Choose a day like Saturday for the cleanse, or one where you can rest the next day. You will need to be near a bathroom for the flush.

Take no medicines, vitamins or pills that you can do without; they could prevent success. Stop any parasite program or kidney herbs the day before.

Eat a simple, preferably alkalizing (salad, steamed veggies, fruit, baked potato) no-fat breakfast and lunch (no milk or butter). This allows bile to build up and develop pressure in the liver. Higher pressure pushes out more stones.

Do not eat or drink (a little water is ok) after 2 o’clock . If you break this rule you could feel quite ill later or prevent success.

Sometime before 6:00 , prepare your Epsom salts. and 3 cups water in a jar and shake vigorously to dissolve salts. This makes 4 servings ¾ cup each. Set aside, you can refrigerate if desired.

6:00 PM

Drink one ¾ cup serving of the Epsom salts. This will cause a laxative effect and open the bile ducts. You may also add 1/8 tsp. powdered vitamin C to improve the taste. You may also drink a few mouthfuls of water afterwards or rinse your mouth. Get out the Sun Flower Seed Oil and grapefruit to warm up.

8:00 PM

Have another ¾ cup serving of Epsom salts. You haven’t eaten since two o’clock , but you shouldn’t feel hungry. Get your bedtime chores done & be ready for bed. The timing is critical for success; don’t be more than 10 minutes early or late.

9:45 PM

Pour ½ cup Sun Flower Seed Oil into jar (measured). Squeeze grapefruit by hand into measuring cup. Remove pulp with a fork. You should have at least ½ cup juice, up to ¾ cup is best. You may top it with lemon juice.

Add this to Sun Flower Seed Oil. Close lid tightly and shake until watery (only fresh grapefruit does this).

Now visit the bathroom one or more times, even if it makes you late for your ten o’clock drink. don’t be more than 15 minutes late.

10:00 PM

Drink the potion you have mixed. Drinking through a large plastic straw helps it go down easier. Some like the taste of this mixture! Take it to your bedside of you want, but drink it standing up. Get it down within 5 minutes (15 minutes for weak or elderly persons).

Lie down immediately. You might fail to get stones out if you don’t. The sooner you lie down, the more stones you will get out. Be ready for bed ahead of time. Don’t clean up the kitchen. As soon as the drink is down, walk to your bed and lie down flat on your back with your head up high on the pillow. You can also lie on your right side. Try to think about what is happening in the liver and keep still for at least 20 minutes. You may feel a train of stones traveling along the bile ducts like marbles. There is no pain or discomfort because the bile duct valves are open (thanks to the Epsom salts!). Go to sleep. You may fail to get stones out if you don’t.

Next Morning.

Upon awakening take your third dose of Epsom salts. If you have indigestion or nausea, wait until it is gone before drinking the Epsom salts. You may go back to bed. Don’t take this drink before 6:00 AM .

2 Hours Later

Take your fourth & last drink of ¾ cup Epsom salt mixture. You may go back to bed.

After 2 more hours you may eat. Start with fresh fruit juice. Half an hour later eat fruit. One hour later you may eat regular food, but keep it light. By supper you should feel recovered.

How Well Did You Do?

Expect diarrhea in the morning. Use a flashlight to look for gallstones in the toilet with the bowel movement. Look for the green kind since this is proof that they are genuine gallstones, not food residue. Only bile from the liver is pea green. The bowel movement sinks but gallstones float because of the cholesterol inside. Count them all roughly, whether tan or green. You will need to total 2,000 stones before the liver is clean enough to rid you of allergies or bursitis or upper back pains permanently. The first cleanse may rid you of them for a few days, but as the stones from the rear travel forward, they give you the same symptoms again. You may repeat cleanses at two week intervals. Never cleanse when you are ill.

HPS editors note: When I did my first Dr. Clarks liver cleanse I immediately dropped over 200 pea size green and tan stones, and when I examined them I was shocked. They crushed in my fingers and what I found was pure fat, pure cholesterol, hundreds of them. Also in my second liver cleanse I had the same experience.

Sometimes, the bile ducts are full of cholesterol crystals that did not form into round stones. They appear as “chaff” floating on the top of the toilet water. It may be tan colored, harboring millions of tiny white crystals. Cleansing this chaff is just as important as purging the stones.

How safe is the liver cleanse? It is very safe. The writer’s opinion is based on over 500 cases, including many persons in their seventies and eighties. None went to the hospital; none even reported pain. However, it can make you feel quite ill for one or two days afterwards, although in every one of these cases the maintenance parasite program had been neglected. This is why the instructions direct you to complete the parasite and kidney rinse program first.

The Mechanism of the Liver/Gallbladder Flush
1. Sun Flower Seed oil stimulates bile productions in the liver.
2. Bile has to flow down to the gallbladder.
3. Lemon or grapefruit juice contracts the gallbladder.
4. Bile in the gallbladder serves as a lubricant and provides pressure to push out stones when the gallbladder contracts.
5. Epsom salts relax the bile duct (if you choose to use them).

In essence, you squeeze the stones out. However, a congested liver usually results in sluggish bile flow, which can cause sleep problems or nausea and will reduce the effectiveness of the gallbladder flush. If the problem is severe enough, the gallbladder flush may not even work at all because not enough bile will flow into the gallbladder to provide pressure to push out the stones. A decongested liver is essential for a good gallbladder flush.

These are suggestions and informational only. Always consult your doctor or qualified health care practitioner.

Ingredients and amounts

-        Fresh squeezed organic lemon juice : 2 TBSP (the lemon should preferably be ORGANIC )

-        Organic maple syrup :   1 or 2 TBSP (preferably grade A )

-        Organic Cayenne pepper :    1/8  of a ¼ TSP

-        Filtered or spring water :  12 OZ

Mix all the above, and drink slowly.

Tips

+ The amount of maple syrup is optional. U can reduce the amount, but DO NOT OVER DO it.

+ The amount of lemon on the other hand cannot be increased or reduced. 2 TBSP is the amount, and it is very important to stick with it.

+ The same is for water. It is important to mix the above ingredients with 12 OZ of water.

+ u can drink as many glasses as u like. Basically whenever u feel hungry u can make a new glass, and drink it. But each time u need to make a portion with the amount mentioned above.

How long should u do the cleanse?

The minimum time is 11 days, but u can continue doing it for weeks or even months. The longest time someone has done it is 18 months.

Tip

+ DO NOT STOP BEFORE 11 DAYS, since it will create difficulties for the body, and will make u sick.

Other sweeteners ?

The only sweetener that is allowed during this cleanse is MAPLE SYRUP. No sugar, no honey, no molasses, no agave, no apple juice, no stevia. Just MAPLE SYRUP.

Preparation

To have a more effective and pleasant experience it’s better to prepare ur body, so u will not go through a deep emotional experience or either physical discomfort. So lighten up your diet and food intake a few weeks before u start ur cleanse. By doing this u will prepare ur body not only emotionally, but also, physically. Ur stomach will be empty, and will make it easier for the body to go through the cleansing process.

Laxative teas, Sea Salt mixture, other Herbal Teas, and Water

During the time of the cleanse u can drink laxative teas, drink herbal teas, and water.

Vitamin, Mineral, and Supplements

No. Let the body does its job to go back to its natural way of being. It knows what to do, and does not need anything.

Other Foods

No. The only food is the lemonade that u make urself. Do not cheat. U will not need any other food. U r getting all u need by being on this diet.  And u will have more energy and clarity than u have ever had before.

Exercise

Yes. 30 min of cardio exercise. Also, body movement. Practices such as yoga, tai chi and chi gung, five Tibetan rites, walking, deep, connected breathing are all effective to keep u on track, feel good, and not lose ur faith while doing the cleanse.

Ending the cleanse

To end the cleanse, and go back to ur regular diet it is very important to be patience. If u decide to end ur cleanse after 11 days u need to start drinking apple juice for 3 days. Just drink the juice and water. Nothing else. After 3 days, start with soups. Then introduce some solid fruits and veggies to ur body, and stay on that for a few days. And little by little add some cooked food to ur diet.

Follow the guideline exactly, and u will have a pleasant experience.

Typically, the less processed and heat-treated the food is, the more nutritious and healthier it is going to be.

Nevertheless, most people prefer to cook their food, at least occasionally. When you do, you’re going to cook with some form of oil.

The question is, what’s the best, healthiest type of oil to use when cooking?

Dr. Rudi Moerck has studied oils for a long time, and offers some intriguing insights in this interview.

Cooking with Tropical Oils – Your Healthiest Alternative

I have, for many years now, recommended coconut oil on the basis and the supposition that it doesn’t contain much unsaturated fat. As a result, it’s not going to be damaged by heat and create trans fats like some other oils. (Another tropical oil that is very similar is palm oil.)

Dr. Moerck agrees, saying:

“I would say that coconut oil is okay to cook with. It’s a saturated fat.  Your body will burn it as fuel or it will get rid of it some other way. It won’t store it in your body.. So from that point of view, if you’re going to use oil then that’s a good one to use.”

Interestingly, unlike carbohydrates, which can also deliver quick energy to your body, coconut oil does this without producing an insulin spike. Yes, it acts like a carbohydrate, but without any of the debilitating insulin-related effects associated with long-term high carbohydrate consumption.

But that’s merely the beginning.

Earlier this week I published an entire special report on the health benefits of coconut oil, which include:

• Promoting heart health
• Promoting weight loss, when needed
• Supporting your immune system health
• Supporting a healthy metabolism
• Providing you with an immediate energy source
• Keeping your skin healthy and youthful looking
• Supporting the proper functioning of your thyroid gland

Part of what makes coconut oil such a healthful oil for cooking is that 50 percent of the fat content in coconut oil is a fat rarely found in nature called lauric acid.  This is also one of the features that distinguishes coconut oil from other saturated fats.

Your body converts lauric acid into monolaurin, which has potent anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-protozoa properties.

In addition, coconut oil is about 2/3 medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), also called medium-chain triglycerides or MCTs.  These types of fatty acids also produce a host of health benefits.

