…The Real History of Medicine.

Title for this show: New Media for the New Medicine

New Media Expo:
Anyone interested in the new media - the recent portable, digital, networked information and communication technologies, like podcasting, videocasting, online streaming and blogging - should consider attending the New Media Expo next year.

New Media Means More Good Medicines:
Never before in the history of medicine have we been able to report on medical news and information without boundaries, restrictions or controls. With podcasting there are literally infinite numbers of potential ‘channels and stations’ through which medical truths can be promulgated inexpensively to a global audience. A product we discuss on this show is Cholestin produced by the company Pharmanex (we’d love to have them as a sponsor someday). Cholestin is a safe, inexpensive alternative to the statin drugs, like Lipitor, but it’s a natural ‘red yeast rice’ ferment product which is not patentable and therefore will never likely garner enough profit for Pharmanex, to compete with statin drug advertisements in the ‘old media’ - TV, terrestrial radio and print publications most widely read by doctors. What may be even worse for Cholestin is that the pharmaceutical industry’s front agency, the FDA, is actually trying to label red yeast rice products as drugs, so that the products can be FDA-controlled and more likely to be restricted from competing with the statin drugs. Despite those threats, here’s good news for good medicine: with this new media production, TGM, we are able to get the word out about Cholestin - and about a lot of other good medicines - to a global audience!

New Media Moves Maverick Therapies Into Mainstream - Including Cancer Cures:
If there were a simple, safe, evidence-based cure for cancer do you think it would make the mainstream (’old’) media news today? There is such a cure. No mainstream media outlets are talking about it, but we’re talking about it here on the TGM podcast/webcast. The therapy is an immune system-based approach that mirrors the clear biological model of pregnancy and the onset of labor: the cancer patient rejects, expels the cancer tumor using a biological process similar to the way the mother ultimately rejects, expels the fetus from the womb during delivery. It’s a really powerful and well-documented cancer therapy that’s been around for over 20 years: a simple blood filtration technique developed by oncologist Dr. Rigdon Lentz to remove serum blocking factors produced by the cancer. With this approach to treating cancer the patient is not receiving any systemically toxic drugs or being zapped with high-intensity nuclear radiation, or any radiation for that matter. Instead, the procedure simply filters out factors in the patient’s blood which are blocking, preventing, the immune system from doing its job of attacking and devouring the cancer. Our immune system knows when we have cancer. That’s why during pathology in medical school every single slide of cancer we studied was infiltrated with white blood cells (especially lymphocytes), and that’s why some people have so-called ‘spontaneous remissions’ of their cancer. But in so many cases of cancer, the immune system is blocked by the blocking factors produced by the cancer, so the immune system cells can’t  aggressively and thoroughly attack and kill the cancer. Remove the blocking factors from the blood and you remove the ‘force field’ blocking the immune system attack on the cancer. Dramatic tumor ‘necrolysis’ results. We’ll cover the ‘Lentz Therapy’ in  detail during our upcoming Answers to Cancers installments. The point with this for today’s show is that thanks to the new media we’re able to get the word out about this historically important news, this cure for cancer!

Next week: Our first installment of Amazing Aging. What is aging? Is there really such a thing as ‘anti-aging’ medicine? What can you do to fight the ravages of aging in order to live as healthfully as possible for as long as possible?

Good Medicine Word of the Week: New Media (for the advancement of good medicine). And we’re thankful to have the freedom to use the new media to share insights, knowlege and understanding about good medicine here on That’s Good Medicine!
