Cancer 2

Cancer (6/3/2002)

Cecile Riviere-Duncan - Terrigal, N.S.W., AUSTRALIA
Before Herbalife, I was not very healthy nor was I very happy. I had CANCER - stage II Carcinoma of the left breast, diagnosed in 1984. I had an excision and axillary clearance. Twenty one (21 out of thirty three (33)axillary lymph nodes removed, contained Metastatic disease. I was given Adjuvant Chemotherapy as well as local Irradiation to the area. A bone scan revealed some increased uptake in the left tibia and in the head of the femur, but later X-rays of these areas were unremarkable. In 1985 in the lung, a left upper lobe occlusion was noted. A fine needle aspiration was done and no malignant disease was found.
After all this, my G.P. cold-heartedly told my mother that I had only six(6) months to live; although Professor Tattersalls had said I had 25% chance to live, I did not, at that time, limit myself to this ‘SENTENCE”.
To all cancer patients - remember: CANCER IS ONLY A WORD, NOT A SENTENCE. It is amazing what POSITIVE ATTITUDE, FAITH AND PRAYER, GOOD DIET (and perhaps I should mention a good doctor to look after you regularly) can do to help one hang in there till the right thing comes along.
When I was introduced to Herbalife Nutritional Programme, it was a Godsend. I looked at it seriously and purely as a nutritional back-up. The Cancer and the treatment had left me anemic and feeling very weak. My doctor used to give me two (2) injections a week, each of four (4) different vitamins which she called a ‘COCKTAIL”, to try to build me up. It was a continuous fight to keep my blood count up. At that stage my doctor was worried that I could have the Cancer back at anytime, and anywhere and so was I.
After three (3) months of using the products I had lost thirteen (13)kilos [~28.6 pounds...editor] which I had gained during the period that followed my convalescence; this was a bonus - what was more important to me was my health. THE MICRO-NUTRIENTS IN THE PROGRAMME gave me a new lease of life. I regained my energy, I had no more pins and needles at the tips of my fingers and my whole health improved. The obvious improvement in my general health prompted my doctor to look into these products. She was rather skeptical until she could no longer deny the health benefits I was experiencing. The doctor used the products herself and helped several of her patients to control their weight and to obtain better health results.
For me it has been a journey to good health. It is very important to keep my immunity level at its best. Nutrition is the key to good health and the concept of Cellular Nutrition, along with a proper diet and healthy lifestyle, provides our body with the nutrients we need daily in balance. This is my Health Insurance.
Now with DERMAJETICS it is helping me look as good as I feel. Being a product of the products, I help many people achieve good health and look good. Investing Life into Life -- Isn't this what life is all about!!
THANKS Mark Hughes for giving us HERBALIFE!!!!!

Cancer, Manic-depression, Hiatus Hernia

Jim Simpson 
Kelowna, B.C.
Hi, my name is Jim Simpson. I am over fifty years old but feel and look much younger now than I did a few years ago.
In 1990 I was an old man with cancer, gall bladder disease, low blood sugar, hiatus hernia, constant indigestion, manic depression, and I had trouble sleeping.
Things only got worse when I submitted to radiation for my cancer. I began to have constant diarrhoea, which lasted for a year and a half - all day, everyday!
In July of 1992 I began to use Cellular Nutrition, Florafiber and Herbal Aloe drink.
In three days the diarrhoea disappeared and has not bothered me since. I no longer use antacids of any kind, no more sugar, and no more manic depression. I require much less sleep, have more energy than when I was thirty, and I now weigh 36 lbs less than I did in the summer of 92!!! THANK YOU HERBALIFE FOR GIVING ME MY LIFE BACK!
I am now busy as a Herbalife Independent Distributor, helping Mark Hughes take better health and nutrition around the world!
I am also creating a substantial income for my family and others by sharing the Herbalife opportunity with all who will listen to my story!
Sincerely,
Jim Simpson

After Bowel Cancer

Before Herbalife I had survived bowel cancer but was left with a legacy of not quite full control of the business end of the body. This meant always wearing liners in case of leakages etc and also having to swallow horrible glue-like fibre stuff morning and night to keep the colon working OK.
I had to refrain from consuming certain food and drink as it gave a bad reaction to the system - but hey! I was grateful for life and accepted this.
Within 2 days of being on the products my body's machinery was working like it used to before the cancer drama and I soon found I no longer had to wear protective liners.
A bonus was losing fat around the midriff and to me the best part was I could enjoy a dark ale with my mates on a Friday night with no repercussions!!!!
I take Formulas 1, 2, 3, Chitosan, Florafibre, NRG and Aloe concentrate (very helpful for the colon I believe).
I also love the Thermojetics Herbal beverage.
I will now never be without the Herbalife products and really look forward to sharing the benefits with all I meet.

