Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 Thursday, April 04, 2002 9:30 PM Dr. Hulda Clark - Cancer can now be cured! - http://www.drclark.net/cancer/canc_frame.htm - The Cause For many years we have all believed that cancer is different from other diseases. We believed that cancer behaves like a fire, in that you can't stop it once it has started. Therefore, you have to cut it out or radiate it to death or chemically destroy every cancerous cell in the body since it can never become normal again. NOTHING COULD BE MORE WRONG! And we have believed that cancers of different types such as leukemia or breast cancer have different causes. wrong again! In this book you will see that all cancers are alike. They are all caused by a parasite. A single parasite! It is the human intestinal fluke. And if you kill this parasite, the cancer stops immediately. The tissue becomes normal again. In order to get cancer, you must have this parasite. How can the human intestinal fluke cause cancer? This parasite typically lives in the intestine where it might do little harm, causing only colitis, Crohn's disease, or irritable bowel syndrome, or perhaps nothing at all. But if it invades a different organ, like the uterus or the kidneys or liver, it does a great deal of harm. If it establishes itself in the liver, it causes cancer! It only establishes itself in the liver in some people. These people have isopropyl alcohol in their bodies. All cancer patients have both isopropyl alcohol and the intestinal fluke in their livers. The solvent, isopropyl alcohol, is responsible for letting the fluke establish itself in the liver. In order to get cancer, you must have both the parasite and isopropyl alcohol in your body.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 Hi there! Claims such as yours may be founded, but how are we to know? The same can be said of mainstream medical professionals, who do make a very good living. People do deserve to live well, if making a significant contribution. Let people know your evidence, and we can then pay attention to your concern.

She basically says all disease has the same cause .Use her zappers and you will get well. If that were only remotely true, no one could hide the fact. It would spread like wildfire. no advertising needed,and everyone would get well by simply word of mouth knowledge. The established medical/naturopathic interests couldn't hold something that simple from being well known if it was the cause of ALL cancers, Aids, diabetis, etc.. I don't see that it is my place to disprove hulda clarkes cures. I think it would be her, or her spokepeole's place to prove that they do work. If something this simple worked it could be easily proven by virtually anyone including most laypeople. Clarke and her operation have all the earmarks to me of fraud, although that is my personal opinion. When I read one of her books, my impression of it was that this person doesn't have a clue about what she is talking about. If fact if it were not for the sad state of who she were exploiting she would be laughable. attached below is just one opinion on her, given by the founder of Bayster university (completely naturopathic). I don't know of one any serious name in natural healing who would consider her or her claims seriously. And yes, I do think that natural methods have great promise to help cure cancer and many other diseases, but claims like her's just make all seriouse attempts to bring natural methods to the fore look bad by association and end up being lumped with these type claims by the public at large. Below is a statment filed in court. There have been others, but here is one. It is by one of the top spokemen FOR natural nutritional methods. respectfully, Frank Evaluation by Dr. Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D. May 8,2001 Introduction Michael Milgrom and Brinley Williams of the Federal Trade Commission have requested I review the validity of claims made by Western Herb & Dietary Products, Inc. (WHD) of Blaine, Washington. Following are my qualifications, description of my process and review of the claims made by WHD. My Qualifications I am widely recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on science-based natural medicine. My formal education includes a B.S. in Chemistry in 1969 from Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, CA and an N.D. (Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine) degree in 1975 from National College of Naturopathic Medicine, now located in Portland, OR. I have been licensed (#NT00000369) as a naturopathic physician, with prescriptive authority, in Washington State since 1975. As the founding president, now president emeritus, of Bastyr University, the first fully accredited, multidisciplinary university of natural medicine in the United States, I have been very active in the academic and research advancement of natural medicine. As senior editor of the Textbook of Natural Medicine (Churchill-Livingstone 1999) the most authoritative textbook on natural medicine currently available, I have helped set the standard for alternative medicine education. Over the years, I have taught naturopathic philosophy, clinical diagnosis, nutrition, environmental medicine, and integrative therapeutics, and supervised students in the Bastyr University teaching clinic. I have significant experience in public health and health care policy. I have been a member of the Seattle/King County Board of Health since 1996 (as far as I know, I am the first natural medicine practitioner ever to have received such an appointment), chair of the special primary interest group in alternative medicine of the American Public Health Association since 1999, and appointed in December 2000 by the President to the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy. In October 2000, 1 was an invited participant in the Josiah Macy, Jr., Foundation Conference on Education of Health Professionals on Complementary and Alternative Medicine. The conference generated a consensus recommendation on complementary and alternative medicine education in conventional medical schools. I have provided expert consultation on natural medicine education and research to governmental agencies internationally, including Argentina, Canada, China, Great Britain, Japan, and Taiwan. Scope of Work/Process Over the past several weeks, I have performed the following: Reviewed the WHD website Reviewed the WHD claims and theories Reviewed documentation of claims and theories Reviewed the four Hulda Clark books: