Dr. Linus Pauling was a champion of Vitamin C which is a master anti-oxidant and was ignored by main stream medicine. He also believed in the value of glutathione (NAC precursor) and took it regularly. The third key nutrient that Big medicine ignores is Vitamin D which is really a hormone in active form and controls about 3000 gene expressions when the body activates them. It explains why the schools of medicine have been convinced not to teach nutrition to the medical students. RFK Jr is changing that and Big Pharma doesn't like that. A pill or injection is the profitable route compared to good nutrition without toxins and eliminating nutrient deficiencies.

My mantra has been N2E+ for Life. Good nutrition, supplement for deficiencies, E for exercise and + for mind-body harmony which stops chronic cortisol production which is immune suppressing. thomasabraunrph@substack.com

My now-retired, much-loved physician told me that when he was in med school long ago, vitamin C was put on the shelf next to witchcraft. He was astonished by my Vitamin C story: Decades ago after daily wheezing, I decided to give Vit. C a trial. I began with 1 gram, incremented by 1 gram daily. At 11 days, and 11 grams, I suddenly stopped wheezing, and have never done so again. Yes, I know, one incident does not an RCT make, but still, it's my story, and I'm sticking to it. 😊

The Blob also scared everyone taking real Vitamin A, the kind that is in liver. I’ve been taking 10k IU regularly for 3 years with no problems.

Dr. Marik was/is covid hero, CRYING, as a MAN(!!) in front of so many, while taking about covid procedures (Vit C IV for sepsis) which would rescue HUMAN LIVES in critical 'covid times', and yet, he was NOT ALLOWED to apply them!!!! Something like that can only happen when the somebody high, high above is clearly ANTI-HUMAN, meaning, no human!

This link provides the most recent CANCER STATISTICS:

something horrible is happening, the rates explode like the WAR on Iran !!! That's possibly one more reason for this war, to let people kill (military in particular) for 'other reasons', while the real one is obvious, BUT HIDDEN.

I have been excerpting and linking to Dr. Marik's useful articles on this new blog, also. Paul Marik MD is a gift to humanity (though that is hard on him sometimes, too.)

What Dr Marik appears to ignore is the biological variability and genetic variability that we all possess. There is no one diet good for everyone on the planet. Some will thrive on keto others on a Whole Foods high carbohydrate diet and others in between.

This was part of the program that Dr Nicholas Gonzales practiced with enormous success with advanced cancer patients for many years. I should know I was a patient of his for 20 years.

He had 20 different diets ranging from vegetarian to eating meat several times a day. All diets had the basics in common - no processed food, organic when possible and often a high percentage of raw food - lots of digestive enzymes as well.

His program also included massive quantities of pancreatic enzymes which actually digest cancer cells when they’re not digesting food as well as lots of detox including periodic fasting as doctor Marik suggests.

I would hope that Dr Marik would look closely at Dr. Gonzalez‘s work as he published quite a few books describing the theory and practice of his protocol.

And for me I went to him with metastatic cancer to the liver 25 years ago…

I would say the diet debate more pints to damaged microbiomes in the gut and leaky gut. Grains cause leaky gut.

I disagree.

We got Celiac running in our family. My 80 year old aunt had Celiac all her life and cured herself by taking an herbal remedy called Strauss Heart Drops for about a year. After the year, she was able to eat foods containing gluten without any side effects. What changed? The Strauss Heart Drops fixed her circulatory system. This allowed her body to process gluten properly.

I came across a Mayo Clinic study where they gave patients a drug that harmed the circulatory system. Those same patients experienced Celiac like symptoms.

While I am not a doctor the cause-effect appears rather obvious to me.

Its better science than the research behind the COVID shot.

Is it the grain itself or the Roundup and what not they're contaminated with?

Read “Wheat Belly Revised and Expanded”. All science references are in that book that was initially released 2012 as NYT Best Seller. Glyphosate creates a double whammy then add alcohol and fluoridated water!

John's avatar

Thanks, but I have an over stuffed library, a long "to read" list, I would never buy anything endorsed by the NYT, and utterly reject anything that's the current fashion.

I did a quick search about "wheat belly" and found that my suspicions about it are correct. However, my own dietary guidelines have long been fairly consistent with that trend but I see that it now has a cute name.

Herb,

I will push back on your argument a little. In interviews, Dr. Marik is not a hard-liner saying there is only one way to eat -- so I think he allows for more variability than you think. Also, there are limits to variability. You won't find a human being who "does well" on a diet with less than a gram of omega-3 fatty acids, for instance.

The Pritikin Diet, with under 10% fat, is not represented in ethnographic studies of ancestral diets. And you won't find a human being who "does well" on an "organic" vegetarian diet without modern fortification for B-12.

And if you attempted to exist only on foods with a glycemic load of 24 or above (bagels, baked potato, cranberry juice cocktail, Corn Flakes, green pea soup, raisins, rice, and skim milk), you would end up regretting that decision.

Herb's avatar

I only went by what Dr Marik said in his post. I’m glad to hear that he is open to more diets than simply Keto.

Dr. Gonzales I can assure you would never prescribe a diet with cornflakes and skim milk and cranberry juice cocktail.

