About the Authors

Frank Cousineau is a California-based researcher, author, and consultant in the field of
alternative health. He is also the president of two non-profit organizations devoted to informing
cancer patients about effective alternative therapies and helping them take advantage of those
therapies.
Franks interest in alternative health was aroused 35 years ago when his mother developed
cancer for the third time in 17 years. The futile attempts of his mothers doctors to arrest the
disease frustrated Frank, and led him to launch a lifelong quest to identify effective natural
alternatives to conventional cancer treatment.
Over the last 35 years, Frank has visited 6 countries and logged more than 150,000 miles to
investigate dozens of treatments and clinics. In the process, hes been among the first researchers
to inform Americans about health breakthroughs that have improved and saved lives.
His years of research have made him a prized consultant to physicians and clinics seeking
information about alternative and complementary cancer treatments. He has also organized and
conducted more than 80 consumer tours of North American alternative cancer clinics. Many
cancer patients who join the tours return to the clinics and are successfully treated.
When Frank isnt traveling the world seeking out new treatments and first-rate clinics, he lives
in Modesto, California with his wife Chayo, and enjoys spending time with his children and
grandchildren. Frank and Chayo also run Life Support, which supplies nutritional supplements
to physicians.

Andrew Scholberg is a freelance writer living in Chicago, Illinois, as well as a devotee of

alternative medicine. He was the defendant in a landmark First Amendment case before the
Supreme Court that was ultimately decided in his favor. In his spare time, Andrew is an
adventurous outdoorsman.

Chapter One
The secret American clinics that defeat cancer
In spite of fierce persecution
to put his hands behind his back so they could
handcuff him. Because he couldnt post bond till
the next morning, he spent the night in jail.

Few Americans know this, but a few hidden

clinics in America are routinely helping patients
get rid of cancer even hopeless and terminal cancer. In this Special Report Im going to
tell you all about these rare clinics that only a few
people know about.

Im not making this up. The government only

pulls such Gestapo-like ruses when they really
want to harass someone.

Youre probably wondering why this information is secret and why hardly any of these clinics
advertise that they can defeat cancer. I can tell
you exactly why these special clinics are hidden
and rare.

Dr. Privitera ended up going to jail for doing

his utmost to help his cancer patients. During his
jail time he did hard labor on a road gang like
the Georgia chain gangs you might have seen in
the movies. This injustice was too much even for
then-Governor Jerry Brown of California. Brown
pardoned Dr. Privitera after hed worked 56 days
on the road gang.

The shocking answer is this: We no longer

have health freedom in this country. Maybe you
think America is still a free country. Thats what
Dr. James Privitera, M.D., used to think till July,
1974, when 15 government agents burst into his
office and arrested him. They charged him with
the crime of using non-standard methods to
cure cancer!

Today, more than 30 years later, Dr. Privitera

is still helping desperate patients get rid of their
cancers and other diseases. But to avoid getting
into trouble with the government, he doesnt treat
cancer. Nor does he advertise that he treats cancer. Nor does he mention cancer on his Website.
Instead, he treats the patient. When his patients
health improves, the cancer disappears.

The 15 agents didnt accuse him of harming

any patient. On the contrary, they charged him
with selling Laetrile and other substances in the
diagnosis, cure, and alleviation of cancer. In
short, he was arrested for using nutrition to help
cancer patients.

Youll read exactly how Dr. Privitera treats his

patients in the chapter about him.
Dr. Privitera isnt the only doctor whos
suffered government persecution. Dr. David
Steenblock, D.O., has been harassed. So has
Dr. Renee Welhouse, N.D. Most of the doctors in
this report have been persecuted or hassled. Most
of them dont advertise cancer treatment on their
Websites for obvious reasons.

He beat that charge when a municipal court

judge declared the law unconstitutional.

Dr. Privitera, please put your

hands behind your back
But the government wasnt through with him.
On October 4, 1974, the police called Dr. Privitera
at 1:00 a.m. and told him his office had been
broken into. He went down there immediately to
inspect the damage. But there was no damage. Nor
had there been any break-in. Instead, Dr. Privitera
found two government agents who ordered him

Why Americas
best-known holistic doctor
doesnt accept cancer patients
One of the doctors I interviewed for this
Special Report is Julian Whitaker, M.D., the

rather die than undergo one more round of it.

