Chapter 3. Overview of E-Tao Self-Healing Methods

“E-TAO self-healing methods” are derived from Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) and they differ from therapies of modern Chinese medicine. For better comprehension, I’ll use plain language to explain the relationship between CCM and “E-Tao self-healing methods”, where the understanding of several specific terms is of utmost importance.

Forget the disease name.

This is the primary term we use to interpret “E-Tao self-healing methods”, and it is also one of the secrets to the success of self-healing we advocate.

Regardless of what disease one has, he/she must first forget its name. Please note that it is the name that should be forgotten, not the disease itself. A disease name is just the tip of an iceberg; there are likely other, more severe underlying diseases that even doctors and patients themselves are unaware of. 
Disease names are only labels affixed by doctors and drug producers based on known pathological indicators and statistics, yet these labels do not necessarily identify the actual diseases. A set of symptoms, or a disease with a particular name, may have different contributing causes. Dispensing prescriptions based solely on a disease name with no regard to its causes may worsen the condition.

Disease names can be very misleading. Here, I’ll use two very common ones — hypertension and diabetes — to exemplify my point.

To doctors and patients of hypertension, it is natural that anti-hypertensive drugs should be taken to control blood pressure. The relationship between blood pressure and the heart, liver, spleen and other organs are simply overlooked. As a result, the body’s internal organs are often damaged by drugs taken.

Almost all anti-hypertensive drugs are diuretics that could do damage to the functions of the kidney. This will firstly lead to lowered libido, declined sexual function, prostate disorders and a variety of urinary system disorders such as frequent or involuntary urination, etc.; Secondly, it will lead to insomnia, bone loss, Alzheimer’s disease, hair loss, tinnitus, hearing loss, and shortened lifespan; in addition, Western medicine is considered acidic from the perspective of Chinese medicine, and the acidity will destroy the tissues of blood vessel walls, causing blood vessel ruptures that could lead to stroke and heart diseases.

The cause and effect mentioned above could be hard to grasp with only knowledge of Western medicine; however, it is clearly stated in the theory of Chinese medicine that “the kidney governs the bones, its health is shown in the hair, it opens at the ears, and it controls memory, the urinary and defecating functions, and governs natural lifespan.” Hence, without intake of anti-hypertensive drugs, as long as the Kidney, Heart, Spleen and Liver Meridians (energy channels in the body that are connected to their respective organs) are cleansed, blood pressure will naturally return to normal.

In effect, there is no definitive standard for “normal” blood pressure; it relates to one’s age, physique, mood, and many other factors. It also changes from day to day, and fluctuates with one’s mood and activities. Doctors and drug producers set standards and label diseases to establish benchmarks for reference and to boost drug sales. Taking antihypertensive drugs inevitably induces more disorders, such as liver, kidney, stomach and eye problems, and even more drugs will be needed to treat those new diseases. Many hypertensive patients die after years of medication, yet it is found that their deaths are not caused by high blood pressure. In this sense, the name “hypertension” is quite misleading.

Another good example is diabetes, whose name is also misleading due to the use of blood sugar indicators. Your doctor tells you that you are diabetic and should take hypoglycemic drugs, and then tells you if your blood sugar is not under control, it will easily lead to heart problems, even glaucoma (an eye disease) in severe cases. This is the kind of knowledge taught in medical schools all along. Without knowing it, doctors are brainwashed by drug producers to act as salespersons for their drugs.

Unfortunately, this has turned the causality upside down. By practicing Paida and Lajin, we’ve learned that in all diabetics, Sha (toxic waste that comes out during Paida) will appear when the Pericardium and Heart Meridians on the inner elbows are slapped. This signals that they already have heart problems but are unaware. When these people practice Lajin, they will feel pain at the back of the knees and also the root of thighs, which indicates that the Urinary Bladder, Liver, Kidney, and Spleen Meridians are all blocked, i.e. these organs all have problems. Problems with these organs are the real cause of high blood sugar levels. Further investigation reveals that all diabetics suffer from emotional problems, to varying degrees, such as tension, anxiety, depression and other mental disorders; such emotional turmoil can lead to endocrine disorders. Let alone adults, most teenage students are stressed out before sitting a major exam, thus suffering endocrine disorders or abnormal blood sugar levels.

In short, diabetes is caused by endocrine disorders, which is related to the heart, i.e. a condition due to emotional problems. Some people are overly obsessed with money, power, social status or their children, and these obsessions make them tense and anxious all the time. Naturally, the endocrine system will not function properly. Some people find relaxation and pleasure solely in dining, and they end up eating and drinking too well, too much, burdening the endocrine system. If hypoglycemic drugs are taken without taking into account the causes, it will only further damage the functions of the heart, kidney, liver, spleen and pancreas.

