Medicine of Hope, part 3

The cell is the basic unit of any living organism. The human body is composed of 60,000 billion cells. One could advantageously compare each cell to a microscopic factory.

At the beginning of the 20th. century, according to the "Larousse Illustré" (a French dictionary), insulin was already used in pharmacy. A bitter and aromatic substance, it was extracted from the root of a plant, inula helenium or eleni canarium (aulnée or aunée in French).

Two Canadian biochemists, professors Banting & Best, shared the honor to have discovered this hormone at the dawn of this century (1921). Insulin is a protein secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas’s islets of Langherans.

Insulin is thus the key to glucose absorption by the majority of the cells of the human body. The muscle cells (those, which form the muscles), and the fat cells (those, which form fat tissue), need insulin to facilitate the absorption of blood glucose. It should be noted that these two types of cells constitute approximately 65 % of the cells of the human body.

Medical research has not yet proven scientifically "in vivo" whether brain cells, intestinal wall cells, and kidney cells are influenced by insulin in their absorption of glucose in the human body. But I am convinced of it.

Let us remember the discovery of Cellular Therapy (ICT). The research carried out by the pioneer, Dr. Perez Sr., proved that the blood-brain barrier had been crossed in the (10) dogs having received insulin before the absorption of arsenic and mercury, and not in those of the second group, which had not received insulin.

Thanks to this discovery he was able to treat successfully some cases of neuro-syphilis (which reaches to the level of the brain), while using, for the first time in history, the conventional treatment of the time (mercury salts) preceded by an insulin injection.

Serious university scientists, who were looking for truth, have in the Province of Quebec, been able to prove by in vitro studies on kidneys under development that insulin modified certain parameters (DNA synthesis, enzymatic activities, etc.) of the fetal kidney in culture.

They are using insulin as growth promoter: It acts in synergy with other growth factors. They are recognizing that insulin helps in vitro to potentiate the action of some other molecules, certain growth promoters: It is the insulin combination which activates the reactions.

In the literature, it is reported that the pancreas appears only at the sixteenth week of fetal life, and that other cells than the pancreas islets of Langherans could manufacture insulin or a substance connected with insulin. They are possibly brain cells or neuron terminations.

One of these unbiased scientists at the apex of current science confessed to me: "It is a pity that we are obliged to concentrate on very small portions of the organism. Each one of us brings his small brick to the construction of the pyramid. One day will come, I am hoping, where somebody will be able to synthesize all this work... . The popularization of science makes it possible to better understand certain processes."

In order to have a continuous supply of energy; each cell manufactures its own reserves by transforming glucose into glycogen. Here again, it is insulin which makes it possible for muscle cells to increase and by much, their glycogen reserves: These reserves are very significant because they make it possible for the cells to draw on some of their energy, at the very moment they need it.

At a lower level, but nevertheless significant, insulin also allows the skin cells and glandular tissues to manufacture glycogen reserves.

The liver is the organ of the human body, which stores the most glycogen. All excess blood glucose, after a heavy meal for instance, is transformed into glycogen by the liver. It stores it in its cells. As blood glucose level decreases, the liver releases some by drawing it from the stored glycogen.

This mechanism of regulation is greatly helped once again by insulin, which, according to needs, modifies the permeability of liver cell membranes.

We saw the essential role that insulin plays in the transfer of glucose and its conversion into glycogen. Moreover insulin regulates membrane permeability for two more nutrients essential to life: proteins (now called protids) and lipids (fats).

a) Each cell needs protids: It is, in fact, its basic material. In the absence of insulin, penetration of protids inside the cells is dangerously limited and cell survival can even be compromised if this condition lasts too long.

b) Insulin plays also a significant role in the control of lipids. If there is a lack of insulin, cells have to draw their energy by complex chemical reactions, connected to the Krebs cycle (formation of ATP or of adenosine triphosphate for the digestion of sugars and their conversion to energy).

