Meeting Jan Beute: Hydrogen, Auto-Haemotherapy and PEMF - Philip Booth

This week Philip Booth of My Unexpected Guide; learning from cancer talks about treatments used to support immune systems…

Well I had a fascinating hour in Bristol with Jan Beute; you can catch my 3 minute interview below. Among the treatments he uses to support immune systems are Hydrogen and Auto-Haemotherapy (which he mentions in the film) plus Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF). All of these I had read about but not experienced. Jan recommends these treatments every week so I now need to consider if this is a route I want to explore further.


I found Jan to be a man passionate about healing and finding ways to support people with chronic illnesses. I like how he is trying to find cheaper ways to enable the treatments he uses to be more readily available to people. Apparently he ran a workshop last summer for Back2Health at Penny Brohn where he demonstrated how to make inexpensive molecular hydrogen 'shots'. Jan also has had a controversial history of challenging the medical establishment over the best ways to treat patients; in particular his use of DMSO in the past. The medical establishment say there is little or no benefit using this drug while others have seen benefits when used, for example, with chemotherapy drugs (i).

Hydrogen is the mainstay of Jan’s treatments. Molecular hydrogen which has the ability to repair the mitochondria also provides impressive anti-oxidant potential to the body, massively reduces inflammation and allows cellular repair. Jan sees ’the struggle for life is to saturate our bodies with hydrogen’ and that this will then tackle any disease ‘ravaging up to 90% of all your free radicals.’ And there are indeed quite a number of papers indicating hydrogen’s promising impact on cancer (ii); suppressing cancer cell growth, inducing cancer cell apoptosis (but not normal cell apoptosis), preventing genetic mutations and protecting healthy cells from anticancer drugs.

The second treatment was Auto-Haemotherapy (stem cells), used since 1912, which involves taking about 20cl of blood and then injecting it back into the patient’s muscle tissue a short time after. The muscle could be buttocks or even facial muscles. I understand that the body sees the incoming blood as a substance that needs to be got rid of and tells the bone marrow to increase its production of macrophages. These macrophages are a type of white blood cells that are every day responsible for destroying bacteria, viruses and even cancer cells. The blood usually contains 5% macrophages, but after a treatment, this quadruples to 22% and remains at that level for the next few days. This significant immune boost attacks most foreign bodies in the blood and can be powerful intervention to tackle an illness. 

The third treatment I tried, at the same time as the others, was PEMF; this is non-invasive, safe and can be used with other treatments with no risk of toxicity. There are quite a number of animal studies and some studies with people but more work is needed (iii). PEMF uses pulsed electromagnetic fields which are delivered to the body with the aim to increase energy in the cells (iv). I sat on a plastic circular cable that gave out pulsed, almost mini-electric shocks, that were not uncomfortable - but not pleasurable! 

I will no doubt return to some of these treatments in this blog if I pursue them. One Wigwam colleague is already a regular user and her initial experience has been very positive, but as we’ve said before one persons’ experience should not be what we base our choices on!

Biobran MGN-3 for immune support and cancer - Sara Davenport


This week Sara Davenport of Reboot Health talks about Biobran and the amazing difference it makes to chemo and radiotherapy side effects…
HOW HEALTHY IS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM?
Have you ever stopped to consider this, even for a moment or two? Statistics show that from the age of 40 our natural immunity begins to weaken, at a rate of around 4% a year. And that figure increases to an 8% decline once you reach 65 and onwards. Pay attention and think about fixing it because, simply put, whether you are sick or healthy depends to a large extent on the strength of your immunity.