Best of all, coconut oil is stable enough to resist heat-induced damage, which you cannot say for other oils. In fact, it’s so stable you can even use if for frying (although I don’t recommend frying your food for a number of health reasons).

I recommend using coconut oil in lieu of every other oil, whether your recipe calls for butter, olive oil, vegetable oil or margarine.

Important, New Information about Olive Oil

Extra-virgin olive oil is a good monounsaturated fat that is also well-known for its health benefits. It’s a staple in healthful diets such as Mediterranean-style diets.

However, it’s important to realize it is NOT good for cooking. It should really only be used cold, typically drizzled on salads and other food.

Due to its chemical structure and a large amount of unsaturated fats, cooking makes extra-virgin olive oil very susceptible to oxidative damage. However, during this interview I learned that extra-virgin olive oil has a significant draw-back even when used cold – it’s still extremely perishable!

As it turns out, extra-virgin olive oil contains chlorophyll that accelerates decomposition and makes the oil go rancid rather quickly.

In fact, Dr. Moerck actually prefers using almost tasteless, semi-refined olive oil rather than extra-virgin olive oil for this reason.

If you’re like most people, you’re probably leaving your bottle of olive oil right on the counter, opening and closing it multiple times a week. Remember, any time the oil is exposed to air and/or light, it oxidizes, and as it turns out, the chlorophyll in extra virgin olive oil accelerates the oxidation of the unsaturated fats.

Clearly, consuming spoiled oil (of any kind) will likely do more harm than good.

To protect the oil, Dr. Moerck recommends treating it with the same care as you would other sensitive omega-3 oils:

• Keep in a cool, dark place
• Purchase smaller bottles rather than larger to ensure freshness
• Immediately replace the cap after each pour

To help protect extra virgin olive oil from oxidation, Dr. Moerck suggests putting one drop of astaxanthin into the bottle. You can purchase astaxanthin, which is an extremely potent antioxidant, in soft gel capsules. Just prick it with a pin and squeeze the capsule into the oil.

The beautiful thing about using astaxanthin instead of another antioxidant such as vitamin E, is that it is naturally red, whereas vitamin E is colorless, so you can tell the oil still has astaxanthin in it by its color.

As the olive oil starts to pale in color, you know it’s time to throw it away.

You can also use one drop of lutein in your olive oil. Lutein imparts an orange color and will also protect against oxidation. Again, once the orange color fades, your oil is no longer protected against rancidity and should be tossed.

This method is yet another reason for buying SMALL bottles. If you have a large bottle, you may be tempted to keep it even though it has begun to oxidize.

The Worst Cooking Oils of All

Polyunsaturated fats are the absolute WORST oils to use when cooking because these omega-6-rich oils are highly susceptible to heat damage.

This category includes common vegetable oils such as:

• Corn
• Soy
• Safflower
• Canola

Damaged omega-6 fats are disastrous to your health, and are responsible for far more health problems than saturated fats ever were.

Trans fat is the artery-clogging, highly damaged omega-6 polyunsaturated fat that is formed when vegetable oils are hardened into margarine or shortening.

I strongly recommend never using margarine or shortening when cooking. I guarantee you you’re already getting far too much of this damaging fat if you consume any kind of processed foods, whether it be potato chips, pre-made cookies, or microwave dinners…

Trans fat is the most consumed type of fat in the US, despite the fact that there is no safe level of trans fat consumption, according to a report from the Institute of Medicine.

Trans fat raises your LDL (bad cholesterol) levels while lowering your HDL (good cholesterol) levels, which of course is the complete opposite of what you want. In fact, trans fats – as opposed to saturated fats — have been repeatedly linked to heart disease. They can also cause major clogging of your arteries, type 2 diabetes and other serious health problems.

Personally I don’t cook very much but when I do I use our Pure Virgin Coconut Oil as it is the most resistant to heating damage, but also a great source of medium chained triglycerides and lauric acid.

So, cleaning these oils out of your kitchen cupboard is definitely recommended if you value your health.

Everything on this planet is comprised of energy and information. Humans experience varying levels of physical, mental and spiritual health depending upon how energy flows within their system. When one maintains their bio-energy system in a flowing, open and balanced way, they will accordingly experience health and longevity. Energetic Balancing is a way to increase life-force (or chi) and correct imbalanced frequencies which impede healthy flow of energy and decrease life force. Research on biofeedback shows that stress creates energetic imbalances and obstructions which can affect any system in the body-mind. One avenue of healing, therefore, can be through stress reduction – more specifically defined as balancing of energetic frequencies; Energetic Balancing.

The Quantum Resonance/Prayer System for energetic balancing is one such modality. This advanced program comes from a quantum physics technology and uses a computer to broadcast the healing frequencies of prayer and healing information to you continuously, 24/7. Since our bodies are always emitting electrical impulses in a heat formate, the program can mathematically communicate information to your consciousness in the same language which the body speaks. We use information from you and unique to you to create an “energy signature” which establishes communication with you. The QRPS sends corrective frequencies that attempt to eliminate stress potentials that can be present with certain imbalances. When inner stress is released, the individual’s own natural healing abilities help improve harmonic resonance, resulting in increased physical mental and/or spiritual health. Participants frequently report significant decrease in physical discomfort/blockages and increase in flexibility, relaxation, physical and emotional well-being.

Our energetic balancing system may be the most advanced and effective subtle energy alignment technology available in the world today. Something like a modern Tibetan prayer wheel, it generates and broadcasts millions of prayer frequencies directly to you. Included is a huge spectrum of balancing frequencies designed for optimum health and advancement in personal growth. It can effect the energy of the unconscious on all levels, in an attempt to create balance in the entire system, thereby making it possible for the body to heal itself.

Oftentimes, one will witness a retracing process where the layers of stress and imbalance are “released” away and symptoms may arise in a clearing of old unwanted toxicity. This can be experienced as physical or emotional symptoms and can last for varying periods of time. For some the balancing takes place gradually over time and is quite subtle. Every experience is individual and unique, but the result can be greater levels of well-being on all levels.

Ultimately, the purpose of the Quantum Prayer System is to establish harmonic resonance within the body, so the individual may experience the highest quality of vitality of body, mind and spirit, on all levels. It is up to the individual to take a leap in consciousness to a higher level of understanding and awareness to utilize their own intrinsic healing power within. It is important to say that no technology or modality is a fix-all and personal responsibility; caring responsibly for the physical body, through healthful lifestyle and cleansing is important and can only enhance the support of the Quantum Prayer System. Information = “proportions of polarities” made up of: 1. pattern 2. shapes 3. forms When these 3 dimension are present than information is flowing and reshaping itself.

A pathogen (from Greek πάθος pathos “suffering, passion”, and γἰγνομαι (γεν-) gignomai (gen-) “I give birth to” a infectious agent, or more commonly germ, is a biological agent that causes disease to its host. There are several substrates and pathways whereby pathogens can invade a host; the principal pathways have different episodic time frames, but soil contamination has the longest or most persistent potential for harboring a pathogen.

The body contains many natural orders of defense against some of the common pathogens (such as Pneumocystis) in the form of the human immune system and by some “helpful” bacteria present in the human body’s normal flora. However, if the immune system or “good” bacteria is damaged in any way (such as by chemotherapy, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or antibiotics being taken to kill other pathogens), pathogenic bacteria that were being held at bay can proliferate and cause harm to the host. Such cases are called opportunistic infection.

Some pathogens (such as the bacterium Yersinia pestis, which may have caused the Black Plague, the Variola virus, and the Malaria protozoa) have been responsible for massive numbers of casualties and have had numerous effects on afflicted groups. Of particular note in modern times is HIV, which is known to have infected several million humans globally, along with the Influenza virus. Today, while many medical advances have been made to safeguard against infection by pathogens, through the use of vaccination, antibiotics, and fungicide, pathogens continue to threaten human life. Social advances such as food safety, hygiene, and water treatment have reduced the threat from some pathogens.

Not all pathogens are negative. In entomology, pathogens are one of the “Three P’s” (predators, pathogens, and parasitoids) that serve as natural or introduced biological controls to suppress arthropod pest populations.

Below is a list of different types of notable pathogens as categorized by their structural characteristics, and some of their known and predicted effects on infected host (person).

Viral

Pathogenic viruses are mainly those of the families of: Adenoviridae, Picornaviridae, Herpesviridae, Hepadnaviridae, Flaviviridae, Retroviridae, Orthomyxoviridae, Paramyxoviridae, Papovaviridae, Polyomavirus, Rhabdoviridae, Togaviridae. Some notable pathogenic viruses cause: smallpox, influenza, mumps, measles, chickenpox, ebola, and rubella. Viruses typically range between 20-300 nanometers in length.

Bacterial

Although the vast majority of bacteria are harmless or beneficial, a few pathogenic bacteria can cause infectious diseases. The most common bacterial disease is tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which affects about 2 million people mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. Pathogenic bacteria contribute to other globally important diseases, such as pneumonia, which can be caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus and Pseudomonas, and foodborne illnesses, which can be caused by bacteria such as Campylobacter and Salmonella. Pathogenic bacteria also cause infections such as tetanus, typhoid fever, diphtheria, syphilis and leprosy. Bacteria can often be killed by antibiotics. They typically range between 1-5 micrometers in length.

Fungal

Fungi comprise a eukaryotic kingdom of microbes that are usually saprophytes but can cause diseases in humans, animals and plants. Fungi are the most common cause of diseases in crops and other plants. Life threatening fungal infections in humans most often occur in immunocompromised patients or vulnerable people with a weakend immune system, although fungi are common problems in the immunocompetent population as the causative agents of skin, nail or yeast infections. Most antibiotics that function on bacterial pathogens cannot be used to treat fungal infections due to the fact that fungi and their hosts both have eukaryotic cells. Most clinical fungicides belong to the azole group. The typical fungal spore size is 1-40 micrometer in length.

Prions are infectious pathogens that do not contain nucleic acids. Protein malformations caused by prion infections are implicated in scrape, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease) and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.

