A Simple Guide to a Divinely Inspired Life

By Christiane Northrup, M.D.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  Read it from cover to cover.  Dr. Northrup combines her own personal stories with those of patients that have been presented with an obstacle in their lives that make them have to stop and look at themselves, reassess and create a plan of action for change and going forward.  All of these changes are related to how the brain and the body interact.   All of these things are affected by the environment, diet and one’s belief systems which create the sense of well-being on all levels–Mind, Body & Soul.

Here is what the publisher has to say about this book:

You know Dr. Christiane Northrup as the best-selling author of books such as Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause—a beloved and trusted expert on everything that can go right with the female body. Now she brings her wisdom and insight to illuminate the mind, soul, and spirit as well.

In this joyfully encouraging new book—as useful for men as it is for women—Dr. Northrup explores the essential truth that has guided her ever since medical school: our bodies, minds, and souls are profoundly intertwined. Making life flow with ease, and truly feeling your best, is about far more than physical health; it’s also about having a healthy emotional life and a robust spiritual life. When you view your physical well-being in isolation, life can become a constant battle to make your body “behave.” When you acknowledge the deep connection between your beliefs and your biology and start to tune in to the Divine part of yourself, it’s a whole new ballgame—and the first step in truly making your life easy.

Take charge of your well-being as you learn to:

• Untie the knots of blame and guilt that harm your health
• Use sexual energy consciously to increase vitality
• Balance your microbiome through healthy eating
• Cultivate a healthy ego that serves you (not vice versa)
• Communicate directly with the Divine
• And much more

Drawing on fields from epigenetics to past-life regression to standard Western medicine, Dr. Northrup distills a brilliant career’s worth of wisdom into one comprehensive user’s guide to a healthy, happy, radiant life.

The following is an article found on the website — Self Help Nirvana — outlining the various ways to test blood oxygen levels, what they mean and how to get more oxygen into your blood stream.  

The Bohr Effect — The Secret to Increasing More OXYGEN in Your Cells 

April 23, 2023 – The Bohr effect is our body's clever mechanism for ensuring oxygen gets offloaded precisely where it's needed most. It’s based on this simple yet vital principle: when CO2 levels rise, hemoglobin changes shape slightly, which lets go of its bound oxygen.  Increasing oxygen in your cells could potentially help with various conditions, from anxiety to respiratory problems.  Learn how to do it!

Poor breathing can decrease oxygen levels and even change your body's pH. Learn a simple breathing technique that can increase blood oxygen levels.   Watch this demonstration now!

Note, that low oxygen levels is related to metabolic disease and onset diabetes, chronic illness and cancer.

I was watching a recent Joe Rogan podcast where he was interviewing a person who had a background in pharmaceuticals, nutrition, diet, obesity, diabetes and food.  There was a segment in the talk where they discussed metabolic disease and its relationship to cancer and early onset diabetes in young adults.  This sparked my curiosity and once again I went down that rabbit hole of research and investigation into — what is metabolic disease? — how is metabolic disease related to cancer and other chronic illness?  The following are links to some of my findings?

Warburg effect — Oncology

In oncology, the Warburg effect is the observation that most cancer use aerobic glycolysis for energy generation rather than the mechanisms used by non-cancerous cells. This observation was first published by Otto Heinrich Warburg, who was awarded the 1931 Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme". Wikipedia

Think cancer is unbeatable? Think again. Meet Professor Thomas Seyfried, the biologist who's rewriting the rules with groundbreaking metabolic therapies. With a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois and postdoctoral research at Yale, Professor Seyfried is leading a revolution in how we fight diseases like cancer and epilepsy through diets like keto. At Boston College, he’s not just teaching— he’s challenging everything we thought we knew about these diseases. Author of 'Cancer as a Metabolic Disease,' his work is flipping the script on conventional medicine. Ready to uncover the truth about beating cancer? Watch now!

