NOW WHAT ?<\/strong>
\nThe following are excerpts from the book \u201cCancer-Free, Your Guide to Gentle, Non-toxic Healing,\u201d by Bill Henderson.<\/em><\/p>\n

There are three main reasons why people die of cancer today. They are:<\/h3>\n

\u2022 \u00a0 Lack of information.
\n\u2022 \u00a0 Lack of discipline once they have the information.
\n\u2022 \u00a0 Blind trust in their oncologist (cancer doctors).<\/p>\n

The word cancer in your diagnosis always creates fear. \u00a0This is part of the culture we live in and the sense of helplessness we have about how to deal with cancer. What \u00a0most \u00a0people \u00a0don\u2019t \u00a0understand \u00a0is \u00a0that \u00a0cancer \u00a0is \u00a0one \u00a0of \u00a0the \u00a0easiest \u00a0of \u00a0the degenerative conditions to reverse, once you understand what cancer is and the options available to you. Get informed and then decide which treatment method makes sense to you.<\/p>\n

There are Four Essentials to a successful plan<\/h2>\n

Essential # 1<\/strong>: Attitude. Having a positive attitude is paramount to your treatment plan! \u00a0How do you get and keep a positive attitude? \u00a0Gain knowledge; learn about the wide variety of cancer survivors and how they survived. There is not a single magic bullet that heals all cancers. There are, however, literally hundreds of substances that are non-toxic and natural. \u00a0Each one alone,or combined with others, has helped thousands of cancer patients get cancer-free. There are simple lifestyle changes (diet, supplements, exercise, and emotional peace) that restore health to cancer patients. Many of them are quite inexpensive or even free.<\/p>\n

Taking Charge of Your Own Health Care: You will usually be urged to begin chemotherapy and\/or radiation immediately. For the best chance of recovery, you must be prepared to resist this option. You, after all, are in charge. \u00a0You \u00a0should \u00a0delay \u00a0any \u00a0decisions \u00a0about \u00a0interventions \u00a0(surgery, \u00a0chemotherapy,radiation, etc.) until you are well enough informed to make an intelligent decision. \u00a0This is some times difficult because we have been trained from childhood that doctors have all the answers. It \u00a0takes \u00a0an \u00a0intelligent, \u00a0well \u00a0informed \u00a0patient \u00a0to \u00a0make \u00a0a \u00a0decision \u00a0that \u00a0is appropriate for them. \u00a0Keep an open mind. Be prepared to accept controversy as a normal part of any treatment plan, and be strong. Family and friends are well meaning, but after a few hours of research you will have more knowledge about cancer and cancer options than even your doctor has. \u00a0The reason for this is that the great majority of conventional doctors has never studied, or has never been trained in \u00a0the alternative approaches to cancer therapy. We will cover this topic in more detail later.<\/p>\n

Essential #2<\/strong>: Advocate. If you have been diagnosed with cancer, you need to find your closest friend or relative and ask them to be your advocate. \u00a0Cancer evokes emotions in almost everyone that are hard to deal with. \u00a0Fear may freeze you. You are quickly exposed to confusing terms and advice \u00a0of \u00a0all \u00a0types \u00a0from \u00a0well-meaning family, \u00a0friends, \u00a0healthcare providers \u00a0and \u00a0other\u00a0sources. \u00a0 \u00a0You are \u00a0preparing to \u00a0do \u00a0battle with the \u00a0cancer \u201cindustry.\u201d \u00a0 This \u00a0plan may sometimes be difficult and stressful. \u00a0The path may be controversial and you will need all the help and moral support you can get.\u00a0 You are going to need to do research to find the information and resources for your plan of action. \u00a0 Many cancer patients do not have either the energy or patience to devote to getting the information needed. \u00a0Your advocate needs to accompany you to every doctor\u2019s appointment. \u00a0 He or she must be committed to your recovery and have a good sense of humor. \u00a0Your advocate must be willing to discuss options with your doctor and help you choose a second, third or fourth opinion doctor, if necessary.\u00a0 If you are the friend or a loved one who has been asked to be an advocate, accept gratefully. \u00a0There is no more spiritually fulfilling and uplifting role in the world. \u00a0 Your service will quite possibly save your friend, or loved one\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Essential #3<\/strong>:\u00a0 Choosing the right Medical Professional.\u00a0 Look for a doctor or healthcare professional who is not concerned only about treating symptoms \u00a0and \u00a0managing \u00a0disease. \u00a0 Look \u00a0for \u00a0someone \u00a0who \u00a0has \u00a0done \u00a0unique \u00a0research resulting \u00a0in \u00a0breakthrough \u00a0knowledge \u00a0about \u00a0understanding \u00a0the \u00a0causes \u00a0of \u00a0cancer \u00a0and treatments that work to reverse it at a cellular level. \u00a0They should also be knowledgeable and be concerned about prevention of current and future cancer challenges. \u00a0What is their approach for effectively preventing metastasis (the spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body); this (metastasis) is the cause of 90% of cancer deaths.\u00a0\u00a0 Look for help in the alternative, complementary or integrative medicine.\u00a0 Questions you want to ask your health care provider are; \u00a0\u00a0 How would you propose treating my type of cancer? \u00a0 If the answer is surgery, chemotherapy and\/or radiation. \u00a0 Ask about alternative treatments the doctor would support. \u00a0\u00a0 I take\/or want to take supplements as part of my treatment plan. \u00a0How do you feel about that?\u00a0\u00a0 The answer you want is \u201cThat is fine.\u201d\u00a0 If the doctor advises you not to \u00a0waste your money, or \u00a0just eat a \u00a0balanced diet, he \u00a0does not understand nutrition or how to heal the body on a cellular level.\u00a0\u00a0 Most medical doctors have little or no training in nutrition.\u00a0 I would like you to help me and advise me with my treatment plan, but I will be in charge of my own health care decisions. \u00a0 Is that consistent with your treatment approach?\u00a0\u00a0 Again you want an enthusiastic yes.<\/p>\n

