By the way, hows the papaya experiment going? Your great andhighly risky experiment gave me a lot to wonder about...
As for writing another book on this subject -- many others have written far better books than I could ever write. Silent Spring by Rachel Carson(1962) was the first definitive book about our food supply and it's still a wonderful classic. Have you read it?

Re: The New Bill Thompson Coming Attraction...
I LIKE the proposed title. You ask if it's is too extreme...but to get folks' attention doesn't one have to use hyperbole? "How Not to Think Like A Doctor"...yes. Or; "Prescription for Disaster...What Your Doctor Gives You Can Make You Sick" ... or; "America...Induced Illness"...?
What I like about your writing is that it is so precise and to the point. So I'll definitely be a repeat reader.

I think your book title ideas are great!
One of the first books I read that gave me some confidence in considering alternative options was, "How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor, " By Robert Mendelsohn. He also wrote, "Confessions of a Medical Heretic, " and I believe the other title was, "Male Practice: How Doctor's Manipulate Women." Mendelsohn was a pediatrician, and an "insider" in the medical community, and that was many years ago.
Keep up the great work, guys!

Broad Benefits
I come across the symptom of omega-3 deficiency at web two weeks ago. The symptoms of omega-3 deficiency are acne, dandruff, dry eyes, ADD, depression, joint pain, chicken skin on the back of arms, etc., which match the symptoms my son has. So I decided to give my son fish oil just for the heck of it, and it does help my son's concentration and depression issue. Since it only has been two week, it may not show significant improvement, but it does make some difference. My son does not eat dairy products, and it helps, but not completely. Maybe omega-3 is the missing piece of the puzzle. I will keep everybody posted.

Immediately My Mother and I felt something wonderful. I did hear something about using flaxseed oil to treat Depression, and I have to say guys, it's real.
She said her mind felt very clear, and she just felt a lot better, and I had a distinct feeling of increased energy. Even my eyesight seemed clearer, my mind felt clearer, it was amazing. I felt strangely happy. I felt so good, I felt a charge. I felt like the blood was pumping in my veins, and I set out to clean the whole house! I also played with my daughter, and I'm usually feeling so tired and sort of depressed at the end of the day, I usually don't have the energy. Some of the oil got on my hands, and it left a really nice pleasant scent to it. This oil is great!!.. and I see what all the fuss is about. You cannot taste it at all in shakes, it's awesome. It's the most powerful oil I've used so far. I feel a distinct difference when taking it. It's like the depression is gone.

Re: Bill's "Oils" Post...
Wonderful article. I'd taken lots of Omega 6 over the years and became convinced like you that there were problems there. Your historical account is so very illuminating. Thank you for your considerable research and time in composing your...not just a Post...an article. How about you write another book on this subject. "The Omega Myth; Exposed" or something like that. Sounds like a mystery novel and it is in a way. The truth is as you laid it out, the special interests propelled a flawed study to dupe the public and our medical community into telling us something that was just not true. And millions have died as a result.

As for my Papaya experiment...a problem...
well actually an "Intervention" took place that has slowed down my experiments. I'll explain fully to anyone who wishes to hear the traumas of how "science" can be waylaid by well meaning "family and friends"...quite embarrassing. I had just completed my formula for "Wasabi- Papaya Ice Cream" ... a real culinary breakthrough and one evening my Cousin Bob (self proclaimed head of the family) dropped by with Bubba, my auto mechanic.
"We've come by to talk to you about this Papaya nonsense, " pronounced Bob.
"Well have a seat, Bob...Bubba. What's this about?"
"This...this is an Intervention...like obsessive people have happen to them and you, Dave need to be rescued. Just look at you. You've gained 30 pounds since you started this Papaya nonsense. And "Wasabi-Papaya Ice Cream"...Ha! All this Papaya stuff is just an excuse to gorge yourself with anything and pop Papaya on the end and that justifies your excess. And you have the temerity to call this Science! "
Well, I look at my wife, hoping for some support. She stares back at me with a slight smile on her face.
"No way have I gained 30 pounds; maybe 5 or 6..." My ever supportive wife clears her throat..."Ok, " I continue, "Maybe 10 or 15 but not..."
"So..." Bob interrupted, "We've gathered all your friends and family to intervene...to stop your charade ... this .....this sham."
"What...all my friends? It's just you and Bubba."
"That's what I said, all your friends. We're all here ... here for you."
Well, Bill. I won't go any further into that painful experience. To endure the slings and arrows of men...you know. Or maybe you don't. Just be careful working with "Papaya" because it apparently inflames the passions of jealous minded people. But a real set back for Science. I'm not defeated. No. Just down for the moment.
Thanks for thinking to ask.

