Cancer - Cell Deterioration & Laetrile (B-17)

 

http://www.herbsfirst.com/NewsLetters/0399cancer.html

 

For a number of years now, it has been dangerous to even say the

word cancer from the podium for fear of being arrested for

prescribing medicine, when one is only talking about cancer. This is

something that has been very sad--that we have lost our freedom of

speech!

 

We are going to talk on this very subject--cancer, and ask, " Will

the natural wholistic program of healing help stamp out this curse

to humanity? "

 

Wholistic healing was taught by Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine,

and has been passed on down through history. Will its philosophy

help or will it not help overcome the conditions of cancer? Are we

entitled to know right from wrong?

 

We feel that the right way to treat a human being is to follow the

instructions of simplicity, as suggested by the Creator. We have

gone into such technical routines to try to heal disease, and have

become so confused that it is disheartening.

 

The wholistic program of natural healing is not even interested in

the word disease. It is interested in health, and a healthy body

will not have disease. So this is how we try to work on one of the

great problems of all time.

 

For maybe forty years I have given the advice, which has also been

given to me by teachers and doctors ahead of me, that cancer can be

cured. This can be done under certain conditions.

 

As we have often said " there are no incurable diseases, but there

are incurable people. "

 

Here are a few:

 

1. The individual who is a hypochondriac, who enjoys ill health, and

will not follow the advice. It is a waste of time to talk to them

because they enjoy ill health, and they enjoy the pleasure of having

people bow and scrape to them--those who try to make life a little

easier for them. Maybe some of these individuals were wallflowers

and nobody paid any attention to them, so they became very sickly.

Now they are actually hypochondriacs, and everything that sounds

like it might help, they might try for a short time to get

attention, but they won't try diligently enough to follow through.

They still enjoy ill health best of all!

 

2. The second type of individual that we cannot help is the one

whose " time has come. " " Everything moves in its time and season. "

There is an hour to be born, and there is an hour to die. We cannot

dispute this because when our job is done here on earth, and we have

done either the good or the evil that we have come to earth to do,

the good Lord says, " it's your time. " I don't care if you have a

staff of the greatest doctors on the face of the earth, that

individual is going to go! And, this is right, isn't it?

 

3. The third type that we cannot help is the lazy individual who

just can't seem to follow a program. They leave the aids on the

shelf; they will not follow through on the therapies or even

on " Thought patterns " ...i.e. mind over matter; magic of believing, " .

They are not what we call faithful patients. The faithful patient is

one who will follow the program as many times a day as needed,

accepting all physical inconveniences, whatever program a good

natural wholistic instructor has given them. Those who are faithful

to the program, six days a week (never seven), week after week, will

be healed, if it is to be.

 

I mentioned six days a week. I was in practice for well over twenty

years before I realized the good Lord meant what He said when He

said, " Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work " . He was

referring to the human body as well as our jobs, etc. The human body

will labor six days and it is ready to drop its toxic poisons on the

seventh day. And it does need a day of rest. So this is what a

faithful individual should do-six days a week of therapy, week after

week, until they get

 

I had a very interesting thing happen to me as I left Salt Lake City

by plane, settling into my seat, and getting out my reading

materials to occupy my mind for the several hours of flying, I was

interrupted by the lady sitting next to me. She asked me, " Where are

you going? " " To Toronto Canada, " I replied, and continued my

reading. " What are You going there for, business or pleasure? " " Oh " ,

I responded, " just to lecture " . I again opened my book to read and

try to relax. " My that sounds exciting, what subjects do you lecture

on? " she asked. I told her I lectured on herbs, diet and health. I

had kept my finger in the volume as a bookmark, and so I again

opened it, thinking 'that will sound dull enough', but that's just

what she wanted to talk about.

 

She then told me that she had gone to her family doctor a couple of

years ago because she had a lot of pain in her left breast. He

examined her and told her it was " cancer " , and that the breast would

have to be removed. She was sent almost immediately to the hospital

for surgery, with the assurance and promise that it was the only

way.

 

After the operation, she was told that a " GOOD JOB HAD BEEN DONE,

ALL THE CANCER WAS REMOVED, AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT EVER

RECURRING.

 

Nevertheless, in about six months, pains developed in the other

breast.

 

Upon examination, her doctor informed her that the other breast

would also have to be removed. She went home after that next

operation an extremely sad, and frightened woman who was plagued

with an inner fear of maybe more trouble to come!