Doctors that are arrogant, talk down to you, use words or expressions you do not understand, or think they have the only option for you, are dis-empowering. \u00a0Once you have given up or lost control of your treatment program fear sets in again. \u00a0You want a health care provider that \u201ctreats people, not disease.\u201d \u00a0Stay informed, and stay in control of your own treatment plan.<\/p>\n

Essential #4<\/strong>:\u00a0\u00a0 Action:\u00a0 Start treating yourself now! \u00a0Don\u2019t wait until you find the perfect medical professional. While you are searching for the right person to work with, start taking supplements which are inexpensive, and help any cancer treatment by making it easier to regain your health.\u00a0 Change your diet using the guidelines available to you from your healthcare provider.\u00a0 Take steps to cleanse and detoxify your body.\u00a0 Understand that most cancers have taken years to develop and grow. \u00a0 Don\u2019t be rushed into any treatment and do not allow any invasive procedures such as a biopsy until you have gotten all the information. \u00a0Biopsy and other invasive procedures run the risk of releasing cancer cells into your system which may lead to metastases.\u00a0 Once you understand cancer and your treatment option you can make an informed decision.<\/p>\n

There are low cost, non-invasive, non-toxic approaches to cancer treatment that may reverse or cure cancer in as little as 6 to 8 weeks.\u00a0 If you can avoid conventional therapy \u2013 surgery, chemotherapy and\/or radiation for that long – you may never need to use it. \u00a0 Remember untreated cancer does not stop growing. \u00a0 You want to get started on an\u201cinformed treatment plan\u201d that makes sense to you at the earliest possible time. \u00a0The next few weeks are critical to your recovery.\u00a0 Make an intelligent and informed choice.<\/p>\n

Putting Things In Perspective.\u00a0\u00a0 Part of making informed decisions is to understand your options and the influences which contribute to the various options.<\/p>\n

The following are excerpts by Dr. David Darbo from the book \u201cGreen Leaves of Barley \u2013 Nature\u2019s Miracle Rejuvenator\u201dby Dr. Mary Ruth Swope and David A. Darbo, M.D.<\/p>\n

After I graduated from medical school, I spent fifteen years doing just what they had taught me: to prescribe drugs. \u00a0I began to realize my patients never actually got well. \u00a0If they had high blood pressure, for instance, I could control it by giving them appropriate medication, \u00a0but \u00a0the \u00a0problem \u00a0itself \u00a0would \u00a0return \u00a0the \u00a0minute \u00a0the \u00a0medication \u00a0was discontinued.\u00a0 It dawned on me that all I had accomplished in spending five years and thousands of dollars in medical schools was that I had learned how to maintain disease at an acceptable level. Let\u2019s review the historical and philosophical roots of traditional medicine and alternative or preventive medicine. \u00a0\u00a0 “I am NOT in any way criticizing the noble men and women who dedicate their lives to saving the lives of others. \u00a0The hospitals in the U.S. are first-rate, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and staffed with skilled technicians, nurses and physicians. \u00a0 In a medical emergency, there is nowhere on earth I\u2019d rather be. It is necessary to act dramatically in crisis situations, and the medical profession is to be applauded for its skill in dealing with catastrophic illness.\u00a0\u00a0 My hat is off to the established medical order within the context of crisis care.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The problem is not how the medical system operates in its own context but how it fails to maintain health.”<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hippocrates, the \u201cfather of medicine\u201d lived 400 years before Christ, and doctored in his native Greece with such skill that men from all over the ancient world came to learn from him. \u00a0Even today, young doctors graduating from medical school traditionally take the Hippocratic Oath.\u00a0\u00a0 The debate which continues today began with the issue on which belief system the doctor opts for \u2013 to practice from experience or to practice from theory. \u00a0These two methods are known as empiricism and rationalism.<\/p>\n

