HEALTH MUSINGS (Paper 7D, More on immune system support , “Immune-2")

by Clifford S. Garner, Ph.D.




In an earlier paper (6D, “Immune-1") we considered some aspects of the immune system.
We now call attention to several more nutritional supplements that are recently reported to have a
major impact on enhancement of the immune system and the overcoming of cancer and various
infections.
One of these is lactoferrin, an unique iron-binding protein present in colostrum, the mother's
“first milk" following childbirth, and which is the baby's main source of immune system protection
against infections at that time (despite nutrients added to synthetic baby formulas such formulas
do not promote the immunological and nutritional qualities of mother's milk, let alone the
important emotional bonding and development that comes from the baby's suckling at the breast).
Lactoferrin is beneficial for people of all ages.
Lactoferrin appears to stimulate immune function in two ways. It activates specific strands of
DNA to turn on genes that promote the growth of immune cells and the immune response.
Lactoferrin also binds iron in the blood so strongly that bacteria, viruses, fungi and other
pathogens, all of which need iron to grow, are inhibited. Incidentally, lactoferrin transports iron to
parts of the body that need it while at the same time it makes the iron unavailable to harmful
bacteria, etc. Lactoferrin tends to block cancer cell nourishment, having been found effective in
treating mesothelioma (a form of lung cancer), solid tumors, and metastasis (the transfer of cancer
cells to sites distant from the initial cancer site).
Lactoferrin is also a powerful antioxidant and inhibits harmful free-radical production. In
early stages of an HIV-infected immune system elevated levels of an immune-depressant called
isoferritin are produced; the presence of enough lactoferrin suppresses the harmful isoferritin,
allowing the immune system to function normally. Because people who have leukemia, breast
cancer, celiac or kidney disease have elevated levels of isoferritin, it may be that lactoferrin can
successfully treat such diseases. Lactoferrin also has anti-inflammatory properties and can be
helpful in arthritis. Lactoferrin also inhibits blood platelet aggregation (clumping together of
blood cells) and may be useful for stroke prevention, etc. Lactoferrin has been shown to increase
survival rates of persons suffering from otherwise lethal septic shock while in hospitals by 330%.
Lactoferrin is non-toxic and is tolerated well even by nursing infants.
At present, lactoferrin is commercially isolated and freeze-dried from cow’s milk and is not
identical to human lactoferrin. However, it is close enough to give all the iron-binding and most
of the immune system benefits of human lactoferrin. It is unlikely that lactoferrin will be of
interest to pharmaceutical companies for it is 100% natural, and by law no natural substance can
be patented as is. Accordingly, probably few of the orthodox MDs will either know about or
make use of lactoferrin.
Two sources of lactoferrin supplements of which I am aware are The Right Solution, North
Las Vegas, Nevada, l-800-411-5795, ext 101, and Advanced Nutritional Products, Rockville,
MD, 1-888-436-7200. Some holistic MDs recommend taking the daily dose at one time just
before bedtime.
Another immune supporting supplement is calcium enolate, an olive leaf extract used for
malaria treatment as long ago as 1827. Reports state that olive leaf extract is far superior to
quinine for malaria. Calcium enolate is the hydrolyzed form of oleuropein, the active constituent
of olive leaf extract isolated in 1957. Calcium enolate directly stimulates phagocytosis, the
immune system process in which phagocytes in the blood engulf and digest harmful foreign micro-
organisms. Calcium enolate also stops the production of enzymes that a retrovirus, such as HIV,
needs in order to change the RNA of a healthy cell, stops viral replication processes, and retards
the growth of harmful bacteria and other pathogens. It also increases circulation, reduces high
blood pressure, and supports heart health, as well as normalizing blood sugar levels. No toxicity
or side affects have been observed, and animal experiments suggest that the dosages below would
be safe even if raised several hundred fold.
Dosages suggested by holistic MDs are to begin with one or two 500-mg capsules per day for
two weeks, then increase to six to eight daily until improvement is observed, then taper off to one
or two daily as maintenance.
Calcium enolate is available from the same source as lactoferrin, as well as from Nutricology,
1-800-454-8482. Health food stores may also carry it.
