Find out how NATO uses depleted uranium to replace lead in munitions.  A uranium bullet is 1.7 times as heavy as lead.  10% of uranium rounds can burn up in the air creating uranium oxide aerosols which threaten military and civilian personnel.  Anti-tank uranium munitions can burn up 70% of their uranium into the atmosphere in a burning enemy tank.  Civilian jet liners contain depleted uranium counterweights which are still radioactive and which can and have burned up during crashes putting crash investigators and local inhabitants at risk. Waste management companies have been mixing radioactive uranium in fertilizers.

How do we rid the body of toxic uranium which becomes stored in the bone and kidneys?  Find out here.
The kidneys produce a bone marrow growth hormone and, of course, the bone contains the bone marrow, which makes blood cells.  Aplastic anemia is usually thought of as an autoimmune disease, but could some or many recent cases be brought on by uranium toxicity due to recent depleted uranium environmental contamination?

"Many people today believe they can dump anything they want into thier bodies and that this garbage has nothing to do with their physical wellbeing. Then then believe when they get sick all they have to do is take some drug and take away that sickness."  -- Dr. George H. Malkmus

Could Benzene in Soft Drinks Be Related to Aplastic Anemia?
Could Chloramphenicol in Cow's Milk be Causing Aplastic Anemia in Humans?
The doctor has proposed to use cyclosporin and ATG (antithymocyte globulin) to treat Marla's aplastic anemia.  Others have suggested high dosage Cytoxan (cyclophoshamide) as researched by Dr. Robert Brodsky of Johns Hopkins Medical.

See immunosupression.

Alternative Health with Raw Foods and Water

What makes any alternative treatment better than another -- consider firstly the fuel we were designed to live on -- raw enzyme rich living food. We make enzymes and all life is dependent upon these substances, but when we eat cooked foods, we must deplete our own enzymatic life source to digest cooked dead foods.  Enzyme rich living raw foods contain substances that digest themselves, especially when proper juicing methods remove cellulose.  Pure enzyme rich vegetable juices require no digestion and rejuvenate the body.  More than 3000 enzymes have been identified and we are just beginning to understand their unparalleled importance in sustaining healing and health.  Heating food above 108 degrees F will kill all enzymes.  That is why high fever kills us.  Freezing food also distress enzymes as well and makes vitamins and minerals unusable and even toxic to the body.  Consider raw and living foods.

"The cultures with the very longest life spans in the world are the Vilcambas, who reside in the Andes of Ecuador, the Abkhasians, who live on the Black Sea in the [former] USSR, and the Hunzas who live in the Himalayas of Northern Pakistan. Researchers discovered a 'striking similarity' in the diets of these groups, scattered though they are in different parts of the planet. All three are either totally vegetarian or close to it.  The Hunzas, who are the largest of the three groups, eat almost no animal products.  Meat and dairy products combined account for only 1 1/2% of their total calories" (Diet for a New America, John Robbins, 1987, p155).

Vegetarianism is a hot topic.  Our American culture has been so entrenched in the cult of meat eating (myself included), that vegetarians have been commonly considered as wackos or misguided zealots or just as people who have taken a health trip too far, etc.  Is eating meat essential?  Does every body need milk?  Will an egg a day keep the doctor at bay?  I should think that an ultimate test of the truth of a diet and its healthfulness can be found from athletes who push the human machine to its limits.  Just as racing car teams are attune to how any little changes in fuel, oil, tires, mechanical parts or adjustments can affect the performance of their car, so athletes must stretch their body to the limit so that even minor changes in their nutrition can give them the leading edge.  Automotive innovations come from the automotive race track; Human dietary innovations can be ultimately put to test in the body of an athlete.  If the meat based diet were superior to the vegetarian diet then surely no serious athlete would ever be able to compete as a vegetarian, would he or she?

What makes westerners seek treatment for their diseases away from the usual means?  Could it be that the track record of conventional American medicine for many degenerative and autoimmune diseases such as cancer is not encouraging?  Marla has received treatment for her eczema through conventional means since she was a child.  Her antigen injections seemed to be noneffective after a while.  She became dependent on steroid creams.  We saw conventional treatment to be like putting a small bandage on a gaping wound.  I did not think much of Traditional Chinese Medicine since I heard stories on the news warning of foreign medicinal herbs being sold in local ethnic shops which contain potentially harmful and damaging natural chemicals.

