Dear Subscribers,

As many of you may have figured out, despite making attempts to proofread, I make some typos. A very important "not" disappeared in the post sent last night. Actually, the total count was three words went missing and one extra one appeared that truly, I didn't mean to include! Anyway, this "not" is critical enough to warrant restating the sentence as it was supposed to read:

"If you do not feel better, it's possible you are not getting better so jumping ship and trying something else may be more sane than some mind over matter argument about staying the course."

Three people wrote me about this so at least I am encouraged that people read what I post. However, this might be a good time to mention two memory associations. My dear mentor and kahuna, the late Morrnah Simeona, said that what does not feel good to the body is resisted. The first time she said this, it was in reference to various massage therapies, some of which were touted as new and cutting edge (at that time). Massage was also becoming licensed (in Hawaii) so techniques such as Rolfing were being compared to Hawaiian lomi-lomi. Ironically, Rolfing is painful whereas lying face down on a hardwood floor with a 165-pound kahuna walking on your back is blissful. So, what Morrnah was explaining is that when something does not feel good, we actually fall back on some of our inner resources to resist, push away, and/or negate the experience. In the context of massage, this concept is already potent but when herbs and chemotherapy are contrasted, the words are so important that it pays to consider the teaching.

The second "comment" is that officially, a patient is not qualified to determine whether or not a treatment is working. This is why I put that sentence there last night. You need a degree and lab tests to make such determinations. What I meant to suggest is that patients should empower themselves, make meaningful observations about their responses to treatment and therapies, and adjust their strategies if convinced that the strategies are not actually working. Whether we are talking diet or serious protocols, your life is yours and it's precious — so getting a grip on your life and making your own decisions can be important.

Frankly, I found Ms. Carr to be appealing on some level. I liked how she showed us a number on film and read it to us. Instead of making a fuss the way I do, she just went on to the next scene, but what we deduce — if we bothered to think about it — is she decided to be more than a number. I love the art in how she got her message across.

I'm an astrologer, not a statistician. I see everyone as absolutely incredibly unique. I have this down to such fine level of tuning that I bristle over silly textbooks that talk about Moon square Mars as if the words are equally true for Moon in Aries square Mars in Cancer or Moon in Cancer square Mars in Aries — or any other signs . . . they are all different so part of my pleasure in diversity revolves around what are much more than nuances.

So, let's get nitpicky.

I sent you two photos last night. If you didn't see them, you are still subscribed to plain text emails and using 20th century technology. It's 2012 now!

The first patient had what are sometimes called cookie cutter erythrocytes. They also look a bit like bear paws, but, to be honest, they are funky. There is no way to be polite about this. Those cells are incapable of performing the tasks expected of red blood cells. There is a lot that is wrong with them besides their appearance. They seem to be leaking, drying up too fast, and unable to keep their distance from each other.

Now, I confess I cheated a bit on the second picture. In this case, the plasma is not as chemically harsh so the erythrocytes are shaped better, but they still lack vitality and the surface charge is insufficient to maintain distance. Some people are using a techy term called "low zeta potential" but the charge of the cells should repel and this allows the cells to move more freely. It is also a sign of health. What is called "fibrin" is actually dead white blood cells (that's where I cheated). This is how white blood cells look when they bite the dust. In the upper picture, you see one semi-functional white blood cell, but the person with the mouth full of amalgams only had these shreds. This leads to lots of complications, but what I found is that this important information is often ignored by both patients and doctors.

There would not be much point in mentioning this except that the amount of bodily resources devoted to dealing with amalgams is immense. In fact, there are no reserves to deal with emergencies such as a massive infection.

Anyway, with the two situations shown, despite their totally different strategies, neither patient was in particularly good shape at the time so healing seemed unrealistic until the underlying problems could be corrected. I know for a fact that at least one of the patients is doing really well now, but I haven't been back to Europe for some years and have not seen the updated records for these ladies. One, however, corresponds with me and she is doing splendidly.

The bottom line is that if you know what the problem is, you can start fixing what is wrong. Otherwise, precious time is wasted and many efforts turn out to be detours.

Now, let's try to make a bit of headway with the fundamental thesis about the need to alkalize in order to heal. This is more or less true but the fact is that the range is narrow, usually stated to be 7.35-7.45. There are lots and lots of ways to look at pH, some of which are surprising. For instance, in its genius and mercy, the plasma pirates minerals from bones to maintain safety in the plasma. Ideally, all these tasty minerals would be put back where they belong so the next teaser is to look at one more picture:

	This image is from the same page as yesterday's photomicrographs. You see what are sometimes called target cells or codocytes. Basically, they are hungry cells.

Red blood cells are not spherical. Rather, they are discoids so what happens in darkfield is that the skinny ones allow more light through and this gives the bull's eye appearance or target. They are nutritionally deficient so even when they are round and capable of circulating, they do not have a proper payload. Once more, no regeneration will occur until the condition is corrected. Erythrocytes like minerals, not just iron but lots of variety, including tiny amounts of rare minerals that are almost always lacking in our diets.

The reason this happens is that our soil suffers from some of the same abuses as our bodies. The pesticides and herbicides and toxic water are acidic and leach minerals. This means that even our plant foods are likely to be lacking some of what we need. Getting to know your plants and what they like to pull from the soil is another important step in getting control over your precious pH.

Finally, I want to go back where we started. In my early days when I was devouring information, there was a book that was hot off the press, Cancer: The Wayward Cell. It was very "in" back then to use terms like maverick, juvenile, and so on and so forth to describe cancer cells. This book was supposed to be the penultimate attempt to explain "wayward" but there were some curious legacies from 18th and 19th century medical superstitions such as "hysteria". Loosely stated, hysteria refers to patients who question the scientific basis of the prevailing therapy. These patients are neurotic and the doctor is supposed to overwhelm them with arguments to force them into compliance, but something slipped past the editors, and this was that the other purpose was to keep patients in the system.

Breathe really deeply now: one, two, three deep breaths.

No matter what, the patient must conform and, if you want my two cents, socialized medicine is part of the enforcement of this compliance. Over the years, I have met Charlotte Gerson a few times. On the first occasion, I said, "We live in a medical theocracy," to which she responded, "Ingrid, you are wrong; we live in a medical dictatorship."

To be continued!

Many blessings,

Ingrid