 

Months went by and then pains developed in her abdominal and pelvic

area. Examination showed possibility of an abundance of cancer in

this area, and she was told again that treatments would have to

start immediately. She was given no assurance of healing this time,

just treatment by chemotherapy, surgery, etc., to help relieve the

pain. So she told her doctor he had operated twice, removing part of

her body each time, and that she was not going to allow any more

cutting--she just wanted to go home and try to help herself.

 

This idea, of course was ridiculed and warned against, but she made

up her mind, and she went home!

 

She stated that she knew nothing about medicine, herbs, treatments

of any kind; so, she said, " Do you know what I did? "

 

Now the picture had changed, I was no longer annoyed about having my

reading time interrupted. I had taken my " bookmark " out, and closed

the book. I was now the one asking questions. " No, what did you do? "

I asked. She then told me a story that was very exciting, yet very

simple, because it is just what I have been teaching after forty

years of study and research.

 

But, this lady was prompted by a divine source, as to the plan to

follow for a healing. She felt strongly that her diet had been in

error and knew it had to be changed.

 

I was all attention now, and wanted to know what diet she went

on. " Just the plainest one I could think of--fruits, vegetables,

grains, nuts and seeds, " she replied. She ate as many of these foods

as possible in their raw or wholesome state. The grains and hard

seeds she would soak on low heat. (How simple can you get? I think

the good Lord wants us to keep things simple).

 

She said that the last examination was two years ago, and then she

started on the " new " (actually as old as life itself) diet, using

nothing else. After a period of time, she was feeling much better

and the pains had gone. She went back to the doctor for another

examination, He was astounded. Only a small indication of cancer

showed on the pap smear; otherwise, he pronounced her healed.

 

A few months went by, she had been faithful with her " new " diet and

the next examination showed complete healing--a healthy body!

 

This lady was bubbling over with enthusiasm and asked me if I could

guess what she was doing now. She told me she had been receiving

invitations from various groups throughout the country and was

traveling to many areas teaching women the " new " way of eating to

prevent and/or heal cancer--I was glad for that visit and testimony!

 

Diet has been ignored, ridiculed and laughed at since long before

the turn of the century by doctors who specialize in fighting

disease and labeling and learning about disease germs. It is

refreshing to see a change gradually coming over them and noting

that many of them are turning to the idea that diet might have

something to do with good or bad health.

 

" The simple addition of fresh fruits and vegetables to one's diet

may act to minimize an individual's chance of acquiring intestinal

cancer, " said Dr. Guy Newell, deputy director of the National Cancer

Institute.

 

" The link between nutrition and cancer is a young and exciting

area. " [the natural wholistic healers have been using this principle

since before Hippocrates--author] We are moving into an era in which

people want to do more for themselves to safeguard their health, " he

said.

 

" Fiber, or roughage, is the nondigestible part of food formed

commonly in whole grains such as wheat grain, nuts, fresh fruits,

and vegetables.

 

He goes on to say that eating and drinking habits associated with

digestive tract cancers include: high fat-low fiber-cancers of the

colon and pancreas; low intake of Vitamin C and E-cancers of the

stomach and liver; heavy alcoholic consumption-cancer of the oral

cavity, larynx, and esophagus.

 

Here is a good example: Ronald Kotulak, medical reporter of the

Chicago Tribune, stated in an article, the second of a five-part

series on the increasing incidence of digestive diseases, which

inflicts one in six Americans:

 

" Since the turn of the century the average American's diet has

dramatically changed for the worse, causing a modern day plague of

digestive woes, according to many experts.

 

These dietary failures are to blame for the three most common

disturbances of the digestive tract and fourth disorder that is a

killer, they say.

 

As the result of the things he eats or doesn't eat, every American

runs a nearly 100 percent chance of developing one of the

big " three " digestive problems--irritable bowel syndrome,

diverticulosis, and hemorrhoids--and a 1-25 chance of being hit by

the killer, colon cancer.

 

All four are linked to a drastic reduction in the amount of fiber

people eat. Scientists call them diseases of Western Man. "

 

The Big Three disorders are practically unknown in under-developed

countries where people still stick to the high fiber-low fat diet

that our ancestors thrived on.

 

Recent studies indicate that this epidemic of gastrointestinal agony

can be reversed by putting more fiber back into the diet.