Years ago I had curiously browsed through Chinese herbal shops in Los Angeles's China Town musing at the great variety of the unusual contents of large glass jars.  Since then I have collected books on western herbal remedies and have become aware that pharmaceuticals are toxic to the body and  poison, kill, create new diseases and often don't even work as intended. The concern arose while reading about others with aplastic anemia that Marla could become dependent on one drug after another just as she had become dependent on steroid creams, which she has intentionally not used since her aplastic anemia illness started for fear that they could have caused or contributed to her illness.  Therefore we were determined to find other ways to treat Marla's aplastic anemia.

Searching on the internet with AltaVista, I found that China has the highest rate of aplastic anemia in the world.  I then searched with the keywords +aplastic +chinese +herb* and eventually found www.chinabloodinst.com.  I emailed the Chinese Blood Institute and received a quick response.  Dr. Wei-Hei Wu has treated 1000 patients with Marla's condition.  Marla would be the first in the United States with aplastic anemia to be treated by Dr. Wu.  The allure of Traditional Chinese Medicine to Marla is in the claim that their are no side effects.  We jumped at the chance to use Dr. Wu's treatment.  We had already chosen to use vegan diet and intensive raw juice therapy.  Dr. Wu's treatment has worked successfully on people who have not significantly changed their diets. We were aware that a great many people have been cured from many degenerative diseases through diet related programs alone, but there were so few cases of people treated with such means for aplastic anemia that we continued to search for herbal medicine.  Marla started on the herbal teas and capsules on November 4, 1999.  See case history.

Learn About Drug Contraindications, etc.
Consumer advocate, Ralph Nader, found that medical periodicals admit that perhaps as many 300,000 patients die each year as a result of being given pharmaceuticals.  This may mean that if you enter the hospital for treatment, you have a one in three chance of dying there. Those odds seem high to me, but the message is to keep informed and aware.  I am not advising anyone to stop taking their medicine -- that is up to you and your doctor, but I do read the Physicians' Desk Reference.  From the PDR I have learned that even Tylenol causes thromocytopenia (lowered platelets).  Tylenol or acetaminophen is routinely given to transfusion patients to reduce body temperature which can rise as a result of the body's reaction to the foreign proteins.  Marla is now refusing acetaminophen.  Marla has also been given heparin in her picc line to keep the implanted IV line valve from clotting.  Heparin causes thrombocytopenia.  We are now using picc valves that do not require Heparin. Marla was on a broad spectrum antibiotic, Cipro, which causes thromocytopenia.  We have discontinued Cipro and substituted Olive Leaf Extract.  When different drugs are taken together that have the same side effect, that side effect can easily become more pronounced, especially when a person is already suffering from the effect from a disease, such as is the case with Marla's super severe aplastic anemia.  Be aware!

How does vitamin B-17 work to treat cancer?  According to Lorraine Day, M.D., in her video Cancer Doesn't Scare Me Anymore, Ralph Moss was released from his job as the head of a leading cancer research institute because he refused to cover up the truth about vitamin B-17 -- it did destroy cancer in laboratory animals.

Our Modern Chemically Laden World Causes More Disease

"There are over 70,000 chemicals commercially produced in the United States today. many of which were developed after World War II. The long-term, low dose effects of many of these chemicals have never been investigated. In fact, the term 'low dose' is misleading, implying low concentrations are harmless. But many chemicals are harmful in very low doses, like the herbicide 2,4, 5-T which is harmful in parts-per-trillion. Unless generated by the body (formaldehyde, pentane), the body’s level for chemicals should be non-detectable, and not 'low level.'"  See full article here.

Learn about some dangers of consuming beef products right from the horse's mouth.
"Howard F. Lyman has brought the issue of the dangers of eating beef to light like never before. A former cattle rancher-turned-vegetarian and food safety activist, in 1996, Lyman  revealed, to a national television audience, how the cattle industry potentially exposed Americans to Mad Cow Disease by feeding cows the remains of live animals - including other cows. As a result of his remarks, Lyman was named a co-defendant with Oprah Winfrey in the "veggie libel" case brought by Texas ranchers in Amarillo this past year." Learn more here.

How do we deal with the threat of infection as a result of neutropenia (low white blood count)?  Broad spectrum antibiotics can kill bacteria but can lead to yeast infection (candida).  How can natural antibiotics be used most effectively to replace pharmaceutical antibiotics?   Natural antibiotics include garlic (thins the blood--not advised for beeding disorders), grapefruit seed extract, olive leaf extract, colostrum, lacto and bifidum probiotic bacterium, cat's claw, goldenseal, etc.
