The Heretic Speaks on Natural Health and Bad Science
INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK
Since the early 1980s I have been studying, reading and researching a wide variety of subjects
including natural health. From that time, what I began discovering seemed to be against the
main stream of conventional thought regarding health and medicine.
One day I woke up and realized that much of this topic was wrapped up in bad politics and big
money.
Such is the case with many, good and natural, alternative health supplements and remedies.
THE SCIENCE OF GOOD HEALTH
When it comes to the science of good health, as I said, it is more about big money
and bad politics than it is about good science and maintaining great health,
naturally.
In America we have the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American
Pharmaceutical Association (Big Pharma) with two of the largest congressional

lobbies in existence today. For those that don’t know, lobbyists are generally, by
definition, attorneys that are paid big bucks to influence your representatives in
Washington DC to vote for stuff that is not necessarily in your best interest.
The term goes all the way back to the English Parliament where people with
varied interests would hang out in the LOBY of Parliament and attempt to catch
the members of parliament and convince them to vote a certain way on a certain
bill or proposal in the Parliament.
It is the job of these current lobbyists to make sure that congress passes and
enforces laws to increase the power, influence and control of the AMA and Big
Pharma in every aspect of health care in the United States of America. With this
power, influence, and control comes billions and billions of dollars of income for
every aspect of these two huge industries. These lobbyists for the AMA and BIG
PHARMA make sure that DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS MAKE LOTS OF MONEY
CHARGING GREAT BIG BUCKS FOR YOUR MEDICAL CARE AND THE DRUGS
PRESCRIBED BY YOUR DOCTORS. There are lots of conflicts of interests that work
against the ordinary citizen like doctors owning hospitals and owning shares in
the BIG PHARMA COMPANIES so that their little club KEEPS making lots and lots
of YOUR money from prescribing synthetic drugs for you.
On the other hand, we have much evidence that natural supplements and some
natural methods of individual healthcare can go a long way to prevent and/or
heal a wide variety of diseases and other medical problems.

The Heretic Speaks on Natural Health and Bad Science
I’m not trying to say that we do not need our medical doctors because we do. I’m
trying to say that there are some good and way less expensive alternatives out
there that should be used and endorsed by the medical community. I will be
discussing and presenting some of these ideas and methods in this book. These
are the chapters on the science of maintaining good health and repairing and
supporting your body by adding natural dietary supplements to what you eat.
Over the last 40 years I have spent a great deal of time reading and researching
several branches of medical and health science.
As a young high school student, science was one of my hobbies. As a senior at
Jesuit High School in Dallas, I was president of the Science Club and was Vice
President of the Radio Club. As an extracurricular activity, our clubs hosted a
small Science fair.
The study of natural health alternatives has always been a hobby of mine.

Note: This is a well written, simple to read and easy to understand primer on natural healing, eating a
healthy balanced organic diet, and using the proper natural nutritional supplements to maintain good
health and heal or improve some of the most common maladies that most humans struggle with every
single day. (I know that this is out of alphabetical order, but , it fits here better logically, and the
readers should know that he only addresses GENERAL dietary considerations. The above reference book
covers specific dietary considerations for each ailment or malady that is addressed.
LET ME GO ON RECORD AS STATING THAT ALL OF THE READERS SHOULD FIND A NATUROPATHIC
PHYSICIAN AND CONSULT WITH HIM OR HER AS TO YOUR HEALTH AND WELL BEING. THEY ARE SOME
OF THE MOST WELL TRAINED PHYSICIANS IN THIS COUNTRY. THEIR EDUCATION IS UNENDING AND
THEY ARE TRAINED IN NATURAL AS WELL AS SYNTHETIC DRUGS. THEY ARE ALSO EXPERTS ON BLOOD

Note: This book shows how the medical environment has become a labyrinth of interlocking corporate,
hospital, and governmental interests increasingly controlled by drug companies, now commonly known
as “BIG PHARMA”. Big Pharma representatives write glowing articles and reports about
pharmaceuticals, which then get signed off on by physicians that are paid handsomely for their
cooperation, even though they may not fully understand the adverse side effects of the drugs that they
promote and prescribe… Many times, the most toxic of the substances are approved and used first,
while milder and more natural alternatives are ignored largely for financial reasons. (FOLLOW THE
MONEY). This is a great expose that was contributed on by two other MD’s and an MD/Naturopathic
Doctor. The book is well written and the research is well documented. AGAIN, FOLLOWING THE

Note: What a great book. Everyone should OWN a copy and use it for research. He even addresses the
OTHER SIDE of supplements and addresses it from a balanced perspective. THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD
ALL CONSULT A NATUROPATHIC PHYSICIAN, SUPPLEMENTS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE ANSWER, AND
SOMETIMES SUPPLEMENTS ARE “CONTRA INDICATED” FOR CERTAIN DISEASES. THAT’S RIGHT,
SOMETIMES SUPPLEMENTS CAN DO YOU MORE HARM THAN GOOD, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE TAKING
CERTAIN PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. Mr. Quillin starts from the perspective that EVERYTHING is affected in
one way or another by chemical fertilizers, preservatives, growth hormones, steroids, insecticides,
herbicides, and other toxins that are potentially very dangerous to most people, and to some people,
life threatening. This book has so much good to great information that it is impossible to summarize

chelate your body to help your body remove more toxins that it would normally retain. This is the
process of detoxification. It is very important, and if you do not do it regularly, you are looking for
trouble.

