CONTROL OF HYPERTENSION WITH
FEATHER BREATHING
Hypertension is addiction of arteries to
tightness. Every cruelty suffered tightens the muscles in
blood vessels as well as muscles throughout the body. The
tighter the vessels, which carry blood from the heart
(arteries), the higher the pressure of blood contained in
them. Every encounter with someone's stupidity adds to that
tightness—and to the blood pressure. Every insensitivity
experienced compounds the problem. Every ignorance suffered
perpetuates tightness of the muscles and arteries. This is
how arteries become addicted to tightness. With time, that
tightness thickens the arterial muscle layer (just like arm
muscles enlarge with weight lifting), and thickened muscle
makes arterial spasm more intense, further raising the level
of blood pressure. With passing years, the arteries become
chronically tight and blood pressure is kept high. This is
the beginning of the so-called essential hypertension, the
type suffered by more than 95% of people diagnosed with high
blood pressure.

Psoriasis Cannot Be Reversed With
Steroids and Chemotherapy
On February 2, 2010, the guest on my
radio program entitled “Science,
Health, and Healing” at WBAI radio,
New York, was a 31-year-old man. As
a teenager, he developed disabling
arthritis and became
wheelchair-bound. Two other aspects
of his illness were red, itchy skin
rashes and colitis. He was treated
with large doses of steroids. After
some initial improvement, his skin
rash flared and covered most of his
skin with areas of angry, scaling,
ulcerating, and oozing lesions. He
was and put on two chemotherapy
drugs: Methotrexate and Embrel
(costing over $2,000 dollars per
month of treatment). Again after
some initial improvement, his
condition deteriorated and he
required repeated courses of
antibiotics for acute-on-chronic
sinusitis and antifungal drugs for
toe fungus.

OXYGEN AND ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
August 28, 2010, The New York Times ran a
front page story entitled "Years Later, No
Magic Bullet Against Alzheimer's Disease."
This was a grave disservice to Times'
readers. Consider the following quote from
the report:
"But the jury’s verdict was depressing and
distressing. So far, nothing has been found
to prevent or delay this devastating
disease, which ceaselessly kills brain
cells, eventually leaving people mute,
incontinent, unable to feed themselves,
unaware of who they are or who their family
and friends are."
So far, nothing has been found to prevent or
delay this devastating disease. This is a
shameful distortion of the facts.
Alzheimer’s disease, first and foremost, is
an oxygen problem of the brain cells caused
by the trio of toxicities of foods,
environment, and thoughts, such as heavy
metal overload, toxic protein deposition,
gut fermentation, and others that block
oxygen's energetic and detergent functions.
In my book Oxygen and Aging (2000), I
devoted a chapter to Alzheimer’s disease and
the use of oxystatic therapies to prevent it
and arrest its course in early and
intermediate stages.

Breathing.
SAVING THE
HEART WITH SLOW BREATHING
The Lungs Offer An Escape From the Tyranny
of An Irritated Heart
Can a restless heart save 40,320 beats per
day? Hard to believe the answer is yes.
Consider the following example: A
40-year-old man presented with a two-year
history of overactive thyroid gland
(hyperthyroidism), heart palpitations,
"shakes," pain and stiffness involving
several joints, and chronic fatigue. His
heart rate was 102/minute despite treatment
with an anti-thyroid drug (methamazole). An
ABT test (see the article on the test at
this web site for details) was performed on
his first visit.
Seven minutes of Feather Breathing (the
simplest form of Limbic Breathing) performed
as a part of the ABT test brought his heart
rate from 102/minute down to 74/minute. At
the lower rate, his heart would save 40,320
beats per day. He understood clearly the
benefit of Feather Breathing.
Wouldn't his heart rate return to the high
rate of over 100 per minute when he stops
Feather Breathing? A cardiologist friend
asked. You can't expect anyone to do Feather
Breathing at all times? he continued. These
questions have merit. One does not expect a
heart to slow down so dramatically on a
permanent basis merely with ten minutes of
Feather Breathing. However, it can avert a
crisis in the short-term and, slowly and
steadily, address the problems of an
overdriven heart. I also point out that in
integrative medicine we strive to detect and
address all relevant issues. I consider
stress control with Feather Breathing an
essential part of the total program.
Feather
Breathing
Feather Breathing is the simplest method of
Limbic Breathing in which one:
- Sets no goals;
- Completely ignores how one breathes in;
- Breathes out slowly and comfortably; and
- Never analyzes whether the breathing is
done correctly.
The lungs offer an escape from the tyranny
of an irritated heart. This is the main
lesson this patient taught me. Of course,
all irritants that overdrive the heart must
be identified and addressed for good
long-term clinical results.
For readers interested in detailed
information about Feather Breathing and
other forms of Limbic Breathing, as well as
various clinical applications of these
healing methods, I suggest my one-hour video
seminar entitled "Limbic
Breathing."