She kept sliding downhill until the cancer finally
killed her.

founder of the Whitaker Wellness Institute. Dr.

Whitaker, whos probably the best-known holistic
doctor in America, doesnt accept cancer patients
because of the hostile political climate surrounding cancer treatment. Instead, he refers cancer
patients elsewhere. He told me he doesnt want
to practice medicine with a bulls-eye painted on
his back.

Fortunately, if you or your loved ones ever

get cancer, you dont have to go through the
same drastic, painful, and futile treatment my
Mom suffered through.
If you ordered this Special Report because
youre seeking hope for a loved one or for
yourself, Im going to give you a bright ray
of hope.

In this Special Report youll learn the name of

the alternative clinic to which Dr. Whitaker refers
cancer patients.
Im going to tell you about alternative cancer
treatments that are hard to find in America. These
treatments produce extraordinary recoveries
from cancer. Some of these recoveries are so
spectacular that some people call them miracles.
And Im going to tell you which American doctors
stand at the very top of the medical profession
worldwide in the treatment of cancer.

After my Mom died of cancer I embarked on

a quest to find out if something couldve been
done to save her. I didnt want to see any of my
other loved ones waste away and die of this
horrible, dreaded disease.

I believe the information

in this report would have
saved my Mom

Let me explain why I wrote this Special

Report.

My quest led me to become involved in the

alternative health movement. For more than
30 years, I've volunteered my time with two
California-based not-for-profit organizations that
assist cancer patients and provide information
about alternative cancer treatments.

You see, my own Mom died of cancer. She

struggled with it on and off from 1956 till
her death in 1973. This was an agonizing ordeal
not just for Mom but also for our whole family.
In 1956 the doctors recommended a panhysterectomy for her uterine cancer. In other
words, they wanted to remove her uterus and
both ovaries. She underwent this drastic
operation, and she seemed to be well.

Through my volunteer work Ive become

friends with some of the finest physicians in
America and in the world doctors who are
turning around hopeless and terminal
cancers.

But her cancer snuck back 10 years later,

appearing as full-blown colon cancer. The doctors
again recommended drastic surgery: the removal
of a large portion of her colon. After that ordeal
she was never the same again.

In fact, if Id had the information Im about to

share with you when my Mom learned she had
cancer, I believe shed still be alive or she
wouldve died years later of old age instead.
I know the alternative doctors scientific
insights, methods, clinics, treatment options, and
track records. I have more connections with
alternative cancer doctors and clinics in America
and abroad than perhaps anyone else in the
alternative health movement.

Chemo caused my Mom

to retch so violently she said,
No more chemo, ever again!
Then in 1973 the doctors told her she had an
advanced case of cancer. They recommended
a form of chemo thats still widely used today.
The chemo didnt just make her vomit; it made
her retch violently. It was so harsh she said shed

In this Special Report, Ill recommend only

the doctors and clinics I know to be outstanding.

The medical establishment

is lying about your
cancer treatment options

Let me explain the initials. M.D. stands for

Medical Doctor, of course. N.D. stands for
Naturopathic Doctor, D.O. stands for Doctor of
Osteopathy, and D.C. stands for Doctor of
Chiropractic.

You see, I have a passion for alternative health

and a passion for the truth. Not long after my
Moms death I discovered that the American
medical establishment isnt telling Americans the
truth about cancer and the treatment options.

Some pros and cons of your

cancer treatment options
Let me summarize your four basic treatment
options for cancer.

Basically, the American medical establishment

offers three treatment choices: surgery, radiation,
and chemotherapy. In other words, you have to
choose between getting cut, burned, or poisoned.

1. The conventional treatment: surgery,

radiation, and chemotherapy
2. The conventional treatment PLUS the
mind-body methods of Dr. O. Carl
Simonton, M.D., which we describe in the
chapter about him

But as Ill show you in this Special Report,

many other effective treatment options exist. And
unlike the conventional treatments the best
cancer treatments deal with the root causes of
the cancer.

3. Non-toxic alternative (holistic) treatments that build up your immune system

and get rid of toxins in your body

In my opinion and that of the most successful

alternative cancer doctors, a tumor is only a symptom that something in your body has gone haywire.
Thats why tumors so often grow back after
conventional treatments by American doctors.

