We are exposed to risks
for cancer almost all the time
00:00:01.98\00:00:05.47
and it's the kind of thing
that everybody hopes that they
00:00:05.50\00:00:09.95
will never hear a
doctor say about them.
00:00:09.98\00:00:12.25
We're going to talk about
some of the risks for cancer and
00:00:12.28\00:00:16.38
how you can minimize
your risks in this program,
00:00:16.41\00:00:19.02
we think it will be very
beneficial to you, we hope
00:00:19.05\00:00:21.84
you will join
us for the program.
00:00:21.87\00:00:23.72
Welcome to Help
Yourself To Health
00:00:43.30\00:00:45.79
with Dr. Agatha Thrash
of Uchee Pines Institute
00:00:45.82\00:00:49.02
and now here is
your host Dr. Thrash.
00:00:49.05\00:00:52.09
We all understand that
the immune system is involved
00:00:52.12\00:00:58.02
in our getting cancer, sometimes
we don't quite understand how,
00:00:58.05\00:01:02.00
we may have led an exemplary
life so far as our immune system
00:01:02.03\00:01:07.80
is concerned, we have
done everything we know,
00:01:07.83\00:01:10.01
we've been very faithful
about exercise, we've tried to
00:01:10.04\00:01:13.69
minimize our stresses, we have
eaten a proper diet and still
00:01:13.72\00:01:18.67
we get cancer.
00:01:18.70\00:01:19.84
We don't know everything
about how to avoid cancer but
00:01:19.87\00:01:24.48
there are a number of things
that we do know and we'd like
00:01:24.51\00:01:27.56
to talk with you about some
of these, that the immune system
00:01:27.59\00:01:30.11
is involved is very clear and
all of those things we can do
00:01:30.14\00:01:35.26
to keep the immune system
functioning at a high level
00:01:35.29\00:01:38.00
that will give us a resistance
against the cancer that we know
00:01:38.03\00:01:43.69
is certainly a
plague in our population.
00:01:43.72\00:01:47.32
Cancer rates are going up
and chemicals in our society are
00:01:47.35\00:01:52.91
going up, things that injure
the immune system in some way
00:01:52.94\00:01:57.16
these are increasing, so as
we understand these things that
00:01:57.19\00:02:01.05
can make us so that maybe I
shouldn't even go out of doors.
00:02:01.08\00:02:04.78
Well we don't want to get
that attitude about life we can
00:02:04.81\00:02:08.55
indeed participate in
everything that goes on around
00:02:08.58\00:02:13.14
us and still have a
resistance against cancer.
00:02:13.17\00:02:17.00
We know that we are not going
to live forever unless the Lord
00:02:17.03\00:02:22.46
comes soon and we are translated
and so with the fact that
00:02:22.49\00:02:29.45
we need to live in this life,
we need to learn how to protect
00:02:29.48\00:02:34.27
ourselves from the world,
with this we can then begin some
00:02:34.30\00:02:38.04
research with more concentrated
and crystallized effort.
00:02:38.07\00:02:42.78
Now with the immune system
we know that exercise boosts
00:02:42.81\00:02:46.70
the effectiveness of the immune
system, we know that simply
00:02:46.73\00:02:49.93
staying warm, having
warm extremities, warm arms,
00:02:49.96\00:02:53.15
a warm neck, the face we can
have it cold, the face is on a
00:02:53.18\00:02:59.71
different circulatory system
and doesn't affect the immune
00:02:59.74\00:03:04.86
system at all, but the
legs, the feet need to be warm
00:03:04.89\00:03:09.50
if they are not warm then it
reduces the effectiveness of the
00:03:09.53\00:03:12.91
immune system.
00:03:12.94\00:03:13.91
It is also a fact that a
plant based diet is effective
00:03:13.92\00:03:19.15
in keeping the immune system
in peak functioning condition
00:03:19.18\00:03:23.90
and that animal products
a number of them have been
00:03:23.93\00:03:26.89
associated with certain cancers.
00:03:26.92\00:03:29.01
A high fiber diet strengthens
the immune system and also
00:03:29.04\00:03:33.64
lessens the number of cancer
producing agents that we keep
00:03:33.67\00:03:38.86
in our bodies.
00:03:38.89\00:03:40.03
Now I have Dr. Don Miller
with me this morning and he is
00:03:40.06\00:03:44.70
going to tell you about
food and how food is involved
00:03:44.73\00:03:49.50
in the production
of cancer, Dr. Miller!