EMPIRICISM:<\/strong>\u00a0 Webster defines it as pertaining to, founded upon, or derived from, experience: one who relies on practical experience to guide his actions.\u201d \u00a0 The earliest medicine was practiced from an empirical standpoint \u2013 the common sense method. \u00a0I see something works, so I do it. \u00a0I might not understand why it works, but the fact that it does work is more important to me than the explanation why.<\/p>\n

Hippocrates observed that the body has a tendency to heal itself.\u00a0\u00a0 It is nature that finds the way to preserve a perfect equilibrium, to re-establish order and harmony. \u00a0Hippocrates taught that nature is the best healer and that physicians should work with nature. \u00a0He saw the importance in being in harmony with nature. \u00a0He is credited as saying, \u201cFood is your best medicine and the best foods are the best medicines.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span> \u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>His \u00a0teachings \u00a0concentrated more \u00a0upon \u00a0seeing \u00a0the \u00a0patient \u00a0as \u00a0a \u00a0unique \u00a0individual interacting \u00a0to \u00a0his \u00a0own \u00a0environment \u00a0than \u00a0as \u00a0a \u00a0patient \u00a0exhibiting \u00a0a \u00a0specific \u00a0disease.\u00a0\u00a0 Symptoms were regarded by the empirical physician as the result of the body\u2019s reactions to what it encounters from the outside world, and the goal of the physician was to bring the body back into balance. \u00a0The emphasis is on the general state of a patient\u2019s wellness, not the particular manifestation of a specific disease. \u00a0He believed the body was capable of healing itself; \u00a0the task is to promote the general wellness of the body so it would be strong enough to rid itself of a particular disease.\u00a0 The doctor is seen as a teacher, an assistant to the healing process, not the crucial figure in the healing process. \u00a0Hippocrates\u2019 cardinal rule of thumb was \u201cFirst, do no harm.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 Remember this, because in the context of modern medicine it becomes significant. \u00a0The keyto empiricism in medicine are \u201cpractical experience\u201d and \u201cpromoting wellness.\u201d<\/p>\n

RATIONALISM:<\/strong> \u00a0 Ancient Greece also produced another viewpoint, from which have arisen the medical giants of today. \u00a0Its most famous proponent was the physician, Galen, who lived several hundred years after Hippocrates, but Galen got his philosophy of medicine from the great philosopher, Aristotle.\u00a0\u00a0 Aristotle is credited with being the first person to divide up and categorize knowledge in a thorough, systematic order.\u00a0\u00a0 But order, reason and logic eventually came into conflict with the healing arts of empiricism. \u00a0What evolved was a system of viewing our universe in a constant striving for greater precision in analyzing the world around us. \u00a0When applied to the field of medicine, caused it to rigidly oppose anything it couldn\u2019t understand by logic or deduction.<\/p>\n