4. A complementary approach that includes

both conventional and holistic therapies
If you choose option number one, its true
that you might survive. As Dr. Julian Whitaker,
M.D., told us, radiation and chemotherapy are
dangerous placebos. Placebos sometimes
work, but the risks of toxic therapies are obvious.
They can certainly kill the cancer. But they
sometimes kill the patient, too.
If youre thinking about surgery, you should
know that cancer surgeries carry a greater risk
of certain complications than do similar surgeries
on patients who dont have cancer. A cancer
patient incurs at least twice the risk of postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and more
than three times the risk of fatal pulmonary
embolism than non-cancer patients who have
similar procedures.
Option number two gives you a much better
chance of survival than option number one.
And statistics prove this through sound scientific
studies, as youll see in the chapter about Dr.
Simontons mind-body methods.

For more than 30 years Ive seen people come

to alternative clinics and their cancers disappear. The treatments they receive have been
proven to help. These former cancer patients might
die 10 or 20 years later of cardiovascular disease
or something else, but their cancer is GONE!
My colleague Andrew Scholberg and I
interviewed the following doctors:
Dr. Renee Welhouse, N.D., Ph.D.
Dr. Richard Olson, D.C.
Dr. David Steenblock, D.O.
Dr. Julian Whitaker, M.D.
Dr. Jim Privitera, M.D.
Dr. Ferre Akbarpour, M.D.
Dr. O. Carl Simonton, M.D.
Dr. Tim Birdsall, N.D.
Dr. Donna Abfall, N.D.

I believe options three and four give cancer

treatment program.

patients an excellent chance of survival. No clinic,

doctor, or course of treatment can guarantee that
every cancer patient will survive. There is always
a risk of failure and the patient must be prepared
to assume that risk if he or she decides to try the
treatments described in the coming chapters.
But the information in this Special Report can help
put the odds in your favor and give you a better
quality of life as well.

The Wellhouse Center has had astonishing

success in using non-toxic therapies ONLY
no chemo, drugs, or radiation whatsoever. So has
Dr. Privitera. Dr. Steenblock has, too, though he
isnt opposed to prescribing a drug to, say, bring a
cancer-causing infection under control.

How much do the various cancer treatments

cost?

Some of the other doctors and clinics we

profile in this Special Report use an integrative,
complementary approach, which we might call
the best of both worlds. The complementary
approach, which uses alternative AND conventional therapies, is remarkably effective. A
surprising benefit is that good nutritional support
enables patients to go through chemo and
radiation with fewer problems. The same is true
of Dr. Simontons mind-body methods.

If you choose non-toxic treatments, alternative

clinics usually charge $10,000-$20,000. Medical
insurance generally doesnt pay for such non-toxic
treatments.
If you choose conventional treatments, your
medical bills will hit six figures so fast itll make
your head spin. It costs about $350,000 to die of
cancer in America, by the time you add up all the
costs of surgery, radiation, chemo, hospitalization,
and so on. But insurance usually does pay for
conventional treatments.

All of the holistic doctors we profile in this

Special Report have a profound respect for the
healing power of the human body. One of the
greatest physicians of all time, Paracelsus
(1493-1541), advised:

Its puzzling that insurance companies arent

willing to cover less expensive treatments that are
more effective. Perhaps theyre uninformed about
the alternative treatments.

Follow nature, and she will be your instructor.

The ways of nature are simple, and she does
not require any complicated prescriptions. The
invisible forces in the body are powerful and may
be guided by the imagination and propelled by
the will.

Youre responsible for your decisions about

health care, and no one can make them for you.
You can call your own shots. But no matter what
option or clinic you choose, after youve read the

Chapter Two
The Doctor Who Cures the Incurables
Weve seen patients go into full remission with aggressive, stage 4 cancers, and
we see continued positive responses in others with chemo-resistant cancer.
~ Dr. James Forsythe
A series of intravenous treatments known as
Forsythe Immune Therapy. Its a proprietary
blend of vitamins, minerals, salicinium (a
homeopathic medicine), and homeopathic
benzaldehyde