00:03:51.42\00:03:54.24
- Well first I'll say
that rather than try to study
00:03:54.27\00:03:57.55
what is cancer
and what causes cancer
00:03:57.58\00:04:00.91
is the best thing to
do is to find out how
00:04:00.94\00:04:03.17
not to have cancer in the first
place and so I get to have this
00:04:03.20\00:04:06.35
little piece of talk in
about five seconds; fruits,
00:04:06.38\00:04:08.42
vegetables, whole grains,
nuts, and seeds, that should be
00:04:08.45\00:04:10.87
enough said, that is an anti-
cancer diet for the most part
00:04:10.90\00:04:14.88
now let's take it one
step beyond there because
00:04:14.91\00:04:18.15
even with that there
is a danger in sometimes
00:04:18.18\00:04:21.28
the foods that we have and
so I'm going to go through four
00:04:21.31\00:04:23.94
simple steps once you
have fruits, vegetables,
00:04:23.97\00:04:26.78
whole grains, nuts, and
seeds, how do we prepare and
00:04:26.81\00:04:29.79
take these things in.
00:04:29.82\00:04:30.79
The first thing is you select
them carefully, we realize that
00:04:30.81\00:04:34.10
sometimes and almost all the
time in many places the foods
00:04:34.13\00:04:38.18
have been sprayed with
herbicides and pesticides
00:04:38.21\00:04:41.15
and whatever else, and these
themselves can be carcinogenic
00:04:41.18\00:04:44.92
so we have to make sure that
our foods have been well washed
00:04:44.95\00:04:48.29
and as much as possible
taken from places where we have
00:04:48.32\00:04:52.07
carcinogens in the very
things that are being put
00:04:52.10\00:04:55.02
on these foods.
00:04:55.05\00:04:56.13
So we get our foods from
the most healthful source,
00:04:56.16\00:04:59.89
we find that foods that already
started to decompose themselves
00:04:59.92\00:05:04.15
are themselves unhealthy
and could be carcinogenic,
00:05:04.18\00:05:07.57
and so what we want to do
is get foods in it's best shape
00:05:07.60\00:05:10.80
as we can, second step is we
want to prepare them carefully,
00:05:10.83\00:05:14.53
how do we do this?
00:05:14.56\00:05:16.26
As I've already mentioned, we
clean them, make sure we got all
00:05:16.29\00:05:18.96
those things that might
have been on the surface off
00:05:18.99\00:05:21.59
of them, we're talking about
the grapes, we're talking about
00:05:21.62\00:05:24.20
the bananas, the apples, the
carrots, everything needs to be
00:05:24.23\00:05:27.40
washed, wash your lettuce
these are very good things.
00:05:27.43\00:05:30.38
Next step is ask God to bless
it, if you've done your part
00:05:30.41\00:05:34.96
He will do His part, and then
the fourth thing is just eat it
00:05:34.99\00:05:38.12
and quit worrying about
it because if you think it's
00:05:38.15\00:05:39.71
going to hurt
you, it probably will.
00:05:39.74\00:05:41.85
There's other things about
the foods that we need to be
00:05:41.88\00:05:44.82
concerned with, Dr. Bruce
Ames a number of years ago,
00:05:44.85\00:05:48.56
he is a bio-chemist, I don't
know whether he is still there,
00:05:48.59\00:05:51.01
he was at the University
of California in Burkley.
00:05:51.04\00:05:53.96
He came up with a list of
things that were carcinogenic,
00:05:53.99\00:05:58.82
food carcinogens that we have
in our society that are quite
00:05:58.85\00:06:02.83
common and some of
these might surprise you:
00:06:02.86\00:06:05.90
one is burned foods, if you
scorch your foods, as soon as
00:06:05.93\00:06:10.05
you scorch the food it has
become carcinogenic and it needs
00:06:10.08\00:06:13.70
to be rotated into the compost
bin, you burn your toast,
00:06:13.73\00:06:17.52
you are cooking some cereal
and you burn it at the bottom
00:06:17.55\00:06:21.77
of the pot, what I do if I
ever do this is usually use a
00:06:21.80\00:06:25.52
crock pot, but if I do burn
my cereal I will put the pot
00:06:25.55\00:06:28.69
immediately in cold water which
will draw these things that
00:06:28.72\00:06:36.60
are causing the flavoring down
into the burnt part and if you
00:06:36.63\00:06:41.13
taste the top part and
you do not taste the burn it's
00:06:41.16\00:06:44.50
probably ok, so stay
away from burned food.
