A Startling New Discovery about Chronic Pain:
It May Often be Caused by a Microbe

    Whether pain is caused by cancer or a less dangerous condition like arthritis, the main thing people want when they're dealing with it is RELIEF. Today, I want to tell you about a startling new claim about the causes of some kinds of pain, and a solution, too. It might be worth a try.

    This new theory targets a variety of other causes of pain besides cancer — for example, chronic fatigue, Lyme disease and lupus. I'm not sure it will be useful for cancer pain at all. But it bears a striking resemblance to some theories about what causes cancer, and that was enough to make me sit up and pay attention.

    If these folks are onto something, it could be an important medical breakthrough. Keep reading and I'll explain. . .

Why Most Health Foods are a Waste of Money
By Lee Euler

    You can take vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants by the handful and still suffer poor health. Now we know why. Our diets lack a vital food -- a type of nutrient that even alternative doctors don’t know about. Thanks to this supplement, a mother’s lifelong migraines disappeared, and a man with "terminal" kidney cancer was alive 15 years later. He’s just one of thousands of cancer patients who have taken this supplement and seen remarkable results.

    There’s more: It’s one of the most popular pain relievers in Germany, used by that country’s Olympic team to help athletes get rid of pain and accelerate healing from sports injuries. It outperforms prescription blood clot drugs — in my opinion, patients should take this supplement instead of blood-thinning drugs like warfarin. And it even helps 9 out of 10 autistic children. The mother of a 7-year-old autistic child starting giving him this supplement after reading my Special Report The Missing Ingredient — and he started speaking after having been nonverbal his whole life!

    How can ONE supplement possibly do all this? Just ask yourself: What if you were getting NO vitamins in your diet? You’d be very sick. This nutrient is just as important and you’re getting almost none. Read more here about The Missing Ingredient, and consider trying it yourself.


    Most cancer doctors' answer to pain management is simple:

D-R-U-G-S!

    The World Health Organization's pain management plan recommends starting with acetaminophen or aspirin for mild pain.

    But if pain is more severe, they encourage doctors to prescribe stronger drugs like methadone, morphine, and oxycodone.

    Naturally many folks worry about the prospects of becoming addicted to prescription painkillers.

    And there are also other sickening side effects such as:

  • Breathing problems
  • Constipation
  • Kidney failure
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Sexual dysfunction

    As if that weren't scary enough, sometimes doctors will prescribe more drugs to take with the pain medication to make it more effective.

Who else wants a dose of PAIN with their painkillers?

    According to the National Cancer Institute, some drugs that may be added to painkiller prescriptions include antidepressants, anticonvulsants, bisphosphonates, corticosteroids, local anesthetics, and stimulants.

    NCI admits that side effects often result from doubling up the prescriptions. This is not rare; it's a common occurrence. For example, using bisphosphonates may cause chills and fever.

    What's more, after several days of use, patients may even experience severe and sometimes disabling pain in the bones, joints, and muscles!

    Imagine that—one of the very drugs used to enhance the painkillers actually CAUSES new pains to develop.

    Fortunately, drugs are not the only option for pain management. A team of health professionals thinks they may have a non-invasive pain treatment remedy that could be helpful…

    It's called the Jaffe-Mellor Technique (JMT) and is named for its originators:

  • Carolyn Jaffe, D.Ac., Dipl. NCCA is a board certified doctor of acupuncture and a doctoral candidate in Naturopathy. She holds certifications in allergy elimination, enzyme therapy, herbology and many other techniques.
  • Judy Mellor, RN, is a doctoral candidate in nutrition and has twenty-five years of Western medicine experience as a critical care nurse. She is a certified Oriental medical herbalist with certifications in numerous other modalities as well.

    Their treatment technique is designed to address chronic degenerative disorders such as Crohn's disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, lupus, Lyme disease, rheumatoid arthritis, trauma-related and post-surgical pain disorders and more.

    Many of these are autoimmune disorders—those caused when your immune system turns on itself and begins to attack its own tissues.

    A compromised immune system can leave you wide open to cell-damaging free radicals.

    Jaffe and Mellor said doctors treat nearly all autoimmune disorders with drugs that often suppress immune system function. This is not too surprising, when you consider these problems are caused by an overactive immune system.

