Stealth Virus, Bacteria and Fungi

Part Two

The Vitamin D Receptor is a 423-residue long protein consisiting of two domains:

DNA binding

domain and ligand binding domain (LBD), the latter one pictured above. The VDR

belongs to the

nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily including receptors for the steroid, retinoid

and thyroid hormones.

     Dr. Trevor Marshall and others believe that the ability of the Th1

pathogens to proliferate in the body is directly related to the vitamin D

receptor (VDR). Critically important to the body, the Vitamin D Receptor (VDR)

controls the innate immune system – the body’s first line of defense against

infection. The VDR is also responsible for turning on/off a wide array of genes

and chemical pathways. Another of the VDR’s myriad jobs is to control

expression of several families of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), proteins that

kill bacteria, viruses and fungi by a variety of mechanisms including disrupting

membranes, interfering with metabolism, and targeting components of the

machinery inside the cell.

     Dr. Marshall and associates come up with a very allopathic way of

treatment to root out these L bacteria or fungi or whatever pathogen names you

want to call them by. But would anyone who has an inclination toward natural

medicines want anything to do with the Marshall Protocol of sun and vitamin D

deprivation 1 along with long term low dosage antibiotic administrations? Their

approach is to totally cut patients off from the sun in a most radical way and

to not take any vitamin D supplement to remove pressure on the Vitamin D

Receptors and then to treat with a myriad of low dose antibiotics. Their

treatments provoke what are experienced as detox reactions during the months and

even years the treatments takes, which are explained or rationalized to be yeast

or L-bacteria die offs. Dr. Marshall though started out on the exact right point

2 and that is the effort to go right into the heart of cells and to join in

battle with the enemy within,

infections, colonies of living protein alien to our biology. For certain

classifications of patients this is as important as breathing air.

     The active form of vitamin D binds to intracellular receptors that

then function as transcription factors to modulate gene expression. Like the

receptors for other steroid hormones and thyroid hormones, the vitamin D

receptor has hormone-binding and DNA-binding domains. The vitamin D receptor

forms a complex with another intracellular receptor, the retinoid-X receptor,

and that heterodimer is what binds to DNA. In most cases studied, the effect is

to activate transcription, but situations are also known in which vitamin D

suppresses transcription and this is what the Marshall Protocol of sunlight

deprivation seeks to control.

     But sunlight triggers formation of antimicrobial peptides, which are

potent and broad spectrum antibiotics. Interestingly the factor most associated

with increased melanoma risk was the use of sunscreens, which suppresses vitamin

D formation and increase toxic loads due to transdermal penetration. Subjects

who often used sunscreens had triple the melanoma risk compared with subjects

who never used sunscreens. Skin color and higher numbers of sunbaths were

significant protective factors.  Subjects who took more than 30 sunbaths per

year were ten times less likely to have melanoma, compared with subjects who

took less than 20 sunbaths per year.  However, sunbaths had no protective value

when they were associated with sunburns.3

A molecular model comparing the structure of 25-D and of 1,25-D

     Based on whole body sufficiency for iodine, the US population is

severely deficient in this essential element and that is a factor left out of

the Marshall Protocol that is important because iodine plays a role in vitamin D

metabolism and has a modulating effect on target organ response to calcitriol,

the normal range of serum 25-OH-[D.sub.3] would need re-evaluation in whole body

iodine sufficient individuals, according to Dr. Guy E. Abraham and Dr. D.