The Cure for All Cancers The Cure for All Advanced Cancers The Cure for All Diseases The Cure for HIV and AIDS Consulted several credible conventional and alternative medicine textbooks Consulted cancer and HIV/AIDS experts Conducted several MedLine and other database searches. I believe this process has resulted in my undertanding the WHD claims, the quality and validity of the substantiation they provided and the current standards of evidence required for the claims they made. To substantiate a cure, I utilized the following criteria: The condition must first be accurately demonstrated to exist, using objective reproducible diagnostic standards. The methodologies utilized to make the diagnosis must be documented. The therapeutic approach should have a sound theoretical basis, validated by supportive research published in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. If no theoretical basis, then it must have at least proven clinical efficacy or a long history of traditional use. The identification and quality of the therapies must be demonstrated. The patient must be objectively demonstrated to be free of the disease. The methodologies utilized to demonstrate cure must be documented. The process must be repeatable in different patients, preferably by several different practitioners. Claims As requested by the FTC, I have evaluated the following claims found on the WHD website: a. WHD's herbal formulas, cure packages and herbal cure packages are effective in treating and curing cancer; b. WHD's herbal formulas, cure packages, herbal cure packages and the Zapper Electrical Unit are effective in treating and curing Alzheimer's Disease; c. WHD's herbal formulas, cure packages and herbal cure packages are effective in treating and curing diabetes; d.WHD's herbal formulas, cure packages and herbal cure packages are effective in treating and curing arthritis; e. WHD's herbal formulas, cure packages, herbal cure packages and the Zapper Electrical Unit are effective in treating and curing AIDS and HIV infection; f. WHD's herbal formulas, cure packages and herbal cure packages, when used by persons with cancer, make surgery and chemotherapy unnecessary. Evaluation of the Substantiation for the Western Herb & Dietary Products' Claims The Clark books contain numerous unevaluated theories, unsubstantiated clinical observations, invalid diagnostic procedures and unproven therapies. As detailed below, no reasonable health care professional would consider her books to provide substantiation of the WHD claims. Hulda Clark's Credentials Clark is apparently a graduate in naturopathy from Clayton College, a correspondence school located in Alabama. As far as I know, the naturopathy decree issued by Clayton College is not considered a valid credential by any state licensing naturopathic doctors. It is also not considered a sufficient credential to sit for the national naturopathic licensing examination (NPLX). The standard of education in the United States for N.D. degree licensure is an accredited four- year, residential graduate program. I am unaware of any state licensing body that would consider a distance-learning program of a few hundred hours adequate for clinical practice. Claim A. WHD's herbal formulas, cure packages and herbal cure packages are effective in treating and curing cancer. There is no competent and reliable evidence that the WHD formulas and packages effectively treat or cure cancer. The curecancer.com website makes explicit claims to cure not only every type of cancer, but also AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, back problems, diabetes and heart diseases. The claims are explicitly to cure, not prevent mitigate or treat disease. The WHD rationale for these claims is the works of Hulda Clark. In fact, the curecancer.com web pages appear to be directly transcribed from the Hulda Clark books. On its first page, [1] the website provides a quote from Clark [2] which asserts: Cancer is caused by a certain parasite, for which evidence has been found in every form of cancer. So lung cancer is NOT caused by smoking, Colon cancer is NOT caused by a low roughage diet, Breast Cancer is NOT caused by a fatty diet, Retinal Blastoma is NOT caused by a rare gene, and Pancreatic cancer is NOT caused by alcohol consumption. Although these are all CONTRIBUTING FACTORS, they are not THE cause. Clark's books make a very large number of unfounded assertions and claims. In general, Clark claims a parasite, the fluke Fasciolopsis buskii [3] is the cause of many chronic diseases. She asserts to have found it in every case of cancer, HIV infection, Alzheimer's disease, Crohn's disease, Kaposi's sarcoma, endometriosis, and in many people without these diseases. Clark asserts that the high level of toxins in the human body allows the parasite to complete its full life cycle without requiring the intermediate snail host. This in-human life cycle process then causes, according to Clark the production of a " mitotic stimulant " She also asserts several other parasites am endemic in the U.S. as well, but F. buski is her primary culprit The following appear to be the core elements that comprise her theories: All cancers and most diseases due to Fasciolopsis buski infection Fasciolopsis buski is commonly found in humans in the U.S. Solvent buildup in the body prevents the body from eliminating this and other parasites Humans have high levels of isopropyl alcohol, both from exposure and by generation in the intestines by a bacterium called Clostridium The presence of aflatoxin B prevents the detoxification of isopropyl alcohol The coincidence of aflatoxin B and isopropyl alcohol in the liver results in the production of human chorionic gonadotropin Human chorionic gonadotropin causes distant cells to produce the " mitotic stimulant " ortho-phospho-tyrosine Killing the parasites and removing toxins and carcinogens from the body and diet result in cure in a short time The parasites can be killed with an herbal formula A device she calls a " Syncrometer " can be used to diagnose the presence of parasites, disease and toxins A device she calls a " Zapper " can be used to kill the parasites. Following is my evaluation of these theories and therapies. Fasciolopsis buski and human disease Parasite infections in humans have long been associated with specific types of cancers. For example, Schistosoma hematobium is a known inducer of urinary bladder cancer, Helicobacter pylori is a gastric carcinogen, and hepatitis B virus is a causative agent of liver cell