Our book "An Unbelievable Story" is about a possible cure for aids and cancer. The story here is that my wife discovered four herbs, that she did not no anything about, while she was in a trance-like, dream-like state. We later learned through researching the herbs involved, that the herbs that she saw were each a nemisis to Aids and cancer. Two of the herbs involved in the possible cure are toxic.There was an interesting development that appeared in an article in the "Boston Globe" that was written by Gareth Cook that can add some credibility to the possible cure that my wife discovered. Edward Calabrese, a respected professor of toxicology at the University of Massachusetts, endured ridicule as he gathered evidence showing that small amounts of poisons, even cancer-causing chemicals such as dioxin, can be good for you, Calabrese's work suggest that for many chemicals, exposure to a low level may be healthier than no exposure at all, Though long relegated to the scientific fringe, Calabrese's idea is suddenly being taken seriously. Other scientist are citing his work. The invitations to speak at universities and scientific meetings are flooding in, and the concept has been added to leading toxicology textbooks. If Calabrese is correct, and small quantities of many toxins can be beneficial, then it could bring innovative drug therapies, save billions by relaxing overly strict environmental standards ,and fundamentally change the way scientist and the public think about poisons. The concept underlying Calabrers's work is called "Hormesis". In the broad sense, it is hardly controversial. Vitamins are healty in the right dose; toxic in larger ones. A glass of wine a day can be good for you; a gallon is not. Belladonna is a poison also, but is used all the time for stomach ailments. This article appeared in our local newspaper, The "Times Picayune" in New Orleans on December 14th 2003. It origanilly appeared in the "Boston Globe".
