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

Thanks very much. I had not realized the lectures was in

the archives. I note the end of the lecture is missing. I looked

in the archives & it is not there either. I am very glad what you

Dear Alobar,
