion that is responsible for feeding
every cell. It does this by latching on to seven nutrient molecules and one
water molecule and pulls them through the nutrient channel. It then detaches
its load and returns to repeat the process. Another important biological
job for calcium is DNA replication, which is crucial for maintaining youth
and a healthy body. DNA replication is the basis for all body repair and
can only occur “on a substrate of calcium”. Thus, low calcium
means low body repair and premature aging. As important as all these and
hundreds of other biological functions of calcium are to human health, none
is more important than the job of pH control. Calcium to acid, is like water
to a fire. Calcium quickly destroys oxygen robbing acid in the body fluids.
Thus, the more calcium, the more oxygen, and therefore, the less cancer and
other degenerative disease.
This information then begs the question, “How much calcium is necessary
?” The answer can readily be determined by examining the diet of millions
of people around the world who consume over 100 times our Recommended Daily
Allowance, RDA, and who suffer the side effects of living 40 years longer
than we do, of aging at half the rate that we do, and of being devoid of
cancer, heart disease, mental disorders, diabetes, arthritis and all other
degenerative diseases. Almost all of these people, the Armenians, Azerbaijans
and Georgians in Russian, the Tibetans, the Hunzas of Northern Pakistan,
the Vilcabamba Indians in Ecuador, the Bamas in China and the Titicacas in
Peru live at high altitudes above 8000 feet. Their only source of water is
melting glaciers, and the glacial water is so turbid and white with ground
up rock that all of these cultures call the water “milk of the mountains”.
Each quart of this water contains over 17,000 milligrams of calcium along
with other minerals and 60 trace metals. These cultures drink several quarts
each day and the water fertilized crops are also loaded with calcium and
other nutrients. The only long living and disease free culture that does
not live above an altitude of 8000 feet, is the Okinawan’s.
Millions of Okinawans live in the southern coral islands of Japan with
the average life expectancy of 105 years, while mainland Japan is just 77
years. The Okinawans live on islands made of coral reefs which are mainly
calcium. The Okinawans discovered over 500 years ago that feeding coral sand
that is produced from the weathering of the reefs to the chickens and cows
results in twice as many eggs and twice as much milk. They also found that
when the coral sand is used as a fertilizer, crops increase by as much as
three fold. When they finally, 500 years ago, began to consume the coral
sand themselves, all of the under utilized doctors were forced to leave the
islands. This was known in Japanese history as the Japanese Exodus.
The early European explorers discovered their secret and hauled shiploads
of the calcium rich coral sands back to Europe. In Madrid Spain, the historic
monument of the world’s first drugstore contains rows of shelves labeled “coral
calcium from Okinawa Japan”. Today millions of people all over the
world consume coral calcium, and as a result, there are millions of medical
testimonials.
The phenomenon of preventing and reversing degenerative disease through
the consumption of large amounts of mineral and vitamins did not go un-noticed
by men of medicine. Hundreds of years ago European doctors were prescribing
coral calcium and other nutrients to their patients.
In the 1950s, Dr. Carl Reich M.D. discovered that his patients were able
to “cure themselves” of almost all degenerative diseases by consuming
several times the RDA of calcium, magnesium, vitamin-D and other nutrients.
Dr. Reich was the first North American doctor to prescribe “mega doses” of
minerals and vitamins to his patients and is considered by many to be the
father of preventive medicine. By the 1980s Dr. Reich had cured thousands,
but lost his license for explaining that the consumption of mineral nutrients,
such as calcium, could prevent cancer and a host of other diseases. This
concept was considered “too simple” to accept by the medical
wisdom of the day. However, by the late 1990s, other medical men of wisdom
were also discovering that calcium supplements could indeed reverse cancer.
