Nobel Prize winners join elite group of Australians
Reporter: Mick O'Donnell
MAXINE McKEW: A call from Stockholm last night to two close mates in Perth has placed them on the elite roll of internationally celebrated scientists. Robin Warren and Barry Marshall have won the 2005 Nobel Prize for Medicine. This places them among the very few Australians - only eight - to receive the prestigious award. They join famous names such as Peter Doherty, Howard Florey and McFarlane Burnett in being honoured for ground-breaking medical research. Professors Warren and Marshall revolutionised the treatment of stomach ulers with their research in the early '80s. And like all great science discovery tales, this one has the underdogs triumphing over a dominant orthodoxy. Mick O'Donnell reports.
MICK O'DONNELL: It's a long way from the lonely years in the lab to the limelight of the Nobel laureate.
BARRY MARSHALL, 2005 NOBEL PRIZE WINNER: It's not as if we sat down one day and said, "Ulcers, that's an important problem we should tackle." We just drifted into it.
MICK O'DONNELL: But today, 20 years after their quiet laboratory breakthrough, two Western Australian medical scientists stepped gracefully, even humbly, into the glare of world attention.
BARRY MARSHALL: If you've got a balanced life you're not really going to change.
MICK O'DONNELL: Barry Marshall at 54 is a professor of microbiologist at the University of Western Australia. Robin Warren is retired at 68 after a pathology career at the Royal Perth Hospital.
ROBIN WARREN, 2005 NOBEL PRIZE WINNER: When they rang me from Stockholm suddenly the blood ran from my head - I could feel it.
BARRY MARSHALL: You didn't look well, Robin.
MICK O'DONNELL: As of last night they're Australia's newest recipients of the Nobel prize for Medicine, the world's most prestigious, joining four other Australians over recent years. Peter Doherty, the microbiologist who won in '96, just wrote a book called 'A Beginners Guide to Winning the Nobel Prize'.
PETER DOHERTY, 1996 NOBEL PRIZE WINNER: It was fantastic to see Barry and Robin win this and a tremendous accolade for Australian science and for a really rather simple but very powerful discovery that's had enormous effort on human wellbeing.
MICK O'DONNELL: Behind the humble demeanour of the two Perth winners is a quiet confidence in the significance of their research. The discovery that a bacterium, bacterium helicobacter pilori, not stress, is the cause of stomach ulcers.
PROFESSOR TERRY BOLIN, GUT FOUNDATION: It was the most revolutionary discovery in gastroenterology in the last quarter of a century. Nothing else of that dramatic nature has exceeded it.
MICK O'DONNELL: At Royal Perth Hospital back in the early '80s Robin Warren noticed a strain of bacteria in a petri dish left for longer than usual over the Easter break.
ROBIN WARREN: Just by chance I saw this bacteria from a biopsy from the stomach. I tried to show them to my colleagues in the laboratory because they looked very interesting to me. I thought they looked very interesting and no-one would believe me.
MICK O'DONNELL: Dismissed as obsessive, Warren found a kindrid spirit in Barry Marshall. The two had to fight a prevailing orthodoxy to resist the idea that a bug caused ulcers.
BARRY MARSHALL: We said, "Let's look back a bit and look down the ordinary old microscope, and we can see these bugs everywhere". And they said, "No, you can't. It's just in Western Australia, there's something wrong with that place."
MICK O'DONNELL: They teamed up and examined dozens of stomach biopsies and convinced themselves that the stress theory was simply wrong.
BARRY MARSHALL: The paradox was that many people gave up this stressful lifestyle trying to protect themselves from ulcers, and they still had the ulcers.
ROBIN WARREN: Drug companies were making masses of money out of it, too.
MICK O'DONNELL: At the time major drug companies had introduced acid reducing drugs which were prescribed in a huge worldwide market. Marshall and Warren showed a simple course of antibiotics could stop 80-90 per cent of ulcers.
BARRY MARSHALL: A pharmaceutical company want to sell you a drug that you take every day for the rest of your life, a cholesterol drug, a diabetes drug, they are great sellers. If they sell you a drug which cures you, you only need to take it once or for one week. So how can you make it generate as much profit?
MICK O'DONNELL: You've killed the market?
BARRY MARSHALL: That's right.
ROBIN WARREN: The drugs went out of business because we stopped the bacteria so they weren't needed anymore.
MICK O'DONNELL: Today, Barry Marshall was asked over and over to repeat the anecdote that he dosed himself with the bacteria in 1984, to prove the bug they nicknamed the helicopter was the culprit.
BARRY MARSHALL: Somebody had to do it, swallow the bacteria and develop the disease.