As a matter of fact, doctors and patients themselves are aware of the negative effects of medication. Drug descriptions clearly state that they are damaging to the kidney, liver, spleen, heart and other internal organs. Once the internal organs are damaged, the sensory organs and limbs will also be damaged. In effect, the term “diabetes” implies that there is an underlying group of other diseases,and this phenomenon is referred to as “complex disease”. According to Chinese medicine, the liver opens at the eyes. Thus, as long as the liver is functioning normally, the eyes will be healthy as well. This has nothing to do with blood sugar levels. Taking drugs or injecting insulin will damage the liver and lead to such eye problems as glaucoma and retinal detachment. Many diabetics take medicine as prescribed and end up with internal organ and eye problems. When the condition worsens, their feet will ulcerate and they could even end up being amputated. Therefore, to cure diabetes, one must not be misled by its name, but should instead identify the actual causes. Diabetics should first be happy and self-assured, and learn to let go; and practice Paida and Lajin to cleanse the Heart, Liver, Kidney, Spleen and Urinary Bladder Meridians. When the internal organs are functioning properly, the blood sugar levels will naturally return to normal.

This is why in Classical Chinese Medicine, “regulating the heart” is the foremost, external treatment measures are used primarily, and medicine is taken as the last resort. “Forget the disease name” reminds us that there are many diseases behind one particularly labeled disease. “All diseases are complex diseases”, i.e. a complex of many diseases. Diseases indicate the blockage of many meridians, and their causes are also varied, hence, we should be cautious not to leave out any, or be misled by particular disease names or indicators; instead, we should focus on holistic health enhancement. We should try to cleanse all blocked meridians and not just one of them. Therefore, Paida and Lajin should be practiced on all parts of the body in a “carpet bombing” manner, so as to activate our internal “anti -virus software”, i.e. self-healing power, to clear away all diseases in the body.

In view of this, everyone should learn up some common sense knowledge of Chinese medicine. For instance, tinnitus, deafness, hair loss, backache, leg pain, declined sexual function, etc. are all associated with the kidney; failing vision, floaters, cataracts, Jin-Suo (contraction of tendons), etc. signal problems with the liver; in the same manner of deduction, if one gets too fat or too thin, the problem is related to the spleen which governs our muscles.

Complex diseases

This term relates to “forget-the-disease-name” concept. People seldom have only a single disease; there are always a number of other diseases behind a known one. Moreover, these diseases are interrelated; they are the causes and effects of other diseases, and are thus called “complex diseases”. In effect, all diseases are complex diseases.

All diseases with known names are so labelled according to identification and classification of modern medicine based on known standards, using known measures. However, no matter how accurate the diagnosis of Chinese medicine, Western medicine or medical appliances is, there are still realms of the complex human body where their diagnosis and treatments are yet to cover holistically. Thus, the key to curing a disease is not in knowing the name, but rather in locating the root causes. 

“Complex diseases” imply that there are still many unseen, undetected or undetectable pathological changes. That is to say, behind a known illness, there could be many more known and unknown ones, and the best way to tackle it is to have a thorough search, diagnosis and treatment in a manner similar to “carpet bombing” in military operations. This will trigger the body’s internal “precision bombing” to cleanse the meridians, similar to when an “anti-virus software” (i.e. the body’s self-healing power) is activated. Thus, “carpet bombing” and “precision bombing” work hand in hand to holistically cleanse meridians and expel toxic waste.

Out of the numerous practices of Chinese medicine, I have specially chosen Paida and Lajin to promote worldwide not only because they are simple to practice and produce quick effects, but also because they are universally applicable, i.e. when one practices Paida and Lajin, almost all “complex diseases” are targeted and treated. This is because from diagnosis to treatment, Paida and Lajin act holistically and not partially. People may find it quite a challenge to directly and accurately locate meridians and acupoints — that is why many tend to give up on self-healing. Paida and Lajin may appear simple, yet they are more effective on complex diseases compared to mainstream medical practices. Many diseases that doctors find hard to treat are cured by ordinary folks using these two unbelievably simple methods. Treating complex diseases with simple methods is as people always put it, “The truest way (Tao) is the simplest.” This is indeed an accurate and concrete interpretation of the “way (Tao)”.

On top of that, through self-diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases, people will gain fresh insights into health and life. They will naturally go on to explore the lasting truths of Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM), hence changing their lives through health improvement. They will move from physical healing to spiritual healing, and from health management to life management. Persistent Paida and Lajin makes people healthier, more joyous and at ease.

Unfortunately, some only pay attention to their health when they are seriously ill. They are very concerned with maintenance and care of their cars and pets, but do not care much about preservation of their own health. They are only interested in “overhauls” or treatment of critical illnesses. Maybe this is the so-called “fate”.

“Carpet bombing” and “anti-virus software”

Huang Di Nei Jing states that all diseases are caused by blocked meridians, thus cleansing meridians cures diseases.

However, when one gets sick, the primary concern could be to find out exactly which meridians are blocked. Here, I will let you in on a big secret: There are 12 standard meridians in the body, and together with the Ren and Du Meridians along the middle of the front and back torso, these 14 meridians, when blocked, become the root causes of all diseases. That is to say, from minute inflammations of mosquito bites to tumor growth, whether insomnia or constipation, all diseases occur due to one, often several, of these 14 meridians being blocked. Therefore, no matter what diseases one suffers from, cleansing these 14 meridians will invariably cure all of them. The four general parts (elbows, hands, knees and feet) are specially chosen for Paida to clear the 14 said meridians.