 

" lt is possible that if we eat a balanced diet, including an

adequate intake of fiber, " said Dr. Joseph Kirsner, a University of

Chicago gastroenterologist, " we can protect ourselves against these

three common disorders. "

 

" If through education of the individual and education of the

provider of foods, from the farmer to the manufacturer and the

distributor, we secure a slight but definite restructuring of the

diet of the Western World, we would go a long way toward reducing

the risk for cancer of the stomach and colon, " said Dr. John

Weisburger, of the New York-based American Health Foundation.

 

He continues, " Only now are scientists beginning to realize that the

diet of many Americans, which is high in animal and dairy fats, may

lead to man-made cancers. "

 

" The type of diet we consume today, and for that matter, its

preparation, may be a kind of diet for which we were not prepared,

from an evolutionary point of view, " said Dr. Ernst Wynder,

president of the American Health Foundation.

THE GREAT CANCER CONTROVERSY

 

Is it merely a fraud or the cure for the disease that's the scourge

of the '70's?

 

In January 1974 LaVeeta Vernon was admitted to an Oklahoma City

hospital for treatment of shingles, knots, and nodules hanging from

her neck. She also complained of a growth in her groin. Doctors

diagnosed an infection and prescribed antibiotics. They sent her

home. A few days later she returned with the same symptoms, and this

time the doctors diagnosed a nervous condition. They put her in an

ambulance and sent her to a psychiatric clinic.

 

When she arrived she was crying, so the psychiatrists immediately

ordered electric shock treatments. She remembered little about the

next three weeks. Still the nodules persisted and seemed to be

growing larger.

 

Finally she was admitted to University Hospital. Eight months after

her first complaint doctors diagnosed massive cancer of the bone

marrow, lymph glands, and spleen. The disease affected about 75

percent of her body.

 

Next came eight months of chemotherapy--severe drugs prescribed to

attack the cancer cells. The chemotherapy cost about $20,000, most

of it paid by Medicare. At the end of the eight months Mrs. Vernon's

weight had dropped from 140 to 106 pounds. She was suffering from

blood clots. Her husband pushed her around in a wheel chair. Her

doctor told her she would never walk again.

 

Then she heard about a cancer treatment called Laetrile, from her

sister in California. She tried to buy some at a local health store,

but was told that it was illegal.

 

Desperate, Don and LaVeeta Vernon took a vacation in Tijuana,

Mexico.

 

Clinica Del Mar is one of the three locations in the border towns

where visiting cancer patients can buy Laetrile. Run by Dr. Ernesto

Contreras, the clinic treats more than 100 cancer patients a day.

Laetrile is legal in Mexico (and also Japan, Germany, and 20 other

countries). In a renovated warehouse on a back street in Tijuana,

Mexican workers grind up apricot kernels into a fine, white powder

that is rich in cyanide. From the powder they produce yellow tablets

and pale serum.

 

According to the theories of Laetrile's patron saint, Dr. Ernest T.

Krebs, the cyanide in Laetrile attacks cancer cells directly,

whereas normal cells contain an enzyme that neutralizes the cyanide.

Result: THE CANCER CELLS DIE.

 

" It's a superb biological principle, " commented Dr. Frank Rauscher

of the American Cancer Society. " I wish it worked. "

 

LaVeeta Vernon wished for all her might that it would work.

 

Three weeks of treatments at the Clinica Del Mar cost her more than

$2,000 in cash (no checks are accepted.)

 

Shortly after she returned to Oklahoma she was able to leave her

wheelchair and walk. She stopped her chemotherapy and continued to

take smuggled Laetrile tablets for the next six months. She says

that her doctor told her, " I have never seen a case like yours.

Something is happening, I don't know what. " When she admitted her

use of the forbidden Laetrile, her doctor refused to see her

anymore.

 

In May 1976 LaVeeta Vernon entered the hospital once more to submit

to a complete battery of cancer tests. The results showed the

presence of cancer cells, but they had become dormant. She joined a

growing number of Americans determined to fight the dictates of the

medical establishment.

 

Did Laetrile cure LaVeeta Vernon? What is this miracle powder? Why

has the medical profession refused to pursue its promise?