Section 1
THE NATURAL HEALTH HANDBOOK
INTRODUCTION
In the following chapters we get into the science of having and living a MUCH MORE healthy
lifestyle than most Americans do. First we summarize the book “THE SEVEN PILLARS OF
HEALTH”. These pillars are Water, Sleep and Rest, Diet, including Living Foods (phyto-
nutrients), Exercise, Detoxification, Nutritional Supplements, and Coping with Stress. (Our
Chapter 2 covers DIET AND EXERCISE as a separate topic and chapter.)
The next topic is Telomeres and Telemorase. Telomeres are the tip ends of all chromosomes
that control the cell replication process and thus control the aging process. Replication is the
process by which cells use to create new cells that are supposed to be perfect copies of the
existing cells. We will find out that cells do not always make perfect copies of themselves.
Telemorase is an enzyme that can be secreted and produced by the human body. It is a
relatively new discovery and is not fully understood at this time. It IS known that Telemorase
helps PROTECT AND DEFEND the telomeres, and, under certain circumstances, can actually
initiate or cause the lengthening of these telomeres.

The Heretic Speaks on Natural Health and Bad Science
Dr. Oz dedicated an entire nationally broadcast show to telomeres, and, using 5 women as test
subjects, found that with diet and exercise alone, telomere numbers could actually INCREASE
slightly.
THE ACTUAL FACTS ARE: THE OLDER WE GET, THE SHORTER OUR TELOMERES GET, AND
THEREFORE, AS WE AGE, THE FARTHER AND FASTER THE CELLULAR REPLICATION PROCESS
DEGRADES.
In this chapter, we explain cellular replication, telomeres and telomerase, and
then we present natural supplement products, dietary considerations, and
simple exercise programs that have been proven to improve your health and
actually slow the process of human aging.
We also present the latest scientific research into this new science of natural telomere support,
or, the slowing of, or the actual reversal of, the aging process. We also include internet links so
you can continue doing your own research to acquire these products and improve your own
diet and health and live a longer healthier, active and fruitful life through a healthier diet,
regular, mild exercise, and nutritional supplements that advance and support your telomeres
and other cellular replication functions at the BASE level.
Also in the first chapter, we discuss the main causes of bad health in this country such as Heart
Disease, high cholesterol, diabetes (and high and low blood sugar), arthritis, excess weight,
persistent infections, and preventing and healing some forms of cancer and several other
-

common ailments of the human species including __________, ____________, _____________
and _____________.
We also discuss, cover and explain the entire line of Isagenix natural products and natural
dietary supplements along with a natural product called Jusuru.
We will cover the basic natural nutritional supplements that should be in your arsenal for great
health and having a long and productive life. We cover the difference between natural and
synthetic supplements. BTW, 97% of all available supplements are synthetic and produced and
distributed by the drug companies and, many synthetic supplements are by products of various
manufacturing processes and industries.
We then cover the elimination of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) and GMOed products
from your diet, eating good, organic fruits and veggies for the phyto (living)-nutrients that they
contain. We then discuss reducing your intake of red meat. THE STANDARD AMERICAN DIET
(SAD) CONTAINS WAY TOO MUCH RED MEAT. We then cover why meats and vegetables
produced and processed with GMOed seeds, grains, growth hormones, steroids and antibiotics
may be bad for your health. THE EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING.
In the later chapters, I will also get into some little known facts about the big money behind the
politics of the BIG PROCESSED FOOD INDUSTRY, their influence on our government, the huge
PHARMACEUTIAL INDUSTRY and their influence on our government, and also the MEICAL
INDUSTRY and THEIR influence on our government.

The Heretic Speaks on Natural Health and Bad Science
We also cover some of the major causes of poor health in western society including what is
known as the SAD, or the Standard American Diet, mentioned above, and based around fast
foods, foods grown in nutritionally deficient soil that has been treated with tons of insecticides,
herbicides and other dangerous chemicals, and foods raised and grown with excessive amounts
of growth hormones, steroids, and antibiotics. These practices have been shown to increase
the toxicity levels and levels of many toxins in the humans that consume them.
Then we make specific recommendations for making BETTER BAD CHOICES for upgrading your
overall health and wellness in the wake of all of the GARBAGE that is available for human
consumption.
Next we will discuss the ever present issue of mental health. We will cover depression, stress,
anxiety and some other MINOR symptomatic disorders. We understand that some mental
disorders must be treated with pharmaceuticals, but, many mental disorders can be treated
with natural supplements, physical and mental exercises such a yoga, pilates, gi gong,
meditation, walking, working out, healthy living, eliminating alcohol and tobacco, taking
probiotics and other supplements, and BASIC HUMAN INTERACTION.
For many years I was on a multitude of big Pharma meds for blood pressure, cholesterol,
diabetes, mineral depletion, prostate issues, depression, stress, anxiety and other symptomatic
disorders, some related to my PTSD from Vietnam. However, nothing did any good until I
changed my lifestyle, began eating healthy, involved myself in human interaction therapy, and
began a regimen of natural supplements. Today, at 67 years of age, my Blood Pressure is

102/67 and ALL of my blood work is within normal range and most of it is excellent with no
signs of diabetes, mineral deficiencies, heart disease, arthritis, prostate swelling, or other
medical maladies.
I will cover Ozone (O3) therapy (both chamber and anal), colonic therapy, IR therapy, Chelation
therapy and clinically administered, intravenous, long chain, poly saccaride, Aloe Vera therapy
for the treatment of some forms of cancer, along with several other alternative cancer
therapies.
I will also provide detailed summaries of books in the research bibliography and I highly
recommend owning and reading the ones that pique your interest.
AGAIN and AGAIN, I also recommend AGAIN that everyone begin making a conscious effort to
MAKE BETTER BAD CHOICES IN WHAT YOU EAT AND UPGRADE YOUR OVERALL LIFE STYLE TO
INCLUDE ORGANIC FRUITS AND VEGGIES, HORMONE, ANTIBIOTIC, AND STEROID FREE MEATS,
AND PLENTY OF DAILY EXERCISE INCLUDING YOGA, PILATES, AND GIGONG.
IN THIS BOOK I WILL ATTEMPT TO TEACH YOU HOW TO:

EARTH SCIENCE FACTS (BAD SCIENCE BAD
POLITICS)
Section 2 covers Earth Sciences in general. I briefly summarize why Pot is illegal, since
this is kind of a pet peeve of mine. I will summarize a great presentation of the famous Dr. Weil
to several federal agencies demonstrating that incarcerating minor drug offenders ties up
roughly 50% of the judicial system and the penal system while roughly 15% of the ENTIRE
population uses these drugs. 75% of this 15% use Marijuana ONLY, AND MORE AND MORE
STATES ARE LEGALIZING ITS USE, BOTH RECREATIONAL AND MEDICINAL. Then I offer a clear
and concise discussion of Freon, CO2, Man Made Global Warming and the propaganda that has
been forced upon the American public. Then I cover oil well fracing (fracturing) and attempt to
debunk the latest in the liberal left’s campaign to reduce America to a third world country by
totally eliminating the oil, gas and coal industries in this country while the rest of the world uses
ANY AND ALL energy sources that are available to them.
I also get into the bad politics and “bad science” involved with these topics.

AGING AND
TELOMERE SCIENCE
Why Telomere Science holds the Key to Youthful Healthy Aging
For more information on TELOMERE SCIENCE go to Youthfulhealthyaging.com
There are trillions of cells in our body and at any given time a great number are dividing
furiously to keep us alive and well. This process is called “cell replication”. The process is
directed by genes sitting on the 23 pairs of chromosomes found in the nucleus of each and
every cell. The chromosomes are long sequences or strands of DNA that contain all of our
genetic material. Each pair of chromosomes consists of one from your mother and one from
your father and they are twisted around each other in a shape structure called a double helix.

The Heretic Speaks on Natural Health and Bad Science
Of particular interest to genetic scientists are the ends of each chromosome, which are known as
telomeres. Telomeres have no genetic function; they are simply stretches of DNA (repeats of base pairs)
that protect the rest of the chromosome. These little bits of DNA are critical to healthy cell function and
have been likened to the plastic tips on shoelaces because they prevent the chromosome from fraying.
However, telomeres do become progressively shorter each time the cell divides. When they get too
short, cells reach “replicative senescence” and can no longer divide properly. The result is the
various conditions associated with old age. In that sense, telomeres hold the key to our biological clocks
AND CONTROL THE ENTIRE AGING PROCESS.
Scientists have only recently begun to understand the critical importance of shortened telomeres.
Research has shown that people over sixty who have long telomeres experience greater heart
and immune system health than their age-matched counterparts with shorter telomeres.
Thus, it is becoming well-understood that maintaining telomere length is very important in preventing
age-related decline. The phenomenon of cellular aging was first noted by Professor Lenhard Hayflick in
1961. He discovered that cells cannot divide beyond a specific number of times. This is called the
Hayflick Limit. Cells reaching this limit become old. Although Professor Hayflick discovered this
important scientific principle, he had no idea what caused it. It took almost thirty more years before the
-

The Heretic Speaks on Natural Health and Bad Science
role telomeres play in cellular aging was finally understood. In 1990, Calvin Harley at McMaster
University in Canada and Carol Greider at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in the USA discovered that
telomere shortening goes hand-in-hand with the aging process and is the direct cause of cells reaching
the Hayflick Limit.
Telomeres are specialized structures that protect the chromosomes from fusions and degradation thus ensuring cell viability. Telomere loss, however, occurs as a natural result of aging and normal DNA replication.
Telomeres protect chromosomes against degradation, fusion, and rearrangements during DNA replication
Telomeres preserve the integrity of chromosomes by allowing the complete replication of the ends of chromosomal DNA through the activity of the enzyme telomerase
Telomeres facilitate the correct positioning of the chromosomes within the nucleus of our cells for replication
In mammalian cells, telomeres are composed of tandem repeats of the TTAGGG sequence that span10 to 15 kilobases and the various proteins that bind to this region.
During DNA replication, the terminal end of the telomere is not replicated resulting in the continual shortening of telomeres losing TTAGGG repeats.
The average number of base pairs lost per year varies depending upon both genetic and environmental factors.
Eventually, the telomeres shorten to a critical length resulting in chromosomal instability and loss of cell viability.

Nobel Prize
In 2009, Elizabeth H. Blackburn, Carol W. Greider, and JackW. Szostak won the Nobel Prize in medicine
for discovering how the chromosomes can be copied in a complete way during cell divisions and how
they are protected against degradation. The Nobel Laureates have shown that the solution is to be
found in the ends of the chromosomes, the telomeres, and in an enzyme that helps form them,
telomerase. If you wish to read more on this, here is the link to the Nobel Prize site.

MEN AND WOMEN
Product B, together with “Essentials” for men and women, is a unique formula combining
vitamins, minerals and natural nutraceuticals that help maintain balanced DAILY nutrition along
with healthy telomeres which control the aging process. Maintaining telomere length supports
normal cellular function, preserves the cell’s genetic blueprint and promotes Youthful Healthy