Potency

One hypothesis regarding pathogens states that the longer a pathogen can survive outside of the body, the more dangerous it can be to a potential host. For example, the smallpox virus (variola virus) can survive outside the human body for approximately 885 days. It is also one of the most deadly pathogenic viruses, as it kills between 20-50% of the people it infects. The tuberculosis bacterium kills 1 in 5 of the people it infects, but only survives 244 days outside of its host. However, research into the basis of the ability of pathogens to cause disease provides evidence from multiple and diverse species of the existence of pathogenicity or virulence factors, encoded within the pathogens’ genetic material, that facilitate microbes to cause disease.

In countries that have higher sanitation standards, pathogens cannot survive for as long outside of the human. This is seen as encouragement to mutations to the pathogen which would make it less deadly, as such mutations would allow the pathogen to survive in the host for longer periods of time,

Main article: Transmission (medicine)

One of the primary pathways by which food or water become contaminated is from the release of untreated sewage into a drinking water supply or onto cropland, with the result that people who eat or drink contaminated sources become infected. Even in developed countries there are periodic system failures resulting in a sanitary sewer overflow.

Examples of major human pathogens

• Mycobacterium tuberculosis — the causative agent of most cases of tuberculosis
• Mycobacterium leprae — the bacterium that causes leprosy (Hansen’s disease)
• Yersinia pestis — pneumonic, and the notorious bubonic plagues (aka “Black Death“)
• Rickettsia prowazekii — the etiologic agent of typhus fever
• Bartonella spp.

** There is a lot of misunderstanding and fear regarding prostate problems. From the holistic view, prostate issues are an adhesion/fungus growth cause by Acidic conditions and lack of movement of urogenital era.

The prostate literally mean “one who stands before”, “protector”, “guardian” is a compound tubuloalveolar exocrine gland of the male reproductive system in most mammals.

In 2002, female paraurethral glands, or Skene’s glands, were officially renamed the female prostate by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology.

The prostate differs considerably among species anatomically, chemically, and physiologically.

Function

The function of the prostate is to store and secrete a slightly alkaline fluid, milky or white in appearance, that usually constitutes 20-30% of the volume of the semen along with spermatozoa and seminal vesicle fluid. The alkalinity of semen helps neutralize the acidity of the vaginal tract, prolonging the lifespan of sperm. The alkalinization of semen is primarily accomplished through secretion from the seminal vesicles. The prostatic fluid is expelled in the first ejaculate fractions, together with most of the spermatozoa. In comparison with the few spermatozoa expelled together with mainly seminal vesicular fluid, those expelled in prostatic fluid have better motility, longer survival and better protection of the genetic material (DNA).

The prostate also contains some smooth muscles that help expel semen during ejaculation.

Secretions

Prostatic secretions vary among species. They are generally composed of simple sugars and are often slightly alkaline.

In human prostatic secretions, the protein content is less than 1% and includes proteolytic enzymes, prostatic acid phosphatase, and prostate-specific antigen. The secretions also contain zinc with a concentration 500-1,000 times the concentration in blood.

Regulation

To work properly, the prostate needs male hormones (androgens), which are responsible for male sex characteristics.

The main male hormone is testosterone, which is produced mainly by the testicles. Some male hormones are produced in small amounts by the adrenal glands. However, it is dihydrotestosterone that regulates the prostate.

Development

The prostatic part of the urethra develops from the pelvic (middle) part of the urogenital sinus (endodermal origin). Endodermal outgrowths arise from the prostatic part of the urethra and grow into the surrounding mesenchyme. The glandular epithelium of the prostate differentiates from these endodermal cells, and the associated mesenchyme differentiates into the dense stroma and the smooth muscle of the prostate. The prostate glands represent the modified wall of the proximal portion of the male urethra and arises by the 9th week of embryonic life in the development of the reproductive system. Condensation of mesenchyme, urethra and Wolffian ducts gives rise to the adult prostate gland, a composite organ made up of several glandular and non-glandular components tightly fused within a common capsule.

Female prostate gland

The Skene’s gland, also known as the paraurethral gland, found in females, is homologous to the prostate gland in males. However, evolutionarily, the uterus is in the same position as the prostate gland. In 2002 the Skene’s gland was officially renamed the prostate by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology.

The female prostate, like the male prostate, secretes PSA and levels of this antigen rise in the presence of carcinoma of the gland. The gland also expels fluid, like the male prostate, during orgasm.

A healthy human prostate is classically said to be slightly larger than a walnut. In actuality, it is approximately the size of a kiwifruit. The mean weight of the “normal” prostate in adult males is about 11 grams, usually ranging between 7 and 16 grams. It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder and can be felt during a rectal exam. It is the only exocrine organ located in the midline in humans and similar animals.

The ducts are lined with transitional epithelium.

Within the prostate, the urethra coming from the bladder is called the prostatic urethra and merges with the two ejaculatory ducts. The prostate is sheathed in the muscles of the pelvic floor, which contract during the ejaculatory process.

The prostate can be divided in two ways: by zone, or by lobe.

The “zone” classification is more often used in pathology. The idea of “zones” was first proposed by McNeal in 1968. McNeal found that the relatively homogeneous cut surface of an adult prostate in no way resembled “lobes” and thus led to the description of “zones.”

The prostate gland has four distinct glandular regions, two of which arise from different segments of the prostatic urethra:

This specimen was almost 7 centimeters long with a volume of about 60 cubic centimetres on transrectal ultrasound and was removed during a Hryntschak procedure or transvesical prostatectomy (removal of the prostate through the bladder) for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

The “lobe” classification is more often used in anatomy.

Prostatitis

Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland. There are primarily four different forms of prostatitis, each with different causes and outcomes. Two relatively uncommon forms, acute prostatitis and chronic bacterial prostatitis, are treated with antibiotics (category I and II, respectively). Chronic non-bacterial prostatitis or male chronic pelvic pain syndrome (category III), which comprises about 95% of prostatitis diagnoses, is treated by a large variety of modalities including alpha blockers, phytotherapy, physical therapy, psychotherapy, antihistamines, anxiolytics, nerve modulators, surgery, and more. More recently, a combination of trigger point and psychological therapy has proved effective for category III prostatitis as well. Category IV prostatitis, relatively uncommon in the general population, is a type of leukocytosis.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) occurs in older men; the prostate often enlarges to the point where urination becomes difficult. Symptoms include needing to urinate often (frequency) or taking a while to get started (hesitancy). If the prostate grows too large, it may constrict the urethra and impede the flow of urine, making urination difficult and painful and, in extreme cases, completely impossible.

BPH can be treated with medication, a minimally invasive procedure or, in extreme cases, surgery that removes the prostate. Minimally invasive procedures include Transurethral needle ablation of the prostate (TUNA) and Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT). These outpatient procedures may be followed by the insertion of a temporary Prostatic stent, to allow normal voluntary urination, without exacerbating irritative symptoms.

The surgery most often used in such cases is called transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP or TUR). In TURP, an instrument is inserted through the urethra to remove prostate tissue that is pressing against the upper part of the urethra and restricting the flow of urine. TURP results in the removal of mostly transitional zone tissue in a patient with BPH. Older men often have corpora amylacea (myeloid), dense accumulations of calcified proteinaceous material, in the ducts of their prostates. The corpora amylacea may obstruct the lumens of the prostatic ducts, and may underlie some cases of BPH.

Urinary frequency due to bladder spasm, common in older men, may be confused with prostatic hyperplasia. Statistical observations suggest that a diet low in fat and red meat and high in protein and vegetables, as well as regular alcohol consumption, could protect against BPH.

The prostate literally mean “one who stands before”, “protector”, “guardian” is a compound tubuloalveolar exocrine gland of the male reproductive system in most mammals.

In 2002, female paraurethral glands, or Skene’s glands, were officially renamed the female prostate by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology.

The prostate differs considerably among species anatomically, chemically, and physiologically.

Function

The function of the prostate is to store and secrete a slightly alkaline fluid, milky or white in appearance, that usually constitutes 20-30% of the volume of the semen along with spermatozoa and seminal vesicle fluid. The alkalinity of semen helps neutralize the acidity of the vaginal tract, prolonging the lifespan of sperm. The alkalinization of semen is primarily accomplished through secretion from the seminal vesicles.^[6] The prostatic fluid is expelled in the first ejaculate fractions, together with most of the spermatozoa. In comparison with the few spermatozoa expelled together with mainly seminal vesicular fluid, those expelled in prostatic fluid have better motility, longer survival and better protection of the genetic material (DNA).

The prostate also contains some smooth muscles that help expel semen during ejaculation.

Secretions

Prostatic secretions vary among species. They are generally composed of simple sugars and are often slightly alkaline.

In human prostatic secretions, the protein content is less than 1% and includes proteolytic enzymes, prostatic acid phosphatase, and prostate-specific antigen. The secretions also contain zinc with a concentration 500-1,000 times the concentration in blood.

Regulation

To work properly, the prostate needs male hormones (androgens), which are responsible for male sex characteristics.

The main male hormone is testosterone, which is produced mainly by the testicles. Some male hormones are produced in small amounts by the adrenal glands. However, it is dihydrotestosterone that regulates the prostate.

Development

The prostatic part of the urethra develops from the pelvic (middle) part of the urogenital sinus (endodermal origin). Endodermal outgrowths arise from the prostatic part of the urethra and grow into the surrounding mesenchyme. The glandular epithelium of the prostate differentiates from these endodermal cells, and the associated mesenchyme differentiates into the dense stroma and the smooth muscle of the prostate. The prostate glands represent the modified wall of the proximal portion of the male urethra and arises by the 9th week of embryonic life in the development of the reproductive system. Condensation of mesenchyme, urethra and Wolffian ducts gives rise to the adult prostate gland, a composite organ made up of several glandular and non-glandular components tightly fused within a common capsule.

Female prostate gland

The Skene’s gland, also known as the paraurethral gland, found in females, is homologous to the prostate gland in males. However, evolutionarily, the uterus is in the same position as the prostate gland. In 2002 the Skene’s gland was officially renamed the prostate by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology.