Seventeen-year-old Valerie M. from Texas was

pretty much on her deathbed in 2004, according
to James Forsythe, M.D., when her family brought
her to his cancer clinic in Reno, Nevada. She
had Ewings sarcoma, a deadly cancer that arises
in bone.
Valerie had been treated with conventional
cancer therapies at the finest cancer hospitals in
Texas, but to no avail. Her doctors gave up on her.
They told her to go home and get her affairs in
order because nothing more can be done.
As her cancer spread, both of Valeries lungs
developed large nodules. And there was a big hole
in the left side of her pelvis. She could hardly
walk. Her left leg was swollen. She was in a lot
of pain.
Dr. Forsythe offered Valeries family hope and
said hed do his best to reverse her cancer.
After just two weeks of alternative cancer
therapy, Valerie could walk around without
difficulty. By the time she got home, her lesions of
the lung had disappeared. Her doctors in Texas
were flabbergasted.
At this writing, Valerie is 21 years old and
doing fine. Her astonishing and seemingly
miraculous cure was featured in a video called
The Incurables.
How did Dr. Forsythe cure this incurable
17-year-old? He used three main therapies:

A low-dose regimen of chemo. But unlike

conventional high-dose chemo, which hits the
patient like a sledgehammer, Dr. Forsythes
low-dose regimen doesnt cause side effects
such as nausea, hair loss, or low energy. Nor
does it destroy the patients immune system.

Dr. Forsythe is a rare bird among

oncologists: hes double-boarded
You might wonder how a medical doctor
specializing in oncology can use homeopathic
treatments. After all, youd think that an
oncologist is limited to such treatments as
surgery, radiation, and chemo.
The answer might surprise you: Dr. Forsythe
is perhaps the only physician in America whos a
board-certified oncologist and a board-certified
doctor of homeopathy. In other words, hes double-boarded. This gives him the qualifications
and the freedom to push the envelope by using
conventional medicine or natural medicine or
both. Dr. Forsythe often uses both, as in Valeries
case. He calls this integrative medicine.
Not everyone chooses conventional treatment
before homeopathic treatment. The Queen of
England, for example, can afford any kind of
medical treatment she wants. But when she
gets sick she sees a homeopath rather than a
conventional doctor.

A patented natural food called Poly-MVA.

Incidentally, Poly-MVA is recommended in
one of our Special Reports, Natural Cancer
Remedies that Work. (See www.naturalcancerremedies.com.)

A positive response means the patient falls into

one of these three categories: (1) no cancer can be
detected (full remission), (2) the tumor is shrinking
(partial remission), or (3) the tumor is neither
growing nor shrinking (stable disease).

Later in this chapter Ill tell you how Poly-MVA

and Dr. Forsythes homeopathic preparations
work. If you want more detailed information and if
you want to see video interviews with incurable
cancer patients who were cured by Dr. Forsythes
homeopathic salicinium treatment, log onto
www.salicinium.com.

A cancer patient in a state of stable disease is

no longer dying of cancer; the immune system has
arrested the tumor.

Dr. Forsythes study proves his

method beats conventional chemo!

As an added bonus, Dr. Forsythes methods

have hardly any side effects. Compare that to the
miserable two percent survival rate from conventional high-dose chemo with terrible side effects.

As sensational as her cure was, Dr. Forsythe

knows that many conventional doctors would
just shrug off Valeries case. Some would say,
She was lucky. Others would say, Its a case of
spontaneous remission, which means about the
same thing.
Thats why Dr. Forsythe is doing a study of
the effectiveness of his therapies. Hes compiling
statistics that compare the results of his integrative cancer treatments with the results of
conventional chemotherapy.
Take 100 cases of tough, stage-4 cancers
the kind of cancers usually considered incurable.
If all 100 use conventional high-dose chemotherapy, which is the standard of cancer treatment in
America today, how many do you think would still
be alive after five years?
The answer is two. Thats right. Just two out
of a hundred two percent. This is not only a
miserable result, but also 98 percent died in sheer
misery with vomiting, hair loss, nausea, and
so on.
Going back to 2004, when Dr. Forsythe started
his ongoing study of his integrative method
including Forsythe Immune Therapy, he has treated over 200 stage-4 cancer patients. Unlike some
establishment cancer researchers, Dr. Forsythe
doesnt cherry-pick the patients for his study.
Many of them, like Valerie, were practically at
deaths door when they came to his clinic as
a last hope.
At this writing, Dr. Forsythes study has been
going on for just about five years. And he has an
85% positive response.

Forsythe Immune Therapy wins hands down!

