Super-bugs are coming to our schools and work places! Learn How "Thieves Oil" Can Help

Teri & Janet at Young Living Convention  Guest author Janet McBride shows how to protect your family from virulent super-bugs!   Janet McBride Young Living Platinum Leader From the desk of Janet McBride Super-bugs are coming to a school near you! It’s back to school time, complete with textbooks, backpacks...and Super-Bugs! These nasty, hard-to-kill pests have mutated and strengthened from the overuse of antibiotics and synthetic drugs, creating a deadly force that targets your family’s health.  What are you training your children to do to protect themselves from the onslaught of mutating viruses and Super Bugs?  Hand sanitizers - more risky than you’ve been led to believe Advertisers do their best to convince parents that popular hand sanitizers will stop the spread of the super-bug pestilence. But they don’t tell you about their dangerous side effects! This popular TV show blew the whistle on hand sanitizer safety As reported on The Doctors, a popular TV show, the alcohol content of commercial hand sanitizers is 62%, vs 5-12% in beer and wine.  If children lick the nice, fruity smelling sanitizer from their hands, they’ll be ingesting alcohol which could be fatal! Click to watch this segment of The Doctors shows why reading labels and teaching your children to do the same can change the face of health for future generations.  New York Times reports on safe ways to avoid super-bugs Is there a safe and effective way to protect your kids from emerging viruses and Super Bugs? Absolutely! The solution was given by our Creator 6,000 years ago in the form of herbs, grasses and therapeutic grade essential oils is now proven effective through scientific testing as was published in the New York Times. CLICK HERE  to read more... Alcohol-free hand sanitizers are the safe answer! The power of essential oil-fortified Thieves Hand Sanitizers and Foaming Hand Soap gives the highest level of protection without the dangerous side effects of toxic chemicals and alcohol. The entire Thieves anti-microbial essential oil collection works in concert to guard against all manner of disease. In fact, it acquired its name from an authentic event in human history: Centuries ago, the Black Plague was obliterating the population of Western Europe. No medicine could stop the rising tide of death...except for a renegade band of Thieves from Marseilles, France. They possessed a secret weapon that protected them from the Plague--a secret that dated back to Biblical times--therapeutic essential oils. Their ancestors skillfully blended a family recipe of specific oils and passed it down. This blend, when applied to the hands and feet, protected them from the deadly Plague. Today, this same recipe has been compounded with the same premium quality of essential oils and is called “Thieves.”     Fight MRSA with powerful, natural Thieves More and more hospitals and schools are learning the power of diffusing therapeutic oils to help stem the tide of MRSA. Under the direction of Dr. Toby Cosgrove, the Cleveland Clinic implemented the use of antimicrobial oils onto their surgical floor; with cancer treatment; and a nursing aromatherapy program. Beth Israel Hospital in New York City is using therapeutic oils in their integrative cancer treatments. Kent State University School of Nursing and dozens of others have followed suit.    Therapro diffuser distributes Thieves' germ-killing power at home, office, and school One of the most powerful methods of protecting your family from colds, flu and Super Bugs is PREVENTION! This is exactly what the Thieves in 15th century Europe did to stay free from disease. By diffusing essential oils and/or daily application of the Thieves essential oil blend on the bottoms of both feet, you will strengthen the immune system, kill-off infectious invaders lurking in the cell structure, and empower your family to stay healthy even after exposure to airborne disease.   Your best weapon is green Winning with Thieves is really a Lifestyle Exchange--changing the way you are using toxic chemicals to fight disease and exchanging them for God’s recommended protection - therapeutic essential oils.  So when it comes to cleaning and disinfecting the classroom or the kitchen, nothing gets the job done better than Thieves Cleaner made from the treasures of Heaven’s Garden--therapeutic essential oils.   Thieves cleaner is not only proven to kill 99.96% of all airborne bacteria (including the Plague), but it’s safe enough to spray on babies! If our Total Wellness Doc, Dr. Mary Starr, recommends it even for babies, imagine how great it would be for the classroom environment! Baby Joshua shows you how well it works in the following video: You are just ONE CLICK  away from discovering one of Nature’s most powerful weapons against Super-bugs and disease. For the sake of your household, isn’t it time you learned the gift that God has given to help you “... be in health”?  Train up your whole family in the way they should go to protect from potential plagues and epidemic outbreaks. God understands what we need and provided his protection “In the beginning...”