    These drugs are commonly prescribed in a three-tier approach:

  1. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen
  2. Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDS)
  3. Experimental drugs, which can include anti-cancer drugs like Methotrexate

    The originators say the Jaffe-Mellor Technique is a revolutionary way to significantly reduce pain… stop the body from attacking itself… and resolve symptoms associated with many autoimmune conditions.

    If you're wondering how this could be—read on!

A three-step, drug-free approach to pain management!

    Jaffe and Mellor found some common factors in patients with arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.

    For starters, they all had tiny bacteria in their bodies that Jaffe and Mellor called external pathogenic factors (EPFs). They also noted that these EPFs could easily invade bodies with compromised immune systems.

    Finally, they noticed that the immune system launched frequent and continuous attacks on body areas where EPFs were located.

    They theorized that many chronic, degenerative diseases result from EPFs' ability to hide from your immune system.

    Because your immune system can't find these bacteria to eliminate them, they are always in attack mode. This causes the tissue destruction and pain that are common to chronic inflammation disorders.

    JMT proposes this three-pronged approach to eliminating autoimmune diseases and chronic pain:

  1. Deactivate the pathogen.
  2. Desensitize the immune system to healthy tissue.
  3. Stimulate repair.

    Jaffe and Mellor thought about the energy signature associated with these bacteria. This refers to the energy frequency or vibration that is unique to each pathogen.

    Their treatment plan suggests that these energy signatures can be imprinted into vials of water. Practitioners can use different pathogen vials along with manual muscle testing techniques to identify the specific pathogen causing problems.

    Once a practitioner has pinpointed the problem, treatment involves chiropractic and acupressure techniques to treat the body's negative response to that pathogen.

    The JMT website says you don't need a specific chronic disease diagnosis to benefit from the technique.

    Because some pathogens can reside harmlessly in your body for years before triggering immune system attacks, JMT can help destroy these bacteria before they cause chronic disease and pain.

    And some anecdotal evidence suggests JMT provides a powerful pain management tool as well. For example, the JMT website reports the following positive cases:

  • A chiropractor suffering with severe osteoarthritis received JMT treatments at a seminar in 2001. Within a week of the first of two treatments all knee pain was gone, and has not returned!
  • A 21-year old male college basketball player with an injured knee continued to experience pain after two years of conventional medical treatments. He even tested positive for osteoarthritis and was restricted from playing basketball.

    After receiving JMT treatments, he noticed a remarkable decline in pain almost immediately. By his the fifth and final treatment, the young man was completely pain free and even resumed playing with his basketball team!
    The JMT founders don't specifically promote the technique as a cancer treatment. But it does use some acupressure techniques that many cancer patients have embraced as an effective pain management method.

    And because it can help diagnose bacteria that may be lurking in your body to cause future health problems—you might think it's worth a second look!

    I find it fascinating that so many aspects of the Jaffe-Mellor technique resemble the theories and treatments of "fringe" alternative cancer therapies like Rife. The Rife theory holds that cancer is caused by a microbe that modern, mainstream science has failed to identify. By targeting and destroying the microbe, Rife advocates claim you can destroy cancer.

    And likewise, the notion that you can "imprint" water with the energy signature of the bacteria that cause pain. Regular readers will see a resemblance to homeopathic medicine.

    I don't want to make too much of these coincidences. We need to know far more. One day, I hope some fraction of the billions of dollars that are poured into mainstream medicine will be made available to alternative medicine so we can see what's the scientific basis for the success some patients enjoy with homeopathy and Rife.

    Meanwhile, you know I like mushroom remedies for their powerful effect on the immune system. Last issue I wrote about one that was previously unknown to me, and it sounds very promising. If you missed the article, you can read it now below.


The Chinese Single This Out as the
"King of Plants"
— And Modern Science Calls it the
Most Powerful Antioxidant Yet Found

    It's nearly as hard as wood, resembles a lump of coal, and has the highest antioxidant value of any food on earth, as measured by the ORAC scale.

    The Japanese call it the "Diamond of the Forest"… the Siberians have bestowed on it the dual accolades of "Gift from God" and the "Mushroom of Immortality"… and the Chinese dub it the "King of Plants" (despite their centuries-long love affair with an amazing number of medicinal plants).

