Fast Fact

The blood cholesterol theory of heart disease is grossly exaggerated. The truth is that “blood cholesterol is only weakly associated with heart disease and between 1945 and 1995 not a single study presented evidence that reducing cholesterol blood levels would lower overall death rate” while several studies showed that certain medications for lowering blood cholesterol levels actually increased overall death rates.

Medical Freedom Alert

I’ve previously touched on the fact that our medical freedoms are in danger of being severely curtailed, due to continued machinations by the pharmaceutical industry in collusion with various government agencies, both in the U.S. and abroad. As I was putting this week’s edition of The Health Plus Letter to bed, I happened upon an excellent summary of how this collusion has already significantly restricted access to nutritional supplements in Europe (already in some countries, vitamins are only available with a doctor’s prescription!), which also makes clear why similar occurrences could happen in the U.S. I will have much more to say about this issue in the near future, both within this newsletter and on my website. Till then, I urge all my readers to read the overview I just found. It’s entitled “A Different Threat From Abroad,” and can be read in its entirety at http://216.119.91.237/articles/default.htm.


Health News and Commentary

Epstein-Barr Virus Linked to Certain Types of Cancer

Last month England’s BBC News reported that scientists from Cancer Research UK's Paterson Institute had discovered the mechanism by which the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) “can increase the risk that cells will divide in the uncontrolled fashion typical of cancer.” An estimated 90% of all Britons are infected with EBV, and infection rates are said to be similar among the U.S population. Although most people with the virus come to no harm because of it, researchers have known for some time that “in a small minority of cases the virus helps to trigger cancer,” with EBV being linked to “Hodgkin's disease, Burkitt's lymphoma, and nasopharyngeal cancer, as well as certain rare cancers in immunosupressed transplant patients.”

This latest research found that EBV produces a molecule known as LMP1 that neutralizes the body’s p16 gene, which serves to regulate cell growth and division. (Unchecked cell growth and division are characteristics of cancer.) According to the BBC, “The researchers believe LMP1 may also have other, as yet undiscovered, effects that could also contribute to the development of cancer.” Professor Robert Souhami, director of clinical research for Cancer Research UK, further pointed out that "Around 15-20% of all cancers are caused by viruses, so it's vital that we get a better handle on the role of viral infection.”

For more on this story, see http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/1/hi/health/3083193.stm.

[Comment: EBV often goes undiagnosed, and can be at the root of many chronic disease conditions, therefore it is wise to screen for it if you suspect it is interfering with your health. As for EBV’s potential to cause cancer, this story only confirms the research of many pioneering cancer researchers, including the late Dr. Virginia Livingston-Wheeler (see http://www.lfmc.net), who have long postulated a vial link to cancer. Unfortunately, their research has been largely ignored by the conventional cancer industry (and first and foremost, that’s what it is – an industry). Professor Souhami’s estimate that “15-20% of all cancers are caused by viruses” may in fact be extremely conservative, and the viral connection to cancer is overall something that is taken far more seriously by holistic and alternative physicians who treat the disease.]

Is Pizza An Anticancer Food?

According to a study published last month in the International Journal of Cancer,”people who ate pizza at least once a week were less likely to develop any of the digestive tract cancers than people who did not eat pizza. In addition, for most types of cancer, the risk dropped steadily the more often pizza was eaten.” The study, conducted by researchers at the Institute of Pharmacologic Research in Milan, analyzed data compiled in Italy between the years 1991 to 2000, and involved more than 3000 patients with a variety of cancers of the digestive tract, such as in the esophagus or colon, who were compared to nearly 5000 similar patients who were cancer-free. The researchers speculate that the reason for their findings may be due to lycopene, and antioxidant found in cooked tomato sauce, and olive oil.

You can read the full story at http://www.reutershealth.com/archive/2003/07/21/eline/links/20030721elin013.html.

[Comment: Much as the Italian in me wants to say, “Mange, mange!” I must point out that pizza may not have the same benefits for people outside of Italy. For two reasons. One, pizza in Italy is not the same as it is in the U.S. and elsewhere. And two, more importantly, the benefits may have a lot to do with the Italians’ metabolic type (hereditary genetics), meaning that the food staples of Italy, while known to be healthy for Italians (as shown by research into the so-called “Mediterranean Diet”), may in fact not be appropriate for people of different ethnic heritages. (For more on the role metabolic type plays in both diet and health, I recommend the book The Metabolic Typing Diet by William Wolcott.)