Your body is a collection of cells—as many as 100 trillion—with DNA inside the nucleus. DNA
draws the genetic blueprint for cellular function. DNA is packaged in long coiled strands called
"chromosomes." Every chromosome comes equipped with telomeres at the end of each strand.
The telomere is composed of DNA that serves to seal the end of the chromosome. Just like the
plastic tip at the end of a shoelace keeps the shoelace from fraying apart, telomeres protect

chromosomes from wearing away or degrading too quickly. But, telomeres don’t last forever;
each time a cell divides, telomeres grow shorter and shorter. As telomeres shorten, cells age,
and lose the ability to divide, and then, they eventually die.
Telomere Length is a Key to Healthy Cells
Recent discoveries in cellular biology point to a direct link between telomeres and longevity.
Preserving telomere length is now thought to be a key factor in healthy aging at the cellular
level. By slowing down the process that shortens telomeres, cellular health can be maintained,
which, in turn, supports great health and wellness. And there is exciting news in current
applications of nutritional science to cell health. Cutting edge research is showing it is possible
to slow down telomere shortening and perhaps even lengthen telomeres. Exercise, eating a
healthy diet, stress reduction and maintaining optimal body weight promote healthy telomeres.
Isagenix “ESSENTIALS” FOR MEN AND WOMEN, with Product B—At the Intersection of Science and
Innovation for Healthy Longevity
Research into the impact of nutrition on telomeres has now revealed that SEVERAL essential
nutrients--vitamin D, vitamin B12 and folic acid in particular (AMONG OTHERS)—help maintain
telomere length.* A cellular enzyme called "telomerase" regulates telomere lengthening.
Vitamin D shows evidence of an ability to increase telomerase activity and lengthen telomeres

in white blood cells.* Folic acid helps maintain DNA integrity by way of a biological process
known as "methylation".* Healthy men with above average folic acid levels have been found to
have longer teleomeres than folic acid-deficient men. Vitamin B12 is also known to support
healthy DNA.* Isagenix “ESSENTIALS” for men and women, along with Product B provides
ample amounts of these three vitamins, along with many natural nutraceutical ingredients that
have been specifically formulated and proven as telomere protectors:
Resveratrol: Well-known as a healthy aging antioxidant, resveratrol amps up telomerase activity.* Recent studies show resveratrol also activates enzymes called "sirtuins" that play biological roles in cellular aging.*
Grape Seed Extract: Preliminary research suggests Grape seed extract, valued world-wide for
its cardiovascular and circulatory benefits, also supports healthy cell aging.*

Telomeres and the onset of Death
A simple explanation of Telomeres
From my uncomplicated perspective it is pretty simple.
ASSUMED FACTS
1. Modern science has come to realize that most humans carry cancer cells that are, and
normally remain, dormant.
2. Modern science does not fully understand what causes these cancer cells to activate.
Studies have shown that the more prone we are to stress, and several other physiological
factors, the more likely we are to activate cancer cells.
3. Environmental pollutants in the atmosphere, electrosmog, or ELECTRO MAGNETIC FIELDS
that are detrimental to our cellular replication, as well as pesticides and herbicides in massive
amounts of soil probably have a great deal to do with the activation of cancer cells in modern
humans. Statistical studies have demonstrated since the late 1800s, before the massive
chemical treatment of soil began, the incidence of cancer has steadily risen. At the beginning of
the 20th century (1900s) the incidence of death by cancer was less than 1 in 5. Around the time
of WWII it was around 1 in 4.5. In the 60’s and 70’s it got to about 1 in 4. By the 1990’s, deaths
from cancer has risen all the way to 1 in 3. These are the facts, you may arrive at your own
conclusions.
4. Studies also show that cancer runs in families and the PROPENSITY for cancer cell activation
can be inherited.

5. Telomere science has now told us that the shorter our telomeres are, the shorter our
lifespan will be.
6. We now have quantitative numbers to work with. When we are conceived, our new DNA
chromosomes show a quantitative number of approximately 15,000. When we are born, blood
tests show a quantitative number of approximately 10,000. At death the approximate
quantitative number is about 5000.
7. The telomeres, as well as the chromosomes, are spun like tightly spiraled springs similar to
the look of a slinky. As I understand the current science, the number directly relates to the
number of windings in the telomere.
8. As we age, and our cells begin to replicate less and less perfectly or efficiently, and there are
fewer and fewer spirals that make up the less and less healthy telomeres.
The older we get, the more likely we are to "catch" cancer. Many older people die of cancer in
their 80s and 90s that was not present in their 70s and 80s.
9. Apparently, as the telomeres shorten and contain fewer and fewer winding spirals, cellular
replication quality degrades slightly upon each replication. Our body's ability to keep cancer
cells "at bay" weakens as the cellular degradation process continues.
10. Apparently as our telomere spirals degrade, there is a corresponding WEAKENING of part
of our immune system, which is part of our system that keeps cancer cells "at bay".
Therefore as our telomere number approaches 5000, the aging process accelerates to the point
that our immune system breaks down and collapses and we simply die of old age since our
system is not strong enough to continue fighting infection, cancer, or even maintain the motor
responses in the brain.

When the telomere number goes below 5000, the motor neurons in the brain probably slow to
a point that breathing becomes so slow, about one breath per minute, that the spirit leaves the
body and does not return and the motor neurons just turn off the breathing mechanism
interconnect between the brain and the body. Death then occurs.