MY HERBALIFE / CANCER RECOVERY STORY (4/22/2005)

MY HERBALIFE / CANCER RECOVERY STORY
Chris Robinson
On April 6, 2005 I was informed that my B-Cell Lymphoma was gone... that's G-O-N-E!!! My doctor had me at stage 4, which is the worse, and only gave me a 30% chance of recovery. This was my second fight and win with cancer. This time I had Herbalife as a helper, thank God!
It took me 3 1/2 years to beat T-cell Lymphoma 31 years ago. It's only taken me 21 weeks (approximately 4 months) to beat this one. I do believe I owe a large part of my recovery to a cancer fighting diet ('CANCER, Fight it with the Blood Type Diet' by, Dr. Peter J.D'Adamo), which was 75% organic fruits and veggies, and the remainder protein mainly wild caught fish and organic chicken, and beef on rare occasions. No fat, no dairy (I learned to love soy cheeses and other soy products), no sugar or artificial sweeteners (the liver does not know how to metabolize these. I use Stevia). This diet also included ginger tea, ginger and garlic were used in cooking as much as possible.
I continued my use of Herbalife products against doctors orders, because I felt that I needed the nutritional benefits of them and their antioxidant effects. I just feel so convinced and passionate about the fact that I most likely would not have recovered had it not been for these products and my dietary changes. I had at least one, sometimes two, nutritional packed protein shakes a day made with skim milk, with active fiber powder in each (to combat the constipating effects of the pain medications). I also took 6 cell activators (for maximum absorption of nutrients), 4 multivitamins, Echinacea when needed, 2 Mega Garlic, 1,000 mgs. Calcium, Rose Ox and Shizandra to enhance my immune system, 2 packs of Garden 7 , and 2 Joint Support per day for bone and joint health. I truly feel that the cell-activators played a large part in my body’s ability to metabolize all of the other supplements. The doctor had me on 1 tablet of Coumadin per day. Instead of using more coumadin I took 6 Herbalifeline per day, to keep my blood thin so my port wouldn’t clog. I have enlightened my doctor to the beneficial qualities of Herbalifeline and all Herbalife products relative to creating a strong nutritional foundation to enable the body to fight cancer. Remember, all these products were taken against doctor’s orders (she said there had not been enough “research” done in the use of vitamin and herbal supplements in cancer treatment), but look where I am today!!!
I also took Vit C 1,000 mgs/day, Acidophilus 2 per day, Spirulina 1,000 mg’s/day, Carlson Aces Gold (Vitamin’s A,C,E, and Selenium plus other antioxidants which fight off free radicals), and Helix Pomatia (snails) 6 per day. According to my research I feel that Helix Pomatia is one of THE most beneficial cancer fighting supplements. It attaches itself to the cancer cells (tags these cells) and promotes easier identification for the chemotherapy drugs.
My cancer was in my breast, surrounding arm and leg bones, all through the liver and in lymph glands throughout my entire body. After only four months of treatments my PET scan shows NO cancer. What makes my story even more incredible is the fact that my brother passed away on the same day that I received my first chemotherapy, five months after receiving the same diagnosis. Unfortunately he was not open to any alternative treatments. Please feel free to contact me for further information.
THANK GOD FOR HERBALIFE!

Diabetes Type II

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Diabetes is caused by a problem in the way your body makes or uses insulin. Insulin is needed to move blood sugar (glucose) into cells, where it is stored and later used for energy.
When you have type 2 diabetes, your fat, liver, and muscle cells do not respond correctly to insulin. This is called insulin resistance. As a result, blood sugar does not get into these cells to be stored for energy.
When sugar cannot enter cells, high levels of sugar build up in the blood. This is called hyperglycemia.
Type 2 diabetes usually occurs slowly over time. Most people with the disease are overweight when they are diagnosed. Increased fat makes it harder for your body to use insulin the correct way.
Type 2 diabetes can also develop in people who are thin. This is more common in the elderly.
Family history and genes play a large role in type 2 diabetes. Low activity level, poor diet, and excess body weight around the waist increase your risk. See also: Type 2 diabetes for a list of risk factors.