The Following is an interview with Pioneering Biochemist Bharat B. Aggarwal, PhD, of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, on Discovering Novel and Effective Cancer Treatments

http://naturalmedicinejournal.net/pdf/NMJ_DEC09_RI.pdf
Bharat B. Aggarwal, PhD, earned his doctorate in biochemistry from the University of California, Berkeley. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship in endocrinology at the University of California Medical Center, San Francisco before working for 10 years with Genetech, Inc., a biotechnology company. While with Genetech, Aggarwal isolated and determined the structure for the first time of two essential components of the immune system that he identified as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a and TNF-beta. In 1989, Aggarwal accepted the position of professor and chief of the Cytokine Research Section at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, where he currently holds the Ransom Horne, Jr., Endowed Professorship in Cancer Research. He has published more than 500 original articles in peer-reviewed journals.
By Karolyn A. Gazella  

Q: In 1984, you were part of a group of researchers that identified two novel cytokines. Tell us a little bit about what transpired with your research after you isolated TNF-a and TNF-beta.

A: M.D. Anderson was the first cancer center in the country to test our TNF-a in patients with cancer. Although the cytokine was found to be quite active, it was too toxic. Research over the years from our laboratory and others taught us that TNF is the most proinflammatory cytokine and may mediate tumorigenesis and autoimmune diseases. In 1986, David Baltimore discovered a transcription factor, NF-kB, and went on to report that TNF is the most potent activator of this factor. Because of the critical role of TNF and NF-kB in tumorigenesis, the focus of our research has been on the discovery of novel inhibitors of TNF and NF-kB for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
As of today TNF is the key mediator of inflammation, and the annual market for TNF blockers is approaching 20 billion dollars in sales. These drugs are approved for various inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Q: Do you feel the connection between inflammation and cancer is widely understood among conventional practitioners and oncologists?

A: I think it is becoming increasingly clear in people’s minds. The evidence confirming this connection is accumulating very rapidly. We believe most chronic diseases, including cancer, are caused by inflammation. We have been using conventional and traditional agents as a means for down-regulating inflammation to both prevent and treat a wide array of cancers. The results have been very promising and because of this, the primary focus on my research is in looking at the role of inflammatory pathways in tumorigenesis and other diseases and their modulation by natural products. We have identified several compounds from natural sources, some of which have reached the clinic for the treatment of patients. For example, with the help of clinicians, we have used curcumin for the prevention of lung cancer and for the treatment of multiple myeloma and pancreatic cancer.

Q: What led you specifically to curcumin?

A: As you know I am originally from India, so I naturally have some insight as to what people use there. In India, if you get hurt, have inflammation, break your bone, have a sore throat, or have many other ailments, you take turmeric. Turmeric has been used for centuries. Turmeric contains a component known as curcumin. Curcumin is a significant anti-inflammatory agent in Ayurvedic medicine. It was the historical and traditional use of curcumin that made us want to explore whether it could effectively block anti-inflammatory pathways. We have proven that indeed it does.
 Q: You’ve even completed Phase I and II human clinical trials involving several different types of cancer, correct?
A: We have a number of trials, some have been completed and others are ongoing. It is very exciting and satisfying to have completed clinical trials using curcumin. In addition to curcumin, there are several other anti-inflammatory phytochemicals found in other spices. For example, black pepper, ginger, and clove all have a very similar structure to curcumin. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are numerous natural compounds that behave similarly to curcumin. And it appears as though these agents also synergize with each other. Even though we started with curcumin, this is not the only natural agent that is anti-inflammatory; however, we have published many papers specifically on curcumin.
Q: Is it true that there are absorption issues with curcumin and that the dosage needs to be high to produce a therapeutic affect?
A: I think there is a bit of a misconception regarding the absorption and dosage of curcumin. Remember, curcumin is a dietary agent, not a drug. It should not be tested as a drug because if dosages reach the drug level, it could become toxic. We have found that curcumin is circulated quickly and is taken up by tissues very quickly. Within 10 to 20 minutes it is already in the brain. When it is tested as a drug, researchers at Johns Hopkins reported that as little as 500 mg of curcumin per day resulted in a 60 percent reduction in polyps, whereas Celebrex at the same dose, which is very cardiotoxic, only resulted in less than 30 percent reduction in polyps as shown by physicians at M.D. Anderson. If bioavailability were an issue, we would not see these results. We have cancer patients at M.D. Anderson who are just on curcumin. They don’t have to be given chemotherapy or radiation, just curcumin alone, and we are witnessing significant results. There are more than 1,000 patients on curcumin right now at M.D. Anderson. Absorption of curcumin is not as big of an issue as people may think.
Q: You’re not afraid to tackle some of the more challenging cancers. One of your human trials involved pancreatic cancer patients, which is perhaps one of the most deadly and challenging to treat types of cancer.
A: And now researchers in Israel also have done a pancreatic cancer trial, and they have found as many as 50 percent of the patients responded to curcumin. 50 percent is quite impressive in this patient population. That study was presented at the latest American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting. Those same researchers are also now planning multicenter phase III clinical trials. 

