KEROSENE – a Universal Healer

by Walter Last Turpentine and petroleum distillates similar to kerosene have been used medicinally since ancient times and are still being used as folk remedies up to the present. They were used in ancient Babylon to treat stomach problems, inflammations and ulcers. The process of distilling crude oil/petroleum into hydrocarbon fractions was first described in the ninth century in Persia. The use of these petroleum products is most widespread in poorer countries, including Russia, Eastern Europe and Africa. A recent study in Nigeria found that about 70 per cent of the population used petroleum products medicinally [1]. The most common applications are for infections and infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, cancer, arthritis and rheumatic diseases in general. Even the Rockefellers supposedly started their fortune by selling […] Read More

INSTANT CURE OF THE COMMON COLD

by Walter Last There is an intimate connection between lactose as in milk products and the common cold. Earlier biochemists must have known something that modern biochemists have forgotten and the medical profession has never known when they named oxidized galactose ‘mucic acid’. I found this out 30 years ago while researching health problems related to lactose. Lactose or milk-sugar consists of one molecule each of glucose and galactose linked together. Glucose, of course, is our main muscle fuel. Babies need galactose as an important building block of the brain, the central nervous system and several proteins. Because of our bigger and more complex brain mother’s milk is even higher in lactose than animal milk to ensure that the baby obtains sufficient galactose. In later […] Read More

ALKALIZING WITH SODIUM BICARBONATE AND POTASSIUM CITRATE

by Walter Last Our metabolism works best when the lymph fluid is slightly acid while the blood is always slightly alkaline. If the diet is deficient in minerals or the cellular energy production is inefficient, and produces much lactic acid instead of oxidizing nutrients to carbon dioxide and water, then the body gradually becomes too acid. This leads to loss of minerals and inflammations with pain and oversensitivity. Chronic inflammations cause most of the discomfort and health deterioration associated with chronic diseases. The most common conditions associated with inflammations are infections and Candida problems, autoimmune diseases, including arthritis, and cancer. To reduce and eventually stop destructive inflammations the body needs to be alkalized. This is best done with mineral-rich vegetables, especially green leaf-vegetables and green […] Read More

Uterine Fibroids

by Dr. Rita Louise Uterine fibroids Latina: Uterus myomatosus (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Uterine fibroids are the most common benign (non-cancerous) tumor found in women. As many as three out of four women have uterine fibroids. In most cases, they present no problems and do not require any treatment at all. In fact, most women are unaware they have fibroids, because fibroids often do not cause any symptoms. Fibroids form in the muscle tissues of the uterus. They start out as an irregular cell in the muscle layer of the uterus and slowly grow into a tumor-like mass of connective tissue. The can develop as a single growth, or grow in clusters. Their size can range from that of an apple seed to larger than a […] Read More

Alternative and Complementary Medicine for Stroke

Ginkgo Biloba Ginkgo biloba is used both to prevent and treat stroke. It helps to prevent blood clots from developing and increases blood flow to the brain. This herb has also been shown to inhibit free-radical formation. Ginkgo is widely used in Europe to treat complications of stroke, including memory and balance problems, vertigo and disturbed thought processes. Many studies show that this herb increases blood flow to the brain. Ginkgo also helps reduce fragility of the capillaries. (Capillaries are the tiny blood vessels that fan throughout your body.) This can help prevent hemorrhagic stroke. European physicians often prescribe an extract of ginkgo leaves for stroke survivors. Many doctors say that ginkgo prevents the stroke and, more importantly, it is nontoxic. Select a product containing […] Read More
