Genetic Chemistry

by Sinjin St. James on November 19, 2009

IF WE acknowledge that DNA, the acid found in the nucleus of the living cell, is the repository of hereditary factors, then the way is open for the development of a genetic chemistry. Such is the prediction of Robert L. Sinsheimer, professor of biophysics in Iowa (Science, vol 125, p 1123).

Some of the questions which he poses are as follows: what differentiates the DNA related to various hereditary characteristics; with what chemicals is DNA associated in the living cell and how do these associations change during the cycle of cell division; how is the information built into the DNA transmitted to guide the growth of the organism?

Genetic Chemistry

The study of genetic chemistry is laying a groundbreaking foundation for discussion of hereditary factors in human evolution as provided for by chemical research, which first and foremost examines DNA and RNA chemistry from an entirely scientific viewpoint. Investigations into DNA, chemistry, proteomics, enzyme engineering, regulation of gene expression in mammalian systems, and the correlation of complex biological structures in relation to function in human pathology and disease states and approach to rational therapy are yielding fascinating results and application of this research to a study of the causes and treatment of cancer, heart disease, and brain disease are well underway.

Alternative Natural Animal Nutrition/remedy From Veterinary Medicine Rids Top 400 Human Diseases and No Toxic Side Effects

by "The Librarian" on April 27, 2010

What does it take to live to 100yrs and more and be healthy as well. Did you know that the top 10 human diseases were cured in animals in 1957 using only natural nutrition and it works on people too! Skeptical as I was because of the condtioning all my life that the local doctor had all the answers to the cures, that it must be impossible that veterinary medicine could more advanced about the cures to serious diseases. Impossible! Until I was forced to try it.Will Rogers said “If you want a good doctor, get a veterinarian. Why! Animals can’t tell him whats wrong, he’s just got to know what’s wrong. Dr Joel Wallach, Veterinarian/Naturopthic doctor (nobel prize nominee) was involved in comparative medical research for 30 years and came to the conclusion that commercial animals got a better deal when it comes to health care with no harmful side-effects. The Veterinary profession has raised the art and science of preventive medicine to its highest level by eliminating cancer, arthritis, liver disease, asthma, learning disabilities, birth defects, diabetes, muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, dental diseases from laboratory animals, pet and farm animals. A lot of non-sense you say! Well we are human animals made from the same earthly elements and so why wouldn’t it work on humans. Because of small profit margins, animal farmers demand nutrition systems that prevent disease. No birth defects of any kind and healthy livestock. Farmers demand 100 healthy calves from 100 healthy breeding cow’s that they are feeding and expect calves to reach market or reproductive age with little or no vet fee’s. THIS BEATS WHAT WE HAVE COME TO EXPECT AS HUMANS. Just go to any zoo on a beautiful sunny day and ask the first 100 women that walk by if they have had any complicated pregnancies, children that were delivered by cesarian or children with birth defects and the results of your survey will be astounding!Animal farmers are unwilling to pay for ceasarians or pay for symptomatic therapies because they are working on a tight budget and the government does not have MEDICARE for animals. Preventative Medicine veterinary style, is inexpensive and extremely effective in preventing the chronic diseases in animals that, if present, would make animal husbandry impossible. In America, the economic system of capitalism was allowed to take its course and the money was in finding a cheap and practical system of health care for animals, the result was preventative natural nutrition programmes.ie 90 daily essential nutrients, components which are made up of, 60 plant derived colloidal minerals,12 amino acids,3 essential fatty acids,16 vitamins which add up to the 90 essential nutrients. In other words, what are the things you need to consume every day so you can live till 100yrs and be healthy. Absurd. Really! Most of these things you can buy in your local gym or sports nutrition shop but they don’t know how to use them and the quality is not the same and its incomplete. Originally this nutrition pack was used in swine to get an extra 3 birthing years out the sows. Pigs suffer from arthritis and this regime prevented the arthritis. and the discovery was that it got rid of 400 other diseases. This natural nutrition pack was discovered in 1957 for the animal kingdom by veterinary researchers and it reverses 400 ailments in humans with no side-effects if there is no previous serious irreversible damage from toxic pharmaceuticals( liver,kidney,intestines) and substance abuse. Despite this damage, a lot of supposed abuses and genetic birth defects are managed better by these natural 90 nutrients. The pack was upgraded for human use.You can live to 75yrs. The regime is for 3 months minimum. The longer you take it, the more reversal of the ailments.In contrast to the animal health systems, our human health care systems are heavily supported by the government, clinical care as well as research, via legislation, eg medicare. It is unfortunate that the mindset in human medicine is in treating the symptoms (and not the root cause), with patented synthetic pharmaceuticals that have harmful side-effects. Doctors, Pharma people, have a nice cartel thats protected by Gov’t laws. Just google the doctors prescription medicine that he’s given you and search the side-effects. Really scary findings. If it was any other industry, they’d be prosecuted for selling this stuff. Google search the individual components of the 90 essential nutrients. Marjority of pharmceuticals are patented and it is a sickness for profit industry. Medicine credo should be first “Do no harm”. This has produced a health care system that if union members learned that management and union