00:06:44.53\00:06:47.88
Second thing he
mentions is damaged potatoes,
00:06:47.91\00:06:52.56
as strange as that may
sound, when I first heard this
00:06:52.59\00:06:56.39
I said I am not going to
do that any more, I used to go
00:06:56.42\00:06:59.81
to the store and buy the
10 pound bag, the 15 pound bag
00:06:59.84\00:07:03.22
of potatoes, now when I go
to the store to buy potatoes
00:07:03.25\00:07:06.55
I pick each one up and I examine
them all around because often
00:07:06.58\00:07:11.74
in the harvesting
process they are damaged by the
00:07:11.77\00:07:17.02
harvesting tools and if
they get that cut in there
00:07:17.05\00:07:20.18
the cut will somewhat heal
because see the potato will try
00:07:20.21\00:07:24.94
to heal, but what's happening
inside the potato when it gets
00:07:24.97\00:07:28.46
invaded by that hoe or
whatever it is that hit that,
00:07:28.49\00:07:32.18
it thinks it's a foreign
invader of a live type and
00:07:32.21\00:07:36.48
it starts producing some
types of chemicals that will
00:07:36.51\00:07:39.74
kill that thing
that's invading it.
00:07:39.77\00:07:41.98
Well after three days
it's carcinogenic and it can
00:07:42.01\00:07:45.50
get you too, and so it's best
not to get damaged potatoes.
00:07:45.53\00:07:49.30
Another thing he mentioned
was mushrooms, I think he said
00:07:49.33\00:07:54.56
two out of three of the
most common forms of mushrooms
00:07:54.59\00:07:57.61
in the markets are carcinogenic.
00:07:57.64\00:08:00.21
Now we're not saying if you
eat a mushroom it's going to
00:08:00.24\00:08:02.72
give you cancer, or
eat a piece of burned toast
00:08:02.75\00:08:04.75
because we've done these things
all of our lives, but for some
00:08:04.78\00:08:07.98
people these things can lead to
cancer so beings the fact that
00:08:08.01\00:08:13.99
we are getting older or we
are in a more polluted world
00:08:14.02\00:08:16.99
and our immune
systems are getting weaker,
00:08:17.02\00:08:18.95
it's the very best thing to do
is to do everything that we know
00:08:18.98\00:08:23.42
to stay away
from these problems.
00:08:23.45\00:08:25.12
We also realize that back in
the 1800's a little old lady was
00:08:25.15\00:08:30.44
talking about cancerous germs,
this was before viruses were
00:08:30.47\00:08:34.54
discovered, now we realize
that cancer is often viral
00:08:34.57\00:08:40.03
related, that it's a virus
being transmitted into the body
00:08:40.06\00:08:43.97
and basically those viruses
many times come from animal
00:08:44.00\00:08:47.88
products, and so again to
protect yourself from cancers
00:08:47.91\00:08:52.94
fruit, vegetables, whole grains,
nuts, and seeds, stay away from
00:08:52.97\00:08:57.65
the animal products because
they are a teaming laboratory
00:08:57.68\00:09:03.54
of viruses and bacteria's and
other types of organisms that we
00:09:03.57\00:09:07.51
really don't need to fight in
these already weakened bodies.
00:09:07.54\00:09:10.91
So a little bit of things
about the foods there of course
00:09:10.94\00:09:13.84
keeping the sugar content
down as we take sugar Dr. Thrash
00:09:13.87\00:09:17.85
just mentioned the immune
system, sugar suppresses the
00:09:17.88\00:09:20.77
immune response and many other
things in our environment do but
00:09:20.80\00:09:24.40
just eat a good healthy clean
diet and Dr. Thrash I think
00:09:24.43\00:09:27.84
if we do this we will probably
not have to meet our appointment
00:09:27.87\00:09:30.99
with cancer.
00:09:31.02\00:09:32.11
- I certainly hope not,
then another thing that's a big
00:09:32.14\00:09:36.18
factor in some areas is
the water, we know that certain
00:09:36.21\00:09:41.38
big water supplies for prominent
cities like Chicago and Atlanta
00:09:41.41\00:09:47.03
and Los Angeles, that the fish
living in those rivers and lakes
00:09:47.06\00:09:54.99
have cancer, how
did they get cancer?
00:09:55.02\00:09:57.64
Well it's probably from
agricultural runoff or big
00:09:57.67\00:10:01.90
feed lots of animals or
some other place that pollutants
00:10:01.93\00:10:07.46
can get into the water supply,
and then the second thing
00:10:07.49\00:10:12.07
that makes the water so
that it can be cancer producing
00:10:12.11\00:10:16.66
is that the very purifiers
themselves put into the water
00:10:16.69\00:10:22.07
to purify it to make it so
that it is alright for people
00:10:22.10\00:10:26.19
to take into their homes,
these things also can in some
00:10:26.22\00:10:30.90
instances apparently be involved
in increasing one's risk of
00:10:30.93\00:10:35.47
cancer.