A BRIEF HISTORY OF MEDICINE IN U.S.: In the United States both traditions \u2013 empirical and rationalist \u2013 were thriving nicely in the beginning. \u00a0It didn\u2019t take long, however, for professional discord to set in. \u00a0By the early nineteenth century, the \u00a0two \u00a0traditions were locked in \u00a0an \u00a0idealistic battle. \u00a0 \u00a0The empiricists practiced homeopathy and herbal medicine. \u00a0 Many of these treatments, even today, we do not understand the mechanism behind the success of the treatment, but it is an undeniable fact it works.\u00a0\u00a0 The easiest way to sum up the essential difference in the two approaches to medicine is to understand that empiricists use \u201csimilars\u201d and rationalists use \u201copposites.\u201d \u00a0The health practitioner who uses similars wants to gently stimulate the patient\u2019s healing responses; he doesn\u2019t want to upset the \u201cbalance\u201d any more than it is already upset.\u00a0\u00a0 A person coming from the rationalist tradition, however, views disease in a completely different manner. \u00a0He doesn\u2019t think in terms of promoting health but rather in terms of fighting disease. \u00a0What is the enemy? \u00a0Disease, of course. \u00a0What needs to be done? \u00a0Fight and conquer the enemy.\u00a0\u00a0 How do you do that? \u00a0Oppose the problem. \u00a0Make the body do the opposite of what it is doing,\u00a0 (\u201cAllo\u201d means opposite, therefore, current medicine founded upon the rationalistic tradition is \u00a0called \u00a0\u201callopathic.\u201d) \u00a0 \u00a0The \u00a0perspective is \u00a0different here, \u00a0and \u00a0leads \u00a0to \u00a0wide extremes in selection of treatment. \u00a0Take for example a person with diarrhea. \u00a0If his doctor is from the allopathic school he will likely prescribe a drug that slows up the movement of the bowel.\u00a0\u00a0 Since diarrhea is caused by too much bowel activity, he will treat it with the opposite \u2013 a substance to slow its normal activity down to almost nothing.\u00a0 If, however, his doctor is from the empirical approach, he might suggest a very gentle enema to cleanse out the bowel \u2013 an action similar to how the body is already coping with this particular imbalance.\u00a0\u00a0 In 1849 the American Medical Association was founded by the allopathic physicians and has, for the last 150 years had a tradition of opposing any intellectual opposition. \u00a0Not only did they bar homeopathic doctors from its ranks, it prohibited its own membership from using any homeopathic techniques. \u00a0 It barred physicians who referred patients to homeopaths or who worked at hospitals where homeopaths were allowed to practice.\u00a0 With the coming of the Civil War, another major change in medicine took place. \u00a0Prior to this time, doctors themselves were familiar with the ingredients they prescribed for their patients. \u00a0 Now the compounding of medicines became centralized, doctors no longer needed to bother learning their own business \u2013 pharmaceutical companies not only identified the products to be used, but they advised the doctor as to what diseases the products could be use for. \u00a0 Within a very few years, there were thousands of patented medicines.\u00a0\u00a0 So what you ask? \u00a0 The pharmaceutical industry began producing literature to educate the doctor to new diseases and methods of cure using the compounded formulas they had patented. \u00a0 They developed the idea of the industry sending out \u201cdetail-men,\u201d sales persons trained to educate \u00a0doctors, \u00a0give \u00a0free \u00a0samples \u00a0and \u00a0provide \u00a0literature. \u00a0 \u00a0This \u00a0strategy \u00a0is \u00a0still \u00a0in widespread use today, but in the 1880\u2019s it was of an even greater impact. \u00a0In many parts of the country, because of poor or non-existent roads, physicians simply did not travel. \u00a0 There were few conventions and no refresher courses in those days. \u00a0For many the drug salesman became the key method of \u201cstaying up\u201d with medical research. \u00a0 Some of the pharmaceutical houses even supplied pharmacists with the financing, pamphlets, and supplies to begin their businesses. \u00a0With the drug industry supporting both the pharmacists and physicians, it had no competition except with itself, and medicine gradually evolved into a drug-industry-oriented treatment philosophy.\u00a0\u00a0 Between 1877 and 1883 Parke-Davis bought several successful medical journals, each headed by orthodox physicians, professors and prestigious medical schools. \u00a0These entities were now on the payroll of the pharmaceutical industry. \u00a0 The drug industry\u2019s companion technique was advertising. \u00a0 Of the 250 medical journals in existence in 1906, all but one was \u00a0supported by \u00a0advertising from the \u00a0pharmaceutical industry. \u00a0 The \u00a0pharmaceutical industry\u2019s efforts to seduce physicians through detail persons, free seminars, drug-testing and \u00a0research, \u00a0journal \u00a0ownership, \u00a0and \u00a0advertising \u00a0should \u00a0be \u00a0well \u00a0known \u00a0to \u00a0you \u00a0all.\u00a0\u00a0 Physicians had once been open to any therapeutic system that appealed to a rationalist\u2019s intellect. \u00a0 Now they assumed that the only answer was pharmaceutical.\u00a0\u00a0 I \u00a0am \u00a0the \u00a0first \u00a0to \u00a0admit \u00a0that \u00a0pharmaceuticals have \u00a0saved \u00a0thousands of \u00a0lives \u00a0and certainly have a valid place in the practice of medicine. \u00a0 But when we look at drugs in the larger context of the healing arts, we come up with some major problems.\u00a0\u00a0 For each desired action of a drug, there are usually numerous undesired actions \u2013 side effects. \u00a0\u00a0 Because of the toxicity of drugs, one of the major tasks of a physician\u2019s work is to assess what we call the \u201crisk-benefit factor.\u201d \u00a0Will we harm the patient more by giving the drug or by withholding it? \u00a0\u00a0 Most weapons against disease are also weapons against health.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anti-disease is NOT the same as pro-health.\u00a0\u00a0 Obviously, if a person is in an accident and breaks bones or needs lacerations sutured, alternative medicine is not appropriate. \u00a0 Thank God for our fine emergency rooms!\u00a0\u00a0 Likewise, if an appendix has ruptured it needs to be taken out by a skillful surgeon in a hospital setting.\u00a0\u00a0 God bless our fine surgeons!\u00a0\u00a0 If someone is having a heart attack, he needs to have an ambulance take him to the emergency room. \u00a0\u00a0 In its place, medicine as we know it is good and is needed.<\/p>\n

