Post again for new members: Dr mattias Rath M.D. about medicine and its policies

[Guest guest]

The lecture is great, but was cut off before the finish. Couly you attach the

whole thing instead?

 

Namaste, Liz

[Guest guest]

Lecture of Dr. Matthias Rath, M.D.

 

In Augsburg-Gersthofen March 1999

 

I would like to begin this lecture with the historic

parallel of the Italian physic Galileo Galilei. When

Galileo was born in 1564, the sun still turned around the

earth. When he died, in 1642, things were the

other way round. Now the earth turned around the sun. Did

the stars change their course during these

eighty years? Certainly not. What had changed was the way

the people of this little planet earth looked

at the universe, and understood the course of the stars and

the workings of this universe. That had

changed. So was this great universal conversion greeted

everywhere? Not only was it not greeted, but it

was fought against, to the death. They threatened to torture

Galileo Galilei if he did not recant his claim.

And Galileo died a heretic, banished by the church. Why?

Well, because this was not about the stars in

the sky, but about the fear of those who were in power of

losing the hold they had over people.

 

The earth is a disc and lies in the centre of the universe.

The stars in the heavens are attached to seven

crystal domes. The sun circles the earth and in the centre

of the earth is Rome. This was the point from

which the Roman Church ruled the entire earth and the

universe. Galileo was declared a heretic

because his knowledge shook the global positions of power of

these Roman interest groups to their

foundations.

 

My lecture today takes place in a suburb of Augsburg.

Augsburg is also the birthplace of German writer

Berthold Brecht. One of his most well-known plays is about

Galileo Galilei's fight. When you have the

time, read this piece of world literature or see the play in

the theatre some time. Many of the quotes

also concern our case. For instance, Galileo says: " Who does

not know the truth, is simply a fool. Yet

who knows the truth and calls it a lie, is a criminal. " In

the course of this lecture we will meet such

people of our time. Politicians and business people who are

very much aware of the truth, but

nevertheless call it a lie and want to prohibit it.

 

But first the facts. It is less than a year ago that the

AOK, one of the biggest health insurance

companies in Germany, published the following article in

their periodical of April 1998: " According to the

German Ministry of Health there are some 24,000 medications

on the market of which no therapeutic

efficiency, so healing properties, have been proven. 24,000

medications, that is over 98% of all currently

marketed medicines. These are prescribed, sold and taken by

the millions but they have no proven

effect. Yet the National Health Service has to pay for

them. " The situation is no different in Holland,

Britain, France and other European countries.

 

A second fact you should remember is a notification by the

Journal of the American Medical

Association of April 15th, 1998: It was established by an

extensive study that the side effects of

medication are now the fourth largest cause of death in the

industrial world, after heart infarction, stroke

and cancer. According to data of the German Medical

Association of April 18th, 1998, each year 8.000

people in Germany die of the serious side effects of

medication and over 100,000 fall seriously ill. Let

me recap: only one thing has been proven of 98% of currently

world-wide available pharmaceutical

preparations: that the serious side effects of these pills

cause new diseases with epidemic proportions,

that are the fourth largest cause of death after heart

infarction, stroke and cancer.

 

Now I have told you everything you really need to know.

That's it. Have a good night and goodbye.

 

 

I see you would like to hear a bit more. To hide their

irresponsible practices the pharmaceutical industry

and its accomplices create new medical jargon: there was an

article in the Munich Medical Journal of

February 25th, 1999, with the title " Multimorbidity and

Polypharmacy as cause of pathological

confusion. " Let me translate that for you. Multimorbidity,

that is when a person suffers from several

diseases at the same time. Polypharmacy, I had never heard

of it but it frightened the life out of me.

There is now a diagnostic term for diseases that are caused

by taking too much medication; " poly "

means much and " pharmacy " means pharmaceutical preparations.

In other words, when you take too

much medication you can get a disease that now has its own

diagnostic term: " polypharmacy " . The

crime is hidden behind a Greek pseudonym.

 

The following millionfold tragedy is characteristic of our

health system at the end of the twentieth

century: people get insufficient vitamins, enabling a number

of chronic diseases to develop. They are

then given medication, which, at best, will diminish the

symptoms, but will most of all create new,

serious diseases. And then scientific articles are written

about " multimorbidity in case of polypharmacy "

and these are published in medical periodicals. The Munich

Medical Journal is no city newspaper but

one of the largest medical journals in Europe.