 

Dr. Vincent DeVita, clinical director of the Stoan-Kettering

Institute for Cancer Research, the nation's premier cancer research

organization, explains stories like LaVeeta Vernon's (and there are

many) as example of the " placebo " (or " sugar pill " ) effect. In other

words, the patient responds emotionally to what he or she believes

to be a cancer cure--and actually experiences a remission of the

disease, or relief from pain.

 

The medical establishment has aligned itself firmly against

Laetrile. The American Cancer Society lumps Laetrile with 71 other

unproven methods of cancer management and vigorously opposes any

program to legalize it. The American Medical Association takes a

similar view. So does the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and

Welfare. On the Mar. 31, 1974, broadcast of " 60 Minutes " , Dr.

Rauscher, who was then director of HEW's National Cancer Institute,

told CBS reporter Mike Wallace, " I would certainly not turn off

Laetrile if it had an iota of activity that we could pinpoint.

Unfortunately, there's no evidence at all. "

 

All the research organizations agree that laetrile is harmless. The

extract of apricot kernels does no damage to the body. But the

medical establishment argues that patients who use Laetrile would

ignore the more traditional treatments of surgery, chemotherapy, and

radiation. They also point to the huge profits made by the Laetrile

clinics in Mexico. " There are few things that come lower, " mutters

Dr. Robert Taylor, executive director of the National Cancer

Institute of Canada.

 

Despite their misgivings, officials of the U.S. National Cancer

Institute yielded to the pressure of Laetrile's proponents and

supported tests at various research facilities.

 

Sloan-Kettering first ran tests on Laetrile in 1973. The early tests

indicated that Laetrile did, indeed, seem to inhibit the growth of

malignant tumors in mice. But the researchers were unconvinced. They

tried again. In July 1975 they released the results of those final

studies, which they said, failed to confirm the early tests. The

verdict: Laetrile had no effect on reducing the spread of cancer in

mice. Sloan-Kettering said it would discontinue further studies on

Laetrile and concentrate on more promising lines of research.

 

The issue seemed to be dead.

 

Then on August 23, 1975, Mike Culbert, editor of The Choice, the

newsletter of a California group called The Committee for Freedom of

Choice in Cancer Therapy, opened his morning mail to discover an

anonymous letter typed on Sloan-Kettering stationery. The letter

began:

 

" Here are some of the results of Sloan-Kettering's continuing

experiments with Laetrile. Due to political pressure these results

are being suppressed. Please do your best to bring these important

findings to the attention of the people. "

 

The package contained test results that seemed to indicate that at

least seven series of tests on mice showed positive results for

Laetrile. The work was purportedly done by Dr. Kanematsu Sugiura at

Sloan-Kettering. Dr. Sugiura later confirmed the results.

 

Why had the tests been suppressed? Who is telling the truth about

Laetrile? Is it beneficial or not? And why the renewed interest in a

cure dismissed by the medical establishment years ago?

 

Last year, cancer patient Glen Rutherford appealed to the U.S.

District Court in Oklahoma City to allow him to use Laetrile in his

treatment. In October 1976, Federal Judge Luther Bohanon issued an

injunction prohibiting the Food and Drug Administration from

interfering with Rutherford's right to import Laetrile for his own

treatment. At the same time, Bohanon ordered the FDA to compile an

administrative record to prove that it has jurisdiction to ban

interstate shipment of the substance. (Proponents of Laetrile

believe it is a substance and not a drug, thereby taking the

material out of the hands of Federal authorities).

 

In response to the court order, the FDA announced on February 17th

that it invited public testimony on the legal and scientific status

of Laetrile. The FDA began holding open hearings in Kansas City on

May 2nd. Officials for that organization have announced that the

proceeding is being undertaken " solely because the agency was

directed to do so by the Court of Appeals. "

 

In a comfortable old house in northwest Washington, D.C., lives a 73-

year-old retired biochemist by the name of Dr. Dean Burk. Today he

spends much of his time painting or playing Bach on his harpsichord.

But when he retired in 1974 he had completed 17 years as chief

chemist of the National Cancer Institute. His credentials are

impeccable. All told, he spent 35 years in various capacities as a

National Cancer Institute chemist. He was a professor at Cornell

University Medical College and at George Washington University. He

has published more than 250 articles in respected scientific

journals. He has received numerous awards and honors. " I have no ax

to grind, " he says calmly, setting into an easy chair. " I am retired

with a good pension from the government. I have no need for money.