You can watch Dr. Thomas Seyfried's full interview for free by signing up here: https://mailchi.mp/metabolichealthsum... Dr. Thomas Seyfried is a Cancer Biology Researcher, Boston College Professor, and Author of the book "Cancer as a Metabolic Disease." In this clip, Dr. Seyfried walks us through the history of cancer as a metabolic disease. The story began in the early 1990s when a scientist named Otto Warburg defined the nature of cancer as a disease of mitochondrial function and energy metabolism. Dr. Seyfried and colleagues expanded on this concept by discovering that cancer cells could also thrive by using the amino acid glutamine as fuel, an important missing link in Warburg's central argument, according to Dr. Seyfried. In the full video, Dr. Seyfried eloquently explains how we think that ketogenic metabolic therapies work in cancer, including how they are being studied for the potential ability to sensitize cancer cells to the standard of care treatments. He also describes the complementary role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and ketogenic therapies in cancer treatment research. Lastly, Dr. Seyfried describes the experiments that support Warburg's concept, and his evolving understanding of this complex disease. He also discusses the history of cancer as a genetic disease, why he introduced the "Glucose-Ketone Index" as a novel potential tool to monitor ketogenic treatments, and so much more.  Watch now!

Fix Your Immune System, Fix Your Body – The Definitive Guide to UBI: Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation

By Tom Lowe

An excellent introduction to this very new and controversial alternative therapy use to combat numerous chronic illnesses including some cancers.  This book answered many questions, gave examples, drawings, charts, and diagrams with back up documentation, research and case studies on UBI.

The following is an excerpt from the book, chapter twenty-one, page 253:

“UBI is easy to consider as front-line therapy for many disorders.  Many people use UBI as part of a cancer therapy.  My contention is that it is not a primary cancer therapy but adjuvant.  It can stimulate the immune system.  It can cut some inflammation, and it can cause oxygen uptake to increase.  These are all good things.”

Here is what the publisher says about this book:

Discover the benefits of “Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation” Over 700,000 successful therapies, 200 medical studies and over 90 years of history show safety and efficacy for this IV therapy.

Patients with Lyme, cancer, tachycardia, viral infections, incurable rashes, shingles, asthma, pain, Multiple Sclerosis, even brain disorders saw their body healing in a matter of a few sessions.

Dubbed the “Cure that Time Forgot” UBI (ultraviolet Blood Irradiation) has made a remarkable comeback in the last 15 years. The simple IV therapy can be completed in 40 minutes getting at the root cause as it is paramount to healing.

This book will give you not only the interesting background and heroes of the past but also it goes into detail regarding the rarely understood biochemistry and mechanics of this light immune system modulator. The final chapters take the studies that give support to cures of a myriad of disorders. It is all neatly and concisely presented so a doctor or patient can glean its gems and find how it will work on their particular condition.

Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins

By Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD

This is a very interesting read.  Definitely for someone that is well versed in medical terms and interested in medical research.  Full of documentation to back up the attributes of Vitamin C therapy for a multitude of chronic illnesses including cancer.  The following is an excerpt from the book, chapter three, page 217.

“Vitamin C has demonstrated the ability to neutralize a wide variety of toxic substances, many of which are completely unrelated chemically with a given toxin to render it less toxic or nontoxic. … In Chapter 2 it has already been demonstrated that vitamin C is superbly effective in either neutralizing or negating the effects of a number of chemically different and extremely potent endotoxins and exotoxins, which are produced as by-products of microbial growth.”

What the publisher says about this book:

Several years ago the author, cardiologist Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD was asked to assist Hal Huggins, DDS, with a number of Dr.  Huggins' dental patients. Each of the patients was quite ill and obviously suffering with one or more very serious medical conditions. Prior to sedating each patient Dr. Huggins asked Dr. Levy to administer a specific protocol of vitamin C.

Dr. Levy had never performed or even heard of such a practice, but was greatly impressed as each patient left the dental office markedly improved -- many were asymptomatic. As a result, his interest in vitamin  C was greatly aroused and he began a search through all the medical literature for any studies concerning this vitamin therapy and the miraculous results he had witnessed time and time again.

He quickly found the medical journals were filled with thousands of studies and articles about vitamin  C. Many of them reported similarly dramatic results with a myriad of diseases and other difficult medical conditions. Dr. Levy knew that this was information that all his colleagues needed. Consequently, he was compelled to spend the next four years researching and writing Curing the Incurable. Because this book was written especially for his medical colleagues, Dr.  Levy has taken great care to research, document, and report the vital truths about vitamin C -- he cites over 1,200 scientific references.

Curing the Incurable provides the information you need to most effectively use vitamin C to:

• Prevent, cure, reverse and/or greatly improve a massive list of health conditions.
• Cut your mortality risk (from all causes) by as much as 50%.
• Boost your immune system and energy levels to optimum levels.
• Optimize blood and intracellular levels of vitamin C.
• Dramatically increase bio-availability (up to 800% or more) without increasing your dose size.
• Avoid gastric discomfort, the diarrhea, and increased urination that prove most of your large doses of vitamin C are headed for the sewer.
• And much, much more.

