我病了

04/16/2016
我生病了.我因焦慮而憂鬱.每天很累,負面情緒很多,.二三十年力行健康的身心靈生活,還是無法勝過自已的弱點,寫這個blog有數年,終覺每篇都是廢話.
几個月前看–本翻譯的Until I say goodbye,當時很感動,作者是–個漸凍人,她保持樂觀,只剩右手姆指能打字,她仍熱愛生命,奮戰到最後一刻,把她對家人,朋友及這世界的愛寫出來.
而我呢?從真正發病到今天,差不多才五個月,我就受不了了,每天靠Xanax0.5mg睡,一起來就很累很累,負面情緒開始湧出,拉著愛妻的手,不知說什麼..抗憂鬱的藥試了Prestiq, Xolof, Lexapro,目前在試Prozic.几十年的信仰,在今天求平安的心几乎看不到.想到才几個月前還在東基及迦南中心以詩歌及神的話語安慰別人,而今我竟到處找神的同在,找出人意外的平安.
04/22/2016
今天張師母來,她是我的心理諮商師.需要她Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
1.相信我一定會好,2.打電話給朋友,3運動,4時時感恩、5每天學新的東西.
這是我每天要做的行為.
想的簡單,做出很難.張師母要我每天在表裡打勾,有做的要給自已鼓勵.
是了,我一向是喜歡Norman Peale的Positive Thinking,希望我的奮鬥能激起同病者的動能,加油.

今早看internet新聞,知道新竹有一個媽媽在母親節前夕,因不能忍受生病的煎熬,以最激烈的手段結束她及二個幼子的生命.我看她是因窖怕一個不可知的病或不能等而患上憂鬱症.我看了這則新聞,心中充滿憂傷.她不是一個弱者,她是一個受害者.真希望之前能認識她,幫她一點忙,
依我的經驗,患上憂鬱症的人,差不多是把靈魂及肉体交在一個坯者手裡.我是要靠藥才能睡几個小時.但醒來後几乎不想起來.錯了,不是不想起來,就是想起來,也起不來,身体被無形之力拖住.起來後心情奇坯,如不吃藥,就會發作.我所謂"發作",既是有自殺的念頭.這種"自殺的念頭",有時很短暫,有時要很久才去.我光是要妻寫遺囑就不下數次.有時"發作"是因我攝護腺發炎太痛,覺得沒法克服,走頭無路,死是最好的解決辦法.我老友說他活一天賺一天.我認為痛苦的活,過一天,是少痛苦一天.聖經告訴我們,生命是神給的,是很寶貴的,不可自殺.但患上憂鬱症的人,如果是基督徒,他一定是每天禱告,求神賜他出人意外的平安,但萬一他走上自殺之路,我覺得神會原諒他.
每天有親愛的家人及教會的親愛的朋友來探訪及電話來,更有的每個禮拜煮東西來.我很感動.但若病情沒進步,或者發作時,信心就會動搖.如何學會"交託"是一門我一輩子的學習.但我有時,no,有很多時候,做不到.
妻是我的一切支柱,我一直很對不起她,因堅強不起來,一個簡單的走几步路,我會說不,連試都不試,有時覺得自已可恥.但最最重要的:一定要相信會好起來.Somehow, time is on our side. I  believe that.
05/06/2016
今天一早起來就發作了,直到現在都不開心,
05/06/2016
I feel so tired this morning. I have no appetite for breakfast and lunch. I am down all day. I have fear all day.
05/09/2016
我的根本問題是長期處於攝護腺發炎,痛的關係.因坐著會痛,小便會痛,而且攝護腺又肥大,所以診治很困難,很有可能真正不在攝護腺.這是長久厭力下發作成憂鬱的原因.明天去做切片,至少先解決發病的主因吧.這几天坐的痛較能忍受.較不會抓狂.
另外一個問題是交託的問題.交託是把一切藉禱告,將重擔卸在神手裡,而能過出人意料的平安.而我一直做不了,感到羞愧.
另一個問題,是人在憂鬱中,做一切事都會失去動機,及能力,變成行屍走肉,自已討厭自己.
目前立志要儘量寫這個部落格,做為走出的第一步,給自已一個掌聲.
05/11/2016
這次生病,有很多朋友關心、電話,來探訪,煮東西來,帶我們去吃飯,讓我們很感恩.最大的回報當然是好起來.每天有積極的態度?我想一天沒有垃圾的想法都有困難.光累就難對付了.
我要特用感謝你們無償的付出,每天鼓勵我.要幸福,不能放棄.
06/28/2016
今天忽然想好久沒寫了,今天來談談一下最近的感受.
1.我的生活有很大的挑戰.就是生活失去重心.以前喜歡做的,現在沒有興趣,或者沒有能力做.
2.心慌早午會有,有時只有早上,有時只有下午,有時上下午都會來.來時心想從身体跳出來,最好是馬上吃藥xanax 0.25mg,不然就會變成很哀傷,有不能控制,不如由世界消失之痛.
3.到底受藥控制的生命的意義在那?
4.感恩,學習,成就,及樂活是我每天臨睡前要與妻討論及寫下來的功課.
5.到底得癌症四期比得憂鬱症的人痛苦嗎?

逆轉勝失智症(包括老年癡呆)的確據

認知功能減退的逆轉:一種新的治療方法
去年,2014年,秋季,老化期刊(aging)發表美國 Dale Bredesen醫生的一篇文章,"認知功能減退的逆轉:一種新的治療方法".
他認為失智不是重金屬中毒,像汞或鋁.他說腦神經細胞有2种作用,一為記憶,一為忘憶.當新陳代謝失衡,這2种作用就不再協調,失智形成,認知就下降.而且越來越嚴重.他說只要"人体健康,失智就消失". 基於這個假設,他找來10個病人,給他們食療,運動,補充各种維他命,及一些其它的作為,10個有9個恢復正常.這是一個天大的消息,美加州州議會請他去演講.但台灣卻沒人報導.所以今天由我來報導.
其重點很多,是一種雞尾酒療法,他認為單一療法無法修補一個破了36個洞的屋頂.但在其文章中只列出三個病人的療單,其療單與"表一"並不相合.今依三個病人的施行重點歸納如下,，這是大部份人可容易施行的.
1.不吃糖及精制食物.多吃蔬菜,水果,不吃養殖的魚,不吃肉或者只吃一點吃草的肉.
2.每餐3個鐘頭.晚餐及早餐隔12個鐘頭.
3.每天至少運動30分鐘.
4.靜坐或漸進式放鬆法及做瑜伽減壓.
5.每天睡足7-8個小時.不能則吃0.5mg 退黑激素.
6.D3 2000IU ( 或每天曬一點太陽). 魚油2000mg ( 或亞麻子或亞麻子油).CoQ₁₀ 200mg

7.用電動牙刷.

8.椰子油1茶匙.

我的意見

Bredesen醫生認為每個病人該客制化(customized for each patient)治療.但他的內涵方法,補充物太多,一般人恐無法做到.但我認為大部份的人,健康的生活是相同的,只要依據健康生活法則去做,就能逆轉勝失智症.以上8點大概每個人都容易做.請大家告訴大家.懂英文的請去看原文.Bredesen醫生他說他受Ornish醫生及Campbell教授影響很大.這樣健康的生活基本上是植物為主,再加上運動,休息及良好睡眠.說逆轉勝.

用福善美( Fosamax)治療骨質疏鬆很危險

妳要向神求智慧.

妳只要google一下,不論是用中文或英文,就知道用福善美( Fosamax)治療骨質疏鬆是很危險的.
它的壞處極多,極危險.是毒藥.

它的作用
是讓人体清除舊骨的机制失靈.這樣舊骨不去,新骨增加很少,幾年下來,驗骨密度就會顯得增加.但其實骨骼結構已改變.其中的舊骨不耐久用,結構不良,就容易無故斷裂,特別是腿骨及股骨(femur fracture).颚骨坯死(Dead jaw Syndrome) ,拔牙植牙皆沒法做,牙齒掉光光,食道會受傷,也可能得癌(只能坐或站著吃藥,,30分鐘內不得趟下),其它尚有心臟及眼睛問題.骨頭到處痛.

美國食品管理局要求標籤加警告
2004 要求, 2005加上  颚骨坯死
2007 心律不整 警告沒改
2008 骨頭肌肉酸痛   警告加重(Highlight)
2010 腿骨斷裂
2011 食道癌

人為何會骨質疏鬆
神造人是造出很完美的人体的,骨骼是要讓妳用一輩子的,我們來看看骨密度是怎樣得來的?乃是跟30歲的女人,而且是高頭大馬的白女人,的骨密度來比較的.一個30歲的女人,正是要生兒育女,輔乳工作正年富力強的時候,她的骨密度一定最高.一個50,60歲的婦女已停經不再生育輔乳,她的骨密度不再需要如30歲的高.這樣如果拿來比較,可以說百分之一百的婦女,在停經後一定是被判定為骨質流失( osteopenia ) 或骨質疏鬆( osteoporosis ). 沒有一個例外.這種比較有意義嗎?

莫克藥廠參予的經典報告 1998 發表在JAMA, 4年期報告
http://member.aarp.org/health/drugs-supplements/info-10-2012/fosamax-for-osteoporosis.html
試驗期4年
54-81歲
安慰劑組: 2218人 鈣500mg D3 250IU
Fosamax組: 2214人鈣500mg D3 250IU 第一年 Fosamax 5mg /day  以後 10mg/day

結果
                             安慰劑組                          Fosamax組
診斷骨折              312/2218=0.14%                272/2214=0.12%
T小於﹔-2.5               159                                    107
T 介於-2.5   -2.0      87                                      92
T 介於-2.0   -1.0       66                                     73
 
臀部骨折                  24                                       19
腕部骨折                  70                                       83

只有高度骨質疏鬆者(osteoporosis,T小於-2.5) 服福善美才見骨折比服安慰者減少.但只有骨質流失者(osteopenia, T介於-1到-2.5者)若服用,則骨折比不服用者反而增加.大部份的婦女其骨密度T值都在-1到-2.5之間,這樣台灣135萬停經婦女,有37萬正在服用Fosamax,,她們是自取其禍了,反而增加骨折的機會.既比不服用Fosamax者糟糕.

.http://www.yeezen.com.tw/Document/BDFile/yzkl02007.htm
顯然譚傳明主任沒有在看Fosamax的原始報告原件及相關的最新的研究.

"過去13年來，衛生署共接獲33起顎骨壞死與4起股骨骨折通報案"
是因台灣婦女比較厲害,不怕毒藥,還是遭害者不知通報?還有這有通報的39人,誰替她們討回公道?

以下文章,說美國婦女使用fosamax者拔牙後有4%發生顎骨坯死.4%很多也?!

http://www.webmd.com/osteoporosis/news/20090101/fosamax-higher-risk-of-jawbone-death

美國大部份的研究認為無故腿骨骨折都是因為服用Fosamax等同類的藥.以下文章是訴訟律師的網頁

http://www.braytonlaw.com/Injuries-from-Prescription-Drugs/Fosamax.shtml

我們再來看2011年的報告:用福善美藥研究結果的系統性評估分析
A Systematic Review of the Efficacy of Bisphosphonates

THERAPEUTICS LETTER ISSUE 83 / SEP - OCT 2011

http://www.ti.ubc.ca/letter83
評論33篇有關Fosamax及同類藥的統計分析  共有25735個女人參予
結果::
先前沒有骨折也沒有脊椎壓迫問題者,服福善美等類藥的人與服安慰劑者在腕骨及臀骨的骨折,沒有統計上的分別.
‧基於各論文假設的差異性大及結果值大小差異不大,若先前有骨折及脊椎有受壓者,並不能有足夠的說服力說服Fosamax對股骨骨折有幫助.

沒人知道該服fosamax多久
藥廠及醫生都不知道該藥該服多久.

看看美國老人(退休者)協會怎麼說 (AARP)
http://member.aarp.org/health/drugs-supplements/info-10-2012/fosamax-for-osteoporosis.html
如果妳有骨質疏鬆的問題,應與醫生好好談,跟醫生有一個詳細的風險管理商談.
長期用藥都會使骨流失:類固醇,利尿劑,降血醫藥,去水腫,及各種胃藥.
飲食改變,運動,防跌, (讓妳容易跌倒的藥:鎮靜,感冒,憂鬱.)


颚骨坯死
http://www.drugwatch.com/fosamax/osteonecrosis/
用福善美越久,越有機會得到.大部份是去看牙醫,拔牙植牙,發炎不好而發現.莫克藥廠被告.有超過1000個cases告.莫克藥廠輸了好幾個cases,.花了幾千萬美金,目前官司未了.不是只有顎骨有問題,還有肩骨,股骨,膝骨也都會酸痛.

腿骨斷裂
http://www.nationalinjuryhelp.com/defective-drugs/fosomax/
2008年康乃爾大學發現服福善美者及腿骨無故斷裂的機率比不服用者多125倍.很多官司在進行中. 至少有4115個Lawsuits正在進行.

害人而且是鴕鳥式的醫生回答:高醫
http://www.kmuh.org.tw/www/kmcj/data/9904/6.htm

請問骨頭坯死怎麼處理?服Fosamax時怎能保證牙齒不出狀況呢?這種醫生太遜了.做球給誰打?

我的結論
如果妳看到這裡,還要用福善美,那就怕妳飛蛾撲火了,不然趕快多吃蔬菜,水果,豆子,种子,全穀物,少吃肉,不喝可樂,茶,咖啡,酒,煙.多運動,曬一點太陽.如果補充鈣及D,不要忘了鎂.
福善美讓清除舊骨的能力消失,骨頭大量流失的人可能短期有用,因有很多空間可填.新舊不必擠在一起.但不是極度流失骨質的人讓骨頭新舊擠在一起,就會引起結構改變,舊骨不去,新骨不生,而骨頭平空斷裂,坯死,酸痛的窘境.前几年美國女星Sally Field,60歲得Osteoporosis,替Boniva做廣告,很多人因此說她misleading!!因為有很多人也在告Boniva.
Fosamax 或是Boniva,通通不是好東西,妳要服它前,請好好考慮,三思再四思.
祝妳建康.

你出神了嗎? 談超意志力的 "良心﹔治百病"

都是你的心理作用   ---妻

舊緣
我最近看了幾本書,一本是美國醫生Larry Dossey的Healing beyond the body (2001).另一本是醫生Deepak Chopra 及 Ruldolph Tanzi合著的Superbrain (2014).

Healing beyond the body是在談mind超越肉体,能醫治肉體,使身體恢復健康的書.他認為信靠傳統醫生,既所謂的巫醫,也能治病.他本人就有過堅持吃符仔水治好疾病的個人体驗.他甚至於認為拜石頭而身体得醫治也是可行的,有道理的.

Superbrain事實上是在談心神,而不是在談腦.我們說mind,就是心神,或者心理.Drs. Deepak 及Tanzi不相信人死神滅.他們更進一步認為我們的心神能跟宇宙的創造主合而為一.

我認識這種 "藉禱告,觀想與創造主合而為一而支取神給的無窮的力量的說法",在幾年前讀Ann Wigmore的書The healing power within(1983)就知道了.但一直不敢去支取,Ann是基督徒,Larry也是,這樣看來與神合一,向神支取無限的力量及無限的祝福,似乎值得探討了.

在台灣最明顯的例子就是心理醫生許添盛的賽斯(Seth)學會.他的書暢銷得獎,他得病人尊敬,演講不斷,堂堂滿座. 追隨者無數.許醫師獨尊賽斯.賽斯材料的出版是由一對美國夫妻開始.他們原來在探究碟仙,想不到靈賽斯透過珍妮,講了數年的道,而由丈夫紀錄而成.其大意為物為心造,每–個人的實相就是他自已的心思意念造成的.(Consciousness creates matter, and that each individual creates his or her own reality through thoughts, beliefs and expectations.)
更進一步的說,每一個都是神,也是同一位神.生病者要樂觀,想自已就是萬有主宰的一部份,心存善念,病就得醫治.

在台灣另一個例子,長生學學會,是由林子珍,魏裕峰夫婦(?)創立的.他們不是醫生,但林子珍的哥哥是.原始者就是她的哥哥林子洪.長生學的最原始的創造者應是日本人臼井先生,長生學原來叫靈氣.臼井原是個基督徒,對於耶穌能按手治病深感神奇,於是各地訪查,最後開悟於西藏,而完成一手按天頂穴另一手按痛處的按手治療法.
更進一的說,按手者要心存慈悲,心念放鬆,自已只當一條管道,其醫病能源來自宇宙.