Many of us talk knowledgeably about immunity. We know that if we go down with a heavy cold or flu our immune system must have collapsed. It’s let us down, for whatever reason. You may pay passing attention to the fact but do you think any more deeply about the issue? You probably put it down to stress - long hours at work; an argument with a relative; financial difficulties - the list of everyday traumas is endless. We are all repeatedly informed that stress attacks and weakens your immune system, and that you can boost it back up with vitamins and minerals, quantities of rest and endless meditation. But do you know much more than that?
HOW IMMUNITY WORKS AND WHAT EXACTLY IT IS AND DOES
Your immune system is made up of billions of white blood cells and also includes the bone marrow, antibodies and your thymus gland. It is in charge of attacking and destroying the millions of microbes (bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi) that flood your body each and every day. Your health relies on the success of the constant battle between your immune system - your personal invisible defence system - and these external attackers. It’s a never-ending war between warring factions and the stronger your army the greater your chance of a long and healthy life. It’s that simple.
WHAT ARE NATURAL KILLER CELLS?
On top of that, your defence system also deals daily with your less than perfect cells - the ‘senescent’ ageing, abnormal or cancerous cells that can turn rogue and mutate, harming rather than helping you. The key players in your immune system are your white blood cells - the lymphocytes - the most important of which are the Natural Killer cells (NK cells), the T-cells and the B-cells. In normal circumstances they work efficiently together as a team, destroying unidentifiable invaders and cleaning up older malfunctioning cells.

When your body gets overwhelmed by stress, however, and remains in that state over a long period of time, these cells stop functioning efficiently and their numbers go down, allowing inflammation, infection and ultimately, more serious health issues to overwhelm your system. The lower your NK cell activity the higher your risk of developing cancer. Add to the mix a conventional medicine Catch-22, and you find that the standard treatments for cancer - chemotherapy or radiotherapy - may well target cancerous cells but they also attack healthy cells too, weakening the immune system even further.
WHAT IS BIOBRAN?
Biobran is my latest find. Rather like Heineken - it seems to reach the parts that other natural health supplements simply can’t. It is nothing less than an immune system miracle and has been shown to raise NK levels more than 35 times in the space of four weeks. Dr Ghoneum of Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles has described it as the most powerful immune booster he has ever found. Biobran is not meant to be a replacement for conventional medical treatment, but helps to support it, working hand in hand with pharmaceutical solutions to raise numbers of NK cells and T and B cells to optimal levels.

Developed more than 20 years ago in Japan, Biobran (or MGN-3) is a natural supplement made from rice bran broken down by the enzymes of Shitake mushrooms. It comes as a single daily pill which releases its powerful contents first into your small intestine and then on into your blood, where it activates those vital immune cells and triggers cell death in cancer cells. Within two to three weeks, NK cell levels have been shown to increase by up to 300%, B-cells by 250% and T-cell numbers by 200%. And all without side effects of any kind.
BIOBRAN MGN-3 AND ARTHRITIS, ME, HEPATITIS, HIV, DIABETES AND CANCER
There are 43 published peer reviewed papers on Biobran demonstrating how it works. It has been shown to help rheumatoid arthritis, virally triggered ME, Hepatitis B & C, HIV and diabetes as well as cancer. Biobran reduces the side effects of chemotherapy and recent trials show it can also successfully control and clear the HPV virus connected to cervical cancer.

All in all a very useful pill to add to your daily supplements... whatever your age and current state of health.
BIOBRAN (MGN-3) AND STAGE 4 LUNG CANCER
One of my readers from Serbia got in touch with me a few months ago. She had just been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and asked me if I could suggest anything to help her. Biobran sprang immediately to mind - they have a wide network of global suppliers, and the Serbian distributor came rapidly to the rescue. Now, two months later, she has just had the results of her latest CT scan back which showed the cancer is in regression, with the metastasis in the pleura disappeared and her left lung entirely clear.

Of course, with a case study of one it's hard to say if this improvement is solely down to the chemo or if this has been augmented by the Biobran but she feels that without it her situation might have not been so positive. There is a definite difference in the level of side effects and reaction to the chemo she experienced with the Biobran rather than without, which she is clear can only be down to the Biobran. She writes: "Biobran diminishes the side effects of chemotherapy, such as nausea, stomach sickness, tingling in the fingers and toes, and gives more energy and promotes appetite, as well as keeping blood count from falling and helping the body to build it up. Which is very important with oncology patients."
Biobran is available from healthy.co.uk, from £29.95.
