Dr. Bob was a M.D. internal medicine, orthomolecular doctor, M.D. psychiatrist, chiropractor, and healer 65 years. He was a diabetic who lived to 108 years with only 1 side effect 2 years before he passed away. He was known for many things, a writer, lecturer, healer, and many more things. He met and helped thousands of people in his lifetime. Eventually everyone he met soon learned his greatest talent; he was the incurable cure doctor.

Dr. Bob explained the problems involved in some autoimmune diseases. He stated that knowing the problem aided in creating a solution. Therefore this article will first describe the problems of the autoimmune diseases lupus, cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, osteo arthritis, tissue injuries to ligaments and tendons that do not heal, bursitis, ulcers, and leukemia, fibromyalgia, and CFS.

Initially there is a problem that results in inflammation. For example, in arthritis there is some insult to the body leading to inflammation. This inflammation leads to less blood getting to the area that is injured. This results in less repair ability by the injured cells. Eventually some cells receive amounts of blood to low to continue functioning. The main reason for this is oxygen is carried by blood and the cells are not getting enough oxygen to function due to decreased blood supply. The cells are still getting a little blood so they survive, but they are getting insufficient blood to continue functioning. The cells that are not functioning are in effect dead tissue although not actually dead, still surviving with the small blood supply still available. The cells change form when they stop functioning. The body perceives these cells as a threat and interference to normal function and attacks them. This immune system attack on these almost dead cells leads to more and more damage. The immune system attack is pro-inflammatory adding to the damage occurring. An additional problem is the barely functioning cells and the immune system attacks are creating a cascade of free radicals. Thus, more and more damage is occurring from the initial problem of neutralizing the "almost dead cells."

Free radicals, due to the preponderance of evidence, are believed by science to be responsible for most of the damage to the body as we age and degenerate. Free radicals are unstable molecules in the body that react with other molecules that are stable. This results in stable molecules becoming unstable as well. This can lead to a chain reaction of events that result in damage to the structures of the body. To learn more about free radicals go to the article, "The Free Radical Cascade." The point is things started out with a problem such as an injury with inflammation in our arthritis example. This resulted in the immune system attacking the body's own cells that had altered in form due to lack of blood supply. This immune system attack creates more inflammation and the additional problem of creating free radicals. Free radicals are usually neutralized in the body by substances called antioxidants. However, in an inflamed condition with poor blood supply, antioxidants cannot get to the free radicals. This leads to one of the most dangerous conditions to health called the free radical cascade. The free radical cascade is free radicals out of control causing damage and this is one reason autoimmune diseases are so deadly, the free radical cascade.

So far we have noted two major problems at the beginning of many autoimmune diseases, the immune system's attack leading to pro-inflammatory conditions and the free radical cascade. This is creating stress in the body and the body sends in cortisol to control stress and inflammation. Cortisol is the body's stress hormone. Cortisol comes in and shrinks swelling, temporarily aiding in the fight that is going on. However, cortisol is not meant long term, but the immune system's ongoing attacks and the free radical cascade result in constant stress to the body. This leads to cortisol constantly being pumped into the bloodstream to handle the stress. However, cortisol suppresses the immune system and leads to many other detrimental conditions when it is long term and chronic in a person. Thus another major problem has developed in Dr. Bob's description of the autoimmune diseases mentioned. This problem is chronic cortisol leading to many new degenerative conditions.

Thus Dr. Bob saw four problems that needed solutions for many autoimmune conditions. One is to reduce free radicals. A second is to stop inflammation. A third is to improve blood supply and unclog arteries (to aid circulation). The fourth problem is to stop cortisol. All of these problems Dr. Bob felt were involved in the autoimmune diseases we mentioned earlier. The following are the nutritional ideas he used to help these problems, which then would lead to increased wellness and in some cases remission.

Dr. Bob's nutritional ideas for autoimmune conditions:

1. Use a multivitamin and mineral – Any nutritional protocol needs co-factors, which a multi can supply. Dr. Bob advised the brand called Maxilife, because he said it often had appropriate doses for stressful conditions, such as autoimmune diseases.
   