Just to mention that I'm also growing Paw-Paw in my garden too. We planted ten Paw-Paws(Graviola) from seed in our wee garden about three months ago. They're only about one foot high and quite cute but its hot season right now with little water. Hopefully they will happily start reaching up to the sky come wet season. These will eventually bloom into small trees. Their fruit is the size of a football and one of my all-time favourites because it has such a unique and refreshing flavour. Difficult to make the fruit drink because you have to physically squeeze, pop and pick out the many large dark seeds from all the bulky white flesh -- kinda messy. But I'm just as interested in the Paw-Paw leaves -- contains acetogenins and other beneficial chemicals -- which are a cancer cure and I'm sure you know all about that.
I also have a humble favour to ask. Can you please describe how you render and use your Paw-Paw leaf? What do you use it for? I'm always on the look-out for useful herbal remedies and I'm sure most people here on EC would be interested in that remedy too.

So this one's for you Dave.
I just thought that I'ld show this video. It's not particularly complicated or technical, it's just a historically accurate evidence-based record of why there is such an epidemic of autoimmune diseases today -- providing cogent reasons, for instance, why cancer is far more of a generational epidemic today than in the time of your grandparents. And the real reasons for this are quite shocking.
Remember those polio vaccine sugar cubes in the 1950s and 1960s ?
Have you ever heard of the SV-40 virus?
Remember SIV (Simian Immuno-deficiency virus) ?
Remember HIV ?
The video is all about viruses, autoimmune disease and vaccines.
But its really much worse than that. Please watch the video...
Which are Best to Take?
I watched the link video.
And the "bonus video" at the end was amazing.
Well, apart from the conspiratorial aspect Dr Tent inserts (which I thought was confusing)...the theory; a viral link to the explosion of cancer ... is impressive.
The usage of anti-virals becomes a top priority. And PREVENTION before cancer is essential. I'm now taking Colloidal Silver three times daily apart from meals and other vitamins/minerals.
I did notice from one of your (always) informative posts, that taken on an empty stomach the anti candida supplement would deliver it to the blood stream but would not get the substance to the intestines. So would you recommend that the CS be taken both with occasional meals AND on an empty stomach? I've been recommending the CS apart from taking other supplements because mineral supplementation would compete for receptor sites with the CS. Do you have an opinion on that competition issue?
Which are Best to Take?
I had the polio vaccine as a young lad in the early 60s. So I've had all those animal viruses from the monkey kidneys already put into my body at a young age -- and, unfortunately, they are still there in my body all these years later just waiting to be triggered.
I think that what was, perhaps, the most important part of his talk was at the end where he described many of his patient's problems and symptoms. I noticed that every single one of his patients had some combination of just EBV, HHV(6 strains), CMV or Parvo virus. These are all effectively the animal viruses that were introduced into our bodies via the polio vaccine we all had 50 or so years ago. And they are all still inside us right now, hiding, waiting to be triggered to give us some horrific autoimmune disease like cancer.
So our generation has a ticking health bomb inside them and as Dr Kent admitted -- people over 50 or 60 y o are all screwed. These viruses are all inside my generation -- who all had the 'dirty' polio vaccine.
Regarding CS competing with other mineral pathways -- just taking your minerals in organic or amino chelate forms would avoid that problem.
If you took all your minerals in their inorganic form(eg as Magnesium Chloride) then they would perhaps compete with CS. But, say, if you took the chelated or organic forms eg magnesium citrate or mag gluconate then these forms should all be absorbed via different organic or amino pathways without competitive problems.
Also it really depends where you want the CS to act in the body and this will depend how you supplement it. If you take CS on an empty stomach it will likely be rapidly absorbed into the blood from the stomach. Useful if you want to rapidly kill blood born pathogens. But if you take it with food then more CS will get carried into the intestines with the food -- which would seem more useful, therefore, to kill bad bacteria and candida in the intestines itself.

So now I take lots of fish oil, DMSO, turp., borax and some other things.
Dave, I have kidney stones too, would the AEP calcium be ok? I never knew about AEP before and I see there is even a magnesium.
And if the RA wasn't enough, I have interstitial cystitis too, which I think fungus has gotten into the bladder and causes it.
To all the Germans, I love the people and country. If I could walk I'd go back in a second. Please don't think I blame Germany.

