From time to time I get emais from our friend and author of “Yes, No, Maybe Chronobiotic Nutrition” and regular guest on One Radio Network {link to Atoms interviews}

Here are some random and interesing musings from Atom.

Sunbathing at midday can help osteoarthritis via immunosuppression

Sunbathing at either side of midday can help rheumatoid arthritis via immunostimulation.

Suntanning is slightly catabolic and sunburning is moderately to very catabolic.

Unfortunately, we have the same defense mechanism we have against the Sun as we do against essential fatty acids … so its not as simplistic as disposing of your sunglasses (like John Ott did).

Incidentally, Revici was a pioneer in the use glucosamine as connective tissue therapy … way before it appeared in health food stores. In 1961,

He wrote, “We treated cases of rheumatoid arthritis with oral glucosamine with fair to good results. Four grams of glucosamine a day appeared to be the minimum requirement. Good results could be seen in some cases after doses of 5 to 10 grams daily. These results were confirmed by B. Welt who, following his research, used the same preparation of glucosamine on a series of 15 patients bedridden with arthritis at the Greenpoint Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. Subjective and objective improvement occurred in patients with rheumatoid arthritis while no changes were seen for those with osteoarthritis.”

Revici experimented with the entire “gluco” group, including glucose, glucuronic acid, glucosomine, galactosamine, glucosaminic acid, galactosaminic acid, etc.

According to Revici, “Galactosamine produced results almost similar to those of glucosamine. Still better results were seen with glucosaminic acid, used in the same doses as glucosamine. Some strikingly good results in several cases of arthritis were obtained with gluconic acid administered orally in doses of a few grams a day (four tablespoons of a 25% solution).”

PS: Vonn and I watched an interview with Italian oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini, the baking soda advocate. Shes ordering his book. Cancer is NOT a fungus, but there ARE fungus-related (Period 3), protozoa-related (also Period 3), helminth-related (Period 2 as in colon cancer), bacteria-related (Period 4), virus-related (Period 5), retrovirus-related (Periods 5 & 6), prion-related (Period 6), drug-related (Periods 2, 3, 4, 5, and even 6), CHEMOTHERAPY-related, and RADIATION-related cancers. With only a few exceptions that can penetrate directly down to the Period 6 level, 99 percent of all these cancer “causers” must meet up with genetics and subgenetic (proteonomic, glyconomic, etc.) factors to “complete” cancer.

Parasites are found in all hierarchies (Periods) … helminths, protozoa, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and retroviruses. In 99 percent of cases, a parasite must “join up” with a genetic or subgenetic factor to produce cancer. The level they “join up” at has much to do with the type of cancer produced.

According to Revici, “Carcinogenesis […] is not simply a change of a normal cell into a cancerous one but a step by step progressive hierarchic development. A cell is cancerous only if it has a cancerous nucleus just as a nucleus is cancerous only if it is formed by cancerous chromosomes which, in turn, are cancerous if they have cancerous genes. With the same reasoning, it is possible to go far down in the organization, below genes even to nucleo-proteins or still lower to histones or even alkaline amino acids, to find that the first changes, which can be considered to be specific for cancer, take place at the bottom of the organization of the biological realm. In other words, a cell becomes cancerous after specific cancerous changes have occurred in all the hierarchically inferior entities that compose it. Thus, a successful experimentally induced cancer, i.e., one that is already in the invasive phase, means that changes would have affected the entire series of hierarchic entities, including the cells, whose participation results in the invasive character. Seen under this aspect, carcinogenesis no longer can be accepted as a simple process occurring in the cells, but must be regarded as a succession of organized processes.”