Foods
Diet can play an important role in lowering your cholesterol. Here are five foods that can lower your
cholesterol and protect your heart. This comes from the Mayo Clinic Staff.
Can a bowl of oatmeal help lower your cholesterol? How about a handful of walnuts or even a
baked potato topped with some heart-healthy margarine? A few simple tweaks to your diet —
like these, along with exercise and other heart-healthy habits — may be helpful in lowering your cholesterol.
1. Oatmeal, oat bran and high-fiber foods
Oatmeal contains soluble fiber, which reduces your low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the "bad,"
cholesterol. Soluble fiber is also found in such foods as kidney beans, apples, pears, barley and
prunes.
Soluble fiber can reduce the absorption of cholesterol into your bloodstream. Five to 10 grams
or more of soluble fiber a day decreases your total and LDL cholesterol. Eating 1 1/2 cups of
cooked oatmeal provides 6 grams of fiber. If you add fruit, such as bananas, you'll add about 4
more grams of fiber. To mix it up a little, try steel-cut oatmeal or cold cereal made with oatmeal
or oat bran. DO NOT ADD PROCESSED SUGARS. USE A NATURAL SWEETNER LIKE AGAVE
NECTOR OR HONEY, POSSIBLY MOLASES OR THE DARKEST BROWN SUGAR THAT YOU CAN BUY.
2. Fish and omega-3 fatty acids
Eating fatty fish can be heart healthy because of its high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which
can reduce your blood pressure and risk of developing blood clots. In people who have already
had heart attacks, fish oil — or omega-3 fatty acids — reduces the risk of sudden death.
The American Heart Association recommends eating at least two servings of fish a week. The
highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids are in Mackerel, Lake trout, Herring, Sardines, Albacore
tuna, Salmon, and Halibut.
You should bake or grill the fish to avoid adding unhealthy fats. If you don't like fish, you can
also get small amounts of omega-3 fatty acids from foods like ground flaxseed or canola oil.
You can take an omega-3 or fish oil supplement to get some of the benefits, but you won't get
other nutrients in fish, such as selenium. If you decide to take a supplement, just remember to
watch your diet and eat lean meat or vegetables in place of fish. I FEEL THAT THE BEST

SUPPLEMENT IS A WELL BALANCED “CARDIO SUPPORT” SUPPLEMENT, PRODUCED BY MANY
COMPANIES. ASK THE CLERK AT YOUR HEALTH FOOD STORE.
3. Walnuts, almonds and other nuts
Walnuts, almonds and other nuts can reduce blood cholesterol. Rich in polyunsaturated fatty
acids, walnuts also help keep blood vessels healthy.
Eating about a handful (1.5 ounces, or 42.5 grams) a day of most nuts, such as almonds,
hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, some pine nuts, pistachio nuts and walnuts, may reduce your risk
of heart disease. Just make sure the nuts you eat aren't salted or coated with sugar.
All nuts are high in calories, so a handful will do. To avoid eating too many nuts and gaining
weight, replace foods high in saturated fat with nuts. For example, instead of using cheese,
meat or croutons in your salad, add a handful of walnuts or almonds.
4. Olive oil
Olive oil contains a potent mix of antioxidants that can lower your "bad" (LDL) cholesterol but
leave your "good" (HDL) cholesterol untouched.
Try using about 2 tablespoons (23 grams) of olive oil a day in place of other fats in your diet to
get its heart-healthy benefits. To add olive oil to your diet, you can saute vegetables in it, add it
to a marinade or mix it with vinegar as a salad dressing. You can also use olive oil as a substitute
for butter when basting meat or as a dip for bread. Olive oil is high in calories, so don't eat
more than the recommended amount.
The cholesterol-lowering effects of olive oil are even greater if you choose extra-virgin olive oil,
meaning the oil is less processed and contains more heart-healthy antioxidants. But keep in
mind that "light" olive oils are usually more processed than extra-virgin or virgin olive oils and
are lighter in color, not fat or calories.
5. Foods with added plant sterols or stanols
Foods are now available that have been fortified with sterols or stanols — substances found in
plants that help block the absorption of cholesterol.
Margarines, orange juice and yogurt drinks with added plant sterols can help reduce LDL
cholesterol by more than 10 percent. The amount of daily plant sterols needed for results is at
-
COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL
43
The Heretic Speaks on Natural Health and Bad Science
least 2 grams — which equals about two 8-ounce (237-milliliter) servings of plant sterol-
fortified orange juice a day.
Plant sterols or stanols in fortified foods don't appear to affect levels of triglycerides or of high-
density lipoprotein (HDL), the "good" cholesterol.
Other changes to your diet
For any of these foods to provide their benefit, you need to make other changes to your diet
and lifestyle.
Cut back on the cholesterol and total fat — especially saturated and trans fats — that you eat.
Saturated fats, like those in meat, full-fat dairy products and some oils, raise your total
cholesterol. Trans fats, which are sometimes found in margarines and store-bought cookies,
crackers and cakes, are particularly bad for your cholesterol levels. Trans fats raise low-density
lipoprotein (LDL), the "bad," cholesterol, and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the "good,"
cholesterol.
In addition to changing your diet, keep in mind that making additional heart-healthy lifestyle
changes are key to lowering your cholesterol. Talk to your doctor about exercising, quitting
smoking and maintaining a healthy weight to help keep your cholesterol level low.
Eggs
Should you eat eggs?? This is a difficult question.
Chicken eggs are high in cholesterol, and a diet high in cholesterol can contribute to high blood
cholesterol levels. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT YOUR BODY, SPECIFICALLY THE LIVER, PRODUCES
CHLOSTEROL NATURALLY, AND THE AMOUNT DIFFERS FROM PERSON TO PERSON. However,
how much the cholesterol in your diet can increase your blood cholesterol ALSO varies from
person to person. Although eating too many eggs can increase your cholesterol, eating four egg
yolks or fewer on a weekly basis hasn't been found to increase your risk of heart disease.
When deciding whether to include eggs in your diet, consider the recommended daily limits on
cholesterol in your food:
If you are healthy, it's recommended that you limit your dietary cholesterol to less than
300 milligrams (mg) a day.
-
COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL
44
The Heretic Speaks on Natural Health and Bad Science
If you have cardiovascular disease, diabetes or a high low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or
"bad") blood cholesterol level, you should limit your dietary cholesterol to less than 200 mg
a day.
One large egg has about 186 mg of cholesterol — all of which is found in the yolk. Therefore, if
you eat an egg on a given day, it's important to limit other sources of cholesterol for the rest of
that day. Consider substituting servings of vegetables for servings of meat, or avoid high-fat
dairy products for that day. HAVE A SMOOTHIE OR A HEALTHY SHAKE FOR BREAKFAST.
If you like eggs but don't want the extra cholesterol, use only the egg whites. Egg whites
contain no cholesterol. You may also use cholesterol-free egg substitutes, which are made with
egg whites.
Should I eat meat?? Vitamin B-12- A test measures the amount of vitamin B12 in the blood. The body needs this B
vitamin to make blood cells and to maintain a healthy nervous system. Vitamin B12 is found in
animal products such as meat, shellfish, milk, cheese, and eggs. Most people who eat animal
products are not likely to develop vitamin B12 deficiency anemia unless their bodies cannot absorb it
from food. Strict vegetarians (vegans) who do not eat animal products and babies of mothers who
are strict vegetarians are at increased risk for developing anemia and should take a supplement
containing vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is stored in the liver for a year or more, which reduces a
person’s risk of anemia. Vitamin B12 is usually measured at the same time as a folic acid test,
because a lack of either one can lead to a form of anemia called megaloblastic anemia. Lack of
vitamin B12 also affects the nervous system.
Supplements for high cholesterol, upon the recommendation of your Naturopathic Physician.

