The Doctor Who Cures Cancer news update



Since you are a reader of my blog, you're going to be
receiving advance notice of some really good news.

Twelve years ago I wrote the book The Doctor Who Cures
Cancer
. , I've always wanted the god news to reach a wide
audience.

Much to my dismay the publisher sat on the book because I
wouldn't accept his offer to reduce my royalties by 65%.

Recently, I put the book online in an eBook format. (This
isn't the good news I had promised above.) Some readers have taken
advantage and enjoyed it quite a bit.

Here is some feedback I've received already:

"Kelley, I love your writing style... easy readable, honest,
assertive, great sense of humor. You have to continue to
write. This country needs your books."

- Lyudmila Lachac, East Norwich, New York

Here's another:

"I have read a lot of books yet none of them were as clear
and interesting as this book. It’s the only one in the last
60 or 70 books that I couldn’t put down.

"With other books, after a half-hour I’m bored with them.
The Doctor Who Cures Cancer is written in a way that you
understand everything perfectly as you read it –
nobody writes like that!"

- Raquel Sanchez, M.D., Panama City Beach, Florida

Those comments were kind of cool for someone who struggled
at times to complete high school and college. I do love to
write a whole lot, though.

Still, for many people, there's nothing like holding the
book in your hands. Plus it can be easier to read that way.

So here's the good news. By sometime next week,
The Doctor
Who Cures Cancer will be available as a real book once again!

I'll let you know as soon as it's ready. You might want to
keep your eye out for my next blog.

Meanwhile, if you want to find out more about the book, here

The best to you,

Antibiotics banned in the UK?

Doctors in the UK are being advised not to prescribe antibiotics for colds, flues and sore throats. From the UK Telegraph online:

Alan Johnson, the Health Secretary, says it is time to end the unnecessary use of penicillin and other commonly-prescribed pills, which cost the NHS £1.7 billion a year.


Rebecca Smith, Telegraph Medical Editor
Watch: Why patients should not panic

Using antibiotics too liberally has led to bugs such as MRSA becoming resistant to treatment with the drugs. Most colds, coughs and flu are caused by viruses, which cannot be treated with antibiotics anyway, Mr Johnson points out.


Finally!

If we could get doctors in the US to do the same, the benefits to patients could be huge.

The government led program is designed to slow the spike of MRSA, a deadly bacterial infection that has been sweeping hospitals.

But the real danger of antibiotics far exceeds the hospital danger. Antibiotics allow yeast to spread in our bodies. That can make us crave sweets and excess carbs.

Why? Because the yeast lives on sugar and so does our brain. When we have too much yeast, our brain tells us it is starving. Then our brain walks us to the refrigerator or drives us to the store to buy high sugar and high carb foods.

In other words, antibiotics carry the real risk of causing our pants not to fit. A bigger waistline is a risk factor for all sorts of health problems including depression, heart trouble and diabetes.

Each of those factors decreases the quality of our lives and shortens life expectancy.

In short, antibiotics are dangerous drugs.

By the way, have you ever noticed how one round of antibiotics leads to another and another?

There's a good reason for that. I'll cover it in an upcoming post.