cancers. However, the claim that all cancers (let alone all AIDS, etc.) are caused by Fasciolopsis buski is unsubstantiated and extremely unlikely. Fasciolopsis buski is a recognized snail-transmitted, intestinal, food-borne human intestinal fluke [4]. It is found in many parts of Asia and principally parasitizes the intestines of pigs. The prevalence of infection in children ranges from 57% in mainland China to 25% in Taiwan and from 50% in Bangladesh and 60% in India to 10% in Thailand [5]. Human infection, fasciolopsiasis, is acquired by ingesting water plants such as water chestnuts, which bear metacercariae of the parasite. Light infection is asymptomatic, while heavy infection is associated with abdominal pain, ulceration, hemorrhage, intestinal obstruction and facial and generalized edema. Diagnosis is made by finding adult flukes or, more commonly, by finding F. buski eggs in the feces. In light infections, even without treatment, spontaneous cure normally occurs within one year. Current conventional treatment is with praziquantel. There is no research documenting the association of F. buski with cancer or any disease other than fasciolopsiasis. Considering the well-documented level of infestation in these other countries, if the Clark theory was true we'd see an equally high level of cancer, which we don't. Isopropyl alcohol, role in disease, body burden, and sources Isopropyl alcohol exposure is common: rubbing alcohol, window cleaner solution, cosmetics, hair tonics, etc. It is considered to be about twice as toxic as ethanol. Isopropyl alcohol is readily absorbed from the intestines. The main problems are acute toxicity, typically from. ingestion, and potentiation of the toxicity of some other chemicals, such as carbon tetrachloride. The half time for the elimination of isopropyl alcohol by the dog and rat is 4 and 2 hours, respectively. There is no research support for its persistence in the body, association with any parasitic infections, nor any association with cancer or any other disease. According to the National Library of Medicine's ToxNet, isopropyl alcohol is not classified as a carcinogen in either animals or humans. Aflatoxin B and isopropyl alcohol There is no research demonstrating any relationship between aflatoxin and isopropyl alcohol. Nor is there any research showing a relationship between these chemicals and chorionic gonadotropin. Chorionic gonadotropin Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a chemical secreted in large amounts by pregnant women and by some cancers. I was unable to find any research that HCG induces cancer. Ortho-phospho-tyrosine While tyrosine kinases are involved in some carcinogenic processes, I was unable to document the significance (i.e., cancer growth stimulant and measure of cancer) attributed by Clark to " ortho- phospho-tyrosine. " Tyrosine phosphorylation is one of the key covalent modifications that occur in multicellular organisms as a result of intercellular communication during embryogenesis and maintenance of adult tissues. The enzymes that carry out this modification are the protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), which catalyze the transfer of the phosphate of AIP to tyrosine residues on protein substrates. Phosphorylation of tyrosine residues modulates enzymatic activity and creates binding sites for the recruitment of downstream signaling proteins. Because PTKs are critical components of cellular signaling pathways, their catalytic activity is strictly regulated. Many growth factor receptors and retroviral transforming proteins share the property of phosphorylating proteins on tyrosine. Protein tyrosine kinase also plays an important role in the viability of several parasites. None of this appears to provide support for the Clark theories. Herbal eradication of parasites The herbs recommended by Clark for eliminating parasites have some tradition of use as anthelmintics (worm-killing agents). [7-10] Black walnut hulls (Juglans nigra): Peripherally mentioned in King's American Dispensatory, recommended in Indian Herbology of North America. A recent study evaluated a kerosene milky-stage walnut (Juglans spp.) extract, a Russia folk medication, in an animal model. A dose of 75 mg/kg in albino mice provided 100% efficiency against ascariasis [11]. Wormwood (Artemesia absinthium): Contains absinthian, a well documented anthelmintic with a long history of use, though primarily for round worms, not flukes. Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum): Mentioned in Green Pharmacy. No current research found. The only botanical medicine for which I found research demonstrating efficacy against Fasciolopsis buski is the alcohol extract of the root-tuber of Flemingia vestita (not recommended by Clark). [12] Although the dosages recommended by Clark are unclear and the research has only assessed their efficacy in round worms, the recommended herbs may be effective in the treatment of Fasciolopsis buski. There is no evidence they have any efficacy in patients with cancer or other diseases. Syncrometer No research is presented demonstrating that the Syncrometer is a valid diagnostic device or that it correlates with any accepted cancer or other disease diagnostic procedure. Zapper No research is presented demonstrating that the Zapper has any physiological effects, let alone ability to kill parasites or cure cancer. The claim that mild electrical shocks to the skin can eliminate intestinal parasites is, frankly, preposterous. Case histories The Clark book The Cure for All Cancers presents about a hundred cases, some numbered and some not Since most of the cancer cases are diagnosed with the Synchrometer, not a standard or accepted diagnostic procedure, they do not provide substantiation of the validity of the theories or efficacy of the treatments. Those with accurate diagnoses appear to have either been successfully treated with conventional interventions or fared uniformly poorly. The patients that appeared to respond had no documentation of cancer other than the Syncrometer. Clark intermixes what appear to be accurately conventionally diagnosed cancer patients with patients diagnosed only with the Syncrometer. It gives the superficial appearance of cancer treatment efficacy, but close reading reveals a very clear distinction in outcomes: proper diagnosis -- no results, Syncrometer diagnosis -- results. Peppered throughout the case discussions are such outrageous diagnoses as a patient being " full of fiberglass because she was coughing a lot " and that