The female prostate, like the male prostate, secretes PSA and levels of this antigen rise in the presence of carcinoma of the gland. The gland also expels fluid, like the male prostate, during orgasm.

A healthy human prostate is classically said to be slightly larger than a walnut. In actuality, it is approximately the size of a kiwifruit. The mean weight of the “normal” prostate in adult males is about 11 grams, usually ranging between 7 and 16 grams.

Prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting older men in developed countries and a significant cause of death for elderly men (estimated by some specialists at 3%). Regular rectal exams, as well as measurement of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) are recommended for men, usually ages 40 and up to detect prostate cancer early.

In a paper published in the 1 March 2011 issue of the journal Clinical Cancer Research, researchers from the University of Surrey reported that prostate cancers secrete the protein Engrailed-2 (EN2). EN2 can be found in a urine test. A EN2 stick test (like a pregnancy test) was expected to give results within five minutes. The test is more accurate, less invasive, and gives far fewer false positives than PSA test.

Male sexual response

During male orgasm, sperm is transmitted from the ductus deferens into the male urethra via the ejaculatory ducts, which lie within the prostate gland.

It is possible for men to achieve orgasm solely through stimulation of the prostate gland, such as prostate massage or receptive anal intercourse.

Vasectomy and risk of prostate cancer

In 1993, the Journal of the American Medical Association revealed a connection between vasectomy and an increased risk of prostate cancer. Reported studies of 48,000 and 29,000 men who had vasectomies showed 66 percent and 56 percent higher rates of prostate cancer, respectively. The risk increased with age and the number of years since the vasectomy was performed.

However, in March of the same year, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development held a conference cosponsored by the National Cancer Institute and others to review the available data and information on the link between prostate cancer and vasectomies. It was determined that an association between the two was very weak at best, and even if having a vasectomy increased one’s risk, the risk was relatively small.

In 1997, the NCI held a conference with the prostate cancer Progressive Review Group (a committee of scientists, medical personnel, and others). Their final report, published in 1998 stated that evidence that vasectomies help to develop prostate cancer was weak at best.

Stenting the prostate

Recent scientific breakthroughs have now meant using a Prostatic stent is a viable method of dis-obstructing the prostate. Stents are devices inserted into the urethra to widen it and keep it open. Stents can be temporary or permanent, and insertion is mostly done on an outpatient basis under local or spinal anesthesia and usually takes about 30 minutes.

Specific Antigen (PSA) are recommended for men, usually ages 40 and up to detect prostate cancer early.

What is vaginitis?
Vaginitis is a term for any infection or inflammation of the vagina.
What are the symptoms of vaginitis?
In general, vaginitis may cause itching, irritation, or abnormal vaginal discharge.

There are a several different kinds of vaginitis, each with their own causes and symptoms:

Candida or “yeast” infections – Yeast infections of the vagina are probably the most familiar form of vaginitis. They occur when too much of the fungus Candida grows in the vagina.

Yeast infections produce a thick, white discharge from the vagina that can look like cottage cheese. The discharge can be watery and often has no smell. Yeast infections usually cause the vagina and vulva (the area outside the vagina) to become itchy and red.

Bacterial vaginosis – Bacterial vaginosis is the most common vaginal infection in women of reproductive age. It is caused by an overgrowth of bacteria that are usually present in the vagina.

Bacterial vaginosis will often cause a thin, milky discharge from the vagina that may have a “fishy” odor. Many women with bacterial vaginosis have no symptoms and only discover they have it during a routine gynecologic exam.

Trichomoniasis – Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease that is caused by a single-cell parasite. It can cause vaginal itching, burning, and soreness of the vagina and vulva, as well as burning during urination. Many women with trichomoniasis do not develop any symptoms.

Non-infectious vaginitis – This form of vaginitis is usually caused by an allergic reaction or irritation from vaginal sprays, douches, spermicidal products, soaps, detergents, or fabric softeners. It can cause burning, itching, or vaginal discharge even if there is no infection.

What are the treatments for vaginitis?

The key to treating vaginitis is knowing which kind you have. The treatment must be specific to the type of vaginitis present.

Yeast infections are usually treated with an anti-yeast cream or suppository placed inside the vagina. A health care provider can write a prescription for most yeast infection treatments.

Although you can also buy medicine to treat yeast infections over-the-counter, it is a good idea to see a health care provider the first time you have symptoms of a yeast infection. Because this medicine will not cure other types of vaginitis, it is important to be sure you actually have a yeast infection before using these treatments.

Bacterial vaginosis is treated with an antibiotic that gets rid of the “bad” bacteria and leaves the “good” bacteria. There is no over-the-counter treatment for bacterial vaginosis, so it is important to see your health care provider for a prescription.

Sexually transmitted forms of vaginitis need to be treated by a health care provider right away. It is important to avoid sexual contact until you have been treated to prevent spreading the infection. A woman’s sexual partner(s) will need treatment as well.

Trichomoniasis and Chlamydia are both treated by antibiotics. Neither genital herpes nor HPV can be cured, but both can be controlled with the help of your health care provider and medications.

Non-infectious vaginitis can be treated by stopping the use of the product that caused the allergic reaction or irritation. Your health care provider may also be able to provide medicated cream to help reduce the symptoms until the reaction goes away.

It is important to remember that each type of vaginitis has a different treatment. Therefore it is very important to see a health care provider to be sure you are using the right treatment for your condition. Also, some kinds of vaginitis have no symptoms so it is important to have regular gynecologic exams.

Can I prevent vaginitis?

There are some things you can do to lower your chances of getting vaginitis.

If you often get yeast infections, you may want to avoid clothes that hold in heat and moisture, such as panty hose without a cotton lining, nylon panties, or tight jeans.

Avoid douches and vaginal sprays because they can kill “good” bacteria or cause irritation.

Practicing safe sex can help protect against sexually transmitted forms of vaginitis.

My idea is that cancer doesn’t depend on mysterious causes (genetic, immunological or auto  immunological as the official oncology proposes, but it comes down from a simple fungal infection, whose destroying power in the deep tissues is actually under estimated.

Premise

The present work is based on the conviction, supported by many years of observations, comparisons and experiences, that the necessary and sufficient cause of the tumour is to be sought in the vast world of the fungi, the most adaptable, aggressive and evolved micro-organisms known in nature.
I have tried many times to explain this theory to leading institutions involved in cancer issues (the Ministry of Health, the Italian Medical Oncological Association, etc.) elaborating on my thinking, but I have been brushed aside because of the impossibility of setting my idea in a conventional context.
A different, international audience represents the possibility of sharing a view about health, which differs, from what is widely accepted by today’s medical community, either officially or from the sidelines.
There is an opposition between the allopathic and the Hippocratic medical ideal. The former has the disadvantage of its inability to consider the individual as a whole. Therefore it brings with it all the distortions and aberrations which such a point of view entails (excessive specialisation, therapeutic aggressiveness, superficiality, harmfulness etc.). The latter approach instead tends in the direction of being too generic, non-scientific, and devoid of therapeutic incisiveness.
The position that I promote represents instead a meeting point of these two conceptions of health, since, from the conceptual point of view, it sublimates and adds value to both, while highlighting how they both are victims of a common conformist language.
The hypothesis of a fungal aetiology in chronic-degenerative illness, able to connect the ethical qualities of the individual with the development of specific pathologies, reconciles the two orientations (allopathic and holistic) of medicine. The hypothesis is a strong candidate for being that missing element of psychosomatics that has been sought but never found by one of the fathers of psychosomatics, Wiktor Von Weiszäcker.
In considering the biological dimensions of the fungi, for instance, it is possible to compare the different degrees of pathogenicity in relation to the condition of organs, tissues and cells of a guest organism, which in turn also and especially depend on the behaviour of the individual.
Each time the recuperative abilities of a known psycho-physic structure are exceeded, there is an inevitable exposure, even considering possible accidental cofounders, to the aggression — even at the smallest dimensions — of those external agents that otherwise would be harmless.
In the presence of an indubitable connection between patient morale and disease it is no longer legitimate to separate the two domains (allopathic and naturopathic) which are both indispensable for improving the health of individuals.
The Platonic separation of the human mind from the human body, responsible for the present mechanistic and materialistic character of today’s medicine, is outdated. So is the pessimistic Kantian position concerning integration of the rational and emotional sides of man (“the starred sky above me, the moral law within me”), which generates the present myopia of today’s medical epistemology. With such outdated cognitive frameworks inevitably come all the mindsets that carry similar restrictive and limiting presuppositions.