新機
以上是我一年多前寫的,未完成未發表的文章,這個禮拜看完Alexander Loyd的"Beyond Willpower" 2015,覺得是該把這文章完成了.(因緣俱足?)
Alex是一個心理學博士及自然療法醫生,他有二十几年醫病,諮詢的經驗.他歸納他的經驗如下:

1.認為潛意識的傷害或經驗(cellular memory)是一切疾病的來源.
2.愛是一切身体健康的泉源.傷害,害怕,黑暗深深的藏在人的潛意識裡,是人類百病之源.
3.意志力(willpower)再強,若潛意識的創傷打擊無法用愛去修補,終究無法健康而無病.
4.人的發病或情緒發作是因壓力而使身体的弱鏈斷裂.(弱鏈,weak link:有點像是人練功無法到達的罩門),Alex認為這是潛意識或無意識的潛變.
5.宇宙是能,E=mc**2. 人也是能. 人有–個看不到的良心、手指有能發出.良心的本質是善是愛.百病醫心.只要求良心的修復、不外求疾病的醫治.只要恢復美善之心、則百病全消.
6.自我恢復美善的心、恢復健康的身体有三大方法.
     A.增強身体的能量: 自我按手或旁人幫你按手 physical tool
         Alex認為雙手重疊交叉按在胸前,不動,或順時鐘或反時鐘揉動十五秒,總共約三分鐘最能加           強自我的能量. 第二個按手位置是額頭,第三個位置是頭頂.按手前先禱告,祈求讓你得到爰,          也 給別人愛.Alex說他是耶穌的跟隨者.但他認為沒有宗教信仰者,則心念集中在一個美善有          大爰的光中.
     B.心版坯舊憶的去磁、愛再重新刻劃在心上 ( reprogramming to the mind)  mind tool
         Alex花最大的篇幅在解釋舊憶的傷害,及愛再重新刻劃在心上的重要.他的方法很簡單但要            真誠,,心中有愛.每天數次向心灌輸:
        1.我期盼(I desire)從今﹞以後我是一個真我,不虛偽.
        2.我期盼(I desire)從今﹞以後我看我的生命不是基於害怕,疼痛.這樣我才有一個完整,最好的生            命.
        3.我期盼(I desire)從今﹞以後我的所思,所想,所行,相信,感覺,做認何事都是基於愛,不是基於怕            . 這個愛常存我心,我靈,我魂,我的意識,我的身体.
        基於相同原理,這些每天要心訴說的宣言尚包括安全感,不論斷,原諒,不自我否定,同情心、不         驕傲,信心、希望,快樂.
        他的本意是人的害怕的反面是愛.愛是真我,害怕是病毒.要過真愛的生活,一定要先去病毒,再         灌回真愛.
     C.心象的重塑 spiritual tool
         Alex 引經據典,說明人的心,回憶任何一件事都會有一個圖像.心象圖有二部分,一部份是意識         構成,另一部份是潛意識構成.潛意讖部份的心象我們看不到,但是在那裡,我們受其控制,Alex         認為改變意識心象,終會改變潛意識的心象.所以這個方法如下:
        1.內看一幅空白的圖框.
        2.禱告讓你看到一幅生病,生氣,害怕的心象.
        3.禱告讓你心中有爰,、這個圖象從你心中消失.
        4.內心想著一幅有愛,陽光,健康的圖象取代它.

以上是Alex醫生的醫百病的惟一良方. 他的秘密武器:人的生命有爰,才能真正有快樂.

我的評論:
到底心(mind) 是不是腦(brain)?Alex說不是.他說有一個心,另有一個靈. 事實上,mind and spirit在身体的那裡,沒人知道,mind及spirit是不是同樣一個也沒人說得清礎.但人有意識及潛意識是沒人否認.有時意識誤認.造成身心的創傷是常有的.這樣利用意識的重建, 愛,而影響潛意識更進而使身体健康,是正碓而值得吾人認真追求的.
Alex提到有一個實驗證明二個人雖粗淺認識,但放在二個隔離的空間而能互相感應的事 ( action of distance) 而說明人的靈是可遠距互感的.這使我想到一定要替別人禱告.
Alex的方法比其他人的說法簡單,嚴整而且可行而無窖.如果你將Alex的方法歸入能量醫學,也未嘗不可.能量足不足只問自己快樂不快樂,心中有沒有愛就知道了.不必儀器.自己也可以自己按手,也可以請別人幫你按手,只要心有愛就可了.我去銀髮中心或洗腎中心探訪,有時我會不知不覺的用手撫摸對方的手臂或手指,心裡只感到一股愛,由我手中流向對方.
來,讓我們一起來:心中有爰,流向自已,流向對方.

要有光 奇跡的光療法:近紅及遠紅外線的探討

神說"要有光", 就有了光.   創世紀一.3

腦決定身体的健康
今年四月一日由台東回來,看了不少書,其中一本由Norman Doidge 在2015發表的新書:The Brain's Way of Healing 引起我極大的興趣. 書名勉強可翻為"腦自己有自己醫治的方法".Dr. Doidge(多一級)醫生是多倫多大學的精神科教授,專精最先進腦的可塑性(neuroplasticity)的研究.他認為腦無論是車禍受傷,腦手術的傷害,中風半身痲痺,失智症,巴金遜症,自閉症,眼瞎,耳聾及各種疑難雜症都可能被治好:只要腦受到適當的訓練,或者利用儀器適當的刺激,都會醫治好病人.多醫生說故事的能力很強.全書描寫不少引人入勝怪病得醫治的個案.使我很著迷.他書中有二個主軸.第一,正向的腦思考會醫病是不容否定,具有科學的確據.人身体有病,不管病因為何,只要腦思想正常,腦門神經細胞就會再生,網路重構,而使身体恢復正常.第二,利用儀器會幫助腦的能力再生.他在第４章:Rewiring a Brain with Light,即利用光來恢復腦神經系統網路的連結,而使身体恢復健康.我今天要來跟各位談的就是這個光.(這個光療法,指的是近紅及遠紅外線療法.以後就統稱為紅光療法).


光療法 ( Low Level Light Therapy LLLT )
多醫生在第四章費了很多篇幅,談到一位女士,Gabrielle Pollard,因腦瘤手術後,手腳失靈,說話不行,吞嚥,睡覺,思想都不對,憂鬱,毛囊炎後受到Fred Kahn醫生用紅光醫治的故事.康醫生原是外科主任,動血管外科手術不下2萬次.但在20年前,肩部因滑雪受傷,正統醫學無法醫他,一位整脊醫生用一台老式的俄製低強度雷射照射五次就醫好他二年的痛苦.所以康醫生整個放棄外科手術的專業,而研究低強度雷射治療. Low Intensity Laser Therapy.
光是一種波,也是一種粒子,叫光子,Photon.波長以nm來算,可見光約從400nm到700nm,從高能量到低能量.從紫色光到紅色光.所以一般說來紅色光已經不怎麼熱了.近紅外線用在醫療上約為660nm,這種光還看得見,但能量少. 遠紅外線(﹔事實上840nm還是近紅外線)應該是看不見的光,其波長在840nm.能量更小. 所謂低強度雷射治療的儀器是利用雷射原理而能發出單一波長的能量的近紅或遠紅外線來刺激細胞.平常這種雷射也叫做冷雷射,有別於熱雷射,High Intensity Laser.這種high intensity laser用在手術上是會燒傷皮膚肌肉的.
近年LED興起,要得到紅光最簡單而便宜的方法即用LED.雖然LED無法供給單一波長光束如雷射,而且能量也比雷射小,但Hoon Chung認為二者的療效相似. Fred Kahn他是二者都用.所以我們直接稱為紅光療法.
我對LED的紅光療法最感興趣.因它便宜,可考慮DIY.以下我會儘量談LED的紅光療法.
根據Dr. Doidge的描寫,Dr. Kahn先用LED 660nm. 180 diodes 裝在一個信封大小的軟塑膠罝子上照射25分鐘,這個光束約可刺透身体1到2公分.再用LED840 nm照25分鐘.
然後他用相同波長的雷射各照7分鐘.注意:雷射光比LED光強度強.雖然Doidge一直強調個案療法及醫生的經驗,但他並沒有詳細說明至少一個case的Protocol.這讓我很失望.雖然Dr. Kahn出了三本書,但價錢太貴,而且看過的人也不覺得有參考的價值. (除非用Fred Kahn公司的產品),所以我不準備買.
算一算Dr. Kahn的LED板的功率:
一個美式信封 9.5 in x 4 in = 38 in2=245 cm2
一個diode 660nm or 840nm 假設8mW
               
180個 =1440mW
1440mW/245cm2 = 5.88 mW/cm2  ( ＞4.5mW/cm2 )

根據多醫生及康醫生,光療几乎可醫各種疾病.包括:
車禍受傷及後遺症
腦手術後的後遺症
神經末稍甚至於脊椎神經細胞再生聯結
軟骨磨損再生,傷口不癒合
各種疼痛炎症,包括風濕性關節炎,各種肌肉傷害
中風及心肌梗塞
化療及放療的傷窖.
很奇怪,多醫生沒談到癌的光療治癒案例.
根據多醫生,紅光治病的原理很簡單:
1.供給能量給細胞.
2.刺激神經再生.
2.消炎.
只要輕輕鬆鬆每次照射25分到1個小時,一個禮拜3次到5次,不到2個禮拜就知道好轉了(睡眠增加既好轉的症兆),而且治癒率奇高.


好,那讓我們來看看Hoon Chung等人的文章怎麼說.姜先生是韓人,是研究藥學的.發表一篇份量很重的"光療的全部細節"文章在美國生醫工程期刊. ( The nuts and bolts of low-level laser(light) therapy). 平常美國人說"Nuts and Bolts" 就是說"把事情說的一清二楚".所以我認為他們很自負.這篇文章的作者們是在美國研究光療有名的Wellman Center for Photomedicine做研究發表的.他們發很大的篇幅,想要來解釋光線與身体細胞之間的物理學及生理學顯然沒有成功,我看不出有什麼重大的意義,我覺得光療大部分是由trial and error得來的經驗,這也是為什麼很多醫生因弄不懂原理而不嘗試不相信的原因.而且多醫生(Dr. Doidge)也認為施治者的經驗很重要.
姜等人認為:
1.光影響肌骨,細胞,細胞分子.
2.認為光會增生細胞ATP,
3.抗氧,增氧
4.抗炎
5.增加新陳代謝
LED興起,OLED的發展更可能會取代雷射用在光療上.但姜等人並沒有將nuts and bolts說清楚,、這是很大的遺憾,我認為以後的發展會成為LED療法.
姜等人認為光療波長在600nm-1070nm之間(紅光及近紅光,red and near infrared, RED and NIR),基此,我們不能再叫遠紅外線了.600-700nm用在淺層皮及肌肉,700-770nm無用,780-950用在深層.

光療劑量
光強度(W)太高及太低都沒有療效.大部份說來,低劑量比高劑量有效的机會多.但因各種疾病變數多,各種儀器種類多,儀器本身變數多,本節討論困難,挑戰度高,所謂"buts and bolts"再度空有其名而無其實.

雙相反應 (Arndt-Schulz Law)
光能太低,光照時間太短都會無效,但反之,光能太強,光照太久也無效.

W(瓦) =J(焦爾)/t (時間秒)
10焦爾每點(1-2平方公分),如果每點50秒,則為.2瓦.
姜列出:
一般風濕,扭傷的照射:780-860 nm  5-500 mW  20-300sec   4-8 J
心肌梗塞  632.8nm 5mW, CW(連續波), 15 min  6/wk, 4wks, 
中風         808nm   700mW/cm2  1J/cm2   20點,每點2分鐘
以上為laser.
用LED只有以下資科:
慢性腦受傷後遺症 9x635nm 52x870 nm 12-15MW per diode 500 mW.

所以,用LED大概 淺層 635-660 nm   深層 840-870 nm 50 - 180 個 每個12-15mW 20分 6/wk 4wks

ＬED
GaAs    850-940 nm Vf@20mA  1.2V
GaAsP 630-660nm                     1.6V



商品
最便宜

如果以非LED商品來說,RubyLux Infrared Bulb NIR Near Infrared Individual Bulb一個才美金20元不到.利用平常電燈的插座就可了.該燈波長為850nm. 
(Amazon 有賣)我可能會買來試試.

660nm 38 LED 組合燈賣美金40元 
(http://www.light-therapy-led.com/products.htm)

655-675nm LED手電筒 台幣800元可當手攜式治療 ( PCHOME 有賣)
PCHome另有賣照蘭花用的VitaStar E27 每個1400元的深紅燈泡655-665nm似乎可用來人体照射.
似乎可與PChome on line 談spec.,這樣就可普及紅光及近紅療法.便宜,大碗,好吃,對各種病症有效的DIY就可期待了..

自製一個36 diondes 的近紅外線超過美金50元.
http://www.instructables.com/id/LED-Pain-Reliever/?ALLSTEPS

據目前所知几乎沒有住何副作用.但我不是醫生,若使用,自行負責.

結語
光療可行,但不必買貴的醫療儀器.自我用LED diodes組裝可行但困難度高,買LED燈泡,簡單,但台灣沒有NIR的LED燈賣,可商談廠商生產.

有人願意與我合作造福大眾嗎?我們可work out spec, 然後請廠家生產便宜適於自療安全的產品,(不難) 與醫院合作,做雙盲實驗.下列貴的商品美金近200元,我希望50元就可買到.


下面是最合我spec的商品,我可能會買來試試.

user review from Amazon on Fed Kahn's books

This guide gives a practical overview how to apply LLLT(LILLT) in specific conditions. The negative point is that it only describes the use of a specific device by a certain lasercompany. The book would certainly be of much more value if the treatment schemes were given in more general terms such as: use the following laser wavelenght (nm) (mono- or cluster)with this energy (J/cm2)continuous or pules (and if so with what frequency (Hz)mono or multi pulsed). That way the treatment schemes can be adapted to (or used for) all different brands of lasermachines.

長期疼痛,憂鬱,癌病同因嗎? 如何防治及治療

人不知醫則養生之道何以明?  錦囊秘錄 馮兆張

前幾個禮拜美國有名的笑匠Robin Williams自殺,引起全球的人的震驚,不捨.我看過他演的 Mrs. Doubtfire,也在電視看過他一些表演,知道他是一個很有表演才華的人.他自殺的起因是憂鬱,後他的太太又說他近期被診斷有巴金森症.他長期酗酒,生活不是很順.

我們小組也在二個禮拜前的聚會裡也談到Robin及憂鬱症這個疾病,根據當時我們的討論,好像大家對憂鬱症並不了解,憂鬱症好像是天生的,憂鬱症來了,大家都會束手無策.

我上禮拜去圖書館借了一本書:"Total Recovery" by Gary Kaplan,仔細閱讀之後,非常同意Gary醫生的看法,在此將讀後心得跟大家分享.

1.長期疼痛,不管是關節痛,肌肉痛,下背痛,上背痛,全身無名倦怠,腸漏,偏頭痛,手術後好了但手術部位繼續痛都可能因身体為保護自己而起的過度發炎.由腦中的mocroglia過度活動引起.

2.心靈受傷窖會轉為肉体的疼痛.

3.憂鬱症與長期肉体疼痛是一病兩症.

4.所有治憂鬱症的藥及治長期痛症的藥皆是治表症,反而會使病情加重.

5.事實上,安眠藥,既便是antihistamine,都對身体不好.

6.防治之道既在飲食.腸道健康為第一先.Gary醫生認為Gluten Intolerance是真的.身体出了問題,要６個禮拜gluten Free的飲食:只吃糙米,魚,雞,蛋,蔬菜及水果.然復再一樣一樣的慢慢的加回去,仔細觀察看有何不同.我不知道什麼原因他沒有地seeds and nuts加進去.他也沒說雞及蛋要free ranch,荷爾蒙及抗生素free的.魚也沒說要防重金屬污染,我看還是深海近北極的野Salmon, 鯖魚及沙丁吧.

