Misc Notes

Paul Beatty
• Paul Beatty had a family with a history of auto-immune response disorders (fibro myalgia, arthritis, cancer). In 1989, at age 40 he contracted a viral infection: Epstein-Barr which lead to myalgic encephalitis which started progressing in a way that the doctors couldn’t stop. He was in a wheel chair but was still strong enough to take control of his own treatment which lead him to Dr. Byron Hyde in Ottawa and to Dr. Peter Beehan in Glasgow and to Dr. David Horrobin in Glasgow. Dr. Horrobin did the original research in the 1970’s on the importance of Omega 3,6 and the dangers of trans fats. He put Paul on his EFA regime and in 3 months Paul was 80% recovered.

Packaging
• Over 24 million tons of plastic are thrown out in the US every year. Concentrated Melaleuca cleaning products in recyclable plastic bottles are helping reverse this trend.

Nutrition
• Unpasteurized honey is an excellent source for the B vitamins
• Dr. John Folts developed Provex CV (Grape Seed extract) at the University of Wisconsin with grants of $20 M
• Bobby McCoy was pregnant 7 years ago with septuplets. Her doctor prescribed the Vitality Pack from Melaleuca to maintain proper vitamin and mineral levels during her pregnancy. All children were born healthy.
• If you supplement with vitamins and minerals, always take a multi-vitamin, don’t take vitamins in the morning and minerals in the afternoon. Minerals and Vitamins work together to aid in digestion and conversion. If even one mineral is missing, then certain conversion processes will fail.
• Insufficient calcium prevents REM sleep which is vital to healing
• Bioflavonoids are found in green leafy vegetables (e.g. spinach, kale, broccoli, green peppers) plus fruits and vegetables of high colour (red peppers, yellow peppers, orange peppers, blue berries). One exception is cauliflower which has no colour but is still high in bioflavonoids.

Health Care Contradictions
• In 1983, the American Cancer Society (ACS) refused to join the march of dimes, the American Heart Association and the American Lung Association to support the Clean Air Act
• Doctors get involved with curing disease, nutritionists get involved with preventing disease and its true “an once of prevention is worth a pound of cure” particularly when our health case costs are soaring out of control
• Doctors are the third largest cause of deaths in the US through incorrect diagnoses and treatments – Journal of American Medical Association Mercola

Health Care
• U.S. health-care system 'insane', Bill Clinton warns. Speaking at a fundraising dinner at the Windsor Arms Hotel in Toronto, Canada, Clinton described the U.S. system as "a nightmare. It's insane, a colossal waste of money. In the U.S., 34 per cent of the health-care budget goes to administrative costs, he said, compared with Canada's 19 per cent. "In the U.S., administrative costs mean the financial tail is wagging the health-care dog." Toronto Star: May 16, 2006. pg. A4

EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids)
• Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis are caused by over production of Prostaglandin 2 and insufficient Prostaglandin 1 and 3. This imbalance can be fixed with a proper balance of Omega 3 and 6 Essential Fatty Acids
• Terry Little had Spinal Bifida and was on 17 drugs. Paul changed his medication to natural products and today Terry is healthy and is free of all drugs.
• Dr. Dave Horrobin trained under Dr. H. Sinclair. Both Doctors have been ridiculed at different points in their careers because their theories on EFAs were so controversial. Today their work is recognized by the medical community. Dr. Patricia Kane follows in Dr. Horrobin’s footsteps.
• Prostaglandin (PGE) opens the highway for nutrients to the cell
• Good cell defense will reverse cancer, fibromyalgia and MS
• Morphine, Cocaine, Ritalin prevent the breakdown of Omega 6 to produce GLA.
• The Efamol company has conducted tests involving over 10,000 patients with double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies. Over 1,000,000 kg of Evening Primrose Oil has been taken over the last 30 years. This wide consumer use has provided ample opportunity to collect reliable information about side effects. The GLA from Efamol starts to work to repair cancer cells in 4 days. Prostaglandins from GLA improve vessel dilation and blood flow. Cancer starts from a deficiency of the Delta 6 enzyme which inhibits the conversion of Omega 6 to the Prostaglandin 1 eicosanoid.
• Boys need 4 times the EFA that girls need.
• Prostaglandin 1 increases the effect of Interferon and Interleukin in treating cancer by a factor of 40. One of the problems of cancer surgery is that it shuts down the Delta 6 enzyme needed to produce Prostaglandin 1.
• Osteoporosis is not caused by calcium deficiency. Canada is the second highest country in the world for milk consumption, the problem is lack of Prostaglandin from Omega 3 which aids in the digestion of calcium
• ADD and ADHD are due to reduced blood flow to the brain which can be corrected with EFAs which reduce the stickiness of blood platelets
• Our lungs are surrounded with saturated fat (low fat can lead to lung cancer)
• Our brains are 70% fat, Lipitor stops the production of cholesterol which is important for the brain. Provex CV from Melaleuca provides the same benefits but it is all natural and much cheaper.
• Baldness is due to a lack of EFAs
• expectant mothers need Omega 3 supplements because of the needs of the growing baby, particularly in the 3rd trimester. Omega 3 is essential for brain and vision development. After the baby is born, the baby will continue to require Omega 3 which comes from the mother's milk. If the mother is deficient in Omega 3, then the baby will take all that she has and she will start to feel depressed (post partem depression) because she needs Omega 3 for her own mental health
• Lipid researchers have discovered the remarkable health benefits of a unique group of saturated fats found in mothers’ milk and coconut oil called the “medium chain fatty acids” Virgin Coconut Oil.co.uk

Low Fat Diets
• How effective have the recommended low-fat diets and non-fat foods really been, given that 97 million Americans (64% and 8.6% jump from 1994 to 1999) are overweight (Journal of American Medial Association, Oct/2002). And weight gain is not just a question of appearance. Obesity was number two on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention list of preventable causes of death in 2004 (after smoking). According to government statistics, being overweight substantially increases the risk of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gall bladder disease, osteoarthritis and respiratory problems as well as endometrial, breast, prostate and colon cancers. Higher body weight increases mortality for all causes. And when you are overweight, you may be listless and undernourished, lacking vital nutrients that your body derives from fat. (Dr. Mary Enig “Eat Fat, Lose Fat”).

Trans Fats
• Trans fat raises bad cholesterol and lowers good cholesterol. Eating just 5 grams per day (a small order of McDonald’s French fries) increases the risk of heart disease by 25 per cent. Its like a metabolic poison says Dr. Steen Stender, a cardiologist at Gentofte University Hospital in Hellerup, Denmark Toronto Star 17 April 2006 Page E7. Toronto Star

Obesity
• Diabetics can experience serious additional complications such as blindness, limb amputations and kidney failure. Type 2 diabetes has often been called "adult-onset diabetes" because it usually develops in adults middle-aged or older. Incidence of type 2 diabetes, however, has increased at the greatest rate in recent years among teenagers aged 15 to 19 years old. The percentage of children who are either overweight or at risk of being overweight rose to 34 percent in 2004, up from 28 percent in 2000.
• Approximately 23% of Canadian adults are obese and 36% are overweight. In the US, about 30% are obese and 34% are overweight. (Berkeley Wellness Letter May, 2006)

Exercise
• Aerobic fitness helps lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, enhances your ability to perform physically demanding jobs and daily tasks and thus improves over quality of life. Brisk exercise for several hours each week may not only add years to your life but life to your years. (Berkeley Wellness Letter June 2006)