In the October 13, 1998 issue of the New York Times wrote an article appeared
entitled “Calcium Takes Its Place As a Superstar of Nutrients” in
which it reports that a study published in the Journal of the American Medical
Association reported that “increasing calcium induced normal development
of the epithelia cells and might also prevent cancer in such organs as the
breast, prostate and pancreas”. It also reported that the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition published “virtually no major organ system
escapes calcium’s influence” and that a research team from the
University of Southern California found “adding calcium to the diet
lowered the blood pressure in 110 black teenagers”
The January 14, 1999 issue of the Phoenix Republic wrote an article about
cancer entitled “Calcium Reduces Tumors” that the New England
Journal of Medicine reported “adding calcium to the diet can keep you
from getting tumors in your large intestine”. Then the February, 1999
issue of the Readers Digest wrote in an article entitled “The ‘Superstar’ Nutrient” that
the Journal of the American Medical published “when the participants
consumption reached 1500 milligrams of calcium a day, cell growth in the
colon improved toward normal (this means that the cancer was reversed)”.
The Digest also reported that the Metabolic Bone Center at St. Lukes Hospital
believes that “a chronic deficiency of calcium is largely responsible
for premenstrual syndrome (PMS)” and that “a lot of women are
avoiding the sun and their vitamin-D levels may be very low”. In the
same article, the Digest reported that “in 1997 the large federally
financed trial found that a diet containing 1200 milligrams of calcium significantly
lowered blood pressure in adults”. Then the May 3, 1999 edition of
US World News Report wrote in an article entitled “Calcium’s
Powerful Mysterious Ways”, that, “Researchers are increasingly
finding that the humble mineral calcium plays a major role in warding off
major illnesses from high blood pressure to colon cancer” and that “You
name the disease, and calcium is beginning to have a place there” (David
McCarron, a nephrologist at Oregon Health Sciences University). Unfortunately,
most doctors have not heard the news that their own journals and major newspapers
and magazines are reporting that natural supplements, especially calcium,
can cure and prevent disease.
The scientific evidence that calcium is the key to good and long health
is overwhelming. One does not have to be a rocket scientist to read simple
articles in reputable newspapers, magazines and the doctor’s own journals
that are all saying that disease can be cured by diet. Also one can simply
look at the millions of people around the world that never get sick and say, “We
also want to drink some milk of the mountains”. Unfortunately, all
of the milk of the mountains is consumed as fast as it is produced. However,
the Japanese could cure the world with their “milk of the oceans” known
as coral calcium minerals, the calcium factor of good health.
The most frequent question asked the author is, “What do you do?” The
response always begins with, “I have not taken a pill in over 30 years.” Psychologically,
taking pills is synonymous with taking drugs. Also, many people have difficulty
swallowing pills. For most, many of the pills remain intact as they pass
through the intestine undigested. The obvious solution is to do what the
author does. First, the author puts all of the non-liquid nutrient pills
and capsules into a blender to make a pulverized blend. He then uses a flour
sifter to remove the broken up oversized capsule containers. The author takes
24 pills and capsules each day, and he has found that when pulverized, the
blend fills a heaping teaspoon. Thus the author pulverizes a three-month
portion and puts it into a large bottle labeled “Hunza Powder”,
and then takes a heaping spoonful each day. Secondly, the nutrient blend
should be taken at meal times, as for the elderly; this is the only time
that they have sufficient acid in their stomachs to digest food. Thirdly,
one glass of milk or one glass of apple juice should be taken with each meal
so that the lactates or malates will keep the digested nutrients ionized
even as they pass through the alkali duodenum, thereby allowing for greater
absorption. Also, the consumption of fruits and vegetables with meals provides
anions which enhance the absorption of nutrients.
The second most frequent question asked is, “Which are the 24 pills
that you take?” The answer is 3 coral calcium (1.5 grams), 2 vitamin-D
(5000 IU each), 6 multivitamins (one-a-day), 6 multi-minerals (containing
60 trace minerals), 3 calcium (citrate), 1 magnesium citrate, 2 vitamin-C
(60 mg each), 1 vitamin-E (500mg), and 10 milligrams cesium chloride. The
result is Hunza Powder. The author takes a heaping teaspoon each day, usually
mixed in a fruit slush or a banana shake.
Robert Barefoot, is the author of the books The Calcium Factor and Death
By Diet. These books are in their sixth edition, have been translated
into several
languages and are used by many in the nutrition industry as “ the bibles
of nutrition”. These books take scientific knowledge provided by some
of the world’s most renown scientists and tie it together into one cohesive
scientific argument that demonstrates that nutritional deficiency is not only
the cause of disease, but that by correcting the deficiency, disease can not
only be prevented , but also cured.