Flechas. Vitamin D is essentially a steroid and iodine affects receptor

responsiveness to estrogens and other steroids.4

     Whole body iodine sufficiency has a direct bearing on the conversion

of 25-OH-[D.sub.3] to the active hormone calcitriol. These doctors also point

out that magnesium increases the 1-hydroxydase activity of the kidney.5

Therefore adequate magnesium intake would lower the serum 25-OH-[D.sub.3] levels

required for adequate calcitriol synthesis.6 One would expect a magnesium

sufficient individual to achieve normal calcitriol levels with lower serum

25-OH-[D.sub.3] than in a magnesium deficient individual. These doctors have

used iodine successfully for the treatment of fibromyalgia (FM) pain and

associated discomfort, one of the same diseases that the Marshall Protocol seeks

to alleviate.7

Fungi make things. They spit out these chemical mycotoxins as readily as we

exhale carbon dioxide. These toxins can cause cancer, destroy our organs,

alter our immune system, and affect our hormonal balance. There are mycotoxins

that laboratory scientists can inject into animals and cause them to have both

Type

1 diabetes and insulin resistance. That information alone is enough to make

front-page headlines, yet in which newspaper have you seen this discovery boldly

displayed?

     Normally, candida albicans lives peacefully in our intestines and

elsewhere, in harmony with other flora that keep the yeast in check. Take an

antibiotic and all this changes. By suppressing the normal flora, candida takes

over and problems begin. In its mild form the result is diarrhea or a yeast

infection. Dr. Elmer Cranton says that, “Yeast overgrowth is partly iatrogenic

(caused by the medical profession) and can be caused by antibiotics and

cortisone medications. A diet high in sugar also promotes overgrowth of yeast. A

highly refined diet common in industrialized nations not only promotes growth of

yeast, but is also deficient in many of the essential vitamins and minerals

needed by the immune system. Chemical colorings, flavorings, preservatives,

stabilizers, emulsifiers, etc., add more to stress on the immune system.â€

Magnesium chloride is the only form of

Mg known to have anti-infectious properties.

     The connection between bacteria and calcification in heart disease has

already been noted. Researchers at the Hospital Das Clinicas in Brazil found

significantly higher concentrations of Chlamydia pneumoniae and Mycoplasma

pneumoniae in calcified nodes of blood vessels throughout the body, including

the heart and the aorta - causing them to suggest that “these bacteria may be

associated with the development of calcification and inflammation.†L-form

bacteria in the brain cause the release of cytokines that damage the tissues.

Sometimes the resulting inflammation damages blood vessels and promotes

calcification, but it is the L-form bacteria, not the calcium that is the true

culprit. One has to be very careful when laying blame on minerals. The real

problem with calcium is when it is in excess relative to magnesium thus

deficient magnesium leads to calcium excess and inflammation.

Iodine is utilized by every hormone receptor in the body.

The absence of iodine causes a hormonal dysfunction that

can be seen with practically every hormone inside the body.

Flechas

     Over 30 years ago, two ophthalmologists observed that a combination

tablet called " Iodo-niacin " (iodide 120 milligrams, niacin 15 milligrams) taken

for several months could actually reverse atherosclerotic clogging of arteries.

They proved this effect by taking pictures of clogged arteries in the backs of

the eyes (retinal photomicrographs) before and after treatment. The published

photographs showed a significant lessening of the cholesterol-laden artery

clogging in the " after " pictures. Iodine is an anti- inflammatory because it

destroys most single cell pathogens and even biofilms on contact. Iodine is an

essential mineral important for many crucial components of healthy human

physiology so it makes a far better antibiotic, anti fungal and weapon against

stealth viruses including L-bacteria or mycoplasmas than pharmaceuticals.

     Today we have to change our perceptions about infections and

infectious processes. We need to shift away from the competing paradigms of

pathogen vs. terrain. We need to deal simultaneously with pathogen, terrain and

poison. Mercury provides the ideal environment for viruses, bacteria, fungi and

yeast infections. Though most are in denial, we are being overrun by mercury

pollution, which is everywhere in the air, water, food, vaccines, dental amalgam

and even beauty products. Practitioners are now looking at autism as an issue of

both “infections and toxins.†Interestingly doctors involved with the

treatment of autism with heavy metal chelation find that when they go after

viruses they get heavy metal excretions. When they go after metals they find

that they are getting rid of viruses, bacteria, and fungus as well.