ROBIN WARREN: He sent a piece to me and it was a very nasty and inflamed stomach.
BARRY MARSHALL: I said to my wife, "We were right." And she said, "What?" "I took the bacteria, I've got the illness." She said, "You did what?! Here we are trying to manage with all of these little children and the chaos in our lives and in the middle of it you make yourself sick." I was then threatened with eviction.
PROFESSOR TERRY BOLIN, GUT FOUNDATION: Barry was quite courageous in swallowing this concoction that apparently contained the bacteria and got terrible gastro-intestinal problems afterwards, but then it was a long road of proving the association with ulcers, the bacteria and then eradicating the ulcers with antibiotic therapy.
MICK O'DONNELL: In 1990 an international medical committee held a news conference to endorse the Marshall-Warren research.
JOHN VERREN: I saw my father die from the same problem and I'm quite convinced that I was well on the way to following in his footsteps.
MICK O'DONNELL: Now millions around the world just like Perth man John Verron have had their gastric and peptic ulcers quickly cured, thanks to these two Perth researchers.
JOHN VERREN: This is a new world. There's no reason to suffer anymore.
PROFESSOR TERRY BOLIN: Ulcers are now disappearing in the West. They're still prevalent in developing countries.
PETER DOHERTY: They'll be feeing pretty happy about it and they'll be tired and they'll be maybe even thinking a little bit, are they sure they got the right guys? I think probably not in this case because it's been out there for such a long time and people realise it's so important for such a long time, it seems such an obvious Nobel prize really.
MICK O'DONNELL: Robin Warren is retired but returned to his workplace at Royal Melbourne today for a few pats on his back. The two seem unfazed by the prize money that comes with the Nobel - $750,000 each.
BARRY MARSHALL: It's monopoly money, just the numbers that you can't comprehend really.
ROBIN WARREN: My computer crashed last night and at the same time Barry has got about 100 emails from around the world. Perhaps it's a good time for my computer to crash. Perhaps I'll buy a big new computer (Laughs).
MAXINE MCKEW: Maybe he will. A couple of great new champions for science.

There Truly is a Cure for Osteo Arthritis
Degenerative Arthritis is Purely Optional
The following is the start of my story of how I rid my body of not only Arthritis but also of developing heart problems, Prostate problems, Diabetes, Diabetic eye damage, Haemochromatosis, Depression and Chronic Fatigue syndrome. It is an introduction before we start explore in more detail aspects of the nutritional needs that must be met if we are to kiss goodbye to most degenerative diseases like Degenerative Arthritis and others with the objective of long, productive, disease free quality of life. My mentor worked every day of his life doing what had become his passion, hobby and enjoyment as he enriched so many others. He came home from his laboratory one afternoon after a full days work, lay down for a nap and didn’t wake up at age 114. Later we will also look at other long living people like Okinawa and certain Himalayan people where old age is so natural that men in their 100 plus years are still doing pick and shovel road works.
I am motivated to action as I read the blogs and stories of people with Arthritis and when I see people wandering down the street limping with pain I am saddened because I've been there and understand, possibly even worse than most, the good news is that none of us have to suffer, there is a way out and only someone who’s been there and won, totally defeated Degenerative Arthritis and other diseases out of their body can truly understand the pain and discomfort 24/7 from arthritis and what it is like to stand on the winners podium free of pain regained mobility and freedom to do whatever they have to do.
According to Professor Campbell exactly the same applies to Coronary Heart Disease, Cancer, MS, Alzheimer’s, and most of the Western Worlds Degenerative Diseases that never get better only worse as long as we live.
A considerable component why we suffer and continue to degenerate is that most of the treatment is based around treating the symptoms not the cause. We are prescribed pain killers, anti-inflammitories, operations to remove the affected joints or tumours which are again just the symptoms, even coronary heart has symptoms treated so the treatments can’t possibly cure the problem until the cause is eradicated from our bodies.
What I have to share is not new and I didn’t invent it I found it hidden away in the public domain under so much misinformation that all goes to make the profits of various sectors of the sickness industry very rich indeed.
Because of the change of direction i am not going further here and will concentrate on rebuilding this blog and links to the website to further enhance the value for everyone.
I just wish to encourage people with the information as to the causes and we will discuss these later but that information is not lost completely and is still there so degenerative arthritis is now optional and doesn't have to ruin our lives but we have some work to do.
Hope to chat soon and hear the things that are of most interest to you and if you wish to leave questions or share your experiences you can go to the link below and leave your comments. In the mean time the website is www.healedwithoutdrugs.com.au for more information.

