I don’t think it outrageous of me to opine that the world – far from being a happy, rosy place – is currently mean-spirited, with humanity fighting each other with vicious, sour abandon. Regardless of whether you look at historical films such as 1917, Nazi Germany holocaust camps, films from Syria’s Idlib, Twitter Feeds populated with opponents slogging it out, the tragic suicide of Love-Island’s host Caroline Flack; harmony and peace are definitely not operative words to describe the emotional climate of the world we currently inhabit.

Dr Patrick Quanten eloquently states in his article A History of a Healthcare System:

“For over a century we have been using radiation and chemotherapy to fight cancer and even though we all observe that people are not being cured of the cancerous process by these methods we persist in our habits. But that, I can guarantee you, won't continue.”

Nicholas Gonzalez MD successfully treated many cancer patients before his premature and much mourned death. Here are but a few nuggets from his  article (transcribed from audio) Four Reasons Why Cancer Patients Routinely Die:

“First Mistake: they Panic

“If you are in a state of panic and you have cancer, you are not going to make it no matter what therapy you choose, chemo, radiation, surgery, laetrile, Burton, Gonzalez, Kelley...When you are in a state of panic, your sympathetic nervous system turns on...When the blood supply is cut down to an organ or to an organ system because of sympathetic over-discharge, you can’t get therapeutic agents to that tumour. If you have a cancer in your intestine, or in your pancreas or in your breast and your sympathetic system is turned on because of over-anxiety and panic, the blood supply to that tumour is going to be turned off, and no therapeutic agent is going to get to that tumour, it doesn’t matter if its chemotherapy or enzymes, it’s not going to get there. 

“The Second Mistake: Inability to Make a Decision

“If you can’t make a decision and pick a therapy and stick with it, you’re not going to make it, or your chances are going to be much, much less than they would be otherwise.”

The Orthomolecular Medicine News Service – OMNS –  have published updates about research regarding Vitamin C against COVID-19 coronavirus, some of which has been included in the Letters to the Editor of this Issue.

“The Japanese College of Intravenous Therapy (JCIT) recommends intravenous vitamin C (IVC) 12.5/25g (12,500 - 25,000 mg) for acute viral infections (influenza, herpes zoster, common cold, rubella, mumps, etc.) and virus mimetic infections (idiopathic sudden hearing loss, Bell's palsy). In adults, IVC 12.5g is given for early stage illness with mild symptoms, and IVC 25g for moderate to severe symptoms. IVC is usually administered once or twice a day for 2-5 continuous days, along with or without general treatments for viral infections.”

Can Beliefs Impact the Immune System explores how our mind affects our well-being:

“The immune system impacts every cell.  When we say that we are feeling down, every cell feels down.  Feeling down might manifest in a certain body area but the ‘down feeling’ is registered universally. This reaction is subconscious and a person can be consciously unaware of being depressed but the immune system will still register depression.  This being so, then the beliefs which give rise to depression and its effects on the immune system would be the prime area for investigation.”
