Healing Cancer: How Your Emotions are Essential to Recovery

The Healing Cancer World Summit: Make the Madness Stop!

- by Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo

As you know if you’ve been getting my newsletters for a while,  I have lost quite a few loved ones to cancer.

Most recently, my brother-in-law died over the summer after a long and painful hospital stay that resulted from complications of his lung cancer treatment. It was painful, to say the least, to watch him suffer and die after racking up well over a million dollars in hospital bills.

The same thing happened to my sister 3 years ago, and several cousins, friends, and even children of my friends.

I know there are alternatives that have a high rate of success.

I also know that there are lifestyle practices you can put into place right away to prevent yourself from becoming a statistic.

Starting Wednesday, October 25th, 2011, you can hear from the experts about their methods and successes in a controversial and powerful online event called The Healing Cancer World Summit.

Natural and integrative cancer techniques have never quite been explored in the way it will be during the event.

For 5 nights, Kevin Gianni – health author, organizer, and host – will interview 9 of the top natural cancer doctors and researchers around the world and they will share what they’re doing in their clinics to help prevent or even treat cancer.

During the program you’ll learn:

• What therapies these doctors and experts are using that they say can prevent and even treat cancer naturally.
• What herbs and supplements are scientifically known to prevent cancer.
• Scientific and documented proof that natural cancer treatments work.
• How to stack the deck in your favor and do your best to prevent cancer, including how to detoxify and cleanse your body naturally… and safely!
• About a unique treatment that brings the best of natural and conventional medical wisdom together.
• The best natural and integrative options for you and your budget.
• What the cancer industry doesn’t want you to know.
• How natural treatments work from a survivor’s perspective.
• And much more.

These experts are doctors, nutritionists, advocates and survivors who will share their science, research, and stories so you can discover options you may never have heard about.

There are 9 experts in all, with decades of experience amongst them working with cancer patients in their clinics. The experts include Dr. Nicolas Gonzalez, Dr. Francisco Contreras, Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, Dr. Thomas Lodi, Charlotte Gerson, Mike Adams, Burton Goldberg, and others.

The event starts the evening of Wednesday, October 25th, 2011, so now is the time to sign up.

The event is free!

To register now, all you have to do is visit this page here…

If you’d like to have the recordings and transcripts of the Cancer Summit for your own library there is a special option for you to purchase the downloads and transcripts very reasonably once you sign up.

I signed up for the recordings because I have a few conflicts next week, and would like to listen later. Plus, I like to have transcripts so I can take notes and highlight pertinent points to refer back to later. In addition, there’s a unique benefit to getting the recordings – you get to share them with 3 people for no additional charge. I have a few family members who I will be gifting these to.

This also means that you and 3 friends can jointly purchase the recordings and each of you will have your own private access to the recordings, transcripts and bonuses, plus any extras that may be added later for a very tiny investment.

Here’s where to go now and register…

I was brought to tears by the video on the sign-up page.

I, like Kevin, have lost loved ones to cancer, and I wish I would have had access to this resource to share with them. It brings together all in one place a collection of cancer treatment and prevention alternatives that everyone needs to know.

Wishing you and your loved ones love, health, and joy,

 Dr. Ritamarie

PS. The event registration is open until October 25th as is the special offer for the recordings, transcripts, bonuses, and no cost share with loved ones option.

When you register now, you’ll also get 3 special bonuses delivered to you right away.

Gluten Free Raw Foods Recipes to the Rescue: Healthy Habits Lead to Happy Hormones

Gluten free diets have been lauded for every thing from autism to eczema, asthma to ADD.  But have you ever considered that gluten may be wrecking your sex life?

Can such a tiny little protein as gluten, found in all your favorite breads, pastas, desserts and breakfast cereals really create havoc in so many parts of your body?

The research overwhelmingly says YES!By destroying your hormones and the glands that produce them, gluten leaves no body part unscathed, even if your symptoms are confined to a few select areas.  The problem is, much of the damage caused by gluten is silent, until you reach a critical threshold, them fall apart.

Magic Moments Candies

This is especially true of gluten induced osteoporosis.I’ve seen it happen over and over again.So what’s the solution?  Is there a magic drug or herb or procedure you can do to cure the damage gluten creates in your body?

The good news is, the answer doesn’t require any drugs, radiation or special surgical procedure,it’s not dependent on hormone replacement or herbal remedies.

It’s not something that acupuncture or chiropractic can cure either, although both can be helpful in repairing the damage.

In fact the solution is absolutely free.

The answer is at the tip of your fork, your most powerful healing tool.

Drum roll please.

The solution is to stop eating gluten, which means no more bread, pie, cookies, crackers, bagels, croissants, breakfast cereal….

YIKES.   So, what’s left to eat?

Enter the wonderful world of raw foods.

You think all that processed CR_P is good, what until you taste the real thing.

