By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D, CTTH The US spends more per capita on healthcare than any other nation on the planet(R), at over $1 Trillion/year with costs growing. Over 3/4 of those costs are related to the treatment of chronic disease, such as autoimmune disorders, cancer, diabetes, alzheimers, autism, cadiovascular disease, etc.(R) The rates of all such diseases are growing, not decreasing, so obviously the true causes of these problems aren’t being addressed. If you were to try and describe virtually all forms of degenerative disease with just one word, that word would be “inflammation”. (R) The research is very clear about this fact. When examining the prime factors behind the surge in inflammatory issues there are principally 3 things that stand out as different about today versus 25 years ago. Those 3 things are the widespread consumption of RoundUp laden genetically modified food and wheat (R)(R), wireless technology (R), and a surge in the number of vaccines given relative to years past (R). The biological effects of...

By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D.,CTTH Caution: Do not read this while eating a meal. Doing so may be hazardous to your digestion. In previous posts, I have discussed the problem of parasites. The key points I have raised relate to the overall imprecision of standardized parasitic testing, where research suggests that under the best of conditions seasoned parasitologists could only accurately identify relatively common parasitic infections about 60% of the time.(R) This “high” rate of accuracy was only obtained following the rarely used “gold standard” of triple stool collection analysis. Most hospitals and clinics reportedly utilize single stool collection sampling, or a swab test, which is estimated to be far less accurate than the triple stool collection. Such poor analysis does not even take into account parasites such as strongyloides stercoralis, trichinella spiralis, or other parasites which spend very little time within the lower digestive systems of those they infect, thus further decreasing the probability of finding them with a stool test.(R)(R) Even with this relatively poor rate...

By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D. If you’ve worked with me before, you know that I emphasize the need for good gut health if somebody is ever to truly be well. Chronic low grade infections which exist in all forms of chronic illness, particularly when it comes to the gut, are commonly overlooked or under-diagnosed in the general population. One of the primary reasons for this is the poor sensitivity that exists for identifying gut infections, in particular parasitic infections. As I have detailed before (1), false negatives for parasites occur at least 40% of the time when the current “gold standard” testing for gut and parasitic infections are used. That means about half the people who have obvious symptoms of parasitic infections, never get the appropriate diagnosis and treatment and are therefore ultimately directed down the broken and deadly conveyer belt of the current medical model. They ultimately end up sicker than when they started, as their bodies become increasingly damaged by the parasites and the toxic medications which...

By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D. Throughout the nation, one of the hottest social and political discussions right now is whether or not we should legalize marijuana. I believe that when examining what is known about the utility and the importance of the marijuana plant, specifically as it relates to health, it becomes clear what a grave mistake it is to deprive ourselves of this truly nutrient rich plant. I believe that its cannabinoid compounds meet the definition of “vitamins”, not just any vitamin, but a vitamin that may be necessary for controlling our bodies ability to eliminate cancerous cells, in addition to supporting numerous bodily functions.(1) It’s worth pointing out that this post is not about marijuana or hemp’s numerous other uses as a food, fuel, or fiber. What is a vitamin? A vitamin is defined as ” any of a group of organic compounds that are essential for normal growth and nutrition and are required in small quantities in the diet because they cannot be synthesized by the...

By: Dr. Matthew Buckley, PSc.D. Monsters inside you In terms of numbers of people killed or harmed by a pathogen throughout the world, parasitic infections are arguably at the top of the list. While many people, including health practitioners, tend to only think of parasites when a patient complains of persistent gastrointestinal complaints, the reality is that often times the parasites produce no obvious GI complaints. Likewise, if an individual suffering from a chronic illness hasn’t traveled out of the country, the health care practitioner may further discount the probability that a parasite is causing the problems. Due to my own challenges with parasites and their relationship with widespread fatigue and pain that I had, I have always acknowledged their likelihood in an individuals health complaint. Having said that, a bad problem appears to be getting worse as the number of people dealing with parasites appears to be increasing based on what I have seen in patients so far in 2014. What are some common symptoms of parasitic infections? ...

By: Dave Mihalovic Parents who wish to opt-out from mandatory vaccination schedules at their doctor’s office will soon be labeled as anti-vaccine parents in need of further enlightenment. The Clinician’s Guide to the Anti-Vaccinationists’ Galaxy, published in the journal Human Immunology attempts to address and convince anti-vaccine parents that their misconceptions about vaccinations are based on myths. In the limited time of an office visit, how can a primary care physician possibly make their case to parents that their child should be vaccinated? Especially with all the informed and educated parents who don’t want their children injected with known neurotoxins, immunotoxins, carcinogens and infertility chemicals, what is a doctor to do? Well, a Mayo Clinic vaccine advocate and pediatrician (of course) offers suggestions for refuting what he considers three of the most common myths about vaccines. Their article, The Clinician’s Guide to the Anti-Vaccinationists’ Galaxy, is published online in the journal Human Immunology. “Primary care physicians have less time than most to explain the scientific case for vaccination. This article...