I've had all the power and prestige I ever want, I've thrown away my

clocks and calendars. "

 

He paused to light a cigar.

 

" l suppose I've tested Laetrile on more than 5,000 mice. I know more

about Laetrile than anyone else in the world. "

 

" Does it work? " I asked.

 

" In general, its as good as anything else. And it has the tremendous

advantage of being nontoxic. All the drugs used for chemotherapy are

poisons. They produce harmful side effects. They also lower the

body's resistance to infection. Laetrile is not a drug. It is a

vitamin. At least five well-established laboratories in three

countries of the world have produced definite evidence of anti-

cancer activity. One is the Southern Research Center of Birmingham,

Ala., which was programmed by the National Cancer Institute to make

such studies. Its data indicated overwhelmingly positive results

under appropriate experimental conditions. "

 

" Why, then, hasn't the medical establishment promoted its use? "

 

" They're not interested in finding cures. I'm sorry, but they're

not, " Burk replied.

 

" What are they interested in? "

 

" Your guess is as good as mine, " Burk said. " People find it

difficult to believe, but a few years back they would have found it

difficult to believe anything as sinister as Watergate. I've read

enough Shakespeare to know that human nature has no limits in any

direction. "

 

Dr. Burk explained that Laetrile therapy has grown despite the

opposition of the organized medical profession. Desperate visits to

Tijuana are not necessary. " Anyone who wants Laetrile can get it, "

he asserts. " The Cancer Control Society in Los Angeles puts out a

list of sources. A lot of health food stores sell it openly under

different names such as amygdalin or vitamin B-17. Two thousand

American physicians prescribe it regularly for their patients (one

is Dr. Larry McDonald, a urologist who is U.S. Representative from

Georgia's 7th District.) There are 50,000 people in America using

Laetrile right now. They do not ignore traditional cancer

treatments. Anyone with cancer wants to try all approaches. "

 

" But what about the 'quacks', the clinics in Mexico charging

thousands of dollars? "

 

" If Laetrile was used more openly in America there would be no need

for those clinics. And if you want to discuss fees, the cost of

traditional cancer treatments are far greater. There are no bigger

quacks than the people in the National Cancer Institute who take

public money and don't do their best to find cancer therapies. They

are the supreme examples of quacks. "

 

" But why? Why would they do such a thing? "

 

" The opponents of Laetrile talk mostly of ignorance. Some out of

malice. "

 

" What do they have to gain? "

 

Dr. Burk smiled. " No one can read another person's mind. But when an

organization gets locked into a position it finds it difficult to

change direction. The National Cancer Institute and the American

Cancer Society have been fighting Laetrile for years. They would be

embarrassed to admit their error. "

 

" Let's talk more about money. Wouldn't the drug companies be able to

make a lot of money by selling Laetrile on the open market? "

 

" No, " Dr. Burk said. " Laetrile is not patented. It is in the public

domain. Anyone could make it and sell it cheaply. "

 

" Are the drug companies afraid? "

 

" They keep a low profile. But they are big supporters of the

American Cancer Society and the American Medical Association. You

have to draw your own conclusions.'

 

Dr. Burk re-lit his cigar.

 

" What, " I asked, " would you do if you learned that you had cancer? "

 

" The first thing I would do is to take about 50 apricot kernels each

day, thrown them into my coffee grinder, and swallow the

powder. . . "

 

Dr. Edward Shook states in his advanced book on herbs that there are

over one thousand cures for cancer. This is speaking on the subject

of feeding the body and rebuilding it in order to overcome the toxic

conditions of cancer.

 

There are many other procedures to use in speeding up the

elimination of cancer cells from the body. A procedure to start with

is " Dr. Christopher's Natural Routine. "

 

 

DR. CHRISTOPHER'S NATURAL ROUTINE

 

The patient may have suffered for a long period of time. Because of

the years of improper eating, his body is now suffering from

malnutrition. Not the amount of food that has been eaten matters,

but the quality and how well it has been assimilated. We accept lots

of food into our bodies, but only that which has been properly

assimilated can be utilized for rebuilding and repairing cells and

malfunction areas. Proper assimilation is acquired by " drinking the

solid foods and chewing the liquid food. " This is an old and true

axiom. We should thoroughly chew the solid foods, mixing saliva with

them until the food becomes a liquid; then we drink it. The liquid

foods must be swished (or chewed) in the mouth, then swallowed. The

saliva thoroughly mixed with the foods is the key that opens up the

doors of digestion. Without mixing saliva with the food, the balance

of the digestive juices are not activated for good assimilation. By

gulping, " inhaling " or bolting the food down without properly mixing

sativa with it, we only get eight to ten percent of its value. By

properly chewing we can raise this to forty or forty-five percent.