“Carpet bombing” is originally a military term, which means thorough bombing of each and every inch of land. Using Paida and Lajin in a “carpet bombing” manner cleanses the body’s 14 meridians from all directions. This eliminates all known and unknown diseases holistically, instead of treating them according to divisions of medicine. Paida and Lajin act as both diagnosis and treatment of diseases: Sha (toxic waste) appearing during Paida indicates that meridians corresponding to the slapped areas are blocked, and the appearance of Sha means detoxification has begun; in Lajin, the pain felt during stretching indicates body parts where Jin-Suo occurs, and restoring flexibility of the Jin through further stretching will cure the diseases.

To enable people of the modern age familiar with computers to grasp the concept of “self-healing power”, I’ll use the term “anti-virus software”. Our body has an innate “anti-virus software” as part of our self-healing power, and its wisdom, sensitivity and sophistication go beyond human comprehension and imagination. It runs in the body’s meridians in the form of invisible “Qi (vital life energy)”. Once this “anti-virus software” is activated through Paida and/or Lajin, it will start to scan the entire body. When Qi finds a blockage or a problem area, it will lock-in the target and clear it, diseases or pain are thus alleviated or thoroughly cured. This process is as if launching missiles in “precision bombing” and the “anti-virus software” is the devise that sets off this process.

The number of meridians cleansed through Paida and Lajin is not one but many; the effect is not only localized but in all known and unknown systems of the body. The activated Qi and blood flow will act as the “anti-virus software”; not only does it locate the “viruses”, it automatically stimulates the body to produce antibodies against them. More specifically, this refers to the automatic endocrine secretions of insulin, stem cells, enkephalin, adrenaline, etc., needed to fight different diseases. Practicing Paida and Lajin is like an all-round mobilization of software and hardware systems in the entire body, and that is why it is described as “carpet bombing” and “complete virus removal”.



Of all Lajin positions, stretching in “reclining position” (see picture above) delivers the most thorough effects: all the meridians are being cleared, though at varying degrees .



Paida works by radiating out from specific points: Paida the hands and elbows cleanses the six meridians along the arms and hands; Paida both knees and feet cleanses the six meridians along the legs and feet; the Ren and Du Meridians are also cleansed at relevant joints. Hands are holographic reflex zones of all the organs in the body ; hence, when the hands are used for Paida, they are being slapped as well. This creates a new round of “carpet bombing”. 

HEALING WITH ALGORITHMS (THOUGHT FIELD THERAPY)(TFT)

If you've tried traditional psychotherapy to treat your emotional problems, a healing algorithm may be a difficult concept to grasp. many of my patients initially respond this way -- until they try it. Again, the key element of each algorithm is tapping particular points on the human body, selected from among twelve (12) major points located along the energy meridians. Remember, these brief recipes are different for each emotional disorder -- that is, there is a distinct tapping sequence for resolving phobias, anothe one foe "love pain," and so on. In that sense, each algorithm is like a custom-tailored suit rather than one bought off the rack; it is designed specifically for a particular type of psychological distress. the specificity of TFT opens the door to recovery time after time. The healing energy is already contained within the human body, just waiting to be accessed by the correct algorithm that can release it and stimulate a full recovery. 

  Keep in mind that these targeted recipes were not created by intuition or a trial-and-error process. They have grown out of careful evaluation of the scientific evidence -- my own and that of other practitioners. In recent years, they have been refined through a complex procedure called Causal Diagnosis, which has become an integral part of TFT. 




Example:
 

It is a method by which we can determine with precision the "code" responsible for producing and healing a particular psychological problem. Remember, every algorithm -- in fact, each portion of every algorithm -- has been tested before being incorporated into the healing technique. At times, I've felt something like Thomas Edison when he tried many different filaments before finding the one that worked. in TFT, the final arbiter has been the reality of whether patients get better.  And ultimately, nearly all of them do. 

Chapter 1 THERE HAS TO BE AN ALTERNATIVE

Chapter 1

 THERE HAS TO BE AN ALTERNATIVE

  Thirty years ago, diseases such as colon cancer, prostate cancer, and diverticular disease were virtually unknown. Today, they are almost a certainty if you live long enough.1*  Consider: 

What We Pay for Health Care 

  Never in the history of the world has any other country come close to having as many doctors as we do in the United States: approximately 700,000 according to the US Census.

   And never in the entire history of the world has any other country come close to spending as much as we do on health care: a conservative 1 trillion dollars a year. That means that what we spend on health care is more than the entire Gross National Product of all but six countries in the world today[2**] . 

[1* Sources for statistics are endless, and, depending on what source is used, actual numbers may vary. But regardless of how the numbers may vary, two things remain constant: the steadily increasing trend of major diseases (such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and infectious diseases) and the exponentially rising costs associated with those diseases.]

[ 2** Figures for the amount spent on health care in the United States range from $1-1.4 trillion per year. But even at the lower $1 trillion figure, that's still more than the GNP of 124 out of the world's 130 countries.]

What Value Have We Received.... 

We lead the developed world in deaths from 
>Heart disease 

>Prostate cancer. 

>Breast cancer 

>Colorectal cancer 

>Diabetes 

The American Cancer Society now says that one in every 2.5 individuals will develop some form of invasive cancer during their lifetime—and half of them will die from it. 

  Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 10. 

  And even though we spend $100 billion dollars a year on cancer treatment and research, the overall survival rate for cancer patients is no better than it was 50 or 100 years ago. 