00:10:35.50\00:10:36.68
Whatever it is about water,
every municipal water supply
00:10:36.71\00:10:40.68
has been tested in many of these
areas, most of the big cities
00:10:40.71\00:10:45.44
just ten miles outside of
the water supply district of the
00:10:45.47\00:10:50.01
municipal water supply the
cancer rates are lower except
00:10:50.04\00:10:55.17
where there are farmers
who are using various kinds of
00:10:55.20\00:10:58.84
chemicals on their
crops, so water can be a serious
00:10:58.87\00:11:03.67
problem for us.
00:11:03.70\00:11:04.67
But then another thing
that we find that's a serious
00:11:04.68\00:11:08.74
problem that increases
one's risks for getting cancer
00:11:08.77\00:11:12.25
is lifestyle and Dr.
Miller will talk with us about
00:11:12.28\00:11:16.04
lifestyle now.
00:11:16.07\00:11:17.22
- There are various lifestyle
factors that we find are
00:11:17.25\00:11:20.62
more promoting for cancer,
whether it's the lifestyle
00:11:20.65\00:11:23.67
of the occupation that you have,
lifestyle in what you do for
00:11:23.70\00:11:27.34
recreation, various things
are going to cause us to be more
00:11:27.37\00:11:31.43
prone to get cancers.
00:11:31.46\00:11:33.83
I have in my mind right now,
when I was a child I went to a
00:11:33.86\00:11:37.86
place that's called Coney Island
in Cincinnati, and I remember
00:11:37.89\00:11:40.84
seeing a man laying there
and he was as brown as my shoes
00:11:40.87\00:11:45.36
and just shriveled up, he
probably wasn't all that old,
00:11:45.39\00:11:49.93
but all that
sunshine was setting him up...
00:11:49.96\00:11:53.48
Now a little bit of sun is not
that bad, matter of fact it's
00:11:53.51\00:11:55.70
not bad to get a sun tan, but
these people who lay out there
00:11:55.73\00:11:59.11
and get the sun burns... A
sun burn sets you up sometime
00:11:59.14\00:12:03.15
in your life for cancer, now
I'm not saying that you're going
00:12:03.18\00:12:06.04
get cancer if you've been
sun burned because most of us
00:12:06.07\00:12:08.64
have been, but one sunburn
in your whole life will leave
00:12:08.67\00:12:12.82
you open for melanomas, so
what we want to do is protect
00:12:12.85\00:12:16.49
the skin, so those people
who have either through their
00:12:16.52\00:12:19.62
recreation get to much sun
or through their occupation
00:12:19.65\00:12:23.33
gets to much sun, we need to
learn how to protect ourselves.
00:12:23.36\00:12:27.99
Wear a hat, wear the glasses,
wear the clothes that cover
00:12:28.02\00:12:31.45
the body and you can
take care of that one.
00:12:31.48\00:12:34.72
The two probably highest
occupations for cancers are
00:12:34.75\00:12:40.38
dairy farmers and poultry
farmers, now whether that's
00:12:40.41\00:12:43.79
because they are so much of
their own products or they are
00:12:43.82\00:12:47.06
just around these different
animals, I don't know which
00:12:47.09\00:12:50.78
one it is, probably a little
bit of both, this is a potent
00:12:50.81\00:12:54.11
form of certain types of cancers
so stay away from these things.
00:12:54.14\00:12:58.17
Radiation, one of my
first patients at Uchee Pines
00:12:58.20\00:13:02.47
had worked for the Savannah
River Plant, where there was
00:13:02.50\00:13:05.08
lots of radiation somewhere
along the line and he got cancer
00:13:05.11\00:13:10.04
basically it was an oral cancer.
00:13:10.07\00:13:12.12
So radiation whether it is
through the sunshine during
00:13:12.15\00:13:17.03
the peak times of the day
basically between 10:00 in
00:13:17.06\00:13:19.81
the morning and three in the
afternoon we have more of the
00:13:19.84\00:13:22.75
harmful rays it could also
be in the medical type of an
00:13:22.78\00:13:26.75
experience, if you have
ever gone to the hospital or the
00:13:26.78\00:13:30.27
doctor's office and they
were going to give you an x-ray
00:13:30.30\00:13:33.33
what do they do, they come
out and they wrap certain parts
00:13:33.36\00:13:37.94
of your body in this lead
jacket and they skittle out of
00:13:37.97\00:13:42.03
that room, they are not
going to stay in there with you.