The balance is generally cellulose or indigestible fiber. We not

only receive far better health, but also save money. Food is one of

our largest expenditures, and if we can get four to six times better

assimilation and use four to six times less food we are saving a lot

of money! This simple method alone, which gives better assimilation,

can promise superior health and a happier life. With one fourth or

one third of the food we have been used to eating, we can receive

much more power and energy. Remember a large part of your success

will come from chewing both solid foods and liquid foods.

 

 

FIRST WEEK OF WHOLISTIC AID

 

FOOD. Many people feel that without three large meals of solid food

each day they will shrivel up, starve and blow away. Dr. N.W.

Walker, in his book RAW VEGETABLE JUICES, and Johanna Brandt, in her

book THE GRAPE CURE, will both assure you that the juices alone will

sustain you in health for a long time while healing.

 

The following suggestions are for an old chronic condition, not an

acute one requiring emergency treatments. For the first week, drink

as much fresh carrot juice as desired. Some people can be satisfied

with a quart, others up to a gallon or more. Drink, by chewing, an

eight-ounce glass or more each hour during the day for six days the

first week.

 

Drink one cup or more of slippery elm gruel each day. The liquid can

be as thin or thick as desired. With this herb you take the powder

and carefully mix enough liquid with it to form a paste, because it

does not mix easily. Then thin it to the consistency desired. A

little honey can be added if you like. Drink also one cup or more of

comfrey leaf tea each day. Twenty minutes before of after drinking

the juice, tea, or gruel you may drink as much steam-distilled water

as you desire.

 

HERBAL FOODS. One cup or more or 2 capsules 3 times a day of this

cell building tea, Complete Tissue & Bone Formula, should be used

for the rebuilding of cells in flesh, cartilage and bones. Also take

one cup three times a day or 2 capsules 3 times a day of Blood

Stream Formula as a blood purifier.

 

Each day, with some of the liquid being used, take the following:

 

Two or more Lower Bowel Formula, three times a day for regularity,

as solids are not now cleansing the bowels.

 

Two or more pancreas aid, Pancreas Formula, three times a day, to

assist the bowel aid.

 

Two or more Herbal Caciam Formula capsules three times a day for a

good herbal calcium.

 

THREE OIL MASSAGE. The first two days the patient should be massaged

with castor oil, using a clockwise circular motion from the top of

the head to the bottom of the feet, always working toward the heart.

The next two days use olive oil, and the last two days of the week

massage with wheat germ oil.

 

By using the skin as a filtering agent the castor oil cleans and

flushes the skin; and goes into the blood stream, aiding in the

removal of mucus and toxins from the inner body. The olive oil is a

complete food itself and will penetrate into the body to feed and

rebuild muscles, flesh and the entire system. Wheat germ oil is a

healing oil, high in vitamin E, valuable in rejuvenating the body.

 

On the seventh day rest the patient, using no foods, herbs or juice,

only steam-distilled water, as much as is desired.

 

SUNBATH. Immediately after the massage, each day take a sunbath in

the nude and not through glass but in the direct sun. Only allow two

minutes on the front and two minutes on the back the first day. Then

add two minutes front and back each day, but no more. In six days

you will be up to twelve minutes front and twelve minutes back. Do

not sunbathe between eleven in the morning and one o'clock in the

afternoon, that is, not at high noon. If it is a cloudy or cold day,

use a sunlamp, but do not allow a burn.

 

The sun is the world's greatest doctor but must be used by building

up the exposed time in the sun gradually so as to not burn. Do not

be alarmed by articles in national publications each spring, warning

people to avoid sunbathing, saying it is cancer-forming. The sun

cannot cause cancer. If you do not gradually increase the use of it,

but lie in the sun for long lengths of time and burn, certainly it

is dangerous for it will cause a severe toxic burn, but it is not

cancer forming. If cancer is already in the bloodstream and the

body, the sun can ripen it and bring it to the surface, but that is

the only way skin cancer can result from the sun.