And It's Getting Worse 

Immune Diseases; Obesity; Premature Aging; Heart Disease; Joint Pain; Breathing Difficulties; Hemorrhoids; High Cholesterol; PMS; Chronic Fatigue; Constipation; Malnutrition.

And It's Getting Worse

  The incidence of diabetes in the United States has doubled in just the last 5 years! 

  Fifty years ago, diverticular disease (herniations of the colon) were virtually unknown (afflicting less than 10% of the American population). Today, according to the Merck Manual, 100% of all Americans will have many—if they live long enough. 

  Thirty years ago, colorectal cancer was virtually unknown. Today, it is the single most prevalent cancer among men and women combined. 

  The number of Americans who suffer from Asthma, according to the Centers for Disease Control, has risen by an astounding 75% in just the last 20 years. 

  Breast cancer rates are up 30% in just the last 15 years.

And on . . . and on . . . and on

And now it's official: In the Feb. 9, 1994 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, the “War on Cancer” was declared a failure. “In all age groups, cancer incidence is increasing . . . Few new, effective treatments have been devised for the most common cancers.”

And the Most Shocking Fact of All

The April 15, 1998 Journal of the American Medical Association reported that there are more than 2,000,000 drug “reactions” annually in the United States, and that more than 100,000 of those reactions are fatal. This makes prescription drugs the 4th leading
cause of death in America. But the reality is actually much much worse.

  These numbers only count drugs that are prescribed correctly and at the right dose.

  Not included are patients who are given the wrong drugs, or who are given those drugs at the wrong dosage or in the wrong combination.

  And these numbers do not include the patients who have fatal reactions to the
drugs, but whose death is mistakenly attributed to other causes

  Nor do these numbers include the patients whose cause of death is deliberately obscured
to protect the physicians and hospitals involved

- Add in these numbers and you find that deaths from adverse reactions to drugs may number as high as 700,000 a year. (Actually, the FDA estimates that only 1% of all adverse reactions are reported [1*]which, if true, would make 700,000 an incredibly
conservative estimate.) And finally, combine that 700,000 with the number of people who die from misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment, secondary infections received in hospitals, or just plain physician error,[2**]and the startling fact you're left with is that
modern medicine, despite all the great things it may have accomplished, is arguably the single leading cause of death in the United States.

Understand, this is not an attack on medical doctors—the vast majority of whom are extremely competent, highly dedicated, and often even heroic. Nevertheless, it is important to realize that when it comes to the major diseases of our time, the modern medical paradigm of searching for "magic bullets" and managing symptoms with drugs has failed miserably.

There Has to Be an Alternative!

There is a network of elite herbalists, holistic healers, and renegade medical doctors throughout the world, performing miracles on a daily basis. The network is not only elite, it is also extremely difficult to penetrate because it is technically illegal to diagnose or treat people for major diseases unless you use the FDA approved modalities such as Cutting, Burning, and Poisoning (surgery, radiation, and chemo). Thousands of people throughout the world have come to these "miracle doctors" terminally ill, and thousands have left perfectly healthy. And now the secrets of these miracle doctors are revealed in this book.

[1* A study by a group of French doctors actually makes that 1% estimate seem wildly optimistic. The study found that only about 1 out of every 24,000 adverse reactions is actually reported by doctors to the appropriate monitoring agency.]

[2** Just one example of how high these numbers actually are: On the ABC News Nightline program, the Harvard School of Public Health stated that approximately 1.3 million people a year suffer some kind of inury because of hospital treatment, and 180,000 of those people die.] 

  In the following pages, I will share with you those things that I have learned in my 30+ years of working with, studying with, and sharing with these remarkable healers. By the time you have
finished, you will have learned everything you need to know (in precise detail) to optimize your own health (and the health of those you know and love) and to live a long and happy life.

   1. In the next chapter, I will outline the principles of The Baseline of Health. If you read no other chapter in this book, the heart of everything I have to say is located here.

   2. The rest of the chapters in the book address all of the different body systems you need to concern yourself with in order to optimize your health—and give you step-by-step pointers on how to accomplish just that.

   3. In conclusion, I will provide you with very specific product and useage recommendations.

  Note: Keep in mind that good health really comes down to "playing the odds."

  For example, if you smoke cigarettes, there's no guarantee that you're going to get sick and die. (We've all heard stories of the man who smoked and drank like a fiend for 80 years, only to be shot to death by a jealous husband when the smoker was discovered
in bed with the other man's 20-year-old wife.) On the other hand, there's no question that your odds of having emphysema or lung cancer or of having parts of your mouth, lips, and tongue surgically removed increase dramatically if you smoke. It's all a question of odds.

  Well, in the same way, if you follow the program laid down in this book, your odds of having good health and long life are significantly increased—not guaranteed, but significantly increased. Oh yes, and you're going to feel a whole lot better, have more energy, vitality, sexuality, youthfulness, and radiance in the process.


Good Health And Long Life

Japanese Water Therapy: Heal Your Body Naturally

It is popular in Japan to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. 

Apparently, for old and serious diseases, as well as modern illnesses, the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:

Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.

