Gout

By Dr. Gary Tran Quang Minh 

We get gout because we get old and our kidneys are weak and could not excrete uric acid effectively as when we are young. So, the first thing to do is to strengthen your kidneys and for that matter other ngu tang luc phu with the following substances: 

1. If you have been using noxious medicines on long term basis that adversely affects your liver and kidneys causing heavy toxic overload, detoxify with: Essiac Tonic in gelcap form by Herbals Etc... from Whole Foods. This is a formula perfected by President Kennedy's physician to help overcome the toxic effects of chemotherapy. 

2. Protandim (Super Herbal Anti-Oxidants):  a 5-herbal product can be used to rebuild the liver and kidneys. It strengthens also the brain and the heart. This is the formula formulated by Dr. McCord after 50 years of research on herbal anti-oxidants.p

3. The most valuable mushroom called Cordyceps sinensis (Đông Trùng Hạ Thảo) that in the old days only Emperors could take. Available at www.hostdefense.com.   Use its formula called  CORDYCHI (A combo of DTHT and Linh Chi or Reishi = Ganoderma lucidum). Reishi is another valuable mushroom to promote health.

Or use CORDASTRA, a formula that combines DTHT with Hoang Chi (Radix Astragali) available at Beachbody: http://www.beachbody.com/product/supplements/best_sellers/cordastra-wellness-nutrition.do?code=SEMB_MSN_SUP

4. 100-200 mg Ubiquinone (available at Costco) a day to support your kidneys and heart health. This molecule is the spark plug of your body energy production in the mitochondria powerhouse. You'll like this nutritional supplement because it increases your energy. 

Treat Gout Flare-Up:

1.  Allopurinol 2-300 mg a day in the morning with a lot of water or soymilk. This is a drug used to prevent the purines in food from being metabolized into uric acid. 

2.  A homeopathic substance called Gout Gone by Natives Remedies. This is the safest substance of all as all homeopathic remedies are. It relieves swelling, inflammation, and burning pain of joint. Use it at a different time from the essential oils because the strong vibration of the oils negates the vibration of the weak homeopathic remedies. 

3.  Switching to vegetarian diet a week or two during the crisis to reduce purines intake.

4.  Use 3 oil blends (One blend is for gout, one for swelling caused by intense inflammation induced by uric acid needles formed in the joints because the swelling makes the affected joints so excruciatingly and intolerably painful, and one for pain  called Aches and Pains formula by Wyndmere available at Whole Foods or on the Internet.) Ask Thay Minh for the formulas for the first 2 oil blends.

5.  Michelle's Miracle Cherry Concentrate, available at Whole Foods store. Mix 2 tablespoonfuls of that concentrate with 8 oz of Perrier soda water to drink. Add other juice to make it more pleasant if needed.

6. Drink a lot of water or juices (8 glasses of 8 oz a day) to wash uric acid out of your body. Drink it preventively on a long term basis. Don't drink beer to avoid recurrence.

7.  Do footbath with Epsom Salt (from the grocery store) with hot water that you can stand three times a day (for swelling and numbing the pain).

8.  A soothing gel called Arnica Ginger Gel by New Chapter to rub on your blisters or rashes to see if they heal or not and to see if it gets rid of the itching. Do this only if your messed up liver causes severe skin allergy as manifested by intense itching, red rashes, blistering, irresistible urge to scratch.

9.  An Anti-itching oil Blend that Thay Minh formulates which is stronger in case the gel does not work.

10. Essential oil anti-inflammatory formulas to replace NSAID. They are less harmful than drugs.

11. Marine D-3, a new product that combines the most powerful anti-oxidant extracted from sea weeds, squids oil, and Vitamin D-3 which is a good COX-2 inhibitor to replace the steroid.  This is the only formulation that as D-3 to repair damaged joint ruined by uric acid.

12. Green lipped mussel extract (from Max-a-Life in New Zealand):  Three 500-mg capsules/day for 1 month, then drop down to normal use of 1 capsule per day.  (Max-a-Life's 6-month unconditional guarantee of complete satisfaction: "If you don’t personally see and feel a difference in your overall joint mobility, let us know within 6 months. We’ll refund your order. No hassles. No quibbles. No delays."). This is another harmless but potent anti-inflammatory substance to replace side-effect-prone steroid.