an elevated alkaline phosphatase level was due to the presence of a dye (DAB) when this is a well known sign of bone cancer metastases! Clarks's The Cure for All Advanced Cancers is a more sophisticated book. It provides about a hundred citations for various aspects of her theories and the " cured " cancer cases are provided in far more detail. Many of the individual statements she makes are consistent with the current scientific knowledge. For example, many environmental toxins (e.g., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) do cause cancer, heavy metals do damage immune function, iron deficiency does decrease cytochrome P450 activity, mycotoxins do increase the risk of certain cancers, etc. However, such statements of common knowledge, while seeming to provide science, do not provide substantiation of her theories. For analysis of the validity of the " cured cancer cases, I consulted an oncologist, Dr. Aron Primack. At my request, he reviewed The Cure for All Advanced Cancers. He makes several observations: A biopsy proof is required to diagnose cancer and the same is true for the fast evidence of metastases. Infammatory lesions of all organs occur, and these can mimic cancer in every respect. These lesions then heal with time and credit is often given to intervening " therapies " such as those described in this book Even in bona fide cases of malignancy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, as well as surgery, can make people feel worse after treatment and this can mimic ongoing disease, requiring a period of time of healing before one can assess the treatment. The cases in this book are all of an extreme nature. They all have more widespread disease and odder distribution of metastases than one sees in oncology practice. The pattern of spread of disease in these patients is different from that normally seen in comparable patients. There are clearly stated " causes " for findings that do not stand up to scrutiny. E.g. Case 25 (Hodgkin's Disease) in which she states: night sweats are caused by Mycobacterium Avium brought in by ascaris. There is NO indication of this. Hodgkin's Disease patients have had numerous biopsies of these nodes and there has never been a correlation with tuberculosis or ascaris. Blood tests are not a substitute for biopsies. They may improve, such as in prostate cancer, but the cells may be more undifferentiated and the cancer actually worse. Finally, spontaneous improvements do occur. He assessed the diagnostic procedures and outcomes in many of the cases. In summary, he did not find adequate diagnostic evidence indicative of cures. In particular, he found many examples where changes in radiological or other reports were either misinterpreted, or not the appropriate diagnostic tool for the interpretations presented. For example, changes in bone scans or x-rays were often cited as documentation of the presence and remission of cancer. However, without proper biopsies, the lesions described could indicate a tumor, metastasis, infection, inflammtion, or simply a developmental abnormality. As can be see from the above analysis, there is no significant substantiation for the Clark theories, diagnostic procedures, therapies or claimed clinical successes. Claim B. WHD's herbal formulas, care packages, herbal care packages and the Zapper Electrical Unit are effective in treating and curing Alzheimer's Disease. There is no competent and reliable evidence that the WHD formulas and packages effectively treat or cure Alzheimer's disease. Claim C. WHD's herbal formulas, care packages and herbal cure packages are effective in treating and curing diabetes. There is no competent and reliable evidence that the WED formulas and packages effectively treat or cure diabetes. Claim D. WHD's herbal formulas, cure packages and herbal care packages are effective in treating and curing arthritis. There is no competent and reliable evidence that the WHD formulas and packages effectively treat or cure arthritis. The rationales for my evaluation of Claims B, C, and D are considered together as they are all supposedly substantiated by one source, Clark's book The Cure for All Diseases. Clark's theory of the causes and treatment of all diseases is essentially the same as for cancer. It suffers from the deficiencies noted above. Her claims of cure also suffer from the same problems of invalid diagnostic and evaluative procedures which provide no substantiation for either the presence of the disease or its eradication and therapies with no reliable documentation of efficacy. On the front page of this book Clark sets the stage with the assertion: " Electricity can now be used to kill bacteria, viruses, and parasites in minutes, not days or weeks as antibiotics require. " Other than describing her " discovery process " , she provides no substantiation for this assertion. If her electrical device could indeed kill these microorganisms, it would be simple to perform and reproduce this effect in any microbiology laboratory or biology classroom. This is followed by the equally undocumented assertion of cause on page 2: " No matter how long or confusing is the list of symptoms a person has, from chronic fatigue to infertility to mental problems, I am sure to find only two things wrong: they have in them pollutants and/or parasites. I never find lack of exercise, vitamin deficiencies, hormone levels or anything else to be a primary causative factor. " This statement appears to simply ignore hundreds of thousands of studies published in the peer-reviewed research literature to the contrary. For Alzheimer's disease, Clark adds to the basic theory the assertion that xylene and toluene, from decaffeinated powders and carbonated drinks, are " brain-seeking " toxins, as are aluminum, mercury, freon, thallium, and cadmium and the bacterium Shigella. While these solvents and heavy metals are indeed toxic to the brain, there is no substantiation of their presence, other than the Syncrometer. The therapies recommended are unlikely to be toxic (except the excessively high dosage of vitamin B2); they are also unlikely to have an effect unless the patient was deficient in one or more of them, not uncommon in an elderly population. The four case histories given are not at all compelling, with only one showing possible improvement Considering the variability of Alzheimer's disease, such cases need to be followed objectively for months before efficacy can be assessed. For diabetes, Clark adds infestation of the pancreas with Eurytrema pancreatum, a