00:13:42.06\00:13:43.79
they wear this little tag with
them, this little thing that
00:13:43.82\00:13:46.87
absorbs x-rays, and they have
it tested periodically to see
00:13:46.90\00:13:50.58
how much it is absorbed
because if it has absorbed it,
00:13:50.61\00:13:53.14
he has absorbed it.
00:13:53.17\00:13:55.48
Once you get x-rays those
x- rays are with you in your
00:13:55.51\00:13:58.91
body and so the deal is
limit the amount of x-rays
00:13:58.94\00:14:02.96
that you get, some people
to and get x-rays all the time,
00:14:02.99\00:14:07.43
dental x-rays and x-rays
for the most innocent causes.
00:14:07.46\00:14:11.90
I would not get an x-ray unless
I really felt like I really
00:14:11.93\00:14:15.51
needed this x-ray.
00:14:15.54\00:14:16.74
I've know people with
broken bones that said look you
00:14:16.77\00:14:17.74
can tell the things broken, just
fix it I don't want an x-ray,
00:14:17.77\00:14:22.11
so those are the
causes of one of those things.
00:14:22.14\00:14:26.13
Pollution, there are different
types of pollutants that are
00:14:26.16\00:14:29.53
carcinogenic, now one
that we know very well from
00:14:29.56\00:14:33.35
30- 35 years ago was Agent
Orange that they use a lot in
00:14:33.38\00:14:37.29
Vietnam, those people who
were sprayed with it were in
00:14:37.32\00:14:40.40
the area where agent orange
was are now coming down with
00:14:40.44\00:14:44.02
many problems.
00:14:44.05\00:14:45.05
Asbestos, now they are
trying to get it out of all the
00:14:45.08\00:14:47.95
buildings, but you know
it is interesting when the
00:14:47.98\00:14:50.31
World Trade Centers were
destroyed, that was some of the
00:14:50.34\00:14:55.47
last buildings built that used
Asbestos inside the building.
00:14:55.50\00:15:01.60
I heard recently, but I have to
check this out, upwards of 50%
00:15:01.63\00:15:07.30
of the policeman and fireman who
were in the area who survived
00:15:07.33\00:15:11.42
now are out on disability
because of the asbestos that
00:15:11.45\00:15:14.95
was in the air, and asbestosis
leads to cancer of the lung,
00:15:14.98\00:15:19.68
they could have never smoked
a cigarette in their lives
00:15:19.71\00:15:22.02
and this could be a problem.
00:15:22.05\00:15:23.28
Cigarette smoking there
is another one, whether it is
00:15:23.31\00:15:25.84
active or passive these things
are potent forms of cancers
00:15:25.87\00:15:29.77
in the body so we need to stay
away from any form of cancers
00:15:29.80\00:15:33.13
alcohol can precipitate cancers
of the mouth, of the throat,
00:15:33.16\00:15:38.49
of the stomach, stay
away from the alcohols.
00:15:38.52\00:15:41.65
Dress, lifestyle, the
way people dress, people who
00:15:41.68\00:15:46.65
bundle up, you know lots of
people in the cold weather like
00:15:46.68\00:15:49.85
to wear these big down vests
and leave their arms hanging
00:15:49.88\00:15:53.12
out, if you don't have
much covering on your arms
00:15:53.15\00:15:56.57
or your legs, it causes
the blood to shunt to the trunk
00:15:56.60\00:16:00.69
and when you conjest the trunk
it leads to more breast cancer
00:16:00.72\00:16:05.05
so we find that women
who live in colder countries
00:16:05.08\00:16:09.14
seem to have more breast
cancer, probably because of the
00:16:09.17\00:16:12.52
fact that we are slaves to
fashion, we want to sit there
00:16:12.55\00:16:14.93
and look all this neat
because of our whatever it is,
00:16:14.96\00:16:17.98
I don't know what drives a
person to live an unhealthy
00:16:18.01\00:16:20.49
lifestyle Dr. Thrash because
I've seen some of these people
00:16:20.52\00:16:22.87
dying of cancer and
it's not a pretty site.
00:16:22.90\00:16:24.63
- Yes! We do have a lot
of knowledge that can help us
00:16:24.66\00:16:29.06
in these areas.
00:16:29.09\00:16:31.59
Concerning overheating,
not only overheating the chest
00:16:31.62\00:16:35.77
but also overheating the
pelvic area in men can lead to
00:16:35.80\00:16:39.96
cancer of the testes.
