OVERCOMING AND CURING CYSTIC FIBROSIS

Gerson Green Healing Juices

THE STORY OF FAYE CHIPPERFIELD
Faye Chipperfield came to the Gerson Therapy hospital at the age of 14 suffering from CF or cystic fibrosis. CF is a genetically-triggered disorder that causes, among other things, excess mucus to clog the lungs and other vital passageways. Such congestion creates a feeding ground for infections. The usual response is a constant treatment with antibiotics. Cystic Fibrosis is said to be incurable. That label is typically proposed when conventional medicine fails to heal and/or assume responsibility for such failures.

REVISION OF THE ORIGINAL BLOG POST
Several readers of this blog have been up in arms about such statements about CF being potentially curable. Thus I have added a more detail to clarify this. I also pointed out in a prior posted blog that CF definitely involves a set of defective genes from both parents. See Cystic Fibrosis – Can It Be Reversed? Some readers tried to say that I had poorly research this issue in saying “CF is only “supposedly genetic” and was therefore posting misinformation. Rather the question remains is the essence of what we are dealing with a fixed and permanent genetic defect. In other words, is this permanently indelible or something that the healing powers of the body can or cannot overcome and repair once genetically triggered. So I am here adding a reference to an important discussion of the gene theory http://bit.ly/Mendel- and therein what is deterministic (cannot be reversed or cured) and what is not so. Certainly genes can help determine whether something in a seed grows to become a potato or a carrot or an apple tree. But other factors, lifetime care and surroundings, also come into play whether such living forms are whole and healthy or subject to disease and rot. The same can be true for our lives.

THE SCARY PART
When a person has an illness as deep-seated, frightening and mysterious as CF , and triggered by hidden genes that we can’t see, feel or touch, we naturally rely immensely on the wisdom, science and knowledge of professionals to help us overcome or at least deal as best with the condition. The advise of MD doctors is thus far more than a deepest emotional security. It is a patient’s most important lifeline to life. Any serious critique of the doctor’s approach will appear threatening. But we have to come to grips with a larger fact. The modern view of healing our bodies is substantially failing on a societal level – with many chronic illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, arthritis, arteriosclerosis on the rise and not being healed. Would a successful healthcare system be discreasing our health costs or near bankrupting our economy? Knowledge is not the same as wisdom (knowing rather what knowledge to know as being vital).

STEPPING OUTSIDE
When stepping outside the allopathic medical paradigms (rooted in the 17th century’s vision) we do see real and dramatic reversals of many major chronic ailments. This is because the life forces in the body are fed, nurtured and elicited or brought out – and not the principles of machines or what is mechanical. Doctors rarely understand how a life-force eliciting therapy works because it violates their root paradigms about pharmacology and genetics. They may call it a fluke or impossible and try to debunk any apparent turnaround as a spontaneous remission. Bringing out living forces is really an entirely different kind of medical science. I outline this in this blog and in other writings - using living foods, periodic detoxifcations, meditation and excise in lieu of drugs, surgery, radiation and genetic engineering. The rare scourge of cystic fibrosis is no exception. This is because the deeper laws of nature may be considered the more universal and deeper digging. Thus imagine that genes or gentic expression can potentially be repaired, in part or full, by such an approach. Here I have just dug up Faye’s single case as an example of many.

ILL AFTER A SERIES OF VACCINATIONS
In the case of Faye, the child appeared normal at birth but at age six months was given a series of vaccinations for mumps, measles and rubella. After this treatment, she developed an infection that she could not overcome. The diagnosis then was cystic fibrosis. Kept on an extended regime of antibiotics, she also began to have pain and breathing difficulties and was not growing normally as is typical for cystic fibrosis sufferers.

LIFE EXPECTANCY
For the record, life expectancy of a CF patient has risen over the past four decades. It has shown considerable progress. Currently it is somewhere between 35-38 years of age, according to different sources. Before digging into several statistical sources, I posted 20 years (copying an older article). On further research I discovered the average life-expectancy was even lower in the 1980′s. Fortunately now we see the median life expectancy is about 32 years for newborns. For those children who survive infancy, average life expectancy is higher, closer to 40 years. Lastly, with adequate pancreatic function it can exceed 50 years. So there is significant cause for hope in terms of life-extension. But another question remains. Can we do still much better by repairing the genetic defect more deeply? Can we actually cure this ailment as such, extending not only the number of years but the ultimate quality of life?

MOTHER AND CHILD’S CONDITIONS BOTH REVERSED
Getting back to our story, with the Gerson Therapy and using intense living food vegetable and fruit juices, Faye’s infections came under control. Her breathing normalized, and her chest pains went away. When the child returned home she went off the Gerson Therapy and some symptoms came back. Ignoring the dire warnings of her Australian physicians, the young girl and her mother braved a long flight and return to the Gerson Mexico clinic where again her condition improved. Her mother’s chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) cleared up as well. As is common with CF patients, Faye was advised she probably could never have children. On the contrary she had a a beautiful, normal and healthy baby.