Another immune-enhancing supplement is modified citrus pectin (MCP), not to be confused
with natural citrus pectin often found in health food stores; the latter does not have the immune-
enhancing, cancer-killer effects. MCP appears to be the first nontoxic substance that has been
found to interfere with the metastasis or spreading of cancer cells, at least for prostate cancer and
skin cancer in rats. In order for metastasis to occur in rat prostate tumor cells galectin-3 must be
present in the adjacent healthy cells. MCP competes with the galectin-3, thus counteracting the
metastasis, and because human tissues have galectin-3 also, there is a good probability that MCP
will work in humans also. MCP has significantly improved immune system killer cells and other
aspects of immune system function.
The dosage suggested in the literature is 15 grams daily (1 rounded tablespoon).
It appears to be available from the same sources as lactoferrin.
Still another immune-stimulating supplement is uña de gato (Cat's Claw, the herb uncaria
tomentosa found in the Peruvian rain forests). This herb has been touted as beneficial for arthritis,
allergies, herpes, candida, PMS, ulcers, etc. Hank Oswald, M.D., who operates a clinic in
Amsterdam, has cured sixty cases of Crohn's disease (chronic ileitis or inflammatory breakdown
of the wall of the ileum or last part of the small intestine, a serious disorder) with Cat's Claw.
Here our interest in Cat's Claw is that it has an alkaloid called isopteropodine that stimulates
phagocytosis (the ability of white blood cells to engulf and digest harmful micro-organisms, such
as viruses, tumor cells, etc.). It is available in many health food stores. Some brands will have
fake herbs or the less efficient uncaria guianensis, etc. A brand I have found reliable is Rainforest
Bio-Energetics Uña de Gato, 1-800-835-0850. This company claims it works with the native
Peruvians to harvest it in a way that avoids destruction of the rain forests there. See the
instructions on the bottle for dosages.
A not-unrelated item of interest is a recent study made at Battelle Memorial Laboratories for
the Environmental Protection Agency on the wearing of shoes in the home. They found that the
very toxic herbicide 2,4-D commonly used on lawns for weed control is tracked into home
interiors on the shoes (or bare feet) of anyone walking on a treated lawn for up to a week after
the spraying. This chemical can accumulate in carpet/rug dust up to 100 times as great as on the
lawn itself. Removal of the shoes before entering the home reduced the 2,4-D residue by more
than 90% (wiping the shoes reduced the herbicide carried in by 25% to 33% - no statement as to
how the wiping occurred). The 2,4-D is highly toxic and acts like an estrogen or other steroid sex
hormone- - the effect of such substances on wild life (we're discussing nature here, not parties)
where these "pseudo-hormone" chemicals have accumulated has been devastating in some cases,
with male birds developing female organs and vice-versa, e.g., and sexual development messages
in other wild life being garbled. The obvious concern in the home is that small children playing on
carpets can breathe in the herbicide or ingest it when they put their fingers in their mouths. An
earlier study in one community found that 23% of the children tested had 2,4-D in their urine.
Small children have less developed immune systems and are more susceptible to toxins of various
kinds. Even adults could be at some risk in a room during or immediately alter vacuum cleaning
the carpets.
In a personal note, my wife and I spent several weeks on our own in Japan in 1963. Among
other customs we found, and enjoyed there, was the removal of shoes before entering a home or
a ryokan (a Japanese inn with Japanese customs and styles). We thought "What a great idea!" and
since then we have always taken our shoes off as we enter our home and exchange them for house
slippers. Not only does this prevent problems like the herbicide above, but it is more hygienic in
other ways (no animal droppings tracked in, no mud, etc.).
Why not give this a try?

HEALTH MUSINGS (Paper 8D, Healing with light and color)

by Clifford S. Garner, Ph. D.


“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light” (Genesis 1:3). And we, in essence,
are light beings with bodies of light. In this paper we present some aspects of healing with light and
color.
I don't know how far back the use of color for healing extends, just that it is very ancient.
Records do show that the ancient Egyptians made extensive and effective use of color among their
healing arts. In more modern times the Rosicrucians used color healing as early as the 15th century.