stewards had reached such an agreement, they would wryly call it a sweetheart deal and call for instant workers strike.Medical  scientists clone sheep,map gene nomes,swap chromosomes and genes in mammals and plants, grow a human liver inside a pig,etc, frankenstein stuff, men on the moon.But can’t cure the top 10 diseases without transplant/surgery and nasty toxic drugs. Seems odd, and Why not, you say, when Vets can do it.The orthodox medical system is an artifical system that depends on our governments via the corrupt Codex Alimenarius Commitee in the background, globally, masquerading as protectors against those alternative health nuts to survive. If it were left to the people , they will always choose a less formidable and less complex,efficient, health care system. Under the protective and loving wing of the government, orthodox medicine has flourished as a house of cards. They will badmouth alternative medicine because it is better and it is a threat to their hip pocket. You cannot patent the 90 essential nutrients and monopolise it . They would like to ban them then legally then monopolise them. If the people were aware of the deaths as a result of polypharmacy, they would be like me, and not have anything to do with synthetic toxic pharmaceuticals.It is of interest that the 10,000 year old system of Tradtional Chinese Medicine only paid the doctor when you were healed and stopped paying him when you became ill- this ancient system combined with the veterinary natural medicine mindset would be an ideal medical system.I am a 54yr old that use to suffer when I was 48yrs of age from Arthritis, Asthma,High blood pressure, Hemorhoids, a flu like condtion for 3 years(4 types of anti-biotics didn’t help) constant diahorea. Low back pain, Hands would go numb 3 times a night in bed if my wrists were bent in my sleep, Heat stress headache-could’nt stay out in the sun for long,and could not work physically for long as I would get this headache and sweat profusely. In this condition, I could not bend down to pick something up off the floor without pain/pressure in my head. Had to take a nap to sleep it off or take a pain killer which I never felt good about. Never liked those warning labels on medicine bottles. I had silvery white hair which I absolutely hated. Couldn’t remember peoples’ names the next day. Bad memory. Had bad B.O. Had terible bad breath, arms weren’t long enough for reading, Loosing my career and house was at stake and out of sheer desperation and my wife buying my first pack on my credit card which I could not afford, I tried what Dr Wallach advocated despite my disbelief and to my surprize I was slowly restored with almost complete health in 3-4 months. I could do things again that I could do when I was about 30yrs of age. What an eye opener this was. Good night sleep every night again, no numb wrists and hands,could work hard physically like a man again, self esteem suffered from this, No more reading glasses, no joint pain,hair going dark again,no heat stress, no severely cracked heels, could walk up stairs again, could squat and get up again by myself. The only side-efffects was the detoxification that went on. Bowel movements were disgusting and flatulence. Flatulence abated after a few months. Colon cleanse and what they called repair pains. It was all worth the restored health. Why hadn’t this come thru the normal medical chanels.My wife suffered from low blood pressure all her life, lower bad back pain, hemorhoids, dizziness, irratable bowel syndrome, carpal tunnel, cancer of the cervix 3 times in 10 years, liver or age spots, gall bladder ready for removal, hysterectomy was on the cards, and she double dosed on the chelated selenium part especially, and she too saw all her ailments disappear gradualy one by one in about 3-4 months. Still remember her saying too me,gleefully “this stuff really works”. The side-effect was those repair pains,which gradually went away, and after taking the 90 essential nutrients for about 3 weeks, she broke out in red spots from her head to her toes for about 2.5 weeks. She was told this was a fatty liver cleansing itself out and to perservere and it too gradually diasppeared and she too enjoyed restored health. The discomfort of the detoxification was worth the result. I know many people with the same testimony of restored health. Told this story to numberless people and am amazed at the disbelief. They get this glazed far away look in their eyes as I speak to them about this natural animal medicine. They just don’t believe this crazy story. Some fella’s start howling like a dog or start scratching themselves for flee’s like a dog in derison.. Then I remember how skeptical I too was once! People seem to think the local doctor is some sort of a all knowing medical demi-god. If the doctors all lived healthily to 100 years of age, then I’d listen to every word they’d say. Do some research and find out the average age of a doctor when they pass away into the hereafter. The result you will find is very interesting.I have only touched the tip of the iceberg about Dr Joel Wallach’s veterinary medicine and there is much more to said about this subject. The causes of these 400 diseases is surprising. What is on the disease list is surprising also. Our low mineral hydroponic farming and depleted farm soils are major causes of sicknesses. Yes they fertilize, but not comprehensively. The medical profession doesn’t seem to have clue about this. Dr Joel Wallach is also usually ridiculed by alopathic medico’s and called a lot of names that you can’t say in mixed company but I know who’s telling the truth. Its dificult to not sound like a crachpot. I thank him for persistence in getting the message to the plebisites, as the established medical profession will not tell you a thing about this life saving information. In fact anybody that promotes alternative medicine is not allowed to make claims or say the word “cure”, “heal”, even though it is exactly what it does. It’s absolutely criminal and fraudulent to suppress legitimate medical information to the people because of vested business interests. Someone has to standup and say something  when the establishment is wrong about too much.  Regards Peter Sen nesp50@yahoo.com.au Aug 2008