Part of our infection fighting arsenal needs to include selenium and ALA (Alpha

Lipoic Acid) and this is critical not only for maintaining glutathione levels

but

also for the neutralization of mercury. Alpha Lipoic acid is a potential first

agent for protection from mycotoxins and treatment of mycotoxicosis.8

     You cannot treat infectious diseases in effective ways without dealing

with the soil of the infection, with the mercury and other chemical toxicities

that are driving the pathogens in the first place. A doctor needs to know his

poisons but most are in denial of the fact that most pharmaceuticals are

mitochondrial poisons. Modern medicine in the United States and a great part of

the world is lost when it comes to dealing with mercury and in fact endorses its

use in vaccines and dental medicine. Certainly the government does not think

it’s worth the effort to control the fifty tons of mercury that come out of

its coal fired electrical plants, spilled into the air each year.

Garlic is one food that has powerful anti-bacterial

and anti-fungal properties and some scientific studies

have found it to be at least as effective as the popular

anti-fungal drug, Nystatin, in destroying candida albicans.

     In a practical applications chapter called Combining Oral with

Transdermal - Dose Sensitivity & Therapeutic Effect, we find that when using

nutritional medicines like magnesium chloride, iodine, sodium bicarbonate,

vitamin C and alpha Lipoic Acid, the dose does make the effect but in a sense

opposite to the allopathic paradigm. In Natural Allopathic Medicine we often

take doses to exceedingly high levels without the side effects found in

pharmaceuticals that are an ever present danger even at very low dosages.

     In allopathic medicine everything, even water and vitamin C are placed

on a scale of toxicity with everything being defined as poisonous. And though

it’s true, one can drown in water a large person can safely drink a gallon of

it a day and one can put pounds of magnesium chloride in one’s bath and take

very high dosages of iodine safely for infectious disorders without the serious

and dangerous downside of antibiotics.

     It is more than possible to cure incurable diseases if we take the

right approach that deals with all sides of the equation when one uses the right

dosages of iodine, magnesium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, Alpha Lipoic Acid,

selenium and vitamin C and this is not an exhaustive list. The key to successful

treatment is found in the concentration when using such nutritional medicines,

which is the opposite of The Marshall Protocol which follows the allopathic

tradition but goes even lower in its use of poisons (antibiotics).

     One of the reasons I built the foundation of my medical approach

called Natural Allopathic Medicine on transdermal medicine is that transdermal

application of magnesium chloride offers the strongest and most effective way

that magnesium can be administered safely and economically. Iodine also can be

used transdermally for great effect. Transdermal medicine is ideal when treating

children because it is easy to administer. With strong therapeutic baths one can

load the body not only with magnesium but also with sodium bicarbonate and

sodium thiosulfate. Natural Allopathic Medicine stresses nutritional medicine

but its main thrust is the use of concentrated nutritional substances that

effectively replace most of the dangerous drugs allopathic medicine uses.

With partial legal immunity, Big Pharma has been able to market practically any

poison as a " drug, " regardless of how many people were killed. The Supreme

Court of the United States has just changed all of that making the companies

responsible for damages even if their drugs have been approved by the FDA.

     Many decades ago The American Cancer Society said, " Cancer is not

caused or cured by any known diet. " Nothing has changed in all these years and

the American Diabetes Association maintains a similar position with diabetes.

This pathology of wrongness gets expressed by attacking the use of vitamin and

mineral supplements and the attack takes the form of publications in the medical

media about studies that use dosages that are way too low for therapeutic

affect. Codex and major medical organizations are conspiring to keep vitamin and

mineral dosages to a minimum when in fact they should be maximized.

     We can more easily see now why modern medicine has not been able to

cure any chronic disease even with hundreds of billions of dollars in misplaced

research. In the case of cancer and diabetes it has been blind to the infectious

side of the question. And because the medical industrial complex uses heavy

metals like mercury it remains blind to  low levels of toxicity from metals,

chemicals, drugs and even ionizing radiation, which are used in many of its

testing procedures and in cancer treatment.

