IS THERE ALREADY A CURE FOR CANCER? UPDATE

It has been over 30 years since Dr. Bill Cham developed a highly successful treatment for non-melanoma skin cancers (squamous cell cancer, basal cell cancer, and actinic keratosis). I wrote about it here in 2013, but had not yet seen it work then; now that I have (three times!), I think everyone should know about it. My experience with Curaderm My husband had an job working for the local parks every summer while he was in high school and college. He wore baseball caps that…

LOW CARB “RICE” PILAF

Rice is lower in toxins than most grains but it is very high in carbohydrates, which quickly turn to glucose once ingested. The only way to make it suitable for a low-carb diet is to switch it out altogether. Shirataki is made from konjac root (glucomannan), which is almost all soluble fiber. It has no taste and no odor (when properly prepared) but it is a great carrier of flavors and it helps to keep you full. The downside is its rubbery texture, which gets…

KUMQUAT CAKE

Kumquats are usually hard to find and expensive, but I found some on sale at a local Asian market at a very good price. I like to use them in recipes that call for citrus zest because it is so much easier—you just pull out the pulp and use the whole, sweet skin as you would orange or lemon zest. (Most citrus fruits have a thin, outer layer of rind called the zest, a thick, inner layer of bitter, white pith, and sweet, juicy flesh.…

WHITE HOUSE PETITION: REPLACE THE DIETARY GUIDELINES FOR AMERICANS

default image

I’ve been working with Dr. Richard Feinman on a petition to change the process for creating the Dietary Guidelines for Americans so they reflect modern advances in scientific research. The original guidelines were based on weak, population studies from the 1950s and subsequent versions have just recycled the same basic message every five years. The right to petition the government is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution. We now have a special tool for doing this, called We the People, and a website where any citizen can file a White House Petition to ask the Administration to take…