Candida Albicans: Necessary and Sufficient Cause of Cancer

When facing the most pressing contemporary medical problem, cancer, the first thing to do is to admit that we still do not know its real cause. However treated in different ways by both official and alternative medicine, an aural of mystery still exists around its real generative process.
The attempt to overcome the present impasse must therefore and necessarily go through two separate phases: a critical one that exposes the present limitations of oncology, and a constructive one capable of proposing a therapeutic system based on a new theoretical point of departure.
In agreement with the most recent formulation of scientific philosophy, which suggests a counter-inductive approach where it is impossible to find a solution with the conceptual tools that are commonly accepted, only one logical formulation emerges; that is, to refuse the oncological principle which assumes cancer is generated by a cellular reproductive anomaly.
However, if the fundamental hypothesis of cellular reproductive anomaly is questioned, it becomes clear that all the theories based on this hypothesis are inevitably flawed.
It follows that both an auto-immunological process, in which the body’s defence mechanisms against external agents turn their destructive capacity against internal constituents of the body, and an anomaly of the genetic structure implicated in the development of auto-destruction, are inevitably disqualified.
Moreover, the common attempt to construct theories about multiple causes that have an oncogenic effect on cellular reproduction sometimes seems like a concealing screen, behind which there is nothing but a wall. These theories propose endless causes that are more or less associated with each other; and this means in reality that no valid causes are found. The invocation in turn of smoking, alcohol, toxic substances, diet, stress, psychological factors, etc., without a properly defined context, causes confusion and resignation, and creates even more mystification around a disease which may turn out to be simpler than it is depicted to be.
As background information, it is important to review the picture of presumed genetic influences in the development of cancer processes as they are depicted by molecular biologists. These are the scientists who perform research on infinitesimally small cellular mechanisms, but who in real life never see a patient. All present medical systems are based on this research, and thus, unfortunately, all therapies currently performed.
The main hypothesis of a genetic neoplastic causality is essentially reduced to the fact that the structures and the mechanism in charge of normal reproductive cellular activity become, for undefined causes, capable of an autonomous behaviour that is disjointed from the overall tissular economy.
The genes that normally have a positive role in cellular reproduction are, then, imprecisely referred to as proto-oncogenes; those which inhibit cellular reproduction are called suppressor genes or recessive oncogenes.
Both endogenous (never demonstrated) and exogenous cellular factors — that is, those carcinogenic elements that are usually invoked — are held responsible for the neoplastic degeneration of the tissues.
In J.H. Stein (Medicina Interna – Internal Medicine, Mosby Year Book inc.1994, St. Louis, Missouri, 4th edition, Milano, 1995, page 1186 -1187) the following is reported:
The mitogenic signals, from the microenvironment or from more distant areas of influence, are transmitted to the cells through numerous receptive structures that are associated to the plasmatic membrane.
Among these structures, the ones that have been studied most exhaustively are receptors with an external domain for the binder, a transmembranic domain and a cytoplasmatic domain with a thyrosinkinase activity.
Besides these, it is thought that at least seven distinct classes of molecules participate in the transmission of the mutagenic signal:
1) receptors coupled to G proteins
2) ionic channels
3) receptors with intrinsic activity guanil cyclase
4) receptors for many lymphofokines, cytokines and growth factors (interleukine, eritropoietine, etc.)
5) receptors for the phosphothyrosine phosphorilase activity
6) nuclear receptors belonging to the supergenic family of the receptor for steroidal estrogenic and thyroidal hormones
7) Finally, increasing numbers of tests suggest that the adhesion molecules expressed on the surface of the cells communicate with the microenvironment in ways that produce very important consequences for cellular growth and differentiation.
From a very superficial analysis of this presumed oncological picture, however, it seems to be clear how the assertion of all this unstoppable genetic hyperactivity, generated by elements that almost seem to lurk in the realms of the sinister and the monstrous, and that therefore suggest the existence of God-knows-what abysmal mechanisms that can only be deciphered with equally abysmal conceptual mechanisms — all this can do nothing more that unveil the abysmal stupidity that is at the basis of this way of conceiving things.
What is even more serious is the fact that nobody in the present health establishment seems to question the above-mentioned stupidities. All those who work in the field do nothing but repeat the stale litany of reproductive cellular anomalies on a genetic basis.
Since in this state of affairs the present medical theory shows an impoverishment and a superficiality that are indeed abysmal, it is better to look for new horizons and conceptual instruments that are capable of unearthing a real and unique neoplastic aetiology.
After so many years of failure and suffering it is time to rejuvenate minds with new and productive juices. Arguments for mysterious and complex genetic factors, a monstrous reproductive capacity by a pathologic entity capable of tearing apart any tissue, the idea that there is an implicit and ancestral tendency of the human organism to deviate in an auto-destructive sense — these and other similar arguments, spiced with exponentially multiplying numbers of “ifs” and “maybes” — it all has the flavour more of raving free-association than of a healthy scientific discourse.
Once the present oncological perspectives have been refuted, however, it is legitimate to ask how the successes achieved by official medicine and by alternative medicine have to be classified.
To this end, it is useful to remember that contemporary epistemology has demonstrated how the contributions to causality of contextual and co-textual elements of a theory, if they cannot be defined, are therefore chancy, especially in ultra-dimensional space, that is, in the microscopic dimension.
In practical terms, this means that data or positive facts that are considered proof when concerning a basic principle (for example, the above-mentioned cellular reproductive anomalies), and therefore obtained by utilising a limited number of variables next to the complexity of human disease, cannot be trusted, since they work only from the initial hypothetical functions.
Where, in fact, we admit the possibility of improvements or cures, it is not admissible from the logical point of view attribute them to this or that method of cure that is more of less official, since it is not possible to specify and include all or the majority of the components that are at play in the object man, in whom conditions of certainty cannot exist.
Paradoxically, the possible positive effect of each therapeutic system could derive from elements that are not foreseen and are unknown to all. Those elements, however, could be influenced by or determined to some extent by one another.
We may find ourselves in a position in which everybody rightfully has the right to promote his point of view, without knowing the real reasons for his successes.
In this case, then, even the most rigorous experimentation takes on a fictional character rather than the function of a true correspondence with reality, and the end result is a continuous sterile petitio principii.
If we then put aside completely the conceptual frame of contemporary oncology with all its interpretative variables of genetic, immuncological and toxicological character, what is left as the only logical, practicable way is the domain of the infectious diseases, to be seen and reconsidered with different eyes that has been the case so far.
Two considerations support such a conclusion. One is of a historical nature, and the other is of an epidemiological nature. The former derives from the fact that, in the therapeutical approach to the patient, the improvement in quality, that is the possibility of a real cure for the patient, has been determined almost exclusively by the development of microbiology. The latter derives from the analysis of life expectancy that has taken place in the last decades which, since it is associated with an inevitable change of the sthenicity of individuals, can be hypothesised as a determining factor in the development atypical infectious pathologies.
In order to find the possible carcinogenic ens morbi on the horizon of microbiology, it appears useful to return to the basic taxonomical concepts of biology, where we can see, incidentally, the existence of a noticeable amount of indecision and indetermination.
Already in the last century, a German biologist, Ernest Haeckele (1834-1919), departing from the Linnaeian concept that makes for two great kingdoms of living things (vegetable and animal) denounced the difficulties of categorising all those microscopic organisms which, because of their characteristics and properties, could not be attributed to either the vegetable or animal kingdom. For these organisms, he proposed a third kingdom, called Protists.
“This vast and complex world includes a range of entities beginning with those that have sub-cellular structure — existing at the limits of life — such as viroids and viruses, moving through the mycoplasms, to finally, organisms of greater organisation: bacteria, actinomycetes, mixomycetes, fungi, protozoa, and perhaps even some microscopic algae.” (2).
The common element of these organisms is the feeding system, which, being implemented (with very few exceptions) by direct absorption of soluble organic compounds, differentiates them both from animals and vegetables. Animals also feed as above, but especially by ingesting solid organic materials that are then transformed through the digestive process. Vegetables are capable, by utilising mineral compounds and light energy, to feed by synthesising the organic substances.
The contemporary tendency of biologists is to once again pick up, though in a more sophisticated way, the concept of the third kingdom. One goes even further, however, arguing that within that kingdom, fungi must be classified in a distinct category.
O. Verona (3) says that if we put multicellular organisms provided with photosynthetic capabilities (plants) in the first kingdom, and the organisms not provided with photosynthetic pigmentation (animals) in the second kingdom, and organisms from both these kingdoms are made of cells provided with a distinct nucleus (eukaryotes); and, furthermore, if we put in another kingdom (protists) those monocellular organisms that have no chlorophyll and have cells that are without a distinct nucleus (prokaryotes), the fungi can well have their own kingdom because of the absence of photosynthetic pigmentation, the ability to be mono-cellular, and multi-cellular, and, finally, their possession of a distinct nucleus.
Additionally, fungi possess a property that is strange when compared to all other micro-organisms: the ability to have a basic microscopic structure (hypha) with a simultaneous tendency to grow to remarkable dimensions (up to several kilograms), keeping unchanged the capacity to adapt and reproduce at any size.
From this point of view, therefore, fungi cannot be considered true organisms, but cellular aggregates sui generis with an organismic behaviour, since each cell maintains its survival and reproductive potential intact regardless of the structure in which it exists.
It is therefore clear how difficult it is to identify all the biological processes in such complex living realities. In fact, even today, there are huge voids and taxonomical approximations in mycology.