A Candid Article About Yeast Infections

by "The Librarian" on April 26, 2010

The most common and best known form of yeast infection (candidiasis) is thrush, which most commonly affects women’s genitalia. While it is not impossible for men to contract, it is exceedingly rare for this to happen. However, yeast infections do not solely affect men or women; they just affect different parts of the body in each.

Yeast infections most commonly occur on the skin or mucous membranes. In human beings, yeast infections are due to the genus Candida. In laboratory cultures, it appears as round colonies which are white, white-gray or cream colored. The best known species of the Candida genus is Candida Albicans; although it is not the only species of Candida which can cause yeast infections in humans.

Under normal conditions, Candida Albicans coexists with the other flora naturally present in our bodies. The fungus lives in warm wet areas, especially the mucous membranes and in the GI tract. The fungus is also known to grow on the surface of the skin, particularly warm, damp areas like armpits and folds in the skin.

Candidiasis is generally termed a yeast infection since the most commonly seen form of the fungus is single, ovoid yeast cells. Candida reproduces by budding, meaning that the Candida cells reproduce by creating genetically identical clones which grow out of the parent cell. These new cells grow on the parent cell for a time before separating.

So what are the conditions which can create a yeast infection? The body temperature must be at just the right level and pH must be in the correct balance for Candida to grow without out competing other organisms found in the body. When the pH level and temperature change, Candida cells can grow out of control, resulting into a yeast infection.

The symptoms of a Candida Albicans infection include itching, tingling, soreness and a burning sensation. Sometimes more than one of these symptoms will happen at a time. You should not scratch affected areas, since this leads to the spread of the infection.

Other symptoms include muscle aches, joint pain and swelling, dizziness, fatigue, dizziness, mood swings, anxiety, depression and a host of other symptoms. Since these symptoms are seen with many other illnesses, it is important to get a physician’s diagnosis to be sure.

There are other, more visible signs of a Candida infection – there will be cream-colored or white patches in the mouth in some cases (especially in thrush). These patches can reach back into the throat and cause digestive issues. In men, there can be sores on the glans and foreskin. There may also be discharge from the bowels (visible in the stool), the ears and of course the genitalia.

Detailed Information on Myelofibrosis

by "The Librarian" on April 24, 2010

Myelofibrosis (MF) is one of the myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs). It is also known as agnogenic myeloid metaplasia or meylofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia. Myelofibrosis means fibrosis of the bone marrow. In this form, the marrow becomes fibrous as part of a chronic malignant (cancerous) process in which the proliferation of certain blood cell clones leads to the formation of fibrous tissue. Myelofibrosis can occur secondary to other bone marrow conditions (polycythaemia vera, chronic myeloid leukaemia) or as a primary condition – idiopathic myelofibrosis. Idiopathic myelofibrosis is a primary disorder of unknown cause. There is no consistent genetic abnormality. Certain fibrosing growth factors – PDGF and TGFb have been involved and their source is almost certainly the immature platelet precursors. Secondary MF develops as a result of another condition, usually from other MPDs such as Essential Thrombocythaemia (ET) or Polycythaemia Vera (PV). Sometimes secondary MF can occur as a reaction to other disorders such as auto immune/inflammatory conditions or cancers like Hodgkin’s Disease. Persons who were exposed to benzene or high doses of radiation have developed myelofibrosis. There may be an association between myelofibrosis and autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and scleroderma, in which the immune system treats certain molecules of the body as foreign invaders. Myelofibrosis is rare, affecting less than 2 of 100,000 people in the United States. It occurs most commonly among people between the ages of 50 and 70. Symptoms usually appear gradually over a long period of time. About one quarter of all patients with myelofibrosis have no symptoms (asymptomatic). Symptoms of myelofibrosis include low platelet count, anemia, and an enlarged spleen. In a while stages, general malaise, weight loss, night sweats and low-grade fever. Extramedullary haematopoiesis may cause symptoms, depending on the organ or site of involvement. Splenomegaly may result in left upper quadrant discomfort. Splenic infarcts, perisplenitis, or subcapsular hematoma may cause severe left upper quadrant or left shoulder pain. Treatment is often challenging and is largely supportive. Bone marrow transplantation may be used to treat some patients with myelofibrosis. Androgens, corticosteroids and erythropoietin are useful for the treatment of anaemia. Treatment with imatinib mesylate is occasionally effective.