Its a no brainer.
Dr. Forsythes results are all the more
astonishing when you consider that he accepts
ANY patient for his study even those deemed
hopeless. Not only does Dr. Forsythe have an
abundance of anecdotal success stories of turning around the most difficult stage-4 incurable
cancers. But he also has the statistical proof to
back up the stories.
Youd think the American cancer establishment
would beat a path to Dr. Forsythes door to ask
him, How are you curing those stage-4 cancers
that we havent been able to cure?
Keep in mind the historical context of Dr.
Forsythes cancer breakthrough.
In 1971 President Richard Nixon responded to
Americas cancer crisis by declaring a War on
Cancer. This war was supposed to be similar in
scope to President John Kennedys challenge to
put a man on the moon within 10 years.
Since the start of the War on Cancer in1971,
the American cancer industry has spent literally
billions of dollars, supposedly on trying to find
better treatments and even a cure for cancer.
After all those years and all those billions of
dollars spent, what have the cancer researchers
come up with? All they have is the same old
surgery/radiation/chemo they had back in 1971!
And this cut/burn/poison regimen still offers only
a two percent success rate.

For the American cancer industry, nothing has

really changed since 1971! Theyve accomplished
practically nothing.

made him kneel down. Holding a gun to his head,

they searched him. They asked, Who else is in
the house? He replied, Just my wife.

The federal government beats a

path to Dr. Forsythes door

At about that time, Mrs. Forsythe came down

the hallway. She had heard the commotion. The
agents also held a gun to her chest and frisked her.
She said later that it was like being raped.

Isnt Dr. Forsythes 85 percent success rate

remarkable, especially when you compare it to
the cancer industrys two percent success rate?
Youd think the federal government would beat a
path to Dr. Forsythes door over his discovery,
wouldnt you?

Then the agents marched both of them into

the house and separated them. They were under
custody in their own home but without any
Miranda rights.
Agents searched the house for seven hours,
rifling every drawer and taking boxes and boxes of
files, financial records, credit card records, and
every computer in the house. They found nothing
incriminating because there was nothing to find.

Actually, they did. But perhaps not the way

youd expect.
One February morning in 2005, Dr. Forsythe,
was enjoying breakfast at home with his wife in
Reno, Nevada. The American flag was proudly
waving in the breeze from his front-yard flagpole.

You see, Dr. Forsythe is a patriotic, law-abiding

American. He had done nothing wrong. His
patients love him. Hes never been the target of a
malpractice lawsuit in his entire career.

But then his wife noticed something odd

through the window.
Three dark sport utility vehicles pulled up
the driveway. Out came three groups of agents
bearing three different insignias on their flak
jackets: four agents were from the FBI, four were
from the FDA, and four were from the ICE
(Immigration Customs Enforcement).

At the same time as this home invasion, other

agents were zooming in on Dr. Forsythes clinic.
They told the patients, You should go home
because Dr. Forsythe is involved in criminal activity. The agents asked the patients if they could
take their confidential medical charts. They all
said no. But the agents took them anyway in
brazen violation of doctor-patient confidentiality!

Mrs. Forsythe asked her husband, What are

those people doing on the driveway? He replied,
I dont know. Ill go see.

The agents separated Dr. Forsythes staff

members to interrogate them in violation of their
Miranda rights. The agents told each staff member, Dr. Forsythe is engaged in criminal activity.
Are you sure you want to work here? Do you
know you could be in jeopardy yourself ?

Dr. Forsythe opened the door just in the nick

of time because an agent with a door buster
was on the verge of smashing his door open.
The 12 agents had their guns drawn and
pointed them at Dr. Forsythe.

Despite the intense pressure and intimidation,

Dr. Forsythes staff didnt quit. He was able to
keep his clinic open during the time of severe
persecution.

Aghast with amazement, he asked, Is this a

joke?
An agent replied, We have a search warrant
for your home and your business.

Dr. Forsythe arrested,

fingerprinted, strip-searched

in prescribing drugs. The authorities pounded

on his door during business hours. They took
him to police headquarters for a mug shot,
fingerprinting, and a strip-search.

How Poly-MVA makes

cancer cells fizzle out

At his first court appearance the magistrate

asked Dr. Forsythe, How do you plead? He
replied, Not guilty, Your Honor. I havent done
anything wrong.