7.嚴重者要吃藥就吃低劑量的Naltrexone.這個低劑量的Naltrexone我在幾年前就討論過.在美國只要每月15元,是相當安全的藥,每天睡覺前吃,會睡好覺,每天感覺良好.

8.嚴重者要吃鎂,這我以前的文章也專文提過鎂的重要及去Amazon買. Dr. Gary說有些他的病人久未懷孕,補充鎂後就有了,真的很神奇.

9.嚴重者要曬太陽,有充足的D.不然就吃D錠.

10.痛點要按摩,最好買一個直徑約1吋左右的橡膠球,不能太軟,再放在長統襪子裡.手拉著襪子,球在背後痛點處,人站著,身体壓著球,球再壓在牆面上,如此滾動擠壓.

11..心靈受傷窖者要找醫生及支持者支持及孔道吐口水.

12.Gluten既麵粉裡的麵筋,是兩種蛋白質組成.使麵粉會粘在一起的東西,在小麥,大麥,黑麥裡最多.會引起腸的各種症狀.叫腸漏gut leaking.

13.腸是第二個腦,免役系統及消化系統靠腸把關. My gut feeling既我小腸的自然感覺決定一切.一切健康決戰場既在腸.不管慢性病,慢性疼痛,憂鬱症,老人癡呆,巴金遜全在腸(腦)的健康.

14.小腸攤開有一個網球場長.腸內細菌應比身体細胞數還多.我們需要腸內有益菌.要活的.最可靠及簡單的方法是自製,如韓國﹔泡菜,德國酸菜.我太太是用榨汁機將甜菜頭壓榨,渣,汁一起放在Corning ware裡,夏天放在餐桌一二天冬天二三天就可放在冰箱,隨時取用.是她通便的妙食物.

15.長期受精神虐待,長期身休姿勢不對,常常受傷,身体為保護自已,過度反應,終成長期疼痛或(及)憂鬱症,失智症或者巴金遜症的患者.目前沒有直接叫Microglia不要過度反應的藥物.我們只有回到中醫的理論,將身体慢慢調回來,先調腸及精氣神的安適做起.

16.這几年西方醫學也慢慢認定長期發炎會致癌.這是個長期的研究.但總總蹟像都顯示出生活型態致癌的診斷.顧好身心靈的健康既是最正確的,而後百歲而去.

祝大家永離疾病.

全復原:

Total Recovery by Gary Kaplan, D.O. with Donna Beech, 2014  Rodale

How we get sick, Why we stay sick, How we can recover!!!

夢中找不到,夢醒愁悵

我什麼都記不得了 -89歲的伯母

2013年11月,我們開始去台東迦南銀髮中心做義工.每個禮拜三下午.由阮牧師帶我們.阮牧師是一個很體貼很有愛心的人.認識她真是我們的福氣.迦南銀髮中心是台東基督教醫院的一個附屬機構.四樓是給生活能自理的.五六樓的居民是需要護理人員照顧的,有術後復原者,中風,車禍復原者以及腦失能者.
雖然在德州時,有一段時間,我們會三不五時的去探訪一位不到六十就得到阿玆海默病的朋友, 自認對腦失能者有點認識,但第一次與阮牧師踏進六樓時,看到這麼多外觀與常人無異,但知道他們有失憶症的居民時,我們一時有不知如何應對之感.到底要跟他們說什麼呢?但看到阮牧師跟他們打招呼親切如常人時,我們馬上就安定下來.是了,失憶症者除了少數有躁動脾氣與行動有時會失控之外,大都平和如你我.
在那五個月,一禮拜一次的探訪中,我觀察到幾個現象:
1.失憶症者女大大的多於男
男生都到那裡去了?內政部公布民國100年,台北市平均壽命82.70歲、台東縣則為74.36歲.再以男女平均差七歲來估計,這樣台東縣男為71歲就死了.這樣可說明大部份失憶者是女性的原因了.
2.失憶者會感受到失憶的痛苦嗎?
我沒有機會問她們,我不知道.但根據我的觀察與跟她們的聊天,表面上我感覺不到她們失憶的痛苦.她們有些人話題不斷,不知是她們真實的經歷,或是編造的,有一位大姊(說不定比我年青),跟我聊了大半天,述說她得病的原因是工人鐵管掉下壓到她的腳造成她的坐輪椅.她告訴我她家人的狀況,兒子的孝順,撿漂流木省瓦斯錢的經驗.她有條不紊,理清詞順,到最後別人才告訴我一切都不是事實.但有些人只願片斷的跟我聊.其中就有一位大姊,只跟我談几分鐘,轉頭就走,然後又會回來跟我聊不同的話題.又有一些人無法或不想跟你聊天,你想跟她講,她會微微的笑著,或者好像沒聽到你在說話.但總的說,我沒看到失喪者的臉孔,沒聽到她們失憶的心聲.是早期的煎熬及痛苦已隨時日失去?
3.植物人的甦醒
我們探訪一位受電擊的中年人.剛開始探訪的前几次,他的眼珠不會轉動,全身僵硬.但阮牧師照樣對他親切有加,噓寒問暖,鼓勵他,安慰他.我會按摩他的手臂,握他的手指,當最後一次我們去看他時,我們也請另一位病友(車禍受傷左半邊手腳在復原中)來唱詩歌,幫他禱告,這時他已能眼珠轉動,挺起頸子,想要看我們了.
4.中心硬体很好
如果台灣老人照護中心都有這麼好,那勝過我拜訪過的美國照護中心太多了.採光好,空間適中,活動合宜. 伙食好像也很不錯.
5. 美中不足的地方
我不知道有否定時的帶他們去外面曬太陽,野外走動?有否想一些辦法讓病逆轉?有考慮養生的伙食?

我的父親得到失憶症,在不滿70時就過世了.但我的兄姊都超過70歲了,思路都還不錯. 我近年來,深感記憶力不如以前,有時一些人名會記不起來.所以厲行健康生活.養心臟,養腦,養生其實只有一個辦法:既以全食物素食為主的生活,再加上運動及朋友家人的相互關心.

昨晚做了個夢.夢中還在做電腦的工作,但在工作時一直要找一些資料但一直找不到.在極度沮喪中忽然夢醒.一看才早上四點.失憶者會一直去想他記不起的事嗎?夢醒愁悵還好,只怕夢中找不到是真的,是一永不醒的惡夢.

是為記

由腦內革命說起

這二個禮拜,由圖書館搬回幾本書:
腦內革命2 春山茂雄 1997 創意力出版
Joel Fuhrman 終結糖尿病 (The end of Diabetes:The eat to live plan to prevent and reverse diabetes) 2013 Harper One
完全治癒癌症手冊 間瀨健一 2000 世茂
Cured 治癒 Natthalia Holt 2014 Dutton

"治癒"這本書是談早期投藥及改變基因治HIV的書,與現今要談的無關,按下不表.

"完全治癒癌症手冊"這本書提到要治療癌症,第一要由心做起,病人的決心及施行毅力是最重要的勝利因素.但今天我們不談癌症.所以不詳談本書的內容.

"終結糖尿病",是用全食物加運動來治癒糖尿病的書.各位看官,糖尿病不改變飲食不運動,就一定會越來越嚴重,落到最後要抗糖劑越吃越重,打胰島素,截肢,失眠,洗腎.這不是危言聳聽,而是眾知的.但不管多嚴重,只要厲行全食物飲食,每天快走,根據Dr. Fuhrman,第一個禮拜就可完全停止使用胰島素,降糖藥減量,不到幾個月就可完全恢復健康不用吃藥打針.這樣又簡單又有效的事,大家為何不做呢?在施行間惟一需要注意的是怕血糖降的太快太低,所以降糖藥的減量一定要注意施行.最好跟家醫聯絡.
當我告訴我的朋友,說只要厲行全食物飲食,每天快走,這麼簡單,只要几個月,就能恢復健康,但竟然沒有一個人去做,一個人都沒有.因為我不是醫生所以沒人要聽?所以我們都需要腦內革命.今天就與大家談談腦內革命,讓我們來腦內革命一下.

第一個要腦內革命的:認識慢性病的藥終將無效
人人都有惰性,程度多少而已.年紀越大,惰性越高,最後變成老頑固.什麼都不想改,改變飲食?不過是要我少吃肉,免油炸的,重口味的,不要我吃白米飯,少油鹽.但是山珍海味,飯店小吃,不是都是葷的嗎?貢丸配啤酒,燒豬腳配紅酒,再加上美國牛排,不是人間美味嗎?炸魚炸雞排也不錯吧?炒肉絲不是肉.糖尿病,高血壓,骨質疏鬆,誰怕了?醫藥發達,吃藥就好.但你們可知道慢性病的藥,只能拖,終將無效?但改變有多難?

第二個要腦內革命的:以植物類全食物為主的飲食好吃又健康
你不一定要吃全素,但要少吃雞鴨肉魚.全食物為主的飲食真的是好吃又健康,請給自己二三個月的時間試試就知道了.非吃肉請儘量吃吃草的,放養的.但要不吃肉,不吃甜食有多雞

第三個要腦內革命的:安靜做腹部深呼吸
大家都知道腹部深呼吸的好處但極少人做,為什麼?因為要改變生活習慣很難.

當然還有很多方法可使身心靈健康.但沒有一項不是需要改變想法或習慣的.

是了,說了半天,就是改變習慣實在太難了!!!

我們能改變習慣嗎?
我在google用"how to change habit to become a better me"去查了一下,共有4,840,000條.最重要的包括:

觀察自已: observe
知道某些事情的重要性:aware
寫日記:write
定期做:schedule

每天照鏡子
每天洗完澡一定要全身光光照鏡子,看看全身有什麼需要讚美的地方.不要吝惜開口自我稱讚.如果看見的是滿身橫肉,或者像隻大肚魚而不知自我改進那就沒辦法了.

當知道身体有腫瘤而不能割除時

現今腦部手術技術很發達几乎各種腫瘤都能割除,但若無法動手術,要怎麼辦??
1.心象要建立,請不要慌張,每天肯定自已,要正向思考.
2.禱告祈求後,要常常謝恩.同樣的祈求不需一直求.
3.要相信健康飲食會讓腫瘤縮小.
4.五白絕對不碰:白糖,白鹽,白米,白麵粉,牛奶.
5.綠色蔬菜第一名,再來其它顏色的蔬菜,再來各類豆子.
6.黑豆第一名.余步桃稱黑豆加當歸煮湯是排毒聖品.
7.再來才是各種水果及堅果及種子.
8.再來是各種全殼類.
9.蛋白質要由植物,而不是由動物來.
10.儘量不吃肉.魚也要少吃.最好暫時整個不吃.非要吃,一禮拜最多魚二次,一次2oz.魚要深海野抓的鮭魚.
11.每天走路至少40分鐘.每天做伸展操,讓一些平常沒用到的肌肉有運動到,可以長肌肉.
12.每天練習腹部呼吸.
13.海帶多吃.鹽用Kelp替代.
14.有人說有機味噌及納豆最好,但黃豆不是豆,如果有疑問,不如不吃.Wholefood有賣不是黃豆的Miso.
15.聽怡情悅性的音樂,冥想快樂的事.
16.能吃有機就吃有機.
17.讓你伴侶每天幫按摩.俯臥.沿著脊椎兩側約一吋寬由上往下指壓.有些地方按壓會痛就接壓多個幾秒.

以上,事實上是健康生活的老生常談.不管任何疾病,都當如此行.你一定聽過好几次了.但每個人有他生活的不同,並沒有這樣做.我今天不厭其煩,再列出供你參考.

對了,中醫有一方叫"仙方活命飲",是治腫瘤的第一方,裡面有聖經提到的名貴禮物:乳香,沒藥.你可網路搜尋一下.再跟醫生討論.

祝你早日恢復健康

狼瘡,風濕性關節炎及各種免疫力失調的治本:食物療法

今年在台東時,知道有一位牧師的太太正在台北治療狼瘡.幾乎每個禮拜都要去醫院量指數.回到美國,知道另一位牧師的太太也深受手腳風濕性關節發炎之苦.她給我看她發炎,有點變形的手指,述說無法爬樓梯之苦.是的,我也知道我姪女的二個小孩手腳關節也都發炎發癢,鼻子極端過敏,這些都是自体免役力攻擊自己的結果.怎麼辦?西醫的療法就是用藥壓制免疫力(immunosuppressive drugs).

壓制免疫力的藥對病人常期來講是幣多於利:
1.免疫系統受損,無法正常抗發炎,修補受損的身体.
2.得癌症的比例大大升高.Remecide超毒的.
3.抗風濕性關節炎的藥很傷肝.

有很多醫療文獻報告,最好的辦法,也是最有效的辦法,就是全食物療法.如果你有機會看我的部落格,就會知道幾乎所有疑難雜症及各種慢性病,只要吃全食物,規律運動,曬太陽及維持心的健康都會逆轉勝.我特別推崇Joel Furhman,M.D.的網頁:

http://www.drfuhrman.com/default.aspx

1.他提到好坯食物的排行榜:
2.綠色葉菜 100
3.綠色非葉菜 97
4.非綠非澱粉菜 50
5.真正豆子 48
6.水果 45
7.澱粉類菜 35
8.全穀物 (不精製的五穀) 22
9.生的種子堅果 20
10.魚 15
11.脫脂奶製品 13
12.野放的肉類 11
13.蛋 11
14.紅肉 8
15.全脂奶製品 4
16.起士 3
17.精製五穀 2
18.精製油 1
19.精製甜點 0

*魚不錯,但污染太嚴重,少吃
*野放的肉及蛋可偶而吃,有丰富的Omega 3.
*全食物素食最好,如果怕缺B12,可有時補充nutritional Yeast 或 Brewer Yeast. Wholefood有賣.
*我不贊成脫脂奶製品排在野放的肉類及蛋的前面.
*不用白鹽,用粗的海鹽,不用白糖,用糙蔗糖或糖蜜,油用冷壓有機的苦茶油,椰子油,橄欖油,麻油
*10到13少吃.14以下可不吃最好不吃.

我在台灣的觀察,人民外食,吃的食物都是下半部的食物,而且烹調不當,潻加物太多.外食是生病及致癌的主因.
各位朋友,我知道改變生活習慣很難.但為了健康的緣故,一起來吧!!只要給自已三個月,吃全食物(有机最好)及每日健走一小時,就能看到成果.
祝你健康.

癌症復發或已擴散的治療福音:免役力療法及熱療法 (醫療難民的第四種療法)

你們要進窄門.
引到永生,那門是窄的、路是小的、找著的人也少.馬太福音 7 14

我最近看了日本醫生,吉水信弘 (Nobuhiro Yoshimizu)寫的一本有關他有效的治療癌症的書,覺得很有意思,可以跟大家分享及探討.這本書只有158頁,出版於2008年9月.

