Dr. Gonzalez talked about his treatment, but spent hours explaining the history of how Dr. Kelly determined his cancer treatment protocol which Dr. Gonzales followed. Last time I talked about Dr. John Beard and his trophoblastic theory of cancer and pancreatic enzymes. Part II Dr. Beard dies in obscurity and nothing is done about this find until Pottinger comes along from Columbia in the mid Thirties Dr. Frances Pottinger studied degenerative diseases and nutrition, but he was a pulmonary disease specialist. He did a famous study called Pottinger's cats. Pottinger's cats compared in a 10-15 year study cats who were fed raw meat and raw milk that were healthy to cats fed cooked food. By the 3rd and 4th generation, the health of the second group of cats was really compromised. They had arthritis eye problems and couldn't reproduce by the 4th and 5th generation. Dr. Gonzalez talks a mile and minute, and we sat way up front because of stacy's hearing thing. Anyway, he slipped in this quote and I caught it, and I don't think many did. He said: "Underground alternative groups keep the world alive" I thought that was cool! Back to Pottinger... He wrote in 1944 a paper called "Autonomic Physiology" He was very interested in how the automatic or autonomic nervous system consisting of both sympathetic and parasympathetic branches control metabolism. A little back ground here from my stress management days. The Sympathetic flight/fight system becomes activated in the stress response, and the parasympathetic system calms us down when it is over. This is why if we have a stressful day, we are tired the next. A stressful week leads to fatigue for a while. I'm feeling it this week from last week. It was well known that the autonomic nervous system controls digestion--on second thought maybe it wasn't. I think Hans Selye was just beginning his work too. Anyway, the sympathetic nervous system does this to digestion: It shuts down the GI tract, liver doesn't function well, inhibits pancreas thyroid, and adrenals. This is why God in his wisdom shut the GI tract down in labor and women are not allowed to eat. This is why if you are under a lot of stress, you should eat light. This is why I hated to give speeches after meals. Your food is just sitting there. The parasympathetic nervous system increases digestion, saliva increases, liver function increases and absorption etc. I think that Pottinger determined this but my notes don't state that directly. Some people are born with a sympathetic dominant system with weak digestion, strong muscles etc. and inefficient livers pancreas and GI tracts. Sympathetic dominants also have weak thyroids, adrenals and ovaries Some people are born with strong para sympathetic systems with great digestion, liver highly developed, pancreas and intestinal tract working really well Then there are people who are born balanced Sympathetic dominat Disease Patterns: Chronic digestion problems, Indigestion, fast and rapid thinking, and a predisposition of solid tumors. I specifically asked Dr. G about this. He said that solid tumors are almost always sympathetic dominants. I know I am and always have been. I don't have digestion problems, but I have always been the worry type--lots of anxiety etc. Parasympathetic Dominant Disease Patterns Rarely have digestive problems--they have allergies hay fever, sinus, viral infections, muscular dystrophy, MLS ALS, and leukemia, lymphoma and melanomas. I know several people with lymphoma at the moment. They fit this perfectly. laid back you wouldn't believe. Especially my friend Linda. The sky is falling and she is calm. Another thing is what Dr. Speckhart found about Linda. All of her systems were great--strong--the only thing was this follicular lymphoma ---Amazing. In my case, functional tests always determine spleen and expecially pancreas weakness. Dr. Gonzalez did not mention this to the group this year. However, I asked him questions last year. He said to me and I quote. "people with solid tumors cannot meditate enough" People with lymphomas etc. need stimulation like watching horror pictures." I am going to skip around a little bit with my notes because he talks about what supplementation for each groups, but early in the afternoon he talked about psychological effects of the dominant symptoms Sympathetic Dominant features Psychological Energetic edgy people. Short fuses--irritable--sleep lightly--broken sleep--short fuses but get over anger quickly DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF ANYONE WE KNOW LIKE MOST OF US? Parasympathetic Dominant people are unperterbed--prone to depression--sleep a lot--Then he said you can shift psychological states with nutrients--boy did I perk up here He said the reason that this can be done has to do with growth factors--Trophoblastic substances--effects of motor neurons on muscles--exercise--neurotransmitters--nerve growth factor--cholinergic differentiation factor--which affects the para sympathetic/sympathetic system. Don't ask me to explain this--it was sketchy in my notes. He's going a mile a minute by this time. Remember This is straight from the lecture from Dr. G I am not recommending anything to anybody. This is also going to blow your mind to some extent Nutrients that stimulate sympathetic system---calcium--Too much calcium becomes calcified in dead tissue My note--could this be the calcium deposits which seem to signal breast cancer? The big picture is growing. He said that magnesium and potassium blocks sympathetic messages. That Magnesium perfectly blocks that Something???? and post ganglion junction. In other words magnesium and potassium is good for us which we know--the green juices and vegetables etc. He also said that B vitamins block sympathetic activity. Part Three will be how Dr. Kelley put this all together. Respectfully submitted Marilyn H. Lloyd Source: Prevention Magazine, 2006 Remember we are NOT Doctors and have NO medical training.
