First answer this question:

Do you have a parasite?

'No' is not an option. Think again.

Ever taken antibiotics, eaten sushi, kissed a stranger, eaten tropical fruit, been to South East Asia or an African country? And that's just the start.

Parasites could include one of four possible inhabitants:

All can steal your nourishment, especially essential B vitamins; all can weaken your immune system; all can produce toxins that can poison your cells.

Let's look at these in some detail.

1: Viruses

A man called Royal Rife invented a high-powered microscope in the US in the 1920's. It could 'see' live tissue. He believed there was a virus or bacteria at the heart of every cancer. He even identified 40 of these 'agents' and infected mice with some of them, actually causing cancer.

He then set about determining the frequency of each 'agent' and developed a resonance machine to kill them.

At this point the medical authorities stepped in, banned his work, wrecked his clinic/factory and he died thirty or so years later a broken man.

In the 1970's various teams of scientists tried to discover if cancer was caused by viruses but did not have sophisticated enough technology to gain conclusive evidence. They failed (and would, of course, not use a Rife microscope).

About six or so blood cancers are now known to be caused by viruses

In very recent times techniques have improved. About six or so blood cancers are now known to be caused by viruses. Human Papilloma Virus (HPV - a sexually transmitted disease) is known to cause cervical cancer.

Some (maybe 1-2 per cent) of breast cancers have been linked to the shingles virus. It is possible that some prostate cancers are linked to the cold sore (herpes) virus.

The greatest debate is saved for the Simian Monkey Virus. Recent Japanese research has shown it present in higher than expected levels in certain cancer patients. Is it actually the cause, or is it merely an immune system weakener, or is it coincidence? Nothing proven yet.

Where may we have got Simian Monkey Virus from? Well when they first made Salk polio vaccines in the USA, they infected Simian monkeys, then extracted the antibodies to make the vaccine. Unfortunately they didn't realise the monkey had a virus and by the time they did, over 1 million Americans had been given the polio vaccine, complete with added virus.

Who knows?

What is for sure is that over the coming years you will hear more and more about the possibility of many, if not all, cancers being caused by viruses.

The cynics will say, 'Well, that's because the pharmaceutical companies can make lots of profit by vaccinating us all.' It certainly added fuel to the argument when Merck, Sharp & Dohme and Glaxo decided to merge their HPV vaccine thus reducing possible price competition. The next step is to vaccinate all our daughters before their first sexual encounter.

2: Bacteria

We may have heard of HPV, but we are less likely to have heard of Chlamydia another sexually transmitted disease, this time a bacterium and its linked to some ovarian cancers. Why not?

We have neither the vaccine nor the cure.

Possibly the nastiest cancer-linked bacterium is Helicobacter Pylori. For six or more years this has been known to cause stomach ulcers. And for about four years there have been repeated studies linking it with stomach cancer.

This little 'b' hides in the mucus in the stomach, so your stomach acid cannot kill it off. Sitting next to the stomach lining, the body sends white cells down to sort it out. However, they are on the other side of the stomach wall. Result? An un-winnable fight ensues, producing great inflammation, stomach ulcers and even stomach cancer.

We have neither the vaccine nor the cure

All this should be known to oncologists. Sadly it isn't. When I was in Australia, a South African girl, 32, approached me with husband in tow. Both university lecturers, but not in science. She said she'd developed a stomach ulcer and then it turned to cancer. All this while I was at a black-tie 'do' eating my dinner!

In an attempt to eat at least some of it while it was still hot, I simply said, 'look why don't you go back to the doctor and say all the information points to Helicobacter Pylori. A course of drugs, or goldenseal and bismuth would probably kill it off, but go to your doctor and he'll fix it'.

To which she said, 'I can't. He took my stomach out last year'. No one at anytime had mentioned even the slightest possibility of Helicobacter Pylori.

3: Yeasts, Microbes and Fungi

We have covered this issue extensively in other articles.

The good guys are your first line of defence in your immune system

Suffice it to say that every night your friendly bacteria in your gut feed off all the nasty yeast, microbes and fungi you manage to consume during the day. The good guys are your first line of defence in your immune system.

However. Too much chlorine in your tap water, take a course of antibiotics, radio- or chemotherapy or some other drugs and wave goodbye to the good guys.

Recent research in the USA concluded that women who had taken 25 or more doses of antibiotics in their lifetime had twice the risk of breast cancer. Scientists are now looking at how antibiotics might affect the breast tissue.

Ask any complementary expert and they will tell you in seconds. The process is already known; and the antibiotics do not affect the breast tissue.

There is a school of thought that some cancers, not every cancer, may occur as follows:

If your good guys are missing in your gut, the bad guys thrive, dividing rapidly. They have roots which can go across the gut wall, they can make holes, they can cause leaky gut syndrome.

Some microbes may escape into the blood system from where they can move round to colonise areas of normal body tissue, for example, breast tissue.