What makes me rebel is not that I don\u2019t appreciate it for what it is, but that I don\u2019t see it as the whole answer for the problem of illness.\u00a0\u00a0 Modern medicine is responsible for eradicating a host of diseases in which micro- organisms are the primary cause. \u00a0 Yet we still have disease. \u00a0If medicine has done such a good \u00a0job \u00a0of \u00a0stamping out \u00a0disease, why \u00a0are \u00a0health care \u00a0costs \u00a0so \u00a0high? \u00a0 \u00a0And \u00a0why \u00a0are physicians ignoring the use of nutrition as a treatment modality when it is a well-known fact that 70 percent of all deaths in the United States are caused by diseases linked to the consumption of our diet.\u00a0\u00a0 The average medical doctor isn\u2019t opposed to good nutrition; it\u2019s just that he doesn\u2019t see its relationship to the practice of medicine. \u00a0\u00a0 The idea of helping the body in a general way rather than combating a specific problem in the body is totally foreign to him. \u00a0His training taught him that \u201cscientific proof\u201d is necessary to validate everything. \u00a0 If it\u2019s not in his medical literature, it\u2019s not any good.So clinical nutrition, herbal remedies, drug-less medicine, and the like, are worthless to him because there\u2019s no \u201cproof\u201d they work. \u00a0He cares nothing for the fact that the patients get better \u2013 getting better isn\u2019t scientific enough.\u201c\u00a0\u00a0 Classical science assigns little value to knowing simply that something works. \u00a0 It assigns a much higher value to knowing how something works. \u00a0\u00a0 As a result, it\u2019s scientifically possible, perhaps even required, to call a therapy \u201cunscientific\u2019 or \u2018unproven\u2019 simply because scientists do not know how it works, even if there\u2019s evidence that it does work, and even though knowing how something works doesn\u2019t change its therapeutic value.\u201d\u00a0 The very gentleness that pleases patients and tends to avoid side effects, also makes proving that the natural healing did it, almost impossible, at least to the classically trained scientists. \u00a0As a result, those scientists generally call natural healing \u2018unproven\u2019 and \u2018unscientific,\u2019 while it is actually neither. \u00a0 It is simply another way of thinking, as logical and internally consistent as medicine, and with its own message of proof.\u201d<\/p>\n

Power, Politics and Profit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take another quick look at the history of science and the struggle against entrenched errors. \u00a0Many of the world\u2019s greatest discoveries initially were rejected by the scientific community. \u00a0And those who pioneered those discoveries often were ridiculed and condemned as quacks or charlatans.\u00a0\u00a0 In the field of medicine, in the year 130 A.D. the physician Galen postulated certain anatomical theories that later proved to be correct, but at the time he was bitterly opposed. \u00a0 In the Sixteenth Century, the physician Andreas Vesalius was denounced as an imposter and heretic because of his discoveries in the field of human anatomy. \u00a0His theories were accepted after his death but, at the time, his career was ruined, and he was forced to flee from Italy. \u00a0 William Harvey was disgraced as a physician for believing that blood was pumped by the heart and actually moved around the body through arteries. \u00a0 William Roentgen, the discoverer of \u00a0X-rays, at first was called a quack and then condemned out of fear that his ray would invade the privacy of the bedroom. \u00a0\u00a0 William Jenner, when he first developed a vaccine against smallpox, also was called a quack and was strongly criticized as a physician.\u00a0\u00a0 Centuries ago it was not unusual for entire naval expeditions to be wiped out by scurvy, a vitamin deficiency. \u00a0\u00a0 Between 1600 and 1800 the casualty list of the British Navy alone was over one million sailors. \u00a0\u00a0 Medical experts of the time were baffled as they searched in vain for some kind of strange bacterium, virus, or toxin that supposedly lurked in the dark holds of ships.\u00a0 And yet, for hundreds of years, the cure was already known and written in the record.<\/p>\n

