Overlooked Causes and the Prevention

About the Book

This book will attempt to expose, delineate and document the sometimes overlooked and often ignored causes of three major life-threatening chronic diseases- CANCER, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS – as well as providing a therapeutic basis for their prevention. Like the recent U. S. monetary meltdown, the cost of treating these diseases borders on bankrupting Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance companies. Effective lower cost alternative and complementary therapies will be discussed.

CANCER- has become an epidemic in the United States. One person in the U.S. dies of this dread disease every minute, over 1,400 per day, and over 50,000 a year. Last year, there were over 1,500,000 newly diagnosed cases of cancer in the U.S.  The approved, conventional treatments of cancer- surgery, radiation and chemotherapy- offer no real assurance of cure. Many billions are spent on cancer treatment – again, without success or the promise of cure. Proportionately, little money is spent seeking the root cause of cancer, and on preventative therapies that can reduce the growing cancer ridden population. This book will explain reason this came about, and how to correct this situation.

CADIOVASCULAR DISEASE- A number of clinical researchers in England and in the United States have reported finding strange microbial bodies in the hearts of patients who have died of coronary disease. The microbial bodies have been found to be particularly numerous in blood vessels that have ruptured. This phenomenon and how it may be successfully treated will be revealed in this book., offering a way to prevent deaths from cardiovascular disease.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS- MS of all the chronic, life-threatening diseases is perhaps the most difficult to study and to follow clinically. Orthodox MS therapies have consistently proven ineffective over any reasonable period of time, and in many cases highly toxic. This book will discuss alternative orthomolecular therapies generally unavailable in the United States. These have been shown to be more effective and well tolerated without serious toxic side effects. Their mechanisms of action against MS will also be discussed.