根據我的了解:
1.吉水信弘醫生寫這本書的目的雖是給–般人看,但有很多方法是只在該醫院才能做的,在家的病人無法自己做.有些東西在台灣也可能買不到.本書給在台灣的癌症醫生看可能更有意義.若沒人翻譯,說不定我可試著來翻.台灣真正需要有這樣的診所及醫生.
2.用正統的手術,化療及放療來治療癌症,終有60到 70%復發.這是他的看法,真的嗎???
3.他所謂的第四種療法就是免役力療法.
4.免役力療法包括飲食,禁食,心靈療法及熱療法.
5.熱療法有好幾種,包括可見光療法,石頭療法以及用一種產品叫做Biomat.
5.熱療原理:正常体溫37度,癌細胞死亡溫度40.6度,健康細胞到43度還不被傷害 ( 根據Issels醫生)
6.他書中提到的熱療方法為Thermotron,熱浴,遠紅外線原理的商品 Biomat 以及用藥使人体發燒.
7.Biomat 是美國FDA批准,利用紫水晶及電氣石增強熱效.在美國有很多人賣,是Richway公司的產品.總公司是韓國人開的.一部連運費超過美金1600元.今年1月FDA發警告函給該公司.吉水醫生與該公司有無利益挂勾不得而知.
8.雖然該書書寫對癌症的治療還算不錯,但缺少像Gerson及Issels的書對個案詳列.而且該書開始就有很多用Biomat治好各種癌症的見證.很人懷疑該書的目的.但看該醫生的學經歷及該書內容又不像騙人的.現在台灣騙子那麼多,大家還是小心一點的好.
9.書中是教人要健康飲食,排毒,低劑量化療及熱療–起做.但見證很多只用Biomat.
10.Biomat便宜可每天做,沒有副作用,當天就有感覺.用時要有健康的飲食及健康的生活型態.吉水醫生強調只要能走而且有一個好胃口就能贏得健康.
11.他認為南瓜子,薑黃及薏仁是抗癌食品.他也認為多醣食品有良效.Omega3與Omega6要達到1:1 或1:2.認為不要吃肉要吃秋刀魚等富合Omega3的魚.
12.我花了幾個小時想找一些對Biomat的研究及療效的報告,但找不到,找來找去就是那本吉水醫生的書,使我很失望.
13.根據美國國家癌症機構(National cancer Institute),熱療配合化療或放療更好.熱療的方法很多,包括超音波,微波,熱蒸汽箱,熱水氈子,但不知為什麼,並沒有將遠紅外線的方法列入.
14.根據台灣遠紅外線達人的說法,近紅外線是靠熱效應治病,只能穿透人体幾公分,但表皮易燒傷,只能治療15分鐘以內.遠紅外線琲靠熱效應治病,乃靠波治病,沒有熱,照射的地方要裸露,不能覆蓋衣物.可以長久照射,不會燒傷.
15.但是Biomat可調在40度或70度,40度使人舒服,而70度使人全身發熱而且使用時並沒有全身裸体,而且有所謂的負離子.我也不知道調在70度是什麼意思,想必是攝氏吧!但70度人體一定受不了,而且癌細胞死亡溫度40.6度更不需耍太高溫的.
16.這樣看來,Biomat的原理及使用實有必要更深入的探討,有誰能回答這個問題呢?
17.台灣遠紅外線達人就是寬頻醫學科技公司的負責人.該公司生產寬頻遠紅外線照射儀,跟一些醫生合作,發表了幾篇論文.但因不是靠熱效應,在治癌的成效就不知道了.這些論文再次證明用波來刺激身體的細胞有助氣血的循環.如是看來,買一部低價位的TENS應可達到相同的療效.(TENS，中文名稱為「痛止」)請參考我以前的文章.
18.沒有辦法再靠正統的手術,化療及放療來治療癌症的病人,吉水信弘醫生稱他們為醫療難民.
19.Biomat的加熱原理真的是遠紅外線嗎還是普通的電氈?說不定普通的電氈就好了(可能溫度不能高到殺死癌細胞?),普通的電氈就便宜太多了.我看遠紅外線的紫水晶電氈需更進一步了解.
20.在亞馬遜購物網有不少對Biomat的評論,大部分買來治或舒緩疼痛,都給與五顆星的評价.也都說感覺不像普通的Heating Pad.
21.如需購買,要由Richway的Distributor.切記.
22.根據吉水信弘,Biomat的遠紅外線波長在8~12μm,沒有電磁波.負離子產生.溫度在35度C到70度C.深透人体14到15公分.是幅射熱能,能振動人体細胞.Biomat放在70度,50分鐘,体溫會在39到40度C.有很多人受不了而放棄,但撐過一次之後就適應了.

結語:
熱效應治癌可坐浴,蒸汽浴,熱浴.Biomat似乎可行.台灣到現在沒人賣,我覺得很奇怪.近紅外燈不能全身加熱.寬頻的遠紅外線可增加照射地方的血液循環,而達到治病的果效.但寬頻沒有治癌報告,也不能照射全身.

台東的生活(3)

在台東當移民的時候,最享受的活動,就是去聖母健康會館用餐,去牧心買麵包,逛有機市集


台東聖母健康會館
當我們初抵台東的當天,黃教授就帶我們去牧心餐廳用餐及買麵包.同一個禮拜又帶我們去聖母健康會館用午餐.真的要感謝他,如果台東沒有牧心麵包店及聖母健康會館,我們的生活一定遜色不少.聖母健康會館座落在台東南京路上.前面道路寬廣,又有很寬的人行道.聖母健康會館就座落在花園裡.會館建築高眺高雅,桌椅高雅舒適,用餐環境安靜优雅.我們經常在禮拜六接近十二點的時候到達台東農會超市前的台東有機協會辦的有機市集逛逛,跟活泉農場的林先生聊聊,然後在他收攤後一起去台東聖母健康會館用餐.聖母健康會館的午晚餐,菜色差不多一樣,全素食,油鹽很少,自然天然.非常健康好吃.早餐的選項更多而且价錢更便宜.(但因一大早起來,走二十來分鐘的路去吃一頓早餐後不能馬生做其它的事,所以我們只去了一次.) 但因健康會館的菜色變化很少,而且沙拉的調味醬只有一二種,而且很淡,要每天去吃,有太大的挑戰性.有時一禮拜去一次都覺得太多了.健康會館也有賣有機麵包,但因麵包很鬆軟,我太太不喜歡.(鬆軟的麵包大概只用一小塊麵團,讓它發很大吧)我們較偏愛紮實的麵包.健康會館也有一些書及報紙供顧客閱讀.但有時會覺得在那麼优美的用餐環境中看報紙有點不相襯.我家裡不訂報紙,有幾次想看一不報紙,但不想影響別人,終究沒有看.

牧心餐廳及麵包店
牧心餐廳在火車站附近,謝謝黃教授帶我們到這裡.是我們初抵台東第一次進餐的地方,我叫了台東的名產鬼頭刀.鬼頭刀魚真是好吃.飯後隨即在隔壁買了些麵包.牧心的餐點及麵包健康好吃,不止價錢公道,而且可以幫助他們訓練一些身心較特別的人在餐飲上工作的實務.雖然餐廳離東海國宅很遠,我們無法走路去那裡用餐,但牧心有一間麵包店在農會超市附近,我們常去那裡買麵包.牧心的麵包紮實好吃,又比較低糖低鹽.我真的不明白為何台灣大部份麵包店賣的麵包都那麼鬆軟,高糖高鹽高香料.而且特愛奶精乳酪.更甚的,不法商人怎麼那麼多,人工香精,毒塑化劑,到處都是.台灣善良的人民都走樣了嗎?

台東的有機市集
在台東我們去過三個有機市集:台東農會前的有機市集,聖母健康會館前的有機市集以及台東大學創新育成中心前的有機市集.這三個市集,以台東大學前的有机市集較大.台東農會前的有機市集及聖母健康會館前的有機市集是禮拜六擺攤,而台東大學前的有机市集是禮拜天. 所以台東農會前的有機市集的商家大部分禮拜天也在台東大學前擺攤.農家不多,相對的新鮮的農產品樣式也較少.但我們喜歡這種悠閒的氣氛.與農家閒聊,有時品嘗一些時新的水果,買一些放在背包裡,然後再去聖母健康會館吃午餐,乃人生一樂也.

鵝肉,米苔目,臭豆腐,及東河包子
大家都知道台東市有名的小吃除了池上便當之外,鵝肉,米苔目及臭豆腐也都很有名.十幾年前我們初遊台東時,我二哥帶我們去吃鵝肉,我以為是美味.但這次去,感覺上肉質太軟,好像新鮮度也不夠.至於米苔目及臭豆腐,頗有聞名不如見面的感覺.店的乾淨及整潔,桌椅餐具實有很大需要改善的空間.至於東河包子,三家店都有人帶我去.我比較喜歡在裡街的老店.我們幾個人由七塊厝出來,每人叫二個包子當午餐,邊吃邊聽曾先生及傳先生談台東的人文地理,真人生一樂也.

美麗灣大酒店
台東的海岸線很純樸,海岸大都是岩岸,短短的,一下子就是灰黑色的海洋.很少有沙灕.但台東的杉原溪例外.美麗灣大酒店就座落在此.依我的看法,該渡假村蓋的太近海了,而且該棟大樓與週圍環境很不合協.到底沙岸是誰的呢?是公眾設施還是私人設施?我們台灣為什麼那麼多民宿溫泉旅館不好好先通過環評再來開發?而環評前為何不先辦公聽會?但以另一方面來考量,台灣人民對環評結果幾乎無法信任..台灣人這幾十年的演變幾乎是開倒車的.前幾天新開報導,屏東恆春的民宿及中橫附近的民宿差不多都不合規定.政府又不敢拆除.只能輔導.如是看美麗灣渡假村,該事件只是突顯台灣人無法先公正做環評,依環評結果再決定是否興建的簡單邏輯而已.

再談老人癡呆的治療-全食物療法

如何評估你的家人是否有老人癡呆?

美國華盛頓大學做了一份叫做AD8的訪談評估表:
1.判斷的能力出了問題(做決定有困難,做了坯的金錢上的決定,或者思考有問題)
2.對以往熱衷的活動或嚐好失去興趣.
3.說話一再重覆.
4.忽然對使用工具發生困難.(使用微波爐,電話,遙控器有困難)
5.忘了年月.
6.記帳報稅有困難.
7.約會的事情整個忘了.
8.每天對思想及記憶都發生問題.

得分0-1為正常.諸位朋友,如果以這個評估表來自我評估,我們都有失智的傾向了.只是程度問題而已.難怪說,失智是要經過幾十年的演化才到不能自理的地步.但如果現代人飲食不改,失智者年齡層一定會往下掉,像糖尿病患者一樣.


蘆薈多醣類複合營養品在失智上的治療成果

我以前寫過美國小兒科醫生新港瑪麗(Mary Newport)用榔子油治療她先生失智的報告.我也寫過Dr. Roy Swank 用素食治療多發性硬化症的文章.我最近看了Dr. John E. Lewis, University of Miami教授的報告,讓我感到有必要再來談論這個影響你我未來的威脅:老人癡呆的問題.
魯意斯教授 (不是醫生吧)( 精神與行為科學系),專門研究替代療法(complementary and integrative medicine).他在2013年發表一篇報告在失智期刊上( Journal of Alzheimer Disease).這篇文章引起我的注意是因為他不用藥而是用一種健康食品叫New Eden.讓37個病人吃一年,每天吃4茶匙的粉沖水或果汁喝或加在食物裡.有46%的病人對標準認知的測驗有門顯的進步.這種New Eden的補品的成份為:米糠Stabilized rice bran, 落葉松樹纖維larch tree fiber, larch tree soluble extract, 半胱胺酸cysteine, 大豆卵磷脂soy lecithin, UltraTerra* calcium alumino silicate(這是什麼?),蘆薈粉 aloe leaf powder, 櫻桃餡餅粉cherry tart powder, 肌醇六磷酸inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), 番薯粉discorea (yam) powder, omega III spherules,檸檬酸 citric acid, 葡萄糖glucosamine.我無法查到每樣的含量.魯意斯教授說是蘆薈多醣類複合營養品(aloe polymannose multinutrient complex (APMC)).但依我看就是多醣類的食物及纖維.

讓我們來探討一下.糖尿病患者無法正常新陳代謝醣類,所以我有朋友不吃米麵但其他食物照吃.雖然天天吃藥,也不夠是減緩惡化而已.但是有夠多的確據,吃全食物(蔬菜水果,全穀類,豆子堅果種子),及少吃或不吃肉(如果你吃一點肉,一定要吃"吃草"野放的牛羊豬雞)就可逆轉糖尿病2型.諸位看官,你知道嗎,吃全食物也就是吃多醣類複合營養品!!失智病人現在被稱為糖尿病第3型.如果魯意斯教授的報告屬實,那吃全食物也就能逆轉勝失智症.很可惜的,魯意斯教授知識不夠,其研究竟然沒有在全食物上下功夫.

我們知道人的第二個腦就是腸.當美國人說my gut feeling時,頗有豪氣干雲之感.當一個人肝膽相見時,說的也就是這個gut.所以無疑的,腸道的健康必能使腦健康.既第二個腦與第一個腦的健康是一致的.而全食物才能使腸健康.但全食物怎樣使身体健康呢?因為多醣的食物及多醣的纖維才能調節小腸的碳水化合物的吸收及供給細胞需要的其它營養品.(單醣食物大部份為加工食物,一下子就被腸吸收進入血液,又沒有其它營養品配合,如各種植物素)


檢討Dr. Newport用榔子油治療她先生失智

人体真的很奇妙.人体在缺少醣時,會分解脂肪來得到能量.人体在不能用醣時,一樣會分解脂肪來得到能量.分解醣需要氧,但分解脂肪就不要.但利用分解脂肪來得到能量不是常態,是一種臨時的保命措施.跑馬拉松者跑到最後上氣不接下氣,氧氣吸不上,血醣用完了,這時身體就會去分解脂肪.或者幾天沒吃東西後身體也會開始分解脂肪.新港醫生認為失智者的腦細胞死亡是因無法分解醣.但人腦如果由血液中得到一種叫做MCT ( 中鏈三酸甘油脂)的油脂,腦細胞就能分解它而得到所需的能量,腦細胞就不會死.而自然的椰子油就是這種油.所以新港醫生餵她先生每天二湯匙椰子油(混在食物裡)已有數年.她先生的惡化明顯的減慢許多,甚至逆轉.但分解脂肪而得到所需的能量終不是原始人体的設計.乃是人体一種保命的緊急機制.用久了終會失效.所以我認為新港醫生的知識也不夠,其研究竟然沒有在全食物上下功夫.

我的建議

我最近覺得我的記憶力不及從前很多,與朋友談起,很多人也都有這種感覺.有多少次你的朋友不是一再的向你訴說用一件事? 多少次你會想不起某人的名字?
不要灰心,讓我們一起來,勵行全食物(whole food)的飲食,愛己愛人.
多醣類食品以米糠,菇最多.枸杞也很多.但食物到底還是以全食物為首要.還有,不要忘了運動.每天至少30分鐘的運動做到至少微微發汗.慢跑或者快走最好.

台東的生活(2)

寧願燒盡,不願朽壞 (Rather burn out than rust out)


台東馬偕醫院
在台東時,我們每個禮拜去馬偕醫院的洗腎室幫忙二個半天.由豐里橋起,沿著北岸堤防往西走,不到十分鐘就到了馬偕醫院.一進了大門,往左看,就會看到很多人在等拿藥.每天都如此.洗腎室在六樓.我們如果是早班,由八點半到十二點,如果是下午班,由二點到五點半.做的工作:

去一樓領藥含口服藥及針劑
去二樓腎臟門診科拿估價單再拿去一樓估價再拿藥
去藥庫領洗腎室需要的補充品(大樓外面的房間及地下室餐廳旁的房間)
蓋使用截上日期在用品上
剪膠帶.每一段剪下來的其實是一個塑膠套,要將針筒塞到中間,外面再蓋品名.(這個工作污染較嚴重,因剪膠帶時會有很多塑膠屑,會污染桌子及衣褲,剪時也要帶口罩)
撕洗腎用生理鹽水的外層塑膠袋(這個工作也有污染,因要一個個撕開,可能有殘屑或氣体釋出,而且這個工作量很大,因每個病人每次都需要一袋.每一箱有二十幾袋要撕,一次要撕好幾箱,每一箱很重,搬轉困難)
偶爾推病人去坐巴士回家
偶爾幫有需要的病人登記体重
偶爾將用剩的各種不同濃度的食鹽水倒在一個桶子裡
其它一些雜事,例如中翻英,登記整理病人資料在小紙上,或幫忙推病人去急診室或回病房

這樣的工作使我們對洗腎室有一個很好的瞭解.人一開始洗腎,就年復一年的洗下去了,再也無法逆轉勝了.平常隔天洗一次,每次約洗三個小時左右.這是一個不幸的事實.
我在這數個月中,雖然知道很多病人的長相及特徵,但只結識一個病人.這位大姊年紀七十幾歲,住在池上關山地區.在洗腎的那一天,一早起來就準備來洗腎了,坐一二個小時的車到馬偕,十一點左石在醫院買一個便當吃.下午十二半以後進入洗腎室,下午開始洗腎,五點半左右下樓去坐巴士,下午七八點到家.如是的日子不知過了多少寒暑.有一天,我問她,妳洗多久了,她說不能說.她的小孩都沒跟她住在一起,倒有一個弟弟去跟她住,照顧她.她說有時身体不舒服要救護車載去附近的軍醫院急救.所以洗腎的人不止每兩天要花一天在洗腎上,而且要應付抽筋,血糖,休溫,心臟的各種突發狀況.台東馬偕醫院的洗腎病人每天約有140人左右.分三班.