Some years ago I helped fund the establishment of a Gerson therapy center in Sedona Arizona. We had patients there who reversed many diverse chronic illnesses. Among them was a young chiropractor from Oneonta, NY. He had Stage VI Melanoma, generally incurable, which was reversed.

CYSTIC FIBROSIS – CAN IT BE REVERSED?

Can It Be Reversed?

WHAT IS CYSTIC FIBROSIS

(Healingtalks) Cystic fibrosis is said to be an hereditary disease that mostly affects the clogging of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. It is often thought to be progressive, resulting in increasing disability and early death. The term refers to scarring and cyst formation (such as in the pancreas) and which was first recognized as a distinct ailment in 1930. The most pronounced symptom are the obstruction of body channels. The results include difficulty in breathing and frequent lung and sinus infections – along with poor growth, diarrhea, and infertility. The overall cause is presumably a mutation of the gene CFTR or cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. The gene is linked to the regulation of sweat, digestive juices, and mucus. It is known as an autosomal recessive disease as it develops when two paired genes from both parents are not working normally.

PREVALENCE OR RARITY OF CF

About 1 in 3,000 white births, 1 in 15,000 black births, and 1 in 32,000 Asian births exhibit this disease. Approximately 30,000 Americans have cystic fibrosis. This makes it one of the most common, life-shortening diseases. CF patients progressively worsen and die at a young age. Sometimes they receive lung transplants to try to lengthen their life span. As with most chronic and systemic ailments, allopathic medicine states that it sees no cure for cystic fibrosis. The only conventional prognosis then is for life-long treatment.

TESTING FOR CF

A simple saliva test can determine the presence of cystic fibrosis, as can genetic testing. Newborns can be screened via a blood test (looking for concentrations of immunoreactive trypsinogen) though it can provide a false positive so that this has to be confirmed via a sweat test. Parents can also undergo prenatal testing.

CF SYMPTOMS

Cystic Fibrosis symptoms include salty tasting skin (high levels of sweat electrolytes), sticky mucous, poor ability to gain height or weight, despite a normal diet. Bowel obstructions may occur as well as chronic coughing, gagging, vomiting and/or shortness of breath due to clogging of the airways. Clogging of the pancreas results in poor digestion or malabsorption. Damage of the pancreas can also lead to diabetes. At least 97% of men with cystic fibrosis are infertile but not sterile – or can have children via assisted means.

A RUTHLESS DISEASE

Needless to say, cystic fibrosis is a ruthless disease, and we can find more details about its conventional writeups such as that of Wikepedia. Here we move on to the main question.

IS CF AN INCUREABLE DISEASE?

First it is important to know that what in allopathic medical lore is called a disease symptom is often the result of our bodies trying to rid themselves of toxins. This includes the formation of mucous which, as David Wolfe points out in the SunfoodDiet, both buffers sensitive organs and transports acids and chemical poisons out of the body. This is why we cough and sneeze. Fevers which are triggered by infections do the same. They try to help the body rid itself of what is harmful. If we treat such “diseased conditions” via suppressive means, as is common in conventional modern medicine, we may be thwarting the core of a healing process – and thus causing a progressive degeneration that ultimately must lead to death. And so we may give the patient powerful antibiotics to suppress fevers and abnormally high protein diets, which are generally acid-forming and thus mucus generating! Indeed then cystic fibrosis becomes an incurable disease that is life-threatening.

GENE-THEORY

The original gene theory was the result of Gregory Mendel’s attempt to understand any transfer of features from parent to offspring via some atomic-like, thus mechanical, statistical or math-bound view. Life’s generational adventures were forced to fit the overall mechanical model of Newton’s universe. What this ignores is that life and consciousness do not fit that model. Life and consciousness are at the core of our being and not the principles of a machine.

CONSCIOUSNESS

Because consciousness is the relationship of connection itself in nature and healing also is a form of reconnection, the enhancement of consciousness results in depth and integral healing. This is something largely unknown in modern medicine. Thus to say that genes maintain a life-long fixed and predetermined disease path is essentially expressive of the same mechanistic/machine-like view of our bodies. This fits the needs of a commercial, price-tagging culture. The problem is when one is stuck in a mechanical view, there is no deep understanding of how to elicit again life’s consciousness/healing forces. Then the mechanical view (including the chemical, math-designed) becomes dominant and prophetically self-determinative. The illness follows its mechanical course – as expected – downhill. To change that downward course we need to break out of the whole and entire mechanical mindset.