Classical Homeopathy: An Interview with Kathleen K. Fry, M.D. (Part 1)

[There was a time when, like most Americans, I knew next to nothing about homeopathy. That all changed in the mid 1980s when, while living in Manhattan, I developed a kidney stone and briefly wound up in the hospital, hooked up to an I.V. The pain was excruciating and once it subsided, X-rays showed that the stone was still lodged in my urethra. I was sent home and instructed to drink lots of water. I did so, but weeks later I experienced another intense flare-up of pain that sent me looking for alternative answers to my condition. A friend pointed me in the direction of an homeopathic practitioner deep in the heart of Brooklyn. I had no idea what homeopathy was at the time, but I was desperate, so I took the long subway ride to see the man, who was visiting from his native Trinidad. Within a few minutes of meeting him, I felt I’d wasted my time. The man asked me a long litany of queries that to me had nothing to do with why I had visited him. An hour passed before he finally said he had the information he needed to provide me with the remedy I required. He handed me a small vial of tablets and told me to place four of them under my tongue every five minutes for the next hour, and then two more each hour for the rest of the day. “After tonight, you can stop taking the remedy because tomorrow you will pass the stone and be good as new,” he told me confidently. I proceeded home, convinced he was well-meaning yet deluded about his abilities as a practitioner, but I figured I might as well do as he’d instructed. So I did. Nothing happened for the rest of the day, nor did I notice any improvement when I awoke the next morning. But late that afternoon I had a strong urge to pee and when I did, out gushed my kidney stone. Moreover, as it did so, I felt a very palpable rebalancing of energy throughout my body. Just as the man had said, I felt “good as new.” This experience was pivotal for me, causing me to more seriously investigate holistic healing approaches.

What follows is the first part of a fuller explanation of what homeopathy is and how and why it works from an interview I did a few years ago with Dr. Kathleen Fry, past-president of the American Holistic Medical Association, a leading expert in women’s health issues, and a very skillful homeopathic physician.]

LT: What is homeopathy?

FRY: Homeopathy is a holistic practice of medicine that works by stimulating the body's inherent ability to heal itself. It comes from the Greek words "homoios," meaning “similar," and "pathos," meaning "suffering," and was developed at the end of the 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician. This was before the microscope and before the concept of microbes causing disease. At the time, the theory was that basically all illness arose from an imbalance in what were known as the four humors. When people got sick, the belief was that one of the humors was out of balance. Physicians attempted to restore the balance by bloodletting and using leeches, followed with purgatives and cathartics like arsenic and mercury, which caused violent diarrhea and salivation. Hahnemann was appalled by these practices and came to believe that the cure was worse than the disease itself. In disgust, he gave up his practice. He was married and had seven children to support, so he turned to translating into German the ancient Greek and Latin texts of the great medical practitioners, such as Hippocrates and Paracelsus. As he did so, he realized that other disciplines, other sciences, like physics, for example, have strict universal laws that govern them and do not change. But with medical practice, the laws of medicine seem to change with the wind. And we still notice that today. We think we're making progress and that things are new and improved, but what Hahnemann saw was that the foundation for medical treatment was not founded on any firm principles. So he set out to determine what those principles were. He did this primarily by experimenting on people and studying and reading everything he could find about the theory of medical practice and the basis of medical treatment. During this time, someone brought some cinchona bark from Peru and told Hahnemann that the Peruvians used this substance to cure malaria. Hahnemann was very curious about his and decided to find out exactly why the substance worked. So he took cinchona in small amounts and what do you think happened?

LT: He developed malaria.

Fry: Right. He developed all the symptoms of malaria. So he thought, how can this be? To find out, he started doing what we call provings on all kinds of substances, and in the process of doing so, what he found was the symptom signature of many diseases of the time. By doing provings on himself, his family, and his colleagues, he was responsible for proving over a hundred remedies. He did this by meticulously writing down every single symptom that he had in the process of taking each substance. This included what type of dreams he had, when he got thirsty, when he had a fever, when he had chills, and so on. Then he would catalog these symptom pictures so when someone came to him who had these particular symptoms he could match them to the symptom picture that showed up when he did the proving for mercury or arsenic, for example. Today, we have over 2500 remedies that we use in our materia medica, based on Hahnemann's original provings.

Today, we have certain diseases like Raynaud's phenomenon where people exposed to cold have their hands turn blue and they have joint pain, such as scleroderma, for example. And we have a name for it. You know, we say, this is Raynuad's or this is scleroderma. But to a homeopath, those are all the symptoms that show up in the proving of arsenic. But you can't go ahead and give someone arsenic or mercury, obviously. So what Hahnemann did was figure out how to give these substances to people in such a way that the healing property of the substance was released without harming the patient with side effects. What he came up with was the idea of diluting out these remedies. For example, if he wanted to use arsenic in order to treat someone with the same disease symptoms as those that had shown up in the arsenic proving, he would take a small amount of arsenic and dilute it in a hundred drops of alcohol and then shake it a hundred times. Actually, he whacked it a hundred times on the family Bible, and that was a 1C dilution. Then he would take one drop of that 1C solution and put it in 100 drops of alcohol, and shake, or succus, that a hundred times, and so on. What he found was that the more times he diluted the remedy and the more times he succussed it, the more potent the remedy was. A remedy that has been diluted 200 times is much more potent than one which has been diluted three times, for example.