Environment
Chasing the cancer answer – Wendy Mesley – CBC Marketplace:
• Childhood cancer is up 25% in the last 30 years
• 14 million Kg of carcinogens are released into the atmosphere in Canada each year
• More than 1/3 of the survivors of childhood cancer will have a major disease by the age of 45
• The Canadian Cancer society refers to the Doll and Peto report issued over 30 years ago. This report states that less than 5% of cancers are caused by environmental toxins. If this is the case, then why are cancer rates rising with all the new cancer treatments?
• The European Union will not import Canadian beef that has been injected with growth hormones, yet it is sold to Canadians. Why?
• Drug Companies have no mission to prevent disease, their mission is to treat disease once it has been identified.
• Wendy Mesley’s treatment cost the Health Care System $60,000
• Interviewed Diana Ward, an environmental activist in the UK. She sees Cancer as an environmental disease
• The European Union restricts certain carcinogens like sodium nitro triacetate found in Sunlight Soap, and formaldehyde found in Mr. Clean Eraser in Canada
• May Burrows of the Labour Environmental Alliance Society (Canada) is advocating that we at least put ingredient labels on our Home Cleaning and Personal Care products so that people can decide if they want to ingest them. Here’s a list of toxic chemicals found in our Home Cleaning and Personal Care products: sodium metasilicate (CAU), sodium silicate (CAU), ethoxylated alcohols (IR), ethyl alcohol (IR), ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (IR), isopropyl alcohol (IR, NEU), sodium hydroxide (CAU), sodium hypochlorite (IR), phosphoric acid (CAU, IR), butane (IR, NEU), isoparaffinin hydrocarbon (IR, NEU), propane (IR, NEU), hydrocarbon solvent (IR, NEU), isobutane (IR, NEU) …. CAU = Caustic, IR = Acute Irritant, NEU = Neurotoxin.
• State of the Evidence - What Is the Connection Between the Environment and Breast Cancer? Breast cancer rates have been climbing steadily in the United States and other industrialized countries since the 1940s, amounting to more than one million cases per year worldwide. In the United States, a woman’s lifetime risk of breast cancer has nearly tripled during the past four decades. In 2005, an estimated 211,240 U.S. women were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and more than 58,000 women were expected to be diagnosed with one type of in situ breast cancer, meaning the tumor is confined to its original location in the breast. The rate of new cases per year continues to inch upward in the United States even though billions of dollars have been spent on breast cancer research. Compelling scientific evidence points to some of the 100,000 synthetic chemicals in use today as contributing to the development of breast cancer, either by altering hormone function or gene expression. Synthetic agents that mimic the actions of estrogens are known as xenoestrogens and are one type of endocrine-(hormone-) disrupting compound. They are present in many pesticides, fuels, plastics, detergents and prescription drugs. Chronic exposure to widespread and persistent xenoestrogens may help explain the increase in breast cancer in industrialized countries around the world. Xenoestrogens known to increase the risk of breast cancer include ingredients in many household products, especially cleaning agents, solvents and pesticides. bcaction.org

Products
• 2 drops of Pledge can kill a child, Rustic Touch is safe
• Provex CV is made with Concord grape seeds from France, it repairs blood vessel walls, it’s a defense against allergies. It has 20 times the antioxidant power of Vitamin C and 50 times the anti oxidant power of Vitamin E. The using aspirin to reduce blood “stickiness” (antiplatelet) was developed by Dr. Folts (University of Wisconsin). His work on grape seed extract and Provex CV has lead him to prescribing grape seed extract instead of aspirin to improve blood flow. Another issue is that aspirin is negated by stress hormones, Provex CV is not. Provex CV drops LDL lipoproteins to zero. It interacts with collagen in the vessel walls and skin to repair blood vessels, eliminate varicose veins, eliminate edema, eliminate wrinkles and make you look years younger. You take 1 capsule per day for each 35 pounds of body weight.
• MelaPower kills dust mites and their eggs, Tide kills dust mites but not the eggs
• MelaPower has no peanut shells as fillers, Tide contains peanut shells as a filler which has adversely effected children with asthma
• Sol-U-Guard Botanical is the only FDA approved disinfectant, its hospital grade

Stress
• Emotional stress (wall papering, bad boss etc.) causes the same damage as standing behind a bus and smelling the fumes. Both cause breakdown of the cells making you more susceptible to disease

Diabetes
• People with Type 2 Diabetes are at increased risk for cancer of the colon or rectum. Diabetes raised the risk of colon cancer by 43%, rectal cancer by 33%. (Berkeley Wellness Letter May, 2006)
• A major study of 1600 people was completed on the effect of Celebrex in treating Arthritis over natural supplements. The result:
a) of those who took the placebo 60% reported significant relief
b) of those who took Celebrex 70% reported significant relief and
c) of those who took a combination of natural supplements: glucosamine and chondroitin, 79% reported significant relief. (Berkeley Wellness Letter May, 2006)