RESTORATIVE SLEEP
As is the day, so goes the night. That, in
simple words, is the full story of sleep disorders. The days
of individuals with stress, anger, and chronic disease are
often difficult; not surprisingly, so are their nights. Many
people have poor sleep habits before the diagnosis of
chronic illness is made.
The shock of the initial diagnosis
nearly always brings along sleepless nights. The search for
the right treatment option usually worsens the problem.
Asthma is caused by mold allergy,
adverse food reactions, and
environmental pollutants. Stress
increases the scale of suffering of
the patient. The shame of this
article is that no attempt was made
to address these crucial issues.
Specifically, the expensive drug of
unknown long-term toxicity was not
compared with safe and inexpensive
non-drug measures that address
environmental, nutritional, and
stress-related factors.
How Do Diabetes Drugs Cause Heart Attacks,
Stroke, Cancer,
Kidney Failure, and Blindness?
The simple answer: All persons with Type 2 diabetes suffer
from excess insulin and
insulin toxicity, and all diabetes
drugs increase the degrees of insulin toxicity. Excess
insulin is acidifying, "free-radicalizing," inflaming, and
increases the buildup of grease in fat cells. By these
molecular mechanisms, all diabetes drugs increase the risk
of heart attacks, stroke, cancer, kidney failure, and
blindness. Most people will be surprised—many deeply
distressed—by my statement. I cite specific data to support
my position.
When was
the last time you went to a shoe store to
buy flowers? Why would I go to a shoe store
to buy flowers, you ask. That is the point.
Please remember my question the next time
you ask a question about nutrition from a
doctor who does not use nutrient therapies
to reverse chronic diseases.

Tutorial 7.1
In this tutorial, by bowel, I mean
the entire alimentary tract.
Evolution developed the system as an
integrated whole. While the
structural divisions of the mouth,
esophagus, stomach, ileum, and colon
are valid, the functional
separateness are illusory. This
becomes clear from this and other
tutorials in this course.
Oxygen governs the human body with
an enormous network of signals.
Oxygen heals by orchestrating a vast
and intricate system of intelligence
that detects and responds to injury.
It ushers life in and then
terminates. It does so by
initiating, enhancing, perpetuating,
and terminating signals that
regulate all aspects of human
energetics, development, and demise.
In the tutorial entitled The Grease and
Detergent Model of Obesity, I defined
obesity as a problem caused by dead fat
cells. None of the weight loss plans, to my
knowledge, address this basic cause of
obesity. This, in my view, is the
explanation of the failure of weight loss
programs. Some very wealthy and well known
people have fought obesity for decades and
failed. They had cycles of weight loss and
weight gain—their general health nearly
always deteriorated in the weight loss
phase. The weight gain phase took them to
weights that exceeded their pre-dieting
weight. They employed personal chefs and
trainers but to no avail.
A healthy fat cell has natural, unrancid,
"living fat." A dead fat cell has rancid and
"dead fat." An injured fat cell has a
mixture of living and dead fat. Cellulite is
masses of dead fat cells. In fatty change of
the liver" a condition caused by toxins" a
large number of liver cells become loaded
with dead fat, cannot breathe, and
eventually die.
Living fats" there are hundreds in the human
body" freely move in and out of cells. Dead
fats cannot. The explanation of this is
simple. Nature designed the cell membranes
as fluid mediums to allow living fats ready
passage in and out of cells. These membranes
owe their fluidity largely to fats embedded
in their structure. So, healthy fats in cell
membranes facilitate the movement of fats
from foods and other body fluids through
them. By contrast, the membrane fats of dead
cells are dead" turned, twisted, and impacted
into "grease," so to speak" and block the
movement of fats across them. The buildup of
grease in and around the fat cells is
largely caused by elements related to the
bowel and the liver (discussed at length on
this site in my article entitled The Grease
and Detergent Model of Disease.