     It is truly sad that modern medicine has turned its back on iodine and

tragic that one of its most powerful and effective emergency room medicines for

cardiac arrest and stroke, magnesium chloride, continues to be ignored in the

treatment of chronic diseases. Even sodium bicarbonate, an extraordinarily

effective antifungal used constantly with chemo therapy is ignored for the

powerful medicine it actually is. Certain doctors like Dr. Burt Berkson,

licensed by the FDA to study intravenous use of ALA understand how it can be

used when concentrated.

     I wrote and published my Survival Medicine for the 21st Century

compendium a few years ago because we are living in an era of great medical

challenge that sees a large percentage of humanity falling victims to chronic

diseases. We cannot take survival for granted anymore and with the present

financial and economic collapse ready to break the back of modern medicine as

well as modern civilization we cannot afford expensive medical treatments that

are ineffective and dangerous.

Coming Soon!

     Now I am publishing Natural Allopathic Medicine, which explains to

professionals and patients alike the basic principles and practices that are

expressed in many of my other published and soon to be published books on

diabetes and pediatrics. I have been as quickly as possible stepping down the

2,500 pages of Survival Medicine into digestible and more polished finished

forms that addresses the more specific needs of practitioners and patients to

more effectively and safely confront both chronic and acute illness. A great

advantage for all practitioners of my medical approach is that it uses common

substances that are easily purchased without prescription, substances used for

many common purposes so they will not be easily controlled by Codex or anyone

else.

2 Dr. Cannell writes about the Marshall Protocol: It is true that in

some diseases, high doses of vitamin D may be harmful. For example, in the early

part of last century, the AMA specifically excluded pulmonary TB from the list

of TB infections that ultraviolet light helps. They did so because many of the

early pioneers of solariums reported that acutely high doses of sunlight caused

some patients with severe pulmonary TB to bleed to death. Thus, these pioneers

developed very conservative sun exposure regimes for pulmonary TB patients in

which small areas of the skin were progressively exposed to longer and longer

periods of sunlight. Using this method, sunlight helped pulmonary TB, often to

the point of a cure. Furthermore, it is well known that sunlight can cause high

blood calcium in patients with sarcoidosis. In fact, sarcoidosis is one of

several granulomatous diseases with vitamin D hypersensitivity where the body

loses its ability to

regulate activated vitamin D production, causing hypercalcemia.  Cronin CC, et

al. Precipitation of hypercalcaemia in sarcoidosis by foreign sun holidays:

report of four cases. Postgrad Med J. 1990 Apr;66(774):307–9.

Furthermore, although medical science is not yet convinced, some common

autoimmune diseases may have an infectious etiology. I recently spoke at length

with a rheumatologist who suffers from swollen and painful joints whenever he

sunbathes or takes high doses of vitamin D. As long as he limits his vitamin D

input his joints are better. To the extent vitamin D upregulates naturally

occurring antibiotics of innate immunity, sunlight or vitamin D supplements may

cause the battlefield (the joints) to become hot spots. I know of no evidence

this is the case but it is certainly possible.

However, if Dr. Marshall's principal hypothesis is correct, that low vitamin D

levels are the result of disease, then he is saying that cancer causes low

vitamin D levels, not the other way around. The problem is that Professor Joanne

Lappe directly disproved that theory in a randomized controlled trial when she

found that baseline vitamin D levels were strong and independent predictors of

who would get cancer in the future. The lower your levels, the higher the risk.

Furthermore, increasing baseline levels from 31 to 38 ng/ml reduced incident

cancers by more than 60% over a four year period. Therefore, advising patients

to become vitamin D deficient, as the Marshall protocol clearly does, will cause

some patients to die from cancer.  Lappe JM, Travers-Gustafson D, Davies KM,

Recker RR, Heaney RP. Vitamin D and calcium supplementation reduces cancer risk:

results of a randomized trial. Am J Clin Nutr. 2007 Jun;85(6):1586–91.

6 Bioactive vitamin D or calcitriol is a steroid hormone that has long been

known for its important role in regulating body levels of calcium and

phosphorus, and in mineralization of bone. More recently, it has become clear

that receptors for vitamin D are present in a wide variety of cells, and that

this hormone has biologic effects which extend far beyond control of mineral

metabolism.
