CONDITIONS THAT RESPOND
THE BEST AND CAUTIONS WITH NUTRITIONAL BALANCING
by Lawrence Wilson, MD

Revised, July 2008, The Center For Development
I
am often asked by doctors and patients if nutritional balancing is for
everyone. They ask if there
conditions for which this program is not appropriate, or if special
modifications are required.
CHILDRENÕS
CONDITIONS
Let
us begin with childrenÕs physical health conditions. We enjoy working with children because they have more vital
force or energy in their small bodies than most adults. As a result, they respond much faster
in many cases than adults.
Children
also require many fewer tablets as well.
I usually recommend adult products in small doses. If a child has trouble swallowing
pills, one may crush, grind up or mix the products with food the child
enjoys. This is usually not difficult.
I
do very well with conditions such as chronic or acute infections, even recurrent
infections for several years running.
We do well with ear infections, for example, and throat infections. We can usually handle even chronic
ailments such as asthma, allergies, wounds the wonÕt heal, runny noses and so
forth.
ChildrenÕs mental and emotional
conditions also respond excellent in most instances. These include, but are not limited to ADHD, anxiety and
depression, many learning problems and even autism, although that will take
longer in some cases. Food
intolerances and gut problems must be handled first in some of these
children. Then the toxic metals
and toxic chemicals and vaccine residues can be removed.
Delayed Development. We also help many children with genetic
problems or birth defects, some quite severe. Often nutritional imbalances are involved here as causes and
contributors to these childrenÕs many symptoms and delayed development.
The near infrared sauna or a single reddish
heat lamp shined on the abdomen.
This can help with difficult childrenÕs conditions, just as it helps
most adults. Babies, for example,
generally love having a reddish heat lamp shined on the abdomen for 10-15
minutes once or twice daily.
ADULTÕS
CONDITIONS
Most
adult conditions also respond excellently if one is willing to do all or even
most of the program. This means
following a healthful diet with a lot of cooked vegetables, the hardest part
for many people. It also means
drinking only distilled or spring water, lots of rest and sleep and a healthful
lifestyle.
For
fastest results, and sometimes it is the only way to obtain good results, one
must add the detoxification procedures.
These are daily use of a near or far infrared sauna, although the near
infrared type has many advantages.
I encourage those who own a far infrared type to convert it by adding
the lamps to it. This is explained
in a separate article on this website, Sauna Conversion.
The
other procedure that is extremely helpful for adults, in particular, though it
could be used with children with more difficulty, is the daily coffee
enema. I cannot overemphasize how
helpful this is, based on client reports to us. It takes some getting used to, and is difficult for those
with hemorrhoids. Otherwise, it is
amazingly helpful for many conditions as it slowly cleans out the liver, and
helps to restore the colon as well.
Adults,
in particular, who will not do these procedures will make slower progress, as a
rule. Those who do the entire
program do extremely well in many instances with many types of health
conditions.
Physical Health Conditions. Conditions that respond very well are
many cases of chronic fatigue, arthritis and other joint problems, digestive
disturbances and insomnia, to name just a few. Menstrual difficulties, skin diseases, impotence and others
often respond well.
Cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal and other systemic diseases can do very
well. Diabetes can respond very
quickly, but the person must change the diet, sometimes drastically, and must
eliminate coffee, for example, if one has the coffee habit.
Some
more unusual cases that do very well include ParkinsonÕs disease if caught
early, MS if caught early, and many cases of epilepsy and seizure disorders.
Inability
to heal wounds or post-surgical problems also respond excellently in almost all
cases.
I
do not suggest nutritional balancing for active cancer. This is important. However, I will place a person on a
nutritional balancing program provided the person is doing a conventional
cancer treatment method and is not interested in alternative or natural cancer
therapy. In this case, the nutritional balancing program is simply done for
nutritional support, and not for cancer.
I
will always suggest that one consider other natural therapies for cancer, such
as the Kelley metabolic cancer therapy or perhaps Protocel,
a stand-alone remedy that is not quite as good as the Kelley program, but is
very inexpensive and helps some people. Cancer is discussed below in more
detail.
Mental And Emotional Health Conditions in
Adults. These also respond
excellently in most situations.
The reason is that in most cases, nutritional and other biochemical
imbalances play such large roles in some or even all of these conditions, that
correcting the body chemistry goes a long way toward restoring oneÕs joy and
even disposition. I wish this were
more recognized among the medical and psychological professions.