METHOD OF TREATMENT: 

1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 640 ml (21.6 oz) of water;

- The water must not contain fluoride;

- There is another version of this therapy on Yahoo! News, but they recommend drinking in the morning 1.5 liters (50.7 oz) of water. In my opinion this is a deception, because drinking too much water is dangerous to your health:

"The opposite of dehydration is a condition known as hyponatremia (...) which means "low sodium" and is sometimes referred to as water intoxication. 

Drinking too much water in too short a time overwhelms the kidneys and can cause a sudden drop in blood sodium levels. Sodium is one of the body's electrolytes (the others are potassium, chloride and bicarbonate). A drop in sodium leads to water entering the brain, causing it to swell. Results include lethargy, disorientation, confusion, seizures, coma and death." 

"Rapid intake of too much water floods the inside of cells when sodium is depleted. This sodium depletion, called hyponatremia, can rupture the cells, either from extra pressure on the cells from without, or from pressure within flooded cells.

Generally speaking, we hit the danger zone when we take in more water than what our kidneys can process in a hour. And for someone with extremely healthy kidneys that is about 30 oz. of water in a hour (please don’t drink that much!). Drinking too much water in rapid succession can prove fatal and should definitely be avoided." (Source)

2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute;

3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal;

4. After breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours;

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day;

6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life;

The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/ reduce main diseases: 

1. High Blood Pressure - 30 days 
2. Gastric - 10 days 
3. Diabetes - 30 days 
4. Constipation - 10 days 
5. Cancer - 180 days 
6. TB - 90 days 
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards - daily. 

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times. It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life.

Founders : Why Jeunesse Was Founded

Jeunesse's Birthday : 09.09.09.09 (tt.dd.mm.yy)
[9:00pm.09th.(September).2009]

(video transcript)

(Wendy): We started Jeunesse for two reasons. The first was to help the distributors reach their dream and also to feed children around the world. 
(Randy): Wendy and I went out to California because I was meeting this doctor to have stem cells injections in my knee and in the process of discussing what stem cells can do for one, he mentioned that he had created a serum that he sold to his patients in his practice. And we thought that's something that a lot of people could use around the world. The rest is history as they say. It took off like a rocket.
(Wendy): My role is to make sure everything's running properly . So I worlk more with the operational side. Randy is more fun, I'm kind of boring. 
(Randy): I sure am more fun!
(Wendy): He's always telling jokes and having fun and I'm the serious one in the group. 
(Randy): It's an excellent combination. We are really, really ideally suited for each in every regard and besides that, you being my best friend helps a lot. 
(Wendy): Yeah! and we work together seven days a week, three hundred sixty five days a year.
(Randy): You are wonderful!
(Wendy): Yeah, and you're so wonderful, so we both happy.
(Randy): (smiling) Ooohhh ..... Several people have referred to Wendy and I as the mom-and-pap of Jeunesse. And they look at us as that we are the head of the family. 
(Wendy): We feel that part of our job is to take care of them. And make sure they have the best opportunity, the best products. So, it's kind of nurturing thing and we are one big family.
(Randy): Our entire approach has always been that we want to have a distributor-centric company in the distributors do well. As a by-product, the company should do well. I think our responsibility is to provide the tools for the people to go out and earn a living and build their dream. And if you think about the ripple effect that has on their family, their extended family, and the whole community that they live in, that's, that's powerful! That's very powerful. 
(Wendy): I can tell you this, that, I don't see retirement in our future. We tried three times, didn't work. But we like working. Our goal is to get to at least a billion and then beyond because that will say, we have opened in a lot of countries and a lot of people are profiting and doing well and living jeunesse and generation young. We want them to feel good, live longer, enjoy life. What makes us a success today is the same thing that will make us a success in the future.  It is the distributors. It is their passion, their love, their hard work that makes us successful. We want others to achieve whatever their dreams are , too, because we've been so lucky to achieve our dreams. That's what keep us passionate and keep us going.

A study finds over-diagnosis with increased screening, but there’s no way to determine which tumors do not need to be treated.

As radiologists, oncologists, patients, and advocates continue to wrestle with when mammography screening should begin, a new study suggests that with more views of breast tissue comes more potential overdiagnosis of breast cancer. The study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, concludes that mammography screening entails a substantial amount of overdiagnosis, which could lead women to undergo unnecessary and potentially harmful treatments.

Some believe the research casts more doubt on screening mammography, a modality still dealing with an identity crisis in the wake of the US Preventive Services Task Force’s 2009 recommendations suggesting that women at normal risk of breast cancer can reasonably delay mammography screening until they reach the age of 50. However many people in the breast imaging field still recommend mammograms for women at normal risk begin at age 40. The split creates a decision for referring physicians and patients regarding when to start breast cancer screening. Many breast radiologists contend that the idea of overdiagnosis and potentially unnecessary treatment of nonfatal cancer adds to the dilemma for doctors.

“This new epidemiological study tries to show that if we weren’t screening so much, we wouldn’t find as many unimportant tumors,” says Robin B. Shermis, MD, MPH, medical director of Ohio’s Toledo Hospital Breast Care Center. “This study deals in a theoretical world. In practicality, we can’t always tell which tumors have a potential aggressive biology when they are first detected. At initial detection, there is no way to identify whether or not a tumor is life threatening or will become life threatening.”

