Dear Subscriber,
I’ve written lots about mitochondria, the energy furnaces of your body. Dr. Kenner chimes in here. Please enjoy.

Mitochondrial Failure
Mitochondria are the “energy batteries” found in every cell. In the mitochondria, the metabolism of sugars is completed. They release energy from adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level. ATP release is triggered by thyroid hormone and coenzyme Q‑10. Forward-thinking physicians and scientists have been citing “mitochondrial failure” as the original cause of cancer and probably most chronic diseases, such as chronic infections and chronic, unresolving inflammation. Without adequate energy, the body is not able to throw off a burden like cancer that is lodged in the tissues. Any discharge of toxicity or tumor material will simply precipitate back into the system.
Max Gerson, M.D., who developed a cancer-curing protocol in the 1940s, knew this and incorporated thyroid hormone and enzymes into his regimen. The stimulation of energy production is necessary to activate the cells and break down tumor mass. Other treatments that actually can cure cancer also escalate the energy production apparatus, such as hyperthermia (inducing a fever that selectively destroys abnormal cells) and ozone treatment. Another approach is building up and strengthening the system with nutritional and botanical intravenous treatment.
This same principle of charging up the body’s batteries was initiated over 120 years ago. At the turn of the 20th century, Nikola Tesla, a designer of high-frequency electrotherapy equipment, and himself a witness to the health benefits of high voltage electric fields, developed in particular oscillators dedicated to electrotherapy manufactured from 1903 on his assembly line in the United States. Tesla launched the Tesla Electro Therapeutic Company in 1917. Over 25 years later, this device was still in use. On September 6, 1932, the American Congress of Physical Therapy in New York recognized the exceptional effectiveness of Tesla oscillators, "with highly beneficial results in the treatment of cancer, surpassing anything that traditional surgery could accomplish." It’s amazing and tragic that the pharmaceutical companies could make this vanish.
In 1925, Russian Scientist Georges Lakhovsky published a paper with the explicit title of “Curing Cancer with Ultra Radio Frequencies” in Radio News. The “Multi-Wave Oscillator” was used in France, Austria, Italy, and in New York at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. It was used for many cases of joint pain and cancer pain, but there were also reports in journals and at conferences of remissions of cancer (prostate, digestive organs, breast, kidney, uterus, ovaries, lungs, brain, lymphoma, leukemia), diabetes, numerous types of infections, enuresis, uterine fibroma, SLE (lupus), hemorrhoids, ulcerations in the digestive tract, anthrax and a variety of other afflictions. Lakhovsky claimed that the device simply recharged the body’s cells.
Thyroid blood tests are not a viable method for testing for mitochondrial failure. They only show what is in the blood serum and do not reflect what is going on at the cellular level if the hormones reach their targets. A significant amount of TSH does not go to the thyroid. Some of it is sequestered in lymph nodes, which are rich in TSH receptors. TSH also stimulates enzyme production in the pancreas. We don’t know how much T3 reaches the mitochondria. We have to use blood tests that reflect actual cellular activity. If we test lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CPK), we can calculate the level of mitochondrial activity. LDH is a type of protein called an enzyme that helps the body produce energy. LDH is present in tissues throughout your body. Creatine phosphokinase (CPK), or simply creatine kinase (CK), is an enzyme that helps regulate the concentration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) within a cell.
There are several ways to increase our energy production. Not losing energy in the first place from excess sugar, alcohol, and poor lifestyle, is fundamental. Exercise is, of course, at the top of the list of lifestyle practices. There are the therapeutic methods mentioned above, ozone and hyperthermia (even a good sauna can help), and there are numerous supplements that can give some degree of a boost.
These supplements include Coenzyme Q-10, thyroid supplements like Thyroplex, plant-based nutrients like resveratrol, ginseng, green tea extract, turmeric, cordyceps, and triphala; also, various nutrients like d-ribose, creatine, astaxanthin, magnesium, taurine, alpha-lipoic acid, n-acetyl cysteine (NAC), vitamin C, niacin, quercetin, and citrus bioflavonoids. I don’t believe this list is exhaustive, but most of these herbs and nutrients are beneficial and readily available.
To your good health and prosperity.

Wouldn't it be nice if we were able to get all of these supplements in just a few capsules? ; }
Thankyou very much for this info.
