The Healing Power Of The Mind Vs The Placebo Effect

Let’s look at the healing power of the mind and how the placebo effect relates.

All research for science needs to have better than a 30% effect because 30% is known as placebo. Thirty percent of people will get better no matter what you give them.

It’s that pat on the back and it’s telling them it’s going to be okay. Thirty percent is a pretty hefty number. When a report says that a certain something was found to be significantly better than something else, what they mean is it had to have statistical significance above 30%.

That is a substantial number and that’s what placebo means. In the old days, it was called the sugar pill. They had two groups. They gave the real pill or the pharmaceutical pill to one group and the sugar pill to the second group. They found that 30% of the people were getting better with the sugar pill.

Here’s the way it works. Healing is innate. It is the nature of nature. As an example, you pick an apple from a tree and next season you have two apples. You pull weeds up from the garden and then you turn around and they’re back.

You cut your hand and it heals. That is the nature of nature; to regenerate, rejuvenate and procreate. These are just examples of nature and what it will do. The only thing that blocks this are impediments. For example, what blocks water from running downhill; a dam. If you remove the dam, the water will continue to flow downhill. Since humans are psychological, spiritual and physical, our mind can often block us. And, the body will listen to the mind.

The Healing Power of the Mind Is The Fourth Pillar of our Healing Program

There was this experiment in psychology where they had people who were blindfolded pick up these glowing hot metal rods with their hands. They put the rods down and they put an ice cube in their hands and their hands shriveled up as if they had burned. However, they hadn’t been burned.

The mind is very powerful in regards to healing. We focus on the mind in our fourth pillar in our healing program. After first teaching people to stop producing cancer, then we target and eliminate it without doing harm to the body. Thirdly, we get the immune system back up and functioning properly.

It’s up the person with cancer to bring in number four; they have to know they are going to make it. This is where the healing power of the mind comes into play. How do you answer the question of “am I going to make it”? When your cutting up an apple and you slice your finger open, you don’t believe it’s going to heal, you know it will heal.

A person can only believe in something that is not true. People can believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. People don’t believe in rocks or trees. You either know about rocks and trees or you don’t. The same way the person knows that their cut is going to heal, they need to know that they will heal from cancer.

Ketogenic Diet For Cancer

Is there such a thing as a ketogenic diet for cancer that is effective?

There absolutely is but I believe there is a misconception in what that diet actually consists of so let’s talk about it. Let’s first discuss what a ketogenic diet for cancer should not include; animal products such as steak and prime rib. This is not how you heal from cancer.

A true ketogenic diet for cancer needs to have its foundation in fat. In fact, you need 60-70% coming from fat as part of your diet.  And, no, it’s not the Atkins diet. You can’t eat a cheese and sausage omelet with a side of bacon and expect to live a long and healthy life.

To get to 60-70% fat from a vegan diet takes a while. The good news is, we have developed many recipes and dishes that are exactly in this range. They are raw and vegan and contain 60-70% fat. You can’t achieve this randomly, it takes years of experience and knowledge. We share and teach this to people who visit An Oasis of Healing.

You must have an ability to check your ketone levels. Why is it important to know what you are doing here? If your sugar gets too low, that’s dangerous and you can also produce too many ketones. When too many ketones are produced, you can develop keto acidosis.

This is what happens to Type 1 diabetics. Type 1 diabetics who don’t have any insulin end up going into keto acidosis. It is even possible to die from this so it is not something you can take lightly. It’s important to undergo a ketogenic diet for cancer under a medical team’s supervision who knows what they are doing.

A Ketogenic Diet for Cancer Needs To Be Managed by an Experienced Medical Team

Ketones are measured a couple of times a day to keep them at a certain point as well as the PH of your urine so you stay in a balanced place. A typical ketogenic diet we conduct here at our center lasts 6 weeks. When a person leaves our center and goes home, they can continue this and do a 4-week ketogenic diet followed by 2-3 months of a healthy 80% raw, 20% cooked food diet.

What’s important to understand is when you are eating 20% cooked food as part of your diet, it’s not that you need it. You’re doing this to feed your tongue but it’s okay. It’s okay to do things to feel good, you have to. If you don’t feel good about what you’re doing, if you feel like you’re a victim or that you are deprived, that’s not good.

Feeling like this will affect your immune system in a negative way. If you think that there is a certain food that you will never be able to eat again and this makes you upset, it is not healthy. If this is the case, apply the 20% rule and use in moderation. It’s important to live in happiness.

Now, don’t make that 20% a cheeseburger! Make it some steamed broccoli and some quinoa as an example. These will taste good and please you that way but remember, they won’t have life or energy in them anymore, hence the 20% total of your diet.

Remember the purpose of food, to supply you with life’s energy so always eat the majority of that food in its natural state, raw.

The Sun And Moon And How We Relate To Them

What is our relationship with the sun and moon?

The part of our lifestyle that we should have learned by the time we turned 18 is our relationship with the sun and moon. The sun and the moon are incredibly important to us and how we function. There are two types of creatures, nocturnal and diurnal.