This use of fats as fuel has two direct effects on health:

1) There is initially a strong increase of lipids in blood, which, if the situation lasts a long period of time, involves problems of arteriosclerosis: The blood vessels can be blocked by an accumulation of cholesterol (form of blood lipids).

2) An increasingly great quantity of acetone will be present in the blood. This acetone is a by-product of the digestion of fats by cells. Too much blood acetone is dangerous.

 

From the moment of the meeting of the spermatozoon with the ovum until adulthood, the human body undergoes rapid growth. Growth hormones are mainly responsible. Another hormone is also essential for this growth: It is insulin.

Experiments made on animals show that one could completely stop their growth in the total absence of insulin. The effects of insulin potentiation on growth hormones was demonstrated and recognized a long time ago.

In closing, we can say that insulin, by influencing the permeability of the cell membrane plays an essential role in the absorption of all the nutrients essential to our survival (sugars, fats and proteins). It also potentiates the growth hormones responsible for our development. 

Hundreds of universities and pharmaceutical laboratories continue research in order to identify other functions of this hormone that I allow myself to call: THE HORMONE OF THE FUTURE.

It is because of a controversy where the Donatian Cellular Therapy, invented in Mexico by Dr. Donato Perez, was confused by the College of Medicine of Quebec with the Cellular Therapy of Niehans, of Switzerland, that I had to change the name of Donatian Cellular Therapy to Insulin-Cellular Therapy.

NB: The Cellular Therapy of Niehans consists in implanting in the human body, cells freshly removed from a lamb, which has just been immolated. It is a technique that tries to fight against aging.

In 1921, Banting & Best, two Canadian biochemists, discovered insulin, a hormone that brought new hopes to millions of diabetics. Its effect in a diabetic is to bring back to normal, a blood sugar concentration that is too high (hyperglycemia), caused by an insufficiency of hormonal secretion (insulin) by the pancreas.

We have been able until now to identify and isolate several hormones from the human body that we use as needed as substitute therapy for many endocrine (glandular) problems such as Addison’s disease, hypothyroid and diabetes. It is also possible in certain cases to use these hormones as medications, cortisone for example, with doses much higher than the normal physiological amount, to treat diseases that do not relate to the suprarenal gland.

In our therapy, the innovation is that we use insulin as medication and not as a hormone. It has the property, this is the basic principle of this therapy and it is also the discovery of Dr. Perez, to intervene in detoxification by increasing the permeability of the cellular membrane, to potentiate, and reinforce the effect of medications.

It thus makes it possible to decrease, to reduce the doses that we would normally give and consequently to be able to use several medications concurrently, if necessary. It is during the transitory period of hypoglycemia (decrease of blood sugar) prompted by an insulin injection, that we benefit from the "therapeutic moment", i.e. the ideal moment when intercellular exchanges are at their maximum, allowing the penetration into the organism of medications necessary to the detoxification and the specific treatment of the ailing patient.

The therapeutic moment corresponds to a feeling of hunger, thirst, more or less intense sudation (sweating), and sometimes, small tremors of the extremities, by an increase of the pulse rate. It is perfectly normal in a hypoglycemic moment, and that is what we are seeking, what we are waiting for, to begin the administration of the medications to obtain the maximum effects.

In 18 years, no patient has ever gone beyond this stage and fallen into a coma or pre-coma. In any event, the intravenous way being ensured by the serum solution in place, it would be very easy then to restore the normal rate of glycemia, by administering 50% hypertonic glucose serum.

It is also recognized in conventional medicine, for cancer for example, that a combination of medicines is eminently desirable and increases their therapeutic effects. This combining of drugs makes it possible to appreciably decrease their posology (dosage) without decreasing their action, potentiated by insulin and to obtain a greater tolerance on behalf of the subject. Thus we are succeeding in decreasing or even eliminating side effects.

This double "force de frappe", coming from the insulin and the combination of medications, is exerted on the cell level, the basic unit of the human body, on which we intervene logically. To transform a society, it is necessary to change its members.