Conditions
that respond well include many cases of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder,
mood swings, nervous irritability, brain fog, burnout, and even some types of
schizophrenia.
ADVANCED
AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS (LOU GERHIGÕS DISEASE
AND MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
The
nutritional balancing program is not designed especially for advanced cases of
ALS and MS. Early cases of MS have
responded perfectly. Later stage
cases of MS, however, are more problematic. I have not worked with many of these cases, so more research
may be helpful. Problems that one
encounters with the more advanced cases may include:
The
person may not be able to use the sauna and may have trouble doing coffee
enemas without an attendant. These
are among the very instances when I might suggest trying intravenous chelation of mercury with agents such as DMPS or DMSA, as mercury is often
involved in cases of MS and possibly ALS as well.
ACTIVE
CANCER
If
one has active cancer or any kind or stage, we do not recommend the nutritional
balancing system until the cancer is in remission. This is because cancer has a timeline and there are faster
methods to bring it under control or even get rid of it entirely. Once this occurs, nutritional balancing
is superb for continuing the healing process.
When
someone is diagnosed with cancer and asks my opinion about treatments, I
attempt to present all the options that I am aware of. These fall into two broad categories.
Conventional Therapy. One can do conventional surgery,
radiation or chemotherapy.
However, it is often barbaric, extremely costly and very toxic as
well. Often, the patient is not
told the entire truth about possible bad outcomes and side effects. For example, most people do
not realize that studies done on animals with chemotherapy agents usually only
last 90 days. If the rats die
early, the dead animals are not counted as failures because they did not finish
the study.
Also,
when a doctor tells you the Òcure rateÓ for their therapy, it is only a five-year survival rate. If you were to die one day after five years of treatment,
they would count you as ÒcuredÓ for their statistical assessment. This is a horrible deception on the
medical professionÕs part that misleads patients into going through
chemotherapy, or the worst treatment, radiation. I hope this will be corrected some day, but there is not
evidence it will change soon.
In
other cases, including one in my own family, doctors donÕt want you to know the
horrible truth about their conventional therapies because they figure there are
no other options. However, there
are some excellent alternatives in many cases.
Alternative Therapies. I currently recommend two alternative
therapies. There are many others,
but I have the most experience with these and I know the people and the subject
fairly well. Cancer is not
something to Òfool around withÓ and one wants the best and only the best.
The
best program out there in many ways is the Kelley metabolic cancer
therapy. At the end of this
article is a link to read more about this excellent method.
The
Kelley program, as it is called, uses a near infrared sauna, along with coffee
enemas, an excellent diet, lots of rest and sleep and a natural chemotherapy
agent, pancreatic enzymes. The
only drawback of this program is its cost. The cost is about $800-1200 per month for a year or more.
The
contact we are using for this program is Mrs. Pamela McDougle,
who is the person who trains many of the doctors who offer this throughout the
nation and the world. Her phone
number is (208) 424-7600.
NOTE:
Be sure any cancer practitioner includes the sauna therapy with the program, as
some omit this critical and very beneficial method.
Protocel.
If the Kelley program is too expensive, we are investigating a natural
remedy called Protocel. It is much cheaper at about $75.00 per month and quite non-toxic
in our experience. However, beware
that it is only a remedy and should be combined with the sauna, coffee enemas
and other healing procedures such as diet and rest for the best results. Protocel is available by mail and is easy to find on the
internet.
Patients Who Choose Conventional Cancer
Therapy. If a client is
undergoing conventional cancer therapy, then you may use the nutritional
balancing program to provide excellent nutritional support for the person. I strongly recommend including the near
infrared sauna therapy and coffee enemas would be excellent as well.
If One Has Had Cancer. If a person who wishes to be on a
nutritional balancing program has had cancer in the past, the same suggestions
occur as with those in the section above.
The reason is there could still be some hidden cancer cells present.
Therefore,
I strongly recommend insisting one add the coffee enemas, infrared sauna
therapy and perhaps ven some pancreatic enzymes in
larger amounts for a while. Other
important supplements are vitamin D, selenium and iodine, as these are often
deficient and help many people.
Anyone who has or has had cancer often needs lots of rest.

this website.
DIABETES
Diabetes
is also a chronic illness that usually takes years to develop. Just lowering the blood sugar does not
cure the entire problem. However,
it is an excellent start to prevent the terrible damage that excessive sugar in
the blood can cause.