Statins
Should you take Statins to lower your cholesterol? This should be discussed with your Naturopathic Physician as well as your doctor. There are many factors involved. You should have blood work done every 90 days to determine your progress with your cholesterol and possible effects on your liver. Attempt to “go natural” first, for 6 months, and if you have only marginal success, try the Statins for 6 months. Keep track of your blood work.

CANCER
Besides AIDS, CANCER IS THE MOST DEVASTATING DISEASES PLAGUING MANKIND TODAY!
From:
“The Naturopathic Healing Handbook”, By Michael Schwartz.
“Prescription for Nutritional Healing” by Phylis A Balch
and
“Beating Cancer with Nutrition”, by Patrick Quillin.
What is cancer??
Cancer is a general term for forms of new tissues that have no controlled growth patterns. These tissues, at the cellular level, are due to a growth of mutated cells. Mutated cells are generated within the body when certain cells are affectd by mutagens. Mutagens are any chemical or physical agents that cause a gene change (mutation) or speed up the rate of mutation.
Chemicals are identified as a major source of mutagens. What are all of the sources of these chemicals?? Unfortunately chemicals are everywhere – in our food, the water we drink, the air that we breathe and the substances that we rub on our skin. It is virtually impossible to eliminate them from our world at this stage of the game.
What causes cancer??
Besides claiming millions of lives each year, it is now the number one cause of death in the United States. The most frightening thing is that the numbers are growing, and cancer is getting progressively worse and worse.

Medical science tells us that researchers have absolutely no idea what causes this disease. From a physiological perspective, it can be seen that cancer is mutated or uncontrolled cellular growth (of cells that are foreign to the host).
The medical community does know what causes cancer; it is just reluctant to admit it. This reluctance to admit the truth is based upon economic and political considerations.
Medical Doctors that state that cancer can be cured or controlled through dietary changes and increased nutritional supplementation are drummed out of the medical community. To cure cancer or to admit its cause would create financial havoc in the world economy because we would not be able to change quickly enouth to a non-cancer-causing system of economics… Everything we are currently doing would become invalid. People who bring up the truth are generally disgraced or eliminated entirely. (ASK DR. IVAN DANHOF!!)
The vegetables, grains, and fruit produced in much of today’s soil, is nutrient depleted, as are a lot of the animals that graze on the grass growing in a lot of the soil. Much of our soil is sick and riddled with chemicals that are harmful to our health.
Why doesn’t the government ban these harmful chemicals?? Mostly because of economic considerations, (profit dollars). AND THERE IS ALSO THE NECESSITY TO FEED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ECONOMICALLY, WHATEVER THE COST TO OUR HEALTH.
In essence, cancer is a disease born out of many different factors including man-made chemicals AND EMF ELECTROSMOG (SEE BELOW). The chemicals AND THE ELECTROSMOG, create a disturbance at a cellular level. The chemicals, AND ELECGTROSMOG, create a disturbance at the cellular level. The chemicals, AND THE ELECTROSMOG, enter the body through the food chain, the air that we breathe, the drinks that we consume, AND THE ELECTROSMOG THAT IS PRESENT ALMOST EVERYWHERE THERE ARE HUMANS.
In an internal atmosphere, a chemical “fire” is ignited. As it burns and smolders, the “smoke” or cells of it is spread and as it spreads THROUGHOUT THE BODY, it consumes or infects everything in its path. Eventually, if left unchecked, the “fire” (CANCER) consumes and destroys the body. IT DESTROYS VITAL ORGANS AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND CAUSES HORRIBLE PAIN AND DEATH. (CONT ON PG 53.)

ELECTROSMOG
This is a summary of articles from7 books with a bibliography
at the end.
Periodically during the past few decades a story about the adverse health effects of
electromagnetic fields (EMF) or electricity has made a small splash in the public media. These
stories are quickly discounted as being untrue or hypochondriac in nature. And yet, these
stories and case studies continue to emerge as reported in one publication, "In one pooled
study that combined nine well-conducted studies from several countries, including a study from
the National Cancer Institute (NCI), a twofold excess risk of childhood leukemia was associated
with exposure to magnetic fields above 0.4 µT.
Note from Rick: the previous symbol represents 40% or .4 of 1/1,000,000 T (Teslas) and is
convertible to G (Gauss), which is a measurement of magnetic field strength. I do not know the
exact conversion. The field strength is usually quite low unless a lot of current is involved like
high voltage electric power lines. Gauss and Tesla meters can measure very small increments
of magnetic fields. THEY ARE REAL AND IT MAKES COMMON SENSE THAT THESE FIELDS CAN
HAVE AN EFFECT AT THE CELLULAR LEVEL, ESPECIALLY IN INFANTS AND SMALL CHILDREN. THE
INCREASE IN AUTISM IN THE LAST 40 YEARS IS A CLUE.