This is where the transformations are made, the significant bio-physico-chemical modifications (biological, physical and chemical). We drive toxic substances out of the cell and allow medications to penetrate and restore its humoral balance (balance of organism’s humors).

ICT)">TREATMENTS IN CELLULAR THERAPYICT)"> (ICT)

a) The Major or Primary Treatment: detoxification and specific treatment.

b) The Minor or Secondary Treatments, which supplement the detoxification and the specific treatment of the diseases in question.

c) Tertiary Treatment: prevention.

 

This is the most important treatment, with laxative the day before, evacuating enema, insulin, complete fast, and total rest all day.

As a general rule, it is given only once a week, but the doctor can decide, according to the gravity of the case, to give a second one in the same week.

One can receive several Major Treatments according to the state of intoxication, the gravity of the disease, and the response to the treatment.

The day before the Major Treatment, the patient must take 6 oz. of milk of magnesia and be fasting as of midnight. He can drink water at will.

In the morning, usually around 8:00 AM, we give a very mild rectal evacuating enema to which we add certain mineral salts. Approximately two hours later, we give the insulin injection, the quantity being calculated on a precise criteria, and we install an intravenous serum which has the function to quickly restore the normal rate of glycemia should the need arise.

After the oral, intramuscular and intravenous administration of the treatment, we finish with 25 or 30 cc of hypertonic glucose, which brings glycemia back to normal and prevents any coma or pre-coma.

Many diabetics know much too well that, when they take insulin, it is recommended not to drink alcohol. Why? Because insulin potentiates alcohol as it potentiates medications. For example, the drinking of only one beer after insulin is like drinking 4 or 5 without insulin.

Each following day of the week, we give in the morning, on an empty stomach, what is called a Minor Treatment. It requires no laxative, no rectal enema, and no insulin.

It is comprised of a minimum of medications orally (by mouth), intramuscular and intravenous to supplement the offensive of the Major Treatment in the detoxification and the specific treatment of the problems in question.

Around 9.00 AM, as soon as the treatment is finished, the patient can spend the remainder of the day as he wishes.

Each case is reviewed day by day. All is carefully noted in the file and the treatment is reconsidered and readjusted according to the new coordinates. This is what enables us to progress in the detoxification and to concentrate on the major problems, on the important points of the initial file.

Here is another very significant aspect of this therapy. In conventional medicine, in the treatment of chronic diseases, the patient must take his medication for the remainder of his life. In ICT, even if the same medications are used, we can usually discontinue these medications completely once the physico-pathological condition is corrected. It is the fruit of the detoxification and other elements of the treatment.

We seek to normalize as soon as possible the functions of the organism. We try to bring it to function alone, without the assistance of medication; this is why the doses of medications decrease day by day.

Actually, we can allow ourselves to taste it all! Only abuses and repetition are to be avoided.

It is not forbidden to take alcohol or a glass of wine, especially in good company... or to taste good pork roast on occasion... . We must read beyond the principles.

No smoking.

Avoid exposures to cigarette smoke (any smoke).

Eliminate all excess of alcoholic beverages (wine, spirits, and beer).

Drink at least eight (8) glasses of water per day between meals.

Avoid physical and intellectual strains.

Plenty of sleep (the hours before midnight count double).

Exercise moderately, health walks, while learning how to breathe: empty your lungs while sucking up your guts. Breathe in deeply for eight seconds. Hold your breath twelve seconds, and breathe out slowly for ten seconds. Repeat this exercise from five to ten times per day.

Eat three meals per day at regular hours (light supper).

Eat slowly, chew your food well.

Avoid inactivity after supper. Avoid snacks before bed time.

Keep the intestines free (1 to 2 Tsp. of milk of magnesia before bedtime if necessary).

Laxative every 3 to 4 weeks: 6 oz. of milk of magnesia before bedtime.