It is worthwhile to examine more deeply this strange world, with such peculiar characteristics, and try to highlight those elements that somehow may be pertinent to the problems of oncology.
1) Fungi are heterotrophic organisms and therefore need, as far as nitrogen and carbon are concerned, pre-formed compounds. Of these compounds, simple carbohydrates, for example monosaccarides (glucose, fructose, and mannose) are among the most utilised sugars. This means that fungi, during their life cycle, depend on other living beings, which must be exploited in different degrees for their feeding. This occurs both in a saprophytic way (that is, by feeding on organic waste) and in a parasitic way (that is, by attacking the tissue of the host directly).
2) Fungi show a great variety of reproductive manifestations (sexual, asexual, gemmation; these manifestations can often be observed simultaneously in the same mycete), combined with a great morphostructural variety of organs. All of this is directed toward the end of spore formation, to which the continuity and propagation of the species is entrusted.
3) In mycology, it is often possible to observe a particular phenomenon called heterocarion, characterised by the coexistence of normal and mutant nuclei in cells that have undergone a hyphal fusion.
Nowadays, phitopathologists are quite worried about the creation of individuals that are genetically quite different even from the parents. This difference has taken place by means of those reproductive cycles, which are called parasexual.
The indiscriminate use of phitopharmaceuticals has in fact often determined mutations of the nuclei of many parasite fungi with the consequent creation of heterocarion — and this is sometimes particularly virulent in its pathogenicity (4).
4) In the parasitic dimension, fungi can develop from the hyphas more or less beak-shaped specialised structures that allow the penetration of the host.
5) The production of spores can be so abundant as to always include, at every cycle, tens, hundreds, and even thousands of millions of elements that can be dispersed at a remarkable distance from the point of origin (a small movement is sufficient, for example, to implement immediate diffusion).
6) Spores have an immense resistance to external aggression, for they are capable of staying dormant in adverse conditions for many years, while preserving unaltered their regenerative potentialities.
7) The development coefficient of the hyphal apexes after the germination is extremely fast (100 microns per minute under ideal conditions) with ramification capacity, thus with the appearance of a new apex region that in some cases is in the neighbourhood of 40-60 seconds (6).
The shape of the fungus is never defined, for it is imposed by the environment in which the fungus develops.
It is possible to observe, for example, the same mycelium in the simple isolated hyphas status in a liquid environment or in the form of aggregates that are increasingly solid and compact up to the formation of pseudoparenchymas and of filaments and mycelial strings (7).
9) By the same token, it is possible to observe in different fungi the same shape whenever they must adapt to the same environment (this is called dimorphism).
The partial or total substitution of nourishing substances induces frequent mutations in fungi, and this is further proof of their high adaptability to any sub-strata.
10) When the nutritional conditions are precarious, many fungi react with hyphal fusion (among nearby fungi) which allows them to explore the available material more easily, using more complete physiological processes.
This property, which substitutes co-operation for competition, makes them distinct from any other microorganism, and for this reason Buller calls them social organisms (8).
11) When a cell gets old or becomes damaged (i.e. by a toxic substance or by a pharmaceutical) many fungi whose intercellular septums are provided with a pore react by implementing of a defence process called protoplasmic flux through which they transfer the nucleus and cytoplasm of the damaged cell into a healthy one, thus conserving unaltered all their biological potential.
12) The phenomena regulating the development of hyphal ramification are unknown to date (9). They consist either of a rhythmic development, or in the appearance of sectors which, though they originate from the hyphal system, are self-regulating (10), that is, independent of the regulating action and behaviour of the rest of the colony.
13) Fungi are capable of implementing an infinite number of modifications to their own metabolism in order to overcome the defence mechanism of the host. These modifications are implemented through plasmatic and biochemical actions as well as by a volumetric increase (hypertrophy) and numerical hyperplasy of the cells that have been attacked (11).
14) Fungi are so aggressive as to attack not only plants, animal tissue, food supplies and other fungi, but even protozoa, amoebas and nematodes.
Fungi hunt nematodes, for example, with peculiar hyphal modifications that constitute real mycelial criss-cross, viscose, or ring traps that achieve the immobilisation of the worms, as a precursor their hyphal invasion.
In some cases, the aggressive power of fungi is so great as to allow it, with only a cellular ring made up of three units, to tighten in its grip, capture and kill its prey in a short time notwithstanding the prey’s desperate struggling.
From the short notations above, therefore, it seems fair to dedicate a greater attention to the world of fungi, especially considering the fact that biologists and microbiologists constantly highlight large deficiencies and voids in all their descriptions and interpretations of the fungi’s shape, physiology and reproduction.
So the fungus, which is the most powerful and the most organised micro-organism known, seems to be an extremely logical candidate as a cause of neoplastic proliferation. Imperfect Fungi (so called because of the lack of knowledge and understanding of their biological processes) deserve particular attention since their essential prerogative sits in their fermentative capacity.
The greatest disease of mankind may therefore hide within the small cluster of pathogenic fungi, and may be after all be located with just some simple deductions able to close the circle and providing the solution.
Considering that, among the human parasite species, the Dermatophytes and Sporotrichum demonstrate an excessively specific morbidity, and that experience shows that Actinomycetes, Toluropsis and Hystoplasma rarely enter the context of pathology, the Candid Albicans clearly emerges as the sole candidate for tumoral proliferation.
If we stop for a second and reflect on its characteristics, we can observe many analogies with neoplastic disease. The most evident are:
1) Ubiquitous attachment: no organ or tissue is spared
2) The constant absence of hyperpyrexia
3) Sporadic and indirect involvement of the differential tissues
4) Invasiveness that is almost exclusively of the focal type
5) Progressive debilitation
6) Refractivity to any type of treatment
7) Proliferation facilitated by multiplicity of indifferent cofounders
Symptomatological basic configuration with structure tending to the chronic
Therefore an exceptionally high and diversified pathogenic potentiality exists in this mycete of just a few microns in size, which, even though it cannot be traced with the present experimental instruments, cannot be neglected from the clinical point of view.
Certainly, its present nosological classification cannot be satisfactory, because if we do not keep the possibly endless parasitic configurations in mind, that classification is too simplistic and constraining.
We therefore have to hypothesise that Candida, in the moment it is attacked by the immunological system of the host or by a conventional antimycotic treatment, does not react in the usual, predicted way, but defends itself by transforming itself into ever-smaller and non-differentiated elements that maintain their fecundity intact to the point of hiding their presence both to the host organism and to possible diagnostic investigations.
The Candida’s behaviour may be considered to be almost elastic:
When favourable conditions exist, it thrives on an epithelium; as soon as the tissue reaction is engaged, it massively transforms itself into a form that is less productive but impervious to attack — the spore.
If then continuous sub-epithelial solutions take place coupled with a greater a-reactivity in that very moment the spore gets deeper in the lower connective tissue in such an impervious state, it is irreversible.
In fact, the Candida takes advantage of a structural interchangeability utilising, according to the difficulties to overcome its biological niche.
In this way, Candida is free to expand to maturation in the soil, air, water, vegetation, etc., that is, wherever there is no antibody reaction.
In the epithelium, instead, it takes a mixed form, that is reduced to the sole spore component when it penetrates in the lower epithelial levels, where it tends to expand again in the presence of conditions tissular a-reactivity.
The initial mandatory step of an in-depth research endeavour would be to understand if and in which dimensions the spore transcends; what mechanisms it engages to hide itself or, again, if it preserves its parasitical characteristic, or if it has available a neutral quiescent position, which is difficult or even impossible to detect by the immunological system.
Unfortunately today we do not have the appropriate means, either theoretical or technical, to answer these and similar questions, so that the only valid suggestions can come solely from clinical observation and experience. While not providing immediate solutions, these sources can at stimulate further questions.
Assuming that Candida Albicans is the agent responsible for tumoral development, a targeted therapy would keep into account not just its static and macroscopic manifestations, but even the ultramicroscopic ones especially in their dynamic valence, that is, the reproductive.
It is very probable that the targets to attack are the fungi’s dimensional transition points in order to perform a decontamination with such a scope as to include the whole spectrum of the biological expression: parasitic, vegetative, sporal, and even ultra-dimensional and, to the limit, viral.
If we stop at the most evident phenomena, we risk administering salves and unguents forever (in the case of dermatomycosis or in psoriasis), or to clumsily attack (with surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy) enigmatic tumoral masses with the sole result of facilitating their propagation, which is already heightened in the mycelial forms.
Why, one may ask, should we assume a different and heightened activity of Candida Albicans since it has been abundantly described in its pathological manifestations?
The answer lies in the fact that it has been studied only in a pathogenic context, that is, only in relation to the epithelial tissues. In reality Candida possesses an aggressive valence that is diversified in function of the target tissue. It is just in the connective or in the connective environment, in fact, and not in the differentiated tissues, that Candida may find conditions favourable to an unlimited expansion.
This emerges if we stop and reflect for a moment on the main function of connective tissue, which is to convey and supply nourishing substances to the cells of the whole organism.
This is to be considered as an environment external to the more differentiated cells such as nervous, muscular, etc. It is in this context, in fact, that the alimentary competition takes place.
On one hand we have the organism’s cellular elements trying to defeat all forms of invasion; on the other hand, we have fungal cells trying to absorb ever-growing quantities of nourishing substances, for they have to obey the species’ biological imperative to form ever-larger and diffused masses and colonies.
From the combination of various factors pertinent both to the host and the aggressor, it is possible to hypothesise the evolution of a candidosis;
First stage Integer epitheliums, absence of the debilitating factors
Candida can only exist as saprophyte