 

I like to stick to the facts. That is why I will give you

some numbers of the Wiesbaden Institute of

Statistics, on causes of death in our time: over half the

number of deaths are caused by heart

infarctions and strokes. Second largest cause of death is

cancer, followed by lung diseases,

gastrointestinal diseases, accidents, etc. What is not

mentioned in this official chart is the fourth largest

cause of death: polypharmacy – death caused by dangerous

side effects of largely ineffective

medication.

 

We not only wish to expose the unbearable wrongs, but would

most of all like to offer alternatives.

Those who have read my book " Why animals don't get heart

attacks – but people do " will be aware of

the progresses made by Cellular Medicine in the fight

against heart infarctions and other common

diseases. For those unfamiliar with the book I will give a

short introduction: what is Cellular Medicine?

Diseases in our bodies originate in the cells. So the first

basic rule is, health and disease of the body

are decided on the level of the millions of body cells that

constitute our organs. The second basic rule, a

chronic lack of vitamins and other bio-energy factors is the

most common cause of cell malfunction and

therefore of diseases. Third rule, cardiovascular problems

are by far the most common diseases

because the cells of the heart muscle and the arterial walls

haven an especially high consumption of

bio-energy, because of the constant mechanical functioning

of heartbeat and pulse. All this is obvious;

the heart is the engine of the body. You can compare this to

the engine in your car, which constantly

needs gasoline and oil. Finally the fourth fundamental rule

of Cellular Medicine, an optimum daily care

with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, trace elements is the

key to the prevention of cardiovascular

problems and many other diseases. The key word is: bio-fuel

for the cells. The most important bio-fuel

substances known to science today, that can be taken in

through food or nutritional supplements, are

vitamins, minerals, amino acids, trace elements. The

foundations of Cellular Medicine are that simple.

Do you understand?

 

I have brought you something tonight, our new book " Good

health is possible! " As opposed to my first

book, this book was written by the patients themselves. We

just summarised it and are now passing on

their experiences to you. Read it, form your own picture of

it. At the end of the book I have written the

following comment on the effects of these testimonials on

the reader: when you have reached this part

of the book there are only two possibilities left. The first

is to say, this Dr. Rath made it all up. Or, you

will have been convinced by these testimonials, in which

case the inevitable question will be: " Why

haven't I heard of this before? " And I will answer this

question for you.

 

First of all it is important to understand that " Good health

is possible! " is not just the title of the book, it

is a reality. When you have read the book you will agree

with me that this is the beginning of a new era

in which we no longer need to fear many of the common

diseases. We can control them. Finally, " Good

health is possible! " is comprehensible for everyone because

the patients themselves are speaking. This

is also important for our success; to explain the results we

have made in an understandable way.

 

There is an historical parallel for this as well. In

Brecht's play Galilei the Inquisitor General says: " This

evil man knows very well what he is doing when he writes

down his theories in the language of the

peddlers and fishmongers, instead of in Latin. " In those

days it was already recognised how dangerous

it would be if common people would understand those things

that only a select group should know of.

When the people have the knowledge, they can no longer be

fooled. They can no longer be sucked dry.

They will refuse to play the game any longer. This is why

you will find all our information material written

in a language everyone can understand.

 

I had planned to given you an overview of the results made

by Cellular Medicine. However, I do not have

the time to go into details. I will have to ask you to read

the books and the background information

carefully. I would now like to discuss with you

cardiovascular diseases, then in the second part virus

and cancer diseases and finally I will tell you about the

forces that block this medical breakthrough and

consciously put the health and lives of millions of people

on the line.

 

The first big breakthrough of Cellular Medicine was in the

fight against arteriosclerosis, the cause of

heart infarctions and strokes. Today over five hundred

million people world-wide suffer from

arteriosclerosis and the disease keeps spreading. So you

tell me, how can a disease keep on

spreading? Because contemporary medical science does not

recognise the true causes, or refuses to

recognise them. This is why to date orthodox medicine does

not know of an effective, preventive

therapy. The only thing modern medicine does is cure the

symptoms and repair the blocking of the

arteries mechanically. They give you a bypass. What does

that mean? It means that they work around

the problem, instead of tackling it at the roots. Or the

other mechanical reparation method,

percutaneous angioplasty. The depositions in the coronary

arteries are pushed flat against the artery's

inner wall by a balloon that is blown up under high

pressure. Mechanical plumbing, while the doctors are

well aware that this does not treat the cause of the

problem.

