Beat and Alcohol Abuse With A Balanced Body Chemistry Approach

Drug and alcohol treatment has a notoriously poor success rate. It has it’s place as a behavior modification technique but it has to be improved. I don’t treat this but I have some charts in my files of addicts and alcoholics. All of my charts have common glandular patterns among alcoholics and addicts.

Post pit deficiency is a factor in bipolar disorder and many alcoholics and addicts use these substances as a form of self-treatment. If they are depressed they may use or alcohol to recapture the manic high that they like. Kay Jamison has reported that, “Mania can be as addicting as .” Some report, “It makes me feel good.” If a bipolar is manic they can also use alcohol for it’s sedating effect. In either case alcohol is probably the worst thing you can take. Alcohol in fact has a depressing effect on the posterior pituitary gland. A depressed posterior pituitary gland is the major contributing factor in bipolar disorder so alcohol can and does make the condition worse.

Addicts may also use for the same purpose, to get high and to be mildly sedated. “It makes me feel good. ”If they are bipolar and agitated the is a way to calm them down. However it’s not the best way. To understand this you first have to discover the mechanism of bipolar disorder which is largely unknown by researchers and the general public.

I have also seen patients that have an over active anterior pituitary gland who are alcoholics and abusers. The alcohol and the are used as a way to slow down the engine and sometimes the agitation that goes with an over active anterior pituitary gland. In some cases they might be hypoposterior pituitary and also have an overactive anterior pituitary gland. While this pattern gives individuals great determination and drive they may also be over engined.

In any case, and alcohol are a cop out. These individuals besides having a biochemical need may be deeply frustrated by past events, failure to fit in, failure to accomplish anything, failure to stick to a task or a job, failure to excel in school, just plain boredom from failing to set goals, and a main cause failure to know themselves. In my opinion, everything depends on a complete and accurate diagnosis of the individual by
knowledgeable healers and/or by the individuals themselves.

Most don’t like to look within. However without knowing the Page system it’s hard to look within. Those using and alcohol as a form of self treatment should learn their inherited glandular pattern because it’s quite possible that this pattern is causing many of the problems that they are trying to correct with and alcohol. A forthcoming book will discuss the glandular patterns that affect personality and how they affect it. Your glands are a powerful influence. In fact just as strong as the and alcohol that you may use.

Beat Diabetes (Type1 and Type 2)
With Better Diagnosis and Treatment
What the medical establishment doesn’t know about your disease.

There is a fundamental flaw in the way that diabetes is treated in contemporary medicine. The flaw is partially that of diagnosis and secondly that of treatment. I’m a dentist and not an endocrinologist but endocrinologists for whatever reason have not been trained in a diagnostic and treatment technique that I learned over forty years ago that works for diabetes. It turns out that the same treatment that can be used for diabetes also works for periodontal disease. These diseases are often seen together.

I learned from a dentist, Melvin Page D.D.S. whom I would call a diagnostic genius. He trained over 275 physicians and dentists before his death in 1983 at age 93. Most of these students of Page are retired or passed on and I remain as one of very few individuals who teach Dr. Page’s technique to the general public and to healthcare professionals. I also balance body chemistry for dental purposes but a side benefit is more normal blood sugar levels.

Dr. Page was the son of a physician who died when Dr. Page was just a young boy. Dr. Page’s mother moved the family from Picture Rocks Pa. to Michigan where he grew up and went to college and subsequently dental school, He was a student of Dr. Weston Price’s work with primitive civilizations. Price claimed that individuals who got sick had abnormal calcium levels. It was Page who discovered that the ratio of calcium to phosphorous was more important. It was a marker for glandular balance and abnormal ratios eventually led to degenerative diseases, one of these being diabetes.

Why is Dr. Page’s treatment a better alternative and why was he so sure that his treatment was correct? Though the treatment of thousands of patients and Dr. Page treated over 4000 and ran over 40,000 blood chemistries he was able to come up with a better diagnostic approach and subsequently better treatment. His method is simple and fast and ingenious. He examined 25 healthy nurses at a hospital in Michigan. They had no decayed or filled teeth. Their blood chemistries on a good diet showed a calcium/phophorosphorus ratio of 2 ½:1 and an ideal blood sugar value of 85. He also observed diabetic patients who had achieved ideal blood sugar values. The calcium/phosphorous values were also 2 ½:1. He then postulated that if your glands were in perfect balance and you were on a good diet these ratios would be ideal. If your glands were out of balance you would not have that norm.

