Why the War on Cancer Has Failed and What That Means for More
Effective Prevention and Treatment A groundbreaking look at the
role of water in living organisms that ultimately brings us closer
to answering the riddle of the etiology of, and therapy and
treatment for, cancer When President Nixon launched the War on
Cancer with the signing of the National Cancer Act of 1971 and the
allocation of billions of research dollars, it was amidst a flurry
of promises that a cure was within reach. The research
establishment was trumpeting the discovery of oncogenes, the genes
that supposedly cause cancer. As soon as we identified them and
treated cancer patients accordingly, cancer would become a thing of
the past. Fifty years later it's clear that the War on Cancer has
failed-despite what the cancer industry wants us to believe. New
diagnoses have continued to climb; one in three people in the
United States can now expect to battle cancer during their
lifetime. For the majority of common cancers, the search for
oncogenes has not changed the treatment: We're still treating with
the same old triad of removing (surgery), burning out (radiation),
or poisoning (chemotherapy). In Cancer and the New Biology of
Water, Thomas Cowan, MD, argues that this failure was inevitable
because the oncogene theory is incorrect-or at least incomplete-and
based on a flawed concept of biology in which DNA controls our
cellular function and therefore our health. Instead, Dr. Cowan
tells us, the somatic mutations seen in cancer cells are the result
of a cellular deterioration that has little to do with oncogenes,
DNA, or even the nucleus. The root cause is metabolic dysfunction
that deteriorates the structured water that forms the basis of
cytoplasmic-and therefore, cellular-health. Despite mainstream
medicine's failure to bring an end to suffering or deliver on its
promises, it remains illegal for physicians to prescribe anything
other than the "standard of care" for their cancer patients-no
matter how dangerous and ineffective that standard may be-and
despite the fact that gentler, more effective, and more promising
treatments exist. While Dr. Cowan acknowledges that all of these
treatments need more research, Cancer and the New Biology of Water
is an impassioned plea from a long-time physician that these
promising treatments merit our attention and research dollars and
that patients have the right to information, options, and medical
freedom in matters of their own life and death.
Reflexology has become one of the most popular and accessible
alternative health therapies. It is based on the ancient principle
that each part of the body has a direct relationship to a point
that is massaged on the foot. Reflexology can be used to revitalise
energy, reduce stress, and to relax and heal the body. It can bring
relief from common problems such as headaches, insomnia, kidney
stones, high blood pressure, menstrual cramps and excess weight in
a relaxing, comfortable and easy-to-learn way. Contains over 250
easy-to-follow drawings; Provides clear descriptions of the reflex
points and basic techniques; Gives a reference list of common
ailments and the reflexology techniques to relieve them; Includes
special advice for those with stress, sports injuries, the elderly,
couples, children, women and those with addiction problems; Offers
a comprehensive guide to reflexology, and will be welcomed by
everyone who would like to learn how to use their hands for healing
Through Fear to Faith tracks the author's faith journey from
growing up years in a fundamentalist church, graduating from that
church's college and seminary, and then making the painful decision
to leave that church which had "saved" not only his drunken father,
but their dysfunctional family as well. Since success rates for so
called "geographical cures" aren't all that high, just becoming a
Methodist minister didn't satisfy all his heart's needs. Finding a
faith of his own - one that he could preach with integrity - took
years of struggle; struggle that led him to therapists' offices and
into Alcoholics' Anonymous meetings in church basements. Through
Fear to Faith is, largely, a paean to the church - its music, its
rituals, its traditions - and a promise that there is a faith to be
found, if, with all our hearts, we truly seek it.
One doctor's surprising answer to the epidemic of chronic disease
and essential reading for everyone concerned with the health of the
next generation ..[T]he further we move away from nature the sicker
we become, and it is our children who pay the heaviest price for
what modern civilization is doing to our environment and our
bodies. This book will make the reader think. I warmly recommend
it! Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD, author of Gut and Psychology
Syndrome Over the past fifty years, rates of autoimmunity and
chronic disease have exploded. While some attribute this rise to
increased awareness and diagnosis, Thomas Cowan, MD, argues for a
direct causal relationship to a corresponding increase in the
number of vaccines children typically receive. Dr. Cowan looks at
emerging evidence that certain childhood illnesses are actually
protective of disease later in life; examines the role of fever,
the gut and cellular fluid in immune health; argues that
vaccination is an ineffective (and harmful) attempt to shortcut a
complex immune response; and asserts that the medical establishment
has engaged in an authoritarian argument that robs parents of
informed consent. His ultimate question, from the point of view of
a doctor who has decades of experience treating countless children
is: What are we really doing to children when we vaccinate them?
Dr. Cowan intelligently educates us on the complicated and
beautiful workings of our immune system, clearly explains how and
why its malfunction is harming us, and elucidates why our precious
children are so vulnerable to these diseases. Lindy Woodard, MD,