Approach to Late Phase Colon Cancer Treatment

By Dr. Gary Trần Quang Minh

Do this right away:

1. Drink daily 8 large glasses of the following all through the day and don't drink any other water or sugary soft drink:

     -- 2 glasses of green tea (tra xanh)

     -- 2 glasses of nuoc la xa (lemon grass)

     -- 2 glasses of la du du (papaya) phoi kho nghien nho on empty stomach.

     -- 2 glasses of vegetable juice: rau ma, cai be xanh, broccoli, trai gat lam xoi dam cuoi, cauliflower, bap cai, carrot, ca to mat (tomato), cu nghe song (turmeric), cu gung song (ginger). Avoid white sugar. Use nuoc da tuoi if you want the juice sweetened.

2. An com gao luc (brown rice) or xoi nep do hay nep den.

3. If you can get Linh Chi (Reishi mushroom) and Dong Trung Ha Thao (Cordyceps mushroom): Take  them as capsules if they are available as such or as food steamed them with ga ac hay chim cut. [Phuoc, can you give him some. Since I sill have plenty from what you gave me, I'll share mine with him. He needs that more than I do to build his strength and immune system to fight his cancer. Save a soul is worth more than building 9 pagodas, HYQ said]

4. See a dong y si for some dong y treatment as tay y is not very good for cancer treatment in my experience because it kills your immune system, kills good cells also, and knocks out your strength. I have a few toa thuoc to deal with cancer, but I need your symptoms to advise you correctly. Also tell me what you are doing to treat this at home to avoid duplication.

5. Pray to Phat Ba Quan Am if you are Buddhist or Duc Me Maria if you are Catholic. You need divine help for this biggest fight of your life.

Long Term Treatment

1.     Get on Amazon to order the book ""How to Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine" by Dr. Michael Murray and his 4 world-famous colleagues of alternative medicine. The book helps you explain the rationale of the holistic therapeutic approach to colon cancer should you choose to continue to use chemotherapy or switch to natural therapy or the combination of the two modalities.  I have been using this modality for decades with better results than my previous conventional approach. In fact, I have an employee who had breast cancer like her mother who happens to be a nurse, but, unlike her mother, she saw the good results we got at the clinic compared to the awful side effects of chemo- and radiotherapy, so she chose just the natural approach to deal with her problem. It was 6 years ago and all yearly testings have been negative. She continues on to work right after surgery unchanged whereas her mom is half dead.

2.     If you chooses the combo therapy, Cancer Treatment Centers of America would be a better place to accomplish this. Conventional oncologists do not understand nor do they condone natural medicine.

3.     I would recommend the following products for colon cancer:

    a Systemic Proteolytic Enzymes. (SPE): Wobenzyme or Zymactive (Natural Factors) or Heal-n- Soothe (Living Well). Wobenzyme is the best and most expensive German-made SPE. Both of them are recommended by Dr. Murray. By the way, the reason papaya leaf tea works in cancer because mũ đu đủ has a lot of proteolytic enzymes in it. It does not hurt to do that. A lot of people do this, but the pills are much more potent. Make sure you take this product on empty stomach or the enzymes digest the foods instead of getting absorbed in the blood to fight the cancer. You don't need papaya leaf tea if you take these pills as that tea is quite bitter. The author recommends you take both the animal and the plant-based products to be complete as they did in clinical trials.

    b. Curcumin: An active extract of turmeric (nghệ). If you live in an area where raw fresh turmeric is available, have a blend raw turmeric and raw ginger with honey to make a drink in addition to the pill. My aunt had melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma.  She cured her problem with just drinking these 2 roots and drink green tea several times a day for years. Curcumin is available at Whole Foods. Follow the book recommendation.

    c. CoQ10. Get Ubiquinone and take 400 mg a day. Get this at Costco.

    d. Maitake MD Fraction. Not the regular maitake. This is a very potent mushroom extract to fight cancer. If you add Reishi (Nam Linh Chi) to this, it' ll be even better. Enzymatic Therapy makes good mushroom products. Make sure to get the MD Fraction extract not just D or plain old complete extract.

    e. Detox. This is the new formula of the famous cancer fighting Essiac Tea as refined by the personal physician of President Kennedy. It's available at Whole Foods. Take 1 capsule 2-3 times a day.

