Bihari's Interview-I got it

[Guest guest]

This is summarized from an interview Dr. Bihari gave on WBAI Sept.23,2003 Global Medicine show with Dr. Kamau B. Kokayi.

It begins with Dr. Kokayi, the host, talking about breast cancer. How he researched alternatives for his patients 10 years ago. He believes everyone should detoxify, eat non-pesticide foods, and not stress. All cancers have greatly increased since the 70's. Chemo is not succesful.

He then begins to introduce Dr. Bihari and lists his credentials...Cornell, Harvard Medical,Served as Chief Drug Addiction for N.Y. State, Ass. Proffesor. and so on.,...

Dr. K asked him to tell how LDN started.

Reply from Dr. B- In 1984 I was treating drug addicts in Bed-Stuy Alcohol Treatment Center

(where he was chief and Dr. K worked under him)

Naltrexone was designed to block heroin but was a flop.50% taking said they felt terrible and sickly. What it was doing was blocking total endorphins causing the sick feeling. "I knew it had the ability to make endorphins , but at 50mg it blocked too long. In 6 months addicts were dying of Aids and we began looking for some way to approach this new disease. The idea was that it would turn into a world wide epidemic." HIV patients have less than 20% endorphins. If we could raise this without blocking. We hired a lab to test endorphine levels. 1.75-4.5mg would jump start endorphine production which is made between 2AM-4AM given 3-4 hrs before.

Had a placebo trial 1 year. People with HIV had 8%death rate with LDN and Placebo had 33% +other infections.

Dr. K "Why hasn't this therapy gotten more publicity?

Dr. B In 1987 I had a conference and about 40-50 Doctors on the East & West coast started using LDN . (AZT was making patients sicker)

****THe way a drug is measured for effectiveness is if CD4 cells were rising. They were not on LDN. They do not rise ,but they stop dropping, so the disease stays were it is.

We wrote a paper & could not get it published. Noone understood the concept.

Basically , we take a chemical made in a lab and it's used to streghthen the bodies own defense rather than attacking as do antibiotics, chemo etc.

The purpose is to take a weak defense and stregthen so the body can ffight.

Oncologist are getting frustrated with failure of chemo. They are now looking for non-toxic ways to modify behavior of cancer.

Dr. K ....asked about dose

Dr.B.... The initial small dose (in trial) at bed time increases endorphins to normal by next day. If sombody has a disease related to low endorphins should take every night.

The interview ended after acouple of thoughts from the host.

I think the most important fact that I did not know was that the CD4 cells do not rise. I hope this helped somewhat!~ I only listed to it once and tried to take notes. I believe I got the most important facts. Good night!