我們來看看台灣的洗腎的情形.
根據陳博士的聊天室(陳俊旭)的報導:
美國2007年公布全球尿毒排行榜台灣的盛行率和發生率都是世界第一
盛行率=洗腎病患占總人口比例
發生率=每年新增加的洗腎病患占總人口比例
2007年台灣洗腎的盛行率每百萬人口1902人
2011年台灣健保每年給付洗腎費用NT308.5億
2012年全台共有6萬6千多人在洗腎

根據 The annual Fresenius Medical Care market survey 2011 年的報導:
2011年台灣洗腎的盛行率每百萬人口增加到2800人,台灣穩居世界第一名,日本為2500人 第二名,美國為2000人,第三名,第三名比第四名(1600)高很高 ( "ESRD patients in 2011, a global perspective" ) 這個數字太高,我存疑.

根據United States Renal Data System 2012的報告
台灣在2010年的發生率是每百萬人口有361人,僅次於美國的369人.(日本為288人)(台灣在2008年後的發生率突降很多,不知為什麼,更低於2001年的數據)


根據1998到2008資科,台灣人正在洗腎中平均年齡為61歲,女略多於男,一半以上有糖尿病 ( Paper report )

台東的情形:
中央健保局東區分局經理呂穎悟說台東洗腎頻率全台最高.我不知道洗腎頻率是什麼意思?大概是盛行率 ( 我也找不到台東目前有多少人洗腎,但以五家醫院,約有354人估計,台東縣有22.5萬人,這樣台東洗腎的盛行率每百萬人口1573人,比全國1902人低.所以我的估算偏低)
台東縱谷五鄉沒有洗腎中心,根據慈濟醫院的說法,是找不到專任醫師.我在台東馬偕醫院,每天病人多的不得了.每次我去領藥處領藥都要排隊.領藥處的前後台藥師個個動作都很快速.這樣的工作,除了錢較多次,其工作內涵,有趣度及成就感實比7-11的超商工作人員低.台灣這麼多病人,養了這麼多工作人員及醫院,健保不倒也困難.但護士薪水低工作忙沒人喜歡做,但錢跑去那了?台灣拚命蓋醫院,我想目前不知還有那個醫院,不向健保及病人收錢的?所謂慈善醫院,像目前的馬偕或慈濟是虧錢在做慈善,濟世活人,還是向健保要錢,全民買單?
現在的台灣已經不是台灣錢淹腳目的時代,也不是克苦耐勞,行善不欲人知的時代了.許多人浪費政府所給的福利.得到的福利沒人要減少.政府倒了,我看人民也不會後悔的.政府無能不大力提倡簡單的飲食,健康衛生的飲食,其實不是政府的問題,其實政府既代表人民. 毒澱粉,毒人工香料,毒‧蔬菜水果,毒中藥西藥,毒紙杯全部是我們同胞的傑作.台灣就是詐騙人的王國.

我們要怎麼改呢?

台東的生活(1)

退休後,你也不能每天遊玩 -豐里橋西北岸堤防草皮守護者


去台東當移民
我去年(2012)十一月過完感恩節後退休.蒙在台東大學任教的蕭老師的邀請,於十一月底,去台東當移民.今年四月中離開.以後也想如此.每年十一月到隔年的四月住在台東.在台東的日子我住在東海國宅社區.一棟四層樓高的雙拚房子.我們任在三樓.東海國宅社區附近環境优美,座落在豐里橋東南岸堤防的南面.不止社區路面整潔乾淨,附近還有一個很大的社區活動中心,活動中心不止有一大片草坪,還有黃土網球場,籃球場,室內羽毛球館及室內乒乓球館,並有一個課輔教室.每天黃昏都看到有人在那片草坪上溜狗.在太平溪河床裡也住了很多野狗.有時野狗也會跑到草坪上來.所以豐里橋的東南岸平常會見到不少野狗及家狗.住在台東的時候,我們沒有任何交通工具,充分享受二條腿走路的甘苦.在台東的日子,除了每星期有二個半天我與我太太會去台東馬偕醫院的洗腎室做義工之外,我的日子大都在台東大學,特別是在防災中心度過.我在這裡要感謝在台東大學認識的很多位老師,學生和職員,並特別感謝防災中心的王主任及同仁.他們不止讓我在防災中心有個辦公室,他們深厚的友情更讓我永難忘懷.

豐里橋
東海國宅是座落在豐里橋的東南岸的堤防旁邊.我們每天要去台東大學或馬偕醫院,會先走一段堤防,就到了中華路的豐里橋. 右轉通過豐里橋,左轉穿過中華路,再右轉前走約十分鐘就到了台東大學.如果要去馬偕醫院,我們只要沿著北岸堤防,由豐里槁往西走,約八分鍾就到了.如果要去市中心,我們會走中華路再左接正氣北路在誠品書局前方左轉穿越一小段鐵路步道就到了農會的超市.所以說我們每天都會走過豐里橋欣賞太平溪的風光.太平溪平常流量很小,但橋面很寬,我想是颱風來臨時,流量一定變大很多.在河床上平時有人放養水牛,有–些鳥又喜歡跟著水牛走動,亦步亦趨,有時也會停在牛背上,成為一幅野趣又閒適的圖畫.站在豐里橋上,往東看去看不到太平洋的.因前方尚有個外環路的混凝土橋擋住視線.但往西看去,倒可看到中央山脈.在天氣好的時候,中央山脈相當美麗.大体說來,豐里橋河床步道及河堤提供一個附近居民散步慢跑的好地方.但豐里橋本身實在不算漂亮,周圍景觀建築也不美,尤其往東北岸看去,更是礙眼.如果你沿北岸河堤往東走,約十分鐘可抵太平洋.河堤在跟外環的交叉點就斷了.這一段的河堤一點都不美.由外環路的混凝土橋到太平洋岸,更是一段非常污染的地段,入海的溪水及附近地面更有待整治.更有甚的,經中華路通過豐里橋車子又很多,所以每一次我們–走到中華路要開始過豐里橋時都要掛口罩.所以要站在豐里橋上欣賞太平溪並不是很適切.

由豐里橋到台東大學 ( 中華路的吃 )
中華路由豐里橋走到台東大學只要十分鐘就到了.但因中華路汽車及摩托車很多,路旁也停了很多車,又加上我走路喜歡看東看西,這一小段中華路走起來就蠻有挑戰性的.這一小段路開有不少商店.有–些店給我的印象很深刻.這一小段路共有三間檳榔攤.檳榔攤在台東市有很多,台東有很多人嚼檳榔.據說吃檳榔,飽後食會消,飢前食會飽,醒時吃會醺,醉後吃會醒.如果不以健康來考量的話,檳榔想必很好吃,林光中曾撰文讚美檳榔的美味.但吃檳榔抽香煙及喝洒對身体健康最傷.檳榔這行業是全台單一宗最大的農業.但吃檳榔引起的醫護成本也可能是最大的.我觀察每間店,店內平常都會有一個婦人坐在一張桌子上,不停的在包檳榔.顧客會開車或騎摩托車來購買.這三間生意都非常好.台灣要健康,我們要在檳榔的栽種,行銷多加研究外,並要對上癮者如何戒除上有鼓勵及有醫療所.政府更要對轉耕者輔導.這段路有一間台東有很多分店的糕餅店希拉蕊.希拉蕊的西點是標準的台式西點,麵包鬆軟,比較甜也比較油.我並不喜歡.但這種台式糕點全台皆是.我們在台東較常去的糕餅店叫牧心.這間店的西式麵包較合我們的口味,也較合我們的健康原則.在正氣北路跟中華路的交叉口上有一間店很小但生意很不錯的烤鴨店.這個烤鴨店有二個人在經營,中午的時候經常看到他們坐在狹窄的店內用餐.門口有二個烤爐,早上他們會放鴨子進去烤,因為時間不對我尚沒有聞過烤鴨的味道.也尚沒有机會品嘗.由外觀看來這裡的烤鴨跟廣式的烤鴨是不一樣的.這一段路又有一間很有名氣的池上便當店.聽說他們的招牌便當最有名.我在台東吃過幾次便當,也吃過二次這間的便當.但我並沒有感到特別好吃.因我不喜歡飯被壓在便當盒裡,吃起來黏黏的不冷不熱的感覺.這段路有一間叫做不喝不行的快炒店,晚上經常高朋滿座.但可惜的在對街,不喝不行店貼有一則不得在此嘔吐的廣告.因為這個不喝不行的店名及不得在此嘔吐的標示,我對這間店印象特別深.在靠近台東大學的右側路邊,在今年初停靠了一輛機動早餐車.賣的是蛋餅,飯糰之類的早餐.東西就統統放在一部發財車上面.我每天早上約八點出頭去台東大學的途中會經過那裡,每次見面我們會彼此問安.有一次他告訴我,他每天早上三四點就要起來準備食物.早餐賣完就沒有再做其它的事.雇請–個幫手有困難.因要早起,事忙而且每天只有幾個鍾頭.工資又沒法給高(大概100元一個鍾頭).在這簡短的對談中使我明白升斗小民的打拚及生活的不易.在這小小的一小段路,尚有許多生意很好的店,例如有間生意很好的煎包店,看起來很好吃,但我又覺得油太多 ,所以尚沒有勇氣嘗試.我這裡要特別提到一間賣蔥油鉼,鹹甜燒餅的小攤.這個攤子並不在中華路上,但在中華路及正氣北路交口往西走的二十公尺左邊路邊的正氣北路上.是一擁路邊粗糙簡陋的似攤非攤的小店.趕麵烘烤都在那露天轉角倣.兒子是老板,母親是師父.每天下午四點左右開始烘烤,物美价廉,有時要排隊但有時排到隊時已缺貨.老板給我的名片並不是賣蔥油餅的,而是經營健康營養品的.可見台東人的機動性及勤勞刻苦.


台東大學,台東大學的防災中心
台東大學在台東市的校區,處於体肓館,鐵花村及舊火車沾的旁邊,隔著中華路與台東中學相望.是台東市人文及教肓的火車頭.校區建築雖平常,但校園種有很多樹,其中有百年老榕.整体說來,給人一種閒適怡人的感覺.我每天最喜歡的一段步行是由中華路切入教育大樓,再順著前面的路,經辦公大樓旁的林蔭小徑,穿過排球場的右邊走到防災中心及創新育成心這一段.
我在台東的時候,防災中心正在進行台東農村再生計劃.他們要幫助山區裡的部落或村莊做農村再生及文化保存.他們帶我到山區幾次.北到泰原的山裡,南到嘉蘭大烏大武.台東的山區很漂亮,但要發展山地村落的經濟很難.主要是山裡除了美麗的山色及寧靜的生活之外沒什麼活動可吸引人.休閒的步道少,美而廉又俱備原住民的民宿及飯店缺少.溪水遠看雖美,但大半無法泛舟溯溪.山區騎腳踏車有安全問題.我們所到的一些地方看不到有給路過的人食宿的地方.過客停車下來,也不知要倣些什麼.我建議山村可利用學校試辦一些露營及生態体驗營看看.或者利用住家多出的房間辦過夜兼早餐的小民宿.至於農業,山區可考慮發展精緻或有機農業.

台東大學,台東大學的有機店及有機農夫市集
台東有很多有機店,但影響我們生活最深的就是台東大學的有機店. 台東大學的有機店,就在創新育成中心及防災中心的樓下.歸創新育成中心管理.這個有機店每天營業.而且每個禮拜天早晨有有機市集. 這個市集就在中華路上的人行道旁開賣.約有十多家有機農夫參加.這家有機店是我太太的最愛.幾乎每個禮拜她都會去.她跟店裡的工讀生及經理很熟並成為朋友.台東大學的有機市集我們較少去,因為是禮拜天而不是禮拜六.大部份的農夫,禮拜六會在另一個地方,介於農會超市及麥當勞及停車場之間的的一長型空地擺攤(南京路跟新生路的交口).這個市集是我們去聖母健康會館吃中飯時都會從那裡經過.所以後來我們禮拜六就會去那個市集逛.我們跟這些台東種有機的農夫慢慢相熟.後來跟一位住在大武山豬窟山上經營有機活泉農場的農夫林木泉交往進而成為好友.這些有機農大部份規模不大,要得到有機認證不容易.林先生生活簡樸,篤信基督,一個人住在山上,天未亮就起身做工,深夜讀經禱告,幾近餐風露宿,靠二隻土黑狗倣伴.田地要靠有機肥慢慢改變土質,數年來尚無法收支平衡.他每禮拜六早上要由大武山上開車到農會前擺攤.過完午,休息一下,下午到晚上在鐵花村的夜市續攤,禮拜天–早再到台東大學的市集.他是以傳教士的精神在經營有機農場.他是在幫助顧客,教肓他們跟他們做朋友多於做生意.聽說他有數個死忠的粉絲.我另外認識一位相當熱心,在台東大學有機市集倣義工的周女士.這個市集雖然只有十幾家,而且每禮拜只有禮拜天早上開市,卻有二位義工.這二位義工都是已經退休的女士.他們每個禮拜天早晨來此幫忙.周女士一直遊說我也去做義工,但因我們禮拜天要去教堂,只能婉拒.

台東地方特別,山水天然未被過度開發,污染少,而且花東縱谷非常漂亮,人民淳樸,過簡單的生活.海岸線雖長但沒有良好的港口,也沒有良好的沙灘.原住民多,,山地農村再生困難,而且很多人有抽煙喝酒嚼檳榔的習慣.台東縣這幾年來總人口負成長(1998年底由24萬8千到2011年底的22萬8千),但老年人口卻增加(86年底由2萬7千到95年底的2萬9千),人民謀生不易. 台東市與西岸交通不便.台東只有一所大學,這個台東大學實為台東之寶.但很可惜,這個大學看起來就像一個普通的大學,並不是一個俱有台東特色的大學.

所以台東大學要成為一個具有地方特色的大學,要培養人才來經營台東特有的山水.不止要增加台東當地的就業的機會,同時也要有永續經營的理念.台東大學的劉院長在深層海水利用,有機農業推廣及河川整治已有頗具前瞻性的推廣及發展.防災中心的王主任在台束防災及農村再生上也做了很多事倩,今就我所知及觀察,再補充一二.

第一,我期望台東大學可在檳榔的研究上大力發展,成立檳榔研究中心.
我剛抵台東不久,就感受到台東很多人吃檳榔.短短的一小段中華路,由豐里槁到台東大學就有三家檳榔攤.火車由大武進入台東市,沿途就看到左邊的山腰種了很多檳榔樹.在靠近鐵道兩旁,也看到有些用黑色塑膠布蓋住的農田.後來友人告訴我這些是種荖葉.荖葉,荖花是吃檳榔不可不有的配件.檳榔這個農產品已經是全台最大宗的農產品.超過稻米的產銷,全台產殖每年上百億.種檳榔破坯山林水土保持,吃檳榔增加口腔癌的機會,隨地吐渣影響環境衛生.但吃檳榔的人數卻有增無減.很多台東人靠檳榔為生.(全台種稙檳榔最大的縣是屏東而不是台東)但在這種環境下,台灣各級政府對這種影響環境及國人健康這麼嚴重的議題採取不聞不問及不管的態度.我深信我們要製訂良好的管理政策,禁止增種檳榔,禁止進口檳榔,宣導進食檳榔的壞處,成立檳榔戒食中心,輔導轉種他種作物,以及其它措施.這些都是檳榔研究中心可以做的事.

第二,我期望台東大學可在海洋的研究上大力發展,成立海洋或黑潮研究中心或者治海系.
如果你去過台東海岸,你就知這台東的海很奇特,海岸大都是岩岸,沿著海岸往外看,海水有三層顏色,靠近海岸是淺夾色,再來是一層深黑色,即是黑潮,最外面才是平常籃色的海.初看並不怎樣,但久看就有一種天然的粗糙美.台東東岸有很長的海岸線,台東是發展淺海養殖,近海遊憩,黑潮研究,海浪發電的絕佳所在.但台東大學連一艘船都沒有,實有待急起直追.不然鬼頭刀,旗點追飛魚,鮪魚追鬼頭刀旗魚的美景生態將一去不復.