 

So what is the cause? A vitamin shortage in the cells of the

arterial wall. These cells move with every

heartbeat, meaning that the wall is stretched out seventy,

eighty times a minute. And so it is obvious

that these cells have a high consumption of bio-fuel,

especially vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene,

lysine, proline and amino acids. If you supply the cells of

the arterial wall with this bio-fuel, the arterial

wall will stabilise and you will prevent damage and the

resulting depositions.

 

Moreover, they can repair an already existing disease. A

utopian dream? No. those of you who have

read my book will know that we have conducted a research to

prove this directly with images of the

arterial walls. The Ultrafast Computer Tomogram, also known

as a mammogram of the heart, is a

diagnostic technique that was developed recently in the USA.

We were the first to use it for research

purposes. With the help of this Ultrafast Computer Tomogram

you can sort of look into the heart from

the outside and measure the depositions in the coronary

arteries with pictures that are taken within

milliseconds. Our research involved patients who already had

a cardiovascular disease and would

therefore have depositions in the coronary arteries. I am

not going into this whole research. You can find

it documented completely in my book " Why animals don't get

heart attacks. "

 

I would now like to show you one of the impressive pictures

we came across during this research. On

the left side you can see a heart, a cross section of one

side of the heart. This white spot, which is

enlarged here, shows depositions in the left coronary

artery. On the right the same patient, the same

part of the heart, a picture of the coronary artery after

one year of taking the vitamin programme. The

depositions have disappeared, completely. Did this man have

a bypass operation? Did they push the

depositions away with angioplasty? No, the cells of the

arterial walls were supplied with vitamins and

other bio-fuel substances, and all of a sudden they could

function normally again.

 

The disappearance of the depositions as we see it in this

picture has never before been possible with

any medication or with any kind of therapy, diet or other

measure. For the first time in the history of

medicine, with the help of vitamins. Does that surprise us?

Certainly not. What other way could there

be? Even the sailors, when they did not get any vitamins,

especially vitamin C, died of what? Of scurvy.

The arterial wall has weakened and starts to tear, the

sailors bled to death. So five hundred years ago

the connection between a vitamin shortage and damage to the

arteries was already clear. And still I

have to stand here, before inquisitive people like you who

are now wondering why you never hear about

this on the evening news.

 

About a year ago, in April 1998, a German television

programme had a feature about our work. They

broadcast an interview with Lew Meyer, one of our research

patients, whose depositions had

disappeared completely with the help of our vitamin

programme. Before the cameras Lew Meyer said:

" You know, after one year I came for my check-up and the

researchers did not believe what they saw on

the x-rays. This had never happened, that depositions that

had been clearly visible before had simply

vanished. They asked me to come back the next day, as they

thought it was a technical error. But the

results were the same. Now everyone believed it. "

But Mr. Meyer's case is not unique. On page 47 in " Good

health in possible! " you will find the following

testimonial of a cardiac patient on our vitamin programme:

" Already after four weeks my general

condition had improved. For the check-up I had an

angioplasty examination. The diagnosis was that

since the start of the vitamin programme the depositions in

the coronary arteries are diminishing. " The

patient sent us his x-rays as proof of the results. Reality.

And from this moment on all cardiac patients

can make use of this knowledge.

 

The second common disease that has spread world-wide is high

blood pressure disease. This disease

also keeps on spreading. Why? Because that is what they

want, the people who make billions on this

disease. This is probably the reason why medical science

does not want to know the causes, ways of

prevention and methods of treatment of this disease. Let me

describe a scene to you that takes place in

doctors' offices around the globe every day. Some of you

will recognise themselves as the victims: your

face has turned red, you feel a slight pressure on your

chest and you go to your GP. He measures your

blood pressure and says, " dear mister so-and-so, you have

high blood pressure, but not to worry, I will

prescribe you something. " He gives you a prescription and

you go back home. At home your wife is all

excited and asks, " Well, what did the doctor say? " And

proudly you reply: " I have essential

hypertension. This guy is good; no one has described it this

precise before. " Unfortunately, neither you

nor your wife know what " essential " means in this case.

Before I give you the answer, let us see what

medical textbooks have to say about the causes of high blood

pressure: " in 90% of the cases the cause

of high blood pressure is unknown, " it says. And your GP

knows this too, who gave you the

prescription.

 

What does " essential hypertension " mean? " Hypertension " you

can look up in the dictionary, it means

high blood pressure. " Essential " you will have to look up in

the dictionary of secret language. It means:

" we don't know where it came from. " So you have a " we don't

know what causes it high blood pressure "

disease. And only the doctor knows this. And you think,

" gee, what an excellent diagnosis, this is such

a good doctor, I'll go and see him again " . You understand

how the game is played?