Dr. Nasha Winters – We Will Not Find The Cure For Cancer As Long As We Continue To Wage War Against It

It was an honor to have Dr. Natasha Winters on the show. She came highly recommended by our former guest Alison Gannett whose body is right now healing from brain cancer.

Dr. Winters is the author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer: Integrating Deep Nutrition, the Ketogenic Diet, and Nontoxic Bio-Individualized Therapies

If you haven’t had a chance to hear that show I’ll put it in the show notes below. It’s really good and her story is eye opening.

In that show Alison really sung the praises of Dr. Natasha Winters who has helped turn her life around with regards to the brain cancer her body has.

I pose the question in the title of this podcast, can we find the cure for cancer if we constantly are “fighting” it. I even see shirts now that say Fu#$ Cancer.

Dr. Winters in my humble opinion (after listening to thousands of hours of alternative health lectures, watching videos, attending seminars, reading books, reading articles and interviewing 500 people myself) that her approach to cancer is one of the best I’ve seen.

I’ve been in this field since 2003 and have consumed everything I could get my hands on and Dr. Winters really does seem to tackle all the angles when it comes to cancer.

It’s not enough to focus on the emotional spiritual and still eat a diet that doesn’t support healing. It’s also not enough to completely neglect the role of emotional and spiritual issues while only focusing on the physical.

All parts play a role in my opinion. It takes grit to deal with emotional, spiritual, physical and mental issues when you want your body to heal.

I watched many videos of hers before the show to prep but the one below was the one I found most touching and inspiring.

Make sure to check it out.

What You Need to Know About Cancer's History, Treatment and Prevention

By Ty M. Bollinger

This is a fantastic book that reveals not just the truth about the disease known as cancer, but also the medical treatments and systems both conventional and alternative.  I wish I had read this book at the beginning of my cancer journey instead of here in the middle.  Needless to say, it is helping me to open up to so many alternatives and has prompted me to do my own investigations. 

I highly recommend this book to anyone whether you are beginning your journey with cancer or are deep into it, and if you are someone that has a loved one, friend or family member that is battling cancer.

“In this groundbreaking book, Ty Bollinger sheds light on the plethora of natural ways to promote immunity, fuel the body, and stifle cancer.  Read this book.  It might just save your life.” – Dr. Josh Axe, author of Eat Dirt

Ty Bollinger reveals the following in this book:

• The politics of cancer research and treatment
• The takeover of medical education by special interests with for-profit agendas
• How some life-saving treatments have been kept from the public–and why
• Tests that even your doctor may not know to order– and how to get them
• How to detox, nutrition, and herbal remedies
• Enzyme and metabolic/mitochondrial therapies
• Bio-oxidative therapies
• Healing with sound, light, and electricity
• Includes real stores of real people who’ve used these protocols to heal

Notes from the publisher:

Cancer touches more lives than you may think. According to the World Health Organization, one out of three women alive today, and one out of two men, will face a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. Ty Bollinger, this isn’t just a statistic. It’s personal. After losing seven members of his family to cancer over the course of a decade, Ty set out on a global quest to learn as much as he possibly could about cancer treatments and the medical industry that surrounds the disease. He has written this book to share what he’s uncovered—some of which may shock you—and to give you new resources for coping with cancer in your life or the life of someone you love.

 Ty explains; there are many methods we can access to treat and prevent cancer that go well beyond chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery; we just don’t know about them. The Truth about Cancer delves into the history of medicine—all the way back to Hippocrates’s credo of "do no harm"—as well as cutting-edge research showing the efficacy of dozens of unconventional cancer treatments that are helping patients around the globe.

You’ll read about the politics of cancer; facts and myths about its causes (a family history is only part of the picture); and the range of tools available to diagnose and treat it.  If you’re facing a cancer diagnosis right now, this book may help you and your health-care provider make choices about your next steps. If you’re already undergoing conventional treatment, it may help you support your health during the course of chemo or radiation.

If you’re a health-care provider and want to learn all you can to help your patients, it will expand your horizons and inspire you with true stories of successful healing. And if you just want to see cancer in a new light, it will open your eyes.