    Still, most Americans have never heard of it. In fact, many would associate it with the name of an infection called Chagas disease, not a source of "immortality"…keep reading for more. . .

It's a Mushroom — Not a Disease!

    Actually, the chaga I'm talking about has nothing at all to do with Chagas disease, which is named for a Dr. Chagas and is caused by a nasty microbe.

    Chaga is a non-toxic, parasitic medicinal mushroom with anti-cancer properties. It grows in birch forests in harsh northern latitudes — the kinds of places we associate with freezing to death fast, not "immortality."

    In China, Siberia, Finland, Japan, and Poland, ancient and native peoples have long known about the benefits of chaga.

    Older Asians use it for healthy natural balance. It is thought to support the life force or life energy they call chi (also spelled qi and pronounced "chee"). They believe consuming this mushroom extends youthfulness, prolongs life, and enhances immunity.

    To get more scientific, chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is unusual among mushrooms. Instead of gills or caps, the chaga has pores. And inside, it's a brownish-yellow cork-like mass with beige veins. Its use has been documented in the oldest surviving official list of medicinal substances — the Chinese book Sennong Ben Cao Jing, which is 2300 years old.

    Call it folk medicine or traditional medicine if you will, but modern science suggests the ancients were on to an amazing secret.

    Isn't it time you got in on it too? Let's take a look. . .

A wealth of phytonutrients in one food

    Chaga's potency may be directly linked to the harshness of the climate it grows in. Some people believe its properties arise from the trees it grows on, mostly birch.

    Researchers have even inoculated sick trees with it, to make them healthy again. So what might it be able to do for you?

    Chaga is a dense powerhouse of 215 potent phytonutrients — including B vitamins, flavonoids, phenols, minerals, and enzymes. It contains one of the world's densest sources of pantothenic acid, and high amounts of riboflavin and niacin. Pantothenic acid is especially useful for supporting your adrenal glands and digestive organs.

    Chaga is also rich in a set of phenolic compounds called chromogenic complex. Don't let the term scare you. What you need to know is that it protects your tissues and skin. And it's only found in chaga.

    Looking for a great natural source of minerals? Chaga shines here too. It is especially high in copper, calcium, potassium, manganese, zinc, and iron.

    One of the biggest claims made for chaga is that it's rich in a special substance called superoxide dismutase (SOD), which is available from very few sources.

    SOD is a very potent enzyme that can stop oxidation in its tracks — especially the most dangerous type of free radical, called singlet oxygen, that causes rapid aging. (This is the same oxygen that makes nails rusty.)

    Your body can make its own SOD — but by about the age of 30 your own levels may drop substantially. (Learn more about SOD in Issue #92.)

    Chaga contains extremely high levels of SOD (about 10,000 to 20,000 active SOD units per gram). Generally, SOD taken by mouth is destroyed by stomach acid and the nutrient doesn't make it into the blood and tissues, but chaga's advocates believe the mushroom does deliver SOD to the body.

    Besides SOD, chaga is the richest known source of polysaccharides, botulin and betulinic acid — and delivers them in a whole-food, bioavailable form.

The Soviets declared chaga a national secret

    Nobel laureate Alexander Solzhenitzyn is credited with informing the West about the health benefits of chaga in his book The Cancer Ward — where his character in the novel took it and was cured.

    In the 1950s, chaga was endorsed by Moscow's Medical Academy of Science, and was widely used by their public. During these years, 1,200 of their most prominent scientists conducted more than 3,000 experiments involving 500,000 people to study the effects of adaptogens.

    An adaptogen is a substance that has the ability to reduce your body's negative response to stress. Many studies suggest that up to 80 percent of ALL diseases have a root link to stress. So adaptogens can be critical to your health.

    The findings from the Soviet research became a protected national secret for 40 years… one of the secrets behind the physical strength and power of people fortunate enough to get chaga, including cosmonauts and other members of the Soviet elite.

    Russia fed its elite athletes chaga. And they were famously dominant in international competitions for decades.

A secret of Chinese longevity

    Chaga is a health food that can support your entire system.

    The ancient Chinese held that it was a longevity factor. That's why they consider it the most complete of all foods.

    In much of Siberia, Russia, and Eastern Europe it's considered an essential daily beverage, said to add years to lives of those who use it.