cattle fluke, as a cause. She also asserts that methanol is a toxin found in all patients with diabetes. There is no research to support either of these claims. However, several of the therapies recommended may help some patients with adult onset (NIDDM) diabetes. Specifically, fenugreek seeds and the trace mineral chromium may be beneficial in improving blood sugar levels and bilberry extract may decrease the vascular damage seen in patients with diabetes. The case results presented suggest possible improvement in several, and could be the result of improved diet and supplementation with these natural therapies. However, longer term monitoring would be required to assess actual outcomes. The WHD diabetes formula (black walnut, wormwood, cloves, l-arginine, l- ornithine, african bird cayenne, burdock root, and marshmallow root) does not contain any of the herbs or nutrients known to improve diabetes. For rheumatoid arthritis, Clark asserts that the worms actually live in the joints. For osteoarthritis, she asserts that chronic, undetected staph and strep infections are responsible. She also believes that excessive phosphates (from meat, soft drinks and grams) are a problem in this condition. There is no substantiation for these theories. The case histories presented were diagnosed based only on symptoms, not standard diagnostic procedures. Without an accurate diagnosis, it is impossible to determine if there is any significance to the very modest clinical improvements in a few of the cases. There was no apparent pattern in the therapies, so I am unable to determine if they've any valid theoretical basis. However, one therapy, recommending the avoidance of nightshade family foods, does have some research support for patients with osteoarthritis. Claim E. WHD's herbal formulas, cure packages, herbal care packages and the Zapper Electrical Unit are effective in treating and curing AIDS and HIV infection. There is no competent and reliable evidence that the WHD formulas and packages effectively treat or cure HIV/AIDS. In addition, I believe the WHD claim and the Clark book pose a serious public health hazard. The risk of contagion of the deadly HIV virus is well documented. Clark's theory for the cause of HIV/AIDS is essentially the same as for other diseases. For HIV/AIDS, she adds the assertion that the HIV virus is found in the snail stage of the Fasciolopsis lifecycle and develops into the human version due to accumulation of benzene in the thymus. She further asserts the fluke is necessary for the HIV virus to maintain its presence in the body and that " benzene is the cause of AIDS [13]. Clark's theory has no validity. There is no research documenting the presence of the any type of HIV virus in snails, no research supporting the unusual prevalence of a fluke such as Fasciolopsis buski in HIV positive patients, no evidence of benzene contamination in HIV positive patient, no evidence that benzene preferentially accumulates in the thymus, no evidence that a parasitic infection is necessary for the maintenance of an HIV infection and no evidence that benzene has any relationship to HIV. Clark asserts to have cured HIV/AIDS based on 58 numbered and approximately 30 unnumbered patients in her book The Cure for HIV and AIDS. Virtually all were " diagnosed " as HIV positive based on her Syncrometer, not standard blood tests. There is no substantiation of the validity of the Syncrometer as an accurate measure of HIV virus, let alone being able to determine in which organs it resides. Of these 88 reported cases, only 14 actually had blood tests. The test results were typically reported by the patient and not confirmed by Clark and most of them were not reported in enough detail to determine their validity. Of the 14 with a blood test, three were actually negative, even though reported positive by the Syncrometer. One of these apparently became IHV positive during therapy. Of the 11 with possibly accurate diagnoses, only 3 reported the type of test performed. Of those reported to have become HIV negative according to " clinical tests, " the type of blood test was only stated in 4. While PCR has validity in tracking the viral load of an HIV positive patient, to be valid it needs to be performed serially by the same laboratory using the same methodologies, due to the highly variable genetics of the virus. Of particular significance, however, is that during the early 90s when these tests were run, PCR was a new procedure with low reliability. The clinical results of the 11 with a possibly accurate diagnosis are highly variable, ranging from continued progression of the disease, to patient-reported subjective improvements to those who left before completion of therapy. The information provided does not document actual improvement, let alone cure, and the concomitant use of conventional therapy was not reported. The therapies recommended have no research supporting their efficacy in the eradication of the HIV virus. The " Zapper " does not appear to have been subjected to any objective research evaluation and the idea that an electrical current will selectively destroy specific viruses has no credibility. As discussed above, the " deworming " therapies may be effective in eliminating some parasites, but have no research supporting elimination of the HIV virus. To diagnose a person as HIV positive based on an unproven device without a confirmatory blood test is unconscionable. The needless worry and suffering this causes is appalling, as is the anguish of the spouses who thought they were in a monogamous relationship and parents with no understanding of how their young children could have become infected. Asserting cure because this device no longer reports the disease is not in anyway credible. Not only is there no substantiation for these diagnostic and therapeutic claims, I believe this website and the Clark books pose a serious public health hazard. HIV is a deadly communicate virus whose incidence of infection is again increasing. Convincing an HIV positive patient that he or she is HIV negative after a few weeks of ineffective therapy, implying he or she no longer needs to practice safe sex is outrageous. This is likely to increase the spread of the disease and undermine the efforts of public health departments across the country to contain it. Claim F. WHD's herbal formulas, cure packages and herbal cure packages, when used by persons with cancer, make surgery and chemotherapy unnecessary. As discussed above, there is no competent and reliable evidence that the WHD formulas and packages effectively treat or cure cancer. Therefore the recommendation that these interventions make surgery or chemotherapy unnecessary is equally inappropriate and may deter a patient from obtaining an accurate diagnosis and potentially life- saving therapy. Conclusion Not only is there is no competent and reliable evidence that the WHD formulas and packages effectively treat or cure cancer, AIDS or other serious diseases, I believe their claims pose a substantive public health danger. This ranges from: allowing serious disease to progress untreated to the increased risk of the spread of the deadly virus due to HIV-infected individuals mistakenly believing their virus is eradicated.