What is the major flaw in current diabetes treatment?. The flaw is the failure to diagnose and treat problems with the pituitary gland. This gland is almost never treated by modern medicine except for extreme endocrine problems that you see in textbooks. This gland plays a major role in all diabetic conditions except for true sub function of the pancreas. For example posterior pituitary gland deficiency is present in all cases of type two diabetes. Dr. Page with his system of anthropometric measurements found that 88% of American women and 39% of American men have varying degrees of posterior pituitary gland deficiency. He also claimed that the deficiency is becoming worse in succeeding generations and he claimed it is probably through the use of sugar and alcohol. Could this be the reason that obesity and type 2 diabetes is on the increase? I have also observed that as we get older the deficiency worsens. This glandular deficiency is not treated in any routine case of type two diabetes today.

The second flaw in the current system is that an over active anterior pituitary gland is often seen in type 1 diabetes. This also is not routinely treated. It has long been known that over active glands will increase blood sugar levels. An over active thyroid will raise blood sugar and an over active anterior pituitary gland will raise blood sugar.We call it a glycogen converter. These over active conditions have to be treated before insulin is even considered. Then if insulin has to be used the dosage is much smaller and sometimes it is not needed at all.

How To Diagnose

The Page system of anthropometrics will tell you what is going on with the pituitary gland, the thyroid gland and the sex hormones. These glands have to be playing in tune if you want to be healthy. I simplified the Page diagnosis somewhat so that you can quickly determine what is going on with your pituitary gland. If you have over function of the anterior pituitary gland or under functioning of the posterior pituitary gland then I guarantee that your diabetes is being treated incorrectly. All diabetics should know this information.

Glandular patterns that should be treated in diabetes cases.

Hypo –Posterior Pituitary

Hyper-anterior pituitary

Hypo posterior pituitary, hyper anterior pituitary combination.

Hyper-thyroid

Treatment of these glandular patterns will in all cases lower blood sugar levels. A corrected diet should also be used. If after this treatment blood sugar levels are not sufficiently low then and only then should insulin be considered.

Type Two Diabetes

Posterior pituitary deficiency is evident in all cases of type two diabetes. This deficiency is not normally treated by the medical establishment. Page found that 88% of women and 39% of men have deficiency of the posterior pituitary gland. The amount of deficiency can vary but it usually gets worse as you get older. Other problems are aassociated with this deficiency so correction of the posterior pituitary gland will help these problems also. Page found that posterior pituitary gland deficiency is associated with depression, manic depression, essential hypertension, osteoporosis, periodontal disease, spontaneous abortion, high tooth decay rates.

Some external characteristics of this deficiency are saddle bags or a double hip curve in women, bald spot at the crown of the head in men who also have the baldness gene, a double chin in men. There is also a consistently low urine specific gravity below 1.018 on a diet free of alcohol, caffeine, diuretics, or other medications. There can be weight problems and the weight problems are worse if the anterior pituitary is also underactive.

Combination Types

You can easily be hypo posterior pituitary and hyper anterior pituitary. The posterior pituitary deficiency will cause type 2 diabetes and the hyper anterior pituitary will cause what my be called type 1 Both problems have to be corrected if you want to have normal blood sugar levels. Too often both problems are not corrected and they end up giving you too much insulin in an attempt to lower blood sugar. There can be excessive weight gain and blood sugar levels don’t normalize. It all starts with the correct diagnosis. The measurements will tell you what gland to treat and calcium/phosphorous levels and blood sugar levels will tell you if you are right.

Type 1 diabetes is considered to be insulin dependent diabetes. This terminology can be confusing. If the pancreas puts out too little insulin this could be termed type 1 diabetes. However, this type 1 diabetes is usually accompanied by an overactive anterior pituitary gland which is constantly elevating blood sugar levels. Should this be termed type 1, technically no. You could term it non-insulin dependant. So maybe you could term it type 2. I would term it misdiagnosed type 1. Many who are taking insulin have this type of diabetes. This diabetes is caused by an over active anterior pituitary gland and this gland has to be treated. Sometimes a micro amount of insulin can be used such as 2-3 units of a slow acting insulin but this is usually not necessary. The anterior pituitary gland is opposed by the sex hormones and the correct combination of the sex hormones will work, every time. After this treatment if blood sugar values are not normal then insulin can be considered, but this is the last choice.

