or sharply reduces the fatigue after 4 to 6-weeks.

      4.5 to 10% of patients have chronic – and often unnoticed – infections, such as sinusitis or mandibular osteitis following radiectomy. With the right remedies and, where appropriate, specialist or dental adjuvant therapy, such infections can often be cured.

      Special Problem Areas

      Diagnosis and therapy of chronic pain patients turns out to be particularly difficult; they often report chronic fatigue and, generally, depression as well. Chronically fatigued patients with a weak immune system who have Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr, cytomegalovirus, or a heavy-metal burden in their patient history exhibit – as do pain patients – the same stresses in energy testing outlined previously. The empirical prerequisite for success is for the patient to be open-minded about possible other causes and not to persist in iatrogenic thinking. Even these problem patients usually benefit from the approach outlined previously. For example, in a clinical study with more than 300 patients, with those in the pain group (n = 39) we were able, after 8 to 10 months of naturopathic therapy (as described previously), to attain a success rate of 74.4% of cases – and I should point out that a majority of these problem patients would be classified as hopeless chronic cases.

      CONCLUDING REMARKS

      For the therapist, chronic fatigue often poses a big diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, particularly in the case of conventionally diagnosed patients that orthodox medicine has given up on. The procedural approach outlined here has proven causal and effective in many complementary-medicine practices.

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      Reimar Banis, MD, ND, is a medical doctor, researcher, and author. Dr. Banis has been a naturopath since 1975 and an MD since 1985 (US MD certification through ECFMG, 1984). He has conducted research with many experts, including Professor H. Heim (thermoregulation) and Dr. Schimmel (developer of VEGAtest), and co-developed “segmentelectrography” and “thermoregulation”. This knowledge combined with extensive research on energy medicine and energy psychology led him to create Psychosomatic Energetics (PSE). He first introduced Psychosomatic Energetics for peer review in 1997, at a presentation at the renowned Baden-Baden Medical Week convention in, where he is now an annual presenter. In 1998, he developed the REBA test device with biophysicist Dieter Jossner. He has lectured extensively on PSE worldwide and has developed a comprehensive PSE seminar series, which leads to designation as a “Certified Energy Tester.” Dr. Banis has practiced as a general practitioner since 1985 at his clinic in Saarland, Germany. Dr. Banis has authored over 200 articles on various topics, including: adrenal fatigue, fibromyalgia, and the emotional components associated with cancer. He is also the author of 7 books including: Psychosomatic Energetics, A Handbook for Therapists and New Life Through Energy Healing. As he is trained as a medical doctor, Dr. Banis has the unique ability to bridge the gap between conventional and naturopathic healing methods. He is regarded as one of the most advanced and well-known experts in energy medicine in the world.

      Advances in Cancer Imaging: Diagnosing, Treating and Reversing Prostate and Other Cancers with Non-Invasive Monitoring and Nutritional Intervention

      ABSTRACT

      A primary goal in prostate and other cancers is to identify aggressive cancers that can kill, as opposed to cancers that do not threaten life, and may not even show any symptoms. The current, widely-used diagnostic techniques make this identification extremely elusive. The technology to achieve this diagnostic distinction should be noninvasive, and provide measures that can be easily and accurately compared to previous exams, making it easy to track changes. At the same time, it should provide a systematic approach to monitoring the patient’s response to therapeutic intervention. In this way the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment can be tailored to each individual’s circumstances and responsiveness. With recent advances in the technology of Doppler ultrasound and MRI, these goals can and are being achieved. Now, advances in the computerization of the imaging, blood flow, and tumor measures of exact size and density, provide for an accurate and repeatable diagnosis, and a means to follow the individual’s unique pattern of cancer development, progress, and response to treatment. In this paper, the noninvasive diagnostic tracking of a patient’s progress is presented, along with a naturopathic nutritional approach, the Beta-Sitosterol/Antioxidant Matrix (B-Sit/AOX), which provides vital support for cell function and membrane integrity.

      INTRODUCTION

      A primary goal in prostate and other cancers is to identify aggressive cancers that can kill, as opposed to cancers that do not threaten life, and may not even show any symptoms. The current, widely-used diagnostic techniques make this identification extremely elusive. The technology to achieve this diagnostic distinction should be noninvasive, and provide measures that can be easily and accurately compared to previous exams, making it easy to track changes. At the same time, it should provide a systematic approach to monitoring the patient’s response to therapeutic intervention. In this way the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment can be tailored to each individual’s circumstances and responsiveness.

      With recent advances in the technology of Doppler ultrasound and MRI, these goals can and are being achieved. Until recently this diagnostic technology has required extensive experience and training in interpreting the images. Now, advances in the computerization of the imaging, blood flow, and tumor measures of exact size and density, provide for an accurate and repeatable diagnosis, and a means to follow the individual’s unique pattern of cancer development, progress, and response to treatment. Recent technological advances also make these procedures available to much broader clinical application, without requiring years of very unique training and experience, and these advances are applicable beyond prostate cancer (PCa), the example used here.

      In this paper, the noninvasive diagnostic tracking of a patient’s progress is presented, along with a naturopathic nutritional approach, the Beta-Sitosterol/Antioxidant Matrix (B-Sit/AOX), which provides vital support for cell function and membrane integrity. The B-Sit/AOX Matrix properly restores essential nutrition that has been systematically removed from our food supply. It systemically supports the body, and is especially targeted to naturally restore cell membrane elasticity and permeability, apoptosis, reduce cell proliferation, and reestablish a healthy intracellular environment that naturally protects against metastases. This directly nourishes the body’s natural cancer prevention mechanisms, and is appropriate for healthy individuals, for individuals during cancer episodes, and for post-episode
