Does aloe cure cancer? This question has been asked a lot latley. The word cure means restoration to health or a sound condition. This would simply mean that if you had Cancer you would be restore to health. Your physical condition would be like it once was before you got cancer. In the Bible, in Jesus and beyond, men and woman were cure by Jesus and His disciples. If we take a look at the some of the one that were cure of their diseases we will notice several things. They were in some cases examined and it was reported that they were no longer in the sick state that they were once in. As a matter of fact they were just as well as any other person in that town. They had to take no medications, use no forms of equipment to get around or have to constantly keep checking themselves to see if the sickness or disease had return.
I quess I must ask the question does Jesus or His Father cure like this today. Has he forgotten that His creation suffer greatly from sickness and disease. The answer to this question is yes and no. By faith I say this because of two passages of scripture in the Holy Bible.One of the passages is found in the book of Exodus.It says'"If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee". That passage is found in Exodus 15:26 and the other is found in 3 John 1 :2,"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth".
God wants us to be in good health. He wants us to be in good health and live so bad that he sent His son not only die for our sins, but also to restore us to the original state of man. He came to save us from our sins. Our sins have brought on sickness and disease in many cases. But, inspite of our action he still wants us to have life and life more abundantly. "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth". Has He abandone us? I have to say no. He has provided solution and this is just one of many. Does Aloe cure? I would have to say no. Why? Aloe doesn't cure the disease, but it does something even more amazing. It build up the body's immune system to fight off disease. When using this herb it gives us time to see how the wonderful machinery that we have been given works. This process also helps us to depend on God each and every as we as trying to build up the immune system. Let's take a look at what others are saying.

LifeStyle Medicine vs. Preventive Medicine
According to Wikipedia Preventative Medicine is defined this way, "Preventive Medicine or preventive care refers to measures taken to prevent illness or injury, rather than curing them". "It can be contrasted not only with curative medicine, but also with public health methods (which work at the level of population health rather than individual health)".There is another type of medicine that should be considered and that is "Lifestyle Medicine". What is Lifestyle Medicine? "Lifestyle Medicine (LM) is the use of lifestyle interventions in the treatment and management of disease. Such interventions include diet (nutrition), exercise, stress management, smoking cessation, and a variety of other non-drug modalities". "A growing body of scientific evidence has demonstrated that lifestyle intervention is an essential component in the treatment of chronic disease that can be as effective as medication, but without the risks and unwanted side-effects". This definition is given by the The American College of Lifestyle Medicine. I believe that Lifesytle Medicine is the medicine that this world so desperately need right now. What do you think?

Type 2 Diabetes Part 1
Some years ago an experiment was conducted to see how fast a person could become a diabetic. This will actually shock some of you because when a person is called a diabetic or has sugar diabetes he or she automatically thinks that they should stop eating sugar. There is of course different types of sugar. So, some are confuse on what type of sugars they shouldn't eat. But, you must hear this when this experiment was conducted they found out that they could create a diabetic faster by feeding these little boys oil (fats) than sugar. Actually, a diabetic should be called a carbohydrate diabetic, even this term doesn't seem do it any justice. You see we play on words when we speak. Sugar can be sugar that is in the fruits, nuts, grains and vegetables. Then there's sugar that has been isolated from the fruit, grain, nut or vegetable. That latter is the problem. This is called refine sugar. What about the oil or fat. There is fat in fruits, nuts, grains and vegetables. The problem is the refined fat or fat extract out of the fruits, nuts, grains and vegetables. For example, Corn oil, vegetable oil, coconut oil, palm oil, canola oil, etc. Did you know that it takes about 9 feet of sugar cane to get 1 table spoon of sugar and 10-12 ears of corn to get 1 tablespoon of oil.
Would you sit down and eat 9 feet of sugar cane in one sitting? No way! What about eating 10-12 ears of corn in one sitting? No Way! We are eating these levels two and three times in one sitting. This is why our bodies are malfunctioning. It takes longer to process fat and also it overtaxes the pancreas. So, the statement made in the last article is correct.A low fat diet,plant food diet and exercise will reverse diabetes. The NEWSTART Program is a program that emphasizes lifestyle change. NEWSTART is a acronym for Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunshine, Temperance, Air, Rest and Trust in Divine Power. In the next article I will attempt to dig a little dipper on individual parts of the NEWSTART Plan. If you have type 2 diabetes there is hope.

Good News for People with Type 2 Diabetes!
"Medical research confirms that up to 50% of people with Type 2 diabetes can eliminate diabetes risks and discontinue medication within three weeks by adopting a low-fat, plant food diet and regular daily exercise."
Anderson, JW and Ward, K: High Carbohydrate, High fiber diets for insulin-treated men with diabetes mellitus. Am J Clin Nutr, 1979; 32:2312-21.
Science Agrees... Tests confirm low-fat diet alone reversed type 2 diabetes in laboratory animals.
In a scientific study released on September 9, 1998, " . . . While doctors have long known that weight loss can control diabetes, this is the first scientific study to show that type 2 diabetes can be completely reversed in animals by cutting dietary fat. Moreover, the findings suggest that reducing fat, not just weight, is a primary mechanism behind the reversal."
Richard Surwit, PhD et al, September '98 Metabolism. Duke University
A concurrent program at Weimar's NEWSTART® Lifestyle Center, in which type 2 diabetes patients eat a low-fat diet and exercise daily, is experiencing a similar success in reversing diabetes. Many are completely off all insulin and medication with a normal blood sugar. Neuropathy has been reversed and renal function improved in many. Atherosclerosis, the big killer of people with diabetes, also responds favorably to the NEWSTART® program.
* 50% of people with type 2 diabetes have normal blood sugar without medication in as little as three weeks.
* 80% with diabetic neuropathy have no more pain in their feet and hands.
* Other benefits of working this plan include:
* 80% of men have normal blood pressure without medication.
* a 25% drop in cholesterol is common.
* a 35% increase in exercise capacity occurs.

