Why do people get cancer?

Cancer cells have an altered metabolism. Otto Warburg identified the altered metabolism of cancer cells back in 1931 and received a Nobel Prize for his work. With this understanding we can improve the outcome in cancer patients even better and prevention is possible. Warburg pointed out that cancer cells can’t produce energy in the normal way and this results in having their cell membranes having low voltage. A healthy cell has a resting membrane voltage of about 70 millivolts. A cancer cell has a resting membrane potential of only around 30 millivolts. Because of the low voltage the cell can’t pull in potassium and push out sodium and this leads to an acid build up in cells. When this occurs, oxygen does not enter the cell in enough quantity and so the cell does not use oxygen to create energy.

When cancer cells lack oxygen they switch to fermentative metabolism. This means low energy (ATP) levels inside of cells…

When this occurs, the cell won’t self-destruct when it is sick. It stays alive and produces more of its kind of cell and spreads throughout the body. This is metastatic cancer.

PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD treatments can change this. This therapy recharges the cell membrane to normal, increases oxygen delivery to cells, increases potassium influx into cells and removal of cell toxins and improve cell alkalinity.

Using a test called the Cancer Metabolic Profile we can see how much anaerobic metabolism is occurring in the body. This metabolic change precedes actual cancer.

When we combine PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy) with IV Vitamin C, Ozone, Glutathione, diet and detoxification we can restore cell health before the big “C” takes hold.

Dr. Springer Discusses the Causes of Diabetes

This is the second in a new series of videos by LifeWorks’ practitioner, Dr. George Springer, in which he discusses the cause of Diabetes.


Major Autohemotherapy

Iv-blood-bag MAH is the most common, and in most cases the most effective way ozone is administered. The patient relaxes in a chair in the IV room and h

as 100-250ml of blood removed into a sterilized IV bag. Then ozone is injected into the bag, which is gently shaken, allowing the red and white blood cells to take up the ozone. The ozonated blood is then returned to the body via IV drip. The entire procedure takes about 30-60 minutes.

It is invaluable in the treatment of heart disease and circulatory disorders. Chronic infections such as hepatitis-C, herpes, Lyme, and AIDS respond very favorably to MAH. It is also very helpful in chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and autoimmune diseases.

Major Autohemotherapy Success Story 

“I am so glad I’ve had the Major Autohemotherapy. It really makes you feel better, gives you more energy and decreases anxiety. I wish I could have extra oxygen all the time!”* – Nicole O.

 

Ask about Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) on your next visit to the clinic, or call (727) 466-6789 for an appointment.

About Dr. David Minkoff, Medical Director

Dr. David Minkoff graduated from the University of Wisconsin Medical School in 1974 and was elected to the “Phi Beta Kappa” of medical schools, the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honors Medical Fraternity for very high academic achievement. He then completed both a Pediatric Residency and a Fellowship in Infectious Disease at the University of California at San Diego. He worked at the University of California and Children’s Hospitals in San Diego as an attending physician in infectious disease while conducting original research on Ribaviron, a broad spectrum anti-viral agent to fight disease. He also co-directed a neo-natal intensive care unit and worked in emergency medicine. In 1992, Dr. Minkoff’s wife Sue, a Registered Nurse, became interested in nutrition and health and began to go to lectures from some of the experts in the field. At the time, Dr. Minkoff was pretty fixed in his view of traditional medicine and it took a lot of convincing to get him to come to one of these lectures. After hearing Dr. Jeffrey Bland speak, Dr. Minkoff had a eureka moment and began pursuing the alternative field with a vengeance. Based on this new knowledge Dr. Minkoff and his wife set up a small clinic in 1997 to help some friends with their medical problems. What began as an experiment blossomed into Lifeworks Wellness Center, one of the most successful clinics for complementary medicine in the United States. In the process, he gained expertise in Biological medicine, integrative oncology, heavy metal detoxification, anti-aging medicine, hormone replacement therapy, functional medicine, energy medicine, neural and prolotherapy, homeopathy, and optimum nutrition. He studied under the masters in each of these disciplines until he became an expert in his own right. Dr. Minkoff is one of the most in-demand speakers in the field and wrote an Amazon best-selling book called The Search For The Perfect Protein. The demand for the products and protocols he discovered became a catalyst for founding BodyHealth.Com, a nutrition company that now manufactures and distributes cutting-edge nutritional solutions for the many health problems of today. Dr. Minkoff writes two free online newsletters, “The Optimum Health Report” and ”The BodyHealth Fitness Newsletter”, to help others learn about optimum health and fitness. Dr. Minkoff is an avid athlete himself and has completed 43 Ironman Triathlons. To keep his fitness maximal, he lives the lifestyle he teaches to others and tries to set an example for others, so they can enjoy a life free of pain and full of energy.