第三,我期望台東大學可在山地的研究上大力發展,成立治山研究中心或治山系.
台東人說台東是台灣的後山,台東的朋友也都自豪的說台東有好山好水.台東碓實有好多山村,但可惜山地人口外流,人民謀生不易.台東因為是台灣的後山,住在山前的台灣人就比較不管後山的需要了.但到底後山人的需要是什麼呢?是熱氣球嗎?是杉原溪的美麗灣大酒店嗎?
如何經營台東特有的山林河流.颱風如何預測防治.山林疾病如何預防,山區動植物如何管理增生,山區部落如何再生管理.有機小農如何輔導,經營,產銷,小農如何共生合作防止大財團併購等都是治山研究中心的好題目

我知道台東大學要全部搬去知本了.我去知本校區看了一下,很失望.整個校園的規劃及建築沒有綠建築的觀念.沒有太陽能發電,建築沒有運用綠建築的觀念,沒有電動機車优先停車站電動車充電站.水資源也沒規劃.學校外面就只有一條筆直的馬路,完全看不出對新校區週圍馬路及公共社區的規劃及營建.如此大學生活,如何營育俱前瞻性看法的學生?而且台東市一旦失去台東大學,將會是一個怎樣的城市呢?台東大學搬家的主因聽說是為將來的發展考量.但想想看,台灣及台東的人口一直在減少,大學又那麼多,政府又欠了那麼多錢,我認為台東大學在現有的台東市校區發展就夠了.不知我的呼籲是否太遲了?我想目前全校教職員不會搬去知本的居多,而由台東知本來回要四十分左右,浪費大家的時間及汽油費及增加空氣的污染.我想學生大部份也可能不會搬去,因為知本校區附近沒有文化及休間的設備.長遠的來說,以目前政府的財力,要在知本再造一個新鎮是遙不可及的.

我盼望台東好,台東大學對台東的特色:"山林海域及特殊的人文"有直接及深遠的貢獻.

增強免役力治癌(Immunotherapy to treat cancer)

癌症的西醫療法
手術,化療及放射療法是現今醫界最常見的.
Immunotherapy,事實上不能翻成增強免役力,而是一種特別的免役力治癌法.

癌症是免役力出問題嗎?
我們都知道癌症致病有很多原因.環境,飲食,人承受的壓力,以及遺傳.但是這與免役力有關嗎？我們聽到的理論,有一種是說人每個人每時刻身体都會產生癌細胞.但身体的免役細胞會自己來清理.這個理論有二點不完全.第一:是什麼機制,使身体自動產生癌細胞的? 第二:我們看到許多得癌症的人,身体都很健康的時候發病,為什麼?
抽煙會致癌,這是因為污染物進入肺部.大吃肉食會得大腸癌這是因為肉食會在腸內腐敗生致癌物.皮膚癌是因為曬太陽.但乳癌,卵巢癌是荷爾蒙失調,攝護腺癌呢是肉食太多.如果用一句話來描寫,是生存環境惡化,人為了生存,以為增生癌細跑就可繼續存活.如果你們有種菜的經驗就可了解我的說法了.如果乾旱,雨水不調土壤貧瘜,種的蔬菜會很小,但開花結子很多.這樣,身体免役力就不會認為癌細胞是敵人.這是我解釋癌發生的原因了.免役力是可以殺癌細胞.但當身体在太惡劣的環境下,免役力就失去了它的功能.(身体有時也不一定非把癌細胞殺死,只把它包住就可了,見李豐:我賺了三十年),身体會想增生癌細胞來對抗惡劣的環境.所以對抗癌第一要免除惡劣的環境,第二要增強免役力.

如何叫免役力細胞去殺癌
根據西方醫學的研究,目前最夯的就是驅馳免役細胞去殺癌細胞.但我們不是說在体內環境很惡劣的時候,身体會產生大量的癌細胞來逃生嗎?是的,此時免役力細胞的外部的一種蛋白質會叫免役細胞不要動手.這種蛋白質的作用就是節制免役細胞.目前的研究就是發展出一種藥來跟這蛋白質結合,如此,免役細胞就不再節制,就會去攻擊癌細胞及身体各處的非癌細胞.這種藥在美國已在賣了,藥名叫YERVOY.YERVOY是用在皮膚癌(malignant melanoma)已擴散的病人身上.大部份可延長壽命,小部份可完全治癒.這種新的免役療法其負作用像免役力失調,全身都會被攻擊.但已擴散的皮膚癌几乎都沒救了,所以這個方法很受歡迎.但是這是欺騙身体的做法,殺傷力很大.現在這個方法會被用在一些已擴散的非皮膚癌的治療上.


利用真正的免役力治癌 strong immune system is the king
關於免役力,我想大家都聽很多了,我們知道身体免役力高,就不容易生病.免役力低就容易得感冒或生其它的病.有些病是免役力失常,例如異位性皮膚炎或者是狼瘡.但一般尚沒有人會認為得糖尿病高血壓是因為免役力低的.糖尿病高血壓被視為一種新陳代謝出問題的疾病,與免役力高低無關.但事實上有糖尿病的人其得癌率高於一般人高(9%),而且死於癌症的比率也比一般人高(11%).至於有高血壓的患者呢?其死於癌症的比率比一般人高(24%),其得癌比一般人高(29%).有糖尿及高血壓的患者生其它病的機率是比一般人高的.我想這也應與免役力低有關.所以真正要治第一:去除惡劣的生活環境.第二:增加免役力.惡劣的生活環境不去或不改善,免役力會無可奈何.

增加免役力的方法
方法很多,但飲食要先以無毒的蔬菜五穀為主,再加上無毒的水果及堅果種子.紅肉致癌,魚肉含重金屬,放療本身致癌及長期肌肉骨頭受損,你該知道怎麼倣吧!!

冷療治癌 ( cryoablation for cancer treatment )

什麼叫做冷療治癌
把細胞冰死的方法叫冷療.以一個探針插入腫瘤的中心,讓針頭形或一個冰球溫度達到攝氏負一百七十度左右來冰凍癌細胞.一般用氬氣.十分鐘後用氦氣來解凍.然後再用氬氣來冰凍一次,總共約三十分鐘.只要局部麻醉,當天或隔天就可出院.導管是中空的絕熱管.利用超音波或MRI定位.

應用
攝護腺癌 (在美國已非常普遍.但操作方法與上述略有不同,一次約美金一萬三千元左右,可重複做.)
擴散的肝肺卵巢大腸或腎的腫瘤.(Peter Littrup and Hyun bang of Wayne State Univerity of Michigan, 他們有超過一千次的經驗,便宜而且效果又好又不痛,一次約一萬五千元.)
乳癌 ( 數個美國大型教學醫院已做完27個病人的臨床研究第一期.這些實驗的病人是在幾個禮拜之後再做部份切除術時量測癌胞.結果是腫瘤小於1公分或者腫瘤如果是浸潤性導管癌,小於1.5公分其去除率百分百.目前正做第二期.冷療在乳癌上的治癌最讓人興奮.不止無痛,乳部保留,低價,而且不必化療或放療.而且可重復做,因為凍死的癌細胞被人体的清道夫細胞吃掉後讓身体的免役力變強,不易復發.同時在冰凍時癌細跑沒機會逃走,所以也不會轉移.以後只要身心靈保持健康体內排毒乾淨應可保安康.根據資料美國已有診所在做乳癌的泠療.例如Dr. Simmons:
Dr. Rache Simmons
NewYork-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell
425 E 61st St
Fl 10
New York, NY 10065

在英國奧地利及中國也都有醫院在做冷療.台灣呢?

我的意見
因為探針小,冰球成形就不會太大.這是為什麼美國臨床只用在小於1.5公分的浸潤性導管癌的原因.但我們可一次用兩個或兩個以上的探針呀?或者用單一探針但移位使用像在做採樣本的做法.這樣較大的腫瘤也可治療了.中國福大(Fuda)醫院用在無法再開刀的病人上也取得相當的成績.原位癌若怕無法殺死全部,似乎也可重複做呀,而且若免役力增強說不定清不乾淨的癌細胞最終也會被殺死.所以我覺得冷療的應用在乳癌的治療上實值得台灣急起直追.希望全台的乳癌患者團結起來去總統府前抗議示威要求台灣應在冷療及低電流療上好好研究及應用,去除不人道的程咬金的三斧頭:動刀,放療及化療.

Patient selection of cryoablation

Patient selection is key to successful cryoablation. DCIS represents a special problem, the presence of DCIS at the margin of the cryoablation zone results in incomplete tumor necrosis, in other words, DCIS may be a relative contraindication to cryotherapy. However, even using MR imaging, DCIS lesions are only detected in 60-70% of patients with breast cancer (15). This fact makes it impossible to include DCIS components of invasive carcinomas in the therapy planning for such cases.

Generally, DCIS is often seen in tumors >15 mm. Cryoablation is adaptable for tumors <10 mm, for primary tumors 10 to 15 mm, only those without an extensive intraductal component are destroyed, while tumors over 15 mm are not reliably eradicated with cryoablation.

Core biopsy is helpful to detect the presence of DCIS. Specifically, the noncalcified type of DCIS causes the most treatment failures in the patients with larger tumors. It is suggested that cryosurgery should be limited to invasive ductal cancers <1.5 cm and with <25% DCIS on the core biopsy. Some breast cancers, such as invasive lobular carcinoma and significant intraductal carcinoma, tend to be multifocal and may include foci too small to be detected through imaging, making them unsuitable for in situ ablation. Tumors that present with more than the most minimal degree of microcalcification should also be excluded, since the extent of these lesions on mammography often can not be detected (5).

It is suggested that the immune system of the host becomes sensitized to the tumor being destroyed by the cryosurgery. As the body resorbs the necrotic tissue, an active immunity is developed for the tumor tissue. Any primary tumor tissue undamaged by the cryosurgery and the metastases can be destroyed by the immune system after cryosurgery (32,33). The “cryoimmunological response”, obviously, results in therapeutic benefits for advanced breast cancer.

低電流治癌

我最近在網上看到台灣出了一個性學專家叫林坤地(他是柏克來大學的博士)的文章.當然了,這篇文章是為了他的情趣商品打廣告.但引起我興趣的是,他文中提到他看了Robert Becker "Body Electric"給他的影響.
這就引起我的興趣來了.所以我就上去買了Robert Becker的書來看.一看之下讓我十分著迷.Robert提到用極低直流電流讓骨頭再生及消毒的詳細經驗及觀察所得.書中也提到低直流電對治癌腫的介紹.這就更引起的更大的興趣了.
我於是再去追讀Dr. Nordestrom 及 George O'Clock的網上書(目前才讀幾頁)及其它報導.以下是我的綜合報導.
1.用低電流(MA milliamper 或者NA nano ampere )治癌腫瘤是可行可靠以及高治癒率.可比美化療放療及手術.
2.可內插探針,一極在腫瘤上,或者二極橫跨腫瘤二側.
3.如單極,則正頁極皆可.
4.內插極針以銀針最好.
5.銀離子本身能讓癌細胞變成正常的細胞.
6.也可用外接電極版不侵害腫癌.此方法更簡單可行.
7.也可用高頻交流電.此方法在美國已有得FDA批准用在治療後發性的腦癌.
8.中國以曾幼林(北京中日友誼醫院)臨床實用為主有成千上萬的統計資料可供參考.Nodestrom醫生 將低電流治癌方法引進中國,而由曾幼林醫生發揚光大.曾幼林醫生是針灸大師曾式範針灸痲醉動剖肚手術.但可惜我尚無法找到曾醫生的中英文文章閱讀.
9. 美國廣播界名人Barbara Wakter曾為低電流治癌報播過一個專題.
10.目前也有利用低電流流經癌腫會與正常細胞不同反應原理製成手提的癌腫探測器.
11. 可以DIY 治癌用TENS嗎?應該是一個很有趣的研究.我的gut feeling is YES!!
12.一套TENS也不夠是美金一百出頭.
祝大家身体健康.

利用低電流 ( 未知？) ( 電壓20V - 25 V ? )高頻交流(100kHz 200-kHz) 外接探針原理
The NovoTTF is a six-pound device that patients carry with them in a small bag. The electrical current is sent from the device to four electrodes which are attached to the patient's shaved head. reported by Matthew Perrone of HuffintonPost, 04/15/2011
The man behind Novocure is Yoram Palti M.D., Ph.D
Yoram Palti, of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, and his
colleagues have demonstrated another way to disrupt cell division: alternating
electric fields with intensities of just 1–2 V/cm. The fields they use, with
frequencies in the hundreds of kilohertz, were previously thought to do nothing
significant to living cells other than heating them. But Palti and colleagues
have conducted a small clinical trial showing that the fields have an effect in
slowing the growth of tumors.
These special fields alter the tumor
cell polarity at an intermediate frequency (on the order of 100-300 kHz). The
frequency used for a particular treatment is specific to the cell type being treated (e.g.,200kHz for GBM).

At one-second intervals, the field orientation switched between front to back and
side to side, so that the field would have the greatest effect on tumor cells
dividing in all directions. Patients wore the electrodes 18 hours per day for up
to 18 months.

ADELAIDE, Australia (Reuters Health) - Surgeons here who pioneered the use of electrical current to destroy liver tumours say they are optimistic that the treatment could be used for tumours of the pancreas and kidney as well. The treatment, called electrolysis, involves placing electrodes into liver tumours and surrounding tissue. A small electric current is then passed through the electrodes to destroy the tissue. In some cases, affected parts of the liver are removed surgically.
The leader of the surgical team investigating the treatment, Professor Guy Maddern of Adelaide University, told Reuters Health that the method causes a change in the acidity of the tissue and "poisons the tumour."
"It is less destructive than surgical removal of the tumour, and can be used to treat tumours that are awkwardly located, such as next to large blood vessels," he added. Maddern and his colleagues have treated 10 patients, with follow-up ranging from 6 to 43 months. Nine of the patients had bowel cancer that had spread to the liver, and one had cancer that originated in the liver.
In order to be included in the study, patients had to have no other untreatable tumour outside the liver, and to be fit for major surgery. All patients, said Maddern, had extensive disease in the liver.
Eight of the patients show no evidence of residual tumour at the treatment site. Five of these eight patients have developed new areas of tumour spread, while three have no evidence of new cancer growth.
"In any case, after surgical intervention without electrolysis, 60% of patients would be expected to develop new disease," Maddern said. "We are trying to increase the percent who don't get new disease."
When added to surgery to remove a tumour, Maddern noted, electrolysis increased the percentage of patients who were treatable with surgery from 20% to 25%. "We have been developing this technique for 5 years. We are now ready to move forward and are considering tumours of the pancreas and kidney," Maddern told Reuters Health. "They will be the next step."

Friday, 30 June 2000
Cancers of the colon and rectum are among the most common. While early diagnosis offers good prospects for their treatment, many are diagnosed at a late stage. By then, a colo-rectal cancer which is in itself treatable has often spread to the liver.

Cancers of the liver are generally incurable. Only about 20% of livers diseased with tumours can be treated at present, and even then only with difficulty. Because the liver is essential for life and health, surgery is impossible when it involves the removal of excessive amounts of liver tissue. Transplants usually can not be considered.

A medical research team from Adelaide University has begun final trials on a new and promising treatment for these liver tumours. The surgeons, based in the Department of Surgery at Adelaide's Queen Elizabeth Hospital, are now tackling liver tumours with electrolysis.

Electrolysis involves passing an electric current through the liver, a process that produces chemical and physical changes. Electrolysis can split water into oxygen and hydrogen, or produce strong acids and alkalis from neutral solutions.

The surgical team has developed techniques for inserting electrodes into a liver tumour and using low voltage to move ions between them, liberating toxic substances that destroy the tumour chemically. The current can be controlled to deliver a predictable dose-dependent response over time, and even very large tumours can be treated.

"The tumour isn't burned,' explained Research Assistant Ms Paula Baxter, 'the current is too low. We have an apparently safe process of destroying the tumour with the chemical action of electrolysis."

The technology has been developed conjointly with the University of Leicester. Over the last 4 years, 5 doctors from Leicester have been collaborating with the Adelaide team, led by Professor Guy Maddern.

"This is a technique and a technology that has not been used anywhere else in the world for this sort of condition," said Professor Maddern. "It is now being published in recognised journals and we hope that if we can get it working efficiently, it will be picked up around the world," he said.

"By placing the electrodes very carefully into the tumour, we hope to treat patients without resorting to major surgery,' said Dr Guy Finch. 'We might even see the day when electrodes are left in the liver for several weeks, and patients come into the clinic for several sessions of treatment until the tumour is destroyed. It would be simple to manage, causing little discomfort and minimal disruption to patients' daily lives," he said.