Symptoms

Often, people with type 2 diabetes have no symptoms at first. They may not have symptoms for many years.
The early symptoms of diabetes may include:

• Bladder, kidney, skin, or other infections that are more frequent or heal slowly
• Fatigue
• Hunger
• Increased thirst
• Increased urination

The first symptom may also be:

• Blurred vision
• Erectile dysfunction
• Pain or numbness in the feet or hands

Let Foods be Our Medicine and NOT Medicine be Our FOODS

Let Food Be Your Medicine and Medicine Be Your Food
by author Siegfried Gursche, MH

Isn’t it absurd that we call the modalities of natural healing "alternative medicine"? Obviously, "alternative" refers to something other than the accepted or the standard. The opposite to "alternative medicine" is what we now call orthodox or allopathic medicine, which then makes it the standard.

This really irks me. For 2,200 years until 1805, medicine was practised exclusively according to the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates (460-377 BC), the founding father of natural medicine. He taught that the first and foremost principle of medicine must be to respect nature’s healing forces, which inhabit each living organism. Hippocrates considered illness a natural phenomenon that forced people to discover the imbalances in their health. He strongly believed in good food and related the course of any ailment to poor nutrition and bad eating habits. He stressed, "Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food"–advice that, to this day, has not lost its validity.

I mention the year 1805 because in that year in the small town of Einbeck, where I went to school and enrolled in my apprenticeship, German pharmacist Friedrich Wilhelm Sertürner (1783-1841) discovered morphine, named after Morpheus, the god of dreams. Morphine is the bitter, white crystalline found in opium, the milky sap of the unripe poppy. This was the first time, and a significant moment in pharmaceutical history, that a single potent ingredient, an alkaloid, was isolated.

Sertürner was celebrated "freeman of the city," and to this day his pharmacy and discovery are subjects of school projects for students of Einbeck. Hence, the awakening of my desire to become a pharmacist, which, however, never materialized due to unfavorable circumstances during the war and thereafter. Instead, I chose natural health as my profession and my passion.

Ever since morphine was isolated, pharmacists and scientists all over the world turned their backs on the natural healing effects of the synergistic complex of herbs, instead concentrating on finding that magical single ingredient hidden within the plant.

Out of this initial success of isolating single active agents grew today’s mighty phytochemical and chemo-therapeutical industry. Scientists found it easier to work with chemicals, and inherent side-effects of administering single substances were ignored or downplayed. With its financial power, the pharmaceutical industry soon gained control over modern medicine. The use of drugs in treating ailments is taught at universities, and doctors must adhere to this doctrine once in practice. It is actually a crime for them to prescribe natural substances such as herbs or vitamins.

If they do, the College of Physicians and Surgeons will accuse them of unprofessional conduct and cancel their licences.

Meanwhile, we are observing a renaissance, a revival of herbal medicine. Scientists are discovering that not only herbs, but also foods contain synergistic groups of ingredients that provide medicinal benefit. These groups are referred to as "secondary ingredients" because previously we believed they were of lesser value. Their action couldn’t be explained, though considered to be important. These ingredients include, among many others, carotenoids, flavonoids, phenols, estrogens and enzyme inhibitors. The Europeans have coined a fancy name for them, phytochemicals, which means "plant-based."

Almost daily we hear of new miraculous benefits of one of those phytochemicals discovered in herbs and food. Pigments or colouring agents are now known to be of benefit in the treatment of cancer, especially lycopene from tomatoes and beets. Now we truly can relate to what Hippocrates proclaimed: Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.

Cellular Nutrition, WHY?

Is poor cellular nutrition the true cause of degenerative diseases?

What is the secret to cellular health?