Second Non-integer epitheliums (erosions, abrasions, etc.), absence of

stage debilitating factors, unusual transitory conditions (acidosis, metabolic disorder, and microbial disorder).

Candida expands superficially (classic mycosis, both exogenous and endogenous).

Third Non-integer epitheliums, presence of debilitating factors (toxic,

stage radiant, traumatic, neuropsychic, etc.).

Candida goes deeper into the sub-epithelial levels from which it can be carried to the whole organism through the blood and lymph (intimate mycosis). (12)

Stages one and two are the most studied and known, while stage three, though it has

been described in its morphological diversity, is reduced to a silent form of saprophytism.

This is not acceptable from a logical point of view, because no one can demonstrate the

harmlessness of the fungal cells in the deepest parts of the organism.

In fact, the assumption that Candida can behave in the same saprophytic manner that is

observed on integer epitheliums when it has successfully penetrated the lower levels is

at least risky, because the assumption would have to be sustained by concepts that are

totally aleatory.

In fact, we asked not only to accept a priori that the connective environment is (a) not suitable to nourish the Candida, but also at the same time to accept (b) the omnipotence of the body’s defence system towards an organic structure that is invasive but that then becomes vulnerable once lodged in the deeper tissues.
As to point a), it is difficult to imagine that a micro-organism so able to adapt itself to any sub-strata cannot find elements to support itself in the human organic substance; by the same token, it seems risky to hypothesise that the human organism’s defence system is totally efficient at every moment of its existence.
Finally, the assumption that there is a tendency to a state of quiescence and vulnerability in the case of a pathogenic agent such as fungus — the most invasive and aggressive microorganism existing in nature — seems to carry a whiff of irresponsible.
It is therefore urgent, on the basis of the above-mentioned considerations, to recognise the hazardous nature of such a pathogenic agent, which is capable of easily taking the most various biological configurations, both biochemical and structural, in function of the condition of the host organism.
The fungal expansion gradient in fact becomes steeper as the tissue that is the host of the mycotic invasion becomes less eutrophic, and thus less reactive.
To that end, it seems useful to briefly consider the “benign tumour” nosological entity. This is an issue that always appears in general pathology but that indeed is brushed aside most of the time too easily, and it is overlooked, since it usually doesn’t create either problems or worries. It constitutes one of those underestimated grey areas seldom subjected to rational, fresh consideration.
If the benign tumour, however, is not considered a full-fledged tumour, it would be advantageous, for clarity, to categorise it in an appropriate nosological scheme. If, instead, it is thought that it fully belongs to neoplastic pathology, then it is necessary to consider its non-invasive character and consequently to consider the reasons for this.
It is in fact evident how in this second scenario, the thesis based on a presumed predisposition of the organism to auto-phagocytosis, having to admit an expressive graduation, would stumble into such additional difficulties such as to become extremely improbable.
By contrast, in the fungal scenario, the mystery of why there are benign and malignant tumours is exhaustively solved, since they can be recognised as having same etiological genesis.
The benignity or malignancy of a cancer in fact depends on the capability of tissular reaction of a specific organ expressing itself ultimately in the ability to encyst fungal cells, and to prevent them from developing in ever-larger colonies. This can be achieved more easily where the ratio between differentiated cells and connective tissue is in favour of the former.
Situated between the impervious noble tissues, then, and the defenceless connective, the differentiated connective structures (the glandular structures in particular) represent that medium term which is only somewhat vulnerable to attack, because of an ability to offer a certain type of defence.
And it is in these conditions that benign tumours are formed, that is, where the glandular connective tissue is successful in forming hypertrophic and hyperplastic cellular embankments against the parasites.
In the stomach and in the lung, instead, since there are no specific glandular units, the target organ, provided with a small defensive capability, is at the mercy of the invader. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning how several types of intimate fungal invasion do not determine the appearance of malignant or benign tumours, but a type of particular benign tumour (specific degenerative alterations) as is the case of some organs or apparatuses that do not have peculiar glandular structures, but nevertheless are attacked in their connective tissue, but in a limited way.
If we consider, in fact, multiple sclerosis, SLA, psoriasis, nodular panartherite, etc. the possible development of the fungus in a three-dimensional sense is actually limited by the anatomic configuration of the invaded tissues, so that only a longitudinal expansion is allowed.
Going back to the precondition of a-reactivity that is necessary for neoplastic development in a specific individual, it is permissible to affirm how in the human body each external or internal element that determines a reduction of well-being in an organism, organ or tissue, possesses oncogenic potentiality. This is not so much because of an intrinsic damaging capability as much as for a generic property of favouring the fungal (that is, tumoral) flourishing.
Then the causal network so much invoked in contemporary oncology, which involves toxic, genetic, immunological, psychological, geographical, moral, social, and other factors, finds a correct classification only in a mycotic infectious perspective where the arithmetical and diachronic summation of harmful elements works as a cofactor to the external aggression.
Having theoretically demonstrated the equivalency tumour = fungus, it is clear how this interpretative key offers a long series of questions concerning the contemporary therapies both oncological (used without reference indexes) and antimycotic (utilised only at a superficial level).
Which path is best to walk today, then, when faced with a cancer patient, since the conventional oncological treatment, not being etiological, can only occasionally have positive effects and most of the time produces damage?
In the fungal perspective in fact, the effectiveness of surgery is noticeably reduced because of the extreme diffusibility and invasiveness characteristic of a mycelial conglomerate. Surgery’s to solve the problem is therefore tied to the case — to conditions, that is, in which one has the luck to completely remove the entire colony (which is often possible in the presence of a sufficient encystment; but here we are in the case of benign tumours).
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy produce almost exclusively negative effects, both for their specific ineffectiveness, and for their high toxicity and harmfulness to the tissues, which in the last analysis favours mycotic aggressiveness.
By contrast, an anti-fungal, anti-tumour specific therapy would keep into account the importance of the connective tissue, together with the reproductive complexity of fungi. Only by attacking the fungi across the spectrum of all its forms, at points where it is most vulnerable from the nutritional point of view, would it be possible to hope to eradicate them from the human organism.
The first step to take, therefore, would be to reinforce the cancer patient with generic reconstituent measures (nutrition, tonics, regulation of rhythms and vital functions), that are able to enhance, by themselves, the general defences of the organism.
Concerning the possibility of having available pharmaceutical cures which unfortunately do not exist today, it seems useful, in the attempt to find an anti-fungal substance that is quite diffusible and therefore effective, to consider the extreme sensitivity of Candida towards sodium bicarbonate (i.e. in the oral candidosis of breasted babies). This is consistent with the fact that Candida has an accentuated ability to reproduce in an acid environment.
Theoretically, therefore, if treatments that put the fungus in direct contact with high bicarbonate concentrations could be found, we should be able to see a regression of the tumoral masses.
And this is what happens in many types of tumour, such as colon, liver — and especially stomach and lung — the former susceptible to regression just because of its “external” anatomic position, the latter because of the high diffusibility of sodium bicarbonate in the bronchial system and for its high responsiveness to general reconstituent measures.
By applying a similar therapeutic approach, it has been possible in some patients (about 30 in the last 15 years) to achieve complete remission of the symptomatology and normalisation of the instrumental data.
Following are the reports of seven cases of patients, some of whom survived more than 10 years.
It is important to emphasise that these cases are presented just as an example of what could be a new way of perceiving the complexity of medical problems, especially in oncology.
It is clear, in fact, that because of the very limited number of cases, the lack of documentation showing rigid, orthodox experimental methodology, and the long time that has elapsed since these cases were treated, that the evidence required for strong support of this theory on cancer is lacking.
I will not indicate in this paper the personal, cultural and professional reasons that were responsible for the interruption of the study and cure of cancer patients until recently (that is, until two or three years ago, when I resumed the treatment of cancer cases). I am however convinced that the important fact that some patients have been able to heal and survive for several years with therapies that are different from the common, deadly therapeutic methods, must be divulged. This is especially because these results come from a new way of thinking which, as opposed to groping in the dark as official and various alternative medicines do, has a well-defined subject — fungi — in a theory which of course is still to be proven and validated.
One may ask why more recent cases are not shown below. This is because insufficient time has elapsed since treatment for a demonstration of long-term well being of the patients, and therefore these cases are not included.
It is also important to highlight that nowadays it is very difficult to have a large number of cases, since it is not easy to obtain a large number of cancer patients — they are addressed by the current system almost exclusively toward the official channels of medicine, even if in many cases those have been proven ineffective or deadly.
Keeping the above in mind, I consider it useful to describe these cases as follows:
Case 1: A 70-year old female patient with diagnosis of stomach adenocarcinoma confirmed by commonly accepted oncological tests (TAK, biopsy, etc.). Two days before the scheduled operation, she accepts the suggestion of trying a less sanguinary approach, and leaves the hospital.
For the period of a month, she is administered sodium bicarbonate (one teaspoon in a glass of water) to ingest half an hour before breakfast (that is, on an empty stomach) for the purpose of maximising the effect.
After about two months normalisation of the gastric function takes place with attenuation at first, and eventual loss of all the symptomatology related to neoplastic pathology (lack of appetite, digestion troubles, fatigue, lipothymic events, etc.).
After an endoscopic examination performed one year after the beginning of therapy, the total remission of neoplastic formation is ascertained and the patient refuses further investigation.
The patient is still alive today, 15 years after the treatment.
Case 2: A 67-year-old patient with a long history of gastric ulcer is diagnosed with stomach cancer and a gastrectomy is suggested.
The patient, believing his disease is just an exacerbation of the ulcer, wants to find an alternative to surgery. He therefore accepted a therapy with sodium bicarbonate as in case 1. The therapy determines in a few months the regression of the neoplastic symptomatology.
After about 18 months, during which no check-up is performed, upon the return of symptomatology, treatment is resumed as above. Gastric functionality is quickly re-established and maintained for about eight years, after which contact with the patient is lost.
Case 3: A 58-year-old patient with stomach carcinoma is diagnosed through histological examination performed on endoscopical sample.
The patient chooses not to undergo the conventional therapies and he decides to accept a therapy similar to that in the two preceding cases. The resulting effect is a normalisation of symptomatology for about three years, that is, until there are no further medical check-ups.
Case 4: In September, 1983, a 71-year-old patient undergoes a hospital check-up in a serious condition of emaciation caused by a large weight loss (about 15 Kgs.) which occurred over the prior few months.
Once a stomach neoplastic condition has been diagnosed, and after the layout of a combined oncological therapeutic scheme, the relatives are informed. The relatives are also informed of the difficulties and risks of such treatment, to be administered to such a debilitated patient.
The wife decides to refuse the conventional approach and decides to bring the husband home and try the “harmless” therapy of baking soda, which is administered in a lower dosage than in the preceding cases. That restores appetite and a satisfactory digestive functionality.
For about eight months the patient has difficulty regaining weight. After this, the improvement is more and more evident, with the almost complete regaining of the lost weight (within 24 months) and a considerable improvement of the patient’s general condition.
Case 5: A 51-year-old patient diagnosed at the end of 1983 with bronchial carcinoma in the lower right lobe has the diagnosis confirmed by routine oncological tests (distinctively positive TAK but negative bronchial residue. Surgery is proposed.
The family decides to delay surgery and try the bicarbonate treatment.
Radiological examination is performed 18 months after the treatment. During these months there are no emophtoic episodes as occurred at the beginning of the disease. The radiological examination still indicates the presence of a nodular mass in the lower part of the right lobe, but its dimensions appear to be smaller and the contours of the mass more regular.
Case 6: A 48-year-old patient with tumour in the middle lobe of the lung that has been confirmed by all oncological examinations is put on a waiting list for surgery at the beginning of 1983. Incidentally, the execution modality does not seem to be completely defined because the neoplastic mass exceeds the limits.
The patient leaves the hospital against the advice of doctors – to the point that the doctors look for him for several months. He then submits to a bicarbonate therapy which is able to re-establish healthy conditions.
A radiological examination performed after nine months reveals that the neoplastic mass has been replaced by a tenuous transversal line located at the base of the medium lobe that can be interpreted as a residual scar.
The patient is still living.
Case 7: In 1981, a 55-year-old patient is affected by rectal neoplasy that has been evidentiated through symptoms such as problems with evacuation and bleeding, and, instrumentally, through endoscopic examination. Doctors suggest rectal resection and consequent surgical construction of a preternatural anus. In the attempt to avoid this mutilation, the patient submits to a local therapy with bicarbonate performed with enemas containing a high bicarbonate solution — 8 teaspoons per litre.
Three years after the treatment, the patient was still living.