In blunter words, if you can’t differentiate between the tumors that will progress and kill a woman and the ones that will never harm her, how do you decide which tumors to treat? Breast radiologists assert that it’s too early to discuss what to do when mammography uncovers a tumor that fulfills the laboratory criteria of cancer but, if left alone, would never cause the patient any harm. They contend that, since science cannot accurately predict which tumors are harmless and which are more aggressive, it’s necessary to treat any tumor that's found as if it's deadly. That means surgical removal and sometimes radiation or chemotherapy.

“That’s exactly the problem,” says Rulla M. Tamimi, ScD, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and a coauthor of the study. “Through imaging and pathology, we’re unable to determine the difference between fatal and nonfatal cancers. It’s important to have studies like this to get the debate going. Women should know about overdiagnosis.”

Finding Too Much?
The objective of the report, “Overdiagnosis of Invasive Breast Cancer Due to Mammography Screening: Results From the Norwegian Screening Program,” was to estimate the percentage of overdiagnosis of breast cancer attributable to mammography screening. This was done with a comparison of invasive breast cancer incidence with and without screening.

Tamimi says the data from Norway provided a unique opportunity to review data collected during the county-by-county introduction of a breast cancer screening program for women aged 50 to 69 that took place from 1996 to 2005. Researchers analyzed approximately 40,000 breast cancers, comparing cases found in counties where screenings were offered against counties where screenings were not yet offered. The study’s authors found that instances of invasive breast cancer increased 18% to 25% among participants who received screening mammography. They also found that between 1,169 and 1,948 of those women were overdiagnosed and received unnecessary treatments.

“In any screening program, there will be risks and benefits,” Tamimi says. “One of those risks is detecting cancers that, if left alone, will not cause mortality in the population of people screened.”

Carol H. Lee, MD, FACR, attending radiologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York and chair of the ACR’s Breast Imaging Commission Communications Committee, notes that the Norwegian study findings agree with those of the US Preventive Services Task Force recommendations, which suggested that there is a risk of overdiagnosis based on the number of women screened. However, she’s not suggesting that this means cancers found in breast tissue should be left alone.

“Saying [there is overdiagnosis], I know that screening with mammography saves lives,” Lee says. “The emphasis on overdiagnosis is too great.”

Lee contends that screening mammography shouldn’t decrease just because it may find cancers that are not deadly. “Does it make sense to stop finding cancers because some of them will not go on to be fatal?” she asks. Lee also challenges the use of the term “overdiagnosis,” saying instead that nonlethal breast cancer may be overtreated, not overdiagnosed.

“If a tumor meets the histologic criteria for being malignant, we treat them all as if they’re life threatening,” Lee says. “That’s the trade-off. We can’t tell whether it is life threatening.”

Treat What You Find
Looking at the study’s parameters, radiologist Stamatia Destounis, MD, managing partner of Elizabeth Wende Breast Care in Rochester, New York, questions the validity of the data, noting that “if you want to prove something invalid you can look at the data any way you want.” In particular, she points to the time span used to gather data for this study.

“With mammography, you need to study a program for more than nine years,” she says. “Imaging to detect breast cancer involves identification of subtle findings on mammography over time and long-term follow-up after breast cancer diagnosis to identify long-term benefits. We need more information on the women within the study and the control group over longer periods of time to identify a benefit.”

In her work with the ACR, Lee spends a great deal of time discussing the benefits of breast cancer screening. With the publicity that surrounds studies like this and the task force recommendations, she says referring physicians and women are unsure of what steps they should take when it comes to mammography.

“Another benefit of screening mammography relates to treatment options,” Lee says. “If you have a mammogram, there’s a chance that it will pick up a cancer that will never be life threatening, but you’ll still undergo surgery and possibly chemotherapy and/or radiation. However, there is also a chance that your life will be saved and treatment for the cancer will be less invasive because it is caught sooner. Which would you prefer? Different women will have different reactions.”

One of Lee’s arguments against studies like this and the task force recommendations is that with an epidemiological study you’re dealing with mathematical modeling rather than with actual practice. Shermis agrees that epidemiology has its place when studying breast cancer from a public health perspective. However, while the studies may provide insight to cost factors associated with unnecessary medical procedures and the stress associated with screening mammography follow-ups, they don’t address the human aspect of detecting the disease in women.

“Yes, there’s anxiety associated with any follow-up related to screening mammography findings, but that’s minimal compared to knowing you have a tumor and not treating it,” Shermis says. “An option would never be to leave a cancer alone. In addition, there’s much less stress involved and it’s much less expensive to treat a cancer when it’s small than after it has grown large.”

Confusing Referrers and Patients
Shermis and others believe these study results simply add to the already confusing amount of information disseminated in the past several years regarding screening mammography guidelines.

“This is just more misleading info,” Shermis says. “Women and referring physicians are confused enough. We were just starting to see a bounce back in screening mammography from the backlash that resulted when the task force findings were issued. Now, this study compounds the confusion.”

Identifying cancer is not a perfect science, Shermis notes. However, it is the job of breast imagers, oncologists, and surgeons to follow the proper steps required to make the best educated decision possible when it comes to breast cancer detection and ultimately a course of treatment.