Degenerative Arthritis is Purely Optional You Don't Have to Suffer!
This Blog is about what I actually experienced and found out as I researched the causes of my most pressing need, to cure my Arthritis, avoid and get out of the need for a wheelchair for the rest of my life. I didn't want to be remembered by my grand children as a grumpy old coot who sat in a wheelchair and everyone had to help do the basic things of life.
The surgical options for were way gone as after my Hip replacement and it started up in just about every other load bearing joint in my body including my feet. It was then that my engineering mind took over and I realised that replacing the hip joint was really operating on a symptom not the cause. Whenever a machine broke down we would always look for the cause and remedy that then fix up the damage.
within this marvelous body of ours we have a self healing mechanism that is primed waiting to self heal once we strengthen the immune system to overpower the disease. The problem turned out not to be the age I had reached but the renowned healer of 2,500 years ago Hippocrates knew the cause, that it took years of my lifestyle to build up enough toxins within the body to support the disease to overcome the autoimmune and start up. This was compounded by eating foods (considered healthy) that actually supported the disease.
The remedy was to detox the body and start feeding it the foods that supported the immune and starved the disease and the body did the rest. Ultimately the body did the healing and to-date it has been busy replacing diseased and weak cells particularly in and around the joints with brand new healthy, strong cells that take over and rebuild strong healthy joints just as they were originally meant to be.
As we speak I do not have a pain in any joint except the metal one that the then reputed best surgeon in our State on hips replaced with a prosthesis that cost $26,000 and was expected to last for my life and just 12 years later needs replacing.
In this Blog I will be sharing what I have learnt, done and lessons of what not to do. They worked for me after I read others experiences and gently tested them. Whilst I have no formal medical experience that turned out to be one of the greatest blessings in disguise as I relied on my engineering commonsense starting with the realisation that medical science was only treating the symptoms not the cause so the first job was to find the cause.
One night I was sitting watching the Australian ABC 7.30 report when two scientists from Western Australia were being interviewed for their winning of the Nobel Prize for finding the cure for the stomach ulcers. They emphatically castigated the big drug houses who apparently tried to tip buckets of water on their find (Just as they are accused of in Campbell's case when he released the scientific findings of the cause of Cancer, Heart disease, Arthritis and a host of other incurable diseases in the Western Developed World in his book "The China study". All these people said that there is much more profit for the big drug houses to keep people alive and treat their symptoms for life than make a drug that a weeks course cures the disease and they loose a future customer.
Likewise operating on the symptoms(removing diseased joints, tumors etc) leaves the disease in the system to pop its head up and start up again in may be multiple places and then they sell more and more stronger and stronger more and more toxic drugs with horrendous side effects whilst we suffer in order for them to increase their profits.
Listening to people I am starting to get the feedback that there are so many people out there who are in trouble but have slightly different situations like allergies or osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Heart problems, cancer and diabetes and so on that people are worried about and looking for answers. One Chap wanted more information about the links between arthritis and how attacking just arthritis cured my prostate enlargement and the secret was the slight changes I made that accommodated the needs of the prostate to self heal and that is not something I went into in the book in great detain as it was a narrow specific situation and another book was envisioned for that subject and by exposing that information now freely can add huge value to some people but only if I know what they want to talk about and facilitate discussion. After that you can do your own gradual experiments to adjust to your specific needs. Because I've got an engineering/inventors background not medical and I went after specific quest of defeating arthritis and found solutions these other areas need more research but knowing what I did and have learnt plus other peoples valuable discussions can make the seemingly impossible possible.
For these reasons I am listening and changing my thinking on how to best present this information to best value of all hence this blog, I am also soon to start another Blog that will only be available for people who have bought my books so they can read in installments the contents of the future books as they are being written also to make what I did more specific to many people who would be otherwise waiting unnecessarily and by refocusing and setting up to ask you and give you opportunity to tell us anything you want to ask or add maybe don't understand, stuff you want expanded and also tell us the things that are important to you and the things that worry you. Feedback of what works for you and what doesn't is an incredible resource for many and a cross fertilization of experiences. An example is as so many have experienced that arthritic pain is a huge killer of energy and libido and how I found a successful resolve to that and I suspect there will be others who found good ways to improve this very important area to some of us, all of which gives people options.
A higher priority than even selling my books not that that is unimportant but my aim is to see people that are where I was, in pain and overwhelmed by their problems find solutions and get healed totally and by asking you to participate I believe it will add considerable value not only to me via the feed back but also to a load of readers who would have loved to ask that question.
People who tested my methodology for me have benefited from access to check what my experience was as they progressed and this is a sort of quiet way of doing that in numbers.