    f. Anti-Cancer Oil Blend. I will make and send you this potent blend of the dozen cancer fighting essential oils.  It's very good for carcinoma like colon cancer. I usually knock out squamous cell carcinoma of the gum of dog or cat in a couple of months with no recurrence and no metastasis. Apply 5 drops on each sole 3 times a day.

    g. Protandim. This is the superantioxidant made up of green tea, milk thistle, bacopa, ashwaghanda, turmeric extracts in 1 tablet that protects the heart, the liver, the brain, endocrine organs and the other tissues of the body to help you stay strong to fight the cancer. If your cancer is due to a genetic origin, this product will shut up the expression of this gene. You can order this on line. Take 1 or 2 tablet(s) a day.

    h. Calamarine D-3 (Marine-D3). This is a new product that is very good and potent with 60 research papers written on these ingredients. Take 2 gel caps a day. This is the best source of EPA and DHA.

    i. IP-6 with Inositol. Buy Max-3, the best combo for this product. It's available at Whole Foods.

Shop around for best price. Price at Whole Foods is always quite high. Buy from manufacturers is preferable to assure products quality.

Treatment of Diabetes Type 2

By Dr. Gary Tran Quang Minh

This is the program I have been following for the past 40 years for my diabetes II that has helped me stay in better shape than all my brothers who have had the same genetic disease that all males of my generation inherited from my Do ancestor. I am the only one who has not yet resorted to hypoglycemic or insulin conventional therapeutics.

The reason one develop late-stage diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy is that they does not do the complementary medicine necessary to protect sugar glycation of the eyes and the nerves.

Conventional medicine addresses only insulin sensitivity and the like. No organ or tissue protection was addressed.

So, we need to take the following:

a. Alpha Lipoic Acid: Use the German recommendation of high dose of this most important of all substances to treat diabetes: 300 mg to 500 mg tid po (3 times a day by mouth). People who don't use this  universal antioxidant always develop neuropathy, retinopathy, kidney and heart failure. Vitamin World has this product at decent price and good quality.

b. Ultimate Eye Support by Andrew Lessman: This is the most potent and best formulation for eye support. Call 800-944-9999.

c. L-Carnitine: 500-1,000 mg bid (2 times a day). This product helps prevent neuropathy because deficiency of this product causes neuropathy. It sensitizes tissues to insulin and plays a major role in sugar metabolism. Vitamin World is a good affordable source.

d. Carnosine: 1,000 mg a day. It is available from Life Extension website. This product stops the glycation of sugar on tissues.

e. Strong Diabetic Formula: This is a product by Vitamin World. Other companies do make similar product.

f. Super Antigerm: Use 5 drops each on the sole of the feet to prevent feet infection that won't heal and will lead to foot amputation.

g. CoQ10: It will enhance beta cells in the pancreas in producing insulin, protect the heart, improve glycemic control.

h. Silymarin or Silibinin, Milk Thistle extracts, that helps the liver metabolize sugar.  Protandim will cover this. Otherwise you need 60 mg silibinin and 200 mg silymarin tid.

i. A good mineral and vitamin mix like Life Extension Mix or Life Extension Super Booster. Magnesium is vital for diabetes treatment since it lowers blood sugar level and increases insulin sensitivity. Take at least 400 mg daily.

How did I get into holistic medicine

By Dr. Gary Tran Quang Minh

In 1987 a cardiologist prescribed my dad Inderal for his heart, but did not tell us about the side effect of this potent drug. My dad who had been pretty normal when he came to visit us from Canada had a bad side effect from that nasty drug and died a few days later within a few hours of a severe reaction. I blamed myself ever since because I took him there to prevent him from having a weakening heart to begin with. I read the PDR and found exactly the warning. But that goddamn doctor did not mention that to us. I wanted to sue that doctor, but my mom told me that my costly action won't bring my dad back and cause karma for me.

Since then I search for alternatives and found that there a lot of effective and safe replacement for every drug. I practice holistic veterinary medicine for the past 3 decades and had better results than conventional medicine I used for the first 20 years. I treated myself and my family and most of my relatives likewise and nobody has had any adverse side effect. Try it to be convinced. 

There are safer remedies you can try before you need the big gun especially for chronic conditions that require long-term therapy.