In the winter of 1535, when the French explorer Jacques Cartier found his ships frozen in the ice off the St. Lawrence River, scurvy began to take its deadly toll. \u00a0\u00a0 Out of a crew of one hundred and ten, twenty-five already had died, and most of the others were so ill they weren\u2019t expected to recover.\u00a0\u00a0 And then a friendly Indian showed them the simple remedy. \u00a0\u00a0 Tree bark and needles from the white pine, both rich in ascorbic acid (vitamin C), were stirred into a drink which produced immediate improvement and swift recovery.\u00a0\u00a0 Upon returning to Europe, Cartier reported this incident to the medical authorities. But they were amused by such \u201cwitch-doctor cures of ignorant savages\u201d and did nothing to follow it up.\u00a0\u00a0 Yes, the cure for scurvy was known. \u00a0\u00a0 But, because of scientific arrogance, it took over two hundred years and cost hundreds of thousands of\u00a0 lives before the medical experts began to accept and apply this knowledge.\u00a0\u00a0 Finally, \u00a0in \u00a01747 \u00a0(212 \u00a0years \u00a0after \u00a0Jacques \u00a0Cartier\u2019s \u00a0report), \u00a0John \u00a0Lind, \u00a0a \u00a0young surgeon\u2019s mate in the British Navy discovered that oranges and lemons produced relief from scurvy, and recommended that the Royal Navy include citrus fruits in the stores of all its ships. \u00a0 And yet, it still took forty-eight more years before his recommendation was put into effect. \u00a0\u00a0 When it was, the British were able to surpass all other sea-faring nations, and the \u201cLimeys\u201d (so-called because they carried limes aboard ship) soon became the rulers of the \u00a0Seven Seas because their ships could stay at \u00a0sea \u00a0for \u00a0extended periods. \u00a0 It \u00a0is \u00a0no exaggeration to say that the greatness of the British Empire in large measure was the direct result of overcoming scientific prejudice against vitamin therapy. \u00a0It took them 260 years to implement this simple plan.\u00a0 In 1841 Ignatz Semmelweis, an obstetrician was hired to oversee 2 maternity wards in a Vienna hospital; one run by midwives and the other by physicians and their medical students. \u00a0 He noted the deaths due to a streptococcal infection (\u201cchildbirth fever\u201d) were much higher in the physicians ward (one death in every three patients), as compared to deaths in the midwives ward (almost non-existent).\u00a0\u00a0 As unbelievable as it seems, professors and their students in medical universities went from the dissecting room where they worked on cadavers (dead bodies), to the delivery rooms \u00a0where \u00a0they \u00a0examined \u00a0women \u00a0about \u00a0to \u00a0give \u00a0birth \u00a0\u2013 \u00a0all \u00a0without \u00a0washing \u00a0or disinfecting their hands. \u00a0A gratuitous rubbing of their bloody hands on their lab coats was considered ample, and in fact the presence of bloody matter on their coats was deemed almost a badge of honor.\u00a0\u00a0 At the time the medical establishment assumed the mothers were dying of various causes such as bowel obstruction and that the babies were dying due to bad breast milk.\u00a0 Dr. Semmelweis theorized that the infections were due to bacterial matter coming from the cadavers. \u00a0Semmelweis turned that all around in a revolution that was to save millions of new mothers\u2019 lives all over the world. \u00a0 He instituted strict hand-washing procedures for physicians and he could be considered the father of infection control. \u00a0Despite the fact that the death rate dropped to zero in the first year he was extremely unpopular with the physicians and his innovation was unwelcome in a university whose job was deemed to be that of teaching what was known of medicine as it existed at the time.\u00a0\u00a0 The students that complained he discharged. \u00a0\u00a0 Some of the students fought back and Semmelweis was removed from his position at the hospital. \u00a0As soon as the hand washing was suspended, the death rate of the women returned to where it was before, almost 30% of all patients. \u00a0\u00a0 One in three of the thousands of women per year who came to the physicians ward \u00a0died \u00a0within \u00a0days \u00a0after \u00a0a \u00a0normal \u00a0child \u00a0birth \u00a0experience. \u00a0 \u00a0 To \u00a0the \u00a0hospital administrators, this was the natural order of things; to Dr. Semmelweis, this was murder.<\/p>\n

There will always be doctors who want to heal people and be innovative, but, there are also those who are more interested in making a secure position for themselves using power, politics and profit in medicine.\u00a0\u00a0 One of Semmelweis\u2019 disciples explained how he saw the situation. \u00a0\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s true of your discovery as it has been of every discovery in the whole history of medicine. \u00a0 \u00a0 Every time a man has come forward with a demonstrable truth, a remedy for good, the profession seems to have done its best to crush the discoverer and hide the discovery. \u00a0\u00a0 No quackery \u2013 no criminality \u2013 nothing seems to make us so furious as a discovery.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Finally Semmelweis was also stripped of his teaching position at the university and was \u00a0blocked from \u00a0private practice where he \u00a0could \u00a0use \u00a0and \u00a0teach \u00a0students to \u00a0use \u00a0his methods. \u00a0\u00a0 Running out of money he returned to Hungary and worked in a very small clinic where the death rate from childbirth fever dropped to zero.\u00a0\u00a0 He published papers around the world and the journal editors added footnotes to the effect that \u201cEveryone knows the cause of childbirth fever is – – – and they would add in whatever their pet theory was. \u00a0\u00a0 He then wrote a book on his work, but those that needed it most never read it, because it was a new theory and they were in a profession that respected the old tried and true methods.\u00a0\u00a0 Semmelweis died in obscurity in Hungary at the age of about fifty.\u00a0\u00a0 He was put in an institution because he lost his mental stability due to, seemingly intelligent doctors who denied his conclusion. \u00a0It took 40 years before hand-washing was taught and accepted by the profession. The work he pioneered has saved untold millions of lives.<\/p>\n

Other comments from the medical professionals;<\/span><\/p>\n

What? Yellow fever could be transmitted by mosquitoes? \u00a0\u00a0 What a ridiculous idea. \u00a0\u00a0 Just like thinking that embryonic stem-cell research might hold life-saving potential.\u00a0\u00a0 Or that global warming is any more than a liberal myth. \u00a0\u00a0 Or that Anton von Leeuwenhoek could actually see tiny creature in a drop of pond water when he looked through his new gimmick, the microscope. \u00a0\u00a0 Or that Galileo, peering through a homemade cardboard tube, could say the earth is not, after all, the center of the universe. \u00a0\u00a0 Or that it might be possible to put a person to sleep so deeply that he would not feel the amputation of his leg. \u00a0Pure silliness. How can right-thinking persons believe such stuff?<\/p>\n