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 Ed, How long did you use the Zapper? I did the cleanse with the zapper about 3-4wks and I felt more energy and some weight loss. I am thinking about starting to zap again. What did you mean that you felt worse using it at first? Lorene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 Frank, I do appreciate the article you sent. Some of her claims make sense to me to some degree but certainly not all of them. My pets and I have benefitted tangibly from her parasite cleanse program. I do think her theory that toxins and parasites are two huge areas that are never addressed in traditional medicine are not only interesting but sound to me quite credible as a possible basis for the formation of chronic disease or diseases of deficinecy. Where she goes from there gets a bit murkier and unclear as far as outstanding claims, I will admit. I found much bias in the article. For one thing, as far as Clark's education, he only mentioned the Clayton extension course instead of her degrees from University of Saskatchewan, Canada, Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, 2 yrs McGill University, and studying biophysics and cell physiology at the University of Minnesota where she received her Doctorate. She was in government funded research. You'd think if this guy truly researched her education and had to make this one of his strikes against her, that he would have been fair by mentioning the rest of her educational credentials. There were other ommissions or statements that he took out of context. He points out that lung cancer is caused by smoking, well..sure it is, and that is a toxin and her theory if you've read even one of her books, is that toxins and parasites are the start of disease. Smoking is a toxin. She doesn't just discuss the treatment of roundworms, ascarii, she has various treatments that cover all parasites from the 100 most common to the others which she recommends treatments beyond one specific parasite cleanse. He said she doesn't address nutrition or supplements and their deficiencies. I sure didn't find that, what I did find in my reading was that taking supplements alone without addressing the underlying cause of deficiencies which can be lack of enzymes and parasites leaching off the body's nutrional reserves has to be the start of the body " healing itself " . His tone was that if something wasn't generally held to be proven true, then there you go.. I, for one, would like to see more private research into the cause of disease and not just the status quo. If Dr. Clark is a quack and has harmed patients or had negative reports from clients or families, I'm sure the FDA would be happy to pounce on her and she would have been stopped to this point. Don't take what I say out of context, I do not promote her, the products she sells, I have nothing vested in her in any way, but I have had positive results following one of her treatment regimens in my experience.

He is stating that lung cancer can be the cause of lung cancer.

Even she finally saw how riduculas that was so she explanded to include some others That is why you need her new more expensive machine. There is almost NO real information in her web site except buy MY book, machine, purgatives, clinic in Tijuana, etc. I have read her book, it makes me sick what she is trying to do. > beyond one specific parasite cleanse.

Are you implying her that she has discovered parasits or " cleanses " ?? Purgatives (her cleanses have been used for thousands of years and were one of the main treatments by alopathic medicineup intill the 1930's along with bloodletting. If Dr. Clark is a quack and > has harmed patients or had negative > reports from clients or families, I'm sure > the FDA would be happy to pounce on her and She was a fugitive from Indiana just exactly for that reason.

It is about her stated purpose of her books, products, clinic etc. She says she can cure cancer in 5 days. If she can do that it would be easy to prove. (and a miracle). All of the rest is BS and huckster marketing. This group was started to give a forum to real non commercial discussions of nutritional solutions to illness. Not to this shody brand of snake oil, because that is what she really is, the traveling snake oil salesman.

Unless I missed something, neither of the depositions actually talked about any reputable scientist actually testing Dr.Clarke's zapper in any way. I am very suspicious of " science " which dismisses anything without applying scientific experimentation. I suspecther theories about flukes causing cancer are far fetched, but without scientists testing her zapper, I am left wondering if her methods might have some merit even though her theoretical beliefs might be full of hooey. Likewise criticizing Dr. Clarke's latin as a way of discrediting her paristological investigations is pretty bogus. It is quite possible to be ignorant of the niceties in any field of endeavor & still have something worthwhile to contribute. Criticizing Dr.Clarke's latin comes very close (IMO) to an Ad Hominin Attack - Stating that an argument of the opposing person is invalid because of that person's poor character. When I was in high school I was told that Hall --who extracted Aluminum from fused (molten) bauxite -- was able to run his experiments because the proferssor was away for term break & Hall had the run of the lab. Had the professor been there, he would have forbidden the experiments (according to my Chemistry teacher) because the prof was convinced they would have been futile & expensive to run. Again, not saying Dr. Clarke is necessarily correct in her assertions. Just saying I would rest easier if her tools were tested instead of being dismissed because here credentials are lacking or she makes claims which are over-statements (at best).

