THE PROGRAM OF BIOLOGICAL TREATMENTS OF ARTHRITIS: WITHDRAWAL OF DRUGS

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Because conventional drugs used in medical treatment of arthritis are, as a rule, only aimed at masking and suppressing the symptoms, they naturally have no place in a program of biological treatments. Pain is an important symptom, a signal, which is initiated by the body’s own defensive mechanism to attract necessary help and assistance for its healing activity. To suppress and mask pain, without finding out why it is there and trying to eliminate the underlying causes of it, is contrary to the philosophy of biological medicine. It is of vital importance to realize that the various symptoms of disease, such as pain, swelling, stiffness, fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, etc. are not negative phenomena which have to be eliminated and suppressed, but they are positive, constructive symptoms initiated by the body’s own healing mechanism in its effort to restore health. When this is clearly understood, then the wise doctor will not waste his own and his patient’s time masking the symptoms and providing temporary relief. He will adopt a positive attitude which will aim at eliminating and correcting the underlying causative factors of arthritis and supporting the body’s own recuperative powers.

Even such a drug as cortisone, although it will temporarily activate and stabilize the chemical balance of the tissues, will never correct the initial disturbance and will eventually cause more damage by undermining and impairing the body’s own corrective measures. Therefore, cortisone, like any other toxic drug, should be used only in a situation of extreme emergency.

Consequently, the first rule of a biological program is complete withdrawal of all drugs. In the great majority of cases this presents no problems. Naturally, withdrawal of pain-killing drugs will cause a certain amount of discomfort for the first few days, but on a new biological program the patient soon will be pain-free, even without pain-killing drugs.

The consensus of opinion of doctors who use biological methods in their practice is that the prospects of achieving a betterment and cure of arthritis with the help of biological treatments is in inverse relationship to the extent and intensity of the drug treatment the patient received previously. Prolonged use of drugs will eventually suppress and break down the body’s own defense and healing mechanisms causing severe chemical and hormonal imbalance. The disease will then be pushed further and further towards the condition where it will be completely incurable.

Therefore, in order to obtain lasting results the withdrawal of all drugs is imperative.

ARTHRITIS BEATEN TODAY: CMO AND OTHER AILMENTS

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

How is it, people ask, that CMO can be of benefit for so many different ailments? To understand it, think of penicillin and how many different kinds of infections that general antibiotic cures. It has turned out that CMO is so much more than just an arthritis remedy. It is a general immunomodulator that has proved beneficial for nearly any ailment that has any autoimmune factors involved. And there are dozens of them. We’re talking about ailments like:

Fibromyalgia, emphysema and asthma, Crohn’s disease, prostate inflammation, lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis, Psoriasis, carpal tunnel syndrome, Sjogren’s syndrome, scleroderma, TMJ, neck, back, and foot pain, Behcet’s syndrome, macular degeneration, tension headaches, migraine headaches, cluster headaches, Reiter’s syndrome, myasthenia gravis, hypertension, sarcoidosis, sciatica, tendinitis, tennis elbow,” diabetes, even multiple sclerosis, bursitis … and more.

And those are just the ones we have specifically heard something about. Yet, for a long while, we were very reluctant to discuss any diseases other than arthritis. We had no formal studies for them. And we were concerned about credibility. We were not about to take the irresponsible position of recommending CMO for ailments on which we had so little data, despite reports of having literally saved several patients from certain death and a few others from suicide.

Initially, we didn’t have an inkling that CMO would prove to be valuable for ailments other than arthritis. The tiny journal article describing the discovery at the National Institutes of Health spoke only of a mouse study related only to arthritis. We examined that study, did some preliminary explorations, and then conducted our human clinical study, but only for arthritis. That’s all we knew. But we were soon to learn that a great number of other ailments with autoimmune factors as part of their makeup would also respond favourably with CMO.

The first hint we got that it might benefit other ailments came when we received a phone call from one of the first physicians using CMO regularly in his arthritis protocol. In a rather puzzled voice he asked, “What effect does CMO have on emphysema?”

We were stumped, so we decided to put the ball back in his court and responded with, “Why do you ask?” The doctor went on to explain that he saw a dramatic and measurable improvement (about 40%) in the lung capacity of an emphysema patient after treating her with CMO for her arthritis.

When we replied that we had no experience or data regarding CMO and emphysema, he asked if we thought it might help another patient with severe emphysema. We explained that we didn’t know, but we didn’t see how our nontoxic natural substance could do any harm. So the doctor decided to try it.

The patient had been on oxygen 24 hours a day for nearly two years and she left her bed only to go to the bathroom and to have dinner with her family a couple times a week. Amazingly, after five days of CMO she was breathing so well she no longer needed oxygen, and a week after that she was out driving around doing her own shopping again. We were all astounded!

Marie, a great grandmother now in her eighties, is another perfect example of multiple benefits. She took CMO for her arthritis long before we had any idea it could help her emphysema as well. Her arthritis was so severe a good night’s sleep was next to impossible. And that brought on tension headaches that would greet her every morning.

She had suffered for years with emphysema. During her next regular checkup her doctor was amazed by the fact her arthritis seemed to have disappeared. But he was even more surprised when her x-rays showed a dramatic change in her lungs. The emphysema was in remission. Her breathing was the best it had been in several years.

There had been still another problem. Over the past five years she had been rushed to the hospital several times with her tongue so swollen she couldn’t swallow. Each time the emergency room staff treated it as an allergic reaction to food, probably citrus. Her doctor prescribed various medications but the attacks continued. Now, two years after her one time treatment with CMO, she’s never had another attack — even though she discontinued all the prescribed medications long ago. So here’s a case where CMO not only cured her arthritis, but her emphysema, her headaches, and her citrus sensitivity as well. She has recently ordered another bottle of CMO as a safeguard. She never wants to suffer like that again.

Still, it was a puzzle how CMO was affecting emphysema. We know the chronic inflammatory process in emphysema can swell lung tissue. The irritation can also causes fluid to seep into the areola (spaces) where oxygen is absorbed. Both the swelling and the fluids reduce a lung’s capacity to absorb oxygen from the air. Almost all chronic (long-duration) ailments do develop autoimmune factors. We finally concluded that CMO, as an autoimmune modulator, was probably intervening in the inflammatory process and reducing both the swelling and the seepage. Chronic inflammation is a significant factor in emphysema patients.

It was only a few days later that we received the same kind of inquiry from another doctor about systemic lupus erythematosus. Well, we know that lupus definitely has autoimmune components. In fact it’s sometimes classified as an “allied rheumatic disorder” or as a “connective tissue disease.” However, lupus is very difficult to treat. Even antimalarials and intravenous steroids often bring only little relief. So we were surprised at the splendid results the doctor got with CMO. We have since received other favourable reports. We kept getting similar reports regarding one disease after another, and soon it became obvious that CMO is a general immunomodulator that could benefit just about any ailment with autoimmune factors.

Initially we were very reluctant to discuss how CMO benefited other diseases. We were concerned about credibility. We were already battling the “charlatanism” attitude over arthritis alone. Most conventional doctors are resistant to change. We didn’t want CMO to take on the character of some old medicine peddler’s snake oil — “a cure for everything that ails you.” That could harm our credibility more than ever.

And, of course, it’s not a cure-all. But we do look forward to the day when formal CMO clinical studies for these other diseases can be made. It will also be equally interesting to see how well CMO functions in combination with other therapies against many other ailments.

Now let’s look at how CMO may specifically be of benefit to some of these other ailments individually. (Check the index regarding any ailment for which you may want to find information quickly.)

You’re now about to read about a great number of so-called “incurable” diseases.
