Texas
Medical Board’s Lawsuit against Cancer Pioneer Dismissed
The
state’s attack on Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski is finally over. And some
states are even passing laws that protect integrative physicians.
Stanislaw
Burzynski, MD, PhD, is a physician and biochemist practicing in Texas
who developed (with his own money) a nontoxic gene-targeted cancer
therapy. This therapy has been shown to help cure some of the most
“incurable” forms of terminal cancer.
In
the 1980s, the Texas Medical Board (TMB) charged this caring and
pioneering doctor with breaking a law that didn’t actually exist, and
tried to revoke his medical license. Numerous investigations
later—including an appearance before the Texas Supreme Court—found
no violation of any law or standard of care.

Sugar
It
will be everywhere for the holidays, so we suggest you read up about
this health opponent and find out what to take when you do eat too much.

Eating
too Many Carbs - A
Simple Yet Effective Way To Normalize Blood Sugar & Insulin Spikes
After Eating a High Carbohyrdrate Meal
This
information is offered as a solution for those times when a diabetic,
because of social reasons, a party, or special occasion, will be eating
more carbohydrates than would normally be eaten.
A
study done in Sweden in 2001 showed that blood sugar spikes were held in
check when pickles preserved in vinegar were consumed immediately after
a high-carbohydrate breakfast. Earlier Swedish research indicated that
vinegar might help control blood sugar spikes.
In his book The Diabetes Improvement Program, Patrick Quillin,
Ph.D., states the following:
“Real vinegar has not been filtered or pasteurized, and is rich
in organic acids, pectin (soluble fiber), and acetic acid, all of
which help to slow down the emptying of the stomach. This simple
‘detour’ for the digestion of food creates a slowdown in dumping
glucose into the bloodstream. A meal with 2 tablespoons of vinegar can
slow gastric emptying rate by 30% and drop blood glucose peaks by
30%.”
“Recipes for salad dressing with flax oil and vinegar not only
taste great but can dramatically improve overall health by lowering
rises in blood glucose. Red wine vinegar works best at this.”
As
a result of the earlier research, Carol S. Johnston, Ph.D., from the
Department of Nutrition at Arizona State University, created a study to
put vinegar to the test on three groups of subjects: ten type 2
diabetics, 11 subjects who showed symptoms of pre-diabetic insulin
resistance, and eight subjects with normal insulin sensitivity. None of
the subjects were taking any diabetes medications.
Subjects were randomly assigned to consume the apple cider vinegar or a
placebo drink. Two minutes later, each subject ate a meal consisting of
a white bagel with butter and a glass of orange juice, containing
approximately 90 grams of total carbohydrates. Blood samples were
collected before the meal, and 30 minutes and 60 minutes after the meal.
Dr. Johnston and her team reported several significant results:
- Each of the three groups had improved glucose and insulin
profiles following meals that
started with the vinegar drink
- In subjects with type 2 diabetes who drank vinegar, blood
glucose levels were cut by about 25 percentcompared to
diabetics who drank placebo
- In subjects with pre-diabetic conditions (insulin resistant) who
drank vinegar, blood
glucose levels were cut by nearly HALF compared
to pre-diabetics who drank placebo
And
here's the most surprising result: Pre-diabetic
subjects (insulin resistant) who drank vinegar actually had lower blood
glucose levels than subjects with normal insulin sensitivity who also
drank vinegar.
Dr. Johnston notes that vinegar dietary supplements may not be useful
for managing glucose and insulin spikes associated with meals as they
don't contain acetic acid [ acetic acid: a colorless acid with a pungent
odor that is the main component of vinegar ] — the key ingredient she
feels is responsible for vinegar's effectiveness.
Apple cider vinegar is another vinegar that works well. It is
recommended that the typical apple cider vinegar product carried by
large grocery chains carry be avoided. Instead, look for raw,
unfiltered, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar, usually available at many
health food stores.
To make a quantity of your own salad dressing just mix one part oil (or
water) to two parts vinegar. Condiments such as garlic and/or onion
powder, salt and pepper, should be added to taste.
Three tablespoons of this type of salad dressing will
supply you with the two tablespoons of vinegar needed for the above
results.