Following initial work on animals, a pilot study on five patients showed complete tumour destruction in all cases. That trial led to the use of electrolysis to treat three further patients with inoperable liver tumours. A surgical procedure on one patient 12 months later showed no trace of the original tumour, and that patient is now at 20 months follow up. The other two patients are currently at 14 and 12 months follow up, and neither shows any evidence of liver tumours.

"The patients we've treated to date have all gone well," said Professor Maddern. "They continue to be so, and some of them are now alive and well at a period of time greater than twelve months," he said.

"I think that this is not going to be a cure-all for all people," said Professor Maddern, "but I think for those who have cancers in the liver that are considered to be inoperable, this makes the patients potentially operable," he said.

"If in the future the disease returns, after what we thought was a curative operation, we may well be able to treat these patients without the need for surgery," said Professor Maddern. "We expect that the technique will improve a lot over the next 12 months."

For any new form of cancer therapy to become accepted in clinical practice, it must be shown to improve patient survival. This is best shown by a 5-year follow up of a controlled clinical trial of patients with inoperable disease.

The Department of Surgery is very keen to have any patients with known liver cancers referred to them to be assessed for their suitability for electrolytic treatment.

Bimodal electric tissue ablation: positive electrode studies

Abstract
Background: Bimodal electric tissue ablation is a novel variation to standard radiofrequency ablation that produces significantly larger ablations by the addition of a direct electrical current. The negative electrode is attached to the radiofrequency current and the positive electrode is placed nearby. It has been identified that an electrolytic injury can occur at the positive electrode site. It is suggested that by increasing the surface area that is in contact with the positive electrode, the risk of tissue injury is reduced. This hypothesis was tested in a pig model. Methods: Thirty-six ablations were carried out in the livers of six pigs (six ablations per pig). Two were standard radiofrequency ablation controls and two were carried out with positive electrode attached to a scalpel blade. Two were carried out with positive electrode attached to a grounding pad. After 48 h, liver was harvested and the ablation sizes were compared. Skin biopsies were taken from the scalpel site and one from the pad site and examined histopathologically. Results: The scalpel blade ablations were significantly larger than controls and the grounding pad ablations (P < 0.001). The grounding pad ablation was significantly larger than controls. The scalpel blade skin site showed full-thickness tissue injury. The grounding pad site appeared microscopically normal. Conclusion: By increasing the surface area that connects to the positive electrode, significantly larger ablations can be carried out while minimizing the risk of associated tissue injury.

Alternating current electrical stimulation enhanced chemotherapy: a novel strategy to bypass multidrug resistance in tumor cells

Parallel cultures were exposed for 3 hours to increasing concentrations (1, 2, 4, and 8 microM) of doxorubicin following stimulation to 50 Hz AC (7.5 microA)

利用電位測乳癌利用共振原理殺乳癌

http://www.breastcancerinitiative.com/

Our Mission

BreastCancerInitiative.com is focused on the development of a new method for detecting and treating breast cancer. Our core technology uses a single and relatively simple non-invasive device that initially operates in its detection mode to locate the breast cancer and then, using a critical part of the information provided in this process, switches to its therapeutic mode to eradicate the cancer.

Breast Cancer Screening

X-ray mammography is the "gold standard" for breast cancer screening. Mammography accounts for a reduction in breast cancer mortality of about 20%-30% for women of age 50-69, and of about 17% in women of age 40-49.

Limitations of Mammography

Mammography fails to detect 1 of 6 breast cancers. Furthermore, when the mammogram is read as suspicious of cancer, follow-up breast biopsy does not show a cancer in 80% of these patients, causing unnecessary stress and expense. In addition, the breast compression required to produce a good mammographic image can be painful, and there is exposure to small levels of X-ray radiation.

The National Cancer Institute, setting a balance between benefits and risks, recommends that women age 40 and older should have mammograms every 1 to 2 years.

Treating Breast Cancer

Cancer is characterized by a significant increase of cell division compared to that of normal tissue. This difference in the rate of division is the basis of current methods of treating cancer. High energy radiation and many chemotherapy drugs work by interfering with the cell division cycle. Unfortunately, some types of healthy cells divide as rapidly as cancer cells and are badly damaged as well. Such cells are found in bone marrow, the lining of the digestive tract, reproductive organs, and hair follicles. Some significant side effects of chemotherapy or irradiation is hair loss, anemia, and susceptibility to infection. The damage to healthy cells limits the extent of radiation or the drug dose and therefore limits the effectiveness of these treatments.

Our Core Technology

Current within tissue is due to the movement of ions. The opposition to this movement is called electrical bioimpedance. Our core technology is based on changes in bioimpedance characteristics of tissue that have been documented to occur when normal tissue undergoes malignant change. These changes serve as a marker for the presence of cancer.

BCI Breast Cancer Detection

Electrical bioimpedance is measured by applying a very small, imperceptible current between any two electrodes of a breast electrode array, for example, as developed previously by our group and shown to the right.

Our innovative technology has advanced, and we can now measure electrical bioimpedance with previously unattainable detail and precision to produce a 3-dimensional breast image such as illustrated right. The diagnostic accuracy of our new, patent-pending technology has the potential to equal or exceed that of digital mammography. A sample output, obtained from a patient with a malignant breast tumor is shown, with normal breast color-coded yellow and the malignancy colored green.

BCI Breast Cancer Eradication

BreastCancerInitiative (BCI) will be testing a new, patent-pending technology for eradication of breast cancer called Electrical Resonant Destruction. One of the bioelectrical tissue characteristics obtained as part of BCI cancer detection is tissue electrical resonant frequency. Energy applied to a structure at its resonant frequency will cause it to vibrate increasingly then uncontrollably if the applied energy is large enough. Since cell membranes have oppositely charged inner and outer surfaces, an alternating electric current will cause stress displacement of the membrane.

For cancer eradication, sufficient electrical energy is delivered via breast electrodes at the resonant frequency of the cancerous tissue to make membrane stress oscillations increase until cellular destruction occurs. The electrodes selected are those which bioimpedance measurement showed changes indicative of malignancy in the breast tissue underlying them.

Benefits of the New Technology

For Breast Cancer Screening
•Pain-free, no breast compression.
•Safe, no radiation.
•Results are automatic and immediate—No waiting.
•Convenience—The test can be performed in the family doctor’s office during an annual checkup.

For Breast Cancer Treatment
•Cell destruction is limited to the diseased area of the breast.
•Unlike chemotherapy, there is no spread of toxicity to rapidly dividing cells, e.g. in the bone marrow and hair follicles
•Treatment is non-invasive, rapid, with no discomfort.
•Treatment is safe, there is no ionizing radiation.

Who Are We?

BreastCancerInitiative.com is built around a core group of physicians, engineers, and programmers who have over 150 years of combined expertise in product development, manufacturing, clinical trials, and marketing in the high technology medical device field, including proven success in the use of bioimpedance for detection of breast cancer. Some of the more than 20 medical centers participating in our prior multinational clinical trial to assess the validity of bioimpedance for the detection of breast cancer are shown on the right.*

We have developed many ground-breaking medical devices in use throughout the world. All share the same attributes: they are based on proven biophysical principles and incorporate innovative engineering design. We are dedicated to the task of pursuing this new and promising direction for the detection and cure of breast cancer.

Zapping tumors: Brain-cancer patients in a trial for a portable device that sends a weak electric field into the brain must wear electrodes almost constantly. One patient in a pilot clinical trial for the device, who still had cancer after radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery, experienced a complete recovery. The MRI at top shows a tumor on the left side of this patient’s brain before treatment. The MRI at bottom, taken after eight months of treatment, shows no tumor.

An Israeli company is conducting human tests for a device that uses weak electric fields to kill cancer cells but has no effect on normal cells. The device is in late-stage clinical trials in the United States and Europe for glioblastoma, a deadly brain cancer. It is also being tested in Europe for its effectiveness against breast cancer. In the lab and in animal testing, treatment with electric fields has killed cancer cells of every type tested.

The electric-field therapy was developed by Yoram Palti, a physiologist at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, in Haifa, who founded the company NovoCure to commercialize the treatment. Palti's electric fields cause dividing cancer cells to explode while having no significant impact on normal tissues. The range of electric fields generated by the device harms only dividing cells. And since normal cells divide at a much slower rate than cancer cells, the electric fields target cancer cells. "An Achilles' heel of cancer cells is that they have to divide," says Herbert Engelhard, chief of neuro-oncology in the department of neurosurgery at the University of Illinois, Chicago.






Even after chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery, about 85 to 90 percent of glioblastoma patients' cancer still progresses, and their survival rates are low, says Engelhard. He has about 10 glioblastoma patients enrolled in the trial, which is testing the unusual treatment in patients for whom all other approaches have failed. Engelhard says that the results are encouraging but that it's too early to comment on the treatment's efficacy.

The electric fields' different effects on normal and dividing cells mostly have to do with geometry. A dividing cell has what Palti calls "an hourglass shape rather than a round shape." The electric field generated by the NovoCure device passes around and through round cells in a uniform fashion. But the narrow neck that pinches in at the center of a dividing cell acts like a lens, concentrating the electric field at this point. This non-uniform electric field wreaks havoc on dividing cells. The electric field tears apart important biological molecules, such as DNA and the structural proteins that pull the chromosomes into place during cell division. Dividing cells simply "disintegrate," says Palti.

Palti, who for years has been studying the effect of electric fields on cancer and normal cells, says that he has verified this mechanism in computer models and experiments in the lab. "The physics are solid," says David Cohen, associate professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School.

Patients in the glioblastoma clinical trial wear the device almost constantly, carrying necessary components in a briefcase. A wire emerging from the briefcase connects to adhesive electrodes covering the skull. Alternating electric fields pass through the scalp, into the skull, and on to the brain. The Food and Drug Administration approved the device for late-stage clinical trials for glioblastoma following promising results from a pilot study in 10 patients, one of whom had a complete recovery.

Biophysical Approach Toward Tumor Regression In Mice
Mice were given implants of sarcoma-180 tumors. Two external electrodes were placed on the skin, one over the tumor area. 3mA of direct current was applied for 4.8 hours daily, alternating hours between treatment and non-treatment so that total time was almost 9 hours. After 15 days the treated tumors were 58% smaller than the tumors in the control group. "By the 21st day all control animals had died and a 60 percent total regression of the test tumors had occurred. (Total regression means that the tumor had decreased progressively in volume, hardened, and dropped off, leaving a new skin surface at the former tumor site.)"

Medical Hypotheses (1997) 49, pg 297-300
Targeting a key enzyme in cell growth: A novel therapy for cancer
This study hypothesizes that the successes of studies of direct electrical current (DC) against cancer tumors is due to the fact that DC inhibits the RR enzyme which is necessary for cancer cell growth. The paper reviews other studies that had, amongst others, these results; 1) 60% of the treated mice had their tumors decrease/harden/drop-off using external electrodes at 3mA current for 4.8 hours daily for 21 days, 2) 88% tumor destruction in hamsters using one external electrode and one implanted needle electrode at 3mA for 1 hour daily for 4 days, 3) 98% average reduction in tumor size in hamsters using one external electrode and one implanted needle electrode at 2.4mA for 1 hour daily for 5 days.

Alternative Cancer Treatment with few side effects: The Electro Carcinoma Therapy (ECT)
This is information from the German clinic which references a 30% success rate (of total tumor destruction) that the Chinese had with over 10,000 patients. An additional 40% had reduction of tumor size. They applied the DC current to platinum wire electrodes, in the form of needles, injected directly into the tumors. In contrast; the German Marburg Institute works almost exclusively with metal electrode plates applied to the skin which gives them the same results. Their treatments are for 2-3 hours for at least 2 consecutive days. They vary the current amount according to tumor size and density.

A Simple Explanation

Treating cancer by ultra high frequency waves.

Cancer - Three features uniquely define cancer.

1 - It grows exponentially. That means every cell is dividing all the time. One cancer cell divides into two, then into four, then into eight, 16, 32 etc etc.
2 - It is irreversible.
3 - It passes on these traits from generation to generation.

Glucose

This sugar is used for three purposes. Firstly it provides energy from converting glucose into lactic acid for cancer cells to divide, without using oxygen. Secondly glucose uses oxygen and provides all the energy for your brain to function. Thirdly glucose with oxygen controls normal cell division. Cancer is a fault in this control which makes it cancerous.

434 MHz Ultra High Frequency Radiowaves

I discovered in 1973 that this frequency (used throughout the continent of Europe as the standard frequency for medical purposes) will temporarily activate cancer's burning of glucose without oxygen for between 20 and 30 minutes. Millions of patients throughout Europe have been treated since 1948 with this frequency for stimulating the repair of injuries, fractures, wound healing etc without any side effects being discovered. It stimulates normal cell division which is self limiting when repair is complete.

If the cancer cells' uptake of glucose from the blood can be blocked before applying UHF radiation the cancer cell will die. This is selective killing because it ONLY acts on the Glucose to Lactic Acid system.

The Treatment Method

Intravenous injection of glucose blocking agents immediately before UHF are essential and have to be given quickly through a vein or an intravenous line. The blocking agents consist of cystine and oxidised glutathione and other similar forms of amino acids in their fully oxidised state. They carry a lot of oxygen with them, they look like glucose to the cancer cell and are therefore rapidly absorbed by them immediately the UHF radiation commences. The glucose is “burnt” by the blocking agent's oxygen and the cancer cell dies.

Large arm veins are the most suitable site for injection. The smaller veins of the hand are unsuitable. The injection is slightly irritant and is approximately 50 ml of fluid. Before treatment starts a PICC line (Per Intravenous Cutaneous Catheter) can be inserted if the patient has poor veins. The line is inserted by a radiologist using ultrasound placement into a deep vein in the upper arm and can only be done in Perth if the patient has private health insurance. At the end of treatment the PICC line can be easily removed.

Results have come from 15 treatments over three weeks, Monday to Friday - 15 working days (remember WA's public holidays!).

The infusion of the glucose blocking agent takes approximately fifteen minutes and is immediately followed by 20 to 25 minutes of UHF therapy using the radiowave machine to part or all of the body.

Complications of Treatment

434 MHz UHF creates resonance (it shakes cancer cells like a bell) and fluorescence (the cancer re-radiates different frequencies) and the energy does create some heat in the normal cells similar to sitting in front of a large electric fire. It must be emphasised that this is not heat treatment and MUST NOT be called hyperthermia where the body is deliberately raised to 41.8°C by non electrical methods. After treatment half an hour's rest on a relaxing chair/bed under a fan allows the patient to drive their car away if they wish.

Side Effects

Every patient has their haematology, biochemistry and proof of cancer levels etc estimated before and after treatment. The only contraindication to treatment is a rare disease called thalassaemia because the red blood corpuscles in this disease (there are a few lesser variants which also may cause trouble) are readily damaged by mild warming (body temperature never exceeds 39.5°C, upper limit of human tolerance is 41.8°C) and the patients become anaemic. This may need fairly urgent transfusion if it occurs.

Approximately 1% or 2% of patients slight symptoms of the brain being starved of glucose may occur. The cancer obtains its glucose supply using the amino acid cysteine but the brain extracts its glucose using the amino acid methionine. This rare complication can be completely avoided by eating 100 to 200 grams of cooked red meat five times a week. If you are not willing to eat red meat during treatment there is 1 in 50 chance that you will experience these side effects and require admission to hospital. Patients must understand that if they do not eat red meat that treatment is at their own risk and that they must bear all consequences thereof.

No patient will be treated who is taking any antioxidant other than that which is contained in a normal, simple diet. For example large doses of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, selenium and multiple other so-called anti-cancer antioxidants may result in ineffective treatment simply because these substances destroy the glucose blocking agents before they reach the cancer cell.

General Features for Successful Treatment

A: The smaller the individual lesions the better the result because as cancer masses become bigger so the blood supply to the centre decreases and the drug cannot penetrate there.
B: The total mass of cancer is important. Any estimated load in excess of 100 grams will probably require more than one session of treatment.

The Practical Regime

I treat every patient whom I consider have a chance of response with 15 days of treatment. Then wait six to eight weeks and reassess the situation. If there is significant improvement - decrease by 10-20% of the cancer mass - then retreatment should be carried out because cure is possible in such patients. The maximum number of treatment courses given was seven in a patient with mesothelioma treated twelve years ago who now is alive and well without evidence of the disease.