What are other characteristics of this type of diabetes pattern. It can involve arthritis, periodontal disease, osteoporosis, arteriosclerosis heart disease, elevated lipid levels, cancer, and possibly other killer diseases that haven’t yet been associated with this pattern.. Cancer is often associated with what is usually diagnosed as type 1 diabetes. However this diabetes is caused by an over active anterior pituitary gland which mobilizes too much glycogen into blood sugar. An over active anterior pituitary gland is seen in 95% of all cancer cases. Cancer is an unusually fast growth of cells and the added growth hormone from an over active anterior pituitary is believed to be the cause of this. Dr. Page was asked one time what was his most important discovery. His response was the use of the sex hormones in the treatment of disease. I was a little surprised because I would of thought he would say it was the use of pituitary for the subfunction of this gland. Although quite important I now see why. It’s because an over active anterior pituitary is associated with so many killer diseases and the sex hormones are quite effective in suppressing this over-activity.

Page was also one time asked. What is worse for you sugar or milk? He said milk. This is because there is an over abundance of growth hormone in cow’s milk. Many weightlifters today use whey which is a milk protein as a source of growth hormone. This can be quite harmful and even lethal. They may say they are not taking growth hormone but they really are in quite large amounts.

How is this type of diabetes treated?

The patient is measured using the Page method and if there is an over active anterior pituitary gland various combinations of the sex hormones are tried and the blood sugar is monitored. Also the calcium/phosphorous ratios are checked. With the correct combination of sex hormones the blood sugar levels are lowered and the calcium/phosphorous ratio improves. Other glands are checked such as the posterior pituitary and thyroid.. Only if blood sugar levels are not normal or close to normal is insulin tried. Most often insulin is not necessary and if it is necessary the dosages are very small. The normal output of insulin from the pancreas is only 17 units per day and yet many diabetics take much more than this. This should tell you that something is wrong. Patients are put on the Page Fundamental Food Plan. This Plan is listed on the internet and is also in this book) With this regimen abnormal blood sugar values improve every time unless the problem is primarily due to pancreatic sub function.

With this glandular pattern I have observed other problems that are almost always present. There can be periodontal problems around the teeth, there can be heart and circulatory problems related to arteriosclerosis, there can be increased lipid levels, there can be arthritis and/or osteoporosis. I have found that correction of the blood sugar problem with the proper sex hormone.or combination of sex hormones always helps these or most all of these problems without the use of prescription drugs.

Testing Procedures

If you have been diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic. I would perform this simple test first. Determine the specific gravity of your urine when you go to bed at night and the first thing in the A.M. The simplest way to do this is to get some Multi Strips for urine specific gravity from your pharmacy. There are color indicators that will tell you the specific gravity of your urine. This system is rather crude and I prefer to use a midget urinometer. These are available by typing midget urinometer on the internet.and obtain one from that source. The specific gravity of your urine if you are not taking caffeine or diuretics should be 1.018-1.022. If it is below 1.018 you are low in posterior pituitary. This is because ADH or antidiuretic hormone comes from the posterior pituitary gland so if this gland is sub functioning you will be low in ADH and you won’t concentrate your urine sufficiently.

If you have been diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic then you have to know your inherited glandular pattern in order to be properly treated. There is a good probability that you are receiving too much insulin.

Insulin Resistance

This diagnosis has been applied to cases that don’t respond well to insulin. Is this another indication that insulin is over-used. Has the true diagnostic cause of the diabetes been missed. Is there failure to treat a sub functioning posterior pituitary gland and/or an over functioning anterior pituitary gland.. The answer to all of these questions is probably “yes”.

Your Job

Since modern medicine won’t do it you have to determine your own inherited glandular pattern . You can have a trained healthcare professional (one who has studied the Page technique) do it for you or do it yourself using this book. You have to use Dr.Page’s amazing system of anthropometric measurements. You have to determine if there other contributing factors to your diabetes.

A Streamlined System

Dissemination of Dr. Page’s work became easier a few years ago with the advent of e-mail, You Tube, Life Extension Foundation, and the fax machine. This enables me to see a patient one time for measurement and evaluation. They then can order blood chemistries from Life Extension Foundation (The tests are usually drawn at a Lab Corp site and the results sent to the patient who then sends them to me. Very complete blood chemistry evaluations are done at a very reasonable cost) I can then send them instructions via e-mail – a very fast and efficient system. My You Tube site entitled rforbes1 enables patients from all over the world to learn about the Page Technique. There are currently over 22 videos on that site.

