Ask Dr Garland

Today’s story comes from the desk of Dr. John Cannell, MD, Executive Director of the Vitamin D Council, a non-profit group dedicated to educating the public and professionals about Vitamin D Deficiency.

It shows the dramatic healing capacity of Vitamin D-3 on one of the most baffling epidemics of modern time – childhood Autism.

Dear Dr. Cannell:

At age 2.5 years, between December 2007 and January 2008, my son experienced a fairly dramatic onset of symptoms that led to his diagnosis of autism.

We took our son to see a number of specialists during the winter of 2008 including a neurologist (who diagnosed him with Asperger Syndrome), a psychologist (who diagnosed with autism), and a second psychologist who specialized in the treatment of autism (who diagnosed him with Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not-Otherwise-Specified). All three diagnoses are on the autism spectrum. He also began seeing an occupational therapist, a speech therapist, a behavioral specialist, and a DAN! (Defeat Autism Now!) doctor for dietary interventions.

We saw a dramatic improvement by April/May of that year. Nearly all the symptoms on the list above had resolved. We assumed the improvements were due to diet but he started to go into the sun around that time. Our son slept well and spent many peaceful, happy and anxiety-free months during the spring and summer after turning three.

By December, our son’s symptoms had worsened further and we decided to put him in a very expensive and intensive autism treatment program through our local hospital. He made slow progress during his participation in the program from January through April. He was also involved in speech and occupational therapy during the winter months.

We’ve all heard how Pancreatic Cancer is just about incurable. It took Patrick Swayze’s life in a few short months, despite him spending millions on his treatment.

Guess what? This “forgotten vitamin” has shown positive results in studies to short circuit Pancreatic Cancer cells,  getting the cells to commit suicide (“apoptosis” or programmed death.) It does the same thing with Prostate Cancer cells.

What if I told you that it shows the same promise against Ovarian cancer, Leukemia and one of the most deadly and fatal forms of liver cancer, “Malignant Hepatoma” or HCC?

And that’s not all it does.

It also unclogs blocked arteries, reverses osteoporosis and might be the missing link in fighting Alzheimer’s. These are all major killers in America today and most likely you or one of your family members or friends is fighting one of these conditions.

Why doesn’t the world know more about this? I asked myself that very same question when we were first developing our super D3+K2/Abc formula.

Leslie Newman

My name is Leslie Newman and I just have to tell you my story. I truly believe I am alive today because of Dr. Garland and his natural healing program.

A little over a year ago I began experiencing extreme fatigue along with several other unusual symptoms, including canker sores on the insides of my cheeks, severe constipation, continual mental fogginess, and a host of other issues.

I went to a virologist who examined my blood and he said I had a “cancer virus” and showed it to me on the screen. Needless to say, he got my attention. I also had herpes, parasites and bacterial overgrowth. My blood literally looked like it was “dead” under the microscope – and that’s how I felt too.

The virologist put me on an herbal program to purge the parasites, which did a good job, but I still felt fatigued – like I was barely alive – and was basically unable to work. He also told me I needed to drink gallons of colloidal silver to handle the virus, but I was uncomfortable with this concept.

I was getting desperate and I didn’t have any other means of financial support if I didn’t work, so I didn’t know how to proceed.

I shared my situation with my chiropractor and he told me about Dr Garland and his success in treating all kinds of diseases with his naturopathic approach with Traditional Chinese Medicine, mineral compounds and special diets. So we arranged a meeting.

In all my time in natural medicine I’ve seen some amazing discoveries, and many of them I have implemented into my formulations with equally amazing success as you can see from our regular newsletter testimonials.

But I never thought in my wildest dreams and hopes that Mother Nature would give the world something as incredible as Vitamin D-3. Every day now it seems yet another research report comes out detailing how this extraordinary hormone/vitamin can stop epidemic diseases in their tracks.

I’ve always had a passion for Vitamin D-3 because of its origins. It’s a true Gift from God. The body “makes” it from pure sunshine on our skin.  In fact, every single form of life is the result of sunshine from our sun. Plant, insect and animal.

What did God know when He created all Life? That pure rays of sunshine would generate “life actions” within us, all animals right down to a microscopic bug or insect or blade of grass? And that without it, all disease breeds uncontrollably? People die, plants die, bugs and beetles and microscopic jiggers die.

It’s fascinated me for years. If you can, read the book, “The Secret Life of Plants”. It’s an extraordinary textbook or treatise on the power and mystery of life on our planet.

I wondered, what if we could double, triple even quadruple its power?

During a routine physical exam in April 2004, my doctor noticed that I had an enlarged thyroid.  He sent me to get a sonogram to get a better look and a few days later it showed two nodules or growths; one on each side of my thyroid gland.  One was 1.2cm, the other just over twice that size.

I was then scheduled for a biopsy to check for cancerous cells and of course, the “c” word scared the heck out of me!

The results of the biopsy were inconclusive; the pathologist called them “suspicious.”  I called my doctor and he said they could be benign follicular nodules or malignant tumors. To be safe, he recommended surgery to remove the growths  and part, or possibly all, of my thyroid gland. He said that the only way to find out for sure if they were cancerous was to perform a tissue biopsy after removal.

“But don’t you worry,” my doctor said, “if they are malignant, surgically removing them will 100% cure the thyroid cancer.  And if they turn out to be benign, then it’s no big deal.  We’ll put you on synthetic hormone replacement medicine for the rest of your life, and you’ll be just fine.”

He gave me the name of a surgeon and urged me to schedule surgery to remove my thyroid. I was afraid. The doctor is always right, isn’t he?  Nobody wants to mess around when he spouts words like “malignant” or “cancer.”  I did as I was told and got on the phone right away and scheduled surgery.

But I Wasn’t Ready to Cut Out My Thyroid on a Hunch

Fortunately a small, but saner part of my mind totally balked at the willy-nilly chopping out of my God-given thyroid gland, on the unsubstantiated hunch that it may have malignant tumors.