Specific Contraindications to Treatment

1. A major contraindication to UHF therapy is having had any form of chemotherapy (also called cytotoxics, or cytotoxic treatment). These drugs are non-specific cell poisons designed to act against the genetic material in the cell nucleus. They do not act specifically on the cause of cancer, which is damage in the cytoplasm or extra-nuclear part of the cell. Normal cells are designed and controlled perfection using genetic information. Cancer is caused by irreparable damage to the system which interprets our genetic “blueprint”. It is pointless to destroy genes when their instructions are ignored by a defective system.

Some cytotoxic drugs may make normal cells more conductive to electricity so that there is little electrical difference between cancer cells and normal cells and then UHF no longer only acts on cancer cells.

2. Collections of fluid in the chest cavities, heart cavity or abdominal cavity must be drained and the cavities dry if satisfactory results are to be obtained in the underlying cancer. As examples - cancer of the lung and breast can cause outpourings of fluid in the left or right pleural space (cavity surrounding the lung) and more rarely in the pericardial (heart) space. UHF radiation will not penetrate collections of fluid. They may become hot enough to increase the damage in the cavities.

Fluid in the peritoneal cavity is called ascites. This is a common accompaniment of ovarian cancer and partial blockage to the lymphatics draining the abdominal cavity and occasionally due to obstruction in the liver from secondary cancer in that organ. Ascites may also get worse after UHF treatment and may prevent the underlying cancer receiving any effective UHF dosage. Ascites, pleural and/or pericardial collections of fluid are best treated by aspiration and installation of appropriate substances so that the surfaces of the space are inflamed and stick together thus obliterating the space. The effusion must have been controlled completely by such measures before radiowave therapy is possible .

If patients arrive with collections of fluid and this minor operation has to be performed before or during treatment they will be referred for drainage by another doctor. Patients without private hospital insurance cover with this complication will be referred to a public hospital, if so requested.

3. Smoking is absolutely contraindicated to the treatment. Treatment must not be commenced until at least several weeks after smoking has ceased. The carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke may inactivate the oxygenating effect of the glucose blocking agent.

Further Information

Treatment is given only as out-patient attendance. Stretcher patients do not fit within the machine and wheel chair bound patients can only be treated if they are fairly mobile. Should any problem arise and a public hospital admission is essential, not only is Dr Holt unable to supervise you in such an institution but UHF therapy cannot be given whilst an in-patient in one.

All hospitals in WA require every interstate patient admitted to have a certificate from their local pathologist stating that they are free from MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus infection). To minimise cross infection in our own rooms the results of the MRSA test must be known to us before arriving for a course of therapy.

The treatment centre is in West Perth, an inner suburb with free bus travel to the city. Short term rental flats are available within a one to five kilometre radius. Your travel agent can arrange an hotel to start and then you can find your exact needs at leisure.

Costs

A three week course of treatment is a total of $6550 with a Medicare rebate (at 85% of the scheduled fee) of $2206.50 (as at 1 November 2003). The difference of $4343.50 must be paid during the first week of treatment.

Under the new Safety Net Medicare will now meet 80% of the out-of-pocket costs for medical services. Medicare may therefore give you a further rebate after the account for treatment has been processed by them.

Always make a claim from your State against your travel costs to WA (Patients’ Assisted Travel Scheme/Patient Transport Assistance Scheme). These forms are available from your local hospital.

Please note that we do not have the facilities to accept eftpos or credit card transactions. Payment can be made via cash or cheque.

If you do not have a referral from your GP or a specialist Medicare will not pay their portion of your account. Please ensure you bring one with you.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

A number of minimally invasive technologies exist for the treatment of prostate cancer (CaP), each with their associated morbidities. We sought to test the efficacy of low dose alternating electric current (LDAEC) to inhibit CaP growth in a preclinical setting and determine its effect on normal tissue.

METHODS:

In the first study, two power settings, 15 or 25 mA of current, and two treatment times, 15 or 60 min, were evaluated in C4-2B CaP xenografts. In the second study, power was regulated to maintain an intra-tumoral temperature of
RESULTS:

The most effective tumor volume reduction in the first study was seen with tumors treated with 25 mA for 15 min (62 +/- 9.4% decrease, P = 0.001). Longer treatment time did not enhance treatment effect. Using 45 degrees C to govern delivery of LDAEC resulted in a near 100% reduction in tumor volume in 8/10 mice with C4-2B tumors (P < 0.001) with similar inhibition of LuCaP 35 tumors (P = 0.01). This treatment, although resulting in skeletal muscle necrosis, did not affect nerves, smooth muscle and blood vessels.

CONCLUSION:

LDAEC demonstrates efficacy against C4-2B and LuCaP 35 CaP xenografts while causing no harm to nerves and blood vessels. These results warrant further investigations into the use of LDAEC as a treatment for CaP.

The Kanzius Machine: A Cancer Cure?


聯合報／記者詹建富 2007/05/30

交大電子工程系教授李鎮宜指出，人類最初由物體間的摩擦，發現能夠產生靜電，在富蘭克林發明避雷針後，更進一步消除人類對於雷電的恐懼，甚至發電機的問世帶動了第二次工業革命。如今，現代人的生活周遭更充斥了各種電器電品，如果沒有電恐怕許多事情都將停擺。



至於最早把電應用於治療疾病，則可上溯到西元前四世紀。台大醫院復健科醫師林銘川表示，根據史書記載，當時希臘人和羅馬人發現一種電鰻可產生一百至一百五十伏特的電流，於是利用這種魚產生的電流來治療足部的關節炎。



台安醫院復健科主任鍾佩珍指出，人體可說是一個電磁場，包括神經及肌肉都有電生理特性，尤其電流進入人體內，神經感受最為敏感，因此在神經內科或復健科有許多肌電診斷檢查，包括神經傳導檢查、肌電圖檢查或誘發電位檢查等，便是以電流刺激神經並記錄運動、感覺的反應，作為神經、肌肉病變的輔助診斷工具。

目前，醫界用電能所產生的刺激，最主要用在減少疼痛，或避免、延緩肌肉萎縮，減輕肌肉痙攣和促進血液循環。鍾佩珍舉常見的肌肉、關節疼痛為例，最常用是以經皮神經電刺激器(TENS，中文名稱為「痛止」)，或以中頻干擾波 (IFC)透過脈衝電流，對肌肉及肌肉進行電刺激，提高對疼痛的耐受度，另一方面也影響或阻隔神經傳遞痛的感覺，進而降低疼痛，這即是疼痛的「門閥控制」理論。


另外，肌肉電刺激療法 (ES)則是讓中風或周邊神經損傷患者，用來避免肌肉萎縮。台北國泰醫院物理治療組長簡文仁舉顏面神經麻痺為例，這類病患如果沒有治療，容易造成臉部肌肉萎縮，導致嘴歪眼斜，給予肌肉電刺激可以代替暫時失去功能的神經，防止肌肉萎縮。



同樣的，脊髓損傷而喪失性功能的男性病患，醫師如今可用電刺激取精，再進行體外受精。而中老年婦女常見的尿失禁，臨床上也可針對會陰部肌肉給予電刺激，促使尿道括約肌收縮，用來訓練減少尿失禁的症狀。



值得一提的是，雖然人體觸電會有死亡之虞，但對於因心律不整而造成心臟震顫的病人，若能及時以心臟電擊器或自動體外心臟去顫器施予電擊，卻是可以救命，證明善用電，它可是人類的救星。

物理治療為何有效?


--電位治療器的機轉--


摘錄自富山醫科藥科大學田澤賢次教授之研究報導內容,由義守大學物理治療系系主 任廖文炫 博士整理


醫界有此一說:電位治療器或熱療對腰痛或肩頸僵硬酸痛有效。但到底次那些作用使物理治療有效呢?以下是執臨床研究多年牛耳之富山醫科藥科大學田澤賢次教授對此一機轉的說明:


電位治療器是由已故日本醫學博士原敏之先生於1928年首度發明的,其為一種交流高壓電治療器,利用電場或電場所產生的誘導電流作用來促進人體健康。


日本厚生勞動省認定此電位治療器具有緩解頭痛、肩頸肌肉僵硬酸痛、失眠、便秘等功效。對改善腰痛之效果也經過多項臨床實驗數據及研究報告證實有效。



將人體制餘7,000~30,000伏特的高壓電場或60Hz的極低周波時,人體表面會形成一個電場,誘導出人體內之微小電流。這些微小電流會促使血液中鈉離子及鈣離子增加,使體內的體液變為弱鹼性;也活化細胞的新陳代謝作用,進而提高人體的自然治癒能力。


對腰痛或肩頸僵硬酸痛為何有效則可從肌膜鈣離子之通道(channel)來解釋:為了改善肌肉僵硬痙攣現象,必須抑制肌肉細胞內過多的鈣離子,透過放鬆自主神經來達到緩和緊張之肌肉。根據我們的研究,電位治療不但可以讓濃稠混濁的血液變的較清澈外,也間接的增加肌肉的血液循環。


廖文炫博士表示,這些都可以透過固定使用HEALTHTRON 來獲得最佳改善效果。

高電位療法12問　　　　　　　　　　　　


問 1 誰發明高電位療法


答：高電位療法是美國科學家富蘭克林（Franklin）和生物學家一起根據電場和生物體離子之間的關係，作了大量的臨床研究而發明的。高電位治療儀是結合高壓電子技術和生理電子學的高科技產品。


問 2 什麼是高電位療法


答：高電位療法是利用高電壓低電流的高壓靜電場，對人體進行電調整作用，調節血液的酸鹼平衡（PH），抑制血液的酸性化，使酸性化的血液恢復正常的弱鹼化，從而促進新陳代謝，使失調病變的組織器官康復，達到治病和保健的作用。


問 3 高電位療法原理


答：A.人體血液同其它生物組織一樣，都是由各種帶電離子物質組成的，其中呈負電的陰離子佔多數，血液的PH值呈現為弱鹼性，而當帶正電的陽離子佔多數時，血液的PH值呈現為弱酸性，一般健康人的血液的PH值屬於弱鹼性。而不規則的生活、飲食、和過度緊張的人的血液呈現為弱酸性，血液的酸性化使人體各組織器官出現不良的反應，如疲勞、緊張、睡眠不足、神經衰弱、心腦血管疾病和癌症等。高壓靜電場可以產生有效的強電刺激，以增強細胞活力，調整神經系統，使肌體得到綜合有效的治療。


B.高電位治療器主要通過高壓靜電場對人體全身進行直接作用，通過高壓電子的力量，對人體血液中的蛋白質，膽固醇，中性脂肪，甘油三脂等成分進行高壓分解和中和，及通過高壓電子對人體的內臟神經進行刺激，從而達到淨化血液和調節植物神經的作用，將體內的垃圾通過大便，小便和發汗將其排出體外的一種全身性治療方法。從而從根本上對人體進行治療。


問 4 高電位療法作用與機制


答：高電位療法的作用機制，一般認為是通過輸出高電壓低電流形成的高壓靜電場，調節肌體的PH，抑制血液酸化（而血液的酸化可使肌體組織器官產生不良反應並導致疾病），使血液存回正常的弱鹼性，從而有利於疾病的康復。同時，有效的高電位刺激可增強細胞活力，調整神經系統功能，使肌體得到綜合有效的調理，且對局部有消炎止痛之功。故這一療法對慢性病有廣泛的適應症。


問 5 高電位療法作用


答：促進新陳代謝，調節植物神經，恢復腦細胞功能，改善心腦血管血液供應。促進血液循環，調節血管張力，降低血液粘稠度，防治動脈粥樣硬化，改善血清脂蛋白構成，降低高血壓等。


問 6 通則不痛


答：高電位治療器產生高於一萬伏，小於數百微安的，安全的高壓靜電場，正電子會不斷地往負電子流動，人體進入這個靜電場後，所有的循環系統都會被帶動循環（呼吸系統、血液系統、消化系統、生殖系統、泌尿系統、淋巴系統等），中醫說通則不痛，不通則痛。因此凡是由于不通引起的疾患都可得到治療和緩解。


問 7 高電位療法適應症


答：失眠，神經衰弱，腸胃不調，食慾不振，便祕，痔瘡，皮膚瘙癢，風濕性疾病、關節炎，頸椎病，腰腿痛，跌打損傷，軟組織損傷，骨傷，頭暈耳鳴，前列腺肥大，貧血，高血壓，高血脂，糖尿病，腦震盪後遺症，各種缺血性疾病、更年期綜合症，恢復疲勞等。


問 8 高電位療法禁忌症


答：攜帶心律調整器者，心肺腎功能嚴重衰竭者，惡性腫瘤末期，急性傳感病發作期，各種出血性疾病，發高燒，婦女妊娠期，心臟病手術後恢復期等。


問 9 高電位療法為什麼適應症很多


答：因為所有的循環系統都會被帶動循環，中醫說通則不痛，不通則痛。許多疾患都是不通引起的，因此，高電位治療法還有尋找身體不通部位的作用。


問 10 高電位療法並不適用於所有的疾病


答：高電位治療器不是治百病的，有些疾病更是禁忌的，請注意禁忌症範圍！高電位治療器對其適應症範圍內的疾病的治癒率也是有不同的百分比的。


問 11 高電位療法使用中特別的注意事項


答：1·初次接受治療的人，如遇頭暈或心跳過快，應暫時中止治療。


2·個別出現局部皮膚蟻爬感，癢，酸，麻，輕度刺疼等，均屬正


常症狀。


問12.高電位治療器與藥物的不同。


答：高電位治療器與藥物有著根本的不同,主要反映在以下幾個方


面：


1·副作用問題：使用高電位治療器沒有任何副作用，而使用藥物治療會產生大大小小的副作用。


2·治療方法問題：高電位治療器屬於全身性療法，從身體內部對人體進行調節和治療，從而達到淨化血液，調節自律神經的作用；而藥物屬於局部療法和對症療法，僅僅對病症或是症狀的某一部位進行抑制作用，無法達到治療的作用。


3·使用結果的問題：使用高電位治療器，可以通過對疾病和症狀進行兩步調整的方法。先是治療，其次是預防。從而達到對預防疾病和提高人體自然治癒能力方面的結果是最大的。而藥物只是控制，造成疾病被暫時壓抑，從而影響治療的時機。


4·依賴性的問題：使用高電位治療器不會產生依賴性，是一種良好的習慣。正如同每天刷牙一樣，每天的健康可以通過使用高電位治療儀得以維持，而使用藥物會產生依賴的結果。導致於終生服藥的現象發生。


總之，人體是不需要藥物的。經常使用藥物的人，身體就會變成一個依賴藥物的身體，從而導致病變的發生。


☆藥物即毒物!! 全世界的藥理學院院長都一致說——藥物即毒物。


▲用藥如用兵：俗話說"藥物即毒物"，無論中西藥物"是藥三分毒，無毒不成藥"藥可治病，也可致病"。患者用藥往往只關心藥品療效，忽視其具有毒性副作用，輕則無效，重則中毒，因而導致"藥物致癌""藥物傷肝腎""藥物誘發癲癇"

TENS

　對於患有長期痛症人士，除服用止痛藥減輕疼痛外，還可選擇其他治療方式，例如透皮神經電刺激（TENS），便為另一療法。此法利用一個使用乾電池的小型醫療儀器，透過釋出特定的微電流，用以紓緩疼痛。治療時物理治療師會將兩個或更多的電極貼片，貼在疼痛點或神經分布的部位，然後啟動電刺激器，讓電流通過該部位，產生電刺激作用，並因應患者的病情及患處等，調整電流的波長、頻率及電流強度。
　　一般的電流強度都不會太強，以能達到紓緩疼痛效果及於能忍受的範圍內作考慮。如果電流太強，不但起不到治療作用，甚至有可能燒傷皮膚，令炎症加劇，因此必須由專業人士進行治療，減低受傷風險。儀器釋出的微電流可刺激表皮神經產生感覺訊號，用以干擾及抑制原本的疼痛訊息，減少疼痛訊息傳遞至腦部，藉此緩和各類的肌肉疼痛。其次，微電流亦可以刺激腦部自行分泌具有止痛效果的化學物質胺多芬，有助鎮痛。