Diurnal means that we awaken to the sun and we go to sleep as it sets. Our hormones are established based on being diurnal. When we live this way, we can get close to optimal functioning.

When we look at the science of these things, we know that when we got to sleep before 10:00pm, the amount of melatonin we produce is far greater than going to bed later.  Going to bed at 8:00pm is optimal.

Melatonin is made by the pineal gland and it does so many things in the body. It’s most important function is establishing the sleep cycle for us. Melatonin starts the process of getting sleepy and the eyes start to close, etc.

In addition to helping the sleep cycle, it turns out that every melatonin molecule because of its configuration, can pick up four hydroxyl radicals. These hydroxyl radicals are by products of all kinds of metabolic processes. Some of these metabolic processes occur naturally and some occur from the body fighting off toxins.

These hydroxyl radicals are potent and they accumulate. Throughout the day as we are engaged in our activities, we are accumulating many different metabolic waste products with the one big one being hydroxyl radicals.

The Sun and Moon and Us

If enough of these radicals accumulate then there is oxidative stress and chronic inflammation develops and that is what we need to stay away from. Getting proper rest and going to bed in line with the sun and moon, between 8-10pm and waking as the sun comes up goes a long way in keeping us healthy.

We all came into this world before computers and our best friend was our imagination. We could pick up a stick and that stick could be anything we wanted it to be. These days, it’s almost impossible to have an imagination.

The children aren’t allowed to have an imagination now as all these video games have all the options preset for them. They have to function within those options and they have to learn to think that way. In today’s society, children are being raised more by machines than by humans.

Our children are the first generation to interact with machines more than they do with humans. This has become “the norm” in our society.

We are land mammal primates and our food is the plant kingdom which includes, plants, fruits, nuts, seeds, the roots, etc. The most important part to learn about eating is we don’t have to eat that much function normally. The less you eat, the longer you will live and the happier you will be.

It turns out, it is best to eat one meal a day and have some fresh juices around that one meal. Just as important as optimal eating is elimination. We should all know that we need to eliminate daily. Keeping our colon clean is vital to maintaining our health.

Why Is Taking Medicine For Cancer Necessary

Taking medicine for cancer is necessary at present because in my opinion there is a lack of faith and understanding.

Let me share why one who has faith and knowledge, requires no medicine for cancer. This story as an example of tremendous faith exhibited by an individual. A woman came to see me in June of 2001. She had stage 4 advanced cancer all over her body and a large breast mass.

She said that she didn’t want to do anything other than the lifestyle your talking about which is whole raw foods and green juicing. She didn’t want any intravenous vitamin c treatments or anything like that.

I asked if she would just come back to see me monthly so I could examine her mass and she said yes. Each time she came to see me, she was getting better and better and able to do more and more. In January of 2002, 6 months later she had an unfortunate fatal car accident.

When they did an autopsy, they found no cancer! If you were to ask her if she needed a pill, well, you know the answer. Simply amazing that there was no cancer and sad that we lost her in that car accident.

In all my experience, I have rarely met someone with that level of knowledge and faith. We are actually sitting in the “magic pill”, it’s our bodies. Our body is the magic pill and contains all the medicine we could ever need.

Our bodies magically heal. We cut it and it heals. Are you aware of anything artificially made that heals itself? How about a $20B space shuttle, a Maserati or a Stealth bomber, can they heal themselves, no they can’t.

Is Medicine for Cancer The Answer or is  it Reconnecting with Nature 

What are we looking for when we take medicine or a pill? We are looking for healing and the healing is in us. The body is always healing, we need to learn to get out of the way.

Will pharmaceuticals ever be a thing of the past? I say yes, they will. I view pharmaceuticals the same way I view snake oil salesman. The snake oil salesman used to say, take this pill or portion and it will cure what ails you. The idea that the snake oil salesman or the modern day pharmaceutical industry is the answer is crazy, neither one works.

And, this is how you know their model doesn’t work. If doctors knew what they were doing then hospitals would be empty today. Instead there is waiting room only!

Let’s take an example of high blood pressure. The conventional model would have you take a drug to bring it down and within normal limits. The alternative or traditional model would give you an IV of magnesium. Magnesium would lower the blood pressure immediately without any harm.

In most cases except trauma and surgery, there is a natural way to deal with these conditions. Even with heart attacks, Dr. Farr showed us that you can reverse them with hydrogen peroxide injections. Hydrogen peroxide is a natural substance that every cell makes.

Bottom line is pharmaceuticals are based on a false belief.  We are all at varying degrees away from optimal functioning. Optimal functioning of the organism is health. We need to stay as close to nature and natural methods as possible to attain and maintain health.

Can You Be Addicted To Food?

Can you be addicted to food, the answer is an astounding yes!

Humanity is addicted to food, this is a sad fact. People live to eat in place of eating to live. When the question of can you be addicted to food is raised, you will be able to provide a very accurate answer based on what you’re about to read.