Yeasts are anaerobes – they don't use oxygen to live or produce their energy

Yeasts are anaerobes – they don't use oxygen to live or produce their energy. If they surround healthy tissue you might expect those cells in the absence of oxygen to die off. But your cells are much too clever for that. They merely switch to producing their energy in the absence of oxygen. And that's called a cancer cell.

Gerald Green, an expert in this field, has very strong views about yeasts as a likely cause of cancer.

4: Parasites

We all seem to assume that parasites have to be at least three feet long. Of course tapeworms are, but these are reasonably rare in the West. Nematodes are not though, especially amongst children.

In Ohio, 82 per cent of the population receive a microscopic parasite in their water system; they've become immune to chlorine.

In British Livestock, liver fluke have quadrupled since 1997; they're making a comeback.

Dr Hulda Clark in the USA believes everyone has a parasite; we are obviating the need for a second host by the chemicals and toxins that are on the increase in our bodies. She believes some can actually replicate the conditions prevalent in that second host, but in ourselves.

Possible Action

The best and simplest solution is to visit a good homeopath with a VEGA machine

Whilst there are a number of drugs that can tackle bacteria; the options with viruses are more limited. The best and simplest solution, if you feel you may have any one of the four categories of parasite, is to visit a good homeopath, with a VEGA machine (or a BEST machine).

They should be able to tell you if you have such a guest and, if it's a virus, provide nosodes to improve your defences.

Identification of a bacterium or a virus should see you also visit your doctor.

Yeast rarely worries people in the countries where you'd expect their presence, hot countries like Asia, India, South America. This is because the indigenous population are less likely to have taken antibiotics (prescribed, or hidden in foods), and far more likely to be regular eaters of natural defenders like garlic, Neem (in India), caprylic acid (coconut), Pau D'Arco (a tree bark form South America), nutmeg and cinnamon (both of which kill yeasts in the blood stream).

The fact that yeasts do cause some cancers is borne out by examples such as the American nurse whose leukaemia and liver cancer was cured by anti-yeast drugs (carried in icon in 2003); a number of miraculous cures of cancer attributable to vitamin C were in fact simply due to the neutralising effects of vitamin C on aflatoxins, the dangerous carcinogen waste products of some parasites; the anti-cancer claims originally made for Pau D'Arco turned out to be actually due to its anti-yeast, anti-bacterial and anti-viral strengths!

An anti-yeast programme also advocates the use of acidophilus and wormwood, and a sugar-free, alcohol-free, dairy-free diet.

In the treatment of parasites Neways make a useful parasite purge called 'Parafree'. Again this might be best topped up with wormwood.

They could be the inexpensive future treatment for viruses, bacteria, yeasts and all forms of parasite

Finally life is coming full circle. 'Zappers', mechanical devices that can be set to a frequency to kill a parasite, yeast or bacterium are slowly but surely making a comeback. Russia is one place pioneering the work, but Dr Hulda Clark has been promoting them too. Ultrasound is now being used in the treatment of solid tumours by hospitals and clinics in Europe.

They could be the inexpensive future treatment for viruses, bacteria, yeasts and all forms of parasite. Who knows?

Cancer Research Announce Focus On Vaccines

Vaccines against specific viruses could prevent one in tencases of cancer in the UK, according to a report launchedon March 13th 2006 by Cancer Research UK.

Professor Alan Rickinson, from the Cancer Research UK Institute at the University of Birmingham and lead author of the report, said: "Studying the association between infectious agents and human cancers is extremely important because, in such cases, infection represents one defined link in the chain of events leading to cancer development".

The authors of the report stress that people cannot "catch" cancer. But some viruses can initiate the diseasein a small proportion of those infected. Almost all kinds of cancer develop through a series of genetic accidents. When the accidents accumulate, a cell can become cancerous. For some sorts of cancer one of these genetic accidents is linked to infection.

The report adds that cancers linked to infection with particular viruses include cancers of the cervix, liver and nasal passages (nasopharyngeal carcinoma) as well as certain types of lymphomas including some Hodgkin's lymphomas and rare forms of leukaemia. Many cases of stomach cancer are also linked to a common bacterial infection.

For example, a vaccine has been developed for the Hepatitis B virus, which is linked to liver cancer. There are 340,000 cases of primary liver cancer worldwide - half of which are linked to the Hepatitis B virus. There are 2,784 cases of this cancer in the UK each year but a much lower percentage of these is linked to the virus.

In the same week comes news that Cervarix has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency for licensing by GlaxoSmithKline. The company has not set a price but analysts think a dose could be £60 with a personn eeding three doses in total. Rival Merck is hoping to launch Gardasil, also in about 9 months time. Both claim to kill two particular strains of Human Papilloma Virus(HPV), which account for about 70% of cervical cancers (strains 16 and 18). GSK claim their vaccine works faster, produces a greater immune response and works on several other strains (31,45,52) taking total protection to the 80% level. Merck claim theirs also tackles two other strains, which cause genital warts. Cervarix is likely to add $1.6 billion to worldwide GSK sales each year.