Clients
with this problem may have difficulty eliminating sweets from the diet. This is a personality trait of many
diabetics, who are used to eating sweets or other stimulants to get an energy
boost. Nutritional balancing
requires plenty of discipline, which many of them do not want to learn.
If
they want to go on a program with you, they need extra zinc or Endo-pan, about
88 mg of zinc daily. Also needed
is about 500-1000 mcg of extra chromium daily as well. These elements are critical for
pancreatic function and blood sugar regulation.
They
also will fare best on a stricter diet with even fewer sugars and no refined
starches at all to obtain the best results. They are often told that they may have some fruit juice and
even sweets, if it is not too much.
This is not helpful in the least.
Strict avoidance of simple carbohydrates is best in the long run.
They
also need much more rest and sleep, more than others. This is, in fact, true of all chronic diseases.
With
diabetes and other chronic illnesses, other programs such as raw food and
perhaps vegetarian diets can get faster results in many cases. However, the clients may subtlely become extremely deficient in some nutrients such
as zinc on these regimens. Zinc is
found primarily in meats. Their
bodies also become extremely expanded or yin in Chinese terminology, as
well. This is why we donÕt
recommend vegetarian or raw food diets.
GRAVESÕS
DISEASE
This condition can respond
extremely well in all cases, in our experience. Surgery or radioactive iodine treatment should never be
needed. Anti-thyroid drugs may be
needed in severe cases for a few months or even longer in a few cases, until
the deeper causes, such as stress and toxic metal poisoning, can be eliminated.
One
must not take any stimulating supplements for this condition. This includes Megapan,
Endo-dren, Thyro-complex and perhaps kelp, though not
always. Sauna therapy is fabulous
for this condition, as it is relaxing and healing.
OLD AGE
AND EXTREME INFIRMITY
Older
and very debilitated individuals need extra GB-3 or other digestive aids, much
more than younger, hardier people.
The old or infirm often have seriously impaired enzyme production and
cannot absorb nutrients well without a lot of help from digestive aids.
GB-3,
our favorite digestive aid for most people, combines a liver detoxifier, a
fat-soluble vitamin absorber, an intestinal infection killer, a cancer
preventive and more into one digestive aid. The client does not have to take all these separately to
receive many benefits.
The
main problem that GB-3 can cause in a few people is diarrhea if one starts out
with too much. Over a period of
months, most people can increase slowly to three per meal. This is ideal for most older people.
Older
people can do very well on the program.
Their vitality level varies greatly, as may their ability to follow the
diet and take the supplements regularly.
They can do well with sauna therapy and coffee enemas as well. those that are very debilitated may do
better on fewer supplements, at least initially, because too many may confuse
the body in some way. Remember
that
cooked food is much easier to digest. Also, they need a nap every day and
plenty of rest at night.
ACUTE
OR SEVERE INFECTIONS
Nutritional
balancing science is superb for enhancing the immune system. However, an acute infection, especially
if life-threatening, may need specific therapy for the infecting germs or
parasites.
In
cases of very serious acute infections, we like to target the infection only
until it is under good control.
This is a rare situation, however.
For example, if the infections if a chronic type like Lyme disease or
intestinal candida, or Epstein-Barr virus or
cytomegalovirus or herpes, then the nutritional balancing program may be
started at once.
The
only exception is if the infection is overwhelming the person and this is quite
rare. Only in these cases would
one want to begin with just a targeted therapy such as colloidal silver and
vitamins A and C for bacterial and viral infections and perhaps a therapy such
as caprylic acid or acidophilus for a severe candida infection.
Coffee enemas are excellent for all acute fevers and can help lower
fever.
Prescription
medication should never be used first in our experience. However, as a last resort it can be
lifesaving. For more on acute
infections, read Boosting Your Immune Response on
this website.
Once
a fulminating or extreme infection is at least under control, then a
nutritional balancing program can help assure that infection does not recur and
that the body becomes stronger and more balanced in general.
ADDICTIONS
Most
addictions greatly deplete nutrients or affect the diet and body chemistry
quite adversely. In these
instances, a nutritional balancing program can often help reduce cravings,
improve mental and physical functioning, and often help prevent relapses.
For
the best results, however, I prefer that addiction clients follow a complete
care program. This would include
not only nutritional balancing, but also counseling, biofeedback, meditation or
other modalities to help overcome a difficult situation.
Often,
a complete change of life is best for those with serious addictions. This is most helpful so the person can
focus better and really dedicate oneself to removing all toxic substances from
the body and making a new start in life, no matter oneÕs age or situation.