SPIRITUALITY
The Uncertainty
Principle in
Integrative
Medicine
Tutorial 1.5
Majid Ali, M.D.
I offer a
thought
experiment. You
are holding a
basketball in
your hands and
facing two hoops
six feet apart.
You shoot the
ball through the
hoop to your
right. The ball
is returned to
you. Next you
shoot the ball
into the second
hoop. Is it
possible to
shoot the
basketball
through both
hoops at the
same time, while
they remain six
feet apart?
In
Newtonian
physics,
elements have
defined
characteristics
and established
interactions.
This is not the
case with
quantum systems
which have
domains of
uncertainty. In
fields of
healing—it seems
to me—we need to
consider aspects
of both the
Newtonian and
quantum worlds,
since healing
involves both
observable and
unobservable (in
the ordinary
sense)
phenomena. Doubt
and uncertainty
are integrative
to healing from
physical
disorders (i.e.
diseases).
Life is an injury-healing-injury cycle.
Oxygen governs all aspects of this
cycle with an enormous network of
signals. It orchestrates this cycle with a
vast and intricate system of oxygen
signaling - a network of communication that
detects injury and
organizes healing responses. Oxygen ushers
life in and then terminates it. These
roles involve the initiation,
enhancement, and termination
of processes that regulate all aspects of
energy production, cellular development, and
demise.
The strength of
Darwin’s core
tenet of natural
selection is
that in biology
so little
explains so
much. The core
strength of The Oxygen
Model of Disease,
in my view, is
that in medicine
so little
explains so
much.
April
26, 2010 Oxygen's
Three-legged
Throne Taken from Majid
Ali’s
forthcoming book
entitled “The
Oxygen Way:
Being One's Own
Primary
Physician.”
Oxygen occupies
the three-legged
throne (The
"Throne") of
human biology.
Insulin
serves as its
minister of
metabolism. The
three legs of
oxygen’s
throne represent
the
three primary
balancing
systems of body:
- Acid-alkali
balance;
-
Oxidant-antioxidant
regulation; and
- Clotting-unclotting
equilibrium.
Acids are
packets of
energy—built to
store energy and
broken down to
release
energy—used by
oxygen to
maintain the
energy economy
of the body. In
this model,
alkalis can be
visualized as
mineral
compounds that
serve many
functions in the
body as well as
provide a
counterbalance
to acid to
maintain
an acid-alkali
balance. The
body acids
include
breakdown
products of fats
(fatty acids),
proteins (amino
acids), starches,
and sugars. In
chemistry books,
acids are
defined as sour
compounds that
form salts with
alkalis.
However, this
aspect of acids
is not central
to the present
context.
OXYGEN,
GOUT, URIC ACID, AND DARWIN A
prism splits white light into a luminous
rainbow—then emboldens the colors. For me,
the “oxygen prism” splits the energetic
domains of the body—then sparkles them. This
is the core of oxygen thinking. It de-fogs
issues. Doctors look at uric acid as a
molecular villain. In this essay, I look at
it through the oxygen prism to seek clarity,
not only for understanding uric acid but
also for rational, safe, and effective
measures for the prevention and treatment of
gout. Recently, a colleague, Dr. Sabitha
Dasoju, M.B.,B.S, told me that her mother in
India saw an orthopedic surgeon for chronic
arthritis pain in her knees and hips. The
doctor noted an elevated blood uric acid
value and promptly prescribed five drugs,
including a high-dose steroid level. When my
colleague protested that her mother did not
have gout but osteoarthritis, the orthopod
shrugged her off by saying, “This is our
standard treatment for treating high uric
acid levels.”