    Many Japanese and Koreans reportedly prefer chaga to tea and coffee, because of its cleansing and adaptogenic factors. Some people describe its flavor as between tea and coffee.

Protects against and kills cancer

    Chaga is a natural cancer fighter — possibly thanks to betulinic acid. It prevents cancer from developing, and kills cancer cells without collateral damage to your healthy cells.

    It is thought to work by indirectly activating various immune responses to cancer in your body that help kill cancer cells.

    Chaga is also rich in beta glucans, which help support your immune system. Beta glucans allow your immune cells to identify cancer cells and deformed cells as "non-self".1 This enables the immune cells to go on the attack against them. Under normal circumstances, cancer cells are coated with a protein that masks them to immune cells, so the immune system has trouble identifying them.

    Chaga is known to help protect against prostate, breast, ovarian, cervical, lung, stomach, spleen, brain and thymus cancers… and also leukemia, melanoma, and lymphoma. I'd call it an all-around cancer preventative.

    Research in Seoul, South Korea2 found that chaga protects your cells from DNA mutations in the face of oxidative stress. In fact, chaga-treated cells experienced a whopping 40 percent reduction of DNA mutation, versus untreated cells.

    The Japanese discovered that chaga offers higher levels of cell-protective antioxidants than other medicinal mushrooms in their study.

    That's not to say you shouldn't eat a variety of medicinal mushrooms. You can discover more about the health benefits of beta glucans, which we reported on in Issue #177 and about the merits of maitake mushrooms in Issue #220.

    As you probably know, radiation exposure can do irreparable DNA damage. But some research indicates that chaga can reduce radiation-related toxicity.

    And wouldn't you know… Big Pharma wants in the game, now that these anti-cancer properties have come to light. Chaga is now being studied for use as a chemotherapy agent. Someday they'll probably introduce an "approved" version of chaga, at a very high price.

Most powerful antioxidant known

    The chaga mushroom sits high atop first place on the ORAC scale, a measure of antioxidant levels in your food. Goji berries aren't even close to chaga, yet they get more attention.

    Besides being an antioxidant, chaga is known for its anti-cancer, anti-viral, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties.

    There's one other benefit for you, if you're insulin resistant or have type 2 diabetes… Chaga can help normalize your metabolism, which can provide a cascade of other health benefits. (See section on Warnings if you're on diabetic medication.)

    Oh… and the Russians managed to formulate a joint cream out of chaga. Tiny microcapsules allow chaga ingredients to easily penetrate the skin and soothe your joints. The topical remedy is said to relieve pain, end muscle spasms, stimulate toxic and salt removal from the joint, and slow cartilage deterioration.

Two warnings before you use chaga

    Chaga has been used without problems for thousands of years.

    But given today's culture where millions are on pharmaceutical drugs, you should be aware of two possible drug interactions. If you're not on these drugs, everything we've found suggests clear sailing.

  • Chaga magnifies the effects of anti-clotting drugs like aspirin and warfarin (so-called blood thinners). So if you're on those, consult with your doctor before using chaga. A wide range of supplements are blood thinners, including fish oil and digestive enzymes, so this is not a big deal. If your doctor is cooperative, he should be willing to let you reduce or possibly even eliminate the pharmaceutical blood thinner because the natural supplement will do the job.
  • Chaga also interacts with diabetes medications like insulin. It thereby raises your risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and could send your blood sugar levels into free fall.

What's the best form of chaga?
(There are many choices)

    Chaga is bitter, so it's a bit tricky to find a way to enjoy it. But here are some ideas for you.

  • Use raw chaga drops under your tongue.
  • Enjoy a chaga birch bark tea. There are some that include milk and cinnamon. You can even enhance it with a teaspoon of raw honey and organic chocolate powder or a small square of organic chocolate bar.
  • Some people enjoy adding chai tea to their chaga.
  • Chaga is available as a face or body cream.
  • Take it as a supplement, preferably made from mushrooms harvested the natural way and not lab-grown. Attempts to cultivate chaga reportedly yield a product that's doesn't have the same biological composition as the wild product.

    The original chaga is truly wild — and free of chemicals and solvents.

    Why not sooth yourself with your own personal wild, raw chaga experience? You just may decide you can feel the power of the wild forest…