Q: It can be quite challenging for a cancer patient who wants to use an integrative approach if his/her oncologist is adamant about not using natural substances. Your work is such a deviation from conventional oncology research, what are some of the challenges you’ve faced?    

A: The biggest challenge is for doctors to accept that curcumin could have potential for cancer. Pharmaceutical companies are not going to be able to profit from this. Curcumin is so inexpensive some doctors have a hard time believing that it even works because they are comparing it to drugs that cost $45,000 to $50,000 per dose. They feel curcumin cannot work because it doesn’t cost as much as the drugs they are used to dispensing. And my response to them is seeing is believing. I tell them to just try it and see if it works. 

Q: Why is M.D. Anderson so receptive to what you’re doing?

A: I’m in a very fortunate position because the president of M.D. Anderson is a very strong believer. He heard me speak and he saw the evidence and he said, "My god, where have you been hiding?" He could not believe it, and when he talks, everybody else listens. I have a lot of support from him and wherever he goes he talks about the work we are doing with curcumin. Of course, that type of support from the key leadership changes everything. As a result, virtually anyone you talk to at M.D. Anderson knows about curcumin.

There will always be disbelievers. But we are scientists so we just stick to the science and let the results speak for us. People are receptive to options other than chemotherapy and radiation. When you show them that something so economical and safe can also be effective, they become very supportive.
Q: When it comes to your specific research objectives, will you be changing directions or will this remain your focus?

A: My cancer journey that started almost 25 years ago continues with the focus of discovering novel molecules that are safe, efficacious, and yet inexpensive for the treatment of cancer. To do this, we need to move the most promising agents into the clinics to prove that they work for both the prevention and treatment of cancer. We must focus on prevention. The state of Texas has raised 3 billion dollars from taxpayer money and they are going to give 300 million dollars per year for the next 10 years for cancer prevention. That’s a lot of money. And it’s sending a message about how important prevention must become.
If we continue to prevent and treat cancer the way we are currently doing and have been doing for the past 50 years, the next 50 years will not be any different. We have to learn to think outside the box. We have put too much emphasis on survival of the pharmaceutical companies and not enough focus on the survival of the patients. That’s a big problem. We need to change our thinking.
Q: Are we ready for that shift?

A: I think there is a lot of soul-searching going on right now, but I don’t think the system is quite ready yet. I think it is becoming even more expensive. That is the case with early diagnosis efforts. Thirty percent of all cancers are indolent cancers. With cancer, in some cases the tiger is sitting there somewhere and needs to be left alone. If you start throwing stones at the tiger, he will strike back. That is exactly what happens with early diagnosis. It is thought that early diagnosis will save lives, but I don’t think it does. A good example is prostate cancer. Studies are confirming that early diagnosis of prostate cancer does not save lives. As for breast cancer, researchers have found a 30 percent increase in cancer of women who underwent regular mammograms. In some cases of breast cancer they start treating what they thought was cancer but was not cancer at all. Recent recommendations on early diagnosis of breast cancer screening also suggest that there are more risks involved than benefits. We don’t have the foolproof biomarkers of cancer to do early diagnosis properly, so early diagnosis actually ends up doing more harm than good. The biomarkers to detect, prevent and treat cancer are lacking. This makes prevention and treatment very difficult.