What is in the food? What is in broccoli that is so important? In addition to what we have identified as macro-nutrients; carbs, protein and fats and micro-nutrients; vitamins and minerals, there is a third element in food which is absolutely essential.

That third element is called “life”. It’s the spark of life and that spark of life comes from light. If you have ever looked or read things from a biblical perspective, then you know the first thing out of God’s mouth was let there be light. It’s that light that hits the tree and splits it apart. That light turns into APT and if you get into the science of it, you would be blown away. This light that I’m referencing is in the food and it’s what you need more than anything.

Why is it that we need this light? This light in a biological organism is electricity. It is the flow of electrons. If you don’t think you’re an electromagnetic being or entity, just consider what happens in the hospital when a person starts to get a flat line. What happens with a flat line? You have people running around you grabbing electrical paddles, putting them on your chest and giving you electricity. If we want to know if an organism is alive or not, we put an EKG on them or some sort of electrode to pick up the electrical output.

When I look at an EKG, I look at the waveform, the height and the rhythm. I can see from that EKG just how healthy that person’s heart is as that is the electrical output. You can do the same process with the brain, it’s called the EEG and the same thing with a muscle which is called an EMG.

Can You Be Addicted to Food Dr. Lodi Explains Why We All Are

To prove that all living biological organisms have electricity, let’s look at a potato clock. Two electrodes plugged into a potato and it runs the clock for a couple of weeks until the potato dies. It works because the potato is alive, it has a bio-electric charge. How well do you think the clock would run if you baked the potato? The answer should be self-evident, it wouldn’t run as the potato would be dead. If you had any questions about whether you wanted to eat a baked potato versus an uncooked potato, then you must realize what it is you want to do?

Do you want to please your tongue or do you want to live? If you go to a Doctor and he doesn’t do what he’s telling you to do, you would say, hey, wait a minute. That which is necessary to be restored to health, the same is necessary to retain health. There is no difference and there should never be a difference. One should not wait until they are sick to start living the correct lifestyle. When you look around the world, what you won’t see if another creature aside from us humans destroying their food before they eat it!

Animals don’t barbecue, steam or boil their food, they just eat it and gain the maximum benefit as a result. We, as humans do not and everywhere you look, you see sick people. Why, because we are addicted to fast food, processed food, not whole foods that we should be consuming. When you take a chemistry class, they give you a Bunsen burner. The Bunsen burner is there because you need fire to accelerate and cause chemical reactions. Without the Bunsen burner, you can’t have a chemistry lab.

A cook is a chemist. They are altering the food that nature provided. Cooking food is altering and changing it and every one of us is addicted to it.  So, can you be addicted to food, I believe you now know the answer. It is one of the most addictive things in the world. It trumps heroin and cigarettes, that’s what food is to us today.

Is It Safe To Detox And Cleanse With A Liver Tumor

Is it safe to detox and cleanse while having liver cancer?

The answer is yes, it is safe to detox and cleanse while having a tumor in your liver. Let’s walk through the explanation of why it is safe from several different angles.

The reason this cancer formed is from an accumulation of toxins. That accumulation of toxins sends in certain signals and blocks other signals. The result is the cell is responding to its environment, the epigenetics. If the epigenetics of a cell or what the cell is swimming in is mostly toxins then they can actually damage different parts of the cell.

The most vulnerable part of a cell is the mitochondria because they have oxygen and oxidative by products so they are easily destroyed. They then have to be replaced and they do that on their own as they don’t need the nucleus with its DNA as they have their own DNA.

When enough of these mitochondria have been damaged then the cell goes into a default mode of energy production called glycolysis or fermentation. This chronic fermentative state then signals the nucleus to produce genes called oncogenes. This is a metabolic process and is driven by the metabolism of a cell which is a response of the environment around it.

It becomes clear that what we need to do to reverse this process is change environment that surrounds the cell. This process is called detoxification. The beauty of detoxification is that it is not something that you do, it is something that happens. It’s happening all the time. Our cells are continually cleaning house. They are producing and performing their function as it’s part of what they do.

Detox and Cleanse with all Cancers

It’s important that what we do is to stop “retoxing” or putting toxins in our body. When we stop putting toxins into our body, then our body will naturally detox and cleanse all on its own. This is what is called a fast.

The question that comes up now is, can detoxing at anytime become a problem as a result of toxins being released into the blood. When a large volume of toxins are released into the bloodstream it can cause a person to become sick. This is true for people who are very sick and for very obese people who can release a large amount of toxins versus someone who is not obese. This does need to be looked after and managed properly.

One of the more important things to do is to make sure you are cleaning out your system as best as you can while detoxing. Cleaning out your system involves cleansing your colon and drinking enough fluid so that your kidneys are being flushed. It also involves exercise, getting adequate rest at the appropriate times and lymphatic massages.

There are numerous things that go into a detox and cleanse and it absolutely can be done while having a tumor in your liver and it should be done.  Detoxing should and must be done with all cancers.