00:16:39.99\00:16:41.53
For decades we have know that
if a little boy was born with
00:16:41.56\00:16:47.00
his testes not down in the
scrotum but up in the canal
00:16:47.03\00:16:51.98
then that testes that was
in the canal, that never did
00:16:52.01\00:16:56.76
come down is something like
60 times more likely to get a
00:16:56.79\00:17:02.31
cancer in it than the normally
descended testes into the
00:17:02.34\00:17:09.15
scrotum, so what urologists
do is at about the age of
00:17:09.18\00:17:13.60
seven years, or certainly by the
age of 15 years, a little boy
00:17:13.63\00:17:17.89
whose testes has not descended
properly, that testes will be
00:17:17.92\00:17:23.11
simply removed.
00:17:23.14\00:17:24.26
Most of the time the
other testes is quite capable of
00:17:24.29\00:17:28.82
performing all the needs,
all the functions that the
00:17:28.85\00:17:32.86
young man would need ever.
00:17:32.89\00:17:35.01
Now another thing that we don't
know much about but has been
00:17:35.04\00:17:39.88
implicated in cancer is exposure
to high tension electric lines,
00:17:39.91\00:17:45.34
this has not been proven yet
and some studies seem to refute
00:17:45.37\00:17:49.51
the idea that electricity is
involved in the production of
00:17:49.54\00:17:54.09
cancer, but from the very first
study there was enough evidence
00:17:54.12\00:17:58.83
to make me feel that we should
try to locate our homes away
00:17:58.86\00:18:03.26
from these high tension power
lines believing that if it could
00:18:03.29\00:18:08.63
interfere with the radio
reception or TV reception
00:18:08.66\00:18:12.01
that it might be able to
interfere somewhat in the
00:18:12.04\00:18:15.54
electrical impulses that
the body has and thus interfere
00:18:15.57\00:18:19.58
with the immune system.
00:18:19.61\00:18:20.71
There are some infections very
clearly shown to be involved in
00:18:20.74\00:18:27.31
cancer, one of those is
hepatitis C, hepatitis C is
00:18:27.34\00:18:34.30
common and getting to be more
common, and we need to learn
00:18:34.33\00:18:38.54
as much as we can about that
so that we can avoid getting
00:18:38.57\00:18:42.10
hepatitis C, Dr. Miller
would you talk with us some
00:18:42.13\00:18:45.26
about hepatitis C and what
to do to keep from getting it
00:18:45.29\00:18:49.92
and so forth.
00:18:49.95\00:18:50.92
- Well hepatitis C as we
understand is transmitted
00:18:50.93\00:18:54.10
through blood and body fluids,
and the problem with Hepatitis C
00:18:54.13\00:18:59.70
is it's incubation period,
it incubates in about 6 months
00:18:59.73\00:19:03.68
and all during that time a
person who has been infected
00:19:03.71\00:19:06.92
with the hepatitis C
virus is infectious and they can
00:19:06.95\00:19:10.94
pass it on to other people
in their environment and so it's
00:19:10.97\00:19:13.90
very important to be
careful, and how are you careful
00:19:13.94\00:19:18.42
you don't know
who has it out there.
00:19:18.45\00:19:19.94
Well for the most part,
those people who are at risk,
00:19:19.97\00:19:23.39
and I'm not going to try to
classify all those people who
00:19:23.42\00:19:26.61
are at risk for hepatitis
C, but certainly those who get
00:19:26.64\00:19:30.12
blood transfusions if somehow
or other the blood bank has
00:19:30.15\00:19:33.84
been polluted with this
particular virus, those who are
00:19:33.87\00:19:39.62
intravenous drug users,
those who engage in risky sex,
00:19:39.65\00:19:45.38
anything outside of marriage
is risky sex, those things can
00:19:45.41\00:19:49.08
be a major problem with
transmitting it and if someone
00:19:49.11\00:19:51.55
doesn't know then it passes it
on down the line, so we need to
00:19:51.58\00:19:55.71
learn how first of all not
to get hepatitis, it's a serious
00:19:55.75\00:19:58.68
problem that a person has
it attacks the liver and when a
00:19:58.71\00:20:03.85
cell gets weakened the cell
opens itself up, or it's cell is
00:20:03.88\00:20:09.30
opened up, it is exposed
to the opportunity of becoming
00:20:09.33\00:20:12.44
invaded by cancer,
becoming cancerous itself.
00:20:12.47\00:20:15.13
So we find that people who
have hepatitis C, down the line
00:20:15.16\00:20:19.30
they are set up for things
like cirrhosis of the liver or
00:20:19.33\00:20:23.78
cancer of the liver, so
what we need to do is first,
00:20:23.81\00:20:26.33
don't get it, but if we do
get it there are some simple
00:20:26.36\00:20:28.78
things that we can do
to take care of ourselves.