 

But then what is the true cause of high blood pressure? In

90% of the cases the cause of high blood

pressure is a lack of vitamins in the arterial walls,

especially of vitamin C, but also of the amino acid

arginine, magnesium and co-enzyme Q10. When the artery wall,

which consists of muscle cells, has an

insufficient supply of vitamins, minerals and amino acids,

it starts to contract. When the circular shaped

muscles of the blood vessels contract, what happens to the

diameter? It gets smaller, and what about

the pressure? It rises. There, you now understand the cause

of high blood pressure. A plumber, working

with drainage systems every day, understands the cause of

high blood pressure instantly – without a

white coat.

 

But you take your doctor's prescription to the chemist's and

get your medication: a beta-blocker. What

does a beta-blocker do? It has no effect on the site of the

actual problem, the tension of the blood

vessels. Instead it affects a spot that has nothing to do

with the problem: the heart muscle. A

beta-blocker decreases the heart frequency, the number of

beats of the heart pump. Instead of relaxing

the arterial walls and tackling the problem at the roots,

this medicine lowers your heart frequency to

lower the pressure. And what happens to the patients? The

circulation is turned down, especially in the

brain, to such a point that many patients fall over after

taking their beta-blocker. In elderly patients

especially we find that dizziness and fainting are the most

common side effects.

 

You understand how the principle works? People do not want

to know what the cause is. And they do

not tell you that they do not know. They make up a pseudonym

to hide the fact that they do not know,

" essential hypertension " . They prescribe a medication that

consciously avoids to deal with the real

problem on the spot where it originates. They give you

pharmaceutical pills that affect a totally different

area. This way they can be sure that the high blood pressure

disease will continue to exist. Why do

such a thing? To keep a billion pound market in

pharmaceutical preparations for high blood pressure

disease alive and kicking, and to expand it.

 

What do you think of this letter from a patient with high

blood pressure, from the book " Good health is

possible! " : I have suffered from hypertension for 20 years.

Four months ago I started on you Cellular

Medicine Formulae. After only four weeks the blood pressure

went down. You can see the positive

development for yourself on the enclosed diagram. " The

patient has enclosed his blood pressure results

over the past four months. At the beginning of July the

first, systolic pressure was at 200; in September,

two months later, it was at 150. The patient also mentions:

" My doctor has confirmed the improvement

and has taken me off the blood pressure pills. "

 

This is a leitmotiv is all the testimonials in this book.

People start taking our vitamin programme, and

their condition improves. They are taken off the medication

that was prescribed to them, and their

condition improves even more. So what does that tell us? It

shows us that the medication itself had

become a problem for the health of these patients. But I

have to make it very clear: never stop taking

your medication, whether it is against high blood pressure,

or anti-arrhythmia pills or some other

medication. Go to you doctor and say, I feel better, I would

like you to examine me. Measure my blood

pressure, check the ECG. A responsible doctor will do this

and will reduce your medication accordingly.

 

The last disease in which Cellular Medicine has made a

breakthrough is heart insufficiency. One of the

most tragic diseases, and with a very bad prognosis. When

you are diagnosed with heart insufficiency

today, you will have a 50% chance to still be alive in five

years time. In other words, one in two heart

insufficiency patients will die within five years. This

disease also keeps on spreading world-wide. And

again the main cause is that orthodox medicine does not know

or want to know the causes, does not

know of a preventive therapy, and does not know of a healing

therapy. It is therefore not surprising that

orthodox medicine came up with heart transplants as the

therapy for heart weakness. This is nothing

else but the bankruptcy of medicine – you do not know what

else to do, so you just replace the entire

organ. But this brutal therapy will only do you good if you

are lucky and they find you a suitable donor

heart. In 95% of these cases the patients die a slow and

terrible death.

 

Every day, in every country on earth, it is the same

tragedy. All of a sudden you cannot climb the stairs

anymore. Up until now you could walk up to your son or

daughter on the fourth floor without having to

stop underway, but now you cannot do that. You reach the

second floor with breathing difficulties and

have to halt to get your breath back. In the evenings your

legs are swollen as fluid accumulates in the

tissues. You see the doctor and he tells you you have heart

weakness. You get a prescription, a

diuretic drug, and the doctor tells you that when you take

this you will feel better.