Parenthetically, my own introduction to color healing goes back to the 1940s when, as a member of
the Rosicrucian Order, A.M.O.R.C., I had a health problem helped by lying nude in a healing room
filled with orange light (they had windowless rooms, each with a particular color light source).
Nearly a century ago Dr. Edwin Dwight Babbitt was apparently the first modern-time person to
study color healing from a scientific viewpoint. His book, "The Principles of Light and Color,"
although valuable, was scorned by the medical profession. Some of Edgar Cayce's medical-type
readings referred to healing with color.
However, it remained for Colonel Dinshah P. F. Ghadiali, born in India in 1873 to a family of
the Zoroastrian faith, to spend a lifetime investigating the effects of color on people, and to bring
reproducibility into the field through the use of specific superimposed color slides to obtain accurate
wavelengths of light. Babbitt and other earlier investigators had used colored glasses of variable and
non-uniform quality, with more or less hit-or-miss results.
Colonel Ghadiali, who later preferred to be known as "Dinshah," stated his belief that every cell
in the human body generates a definite frequency of radiant energy, corresponding to perfect
functioning, and a shift in frequency upon dysfunction (those readers familiar with the research of
Royal Rife will be aware of the accuracy of that belief). He considered a person's aura to represent
the sum total of the radiant energies from all the cells. Shining colored light on the body would
result in a resonance with the aura such as to either tonify and stimulate or to sedate, as needed.
Dinshah took his system of color healing, which he called "Spectro-Chrome," to the USA where
he introduced it to the world outside India in April 1920. During the next four years he trained over
800 professional and lay persons in his techniques, founded the Spectro-Chrome Institute in Malaga,
NJ, and appeared to be ready to contribute greatly to a world in need of healing. Disaster struck in
the form of his building burning to the ground (arson?) and the medical authorities hounding and
persecuting him (as it does today with any practitioner of a new healing system). He passed through
his transition in April 1966, having contributed what I believe to be the best system of color healing
developed so far, which I'll describe shortly.
Dinshah was brilliant and a psychic who began school at the age of 2 1/2, and by age 14 he was
a regular lecturer in chemistry and physics at seven institutes of learning in Bombay. As a psychic
he was able to control his heart beat mentally, to ride a bicycle while blindfolded, to read a book
placed on his navel with his eyes closed, etc. He learned eight oriental and eight occidental
languages, speaking some of them fluently. Apparently his first use of color healing was with a close
friend who was on her death bed from dysentery. Using ideas from Babbitt's book, he irradiated
water in several pickle bottles of different appropriate colors, had the woman drink the water, and
to everyone's surprise she made a nearly complete recovery inside 48 hours. He later abandoned
the Babbitt color system for his own. He was a genius and a true servant of humanity, which is why
I have given here these few aspects of his life.
Dinshah's system uses a white-light slide projector with five color slides: red, green, violet, yellow
and blue, with which seven more colors are obtained by superimposing pairs of slides to give lemon,
orange, scarlet, magenta, purple, indigo, and turquoise. Green is considered the median or governing
color and is said to have positive polarity and relate to the physical body, tending to equilibrate it.
Red, orange, yellow and lemon occur in the spectrum before green and are called "infra-green"
colors, usually used in acute sickness conditions (he defined as those with a fever). Turquoise, blue,
indigo and violet occur in the spectrum after green and are termed 'ultra-green" colors, usually used
in chronic illness (he defined as involving little or no rise in body temperature). Purple, magenta and
scarlet are not included in either series, but all these colors are used in his system. Irradiations are
done on bare skin, sometimes only on one of 22 areas of the body (relating to organs, glands, etc.),
sometimes "svstemic front" (entire anterior torso from genitals through head), sometimes "systemic
back" (entire posterior torso from buttocks through head), or occasionally the entire body. The
system is much more complex than I think it worth to describe here. E.g., the starting time of an
irradiation is calculated astrologically for a given geographical location to correspond to a nostril
supposedly being at its minimum pressure (and one hour later at the end of the irradiation when
the minimum-pressure nostril is now exceeding the pressure of the other nostril); those familiar with
yoga pranayama know that inhalation of the breath is controlled first through one nostril, then
through the other, with a positive electrical current flowing down the right side of the spine
("pingala") with each inhalation through the right nostril, and a negative electrical current flowing
down the left side of the spine ("ida") with each inhalation through the left nostril.