 

Ask any aborigine, Indian or member from any tribal area where only

loin cloth, if anything, is worn. There is no cancer, although their

bare skin is exposed constantly to the sun the year around. If any

of them develop skin cancer, he would have been eating the civilized

(?) man's food for a sufficient period of time to get the body into

a toxic condition.

 

John N. Ott's book, HEALTH AND LIGHT, will explain further the

benefits of healing with light. Here this research scientist tells

how natural (sun) light is a food or nutrient and can cure many ills

and keep us well, while the wrong kind (artificial light) can make

us ill. You'll read how certain ailments respond to a daily

treatment of full spectrum light.

 

BATHS. Each day the patient should have a hot bath followed by a

cold shower or tub. No soap should be used for the bath unless it is

a good biodegradable body cleanser. Each day before the bath give a

dry skin brushing (always toward the heart) using a natural bristle

brush (not nylon). Sixty percent of all of our breathing is done

through the skin, so it must be kept clean with water and brushing.

The skin is our " second set of kidneys " and must be kept in good

condition.

 

CLOTHING. We should use only natural fibers for the clothes we wear,

and also for our bed covers. Synthetic cloth does not breathe; and

we need all the oxygen obtainable, the " breath of life. " Do not

strangle or choke the body with cloth that is a barrier tO oxygen.

Do not use synthetic cloth for straining herbal drinks or for

fomentations and bandaging. Use only natural fibers, such as cotton,

wool, linen or silk.

 

HERBAL FOMENTATIONS. We use an herbal fomentation each night of the

six days of the week. lt should cover the head area (hair line),

down the spine, all the way down to the end of the tailbone. Make

the cap fit down to the ears (or use a cotton or wool skull cap) and

stitch a flannel strip four or five inches wide down the back over

the spine area. After wetting the fomentation cloth with BF & C, so

that it is not too drippy, cover it with a plastic over the head

(shower cap, etc.) and a strip down the spine. Thus the moisture

will go into the body and not the bedding and mattress. the

fomentation down the back can be held into place with sweat shirt

and shorts.

 

To aid the motor nerve and spinal cord, use our Ear & Nerbe Formula

combination, inserting with an eye dropper four to six drops of oil

of garlic and four to six drops of Herb Tincture into each ear six

nights a week. Plug the ears with cotton overnight and on the

seventh day flush out the ears with half and half warm apple cider

vinegar and distilled water. Repeat this each week during the

program.

 

ZONAL FOOT MASSAGE (REFLEXOLOGY). If possible, use zonal therapy on

the feet three times a week, leaving one day in between such Monday,

Wednesday, Friday, or Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Zonal therapy

will greatly speed up the program. You may find a number of good

books on zone therapy at libraries or health food stores.

 

 

SECOND WEEK

 

The second week will be the same as the first except, instead of

fresh carrot juice, substitute apple juice. Freshly made apple

juice, of course, best. If you do not have a juicer or fresh apples

are not available, use a bottled apple juice that has had nothing

added. Used canned only in an emergency. Do not use frozen juice, as

nearly all frozen juices have additives. During this second week use

the three-oil massages, sunbaths, zonal therapy, fomentations, etc.

With the sunbaths add two minutes front and back onto the final

total of the last week.

 

On the day of fast there may be some physical reactions because you

have reached a cleansing cycle. Toxic poisons break up in the body,

accumulating for disposal and causing some upset. Do not be alarmed,

for with some people it is more pronounced than with others. This

same cyclical reaction can happen in any healing program in the

third week, seventh week, seventh month and seventh year. The longer

spasms occur in the major cycles and can be more pronounced, by far,

than the minor cycles. If a cleansing crisis occurs during this

short time, be happy with it and smile through the tears; for it

shows the program is working well.

 

 

THE THIRD WEEK

 

Again repeat the full complete program, except instead of carrot or

apple juice, during the third week use grape juice. Freshly made is

best from dark grapes (concord preferred), juice from organically

grown grapes found in some health stores, or any of the standard

brands in bottles such as Welch's, Church's, etc. Be sure in the

bottled juice there are no additives (preservatives or sugar). It

can be pasteurized, but not frozen.