2. Udo's oil - Udo's oil is found in health food stores and is a blend of omega 3 and omega 6 oils with the necessary co-factors. Omega 3 and omega 6 oils improve cell membranes and reduce inflammation. Dr. Bob preferred Udo’s oil to many other fine products because he said the balance of omega 3 to omega 6 oils and the methods used to produce Udo’s oil were proper.
   
3. 2-3 grams of vitamin C, 3 times a day - This aids against the free radical cascade. See the article on the web site called "Overlooked Cure for Terminal Illness." Vitamin C plays a large role in the immune system and detox system, both vital in fighting disease.
   
4. The herb cat's claw can reduce cortisol and boosts immunity. Dr. Bob said cat's claw could often save anyone with any disease. He read a great deal about herbs and medicines from South America and read countless stories of incredible recoveries using cat's claw. Dr. Bob believed in cat's claw's miraculous ability to aid many impossible cases. It is advised to purchase cat's claw from herb stores, many forms of cat’s claw are not effective.
   
5. Green Tea – Dr. Bob advised 1 capsule a day. He stated green tea complimented cat’s claw.
   
6. Adaptogen - This is a Chinese herbal formula in use for thousands of years that strengthens the systems in the body. Dr. Bob said adaptogen made cat's claw work more effectively. The dose he advised was four capsules on an empty stomach in the mornings.
   
7. DHEA - 5-25 mg for women over the age of 35 years, and 25-100 mg for men over the age of 35 years. Cycle it 5 days on it and 2 days off it. Use it 6 weeks on it and stop it every seventh week. DHEA is a hormone supplement and a hormonal specialist should be consulted. We recommend the doctors from the American Academy of Anti-aging Medicine who are cutting edge and knowledgeable about hormones. The national number is 773-528-4333.
   
8. Melatonin - 1-3 mg at bedtime for men and women over the age of 35 years. Use it 6 days on it and 1 day off it. Use it 6 weeks and then off 1 week. This is a vital hormone in the body that can neutralize free radicals and has many other beneficial effects. This is a hormonal supplement and we recommend the anti-aging doctors for hormonal supplements. Dr. Bob said if you are having sleep problems increase melatonin 1 mg a week. Continue the dose that eventually leads to good sleep. Consult a hormone specialist if 9 mg of melatonin per night fails to produce good sleep. Stop at 9-mg dose and seek a doctor’s advice.
   
9. Formula to block cortisol - vitamin C, 2-3 grams, 1/2 aspirin every other day, and DHEA dose mentioned above.

Attention – If symptoms are not decreasing after 12 days, then double the dose of Udo’s oil, vitamin C, cat’s claw, adaptogen and green tea.

Check out the web site for individual orthomolecular protocols for specific conditions such as the section on cancer and diabetes. Once inflammation, free radicals, and chronic cortisol are reduced or eliminated and circulation is improved, the conditions for healing exist according to Dr. Bob. He stated that the negative conditions of autoimmune disease made healing difficult. The first place to begin to help is to reduce the negative conditions. In all of the autoimmune diseases mentioned, Dr. Bob found the conditions of inflammation, free radical cascade, chronic cortisol, and reduced blood supply to the damaged tissues present. This is why all of the mentioned autoimmune conditions are grouped together. Dr. Bob advised to stop the damaging conditions, as well as working on the healing aspects. His vast knowledge of herbs, Chinese medicine, orthomolecular medicine, and modern medicine gave him the ability to find ways to aid pathologies that are considered incurable by modern medicine.

Note – In order for these anti-aging ideas to be successful, you must use supplements of the highest quality. Dr. Bob often said, "almost all supplement companies produce poor quality." You can consider the product page of this web site. Almost all the products met Dr. Bob’s approval. Since he passed away we have attempted to keep the same high standards.

WARNING:  DO NOT STOP ANY TREATMENT OR MEDICATION YOU CURRENTLY USE.  CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING THE USE OF SUPPLEMENTS.