00:20:28.81\00:20:31.48
One, we need to take care
of the liver that's where it's
00:20:31.51\00:20:34.53
going to attack, we can do
hot fomentations, just a hot
00:20:34.56\00:20:37.79
compress over the liver
and leave that there for awhile
00:20:37.82\00:20:41.89
and do a cold sponging after
that and then you take a shower
00:20:41.92\00:20:45.89
you might even do a series of
hot fomentations and then cold
00:20:45.92\00:20:50.00
rubs, hot fomentations, cold
rubs, what this is going to do
00:20:50.03\00:20:54.12
is bring some more circulation
and some healing into the
00:20:54.15\00:20:58.94
liver area.
00:20:58.97\00:21:00.40
The diet has to be as clean
as it can be, you have to stay
00:21:00.43\00:21:04.00
off the sugars, you have to
stay off the fats, you have to
00:21:04.03\00:21:06.38
stay off the animal
products and eat a pure diet,
00:21:06.41\00:21:10.36
as pure a diet as you can find.
00:21:10.39\00:21:12.18
Grapefruit Seed Extract would
also be good for recovering
00:21:12.21\00:21:16.63
the liver, I like to for
patients who have liver problems
00:21:16.66\00:21:20.16
or want to sit there and
rejunivate their liver take some
00:21:20.19\00:21:22.94
lemon juice in some water each
day, lemon juice is extremely
00:21:22.97\00:21:26.87
good liver tonic and it
will be good for the liver.
00:21:26.90\00:21:29.67
Garlic, extremely good for
the liver and I would recommend
00:21:29.70\00:21:32.96
somebody with hepatitis to eat
a lot of garlic, it may come out
00:21:32.99\00:21:39.10
of their pores a little
bit and make them a little bit
00:21:39.13\00:21:41.18
anti-social but I'd
rather... If I had hepatitis you
00:21:41.21\00:21:44.99
don't need to be all that close
to everybody in the neighborhood
00:21:45.02\00:21:47.35
any way.
00:21:47.38\00:21:48.35
There a few herbs that you can
take, you can take Milk Thistle
00:21:48.36\00:21:52.29
one of the best herbs for
the liver, you can take Bilberry
00:21:52.32\00:21:55.18
another nice herb for the liver,
Goldenseal, and then of course
00:21:55.21\00:22:00.08
doing the hot and
cold treatments I have
00:22:00.11\00:22:01.72
already mentioned.
00:22:01.75\00:22:02.72
I knew a person a few years ago
who all of a sudden out of the
00:22:02.73\00:22:08.72
blue it seems, developed
hepatitis C and immediately
00:22:08.75\00:22:13.60
went to work on it, doing these
simple things you've got that
00:22:13.63\00:22:18.23
diet right, did the hydrotherapy
right, took the herbs right,
00:22:18.26\00:22:22.11
and within 6 months she was
negative for the hepatitis C
00:22:22.14\00:22:26.46
and I saw her a few years
ago in Austria and she has been
00:22:26.49\00:22:29.06
completely well now for awhile,
it's been seven or eight years.
00:22:29.09\00:22:32.24
So if we grab the reigns
immediately if we do get out
00:22:32.27\00:22:36.98
of control, grab the reigns
immediately, bring this thing
00:22:37.01\00:22:40.27
under control, it's a
good chance that you could even
00:22:40.30\00:22:43.48
beat this terrible disease
Dr. Thrash and that's what I
00:22:43.51\00:22:46.92
recommend.
00:22:46.95\00:22:47.92
- Yes! Hepatitis is a
very serious disease and we can
00:22:47.93\00:22:52.08
combat it, we've had
some cases at Uchee Pines,
00:22:52.11\00:22:56.75
we have advised their treatment
and they have gone through
00:22:56.78\00:23:01.67
the herbal things and the
lifestyle factors and they have
00:23:01.70\00:23:07.15
had a reduction in the liver
enzymes that they have had,
00:23:07.18\00:23:12.45
I personally have not had a
case that has become negative to
00:23:12.48\00:23:17.30
the serology
tests for the virus.
00:23:17.33\00:23:19.72
The stresses that we are
subjected to all the time
00:23:19.75\00:23:25.65
these can weaken the immune
system and make it so that we
00:23:25.68\00:23:28.33
are more likely
to develop cancer.
00:23:28.36\00:23:31.21
People who have mental
illnesses, especially those who
00:23:31.24\00:23:34.99
are institutionalized,
they tend to get more cancers
00:23:35.02\00:23:38.74
than do people who are not
institutionalized, I don't know
00:23:38.77\00:23:42.80
why that is whether it's
the medications that they take
00:23:42.83\00:23:45.66
it may have some cancer
promoting activity or whether
00:23:45.69\00:23:50.23
this may be some innate
feature of being mentally ill
00:23:50.26\00:23:55.94
that weakens the immune
system, whatever it is just as a
00:23:55.97\00:23:59.68
class of patients they do tend
to get more cancers and to die
00:23:59.71\00:24:04.67
a little earlier
than other people do.