The Twentieth Century has proven to be no exception to this pattern. \u00a0 Large portions of the American Southeast were decimated by the dread disease pellagra. \u00a0\u00a0 The well-known physician Sir William Osler, in his Principles and Practice of Medicine, explained that in one institution for the insane in Leonard, North Carolina, one-third of the inmates died of this disease during the winter months. \u00a0\u00a0 This proved he said, that pellagra was contagious and caused probably by an as yet undiscovered virus. \u00a0\u00a0 As far back as 1914, however, Dr. Joseph Goldberger had proven that this condition was related to diet, and later showed that it could be prevented simply by eating liver or yeast.\u00a0\u00a0 But it wasn\u2019t until the 1940\u2019s \u2013 almost thirty years later \u2013 that the \u00a0\u201cmodern\u201d medical world fully accepted pellagra as a vitamin B deficiency.\u00a0\u00a0 The story behind pernicious anemia is almost exactly the same. \u00a0The reason that all these diseases were so reluctantly accepted as vitamin deficiencies is because men tend to look \u00a0for \u00a0positive \u00a0cause-and-effect \u00a0relationships \u00a0in \u00a0 which \u00a0something \u00a0clearly \u00a0caused something else. \u00a0 \u00a0 They find it more difficult to comprehend the negative relationship in which nothing or the lack of something can cause an effect.\u00a0\u00a0 But perhaps of even more importance is the reality of intellectual pride. \u00a0\u00a0 A man who has spent his lifetime acquiring scientific knowledge far beyond the grasp of his fellow human beings is not usually inclined to listen with patience to someone who lacks that knowledge \u2013 especially if that person suggests that the solution to the scientist\u2019s most\u00a0puzzling medical problem is to be found in a simple near-primitive concoction of herbs and foods. \u00a0\u00a0 The scientist is trained to search for complex answers and tends to look with smug amusement upon solutions that are not dependent upon his hard earned skills.\u00a0\u00a0 To bring this a little closer to home, the average M.D. today has spent over ten years of\u00a0 intensive training to learn about health and disease.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This educational process continues for as long as he practices his art. \u00a0\u00a0 The greatest challenge to the medical profession today is cancer. \u00a0\u00a0 If the solution to the cancer puzzle were to be found in the simple foods we eat (or don\u2019t eat), then what other diseases might also be traced to this cause? \u00a0The implications are explosive. \u00a0\u00a0 As one doctor put it, \u201cMost of my medical training has been wasted. \u00a0I\u2019ve learned the wrong things!\u201d \u00a0 And nobody wants to discover that they have learned \u2013 or taught \u2013 the wrong things. \u00a0\u00a0 Hence, there is an unconscious but quite natural tendency among many scientists and physicians to reject the vitamin deficiency concept of all such diseases until it is proven, and proven, and proven again.<\/p>\n

The Western (Traditional) Doctor:<\/span><\/p>\n

Put yourself in your doctor\u2019s shoes. \u00a0\u00a0 He or she was trained in a medical school where the \u00a0pharmaceutical \u00a0companies, \u00a0for \u00a0the \u00a0most \u00a0part, \u00a0determine \u00a0the \u00a0curriculum. \u00a0\u00a0 The pharmaceutical companies provide most of the research and grant money. \u00a0\u00a0 They provide many of the books, C.D.s and study materials, at little or no cost to the student.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Conventional medicine is taught with a focus on treating the symptoms of a disease with synthetic drugs and surgery, but they are rarely taught to treat the underlying causes of the disease.\u00a0\u00a0 Once the doctor is in practice, the pharmaceutical company representatives show up regularly, leaving free samples of drugs and brochures promoting the benefits of their products. \u00a0\u00a0 As the doctor begins to specialize their focus is more narrowly defined and trying to \u00a0keep \u00a0up \u00a0with \u00a0the \u00a0current information on \u00a0research and \u00a0studies, \u00a0even \u00a0in \u00a0their \u00a0own specialty is virtually impossible because of the demands of patient care on their time.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So they rely \u00a0on \u00a0the \u00a0information from the \u00a0pharmaceutical salespersons. \u00a0 Almost all \u00a0of \u00a0the continuing education comes from seminars sponsored by the pharmaceutical companies.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The average doctor receives two clock hours (not credit hours) on nutrition and preventive medicine.\u00a0\u00a0 The \u00a0doctor is \u00a0under extreme pressure to \u00a0keep patient face-to-face time to \u00a0a \u00a0bare minimum. \u00a0\u00a0 One study showed that the average patient spends only two minutes with the doctor during each visit.\u00a0\u00a0 The traditional doctor sees numerous patients per day.\u00a0 Once you receive a diagnosis you will be referred to an Oncologist. \u00a0\u00a0 This is a doctor trained in the specialty of cancer treatment. \u00a0 Traditional medicine has three standard treatment methods for cancer; surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. \u00a0 With only minor changes, this is the same treatment protocol that was used 50 years ago. \u00a0 The National Cancer Institute (NCI) revealed that there has been no substantial improvement in cancer cure rates over the last several decades. \u00a0However, even with such cures, there is a high incidence of delayed, or secondary, cancers due to the carcinogenic effects of the treatments themselves. \u00a0\u00a0 The focus of treatment is on attacking the cancer \u2013 BUT \u2013 the big question is how did the cancer start in the first place? \u00a0\u00a0 And what can we do now to restore that health?<\/p>\n