 

You go home, the wife asks what the doctor said. You pull

out the prescription and say: " I have an

idiopathic cardiomyopathy. This must be a very good doctor,

when he can make such exact

diagnoses. " Again you are mistaken. You can look up

" cardiomyopathy " in the dictionary: " cardio " is

heart, " myo " is muscle and " pathy " is disease. So you have a

disease of the heart muscle. The word

" idiopathic " you have to look up in the secret languages

dictionary again. It means " we do not know

what causes it " . This time it is in Greek. You cannot always

use the word " essential " , people are going

to notice.

 

You find this funny? I know that there are doctors among

this audience of 800 tonight. Feel free to

speak up and correct me in this. (pause)

 

I see no one who contradicts me. And it is true: the only

ones who know how this game is played, apart

from the pharmaceutical industry, are the physicians. Only

they do not talk about it.

 

So what is the cause of heart insufficiency? The cause of

this common disease is so simple that I can

explain it to you in 20 seconds. The heart pumps 80 beats a

minute, so the heart muscle cells contract

80 times a minute. Every time they contract, the cells use

up bio-fuel, like the engine of your car needs

energy in the form of gasoline. If the bio-energy for the

heart muscle cells is insufficiently supplied in the

form of vitamins and other bio-fuel, they will only perform

half as good as normal. This is the cause of

heart weakness. Do you understand it? And this was only 15

seconds.

 

Let us go back to our example. You go to the chemist's and

get your medication, the diuretics. These

will cause the body to excrete the fluids. But what else

will be excreted? Everything that can be solved

in these fluids, especially water-soluble vitamins,

minerals, amino acids and other bio-fuel. This will only

add to the basic cause of the heart weakness, the lack of

vitamins. And now you understand why five

years after the disease is diagnosed only half the patients

are still alive – the other half was killed by an

insufficient therapy. Naturally, heart weakness patients who

have fluids accumulating in the tissues

should take diuretics for a certain period of time. But at

the same time the main cause of the disease

should be tackled: the shortage of vitamins and bio-fuel in

the heart muscle cells. Let me make it

perfectly clear: any doctor who only prescribes a heart

insufficiency patient diuretics without pointing out

that the patient will need nutritional supplements daily,

commits professional misconduct!

 

Two weeks ago, at the end of a lecture, a woman came up to

me, shook my hand and gave me a letter.

This is what it said: " Since the beginning of the sixties I

have suffered from a very high blood pressure

and from heart weakness. The accumulation of water and the

breathlessness are especially exhausting.

I also suffer from limited vision and can only see things

that are straight in front of me. I get a

disablement benefit. In November 1998 I started taking your

Cellular Medicine formulae. Now I have a

normal vision. I have no more headaches or pains in my legs,

so I no longer need support stockings.

 

And I can sleep lying down in my bed, instead of having to

sleep sitting up because of the

breathlessness. " What does this lady mean? When patients

with heart weakness lie down at night,

their lungs fill up with fluids. To be able to breathe at

all they have to sit up in bed, and will fall asleep

eventually from exhaustion. With the help of Cellular

Medicine this woman can sleep normally again.

This patient herself describes it as a miracle. But it is

not a miracle, these are scientific facts. When

you walk out of here tonight and say, that Dr. Rath is a

medical miracle worker, then you have not

understood what we are talking about. The health successes

of these patients and the progresses of

Cellular Medicine are applied science and logical thinking.

Everyone can understand Cellular Medicine

and everyone can apply it.

 

This patient's letter ends with the words: " I know that many

people doubt the authenticity of these

testimonials, as no addresses or telephone numbers are

mentioned, so I hereby permit you to publish

my telephone number. "

 

Another impressive example is that of Joey, a patient from

Memphis, Tennessee. Joey used to be a

flight attendant. When she was 21 she suddenly became very

ill and an acute heart muscle weakness

was diagnosed. She had her first heart transplant. Four

years later, as she was 25, the second heart

was already so weak that the doctors advised a second

transplant. So at age 25 she was to get her

third heart. Then Joey accidentally got her hands on my book

" Why animals don't get heart attacks "

and she started taking the vitamin preparations. After a few

months her condition had improved to such

an extent that the heart transplant could be cancelled.

Together with Joey I held a lecture in a hospital

in Memphis. She told her story. The people that were there,

including the doctors wept openly. Those

were tears of joy for Joey, but also an expression of

sadness regarding a medical science that is kept in

a dead end street by the pharmaceutical industry.

 

Another common disease in which Cellular Medicine made a

decisive breakthrough is arrhythmia. This
