Good Post, Duncan .... Thanks!  Quack Watch means "Watch the Quack" ...
Barrett is a quacker from the git-go!  Most of the doctors that I know
have nothing but contempt for him......... gives them a bad name. From a
professional viewpoint, he is a ..... (you name it) ...! 
Namaste:  Bob Bartell

Subject: Re: CS>Cancer: cause and cure

Steve Barrett is a nobody who is attempting to discredit a two-time
Nobel
laureate and his decades of research by shabby sniping consisting of a
poorly thought out armchair outburst of "hooey" that he only hopes the
uninfomed public will swallow because of the sheer size of his website.
Smacks of penis envy. More on Setve and his organisation's antics on
www.savedrclark.org

What the self-proclaimed "expert" (he has been denied expert status in
court) shovels as truth leaves out the meat of the argument. As Otto
Warburg
proved, to get his two Nobel prizes for precisely this research,
anaerobic
fermentation of cells will result in cancer. Reversing this process is
accomplished by thousands of M.D.s in clinical settings all over the
world.
It works, and it works reliably, despite Steve's desperate bleatings.

If indeed Mr. Barrett understands the process at all, he deliberately
misrepresents it as he does many other, practically all other,
modalities on
the quackwatch site, including many others that produce stellar
results..

OK here's the lowdown:

Although tissues are bathed in oxygenated blood, it's the process of
absorbing the oxygen through the cell wall that is impaired in a cancer
situation. Oxygen does not diffuse in, it must be carried, so of course
the
petri dish argument of it being exposed to room oxygen is out too.

If the cell membrane voltage drops too low, there's not enough voltage
difference between the outside and inside of the cell to facilitate easy
exchange of the oxygen and other nutrients with the waste inside the
cell.
As Otto Warburg pointed out, ANYTHING that interferes with cell
respiration
i.e. anything that encumbers the respiration by dropping membrane
voltage,
will result in a lack of oxygenation. This anything can be toxins within
or
without the cell, and also can be body pH, which if low, results in
systemic
oxygen shortages.

As an aside, membrane voltage can be at least temporarily restored
through
some of the electronic and magnetic frequency devices, and in practice
this
has been proven out (Priore, Rife), allowing the cell to respire
normally
again, chuck the toxins, and absorb oxygen. I know about the infection
connection, but that does not explain the success obtained by either
zapping, or the Beck blood electrification, neither of which kill
systemic
bacteria. The blood electrifier's effectiveness on bugs is within the
bloodstream only, and the zapper's power is much too low to produce
voltages
needed to kill things in the body.

However it starts, lowered cellular oxygen disables the natural DNA
repair
mechanism that every cell contains. Without this natural DNA repair
mechanism, all aerobic life would have cancer and the species would not
survive. The lowering of oxygen to 40% of optimal will not kill the cell
outright because the cell has the ability to survive by fermenting sugar
anaerobically rather than burning both sugar and fat aerobically. If the
DNA
breaks, from free radicals produced, you have cancer. Raise the
intracellular oxygen levels somehow, and the DNA repair functions again
and
the cancer starts to shrink as cells are normalized.

Restore cell membrane voltage potential and cell respiration is done in
several ways; Hans Neiper uses cal/mag/potassium to force an effect by
raising extracellular pH, which allows more oxygen to be carried through
the
lymph to the cells, and the alkaline mineral also favourably influences
the
difference between inside and outside voltage of the cell, which
facilitates
oxygen and wast exchange. We already practice this as a preventive.
Recent
studies for example prove that colon cancer statistics are dramatically
reduced by adding calcium supplements to the diet. And many of us are
proactively monitoring saliva pH.

As an aside, The sugar connection is being used as we speak; inducing
hypoglycemic shock through dietary mods, and then inulin injections, is
being used to kill cancer cells outright. Another way this is being used
is
dietary mods and a substance that prevents the liver from producing
sugar so
all it can produce is oils, which normal cells can live on and cancer
cells
can not.

Sure there are more arguments on the valididy, but not today

Duncan