“Nothing’s perfect,” he says, “but when you have the right people involved, it’s a relatively smooth process. Until we can identify cancers, we need to treat tumors that we find. Breast cancer screening has been profoundly successful in saving lives. As long as you have good standards for how to work up cancers and you follow them, you will have success.”

Radiologists, surgeons, and oncologists “all recognize that this tumor may not do anything,” Shermis adds. “None of us could look at a cancer and say we didn’t have to treat it. However, we’ve seen tiny cancers metastasize and large cancers do nothing. We’re not in a position to guess whether or not a tumor could lead to cancer.”

“The continuing dilemma for breast imagers is that we try to be as evidence-based as possible,” Lee says. “We’re not resting on our laurels. Clinical trials done with a half-million women over more than 20 years show us that mammography is still the gold standard for breast cancer screening. We need to stop picking apart the basic finding that mammography saves lives.”

Identifying Dangerous Tumors
Rather than a continued focus on the ethicality of breast cancer screening, Lee suggests that researchers look to finding a way to sort out which cancers have the potential to be lethal and which are safe to leave alone. Tamimi believes that’s where data from the Norwegian study can actually be used to help the evolution of breast screening guidelines. Pointing out instances of overdiagnosis and overtreatment of tumors found in the breast can help researchers determine where to focus next in the process of developing accurate breast cancer detection methods. Advancements in imaging technology and the use of ultrasound and MRI in scanning breast tissue continue to help locate tumors but, in many cases, also increase the incidence of false-positives. But there are other areas where further research could help identify what the technology is finding.

“They need to look at tumor characteristics and tumor markers and learn more about which traits are less aggressive,” Tamimi says.

“Many women aren’t even aware that overdiagnosis exists in breast cancer screening,” she adds. “The discussion started with prostate cancer, but more should be said regarding overdiagnosis in breast cancer. Women are being told they have a cancer, which comes with its own stress, and then they have to deal with treatment. They should really have a clear picture of whether or not what was found in their breasts is good or bad before making those decisions.”

For the immediate future, however, Tamimi understands how these findings can create confusion for women over time. “It’s disappointing to people to hear that screening mammography isn’t the tool that it’s been presented as,” Tamimi says. “Dialogue about overdiagnosis is important to get out there so that research and developments don’t stay stagnant.”

Tamimi says the Norwegian study serves as a starting point for more effective communication between physicians and patients regarding over-diagnosis, which she contends goes hand in hand with misdiagnosis.

Lee points out that while this study brings up the issue of too much screening and the potential for overdiagnosis that might come with that, at the same time state and federal governments are debating the legislation of mandatory breast density notification. Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia passed laws within the last two years that require radiologists to notify patients if they have dense breast tissue following routine screening mammography; other states, as well as the federal government, are considering similar measures this year. There is the belief that legislating dense breast notification could lead to more screening with ultrasound, MRI, and other imaging modalities, which could lead to more false-positives.

“On the one hand we’re saying there are too many false-positives and too much screening,” Lee says. “On the other hand, there is the breast density notification issue that will likely lead to more screening. As breast imagers we’re caught between two imperatives: screen less vs. screen more.”

While Lee recognizes that mammography is not perfect, it is the only screening tool that has been shown to decrease mortality from breast cancer. “The bottom line is that screening mammography saves lives,” she says.

Do No Harm By Dr. Yoshitaka Ohno

Giving people hope in order to enjoy a healthier, longer, and fuller life has been Dr. Yoshitaka Ohno’s mission since he left his medical practice in Japan over 20 years ago. He knew he could not practice the kind of medicine that was causing so much suffering to his patients. Japan’s medical system had become much like other western systems. It involves mostly drugs and surgery. It supplies misery rather than hope.

Dr. Ohno’s journey away from conventional medicine led him to what his mother called "humanitarian medicine." It allowed him to bring together six generations of medicine from his father’s family, and six generations of spiritual leadership from his mother’s family. He felt very fortunate to be the product of what has led him to mind/body/spirit medicine. This new medicine is based on having a close relationship with nature. Unless we pay attention to our natural environment and respect it, there will be no life left for our future generations. We are already killing nature. Soon it will be too late.

This book is the story of one doctor’s struggle to live his vision of humanitarian medicine. It is a journey through the pain of modern medicine, and the arrival at a new way of offering hope to people who are suffering.

PREVIEW: 

DO NO HARM

by Yoshitaka Ohno, M.D., Ph.D.

The Story of a Doctor's Struggle to Live 

His Vision of Humanitarian Medicine

She looked at me calmly. She was almost too calm. 

She had surrendered herself totally to her decision. 

There was no fear in her voice or in her eyes. She 

was resolved in her conviction to die. She got up 

from her bed and closed the door quietly, wanting 

privacy so no one else in the hospital would hear.

"Please help me die, Dr. Ohno. Please show mercy 

and help me die. I have asked you to stop giving 

me the anticancer drug. I can't take it anymore! I 

know you don't want to watch me suffer. Every time 

you inject me with this drug, I know you are also 

suffering as you watch me suffer. The other 

doctors have always ignored me while I struggled 

with the agony. But your eyes have always shown 

me such concern. You are the only doctor who has 

shown me such compassion."