In another pooled study that combined 15 studies, a similar increased risk was seen above 0.3
µT." In yet another study, "A questionnaire survey of 2,072 people in California found that the
prevalence of ES [electro¬sensitive] within the sample group was 3.24% with ES being defined
as "Being allergic or very sensitive to getting near electrical appliances, computers, or power
lines" (Levallois 2002, response rate 58.3%). A similar questionnaire survey from the same year
in Stockholm County (Sweden), found a 15% prevalence of ES amongst the sample group, with
ES being defined as "Hypersensitivity or allergy to electric or magnetic fields" (Hillert 2002,
response rate 73%)."ii
In addition, there is now a plethora of products that are making claims of "protection,"
"shielding," or "reduction" of exposure to EMF. There is no magic pill or product that can
protect us, and though it is true that some of the products are effective, none of them address
ALL of the issues. And in fact, if misused, they can exacerbate the situation.
The general public is often overwhelmed with the technical terms and the complexity, so the
tendency has been to simply ignore the issue, though the majority of the general public
believes there is some risk in using a cell phone, people continue to use it because it is
convenient. Just as people know that "fast food" is not healthy, the convenience trumps the
risk. What the general public does not know is that the largest risk to EMF may not be the cell
phone (though it is bad there as well), but within their bedroom. At night our bodies recuperate
from the daily onslaught of stress, our cells and organs detoxify and replace themselves. If this
process is interrupted because our cell membranes are in constant stress, then healthy cells can

be damaged or have problems properly replicating, while unhealthy cells (infections, mutations,
neural disorders)i can proliferate. For example, several individuals link Lyme disease to
electromagnetic exposure as follows:
"Nodular, discoid morphoea-like, and widespread cutaneous fibroses in chronic Borrelia
infection may be provoked by trauma, surgery or electromagnetic radiation."vii
"Just as Lyme Disease sufferers using rife technology experience herx reactions following
treatment sessions, it is feasible that people with EMF [electromagnetic fielci] sensitivity are
experiencing the effects of electromagnetic fields on undiagnosed infections in their body"
"Based on the growing consensus that Lyme Disease is often misdiagnosed and is spreading
rapidly, it seems possible that EMF [electromagnetic field] sensitivity may in fact be due to
undiagnosed Lyme Disease or similar infection. According to one author, the problem of EMF
sensitivity has grown to epidemic proportions. Further evidence supporting this hypothesis is
that many people who suffer from EMF sensitivity have lots of other health problems that
suggest infection."
Research has established that our bodies communicate first bio-electrically and then bio-
chemicallyx.
In nature there are many electromagnetic fields that have no adverse effect on our bodies, That
is because natural fields are either temporally constant (same frequency) or spatially constant
(same shape), but not both. On the other hand, manmade signals by necessity for

communication are both temporally and spatially constant. According to Dr. Carlo, with
prolonged exposure, these constant signals can cause the protein vibratory receptors located
on our cell membranes to go into resonance
Once in resonance, the cell must determine whether the "signal" is a biological communication
or a foreign invader. If it is the latter, as is the case with all manmade signals, then the cell will
react by going into sympathetic lock in order to protect the cell from this perceived invasion.
Sympathetic lock prevents the cell from taking in nutrition and releasing toxins.
This cell membrane reaction triggers a cascade of events that can then manifest itself in a
variety of symptoms and diseases starting with compromising the immune system. According to
Dr. Becker, "it is well-established that exposure to any abnormal electromagnetic field produces
a stress response. If the exposure is prolonged, the stress-response system becomes exhausted,
and the competency of the immune system declines to below normal. In such a state, animals
and humans are more susceptible to cancer and infectious diseases."
Note that though the discussion here is about healthy cells, other cells within our bodies, such
as viruses and bacteria, will also respond as if under attack and proliferate in order to survive.
So how does one protect themselves and their family? The answer is by Creating Sleeping
Sanctuaries.

Read on to find the steps to take to identify and remove as much of this "electrosmog" from
your bedroom as possible. In a recent article in the Townsend Letter, the "Guided Digital
Medicine Management of Lyme Disease consists of four main components:" of which
"Component #4 addresses blocks and potential blocks to the treatment: diet, reduction of
electromagnetic pollution, emotional stress, etc."
Creating a Sleeping Sanctuary - Limiting the Electrosmog
The ultimate goal is to expose the body to as natural a background as possible. Unfortunately,
in most living environments this will require some type of protection as the external
environment is also polluted. However, we find by far that the indoor pollution (that within
your control) is quite often much higher than the external environment.
Step 1: Magnetic fields
Magnetic therapy has been established as a well-known treatment, especially for those with
inflammation; however, chronic exposure nightly can cause problems. Magnetic fields have a
direct impact to the intercellular gap junction communication.
Magnetic fields are caused whenever there is an unbalanced flow of current. They cannot easily
be shielded and will penetrate through walls, floors and ceilings. Thus, the best advice is to first
determine if you have them and then distance yourself from them.
Note from Rick: You can find them with a Gauss Meter