Her work should not be judged on her use of latin or her credentials which are probably valid. But on her work and assertions. In fact that was my whole point of all my posts. The only thing that matters is what she is stating and does it work. The main theme of all her work is very simple. SHE states quite emphatically that she can cure cancer, aids, etc. by killing internal flukes with her zappers. She also states that she can diagnose with another machine. Don't you think the burden of proof should be upon the one making an assertion of truth and not eveyone elses to prove them wrong with NO foundation or studies done or available to anyone else. Just to buy her book and NO other detailed work study available to anyone else. How could they do an indepth study on her work when as far as I know, there is NO indepth study of her work by her, just her book and her web site, which they did evaluate to their opinions.If you have read her book, you will see there is not much there in to grab ahold of either. I personally don't care if someone wants to use her methods, But If they are very sick I would like if they were fully cognizant of what they are buying and spending their time on. If one has cancer time is a very precious commodity. This is no time to trying to bamboozle people, to rob them of thier money but stealing something more important, their time to do something valid in the hopes of saving their own lives. The point of all I have said about this " cure " is if it is a cure, is it would be very easy for her to really show everyone. Something like......Here is a person who everyone agrees has cancer , here are the xrays, hospital test results etc. Now watch, with my methods I will effect a cure. And in an open manner we can see if yes it works or no it didnt work. I didnt say she had the answer to " cure " cancer, she did to the tune of about a million book and many other sales of machines etc. I don't see any other issue at all. Everyone wants to comment on her and what I said, but NOT one person has addressed this main and almost only issue. My god If I had the cure for cancer, I would be world famous in no time and no one would care less about my credentials or anything else. Why all the nit picking when the only thing that matters is does it work and if so why no examples or proof from her camp. I am all for promoting possible valid therapies whether any established interests like it or not. In my opinion all I see here is hucksterish marketing and outlandish claims with NO back up data and a good spin pr campaing to fleece to sick and desperate. But this is just my opinion, you certainly are welcome to yours. just give me the same right. and give everyone else the same right with all available information not some sales spiel. That is exactly what I see has been happening. There are two points in her approach but she mixes the two and uses one as an excuse for the other. One is her " discovery " a scientific/medcal claim. the second is her business to sell cures, a business. Nothing wrong with either of those endeavers. But instead of showing the efficacy of one she moves to the second and then says buy this because I claim the first (discovery). If the first part is not true then the motive for the second part is highly suspect. We are not dealing here with rocket science, we're talking about killing parasites in the body with a machine and curing extremely serios secondary diseases. This should be very easy if it works. It is a very simple premise and a very simple protocol. There should be very litte controvery in an open environment to see if it works or not. If it did work, I don't think there would be any controversy. Lots of people would be lining up to buy her machine and for treatment and also to administer treatments to others. She does admit to a 5% failure rate but I think we would still consider it a near miracle in comparison to whats available now from established medicine. respectfully, Frank PS. I didn't want to get into her expanded theories. Mental problems are caused by parasites in the brain, heart trouble is caused by parasites in the heart. ditto for the liver, arthritus, diabetes, aids, etc. Please jst cure a couple of cancer patients before you expect me to swallow any more bug theories. > > - > " califpacific " <califpacific> > <Gettingwell> > Friday, April 05, 2002 8:27 PM > Re: Dr. Hulda Clark - Cancer can now be cured! > > > > Gettingwell, Shiree4000@a... wrote: > > > Frank, > > > > > > Would like to know why you feel the way you do > > > about Dr. Clark...are you saying none of her > > > cleanses, etc are effective either? > > > > > > Lor > > > > Dear Lor, > > I think most people wh read Clarke's theories would conclude they are > > false just by common sense.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2002 Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 That sound as though it should be true, but let's face it. There are many ways to cure and if it's natural (knowledge to pass along) the path is beaten by folks like us on the list. Big company's don't get involved unless there's a profit.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 You know??? It's really not sarcasm or opinion here. Think of the businesses you have worked with. Employees cannot spend their time on unprofitable issues. Marketing is paid very very well " if " they can make more money for the company. The natural things of the world are free. Why on earth would a large company even entertain the idea of a free natural breakthrough? Frankly, now that we have a decade of internet discussion lists, I'll bet you see alot more " breakthroughs " - not necessarily advertised on tv and radio, but on the " health watch " segments and through lists like this. People are beginning to learn what/who to trust and not to trust through their online friendships and researches.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 I am not defending Dr. Clark. But what ever happened to using mega doses of vitamin C with proline & lysine to prevent almost all heart disease? The research was done. Papers were presented to reputable scientific bodies. The pharmaceutical companies make more money from selling expensive drugs to treat heart disease than they can ever make from selling vitamin C or amino acids. http://www.petition450.org/english/tenyears.pdf 10 grams of vitamin C per day doubles the life of cancer patients http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/mega_1_1.html yet I have *never* known anyone with cancer whose doctor had them taking vitamin C in any dosage. I could go on. Let us just say I do not trust either the pharmaceutical companies or the scientific establishment to be fair or unbiased. Both doctors & pharmaceutical companies are in the business of making lots of money from sick people. Even when they are not deliberately & maliciously giving out harmful information, they are blinded by belief in their particular paradigm. As I say, Dr. Clarke may be a kook of the first order, but the lack of positive response for her work by the medical establishment sure does not prove anything to me.