When I decided that my patients were being 

given too much of a dangerous drug, I decreased 

the dosage. But other doctors on the staff would 

change my order and raise the dosage without 

notifying me, because they knew that would make 

them look good to the Chief of Medicine.

She continued to talk to me as if I were her son. 

She stopped and took another sip of her tea. 

During the silence, I started thinking about what 

she was saying. It was true that I was struggling 

and I was showing the fatigue from my internal 

battle. I was not sleeping well. As tired as I was, I 

would lie in bed, unable to sleep. Then I would get 

up and sit at my desk. I would think about her and 

how I could help her. I often thought to myself, 

"Why did I become a doctor?"

When I first became a doctor, I seemed to be able 

to find ways to help my patients. But now, 

instead of being a healer, I felt more like a murderer.

 I knew my struggle would continue if I didn't find a

 better way to help my patients like her, who 

continued to suffer the pain and indignity of a death 

that I was causing.

As I watched this woman collapse in sobs while 

she continued to plead, a part of me was dying. 

But I knew that I now had to present her with the 

cruel facts. I spoke to her with tears in my eyes, as 

honestly and kindly as I could.

"Your cancer has already metastasized through 

your body, even to your brain. I am sorry but I 

am recommending that you go to hospice because 

there is nothing more we can do. The damage is 

irreversible. The more chemotherapy you are given, 

the sooner you will die. This drug not only kills 

cancer cells, but also destroys the healthy cells. 

You need to stop because the side effects are worse 

and are causing too much suffering."

Just then the Chief of Medicine of the hospital 

entered the room. He must have heard me because

 he said, "Dr. Ohno, I will take care of this patient. 

I can help her. Please have this patient signed over

 to my care."

The Chief of Medicine looked firmly at the 

suffering patient and began. "Dr. Ohno is right, but

 I think I can save you with a new drug I developed.

 It is still in the experimental stage, but it kills only

 cancer cells and has no side effects"

His words were totally unexpected by her. Her 

expression went from despair to hope. She began

 to cry with tears of joy. The Chief of Medicine 

stood there with the same arrogant and smug look

 I had come to know since arriving at the hospital.

 However, despite the deep emotion of hope that 

filled the room, I was both sad and angry. I knew

 that his anticancer drug had very strong side

 effects and would cause this poor woman even 

more suffering.

This was the first of what was to prove to be 

many rude awakenings for me. After years of 

medical school and training, of struggling to find

 humane ways to treat people, I was now facing

 the grim reality of having to allow my superior

 to treat patients as though they were 

experimental animals. It was obvious that he 

had no empathy for terminally ill people. I wanted 

desperately to step in and disagree, but I knew it 

would be futile and would spell the end of my 

medical career.

As I watched my patients suffer in agony from taking

 anticancer drugs, I was experiencing my own 

torment as well. I was becoming consumed with 

the memory of my mother's words to me after my 

father's death. The memory of that tragic period 

of my life started to overwhelm me. My father was

 a very famous surgeon who died when he was 

42 years old. He worked long and hard to keep 

his hospital operating at its peak. His dedication 

cost him his life. He died of an aneurism during 

surgery.

This book is about the times in my life when I had
to encounter many struggles in order to gain greater
insight and appreciation of the final

outcome. While I report the horrors I experienced 

during my years of practicing medicine in Japan, I 

also show how I was able to find a way to answer 

the cries of despair of my patients. This was not 

easy. It required that I make a decision that would 

put me at risk and force me to leave my practice.

 But during this process, I learned to become a 

better doctor, more concerned about the welfare 

of my patients rather than the rewards of fame 

and fortune, which, unfortunately, have become 

the driving force of modern medicine.

I did not have to take this road. It would have been 

easier to follow the program and do what my 

superiors told me to do. I come from a very 

prominent family in Japan and have always had 

choices and opportunities. But the values given 

to me by my family led to my decisions, which, 

though distressing at first, brought me to what I 

believe is my destiny.

I believe that there has always been an invisible 

force within me, guiding my direction and encouraging

 me to discover my true calling in life. As I have 

proceeded on my journey, there is one principal 

factor that has continually surfaced. This factor is 

contribution, the act of giving to others, directly 

from one's heart. This affects not only the recipient, 

but something of equal importance: the essence of 

our being.

I also believe, more than anything else, that my 

mission to help humanity is derived directly from 

giving people the awareness of how vitally 

important contribution is to the soul of the benefactor.

My vision has become a vehicle that can assist

people to gain an understanding that, as they

direct their energies to give of themselves with a 

pure and open heart, they will ultimately fill an

emptiness that resides deep within their spiritual 

center.

Through years of study and experimentation in 

seeking better ways of delivering good health care,

 I found the significant interrelationship between 

health and nature, and its impact on the quality 

of life. The best example is our precious water 

supply. After you read this book, you will 

become more knowledgeable about water; all 

water is not the same. You will learn that the 

quality, content, and even the structure of the 

water in your body can make the difference 

between sickness and health.

In order to test this theory, I tested many water 

sources. While I was conducting research in Japan, 

I discovered a naturally magnetized water that was

 being used by a prominent physician with his 

patients suffering from serious diseases, many

 which I had also been treating. As I observed

 and studied these patients, it became 

apparent that this water was unique and had 

therapeutic benefits.