LT: Is there an explanation for how that works? As the remedy continues to be diluted the amount of the original substance becomes less and less, correct?

Fry: Correct. The explanation lies in the fact that everything in nature has two components, an energetic component and a material component. As you dilute the remedy you lessen its material component, but by the combination of dilution and succession, you then strengthen the energetic component. We think that what happens is that something on an energetic level gets imprinted on the alcohol or the water we use as a dilution. It probably works at the level of quantum physics, of quantum mechanics, and we don't yet have any instruments that are sensitive enough to measure it, yet we see that it works in clinical practice. When you match a patient with the right remedy it's like finding the right key for a lock. To see people who are cured of chronic diseases they've had for years and years is the most remarkable and rewarding thing.

LT: When you go to an allopathic or conventional physician, you basically say I feel this in my body and the doctor then attempts to treat your physical symptom. But in order to deduce the symptom picture as you've described it, a homeopathic physician has to explore quite a bit of the actual personality of the patient, including mental and emotional aspects. Is that correct?

Fry: Exactly. Because, on an energetic level, human beings are like tuning forks, and we each vibrate in a different key. And within that energetic state that you vibrate in you have a spectrum of health and disease. So, if you're a healthy C major type tuning fork, your signal is strong and vibrant and carries a long way. But if you're weak, your vital force, as we call it, is not going to give off much of a signal. Homeopathy looks at where you are on the spectrum of health and disease, because what you want to figure out is the remedy state that the patient basically vibrates in. So we look at the whole picture. Who are the patients as people; energetically, where are they at? What kinds of foods do they like, what are their sleep patterns like, what type of personality do they have? Are they sloppy or are they fastidious?

I grew up in a family of five children. We have the same parents, we went to the same schools, we ate the same food every day, and we even wore the same clothes because we went to Catholic school and wore uniforms. But we were five different and unique individuals, and when we got sick, we did so in various ways. Homeopathy explains that because the five of us are in different energy states, and therefore we have different remedy states, as well. So when I sit down a take somebody's case, I'm looking at not only what symptoms they have, but who they basically are when they're in a healthy state. Actually, that's one of the profounder aspects of homeopathy. Not only to be able to treat illness and make symptoms go away, but to take somebody who is still in a fairly healthy state and put them on a remedy that boosts their vital force and prevents them from getting ill. I've been under homeopathic care for five years myself and I haven’t been sick in all that time. I can't tell you the last time I took a Tylenol or something like that.

LT: What does a homeopathic consultation entail?

Fry: I schedule two hours with my patient for a first consultation. That's the typical range, an hour and a half to two hours. The teacher I study with, who happens to be a genius, figures out a patient's remedy in the first 15 minutes, but that's because he's been doing it for a long time.

Basically, I let my patients talk, because I find that the disease, as it has to come out, will manifest in a certain way. So we pay attention to what they say, how they say it, the things they talk about, and so on. Some people will talk for two straight hours and you don’t have to ask a question. In homeopathy, we call that loquacious, so you know you're looking for a loquacious remedy. Other people sit there and barely say a word; it's like pulling teeth to get anything out of them. These are the people who tend to be closed and private and they don't want to share much, so obviously they have a different remedy state.

I also pay attention to how my patients conduct themselves in the interview, and also, funnily enough, what kind of clothing they wear. People who benefit from what we call the snake remedies, for example, tend to be pretty flashy in the clothes they wear, whereas people who need remedies that come from plants tend to have a softer side to them. And people who need remedies derived from minerals tend to be straightforward and have kind of a hard edge to them, depending on their remedy. Then we look at what foods they like, what foods aggravate them, and I talk with them about their sleep and their dreams. Dreams can be very important for determining remedies for people.

LT: As you're having to consider all of these various factors, it sounds like finding the right remedy can be a matter of trial and error.

Fry: You know, most of it is. With homeopathy there's not a lab test that tells you what your patients need. Basically you give them the remedy and watch the body to see what it does. For example, I have a patient who I'm treating who's a brutal diabetic and for about two years neither I nor any of the homeopaths I consulted with could determine the remedy for her, but then one day I took her to see my teacher and on the way to see him, I realized what she needed. And sure enough, without my telling him, he confirmed it. So she's taking the remedy.