SAVING HEART
Can a Restless Heart Save 40,320
Beats Per Day?
It must be hard to believe for
people who have never closely
observed the effects of how they
breathe on how they feel. The
answer: Absolutely yes. Here is
the proof:
A 40-year-old man
presented with a two-year
history of hyperthyroidism,
arthralgia, chronic fatigue,
palpitations, “shakes,” and cold
sensitivity. His heart rate was
102/minute despite his treatment
with Methamazole. An
AUTONOMIC BREATHING TEST
was performed on his first
visit.
Ten
minutes of Feather Breathing,
including a training period,
brought his heart rate from
102/min. down to 74/min. At the
lower rate, his heart would save
40,320 beats per day. He
understood clearly the benefit
of Feather Breathing.
Readers are likely to
ask: How long do such benefits
last? That is a valid question.
The answer: Initially, the
benefits of Feather Breathing
only last for a short time.
However, with frequent Feather
Breathing while at work and home
bring about an enduring change.
Here are
the words of someone else who
suffered from heart
palpitations: “The best
way to control heart
palpitations.”
Now consider another quote:
“I developed a sudden severe leg
cramp. I didn’t know what to do.
I breathed slowly and within
moments it was gone."
Scientific Basis of Benefits of
Feather Breathing
In simplest words, slow
breathing allows more time for
oxygen to pass from air sacs in
the lung to capillaries in the
lungs. This is the miracle of
slow breathing. All it takes to
break heart palpitations
and painful muscle spasm in legs
is just a little more oxygen.
Most cardiovascular emergencies
are created by buildup of lactic
acid and other acids. The
simplest method
for reducing blood lactic acid
levels is with limbic breathing.
This is, in my judgement, the
most precious first-aid kit that
everyone can carry with him at
all times. One cannot misplace
it. It is always there when you
need it. Feather
Breathing Feather
Breathing is the simplest form
of Limbic Breathing which gives
the best results for
beginners. For practical
guidance, I urge the readers to
view my video seminar entitled "Limbic
Breathing." I include a long
chapter on Limbic Breathing in
my book
The Cortical Monkey and Healing.

Oxygen and Dumbed-down Science Series Essay 25 Autism: It
Is Toxicity, Friend!
The autism world is
febrile in search of “the missing
link”—mercury in vaccines, some fungal
toxins, a virus, an environmental chemical,
an immune reaction, some mutated gene—as is
expected of people who do not understand the
simple notion of cumulative load. I predict
none will be found.
Is the incidence of
autism spectrum disorder (ASD) rising? Yes.
Why is that so? Because the developing
brains of unborn babies are being assaulted
by an increasing number of noxious agents.
Will it continue to rise? I predict it will.
Do you recall a day when you ran after a
toddler on a beach or at a pool and then
breathed heavily for several
moments? Why
did you breathe that way? To get more
oxygen, you say correctly. Did you ever
workout in a gym more than you should have
and then felt tired for a day? How did that
happen? Lactic acid buildup in muscles, you
say. Why did that happen? Because there was
not enough oxygen to burn those acids, you
reply. Basic exercise physiology stuff.
Next consider the case of a young woman who
develops persistent fatigue that interferes
with her job. She consults her doctor who
diagnoses chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). He
talks about many things, orders several lab
tests, but does not mention the word oxygen.
Why not? The answer: science is dumbed-down.
The doctor follows The New England
Journal of Medicine and the Journal
has never considered the deficiency of
oxygen in the cause of chronic fatigue
syndrome.
CASTOR-PRES
Majid Ali, M.D.
I introduce the term "Castor-Pres" for a simple,
inexpensive, and effective natural approach to control
of all forms of chronic pain. It combines topical castor
oil and sesame rubs with gentle repetitive pressure on
trigger points, either with tapping or simple rotary
motions of fingers. In general, I recommend that castor
and sesame oils be separately on 3:1 day rotation.
Needless to point out, all natural remedies for pain
control require that the presence of tumors, active
infections, and other specific lesions should be first
ruled out by the individual's doctors.