In summary:<\/span><\/p>\n

Your doctor was trained in schools where the curriculum is determined by the drug companies. \u00a0The doctor received free books, equipment and other gifts from the drug companies throughout his education. \u00a0Once the doctor graduates the drug companies give them free \u00a0samples, free \u00a0dinners and \u00a0free \u00a0vacation trips where they discuss new pharmaceutical products. \u00a0\u00a0 This is called continuing education which is required to renew and maintain the doctor\u2019s medical license. \u00a0 \u00a0 There is little incentive for doctors to learn alternative care methods and in fact it is discouraged by the political powers that run the various medical groups and associations.<\/p>\n

Over the past 70 years, hundreds of successful treatments for cancer have been discovered and used successfully. \u00a0Would it surprise you to know that every one of these is currently on the \u201cUnproven Remedies\u201d list maintained by the American Cancer Society (ACS)?\u00a0\u00a0 Dr. Linus Pauling, the only person to ever win two individual Nobel Prizes,\u00a0 has done research on vitamin C and cholesterol, and their role in preventing heart attacks and cancer and his research has been suppressed since 1989.\u00a0\u00a0 Doesn\u2019t \u00a0it \u00a0seem \u00a0logical \u00a0that \u00a0at \u00a0least \u00a0one of \u00a0these \u00a0treatments \u00a0would \u00a0have \u00a0been thoroughly researched and investigated and found to have some use for at least some cancer sufferers? \u00a0 Isn\u2019t it mind-boggling that every single one \u00a0is still labeled \u201cunproven,\u201d\u00a0 in spite of the lapse of decades since their discovery?\u00a0 What do all these treatments have in common? \u00a0\u00a0 They all contain natural products, not synthetic substances. \u00a0\u00a0 For the most part they are very inexpensive, have few if any side- effects and generally have no patents. \u00a0 \u00a0 Because natural products cannot be patented, anyone can sell them, this keeps the cost down. \u00a0\u00a0 The pharmaceutical companies, on the other hand, \u00a0 are interested in synthetic products which they can patent and have the exclusive rights to sell. \u00a0\u00a0 This allows them to make tremendous profits, and it allows them to pay the average of $210,000,000 per drug for research and the approval processes. \u00a0 \u00a0 This process \u00a0(by \u00a0design) \u00a0effectively \u00a0shuts \u00a0out \u00a0the \u00a0inexpensive, \u00a0natural \u00a0products \u00a0from \u00a0the approval \u00a0 process \u00a0 which \u00a0 benefits \u00a0 the \u00a0 pharmaceutical \u00a0 companies \u00a0 by \u00a0 limiting \u00a0 their competition. \u00a0 Many of these natural products have been used successfully for hundreds, even thousands of years.\u00a0 \u00a0 Most of them are currently being used, successfully, in many other countries around the world.\u00a0\u00a0 The reality is a low cost, effective cancer treatment would have a devastating economic effect on the multi-billion dollar medical industry.<\/p>\n

What are your options? \u00a0 The Eastern (natural) medicine practitioner comes from a tradition of observing nature and balancing the elements that create homeostasis (balance in the body). \u00a0 This ancient tradition dates back 5,000 years and is the oldest, literate, continuously practiced form of medicine in the world.\u00a0\u00a0 The practitioner starts the process by taking an in-depth medical history and looking for any causes of imbalance such as disease, physical injury, diet, lifestyle, mental or emotional stress. \u00a0\u00a0 They will generally make recommendations to cleanse and detoxify the body, modify the diet, compensate for any vitamin and\/or mineral deficiencies, balance the pH, electrolyte and hormone levels, recommend suitable exercise programs which may include stress reduction activities. \u00a0\u00a0 Then using natural products to strengthen the immune system which allows the body to naturally cleanse and clear out disease at the cellular level.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The role of this practitioner is one as teacher, adviser, and confidant in developing a health program specifically designed for you. \u00a0\u00a0 In eastern medicine the focus is on the person, not on the disease.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A disease process is simply a symptom that appears when there is a weakness or imbalance in the body. \u00a0In Eastern medicine the focus is on bringing the body back into balance thereby allowing the body to heal itself. \u00a0\u00a0 The focus is not on eliminating sickness and ill-health, but on healing and building vibrant health. \u00a0 It is important to understand that everybody has cancer cells which you have had all your life. \u00a0 In a state of homeostasis the immune system detects and destroys these mutated cells. \u00a0\u00a0 At some point, often after years of smoking and\/or poor diet and lifestyle, the body receives a toxic overload or some other insult which weakens the immune system and allows the cancer cells to grow.<\/p>\n