Re: All your symptoms and RA and kidney stones etc.
All your mono and shots from my perspective (high likelihood) were the set up for your auto immune condition...there is an underlying cause...Virus in your system weakening the immune system. Or worse; virus Causing/or triggering the condition. That's my theory. And after watching the Dr. Tent link...like you find his view at least corresponds and reinforces my thesis. So what I do is load up with an anti-virus substance. I drink Colloidal Silver three times daily. (I had taken the CS only four or five times a week.) I started doing that much only in the past two months after a live cell microscopy revealed a higher than normal level of fungi shown in my blood. But if the four or five times a week was not enough to kill fungi, then it was also likely not to be enough to kill viruses.
Next, does the AEP help with kidney stones? I don't think so. I use six lemons daily, one half in a glass of water, and drink...twelve glasses daily for two weeks to knock out stones. Works for me great. Make sure to use a straw; the lemon will impact tooth enamel.

Re Calcium AEP,
There are other forms of AEP...Magnesium AEP being one that should take away concerns that the Calcium form may add to the stone issue. I've had 4 stones in the past eight years. I take Cal AEP every day and see no correlation. But every person's body may differ on this subject. Consider taking the Mag form.
And you ask if Live Cell Microscopy can differentiate between a virus and a fungus. I believe so, as my questions to my LCM expert discussed that very thing as we looked at my blood. The virus is much smaller, and I don't think he was seeing actual viruses but I'll re ask the question. Certainly what could be seen were the fungi themselves.
Which are Best to Take?
From the research, there are certain traits and behaviours that pathogens have that are adaptive, self-protective mechanisms against the host organism. These adaptations are superb defense mechanisms for survival of the pathogen which I shall describe a bit later.
This is the situation with modern medicine and this his the strategy they use to invent their drugs: They currently still believe in the old Pasteurian concept of The Germ Theory. This translates to One Germ-->One Disease-->One Cure.
Therefore, the actual strategy of the FDA and drugs companies for immune disease drug formulation better translates to One Drug-->One Disease-->One Cure. Why? Because, according to the rules of the FDA, you must prove the efficacy and safety of only one drug against one disease. You cannot, say, use a single herb for this testing because you are not allowed to research more than one single chemical -- and there are just too many chemicals in a herb to make it economically viable. And how do you standardize the chemicals in a herb to prevent variance of dose? And you cannot patent herbs or patent any chemicas that occur naturally in nature.
But this drugs strategy description quite obviously does not work or consistently cure either idiopathic or autoimmune diseases like cancer, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease etc according to the independent research because these sorts of diseases usually always involve more than one pathogen species(eg viruses, fungus and bacteria are different pathogen species).
Wrt these autoimmune and idiopathic diseases, the real truth of the matter is that you will have to apply this strategy for a cure: Autoimmune Disease -->Multi-Infection from different pathogen species -->Multi-Protocols-->Cure.
So can anyone see how dire and hopeless the current drug strategy approach is for making drugs for curing autoimmune and idiopathic disease?
The main treatment approach used by the drugs companies is therefore usually completely palliative -- just treat the symptoms. And they deliberately design drugs like this because it generates far more profit if a patient(consumer?) takes these non-cure pills for the rest of their life. We also completely believe these doctors and drugs companies because, due to their superb propaganda advertising machine, most of us regard them as the honest(????) experts (sic).
So when you see for yourself, through independent research(not drugs company research), that that these autoimmune diseases do indeed regularly involve multi-pathogens that modern medicine deliberately ignores or simply cannot admit to or cope with, you inevitably come to the view that the drugs strategy and drugs-making approach itself are so hopelessly steered(for profit), inadequate and all wrong. That's why the word 'cure' doesn't come into the equation particularly for autoimmune or idiopathic disease drugs treatment or outcomes.
Now back to the adaptive mechanisms of pathogens for some more horror. Pleomorphism is well known in research. There several different types of pleomorphism(all proven through research).
First, an organism that can change form and function within its species. Candida is an example of this behaviour. Due to phenotypic switching, candida can change itself from being a yeast(saprophyte -- eats dead organic matter) to a true fungal parasite(feeds directly off the host). So when you have candida -- you may well have to defeat the candida both locally(yeast form) ie intestines, uterus, skin etc as well as defeat candida in the blood, tissues and organs as the fungal or systemic form.
Now to inter-species pathogen switching -- switching from being a bacteria to a virus to a fungus and back again, which is another form of pleomorphism.
Then we have the mycoplasma (tiny CWD bacteria), H Pylori(bacteria), Hepatitis B and all those other dangerous viruses(HPV, HHV, EBV, CMV, Parvo virus) which all tend to cause various forms of autoimmune disease as well as cancer.
Mycoplasma, as well as other forms of bacteria and plasmodium are also usually always involved in arthritis for instance. In these different forms of autoimmune disease it would therefore appear to me that pleomorphism plays a huge part too.
Thus I would say that viruses are certainly a good part of the autoimmune story but pleomorphism is another recognized part -- which continues to be completely unrecognized and even ignored by the drugs companies and the FDA -- despite all the research evidence(that I've seen) which supports both phenotypic switchng within a species and inter-species pleomorphism that occurs in autoimmune disease today.
Consequently, that is why both modern medicine and the drugs companies have no adequate strategy solution or drug treatment that can actually consistently cure any autoimmune disease today.