Interpretation of the Page Graph

You can use a numerical table as depicted in this book which I devised or you can use the original Page graph. The numerical table is a little easier for beginners.

Are you andrc or gynic

Some typical glandular graphs seen in diabetes.

Addendum
.
Dr. Page was once asked what was his most significant discovery. He said it was the use of the sex hormones in the treatment of disease. I have asked myself why he made this choice. Perhaps it is because it is harder to take a way from over active glands than to add to deficient ones. Perhaps it is because over active glands contribute to may of the killer diseases, diabetes, heart attack, arteriosclerosis, cancer, and perhaps many more. However, I am in awe of the complete system such as the supplementation of thyroid and pituitary, especially since I personally have taken whole pituitary and posterior pituitary for over 40 years and I know first hand of the benefits. Several nutritionists have attempted to cut corners and only use parts of the system. They will get only partial results. As Dr. Page said, “This is the system, don’t change it. “ He need not worry about me, I’m convinced.

Beat Cancer Before You Get It!

Why am I able to write about cancer from seemingly a position of authority. Partly it’s because I am by nature analytical, I have overview, I’m observant, I’m a self-preservation type and I learned some helpful clues in 1971 from Dr. Melvin Page.D.D.S.. Since that time I have observed patients over and over again and find that the clues are indeed valid and this has compelled me to write this article.

Dr. Page was observant also and his research serves as the basis for this book. It is based on his treatment of over 4000 patients and over 40,000 chemistries. He didn’t leave many stones unturned. He used to say, “This is the system, don’t change it. I’ve tried everything else.”

Dr. Page used three tools, the calcium/phosphorous ratio, anthropometric measurements, and diet. His technique was called body chemistry balancing. This simple but ingenious system enabled him to zero in on a patient’s inherited glandular pattern, improve body chemistry and effect miraculous results for his patients.

Page found that if your glands are in perfect balance you will have a serum calcium/phosphorous ratio of 2 ½:1, for example if your serum calcium is 10, the phosphorous should ideally be 4 and your sugar should be 85. He then used this very sensitive tool to determine dosages of supplements as well as the correct supplements. This has been called the Page ratio.

A second tool is the anthropometric measurements which are outlined in detail in this book. They give a determination of the activity of the pituitary, thyroid, and glands. The determination of the pituitary and thyroid is about 95-98% accurate and the determination of the hormones is about 80% accurate from the measurements. However other factors such as body type and test results aid in this determination. As far as the hormones are concerned you can be andric or gynic or in the middle for your gender. If you are andric you have excessive male hormones and in males this can make you susceptible to prostate cancer. If you have excessive female hormones you are called gynic, regardless of , and this can make females susceptible to breast cancer. Page also claimed that gynicity in males or females is a factor in lung cancer, liver cancer and intestinal cancer. You can also be right in the middle with respect to hormones for your and this could be considered best. So part of the Page treatment is to correct excessive andricity and gynicity.

Another gland that is considered is the pituitary gland which has an anterior portion and a posterior portion. Both the anterior and posterior pituitary can be over active or under active. Also, the anterior pituitary can be normal and the posterior pituitary can be overactive or under active, Also, the post. pit can be normal and the anterior pituitary can be over active. (Seldom is the anterior pituitary under active without the posterior pituitary being underactive). The posterior pituitary can also be underactive and the anterior pituitary can be overactive.

In any case it is an overactive anterior pituitary that is the culprit in cancer susceptibility. Dr. Page claimed that it is present in 95% of all cancer cases. If you have this glandular pattern I wouldn’t walk but run to get it corrected. Why so? The anterior pituitary puts out growth hormone and cancer is an abnormally fast growth of cells. Therefore you don’t want any growth hormone in your diet and the over active anterior pituitary has to be suppressed. Page found that a minute amount of insulin and or the proper combination of the hormones can suppress this gland.

It has been long known that those with cancer more often than not have an elevated sugar level. This should be a clue and a warning sign. On a controlled diabetic diet and after a 12 hour fast your sugar should be 85. This is ideal. Why is an increased sugar a possible warning sign. This is because the anterior pituitary gland is a glycogen converter which converts stored sugar or glycogen into sugar. Many people with diabetes have an over active anterior pituitary gland. Diabetes is often found in combination with cancer.

Another clue that tells you that you have an over active anterior pituitary gland is a marked lessened circumference of the lower leg about four inches below the knee. This is not always determined visually but it is easily verified with body measurements.