00:24:04.70\00:24:07.21
Perhaps some of the inflammatory
substances which produce many
00:24:07.24\00:24:13.44
chronic progressive illnesses,
maybe some of these are involved
00:24:13.47\00:24:18.01
in the shortened life
span of people with severe
00:24:18.04\00:24:22.67
hospitalizable
types of mental illness.
00:24:24.08\00:24:26.38
Now there is sexually
transmitted diseases that are
00:24:26.42\00:24:29.71
known to be associated
with cancer, one of those
00:24:29.74\00:24:32.66
is syphilis.
00:24:32.69\00:24:33.78
When I was in medical school
I remember that the man who
00:24:33.81\00:24:38.69
taught us eye, ear, nose,
and throat diseases said that
00:24:38.72\00:24:43.65
there were three causes of
cancer of the mouth and throat
00:24:43.68\00:24:48.67
and those were syphilis, and
poor oral hygiene, and carious
00:24:48.70\00:24:54.84
teeth, so I have come to believe
that many of the sexually
00:24:54.87\00:25:01.55
transmitted disorders or
diseases can be associated with
00:25:01.58\00:25:06.15
an increased risk
of getting a cancer.
00:25:06.18\00:25:10.27
Cancer of the cervix may
be classified as a sexually
00:25:10.30\00:25:15.56
transmitted disease, there
is the human Papillomas virus
00:25:15.59\00:25:20.92
and it can be transmitted from
one sexual partner to another
00:25:20.95\00:25:24.31
and especially when there are
multiple partners in the life
00:25:24.34\00:25:29.12
of an individual, we do know
that there is an increase in the
00:25:29.15\00:25:33.47
number of cases of cancer of
the foreskin and cancer of the
00:25:33.50\00:25:38.22
cervix, the human Papillomas
virus is one that is a virus
00:25:38.25\00:25:42.86
that's involved in that.
00:25:42.89\00:25:44.46
Then we know that the Burkitt's
Lymphoma, this lymphoma that's
00:25:44.49\00:25:52.71
characteristic of people
with AIDS and people who live in
00:25:52.74\00:25:56.93
countries such as Africa, this
is also apparently somewhat of a
00:25:56.96\00:26:02.31
sexually transmitted disease,
that matter is not entirely
00:26:02.34\00:26:08.57
clear yet but certainly
there are some indications
00:26:08.60\00:26:12.34
that it is true.
00:26:12.37\00:26:13.43
Thyroid disorders, maybe because
of a weakening of the immune
00:26:13.46\00:26:19.82
system possibly because of
the taking of a hormone on a
00:26:19.85\00:26:26.10
long term basis, this
could also be a feature in the
00:26:26.13\00:26:30.64
formation of breast cancer,
not much has recently been
00:26:30.67\00:26:34.14
presented in that in the medical
literature but a number of
00:26:34.17\00:26:38.45
years ago there was an
indication that in women who
00:26:38.48\00:26:42.84
did not need to take thyroid
hormone but were taking it
00:26:42.87\00:26:47.06
just because of some symptom
that was apparently related to
00:26:47.09\00:26:52.18
some other problem such as
being chilly in mild weather
00:26:52.21\00:26:57.31
or having some lack of energy,
or some other symptom that was
00:26:57.34\00:27:08.68
just general that these
individuals would take thyroid
00:27:08.71\00:27:13.40
over a long period of time to
boost these functions and they
00:27:13.43\00:27:17.97
tend to have a slightly
higher risk of getting cancer
00:27:18.00\00:27:21.84
of the breast.
00:27:21.87\00:27:22.97
Now with studying all of these
things we see that infections
00:27:23.00\00:27:27.34
are involved, that pollutants
in our surroundings are
00:27:27.37\00:27:31.68
involved, that certain
lifestyle factors and food
00:27:32.19\00:27:35.05
factors are involved in
increasing our risks for getting
00:27:35.08\00:27:38.61
cancer, there are many others
we've only scratched the surface
00:27:38.64\00:27:42.62
of the known risks for cancer,
we invite you and encourage
00:27:42.65\00:27:47.46
you to study about these
matters and to make yourself
00:27:47.49\00:27:50.80
knowledgeable so that you can
resist these increasing numbers
00:27:50.83\00:27:55.29
of cancer risks in our society.