Each patient also had to take upwards of 60 vitamins and minerals, glandulars and other supplements every day which was prescribed as was the diet by assessing the patient’s metabolic type.

The diet and supplements often changed as the patient got better or unfortunately in some rare cases did not get better.

The Gonzales Protocol is quite an intricate and individualized protocol which cannot easily be summarized in a few paragraphs.

The bottom line is he helped hundreds of patients live much longer than their prognosis for every type of cancer.

Each patient however had to be extremely motivated given the strict dietary requirements, the massive amount of supplements and glandulars required and the complicated and onerous detox measures that were absolutely required to rid the body of the waste products of the cancer cells as they were being digested.

Peoples' ancestors developed in different parts of the world and maintained certain diets for thousands of years, enough time for that group to become adapted to those diets. Such as Europeans using dairy, some Brahmin in India adapted to veganism, agriculture communities more adapted to grains, hunter/gatherer societies more adapted to lower carbohydrates, those with vampire ancestry adapted to human blood, etc. (That last example was a joke.) Additionally, everyone's biochemistry is different--some make more of certain types of enzymes, some don't make as much, which affects how things are metabolized or not metabolized. Some people have over-methylation, others have under-methylation, some have high histamine, some have low histamine, some can't absorb certain nutrients easily, others absorb or store certain nutrients too much, which all influences what diet or supplements works best for individuals.

I have been seeing a lot of encouraging data on Vitamin C in high doses to treat many things.

Just Comment's avatar

Laboratory studies have shown that high doses of vitamin C may slow the growth and spread of prostate, pancreatic, liver, colon, and other types of cancer cells.

The Godless death elephant in the room is our $62 in fraud fines, Big Pharma's ["medicine"] Not to mention "medicine's" 250 to 440K annual iatrogenic death count, killing more in 3 to 6 years than all 250 years of the USA's war dead! Now, if we could have a jail/punishment-based vaccine, deterring fraud and investigating iatrogenic deaths, like aviation deaths, think of all the lives saved, and money lost by greedy, fraudulent "medicine". God save us from Big Medicine!

Dr Marik is marvelous.

Clark's avatar

Does everyone have to use AI to write articles nowadays--it's so obvious, and I can't stand it. Even if the information may be correct, the way it is presented in that AI vernacular makes me suspicious right off the bat, because when almost everything is written that way now, even by a professional like Dr. Marik, it's hard to tell the sagacious from the mendacious.

John's avatar

Agree.

I'm at the point that I assume it's rubbish until proven otherwise and I'm getting pretty good at sniffing out near book length "ads" about 2 sentences in, and out they go. No second chances for them, either.

A natural diet is certainly very important for health generally. My own take is that pre-agricultural people always eat as much meat/fish as they can get, usually have little to no starch and eat plant foods seasonally. If you add to that an ancestral guideline (for example, far north-west European/Nordic - my profile), that will give a good starting point. I had been vegetarian for some years and had 50% excess weight over normal, then my weight normalized quite quickly and comfortably by mostly avoiding starches (which almost entirely agricultural in my ancestral area), and leaning heavily towards animal foods. Nuts are also fine. Seasonal fruit such as berries and apples seem just fine, and again my distant ancestors would have gorged on fruits for short periods of the year. This results in a mostly keto diet. Many other health issues improved dramatically at the same time, including cognitive and emotional clarity and stability. (We also supplement.)

I'm not a big fan of people who demand payment for their substack articles. I might take the bait though if they'd pay me for my comments!

I love Vitamin C I.V. Dr. Paul Marik. I always love seeing his place in the background of his podcasts too.

Webe1's avatar

Where might I find his podcasts?

Puddin'Tame's avatar

I believe that he is with The Independent Medical Alliance (along with Pierre Corey and others).

Out of curiosity does anyone know if Dr Paul Marik has read , Dr. Lee Ostler DDS’s

Redox Matters: Connecting the Dots Between Redox Biology & Health? Fascinating read and something that is just a communication system between all cells.

The only thing the puppet masters understand is the bottom line. They couldn’t care less about their oath. It’s my sincere hope that whenever they desperately need help that someone shoves a tube in both ends then reverses the suction/pressure cycle every five seconds.

I AGREE TOTALY WITH DR LINUS A BRAUN RPH AS I USE SIMILAR NATURAL MEDICINES. AGAIN A VERY BRAVE MAN TO SPEAK OUT SO CLEARLY THE REAL TRUTH. WHAT IS ALWAYS TOTALY MISSIED OUT . IT WAS NEVER EVER A COVID VACCINE ALSO NEVER A LIST OF WHAT IT CONTAINED. THAT IS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. . IT WAS IN FACT A JAB A DANGEROUS ONE SIMILAR TO SNAKE VENOM WITH PROTINE + AND THAT REPRODUCES ITSELF IN THE BODY NOT A NATURAL BODYS SUBSTANCE. NO JAB AND NATURAL IMMUNITY WAS THE MOST POWERFUL WINNER AND BIG PHARMA DID NOT LIKE IT. JABBING KILLIED IT OFF ALSO COULD GIVE YOU COVID BECAUSE THE JAB WEAKEND ONES IMMUNE SYSTEM.