EXAMPLE OF A DOWNHILL PATH

Let me illustrate this with an example highlighted in an essay by my friend Arnold, of Arnold’s Way. It is the story of a little boy by the name of Thomas Paul Parson, Jr. He was born in 1997 and diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the age of 4 months. He soon had weight loss which brought his weight down to 7 lbs. As his mucous thickened and would not drain, he was treated with nine chemical medications for nearly half a year. He was given extra protein and calories as that is the normal. The overload creates yet more mucous – especially when dairy products are involved. The body starts to cough more, being further abused. Fevers and more skin sweat excretions occur as the body struggles nobly to offset the treatment. Thomas Paul was bombarded by the best of conventional know-how for a year and a half and with no signs of improvement. He constantly had pneumonia bouts. He was fed intravenously with a tube surgically installed, and to the point of his small veins collapsing.

REVERSING CF DIRECTIONS

Then at 22 months of age his parents decided to switch gears. They took their child off the medications and replaced them with a diet of raw and living fruits and vegetables. The transformation and reversal was immediate. As the diet changed, so did the symptoms. The pneumonia bouts stopped, the shortness of breath, the coughs, the thick mucous excretions. The X-rays showed the lung tissue scars, a gross manifestation of cystic fibrosis, were gone. Thomas Paul is now growing up normally.

PAST DEPTH-ILLUSIONS

We have written over and over again that modern medicine has its epistemological and ontological roots – its knowledge gaining and physical foundations – in the essential illusion process of human consciousness. What is illusion? It is the breakdown in the integrity of consciousness. What is consciousness? The principle of connection itself in nature. How does modern medicine organize its consciousness overall? Via the study of chemistry, physics, and genetics or the math-based view of nature – the mechanical. What is mathematics? The highest organizing abstractions for the separation of all elements of consciousness. This designs what is mechanical - creating machines made of separate parts. In living and healing domains, however, those symbols work to disintegrate the connective essence of consciousness. Why? Because again consciousness’ essential essence is universally connectivity, and what math symbols point to is universally separative – disintegrating phenomenon. This helps build machines made of separate parts that are neither conscious nor alive. It is thus a mistake to view the physical body as a machine. This extends to the gene theory which is also a mechanical view of our inherent essence.

IN PRACTICAL TERMS

Most physicians are not really callous, malicious or deceitful. They, themselves, tend to believe in what they practice as being the best. They have little clue about alternatives and how they might work differently. With a large percentage of medical educational being funded by pharmaceutical giants, modern physcians turn out to be mis-educated in the natural healing arts.

STOPPED LISTING

The so-called miracle of Thomas Paul’s reversal is actually routine among the rare patients who turn to natural healing arts that involve the re-establishing of a higher level of life force in the body. It occurred in this case because his parents stopped listening to, as Arnold writes, phrases like ”closely monitored in taking of drugs,” “getting the best of individualized care” or “following the lastest pharmaceutical studies that have shown clearly that…” and so on and so forth - the typical authority-generating, mumbo-jumbo fooling jargon. Thomas Paul’s parents had the strength and courage to spiritually break out of this modern madness.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE

It was 24years ago that Denley Fowlke had two beautiful twin daughers who were fed the Standard American Diet (SAD). When they appeared ill, he allowed doctors to give them antibiotics but this failed to help them with their frequent infections. His daughters started to also lose weight. After being diagnosed with cystic fibrosis they were given more drugs. Screening and diagnosis is modern medicine’s gateway to pharmaceutical sales. Since the drugs weren’t working, the doctors suggested sending his daughters to the University of Utah for still more intense drug therapy. Denley, after some deep thought and prayers, gathered the intense inner strength needed to resist such culturally dominant advise. A friend suggested he should speak to a lay and alternative healer. He went to her, and her words which ringed in his mind for years were “you do what I say and you will never have these babies back in the hospital.”

ALTERNATIVES THERAPIES FOR CF

So Denley returned home to clear his kitchen cupboards of all SAD processed foods and began to buy just fresh fruits and vegetables. The girls took two mineral baths each day for two hours. The result was a deep detoxification from precisely the drug therapies meant for ”disease maintenance.” This then allowed a true healing to begin. If an intense healing crisis or fever started to manifest, fresh potato juices rather than antibiotics was used. The symptoms were not treated as a disease to suppress. They were rather seen as a sign of immense hope and encouragement . The body was trying and now able to reverse the condition. Over time the two girls developed rashes, again a great healing sign as the body was ready to release poisons. Over more time the traditional symptoms of cystic fibrosis subsided and disappeared.

MOVING OUT OF AN AGE OF DARKNESS

We live in an age of immense spiritual and health practice darkness but with growing signs of light and hope. Some cannot see through the thick brambles of modern illusions. As the breakdown of consciousness integrity occurs, so also the consequences include a parallel breakdown of our body’s health. But this is a learning adventure for those willing to learn what nature teaches us. Thus the reverse is also true. As the clouds within begin to clear, we start to see more light and travel ever more steadily on a path to integral wholeness and healing.