People own their disease names with ferocity. It seems to be
a complex issue worthy of someone with profound insights
into the deep recesses of the human mind—let’s say, some
Freud’s gifted disciple—who is an expert of separation
anxiety. Or, could there be a simple answer. During my
boyhood, I often picked up fallen tree branches and swung
them around aimlessly. The sticks had to be thrown away
before entering my house. l recall my unease at throwing
them away. I suppose they became my companions during walks.
We get used to our companions—get invested in them, so to
speak—even when they are mere sticks.
The diagnosis—a disease name chosen for a person by a
doctor—arrives after varying periods of suffering discomfort
and pain. It should not be hard to see how quickly and
deeply invested one might become in the diagnosis.
Discarding that diagnosis—“disowning disease,” so to
speak—is expected to be difficult. Some wise folks might
call its separation anxiety. Read Oxygen and

Oxygen,
Muscle Pain, Vitamin D, Magnesium, and Q10
Muscles hurt when they cry
for oxygen during day as well as night. Your
doctor may have awarded you the diagnostic
label of polymyositis or fibromyalgia for
daytime muscle pain or hardened arteries for
nighttime cramps. Such labels create dark
boxes of ignorance, the more devoted one
becomes the diagnoses, the deeper one gets
mired in their quicksand.
The muscle cells cry for oxygen because they
cannot breathe - literally and figuratively.
They cannot breathe because they are covered
with cellular grease (see my article
entitled "The Grease and Detergent Model of
Disease" on this website for a detailed
discussion). The components of Dr. Ali's

effortlessly and odorlessly once or twice
daily. The frequency with which people roll
their eyes when I use these words in my
lectures indicates how far removed from
their nature many people are.
The bowel is forgiving, not forgetful. It is
tolerant but to a point. Its vocabulary is
rather limited; when insulted, it bloats,
cramps, screams, or becomes lifeless. When
the offense continues, it ulcerates and
bleeds. The bowel does not write poetry,
even though people appreciate art and beauty
at the gut level.

THE BABOON, GLUTEN, GUT PERMEABILITY,
AND ZONULIN-GATE
Majid Ali with Linus
Pauling in 1992
At the spring meeting 1992 meeting of
the American College of Advancement in
Medicine in Dallas, as the program
director I had the privilege of hosting
Linus Pauling, a two-time winner of the
Nobel Prize. I asked him how much
vitamin C he took daily.
"Eighteen grams," Dr. Pauling
replied.
"Doesn't it cause loose bowel
movements?" I asked.
"What do you have against loose
bowel movements?" he asked.
"Nothing. Nothing, really," I
stammered.
"Open bowels are good for
health," he chuckled.
Baboons With Open Bowels
There is a pedigreed colony of baboons
with hereditary chronic diarrhea. I do
not know if they consider their loose
bowel movements a problem. A baboon of
that clan might respond to an inquiry
about his bowel as Dr. Pauling
did: What do you have against loose
bowel movements?"
A drug company plans to use the baboons
as a primate non-human model of gluten
sensitivity and celiac disease. It will
drug the baboons to find out the effects
of its drugs. Will the baboons consent
to this drug experiment? How will their
natural bowel rhythms be affected by the
drug? Since the bowel ecosystem serves
as the roots of the immune defenses of
the body, how many baboons will sicken?
And in how many ways"?
And for how long?Death begins in the
colon, the ancients taught. How many
baboons will die because their bowel
rhythm—including their gut transit
time—will be violated? Read