Critical considerations

Having explained the theory and having briefly illustrated the cases, it seems appropriate to analyse, in a critical and self-critical spirit, what may emerge in neoplastic pathology that is new and concrete.
If we closely observe the proposed therapeutic approach it is possible to see that, independently of its real effectiveness, it has value as an innovative theory. First, it challenges the present methodology and especially its assumptions. Second, it offers a concrete alternative proposal to a mountain of conjectures and postures that sound authoritative but are too generic and therefore ineffective.
The identification of one tumoral cause, even with all the possible general provisos, would represent a step forward that is indispensable for escaping that passivity determined by a lack of results, and which is responsible for medical behaviours that are based too much on faith and not enough on real confidence.
Given, therefore, that an unconventional medical approach can benefit some patients better – from any point of view – than the official treatments, and since valuable results can be demonstrated, this should stimulate us to pursue further research while avoiding patronising postures that are both limiting and non-productive.
We can therefore discuss whether or not sodium bicarbonate is the real reason for the recoveries or if, instead, those recoveries are due to the interaction of a number of conditions that have been created, the results of unidentified neuro-psychical factors, or maybe the results of something totally unknown. What is beyond question, however, is the fact that a certain number of people, by not following conventional methods, have been able to go back to normality without suffering and without mutilation.
The message of this experience is therefore a call to search for those solutions that are in accord with the simple Hippocratic premise of man’s “well-being”; that is, we must be a stimulated to a critical evaluation of our contemporary oncological therapies which indubitably can guarantee suffering.
One thing is certain: nowadays it is no longer legitimate (for we are the prey of panic and of the “tumoral syndrome”), to tolerate the slaughtering of patients in the name of a “compassionate” obligation to help and be helped, without the support of solid etiological foundations.
If, for a moment, we take a different point of view and try to look at the world of the tumour with new eyes, that is, by hypothesising a simpler genesis of neoplastic proliferation, even the fungal one, we may be appalled and frightened by the ignorant hand of official medicine – a hand that is armed, however, with great cynicism and profound superficiality.
One could argue that the failures represent the inevitable price to pay to save people’s lives. But when the suffering and the “authorised deaths” overwhelm the patient recoveries (that seem, indeed, to be random or due to factors not related to the therapies performed), then it is no longer acceptable to operate at all costs and regardless of the consequences, for in doing so, we are destined only to hurt people.
One can rebut that the recoveries obtained by using present oncological protocols are not so few, and that in certain types of tumour recoveries are a high percentage. It is easy to see, however, that these results are nothing but the outcome of propaganda sustained by surreptitious argumentation shedding false light on the subject of tumoral nosological entities.
When we group together both malignant tumours that are occasionally or never healed (such as lung and stomach), tumours that border with benignity (such as the majority of thyroid and prostatic tumours, etc.) or put them together with those that have an autonomous positive outcome notwithstanding chemotherapy (i.e. infantile leukaemia) – all of this appears to be devious and misleading, having only the purpose of forging a consensus that would otherwise be impossible to obtain with intellectually ethical behaviour.
If, for example, out of a certain number of tumour species only one is susceptible to regression, it is not legitimate to create a nosologic diagram reporting on the global incidence of applied therapeutics regardless of the total neoplasm’s. In fact, it would be more appropriate to report the uselessness, even the harmfulness of doing so, and leave an open field for alternative hypotheses as far as the demonstration of positive behaviour by the heteroplasm is concerned.
If, for example, we go back for a moment to infantile leukaemia, the frequent positive outcomes can be correlated with elements that are extraneous to the therapies administered. For example, they can be correlated with those common supportive therapies, which are considered particularly effective in young organisms. They can be correlated with the ability of the connective tissue to acquire, in a particular stage of growth and development, that maturity which is necessary to the strengthening of an immunological activity that is, at a certain point in life, intrinsically insufficient.
It is in fact frequent in medicine that some diseases disappear spontaneously, without apparent reason, but in correlation with certain transitions of organic maturation.
On the oncological-mycological issue, it is known how psoriasis and some chronic and recurrent mycoses of infancy that reject any treatment suddenly, at a certain stage of the body’s development, disappear completely without a trace.
From the examples noted, which could be uselessly multiplied ad infinitum, it is evident that the full panorama of tumoral disease is extremely varied and complex. It follows that, taking postures that are exclusive or preclusive, whether they are conventional or unconventional, may indicate a lack of vision. This is especially so since the terrain we are exploring is largely unknown, and therefore cannot be charted in a way that is uniform or standardised.
Wherever we consider an environment occupied by invisible ultra-microscopic elements, and since the structure of knowledge must inevitably rest on the construction of a multiplicity of theoretical entities, there is a risk of slipping from a perception that reflects reality to one that is merely fictional. The acceptance of such a fictional construct may become a pernicious reality.
The fact that modern medicine not only cannot offer sufficient interpretative criteria but even uses dangerous methodologies that are also harmful and meaningless – even if carried out with good faith – is something which must push us all to search for humane and logical alternatives. At the same time, it is necessary to carefully, open-mindedly, and logically consider any theory or point of view that is dared to be advanced in the battle against that monstrous and inhuman yoke that is the tumour.
To this end, a note of acknowledgement is to go to all those who are aware of the harmfulness of conventional therapeutic methods and constantly try to find alternative solutions.
People like Di Bella, Govallo and others, though guilty of utilising the same inauspicious principles of official medicine (thus showing an excessively conformist mindset) are actually using common sense by trying to relieve the suffering of cancer patients through the use of painless methodologies and, in some cases, are able to achieve remissions even though in the dark about the real causes of cancer.
In an alternative perspective, then, it would be necessary to conceive a new approach to experimentation in the oncological field, setting epidemiological, etiological, pathogenical, clinical and therapeutical research in line with a renewed microbiology and mycology that would probably drive to the conclusion already illustrated; that is, the tumour is a fungus – the Candida Albicans.
The possible discovery that not only tumours but also the majority of chronic degenerative disease could be reconciled to mycotic causality would represent a qualitative quantum leap, which, by revolutionising medical thinking, could greatly improve life expectancy and quality of life. Such reconciliation might include a wider spectrum of fungal parasites (for example, in diseases of the connective tissues, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, some epileptic forms, diabetes II, etc.).
In closing, if the world of fungi – those most complex and aggressive micro-organisms – has until now too often been bypassed and left unobserved, the hope of this work is that we will quickly become aware of the hazards of these micro-organisms so that medical resources can be channelled not up blind alleys but toward the real enemies of the human organism: external infectious agents.

Therapy with sodium bicarbonate solutions. The fundamental reason and the motives that suggest a therapy with sodium bicarbonate against tumours is that, although with the concurrence of a myriad of variable concausal factors – the development and the local and remote proliferation of these tumours has a cause that is exclusively fungin.
At the moment, against fungi there is no useful remedy other than, in my opinion, sodium bicarbonate. The anti-fungins that are currently on the market, in fact, do not have the ability to penetrate the masses (except perhaps early administrations of azoli or of amfotercin B delivered parenterally), since they are conceived to act only at a stratified level of epithelial type. They are therefore unable to affect myceliar aggregations set volumetrically and also masked by the connectival reaction that attempts to circumscribe them.

We have seen that fungi are also able to quickly mutate their genetic structure. That means that after an initial phase of sensitivity to fungicides, in a short time they are able to codify them and to metabolise them without being damaged by them – rather, paradoxically, they extract a benefit from their high toxicity on the organism.
This happens, for example, in the prostateinvasive carcinoma with congealed pelvis. For this affliction, there is a therapy with anti-fungins which at first is very effective at the symptomatological level but through time it consistently loses its effectiveness.

Sodium bicarbonate, instead, as it is extremely diffusible and without that structural complexity that fungi can easily codify, retains for a long time its ability to penetrate the masses. This is also and especially due to the speed at which it disintegrates them, which makes fungi’s adaptability impossible, thus it cannot defend itself. A therapy with bicarbonate should therefore be set up with strong dosage, continuously, and with pauseless cycles in a destruction work which should proceed from the beginning to the end without interruption for at least 7-8 days for the first cycle, keeping in mind that a mass of 2-3-4 centimetres begins to consistently regress from the third to the fourth day, and collapses from the fourth to the fifth.

Generally speaking, the maximum limit of the dosage that can be administered in a session gravitates around 500 cc of sodium bicarbonate at five per cent solution, with the possibility of increasing or decreasing the dosage by 20 per cent in function of the body mass of the individual to be treated and in the presence of multiple localisations upon which to apportion a greater quantity of salts.

We must underline that the dosages indicated, as they are harmless, are the very same that have already been utilised without any problem for more than 30 years in a myriad of other morbid situations such as:

• Severe diabetic ketoacidosis
• Cardio-respiratory reanimation
• Pregnancy
• Haemodialysis
• Peritoneal dialysis
• Pharmacological toxicosis
• Hepatopathy

With the aim to reach the maximum effect, sodium bicarbonate should be administered directly on the neoplastic masses which are susceptible of regression only by destroying the fungal colonies.
This is possible by the selective arteriography (the visualisation through instrumentation of specific arteries) and by the positioning of the arterial port-a-cath (these devices are small basins used to join the catheter). These methods allow the positioning of a small catheter directly in the artery that nourishes the neoplastic mass, allowing the administration of high dosages of sodium bicarbonate in the deepest recesses of the organism.

With this method, it is possible to reach almost all organs; they can be treated and can benefit from a therapy with bicarbonate salts which is harmless, fast, and effective with only the exception of some bone areas such as vertebrae and ribs, where the scarce arterial irrigation does not allow sufficient dosage to reach the targets.
Selective arteriography therefore represents a very powerful weapon against fungi that can always be used against neoplasias, firstly because it is painless and leaves no after effects, secondly because the risks are very low.
