China Testing and other
Things
This time in China my wife
and I started to initiate a program for testing a large number of
people for ionic metals and/or chelation ability.
Our first 22 subjects and enrolments for the
program are young students she instructs in cell biology and genetics
as part of their medical studies. They all want to be medical doctors
at a later stage helping others to hopefully stay healthy.
The excitement of these young people to be able to
learn something new and to test themselves and others for ionic metals
was quite overwhelming. We have great hopes of being able to broaden
their mind and thus help them to develop into worthwhile medical
doctors rather then simply licensed drug dealers for international
medical drug companies.
We
will train these young people in ionic metal testing and intend to
send them to different areas of this vast country to test a large
number of their country women and men in rural and urban areas.

Because
of China’s huge pollution problem, I expected a high percentage of
contaminated people. Unfortunately it seems this expectation was
fulfilled by our first test results.
Result of
testing 35 Chinese individuals:
1 person green
(lived in mountainous region, before recently moving to Nanning)
2 people nearly green (taking supplements and one
from rural area)
32 people all shades of colours (living in urban
areas, mainly Nanning)
If we count the 2 ‘nearly green’ individuals to
the group of ‘metal free’ people, we are looking at roughly 94% of the
population who are over burdened with ionic metals. If, on the other
hand, we want to be very critical and count the ‘nearly green’ tests
into the group of contaminated people, we are ending up with virtually
100% of contamination.
This, of course, will have huge repercussions for
the future health and well being of Chinese people. Already China has
the highest rate of lung cancer. About 600.000 people died of lung
cancer in that country last year. Yes, Chinese men are great smokers,
but is cigarette smoking the true and only cause of lung cancer?
Certainly not according to an article I just read. In actual fact this
article points out that other environmental factors may have a much
greater causative factor than smoking itself. The article was written
by Dr. J.P.Siepmann’s (MD) and I very much agree with him. (http://www.journaloftheoretics.com/Editorials/Vol-1/e1-4.htm).
Whoever has lived in one of China’s polluted
cities, where it is sometimes difficult to make out the next high
rising building in the pollution haze, will agree that this chemical
soup, people have to breathe day in day out, may have something to do
with the ever increasing levels of lung (and other) cancers as well as
other chronic diseases.
Smoking then may only be the straw that breaks the
camel’s back. It seems to be certain that a major causative factor may
be the high metal burden of the air people have to breathe…and the
initial tests we just conducted support this view.
I gave up smoking a long, long time ago but never
developed into a ‘reformed smoker’, blindly trying to blame a
certainly bad habit for all the ills in the world. We have to keep an
open mind and look at facts and some scientific evidence.
Here is some of the evidence we hear so little
about in the media:
Abstract:The role of metals in the development
of cancer has been a matter of concern in recent years. We analyzed
7 metal elements (Mn, Mg, Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni, Cu) contained in the lungs
of 10 lung cancer patients and 10 normal subjects (control group)
from the Guangzhou population, using an atomic absorption
spectrometer. From the data, it can be seen that, of the 7 metals
measured in the observed group, 3 metals (Mn, Mg, Zn) were
significantly increased in lung tissue when compared with those in
the control group (P < 0.05). The values obtained in lung tissue of
lung cancer patients was about 2-fold higher than those of controls.
We believe that some metals might play an important role in the
pathogenesis of lung cancer and that the sources of these elements
in our bodies might be quite different. Some of them, for example,
Mn, Cd and Ni, might arise from atmospheric pollution while others,
such as Zn and Cu may be related to our dietary habits.

And another article connecting metals to lung
cancer:
Metallic
carcinogenicity is generally thought to generate of free radicals, and
thus some metals were reported to play a role in lung tumorigenesis.
In order to verify the role of heavy metals in the development of
Taiwanese lung cancer, a case-control study was conducted to compare
heavy metal contents between 60 tumor and 42 normal lung tissues
surgically resected from lung cancer and noncancer patients. The
tissue concentration of heavy metals, including cadmium (Cd), chromium
(Cr), cobalt (Co), lead (Pb), and nickel (Ni), was measured using by
atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Our results indicated that Cr
and Ni contents in lung tumors of lung cancer patients were
significantly higher than those in normal lung tissue of noncancer
controls, but Co content was markedly lower in lung tumors.
Additionally, Pb content in lung tumors was associated with nodal
involvement, and Co amounts in squamous-cell carcinomas were
relatively higher than those in adenocarcinomas. Data suggest that
accumulation of Cr and Ni in lung tumors may play a role, at least in
part, in the development of lung cancer in Taiwan

From
the United States comes a research paper (Harold
C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center at UT Southwestern and
published in: Journal of Thoracic Oncology) which states that:
‘The
researchers from the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center at
UT Southwestern found that the lung cancer rates were highest in
counties with the highest level of industrialization. These counties
were primarily located in the Houston area and the contiguous Gulf
Coast counties and in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, where
there were also higher industrial emissions of zinc, chromium and
copper.
The study’s findings point to potential root causes for lung cancer in
the estimated 10 percent to 15 percent of lung cancer patients who
never smoked, said Dr. Yvonne Coyle, associate professor of internal
medicine and the study’s senior author.’

Here
is another interesting item:
Tree Rings Show
Elevated Tungsten Coincides with Nevada Leukemia Cluster
Tungsten levels in Fallon
trees began increasing in 1994, while levels in neighboring towns
remained the same. Since 1997, 17 cases of childhood
leukemia
have been diagnosed in children who lived in the Fallon area for some
time prior to diagnosis. Fallon's high incidence of leukemia has been
acknowledged as a leukemia cluster by the Nevada State Health
Division.
The tree-ring
study by Sheppard and his co-authors Robert J. Speakman of the
Smithsonian Institution in Suitland, Md., Dr. Gary Ridenour of Fallon
and Mark L. Witten, a UA research professor of pediatrics, is in the
May 2007 issue of Environmental Health Perspectives.

And similar to Autism and other ‘metal mediated
diseases’ we have to ask: ‘why is it that not every child developed
leukaemia?’ A similar question can be asked for all cancer cases and
in fact, all cases of chronic diseases.
The answer is always the same, of course: children
inherit weaknesses. In the above case the children obviously
inherited a weakness which lead to their inability to chelate metals
properly and hence to eliminate these metals from the body.
In an environment where ‘free metals’ or ‘ionic
metal’ loads are increasing the ‘bar’ is lifted constantly. More and
more people will be unable to chelate ionic metals properly and hence
will develop cancer and other ‘chronic’ diseases mediated by an
increase in free radicals.
A major contributor to our inability to chelate
metals must be seen in increasing stress levels due to our fast and
‘modern’ world which lowers our ability to digest food properly and,
of course, the fact that commercially grown food is deficient in
nutrients anyway.
Hence the gap between the amount of nutrients we
would need to be able to chelate metals and stem the flood of metal
mediated free radicals and the amount we really get from the ‘stuff’
we eat becomes wider and wider.
We will keep you informed about our research here
in China. I am happy that we do not simply alert the people to an
impending disaster in the form of wide spread ionic metal overloads,
but that we can offer them hope in the form of CH77.
We are certain that we will be able to prevent the
development of severe chronic diseases by keeping the test colours in
the ‘green zone’ with the help of CH77.