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 Dear Alobar, No, I dont accuse you of defending Hulda Clarke. My " rant " is against her and no one else. I to would not let the disapproveal of the medical establishment dissuade me in accepting some other ideas or theory. In fact in todays invieronment I would be more accepting than if she arrived full blown on the scene WITH the endorsment of the cancer people. I do nor jave a lot of faith in most allopathic methods and the cancer industry in particular. The established medical industry has done everything in it's power to subvert, disinform, almost all efforts to show that almost all healing is done by the body itself and it does when all of the necessary natural ingredients are present at the time it needs them. In my opinion, the problem arises because these companies are just that. Companies with profit driven motives (rather than them doing research or seeking a cure.) and we confuse that with truth seeking methods like pure science) The pharmacuetical companies have their own P.R.spin, huckster marketing going. Their sales spiel is that they are doing research and trying to find cures. The only research that I know going on with them is that it is research with only one aim, to research a product for the market place.And will the profit outway any financial liabilities. To ask these companies to act in what is good for man, mankind, health or any altruistic reason is in error. That is what the acedemic sector, medical schools, the elected representatives, and the government agencies were set up to do. The pharmacuetical industry has consistently subverted and co-opted them to the point that there almost is no function there at all except to further the financial aims of the drug companies. You are looking at a trillion dollar industry in the US alone. I don't think I will wait on my health until they decide to admit that most disease is nutritional and diet in nature and no I don't need their medicine, I can just take a vitamin and heal myself and that 90% of them can just go home now. We are talking some vested interests here. As for Hulda Clarke, I think it would be a very poor state if I chose to believe in her on the basis that....#1 - I don't believe in most of allopathic medicine so... ergo I should believe in her. Doesn't make good sense to me. I think it is a very sad state of affairs that in our age of technology, that we need be our own best doctor because the main alternative we have will probably bankrupt us, damage our health further, or kill us. In a profit driven humane system you get profit driven solutions. That is why the establishment is popular and ALSO why Hulda Clarke prospers in the face of opposition from the first. The politicions have done such a good job of snowing the populace in the US that we are proud of our health care system and made to feel unpatriotic in we didn't. We have a deplorable system not just in my opinion, but most every yardstick used. Our death rate from disease is not good in comparison to other advanced nations. We spend many times more on health care than most others, etc, etc. Bla, bla, bla. About the time people start waking up to some of these facts, they become old and poor (having spent most of their money on profit driven solutions) so they die and there is always a new crop coming along to further the system. So, far before the internet there was absolutely no way for people to gather, compare information, or pass on much information to the next generation. I doubt very seriously if the internet is up to the task either. The powers that be OWN the system, game, and referees.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 Hi there! Sure wish that's the way things worked, but we're naive when we beleive that scientists are unbiased, that those in scientific authority welcome new discoveries. Scientists complain about the difficulty in bringing discoveries forward. The resistance to new knowledge, and the unbeleivable lengths of personal attacks, are incomprehensible to the average person. There are few open minds in this territory! Even funding for research has systems set up to continue new rounds of old, unproductive research, and discourage novel research projects. It makes no sense, till we understand that much of this revolves around an elitist system which preserves hierarchy and prestige, and has nothing to do with scientific discovery. The whole system desperately needs a good shake-up. All it would take, is public awareness, for shame to ripple throughout the whole scientific community. Mainstream scientists have enough difficulty, and have to wait for those in authority to retire or die, for progress to move forward another increment, stalled again till that generation moves out of positions of power. What chance does a maverick like Hulda Clarke have with such a system? People lose careers over taking chances, and so they concentrate on keeping their jobs, and not rocking the boat. Meanwhile, in medicine, particularly, people continue to die, as scientists cover their professional asses. It's truly shameful, the behavior is childish, and the system is horribly corrupt! Very sad.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 Of course there are small-minded people in all walks of life, but if one tries, the " cream will rise to the top " . If the science is correct, the nay-sayers will lose and the visionaries will persevere, but the theory must be put to the test. Morton fmn wrote: > Hi there!

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 Yes, some in the media put out misinformation according to their biases, but to say that all the media is biased in favour of the forces of evil is foolish.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 Sorry, but some " people like us on the list " are, though well-meaning, are quite misinformed. And to propagate misinformation just to salve our egos is criminal. Science still must be put to the test. As the saying goes, the truth will out.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 Hi John! Ah, yes! Just where to start? The primary media is in so few hands, and the worldview is thus controled. I don't know that this can be changed, but " media literacy " is one way. " Who profits from my beleiving this? " " Is this a biased story? " " Am I being manipulated or deceived? " " What am I not being told? " are useful questions. We've all been too trusting. All our Institutions strive to hold together what may be a mass delusion. Beleiving that these Institutions work in our interest is naive. Do any of them? " Follow the money " is also a useful lead. Who funds them? Who might profit? Who else have " spokespersons " worked for, been funded by, hope to work for? It may be that we have to assume deception, vested interests, and manipulation. The best disinformation techniques involve an element of truth, and this may be a silver line we can follow into alternate media for context, background, and differing perspectives. " Always question everything " may be the best policy.