And no, I don’t mean connect to the awesomeness of a carrot and make love with romaine lettuce – although eating food straight from nature is in fact the ideal.

What I mean is the magic that happens when someone who really had a knack for flavors and textures and bringing out the delicate essence of fresh whole food turns the ordinary into the extraordinaire.

Take for example the photos sprinkled throughout this article.  They are the foods we make in Eating for Hormone Balance.  Let’s face it! your hormones need and want lots of produce…cruciferous vegetables, sea vegetables, sprouts, high quality fats,   They’re thrown off by white flour, white sugar, processed fats, preservatives and hormones in your foods.

Happy Hormone Collard Wraps

We’ve figured out how to take the best of science in terms of hormone research and blend it with the best foods and herbs that nature has to offer.

By using all whole, raw and living foods, completely gluten and dairy free, we create masterful hormone boosting and balancing dishes that taste great.

We leave out all the top 5 allergens, so people with food allergies have a safe haven for clean food.

Here’s what we’re making

There’s still time to register for Eating for Hormone Balance.

The Top Three Foods To Avoid at All Costs

- by Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo

When it comes to the dangers of the Standard American Diet, it’s hard to limit all the possible exclusions to only the 3 top foods to avoid, but here goes. The three foods discussed in this video are devastating to your health:

In this video you’ll learn:

• why margarine not only swells your joints and muscles, it increases your risk of heart disease and cancer.
• the mechanism behind how sugar effects your metabolism and why high fructose corn sugar is so damaging to your liver.
• the dangers of white bread, the ridiculous approach to its production, and how it affects your blood sugar with empty, gluten-damaging calories.

What Dangers Lurk Within Hospital Walls

I visited the hospital a few weeks ago.  Not for me or any of my kids…fortunately.  My brother in law was diagnosed with lung cancer late last year and has been in the hospital for over two months after complications as a result of surgery.

He opted for conventional treatment of his cancer, as most people do,  rather than check out the alternatives offered by Dr. Thomas Lodi An Oasis of Healing, just an hour away from his home.  He had his lung removed after a series of chemotherapy treatments to shrink the tumor.

Unfortunately for him, he developed an infection at the site of surgery and his remaining lung and almost died.

I’m thankful for the heroic measures modern medicine has developed to keep people alive in emergency situations.  We are all grateful that my brother in law was resuscitated and put on life support.

While hospitals are good places to go for emergency life saving support, they are not so good at helping people restore their health.  There’s a big difference.

There are 1.7 million cases of hospital infections every year, and 99,000 deaths that are related to these infections.

IV vitamin C has been shown in numerous studies to benefit people with cancer and infectious disease.  Most people that spend time in the intensive care unit or have surgery get hooked up to an IV.  Very few receive therapeutic doses of Vitamin C in their IV.

At some point, ICUpatients graduate from IV feeding to a feeding tube directly into their digestive tract.

I look at this as the ultimate opportunity to get some blended and juiced antioxidant rich green food into people who otherwise would reject it because it “tastes icky”.  The hospital staff looks at it much differently.  The first three ingredients in the most popular feeding tube mixes are corn syrup, casein (milk protein) and soy protein isolate.  That’s a sure fire prescription for illness, if you ask me.   Unfortunately they didn’t ask and when I voluntarily offered my opinion I was talked down to as if I were an ignorant street person who knows nothing about health and nutrition.

Not a single fresh raw vegetable is on the menu, save perhaps for the iceberg lettuce

Here’s the ingredient list for a popular hospital food called Jevity.

Water, Corn Maltodextrin, Corn Syrup Solids, Sodium & Calcium Caseinates, Soy Fiber, Soy Protein Isolate, Canola Oil, Corn Oil, Medium-Chain Triglycerides, Calcium Phosphate, Potassium Citrate, Magnesium Chloride, Soy Lecithin, Sodium Citrate, Ascorbic Acid, Choline Chloride, Magnesium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Carrageenan, Taurine, L-Carnitine, Zinc Sulfate, dl-Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate, Ferrous Sulfate, Niacinamide, Calcium Pantothenate, Manganese Sulfate, Cupric Sulfate, Thiamine Chloride Hydrochloride, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Vitamin A Palmitate, Folic Acid, Biotin, Chromium Chloride, Sodium Molybdate, Potassium Iodide, Sodium Selenate, Phylloquinone, Cyanocobalamin, and Vitamin D3.

I could go on and on about what to watch out for in hospitals. ..and I will.  And you can hear the whole thing on my two part blog talk radio show called 3-Life-Saving-Reasons-To-Stay-Out-Of-The-Hospital-Part-1

I even have a copy of an actual menu from a hospital here in Austin that I plan to divulge on the show.

Even if you can’t make it live, set aside some time afterward to listen to the recording, which will be available at the same location.