For those interested in reading more two books are available: Dinshah P. Ghadiali, "Spectro-
Chrome Metry Encyclopedia," Dinshah Health Society, Malaga, NJ, 3d ed., 1992, and Darius
Dinshah, "Let There Be Light," Dinshah Health Society, Malaga, NJ, 1985. These books give details
of treating, including tables of colors and body locations for many sickness conditions. These books
are available through the World Research Foundation in Sherman Oaks, CA. In 1987 I took a
correspondence course in this system, but never used it with clients (only with a few close friends)
because of the long irradiation times and lack of a private room that could be darkened.
Stanley Burroughs has a section in his book, "Healing for the Age of Enlightenment," Newcastle,
CA, 4th ed., 1976, on color therapy simplified from the Ghadiali system.
William Campbell Douglas, MD, published in 1995 a small book, "Color Me Healthy," based on
the Ghadiali system, but greatly simplified for the untrained layperson to use at home for many health
problems. This book, together with 11 Roscolene color filters for use with a flashlight, can be had
from Second Opinion Publishing, 800-728-2288, for $43.90, including shipping. Dr. Douglas says
in the book, "after nearly 37 years of active hospital and private practice in medicine and surgery, I
can produce quicker and more accurate results with colors than with any or all other methods
combined."
In another book, "The Healing Power of Light," Dr. Douglas describes what he calls
"photoluminescence," in which a patient's blood is pumped through a quartz-glass cuvette where it
is irradiated with ultraviolet light before being returned to the patient's body. He states that such
conditions as blood poisoning, bronchiopneumonia, polio, cancer and AIDS have been successfully
treated in this way.
The pioneering work of John N. Ott on the effects of light and color on plants, animals and
humans is well known. His book, "Health and Light," Pocket Books, New York, 1973, describes the
healing properties of sunlight, and how the use of fluorescent and standard incandescent lights gives
an abnormal light spectrum that tends to be harmful. When special "Ott" light bulbs were introduced
into some school classrooms the incidence of hyperkinetic and unruly behavior among students
declined sharply. Ott also developed special eyeglass lenses which give a more natural and healthful
light into the eyes; tinted sunglasses are generally not healthful, except for the slightly gray-tinted Ott
sunglass lenses. Pink lenses tend to aggravate allergy symptoms. Unfortunately, few of the public
and fewer optometrists know about the Ott lenses.
Lasermedics of Missouri City, TX, developed in 1993 a truly amazing laser, the "MicroLight
830," which has great healing power. Unlike powerful lasers of a different type that are used in
medicine for surgery, and burning and vaporization of tissue, or used by dentists for drilling in place
of mechanical drills, the MicroLight 830 is a portable infrared low energy cold laser (830 nanometers,
30 milliwatts) which penetrates 3 cm (1 1/4") into body tissue without any tissue damage, and
appears to normalize tissue function. It relieves pain, but also brings back feeling into tissues that had
become numb. Chronic arthritic joint pain of long duration has been removed with a single 3-minute
treatment, e.g. This laser can remove scar tissue, but can also stimulate new tissue growth. It can
delete unwanted pigmented skin areas, but also restore normal pigmentation in vitiligo (white, gray,
or brown discoloration of skin). Torn knee cartilage, sprains and strains, damaged nerves, wounds,
and 3d degree burns, carpal tunnel syndrome, and headaches have all been alleviated. Dentists have
used this laser for gum diseases, dry socket problems, and for temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
disorders. Veterinarians have found the laser very helpful in treating animal pets and race horse
injuries. No adverse side effects have been noted.