OXYGEN,
GLUTEN SENSITIVITY, AND HEALING - PART
ONE
Gluten-free Diet for Gluten Sensitivity
Abstract Glutens are
two grain proteins - glutenin and gliadin
enmeshed in starches - that cause a wide
spectrum of clinical disorders in some
individuals. One simple form is wheat
intolerance. At the other end of the
spectrum is the severe form of
gluten-sensitive enteropathy (GSE) called
celiac disease. In Part Three of this
series, I include a very long list of celiac
disease-associated conditions to define the
scope of clinical problems associated
with gluten proteins. I begin this three
part series about gluten sensitivity by
first summarizing my experience with
gluten-related clinical problems: Read

HEALING - PART TWO
Dr. Ali’s Leaky Bowel (DALB)
Protocol
Introduction
Heath and lifespan are profoundly
influenced by man-microbe harmony in
the bowel. Overgrowth of fermenting
bowel microbes (the “fermenters”)—in
my view—is the single most important
cause of chronic absence of health.
For decades, I wondered whether the
bioenergetics and chemistry of
chronic anger was a more important
cause of disease than the overgrowth
of bowel fermenters. Now I am
convinced that inflammation and
toxicity of fermenters is more
important. The problems of
gluten-sensitivity and celiac
disease can be neither understood
nor healed without understanding the
leaky gut state caused by overgrown
bowel fermenters. Later, I return to
this crucial issue to shed light on
the man-microbe disharmony that is
wreaking havoc on the bowel
ecosystem.

THE OXYGEN VIEW OF BI-PHASIC
HASHIMOTO'S DISEASE:
the Cause, Diagnosis, and Treatment
It is a mistake to look at Hashimoto’s
disease as a thyroid problem. It is a bigger
mistake to try to restore health by treating
Hashomoto’s thyroiditis as a disease. In
nearly all cases, it is a bi-phasic disorder
- the initial immune-inflammatory phase is
accompanied with overactivity while the
delayed phase is marked with underactivity
associated with incremental tissues injury
and near-total thyroid destruction.
The
challenge is how to restore thyroid health
in both overactive and underactive phases of
the disease without ending up with a
permanent thyroid burn-out. Integrative
treatment plans based on the oxygen (dysox)
model of Hashimoto's disease generally allow
us to achieve this goal. I focus on
nutrient, detox, and stress-reducing
therapies—with herbal formulations in the
initial overactive phase and natural thyroid
supplements in the later underactive
phase—while vigorously addressing all
coexisting allergic and immune disorders.

TSH TRENDING FOR
OPTIMAL TREATMENT OF THYROID DISORDERS
Many patients consult me for a diagnostic
quandary concerning the thyroid gland. They
are not well, often tired, may have gained
weight or developed other symptoms commonly
associated with thyroid disorders (listed at
the end). They suspect that a problem with
the thyroid gland may be at the root of
their health issues. However, their thyroid
laboratory test results are considered
normal by their doctors. In Part I of this
series, I listed eleven sources of confusion
and/errors that lead to poor results. In
this segment, I focus on what I consider to
be the single most valuable blood test that
clarifies our thinking and helps us avoid
mistakes: the TSH (thyroid-stimulating

THE MISUNDERSTOOD
THYROID
Eleven Sources of Confusion and
Mismanagement
Part one of a Five-part series There is a spreading pandemic of thyroid
disorders. It has three primary causes:
Toxic environments,
Toxic foods, and
Toxic thoughts.
The trio of toxicities of environments,
foods, and thoughts inflicts cellular injury
by causing:
Excess acidity,
Incremental free radical stress, and
Thickening of the bodily fluids which
impairs circulation of the fluids.
Think Mold, Mold, Mold
As for environmental causes of thyroid
disorders, we should think about mold
allergy and mold toxins. Viruses, bacteria,
and parasites play only secondary roles.
Next to mold-related elements, the important
thyrotoxic substances are synthetic
chemicals with strong structural
similarities.