Appliances (refrigerators, TVs, stereos, air conditioning units) - should not be within 6ft of
sleeping area - this includes the adjacent room or room above or below)
Breaker/Fuse boxes - should not be within 6ft of sleeping area - this includes an adjacent room
Wiring errors - this requires you to investigate with a Gaussmeter. You can buy an inexpensive
Gaussmeter and then survey your sleeping area. Levels above 1 mG (milli Gauss) are considered
too high
Step 2: Electric fields
Electric fields are present whenever there is something nearby that is energized or "hot."
Electric fields have a beginning and an end, and therefore, there are ways to shield from these.
Because of the orthogonal magnetic field component of electric fields, it is suspected that the
biological interaction of electric fields also occurs at the intercellular gap junction. One of the
critical elements of exposure to electric fields is the reduction of melatonin.
The biological effects of such have been attributed to neurological and malignant growth

Electrical appliances, such as lamps, extension cords, alarm clocks or radios - do not use these at
night, if you need something near your bed, use a battery-powered device
Step 3: Radio frequency fields
This category includes everything that is used for wireless communications, from radios, to TV's,
to cell phones, to wireless internets. Human bodies are not designed to live within a world with
elevated radio frequency signals; yet we have created such an environment. Long-term
exposure to low levels of RF can cause sympathetic lock of cell membranes and tile
consequential cascade of cellular dysfunction.
Sources:
Turn OFF all wireless devices at night. If you need something at night, don't use devices that are
wireless.
Examples of wireless devices that are often found in bedrooms, that should not be present :
cordless telephones, RF baby monitors, and wireless speakers. Of these, the cordless phone base
appears to have the worst biological impact as many of them transmit a signal 24 hrs a day, 7 days
a week.
Avoid any wireless device that is digital. There are baby monitors available that are not digital.
Protection from external RF sources can best be done by erecting a canopy made from RF
reflective material over the bed. Films and fabric on windows may also be effective, but quite
often the signal is also penetrating through the walls, floors or ceilings.

Step 4: Static Magnetic fields
Metal bedsprings often have residual magnetism, either from when mined or due to repetitive
compression over time. Though magnetic therapy can be beneficial, constant exposure to
magnetic field anomalies can reduce the production of red blood cells and disturb the REM
sleep. And as with electric fields, static fields can also reduce melaton.
Sources:
Replace any bed where a liquid-filled compass slid slowly over the bed has a needle deflection
Note that cribs with metal are especially susceptible to this

One interpretation In this article we review the basis of both numeric standards and precautionary-based
approaches. While we believe that policies regarding EMF should indeed be precautionary, this
does not require or imply adoption of numeric exposure standards. We argue that cutpoints
from epidemiologic studies, which are arbitrarily chosen, should not be used as the basis for
making exposure limits due to a number of uncertainties. Establishment of arbitrary numeric
exposure limits undermines the value of both the science-based numeric EMF exposure
standards for acute exposures and precautionary approaches. The World Health Organization's draft
Precautionary Framework provides guidance for establishing appropriate public health policies for power-frequency
EMF.
Rick’s interpretation and recommendations There has been considerable scientific effort to understand the potential link between
exposures to power-frequency electric and magnetic fields (EMF) and the occurrence of cancer
and other diseases. The combination of widespread exposures, established biological effects
from acute, high-level exposures, and the possibility of leukemia (and other things like autism
and retardation) in children from low-level, chronic exposures to various EMF frequencies has
made it both necessary and difficult to develop consistent public health policies. As one would
imagine, the government and purveyors of EMF energy devices would love for this topic to just

go away.. Your best alternative is to take a DEFENSIVE POSTURE and turn off all devices that
you can at night during your rest cycle and do not use digital devices around young children.
Some people are more susceptible to EMF than others. If you feel that you are more
susceptible, follow the above instructions and if you feel better and more rested, continue to
follow. Depending upon your psychotic phobia level, you may want to take extra precautions
because of the placebo effect. If you THINK that you are safer, you are safer.
Can Cancer be prevented??
Unfortunately, cancer has been with us since ancient times and even up until the late 1800s cancer was a devastating disease, but, since the average lifespan was around the mid-50s, most people died from causes other than cancer.
With the advent of many medical breakthroughs brought about by the growing incidence of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other maladies in the western world today, our lifespan keeps lengthening, despite the increase in the incidence of cancer, heart disease and diabetes.
BUT, the answer to the question is, “IN MANY CASES, A BIG RESOUNDING YES.
NOW GO BACK AND RE-READ THE CHAPTER ON “SAFE EATING” AND BEGIN EATING SAFELY. YOU MIGHT EVEN TAKE STEPS TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM AS MUCH EXPOSURE TO ELECTROSMOG AS YOU CAN. YOU MUST ALSO LOWER YOUR STRESS LEVEL.

CHAPTER 2
PROPER DIET AND EXERCISE FOR OVERALL BETTER HEALTH
Balance your diet, ease off of and cut back on red meat. Primarily eat grass fed meat that has had no steroids or hormones added, and was raised organically.
Eat as much organically grown foods as possible, eliminate GMOed stuff from your diet, and get plenty of exercise.
This chapter is based upon several books including the book by Patrick Quillin, PhD, RD, CNS
“SAFE EATING”, A Practical Four-Point Program to lower your intake of Toxins and
Increase your Tolerance of Toxins You Can’t Avoid”. It was published in 1990 by M. Evans &
Co., New York, NY.
Wow, what a great book. Everyone should OWN a copy and use it for research. He even
addresses the OTHER SIDE of supplements and addresses them from a balanced perspective.
He starts from the perspective of EVERYTHING is affected in one way or another by chemical
fertilizers, preservatives, growth hormones, steroids, insecticides, herbicides, and other toxins

that are potentially very dangerous, and, to some people, life threatening. This book has so
much good to great information that it is impossible to summarize, but I will try.
I also use my own experience, some common sense, several articles from the internet, and I
stress the principle of “IMPROVE YOUR LIFESTYLE TO INCLUDE EATING HEALTHIER, BY MAKING
BETTER BAD CHOICES”. Then, as time goes on, you will improve your diet as your overall health
improves.