Cellular Nutrition: When we think of health and nutrition, few of us imagine the cell. But actually, the cell is the source of the body’s energy supply; it’s what keeps you not only functioning at optimal health, but functioning at all.
In fact, as soon as the cells lose any of their capacity to produce energy for the body, the result is a decline in health and the emergence of degenerative conditions.
Healthy cell life produces what we call “vitality” – a healthy level of energy and resistance to stress.
But how do we make sure our cells are working at full pump on the energy front? Fortunately, it’s not as hard as it sounds, because scientific research shows that good nutrition is the key.
Cells and energy

To understand how eating a particular diet can affect your cells, and therefore your energy levels, it’s useful to have a rough idea of how the cells actually work: how the cell produces its energy.
That particular task falls to the mitochondria, the "power plants" of the cell. There are hundreds of these in a typical cell, every one containing a unique pattern of DNA, and their job is to facilitate cellular respiration, a process through which they transform oxygen and nutrients into energy and water.
The many finger-like folds in the mitochondrial inner membrane house respiratory chains where this process happens.
The "bad" side of oxygen
So far, so good. Except that unfortunately, oxygen is actually toxic to biological molecules and cells. That means that all processes involving oxygen, including the oxygen used in cellular respiration, leads to the formation of free radicals.
It’s just a consequence of normal metabolism. The bad news is that these free radicals tend to oxidize biological molecules, just as iron oxidizes when it rusts. Eventually, this assault on the cells can damage them, and inactivate the cellular respiration, leading to the death of the cell.

The body’s response to all this is to unleash a grand defense mechanism, using antioxidant molecules (good guys) against the free radicals (bad guys).
It doesn’t always get the response right, however, or it can’t produce enough antioxidants for the task. The result is that free radicals ravage the body’s proteins, fats, and DNA/RNA. The body also removes and repairs some damaged macromolecules, but often the sheer volume of free radicals overwhelms the repair system.
Oxidative stress

In 1956, Professor Denham Harman propounded the famous "free radical theory of ageing." The theory holds that as we age and the oxidative damage the body has sustained over the years takes its toll, the level of oxidative stress itself rises.
That means that oxidative damage increases over the course of a lifetime and advances especially quickly in old age. At that point, we tend to see a prevalence of degenerative diseases, and the most obvious signs of ageing.
Oxidative stress and chronic degenerative diseases
In fact, scientists and doctors now widely agree that oxidative stress figures prominently in atherosclerosis and heart disease, cell transformation and cancer, all kinds of inflammatory conditions, eye problems such as cataracts and macular degeneration, as well as brain and nervous system conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.

Neutralizing free radicals and disease prevention
So how can we try to reduce or prevent free radical damage to the cells?
If oxidative stress increases when antioxidant defenses weaken, or free radical levels rise, it follows that we can decrease oxidative stress by bolstering the body's antioxidant defenses and reducing the amount of free radicals floating around the blood and tissues.
Optimal cellular nutrition

Many experts now agree that this is most easily done by boosting your natural defenses through optimal cellular nutrition.
This simply involves providing ALL nutrients to the cell at optimal levels, which allows it to decide what it actually does and does not need.
In this way, you can make sure there aren’t going to be any nutritional deficiencies – because nutrient levels will automatically be corrected within a few months of regaining optimal cell nutrition. Which nutrients are needed for optimal cellular nutrition?

Basically, getting optimal cellular nutrition means giving your body all the Research often shows that the antioxidants, in addition to the supporting B vitamins and antioxidant minerals. These also need to be ingested at optimal levels.
recommended daily allowance (RDA) of each nutrient may not be enough to prevent many health conditions.
That’s because the RDA levels were originally determined during the years of last century’s World Wars, and they really only apply to the minimum levels of nutrients needed to ward off certain acute deficiency diseases which are no longer particularly common (e.g. scurvy, rickets, pellagra).
As a result, they don’t account for conditions such as chronic degenerative diseases, which are far more prevalent today.
Optimal levels to prevent degenerative disease
Nowadays, the optimal levels of nutrients known to provide health benefits are significantly greater than those suggested by the RDA levels. For example, some studies show that the optimal level of vitamin C is approximately 1200 to 2000 mg daily, while the RDA is only 60 mg.
To benefit from the optimal levels of cellular nutrition, you’d need to eat 17 kiwifruit, or 18 oranges, or 160 apples!
When you look at it like that, it seems obvious that the best way to get these levels of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients is to take a good quality supplement. Think of cellular nutrition as a very wise way of using the supplement and your food as “preventative medicine” to stop the disease process before it even begins.