THOUGHT
REFORMS
Disease Is a State of Separation From
One's Nature
The United States needs
"thought reforms" far
more than health
insurance reforms. The
problems created
in kitchens, dining
rooms, streets,
schools, emergency rooms,
and doctors' offices
cannot be effectively
addressed by Congress,
nor by the
Administration, except
with a massive plan of
authentic education
concerning the matters of
toxic foods, toxic
environments, and toxic
thoughts. The curriculum
for such education must
be developed by
professionals who
practice nutritional
medicine, environmental
medicine, and energy
medicine for stress
control --- and not by
doctors who practice
drug medicine. This is a
different view of the
heath care reforms that
requires a fresh,
rational, and scientific
approach. It is
self-evident that the
problems created by
misspending money cannot
be resolved by
misspending more money.

HEALING HEARTBURN AND
GERD
The stomach sickens when it
slumps. Unable to be moved on by rhythmic
wave action of the stomach wall, highly
acidic food backs into the esophagus and
causes injury and inflammation there. The
stomach goes limp–loses its tone and
motility–for two reasons: deep
disappointments of life and toxins from the
bowel.
That is the full story of the disorders
called: (1) acid reflux disease; (2)
GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease; (3)
Barrett's esophagus; (4) esophageal ulcer
disease; and (5) erosive esophagitis.
My view is at variance with that of doctors
that use drugs to treat reflux-related
lesions.

INSULIN TOXICITY AND FATTY CHANGE Reversal With Insulin-Reducing Diet
and Detox Program
Fatty liver is an unrecognized epidemic
affecting all age groups. It is caused by
the trio of toxicities of foods,
environment, and thoughts. In most cases,
this trio inflicts liver cell damage by
triggering excess insulin production and
creating a state of insulin toxicity. Both
insulin toxicity and fatty change in the
liver cause pathologic inflammation, which
worsens the degrees of insulin-caused cell
injury and fatty change. Oxygen links the
trio of insulin toxicity, fatty liver, and
inflammation.

BEWARE! FASTING BLOOD
SUGAR OFTEN MASKS DIABETES
Is It Dangerous to Rely on Fasting Blood
Sugar Values? Part II It is a disservice for a doctor
to state that a normal fasting blood sugar
level means an absence of a significant
insulin/glucose disorder. I do not trust
fasting blood sugar values. In far too many
cases, I see the presence of insulin
toxicity, prediabetes, and even diabetes
associated with a fasting blood sugar level
which is within the normal laboratory range.
In Part I of this essay, I presented
case studies to illustrate healthy
insulin‑preserving profiles as well as cases
of excess insulin accompanied with normal
fasting blood glucose levels. I devote Part
III of this essay to the crucial subject of
insulin toxicity. Below are four questions I
raised in Part I that provide a framework of
reference for learning important lessons
from case studies outlined in these essays.

IS IT DANGEROUS TO RELY ON FASTING BLOOD
SUGAR VALUES? Majid Ali, M.D. (Taken from forthcoming
book entitled
Darwin's Drones,
Oxygen, and Diabetes)
Part I
What does a fasting blood sugar level
signify? What does the fasting status
reveal? What might it mask? In many cases, I
assert that the fasting status reveals
nothing and hides much. Indeed, in such
cases it is dangerously misleading. If so,
why do doctors insist on it?
In health, blood sugar levels are
essentially regulated by insulin. Even in
obesity, prediabetes, and disease states,
other glucose-regulating hormones play only
secondary roles. In assessing metabolic
status, it should be self-evident that
insulin is the primary molecule of concern,
not glucose. Then, why do doctors focus on
glucose, not insulin?