Omega 3 and Hypomania
I just noticed one more thing that all of these foods have omega 3. I did read online a few reports of omega 3 inducing hypomanic states. If adult's thyroid is fine, is it possible the liver is having trouble breaking down the omega 3? Could this be an allergy? Is there anything to fix the liver or allergy? She doesn't have this issue when she eats egg or fish products in general only when I give her these things singled out as a supplement and in a modest dose. Thanks.
Hemp Oil
Hemp Oil
Your question is worded too coyly and ambiguously!
I'm guessing that since you mention a documentary, that you are referring not to the oil from the crushed hemp seed, which is available in stores everywhere, but to the "homemade" hemp oil?
The Health Ranger covered this story very well in late 2009 as it unfolded here in Canada in the NS Provincial Supreme Court:
http://www.naturalnews.com/027756_cancer_cure_Big_Pharma.html
Soon after he began, Rick was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma. After one of the three cancers was removed surgically, it came back. So he decided to try the THC laden hemp oil topically. Within days, all three skin cancers were completely healed. Rick deduced that THC hemp oil cured cancer, but smoking marijuana would not.
A check of Zapom. com, the master Search site for videos of all kinds brings up endless clips of everything from the trial in the TV news, to Rick Simpson's documentary "Run From The Cure":
Perhaps someone from the more free, open-minded states like Portugal or Holland will answer you here to explain what is and is not allowed and available.
Those are the prime candidates for countries where Rick Simpson is rumored to have fled.

Omega 3 Book Reviews
I bought this book with a lot of expectations as I want to know more about the balance between Omega 3 and Omega 6 as it seems quite important for one's wellbeing but I was quite disappointed. I won't say that it hasn't some interesting facts but in the whole I found it quite boring and giving advice I don't think is wise, like telling you that saturated fats are bad, he also advises Canola oil but according to what I have been reading this oil seems not to be healthy at all, as well as corn, safflower and soybean oil.
He is also very much on lowering cholesterol and bad and good cholesterol while all cholesterol seems to be very important for the human body. He does mention that in normal amounts cholesterol is important but what are normal amounts? Isn't what is considered normal nowadays set by the Pharmaceutical Industry in order to make money?
As far as whether fish oils are good for the health or not I don't know, some experts say that they are very important, others say that you shouldn't even touch them.... all very confusing. He also let's himself be guided by the Food Guide Pyramid which doesn't seem the best thing as far as nutrition goes. But well, this book is from 2001, that is maybe the problem!
Shopping for wild fish is indeed a great advice but here in Europe we can't buy many kinds of wild fish anymore. No salmon for example, only farmed.
He also advises soy products which we now know can harm at least those who rely heavily on them, especially unfermented soy products.
I also found it funny that although the author knew of cases treated successfully with EFA's he seems only to accept the evidence of that after being tested scientifically. In my opinion you can't test everything scientifically so in cases you know that there is no harm and other people had good results why not try and add your positive or negative experience to the existing ones? You can't always be waiting for millions to be available, many years of studies and many people? Anyway, it seems that at least in 2001 the jury was not yet out on whether EFA's are good for the health or not and what they could treat so most of the studies he talks about have no practical value!
I have a lot more question marks regarding this book but let me just say that I will look for some other way to get the information I need and I won't buy a health book which is 9 years old again!
