The Cause of All Disease: A Unified Theory
The Free Radical Theory of Ageing, first proposed by Harman in the 1950s, basically asserted that oxidative stress generated from normal metabolic processes continually contributed to the ageing process by the slow accumulation of oxidative damage to biomolecules. The Unified Theory on the Cause of All Disease expands on this concept, asserting that all diseases come from combinations of increased oxidative stress in different tissues and areas of the body.
This presentation asserts that all damage from all toxins is due to the oxidation of biomolecules. Furthermore, the case will be made that the only clinical differences resulting from the exposure to different toxins relates to a number of their varying chemical characteristics. Different diseases result from different tissues, organs, and areas of the body having greater or lesser degrees of oxidised biomolecules.[expand title=”Read more…”]
Furthermore, the case will be made that infections, often occult, are far and away the primary sources of toxins, and that identifying and properly addressing these sources of toxins and oxidative stress can often stop the progress of some chronic degenerative diseases and even occasional result in various degrees of disease reversal. The importance of maintaining antioxidant reservoirs in the body to support such a therapeutic approach will also be highlighted.[/expand]
About Dr Thomas Levy
Dr. Levy is a board-certified cardiologist and a bar-certified attorney. After practising adult cardiology for 15 years, he began to research the enormous toxicity associated with much dental work, as well as the pronounced ability of properly-administered vitamin C to neutralise this toxicity. He has now written ten books, with several addressing the wide-ranging properties of vitamin C in neutralising all toxins and resolving most infections, as well as its vital role in the effective treatment of heart disease and cancer. Others address the important roles of dental toxicity and nutrition in disease and health.
Currently, Dr. Levy continues to research the impact of the orthomolecular application of vitamin C and antioxidants in general on chronic degenerative diseases. His ongoing research involves documenting that all diseases are different forms and degrees of focal scurvy, arising from increased oxidative stress, especially intracellularly, and that they all benefit from protocols that optimise the antioxidant levels in the body. His work documents the importance of minimising toxin exposure while maximising antioxidant and nutrient/micronutrient intake and assimilation. He regularly gives lectures on this information at medical conferences around the world.

Vitamin C and Infection: The Ultimate Antibiotic
The history of vitamin C and infection will be reviewed. Pertinent scientific literature will be highlighted addressing how vitamin C, properly dosed and administered, has resulted in the cure of a wide variety of viral and bacterial infections, as well as many other infections of different origin, many resistant to any of the agents currently offered by mainstream medicine.
It will also be discussed how the proper usage/administration of vitamin C can effectively prevent or resolve all of the conditions for which childhood vaccinations are currently recommended and given.[expand title=”Read more…”] The positive impact of vitamin C on many different aspects of the immune systems will also be discussed, as well as the ability of vitamin C to protect babies, children, and adults from the side effects of vaccinations that are given.
A discussion of the multiple ways in which vitamin C can be administered will also be presented in order to help the conference attendee make practical decisions on how to benefit best from this remarkable agent.[/expand]

Choosing Health – Honour your intestinal microflora, so that you may live long
The incidence of acute and chronic diseases is increasing worldwide and especially so in developing countries. This development is strongly associated with Western lifestyle: lack of physical exercise, mental stress, use of tobacco and alcohol but also with consumption of refined and calorie-condensed processed foods, and a lifestyle, which generally seem to increase the level of systemic inflammation in the body, “paralyse” the innate immune system and reduce resistance to disease. It is an interesting observation that most chronic diseases are related to each other, as they are all more or less a product of an obvious but often discrete elevation in systemic inflammation. Increasing evidence suggest that inflammation is “mother of disease”, which seems to explain old observations of clustering of disease to groups such as individuals and to families.[expand title=”Read more…”]The science of molecular biology has provided tools to study how ingredients in foods influence the degree of systemic inflammation, affect the immune system and provide background for understanding development of disease. This recent new science, called nutrigenomics, provides effective tools to map various food ingredients and their effects on human genome and biology. It is increasingly evident that modern industrial processes both in agriculture and food industry, much associated with efforts to increase productivity, are to be held responsible for the unacceptably high content of unwanted pro-inflammatory molecules and carcinogenic molecules in our daily food.
Increasing evidence support the importance of consumption of fresh fruits and of especially vegetables, but also of non-cultivated fish, for protection against unhealthy. Plants are rich in anti-oxidative substances, biologically active fibres, proteins, plant fats, plant antioxidants and have all, especially at their exterior surfaces, a unique and strong protection layer rich in antioxidants, phospholipids and probiotic bacteria. Many thousand such substances also health-protecting bacteria exist in nature, most of them either unidentified or not fully explored, which have the potential to reduce the speed of ageing, prevent degenerative malfunction of organs in the body and protects against disease. Common for them are their unique ability to reduce systemic inflammation. Some specific probiotic strains have also in clinical studies demonstrated unique ability to suppress inflammation and prevent from/cure disease. This recent knowledge provides great opportunities for individuals to influence her/his future health.[/expand]
About Professor Bengmark
After a long successful career as a surgeon, professor and clinic director, Professor Stig Bengmark has become an acknowledged world authority on chronic inflammation and chronic diseases, which he says the facts show are a result of dysbiosis. Stig received his MD and PhD in medicine from Lund University in Sweden and has held the position of Honorary Visiting Professor at University College London since 1999.