being a global strategy for reducing

THE GUT IS A MISUNDERSTOOD ORGAN
In drug medicine, when the symptoms are
directly related to the gut, the treatment
strategy consists of symptom suppression
with drugs. When the symptoms are not
directly related to the gut, any suggestion
of a possible role of a damaged bowel
ecosystem in the cause of symptoms is
unceremoniously dismissed. Read Battered Bowel

Nov 9, 2009 Liver Detoxification It is one of the profound ironies
of prevailing drug medicine that there is no
concept of liver detox among liver
specialists. Treatment of most liver
diseases in the hands of gastroenterologists
and hepatologists is confined to the use of
immune-suppressive therapies, such as
steroids, chemotherapy drugs, large doses of
agents such as interferon, or liver
transplants. Otherwise, medical texts
recommend "supportive treatment," which is a
euphemism for symptom suppression with
drugs. In most patients with nutritional,
ecologic, immune, and heavy metal toxicity
disorders, liver blood tests are often
considered "within normal limits," and no
attempt is made to prescribe nutritional,
herbal, and natural detox therapies.

OXYGEN AND ADRENAL DYSFUNCTION
The Cushinoid-Addisonian Epidemic
The core message of this brief essay on
adrenal health and adrenal deficit is: All
chronically dysoxic individuals suffer
clinically significant adrenal dysfunction.
Dysox is the state of disrupted oxygen
signaling and oxygen-driven cellular
energetics. This view of adrenal deficiency
is significantly different from the
prevailing thinking in endocrinology.
Endocrinologists, with rare exception,
continue to be preoccupied with named
adrenal syndrome-Cushing's syndrome,
Addison's disease, Conn's syndrome, and
Sheehan's syndrome-as well as pituitary
tumors and hypothalamic disorders. Such
lesions account for an exceedingly small
number of chronically ill individuals with
objectively and quantifiably detected
adrenal dysfunction. This, indeed, is one of
the core messages of this column. My
assertions in this column are based on
extended clinical work with over 7,500
patients with chronic illness and on close
analysis of over 900 profiles of the 24-hour
urinary excretion of steroid compounds. Read

it is also responsible for keeping them

causes more cysts and increases the risk of
breast cancer. So, its elimination or

experience, no single measure reduces
inflammation in the breast more often and
more effectively than topical castor oil
rubs on the breasts, underarm, and adjacent

For chronic pain syndromes, one can
have only one authentic primary
physician: one's own self. Just as
doctors seek advice from specialists
for specific reasons, one can call
in other specialists for relief of
acute pain due to specific causes.
For instance, glucose trigger point
injections (prolotherapy
adminidstered by a prolotherapist)
is effective for pain caused by
specific trigger points. However,
the results are better when the
physician in the sufferer—the
physician within—adds Limbic
Breathing, castor oil rubs, and
anti-inflammatory spices (turmeric
and others) to prolotherapy. The
same holds for the results of
epidural injections.

A
prism splits white light into a luminous
rainbow—then emboldens the colors. For me,
the “oxygen prism” splits the energetic
domains of the body—then sparkles them. This
is the core of oxygen thinking. It de-fogs
issues. Doctors look at uric acid as a
molecular villain. In this essay, I look at
it through the oxygen prism to seek clarity,
not only for understanding uric acid but
also for rational, safe, and effective
measures for the prevention and treatment of
gout. Recently, a colleague, Dr. Sabitha
Dasoju, M.B.,B.S, told me that her mother in
India saw an orthopedic surgeon for chronic
arthritis pain in her knees and hips. The
doctor noted an elevated blood uric acid
value and promptly prescribed five drugs,
including a high-dose steroid level. When my
colleague protested that her mother did not
have gout but osteoarthritis, the orthopod
shrugged her off by saying, “This is our
standard treatment for treating high uric
acid levels.”
moments? Why
did you breathe that way? To get more
oxygen, you say correctly. Did you ever
workout in a gym more than you should have
and then felt tired for a day? How did that
happen? Lactic acid buildup in muscles, you
say. Why did that happen? Because there was
not enough oxygen to burn those acids, you
reply. Basic exercise physiology stuff.