 

 

THE FOURTH WEEK AND ON

 

Continue to rotate the three juices each week as before. You could

live on the program for a long period of time, as you are taking

rapid-healing and wholesome food. If you desire more solid food,

just add one solid meal each day. This meal will consist of a good

fresh vegetable combination salad (as many raw fresh vegetables as

you desire). If a salad dressing is desired, use a natural one, such

as one made with fresh olive oil, apple cider vinegar or lemon

juice, and if desired, a small amount of honey, grated fresh onion

and garlic to taste, savory salad herbs, coarse freshly ground black

pepper, etc.

 

A small serving of presoaked, low-heated grain may also be added.

This is done by taking the whole UNCRACKED grain (wheat, rye,

millet, buckwheat, barley or whole oat groats) and soaking it with

distilled water. Soak in a cool place so it won't sour, up to twenty

hours depending on the hardness of the grain. Then low-heat it in a

stainless steel or Pyrex double boiler for twelve to fourteen hours.

Use a food thermometer and do not allow the temperature to rise over

130 F. If you use a crockpot, equip it with a dimmer switch or some

other type of control so it will not overheat.

 

In whole live grain you have nearly every known vitamin and mineral

known to mankind, but live food must not be killed by overheating,

 

Professor Arnold Ehret and the Rodale Press have both advised

against the use of grain because of its acidity. In its hard state,

grain is generally pH 5. By using presoaked, low-heated grain we

raise it from the objectionable pH 5 to 7 pH which is easily

assimilated.

 

The salad and grains must be chewed thoroughly until they become

liquid, before swallowing. These additions can be used in the

healing routine as long as is desired. On this type of food a person

can live to a ripe, healthy old age. As the individual improves in

health a larger variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and

seeds can be used. Later all the lentils, beans and harder seed

types with longer soaking and more low-heating can be added. With

these, and lowheated grains, delicious casseroles may be created.

Potatoes, steamed or slow baked, using skin and all, are a very good

food. Use of them fresh olive oil and coarse ground black pepper

and, if desired, chives and/or other herbal seasoning.

 

Use no salt, sugar, eggs, meats, bread, milk or milk products. In a

short time you will find the hidden hunger will leave by using the

food recommended. The cravings will disappear and you will feel a

cozy, unbloated, satisfied fullness that will bring ease and peace.

 

 

BREATHING WITH DEPTH

 

The Lord put into us the breath of life, but we have to keep it

there. Shallow breathing is not much life, but full breathing is the

full breath of life. Learn to breathe deeply, as is taught in yoga,

to get the breath of life into the upper lobes of the lungs.

 

 

POWER OF LIFE

 

Walk or jog barefooted on the lawn to get rid of the static

electricity in the body and to allow new electrical vibration to

come from the atmosphere. This is pure universal electricity that

operates all the parts and organs of the body. It cannot come if

static electricity is present, which should be grounded through the

feet to keep a continual flow on hand.

 

After we have the bowel cleansed, and the blood stream cleaned, we

now have the patients on live or whole-raw or low-heated food.

Webster's Dictionary defines wholesome as: with the life therein, as

in its original state. The word wholesome goes against all of the

world's general principles today of " processing food " because herbs

in their wholesome state means just that--nothing taken away,

cooked, or added. Herbs mean, of course, fruits, vegetables, grains,

nuts and seeds, as well as the medicinal herbs; and when they are in

their wholesome state they are beneficial. But when they have been

processed, we are in trouble. It is the processed and sugared foods

and drinks that are causing more cases of cancer than can be

imagined. They are making a world of weak people and especially a

weak nation here in America, because we have had the wealth, but not

the brains, to go back to wholesome foods, living off " Mother Earth "

as was intended. We buy from the store shelf processed foods that

are dead, and death comes with dead food. Life is generated by live

food.

 

So we advise eating fruits, nuts and vegetables and keeping them as

raw and as live as possible. Grains may need to be low-heated, and

these grains are so important in their " whole " state--not taking out

just a little here in the way of a vitamin or a little here in the

form of a mineral. That whole grain is so valuable in so many ways

with vitamins and natural estrogens and hormones and minerals in the

proper proportions (as well as the much needed bulk). When mankind

is properly nurtured for generations, these inherent weakness and

diseases will be gone

 

The wholistic principle of renewing the body is to use any

procedure, as well as proper foods, that is helpful (instead of

harmful) to the body in any way and here we have given just a few

suggestions. Use the wholistic procedure to offset the toxic

conditions of a sickly body. Here is the answer to helping an

unhealthy body bounce back to a renewed condition of good health.