Press release, European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility, 10 Dec 2013 The number of scientists and experts who have signed a joint statement[1] saying that GM foods have not been proven safe and that existing research raises concerns has climbed to 297 since the statement was released on 21 October. Dr Angelika Hilbeck, chair of the European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility (ENSSER), which published the statement, said, “We’re surprised and pleased by the strong support for the statement. It seems to have tapped into a deep concern in the global scientific community that the name of science is being misused to make misleading claims about the safety of GM technology.” The statement indirectly challenges claims by EU chief science adviser Anne Glover that there is no evidence that GM foods are any riskier than non-GM foods.[2] Dr Rosa Binimelis Adell, board member of ENSSER, said, “It seems that Anne Glover chooses to listen to one side of the scientific community only –...

By Jon Rappoport Roundup is the Monsanto herbicide that is touted as the cornerstone of GMO food crops. Monsanto claims these crops are genetically engineered to withstand heavy spraying of Roundup. Therefore, the crops live and the weeds die. Breakthrough. There are several key lies associated with these claims—but a new one has surfaced. A study to be published this month indicts Roundup and, in fact, the general class of insecticides and herbicides. On what grounds? When they’re tested for safety, only the so-called “active ingredients” are examined. The untested ingredients are called “adjuvants,” and they are said to be inert and irrelevant. But the new study concludes this is far from true. The adjuvants are actually there to INCREASE the killing power of the active ingredient in the herbicide or insecticide. Safety tests don’t take this into account. “Active ingredients” are already toxic, but the adjuvants ramp up their poisonous nature even higher. And the worst offender is Roundup. Here are key quotes from a January 31...

By Dr. Buckley Outside of having adequate amounts of clean air, water, protein, and fat for your basic survival, minerals are important to you living a healthy and high functional life. Minerals actually help your body build its structure, and are co-enzymes, which means that they help enable the activity of an enzyme to work properly. You’ve probably heard of the neurotransmitter serotonin. In order for your body to make serotonin, it requires a gene to make an enzyme which helps your body convert a substance called 5-HTP into serotonin. However, the ability to complete this conversion process requires the co-enzyme minerals, zinc, and magnesium in order to do this efficiently. If you lack those minerals, this process will be impaired, and you may end up manifesting serotonin deficiencies (depression, carbohydrate craving, etc). I haven’t found one person yet who wasn’t significantly deficient in minerals. The good news is that I’ve found a good test that you can use at home to help you stay on top of your...

By: Dr. Buckley According to colleagues from Mexico, biomagnetism is as well known as acupuncture is down there. The developer of the biomagnetic pair technique, Dr. David Goiz Duran, MD, has been spreading his system throughout the world. This video demonstrates the efficacy of using the biomagnetism system to diagnose and treat infections as measured by live blood cell analysis. While there is no doubt larger, more controlled studies need to be performed, this provides some data to support what so many biomangetic practitioners claim to observe in their clients....

By: Dr. Buckley One of my preferred healing tools that I utilize in my office is biomagnetism,which involves strategic placement of both north and south poles on key areas of the body in an effort to support the body’s innate function and response to infections. Clinically speaking, the results can often times be dramatic, and while this study suggests an effect on bacteria, my personal experience is that when using magnets in the biomagnetic pair manner, the effects on viruses appears to be even more dramatic.

Author information Abstract Device related infection initiated by biofilm bacteria are often difficult to resolve with antimicrobial therapy. Study results indicate that application of static magnetic fields may enhance the activity of gentamicin against biofilm forming Pseudomonas aeruginosa adherent to a polymer substrate. Results indicate a maximal reduction of 86.5 +/- 7.2% (n = 6) in the number of adherent...

We are pleased to announce that the study on autism conducted by Dr. Robert Weiner, PhD – “Intention-Based Therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorder: Promising Results of a Wait-List Control Study in Children”, has finally been published. The paper was featured in the January 2014 issue of Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing. Download full study here Abstract Background Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disability that usually manifests during the first three years of life and typically lasts throughout a person’s lifetime. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of NeuroModulation Technique (NMT), a form of intention-based therapy, in improving functioning in children diagnosed with autism. Methods A total of 18 children who met the study criteria were selected to participate. All children completed baseline measures. The children in the experimental group (n = 9) received two sessions a week of NMT for six weeks. Then, children in the wait-list control group (n = 9) received two sessions a week of NMT for six weeks. Primary...

Newsletter published on: November 12, 2012 Many prominent scientists now consider aging to be a disease, and in my opinion, there is no doubt that it is. At the very least, the aging process can be slowed down by applying some common sense strategies to diet and lifestyle. While there are undoubtedly a number of factors that can contribute to the aging process, the process which causes sugar to brown in baked goods can be attributed to what is called “glycation” in our skin, joints, and connective tissue which in turn accelerates aging. When simple sugars such as fructose or glucose become attached to proteins of fats in absence of a necessary enzyme they form what are aptly abbreviated as (AGE’s), advanced glycation endproducts. The production of AGE’s may not be totally abnormal within our body, however they should be minimized. AGE’s affect different parts of the body, and with the high content of elastin and collagen, skin and joints become easy targets. Both elastin and collagen aid in...