The Smile Of A Warrior
I have been very busy this past week. But, I realize that some things are more important than others. The health of friends and family is of the utmost important to me. This week I have been working on a series of articles on diabetes. I believe in making things simple. I also believe that there is no room for mistakes when it comes down to helping others. When a Doctor makes a mistake lives are lost or weighed in the balance. One of the most devastating effects when a mistake is made is hope and confidence is scattered. Hope and confidence are aids to healing. The one who is sick and desire to get well must have the hope and confident attitude. It is true that those that have had hope die while trying to get well. But, so many have survived because of this hope and confidence that they have deep within. The confident attitude has a powerful effect on the body that medicine could never supply. This week I lost a friend. I think we all have lost a friend. Perhaps, many of us have never met him, but we remember him from his days in Oklahoma and in the NBA. He will be missed. We will miss his game, his music and his confidence. I think most of all we will miss his passion for life and his smile.

What Can I Do For Swine Flu?
The question that is now being asked around the world is'"what can I do to prevent Swine Flu"? The other question that is being asked is,"what can I do if I catch Swine Flu"? In the video above you will receive some helpful hints. I have to say that it's all about the immune system. The immune system must be boosted to prevent most diseases, if not all. One other factor is the ph balance of the body. The ph balance should be alkaline. Without getting to technical I'll just put it this way. Viruses will thrive in an acid environment. There are certain foods that we eat and drink that are high in acid. Theses foods are mainly denatured foods, with a few exceptions. What are denatured foods? These are foods that have been altered from their original state during processing, manufacturing or by other means. First, we must understand this there is acid then there's Acid. When we think of acid foods certain foods come to mind like lemons, limes, oranges or other citric fruits. These foods which contain citric acid," metabolize in the body to an alkaline ash". These citric foods are fine. It is the acid-forming foods which cause problems. I will attempt to break-down these food in several acid categories.
First, let's look at acetic acid. Vinegar contains acetic acid. What's wrong with vinegar? Vinegar "lessens the the alkaline reserve of the blood and tends to produce acidosis. Osis has to do with process or condition. Acidosis refers to an acid condition. In this case we are talking about an acid condition in the body. This is the condition that vinegar creates. Don't kill the messenger or the message. There is hope, vinegar can be substituted with lemon juice without the negative effects. The next acid that we are going to look at is Tannic acid. This acid "effect the mucous membrane of the digestive tract and especially the stomach".
It should also be noted that these acid foods, coffee, cocoa and some tea (mainly) caffeinated teas are culprits. Again, I must say don't kill the messenger. There are substitutes for coffee, cocoa and certain teas. Have you ever noticed that whatever you drink coffee it seems to effect your stomach and your breath? Whatever normally effects the stomach will effect the breath. Hmmmmmmmm.... Here are a list of substitutes that you may consider, roasted fruits, grains, herbs and nuts. I think that it would be best to give a few product names, Roma, Rostaroma,Teechino,Cafix, Pero and Postum. There are other that can be found in your local health store.
The last acid that will cause problem with boosting the immunity is oxalic acid.
This acid the body can not metabolize. To get rid of this acid it calls on the body to send out calcium. If there is no calcium in the reserves then the calcium will then come from the teeth and bones. What are some of the names of these foods? "Beet greens, parslane leaves, spinach, Swiss chard, rhubarb stems,cocoa, sorrel, black pepper,tea" are just some of the names of the oxalic acid foods. It is the caffeinated tea and processed teas that are also problems. Most of the items on this list can be substituted with a vegetable. Black Pepper can perhaps be replaced by Mrs. Dash herbal seasoning, Grain of Paradise or your homemade herbal/seed blend.
There are other factors that I have yet to mention about acid foods and denatured foods. Did you know that white rice, white flour,white noodles, etc are consider to be denatured foods? In most cases if it's white and it's not made from a potatoes then your might want to avoid it as much as possible. Most, if not all white rice, white flour, white noodles and white sugar has had most of the nutrient and fiber take out. Whole grain rices and flour are better for the immune system.
In conclusion, I must say with some alteration in the diet the immune system will be boosted. Some immune boosting foods that can assist the body in healing itself and prevent disease are Aloe Vera (Dr.Ritter), echinacea, pau d arco, garlic, onions, pineapple, broccoli, carrots,oranges, lemons, etc. There is one non-food item tha should also be considered in assist the body in healing itself and that is Dr. Hulda Clarks zapper.
Remember, there are laws that govern our being. Good whole foods,exercise,water, sunshine, temperance (don't over eat,or eat/drink that which is harmful), fresh air, proper sleep (7-8hour,preferably before 10pm) and trust in God.
Ex15:26 ..."if thou will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all of His statues, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I am the Lord that health thee".
Until, next time don't forget, Let's Stay Healthy to(2).