Page’s third tool was diet. He used to say “TDIE” the diet is everything. His diet or food plan is in this book. For cancer patients he was particularly against sugar and anything that adds growth hormone. For example cows milk is a potent source of growth hormone and this has to be eliminated. You can dilute heavy cream 2-3:1 with water and you won’t get the hormones that are in the milk.

What if you get cancer? There is no certain cure but this is what I would do. Get all the conventional recommended treatment by your oncologist. This may include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Then make sure that your anterior pituitary gland is under control. This may include the proper hormones, estrogen, testosterone or possibly a combination of the two. Then I would also add a little insulin daily. Page used to use u-40 ultra-lente, about 3 units daily. However this is not available in the U.S. anymore. You could substitute u100 ultra lente about 2 units daily. I would use this combined with the hormones all the time, forever. If after a while your Ca/P ratio and sugar looks great, you could possibly eliminate the insulin. However, you must remember that it is harder to take away from an over active gland than to add to an underactive one. You should also be checked to make sure you are not excessively andric (excessive maleness) or excessively gynic (excessive femaleness). This should also be corrected. These two factors alone can cause increased cancer susceptibility.

Page was once asked, what was your greatest discovery? He said it was the use of hormones in the treatment of disease. Yet this is the hardest concept for me to convey to patients. Women think they are going to grow a mustache and men think they will be impotent. When in fact the opposite is usually true. With posterior pituitary women can be prevented from growing a mustache and both es could have increased libido. Page claimed that increased libido can be obtained in men with estrogen, testosterone and estrogen or testosterone alone. The proper combination must be used. The calcium/phosphorous ratio will tell you if you are right.

Why would the hormones work? The hormones oppose the anterior pituitary gland and help to keep it in check. Insulin will do the same thing. We usually check with the hormones first and then add insulin if necessary. Sometimes the hormones are completely sufficient. However, if it is a cancer case I would add insulin also and possibly for a long period of time. You have to deal with cancer with heavy artillery so this includes aggressive suppression of the anterior pituitary gland. This same protocol is often used in cases of diabetes which are usually called type 1. They may have some sub function of the pancreas but there is usually an associated over activity of the anterior pituitary gland. This has to be diagnosed and treated. An over active anterior pituitary is often associated with other problems such as arthritis, periodontal disease, elevated cholesterol, and arterioriosclerosis. When combined with excessive andricity it is a factor in early heart attacks.

An athlete’s potential big mistake: Many athletes today are eating large amounts of whey protein and then they say they aren’t taking growth hormone. But they are in large quantities. Whey is a milk protein and it is loaded with growth hormone. If they already have an over active anterior pituitary gland putting out a lot of growth hormone then the whey could be potentially lethal.

The dosages are small – Page’s dosages are almost never used in contemporary medicine. Some would even say that their effect is a placebo effect. However tests reveal otherwise. The serum calcium/phosphorous ratio and sugar value almost always idealize when the proper supplements at the proper dosage are given. A typical dosage testosterone is 1/100 mg and a typical dosage of estrogen is 2ru or two rat units or 1/600 mg.

The other major thing I would do is strictly follow the Page Fundamental Food Plan. This is provided in this book and it is also on the net and at www.ifnh.org.

An over active pituitary gland is a positive energizer. It gives many individuals the drive to accomplish great things. However, the over activity should be diagnosed early and treated early. The negative consequences on one’s health are too great. If cancer progresses and compromises your immune system it then becomes harder to treat.

The Hormone Mess and How To Fix It

There is no proven outright cure for cancer but the cases have accumulated in Dr. Page’s files and they are accumulating in mine that point to the fact that glandular predisposition is a main part of the cause and glandular correction has extended the lives of many individuals so afflicted. As a dentist I see many of my patients every six months, I know most of their glandular patterns even without measuring. I see many deteriorate in front of my eyes. Most have undying faith in modern medicine which unfortunately doesen’t help for some degenerative diseases. I know that a balanced body chemistry approach would help. Healthcare costs could be reduced in my opinion in the U.S. by as much as 50% and they haven’t gotten the word or have not heeded the word. The overall picture to me is not encouraging.

Addendum: Without Page’s discovery of the ideal calcium/phosphorous ratio it would be next to impossible to be sure of the correct hormone or hormone combination. You would be flying blind. Likewise it would be impossible to determine the correct dosage. Also you would have no assurance that what you are doing has any benefit and you can rule out placebo effect. It’s been shown that time and time again if patients attain and maintain the proper ratio and sugar value and eat right they will most likely be healthy.
