New Year New Resolution

Every year, we make a resolution or two. Sometimes we accomplish them with great success, other times we miss the mark. This year, make your resolution stick by implementing a plan of action!

What's Your Resolution?

5 Tips for maintaining better health:

1 – Assess the situation.
We are what we eat, so…what are you eating? The market is saturated with products that are filled with things we should avoid (sugar, high fructose corn syrup and other byproducts). As a consumer, make sure to read labels, understand their meanings, and choose products that promote healthy choices. (more…)

Just when “Recipe for Health” is getting more press coverage, a recent study by Harvard School of Public Health has confirmed the link between mental health and anti-oxidant rich diet. The study consisted of an analysis of the concentration of nine different antioxidants in the blood of 1,000 participants aged between 25 and 74 years old. The participants of this research were also asked to complete a questionnaire to evaluate their degree of psychological optimism. This information was taken from this week’s British journal MailOnline.

BPA Controversy

Bisphenol A (BPA), a known hormone disruptor, is a hard chemical to avoid: it is one of the highest-volume chemicals produced worldwide. It is detected in body fluids of more than 90% of the human population, and it is the cause of various health concerns, with many scientists associating exposure to BPA with potential developmental effects on various hormone-responsive organs.

All these products are made with BPA

BPA is produced in large quantities and used to make a hard, clear plastic known as polycarbonate, which is used in many consumer products, including reusable water bottles and infant bottles. BPA is also found in epoxy resins used as lacquers to coat metal products such as canned foods (including baby formula), bottle tops, and water supply pipes. Some dental sealants and composites may also contribute to BPA exposure. Compact discs, impact-resistant safety equipment, medical devices, and thermal paper are also sources of contamination. According to the NIH, the primary source of exposure to BPA for most individuals is through their diet, as the chemical can leach into food from the protective internal epoxy resin coatings of cans in addition to other everyday consumer products like plastic tableware, food storage containers, water bottles, and baby bottles baby. The degree to which BPA leaches from polycarbonate bottles into liquid may depend more on the temperature of the liquid or bottle, than the age of the container.

Monique Beljanski

My mother, Monique Beljanski, is a scientist who has written many publications and books. She also speaks at various conferences and since she never stops, she often comments on the current news. Today I offered her the opportunity to do so on my blog.

“This past January 26^th, TV5 Monde showed a very interesting program on the disappearance of the bees, something that is very worrisome because it threatens the pollination of plants and fruit trees.

It’s a global phenomenon that has been known for a long time but whose causes are not yet clear.

The conclusions of the experts that were interviewed were very interesting to me and should be to you as well.

The link in between the death of the bees and the marketing of all kinds of chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, anti-parasites etc …) has made the fortune of the chemical industries and the misfortune of the beekeepers.

During the program, Bayer was blamed for its substances which cause disruptions to the neurological system of the bees. Of course the agencies that are responsible for the inspection and approval of these products (the same ones that can be found in drugs and GMOs) have largely minimized the toxic effect of these substances whose use is only prohibited when there are high-doses of exposure.  However, as specified by the scientists interviewed in the program, it was observed that the negative action of these products, which is progressive and cumulative, occurs directly on DNA. When two or three substances that disrupt the neurological system are present in very low concentrations there can be strong negative synergy.

The accumulation of these substances in the DNA leads it to change shape allowing DNA synthesis to escape normal regulation, leading to sometimes life-threatening diseases. Synergies are often observed in biology. Sometimes they are positive (as it is in the case of chemotherapy in the presence of Beljanski plant extracts (7,8,9,10), and sometimes they are negative when the accumulation of toxic substances creates an abnormal amplification of their effects.

The hormones and the hormone precursors already have a clearly established effect on the destabilization of DNA. This is exactly what we observe in the field of carcinogenesis: low doses of pollutants, carcinogens, and other substances each have a relatively low impact on the destabilization of the DNA (genome), but their effects are cumulative as demonstrated by Mirko Beljanski (1) (2) (3) and DCMalins (5) (6). 

The destabilization of the DNA is a phenomenon that is not often studied: we prefer to speak about mutations in connection with diseases but destabilization is the primary event in many pathologies and it renders the separated strands of DNA more vulnerable to mutations.  

As for antibiotics or classes of similar substances, it is worth remembering their effects may have consequences far beyond what we expect: disruption of base composition (purine / pyrimidine) RNA (11, 12), drastic changes of the recipient bacterias … (13)

This proves that we absolutely don’t control the consequences of these products that are spreading around the world and it is very hypocritical to pretend you do not know the consequences of the use of these substances. We are far from knowing everything but we could already take into account the information that we have. But as soon as it disrupts financial interests we have tendency to ignore, minimize or even deny the facts.

Bees disappear, fertility declines, immunity too …”

Two days ago I received an interesting question from a blog reader that I would like to share with you. In reference to The Beljanski® Products, she asked: “How many capsules per day would you recommend and how long should I take them as an annual cancer prevention treatment?”

I can’t give any medical advice and I do not offer any prescriptions. I can only give general scientific-based information that cannot substitute for a professional consultation, but I invite you to read Doctor Marcowith’s notes.

Doctor Christian Marcowith (1940-1996)

Christian Marcowith, M.D. (1940-1996) was a practicing French holistic physician who prescribed The Beljanski® Products to his patients. Dr. Marcowith’s notes embody a variety of healthcare practices involving a number of therapies of Complementary, Alternative, and Integrative Medecine (CAIM) for different types of cancers. Dr. Marcowith’s widow kindly authorized The Beljanski Foundation to publish them in the French booklet, “Cancer: L’Approche Beljanski” (The Beljanski Approach) and as part of the American book, “Cancer’s Cause, Cancer’s Cure” by Morton Walker.

My Mother, Monique Beljanski, was friends with Dr. Christian Marcowith since he became an expert in the Beljanski Approach. She recalls him as a charming, open, attentive, and discreet man who was passionate about helping those who needed it most.

Dr. Marcowith’s alternative therapies are comprehensive and informative, and are commonly referred to by many doctors and physicians practicing alternative and holistic medecine today. To learn more about Dr. Marcowith and his expertise in the Beljanski Approach, please read “Beljanski Remedy Dosages”, Chapter 8 of “Cancer’s Cause, Cancers Cure”.

The booklet, “Cancer: L’Approche Beljanski” and the book, “Cancer’s Cause Cancer’s Cure” are both available on The Beljanski Foundation website.
