MATTHIAS RATH Biography of Dr. Matthias Rath Scientific Publications by Dr. Matthias Rath Ten Years That Changed The Face of Medicine Other Literature by Dr. Rath Health for All by the Year 2020 The Dr. Rath Health Foundation helps to coordinate natural health programs and clinical studies. As a non-profit-organization it is dedicated to promoting natural health information and to protecting the right to natural health against the global interests of the pharmaceutical investment industry. Over the past decades the World Health Organization (WHO) has come under increasing influence of the pharmaceutical industry. As a result, it lost its true role and focus to improve the health of the people worldwide. Nutritional programs - including the promotion of health benefits of vitamins and other micronutrients - were corner-stones of international health programs during the first two decades of the World Health Organization, half a century ago. Under the influence of the pharmaceutical investment " business with disease " these life-saving programs were gradualy abandoned and replaced by exactly the opposite: A global strategic effort to limit dissemination on the health benefits of natural, non-patentable therapies. Particularly through the " Codex Alimentarius " - Commission, the pharmaceutical investment lobby was turning the World Health Organization away from effective and affordable natural health towards a global control agency on behalf of the pharmaceutical " business with disease " . This was the background for Dr. Rath and the Dr. Rath Health Foundation to present the following Ten-Point-Program " Health For All By The Year 2020 " at the World Summit in Johannesburg in August 2002. The following program was published in the official conference documents and brought to the attention of the political leaders of more than one hundred countries of the world. The publication of these ten principles marked a turning point for a new global health care. The official program of the World Summit in Johannesburg, August 2002 Many countries, espacially from the developing world, have already taken action on this program (see world map on our home page). Following are the ten points presented at the World Summit: 1 Health is a basic human right. Every person is entitled to make use of this right without any restriction. Public institutions and private organizations are to be held accountable for providing life-saving health information to the people of the world. The obstruction of the right to essential health information for everyone constitutes a crime against humanity. 2 Today, health is not available to every human being -- for good reasons. These include social injustice, military conflicts and others. Another significant reason is the fact that the most profitable industry on earth, the pharmaceutical industry, is an investment industry based upon the existence and continuation of diseases - despite declarations to the contrary. Low-cost prevention, treatment and elimination of diseases threaten this multi-trillion dollar " business with disease " . 3 Most efforts to improve health on a global scale have failed thus far. The World Health Organization's effort " Health for All by the Year 2000 " could not reach its goals because it did not distinctly separate itself from the global " business with disease. " It focused instead on administrative healthcare changes, rather than taking advantage of global advances in medicine. 4 Advances in the field of natural medicine have been made over recent years that will reduce the incidence of common diseases in the industrialized countries as well as in the developing world, to a fraction of their current frequency. The primary cause of the world's most common health conditions is a chronic deficiency of micronutrients, essential for optimum cellular energy metabolism as well as optimum connective tissue stability. 5 In the industrialized world, the leading causes of death are heart attacks, cancer, strokes, diabetes and high blood pressure. Using the available knowledge in nutritional research and cellular medicine, these health conditions can be significantly reduced and hundreds of millions of lives can be saved. 6 In the developing world , two billion people suffer from deficiencies in micronutrients, according to United Nations Organizations. Avitaminosis is a leading cause of disease resulting in blindness in millions and promoting infectious diseases in hundreds of millions by compromising cellular defense mechanisms in their bodies. Taking advantage of the knowledge of nutritional medicine already available today, billions of lives can be saved in the developing world. 7 The eradication of today's most common health problems is dependent on one factor only: how fast the information about this breakthrough in natural health can be spread. While the scientific knowledge to combat these diseases effectively is available and the essential nutrients to prevent these health conditions can be produced at low costs, in any quantity, anywhere in the world, the dissemination of this life-saving information to the people of the world is being obstructed. 8 The Pharmaceutical industry tries to protect its global drug market by outlawing natural remedies. Effective, non-patentable and affordable natural health approaches threaten the very existence of the pharmaceutical industry. The multi-trillion dollar global pharmaceutical market is dependent on synthetic drugs that allow an excessively high return on investment based on the patentability of those drugs. To secure the continued existence of the pharmaceutical industry as the most profitable industry on earth, large corporations embarked on a global battle to outlaw the dissemination of natural health information. To that effect the pharmaceutical industry abuses the United Nations " Codex Alimentarius Commission " and other national and international bodies. 9 The people of the world face one of the largest challenges in human history. The right to health and life for billions of people is being threatened by the profit interests of a few shareholders. The goals of these two interest groups are incompatible by their very nature. Similarly, in the battle to save human lives against the profits from patented drugs, every government, every public and private institution has to take a decision on which side they stand. And they will be held accountable by history. 10 The goal " Health for All by the Year 2020 " is in sight. What is needed immediately is a worldwide effort to promote the dissemination of natural health benefits in every country. I call upon a.. The United Nations Organizations and other international organizations to promote natural health policies by all means available; b.. Politicians in every country to implement natural health as an integral part of national health policies; c.. Health professionals to utilize natural health approaches to improve the health of your patients. I call upon every man and woman to spread this life-saving information in order to protect your life and that of millions of others.