Four years after the development of the MicroLight 830, and despite the enthusiasm of the few
medical doctors who have used it, the FDA still has not given the manufacturer the go ahead to
market it freely apparently, although MDs can get it and use it for "study" purposes (guess why the
FDA is reluctant to approve this laser fully). If you own an animal pet or horse, etc., you can
seemingly obtain this portable laser through a veterinarian. The medical model apparently sells for
$9,000, and a non-portable model costs about $2,500. If this laser ever becomes available to the
public at a lower price it will revolutionize health care. It is my understanding that Lasermedics will
help you locate an MD who uses this laser in or near your location; their telephone number is 1-713-
261-5079. [Note added recently: In April 1998 I became aware it was legally possible to obtain an
830 nanometer 65 milliwatt continuous cold laser at about $1400 from Jim Collins, 1-214-373-6729,
that would do many of these things, and I purchased one and have found it very useful.]
I use a low-power (670 nm, 3 mW) laser in correcting allergies and other problems. If spinal
vertebrae are kinesiologically weakening on contact with the S pole of a magnet, they will correct
themselves on lasering with this laser a set of "hypothalamic set points" (certain acupuncture points).
Maybe ten years ago Alfred Popp in Germany discovered that healthy human skin emits a very low-
intensity laser light in the red part of the spectrum (Yes, we are all redskins!) at about the same
wavelength as my laser. Probably the lasering is so effective because there is a resonance with the
natural vibrational rate of healthy skin which enhances the healthy electromagnetic field of the body,
and especially of the nervous system. The skin is an extension of the nervous system (the same kinds
of cells in the developing human fetus that can differentiate into skin cells can also differentiate into
nerve cells).
Incidentally, a person can have allergies to various colors. I find these can be either sensitivity
to the radiation of the color itself, or it can be an emotional response from an earlier reaction to that
color.
While on the subject of skin color, we note that Gordon Michael Scallion has said that babies will
appear with a slightly blue coloring to the skin in all the races because of our new Blue Star sun, and
indeed about a hundred such have already been reported. He also remarks that the color spectrum
will change. Chakra colors are changing. Recently, Lee Carroll and Jan Tober have published a
book, “The Indigo Children,” which goes into some of this and the remarkable qualities of these
indigo or blue children.
I am trained, among other forms of kinesiology, in the Professional Kinesiology Practice (PKP)
system of kinesiology in which "finger modes" (like mudras) are used while muscle testing to learn
what the client's inner beingness needs. Color is used in this system in a number of ways, always
having first found the key emotion involved. The EM#5b mode uses the Ghadiali Roscolene color
filters to shine colors into the glabella (nosebridge between the eyes) or other body areas. The
EM#5a mode uses the five elements of classical Chinese acupuncture, together with their associated
colors: fire/red, earth/yellow, metal/white, water/blue, and wood/green. Colors that kinesiologically
weaken the client are visualized by the client as he/she thinks about the negative aspects related to
the color, while the facilitator holds the client's ESR points, etc. (see Health Musings, Paper 1D, for
use of the ESR or emotional stress release technique). Then the process is repeated with infusion
of the related positive aspects of the color. Incidentally, this sometimes gives immediate pain relief
where there has been trauma associated with the particular color. The EM#5c mode brings on line
a color profile analysis of personality based on the color tests devised by the German psychologist,
Dr. Max Luescher, in which the client chooses in order of preference 8 color cards which have been
laid out randomly, then shuffles the cards and chooses 8 for a second time. The meaning of the
choices is fully interpreted in Dr. Luescher's book, "The Luescher Color Test," translated by Ian
Scott, Pocket Books, NY, 1969. PKP adds kinesiology testing of the colors while the client is
viewing them, finds the emotion and defuses it by PKP balancing. The EM#8 l/2c mode is a
color/sound concerto, in which the key emotion and its related organ/gland is "put in circuit" and the
tonic scale sound found which reverses the kinesiology test is also put in circuit, then the color is
found which again reverses the kinesiology test when the color is placed over the organ/gland; the
client continues to sing the given pitch until the finger mode clears. On my own I have also used
Ghadiali color filters to irradiate acupuncture points.
Those gifted with extra-sensitive sight observe that in the use of a pendulum in aura balancing,
light energy flows down the pendulum into the person being balanced. The new "galactic light
energy" is now part of the aura balancing procedure (I am a certified aura balancer).
We are in for some exciting times in healing as the new lasers, spectral changes, and energies
come on line!