When I next saw her, there was no change in her blood sugar levels. Actually, they got a little bit worse. But when I looked at her, I could see a definite shift in her energy. She's more animated. Then she developed an abscess on her thigh. You have to be really careful when diabetics develop an abscess like this. Their blood sugars can be out of whack, they can develop gangrene, and so on. But in my patient's case, this is the first symptom she's ever had of all the remedies I've given her. This shows me that her body has, in a sense, developed an outlet for this disease she has. Not only does she suffer from diabetes, she also has severe depression. But her mood is lightening up and she has a lighter way of being, yet she has this abscess on her thigh. If I give her antibiotics and suppress the abscess, what's going to happen is that her depression is going to get worse. Again, as homeopaths, we look at the whole person and all of their symptoms. When she developed her abscess, I felt grateful, because I see the abscess as an outlet for her disease. It doesn't even make sense to talk about it using a western vocabulary, but I think of her condition as a pressure cooker. If you have a pressure cooker with a steam valve, the steam has to come out in order to keep the pot from exploding. If you keep the valve from being opened, then the pot is going to explode. In a sense, that's how it is with us when we get disease in our system. So, in this woman's case, when I saw the abscess, I went up on her remedy and I didn't give her an antibiotic, and I won't, because I know if I do I'm going to make her sicker. Instead, I'm keeping a close eye on her, and when I spoke with her yesterday, she said the abscess is much less painful.

LT: In other words, metaphorically, this woman's abscess is the steam valve her body is using to release her disease.

Fry: Yes. All symptoms are like that. Consider children born with eczema. They have this skin rash and they go to the doctor and he puts them on steroids. The eczema fades away, but then they develop asthma. You see, the skin is a relatively innocuous organ. If you get a rash, you itch and it's unsightly, but it's not like your heart stops. The way homeopaths think of it is there's some kind of imbalance that the body has produced a symptom in response to in order to maintain balance. When somebody develops a rash - and it could come from anything that sets them out of balance - bad food, a severe stress reaction, depression - the rash is basically the body's way of trying to compartmentalize it.

As another example of how this works, consider a tax accountant during tax season. He's working like a dog, up late and living on coffee and donuts instead of resting and getting some sleep. This depletes his vital force and the body, instead of shutting down completely, develops a sore throat. If the accountant is paying attention, he'll realize he needs to get some rest, to eat better, and so on, and the body within that context can probably let go of the sore throat. But in our society, what do we do? We go to the doctor and he swabs our throat and tells us we have strep. We've probably always had strep in our throat, but he gives us an antibiotic and we take it. So, not only have we deprived the body of an outlet for the disease known as overwork, bad food and no sleep, we've also added a foreign substance in our body that the body has to deal with. So the accountant continues to work, his sore throat goes away, but his stress level increases and he develops bronchitis. The doctor gives him a stronger antibiotic and he's got the effect of the first antibiotic, the effect of the second antibiotic, and the continued burden of his overwork and so forth. Then something else happens to add to his stress level and his vital force is depleted even more, resulting in him coming down with pneumonia. And the reason he develops pneumonia is that he's no longer well enough to have a sore throat. A sore throat is a small symptom. But because of all those things that have depleted his vital force, his body has to come up with a more serious symptom picture to, in a sense, match the strength of the things that caused the disease in the first place.

Do you see what I'm saying? This is how homeopaths think. When I see women in my office in their 60s who are on seven pills they have to take four times a day, in my view I see that their health has deteriorated over time to the point that they have to take more and more medication just to suppress their symptoms. Getting back to my diabetic patient, she's been a brutal diabetic since she was a child. Basically she has no pancreas so she's always going to be on insulin. But in cases of adult onset diabetes, over time, if you get them early enough, you can strengthen the vital force enough to remove those symptoms. What I see happen over time with people who are successfully treated homeopathically is that their symptoms go away, they get off their medicine, and they're restored to health.

[My interview with Dr. Fry will conclude next week.]

Carol D writes: “Dear Larry, I think you are doing an excellent job with The Health Plus Letter and the www.1healthyworld.com. But why is there no picture of you on the medical advisory board section of the site, especially since there are photos of all the other board members?”

A number of readers have asked the same question since 1HW launched. The answer is simply because I have not had time to get a digital photograph of myself taken. I’ll do so eventually, but I also want to say that, even though I am responsible for all of the content that is included on 1HW and in The Health Plus Letter, I am not interested in either of them being perceived as being about me. I view my role first and foremost as being the messenger for the many brilliant physicians and healers it’s my privilege to know, and for spreading the word about the many benefits that all of us can derive from the world of holistic medicine. That’s where the focus belongs, not on me.