As mentioned earlier, Poly-MVA is a patented

food supplement. Heres how it works, in Dr.
Forsythes own words:
Cancer cells are anaerobic. In other words,
they require very little oxygen to function and
reproduce. They thrive on simple sugars. They
also like low oxygen environments for their
metabolism.
Poly-MVA consists of palladium, lipoic
acid, B-12, and thiamine. This combination of
ingredients is natural and non-toxic. It interferes
with the metabolism of the cancer cell. When
administered to advanced cancer patients,
Poly-MVA appears to have the unique capacity
to negatively affect anaerobic cells while
supporting healthy tissues. Simply put, this
nutrient attacks the engine room of a cancer
cell, short circuiting the cells energy production,
thereby destroying it.
Dr. Forsythe says that Poly-MVA is most
effective on breast cancer, prostate cancer, and
non-small-cell lung cancer. His other key therapy,
Forsythe Immune Therapy, has shown success
with all kinds of cancers.

The jurys unanimous verdict:

NOT GUILTY!
And thats what the jury concluded after Dr.
Forsythes trial, which the Las Vegas press called
the trial of the century. On November 1, 2007,
after only one hour of deliberation, the jury
announced its unanimous verdict: not guilty.
The not guilty verdict gave Dr. Forsythe his
reputation back. He still has his medical license,
his clinic, and his staff. Hes open for business and
eager to help cure more patients.
And the not guilty verdict was a terrible
setback for the mainstream, conventional
American cancer industry.
Why did the federal government beat a path
to Dr. Forsythes door to harass him instead of
heralding him as a hero for his cancer breakthrough? Sadly, the answer is because too much
money is at stake.
The typical cost of treating a cancer patient
with the standard treatments surgery,
radiation, and chemo is about $350,000.
But if Dr. Forsythe helps that patient get rid of
his cancer for the $7,000 cost of his intravenous
treatments, the conventional cancer doctors will
be out $350,000.

Forsythe Immune Therapy

starves cancer cells to death
One of the key ingredients in Forsythe
Immune Therapy is salicinium a homeopathic
medicine.
Salicinium destroys cancer cells by starving
them to death. Cancer cells thrive on sugar.
Salicinium uses an enzyme process to set up a
roadblock that prevents cancer cells from getting
any nourishment from sugar.

Perhaps the conventional cancer doctors

believe Dr. Forsythe is eating their lunch. But if
theyre sincere, how could they possibly want
to get rich from using outmoded, ineffective
treatments that needlessly cause pain and usually
result in death?

The result is that cancer cells die of starvation.

The other ingredients in Forsythe Immune
Therapy are a proprietary blend of vitamins,
minerals, and homeopathic benzaldehyde. These

Perhaps the conventional cancer doctors

should take a closer look at Dr. Forsythes

He also recommends green powders

(wheat, rye, barley, and algae powders), which
helps alkalize the body. (Cancer cells thrive in
an acidic environment.) Dr. Forsythe recommends
powders manufactured by a company called Boku.

substances boost the immune system.

Dr. Forsythes other therapies

and recommendations
Conventional medicine doesnt accept it, but
research suggests that dental problems can cause
cancer even in locations far from the mouth.
Dr. Forsythe accepts this finding and uses it
successfully to treat cancer patients. For example,
a root canal can sometimes lead to an infection
in the jawbone. Dr. Forsythe contends that the
infection can spread, causing breast cancer,
prostate cancer, and other cancers.

Dr. Forsythe says to avoid sugar, whole milk

products, fried foods, red meats, cured meats, and
anything else thats cured. He encourages patients
to drink such juices as noni, mangosteen, and acai.

Case Study:
Doctors tell Bernadette, Nothing
can be done for your brain tumor

It does little good to treat cancer if you ignore

its underlying cause. Thats why Dr. Forsythe
employs a biological dentist on site. The biological
dentist gives each of Dr. Forsythes cancer
patients a dental evaluation to determine
whether a dental problem may be causing the
cancer. And if so, the problem is fixed right then
and there.

Bernadettes life changed the day she was hit

by a drunken driver. Within two years of her
injury, the pain in her head became excruciating.
Her doctors in New York gave her an MRI, a
CAT scan, and other tests. They found nothing.
So they told her she had a psychological disorder.
They said she was inventing her pain.
Every morning at 4:30 a.m. Bernadette started
taking the painkillers necessary to start her day.
She said the pain felt like a rake with a million
sharp prongs scraping through her brain. She also
suffered double vision and had to get special
glasses so she could see straight.

In addition to the biological dentist, Dr.

Forsythe also employs a naturopathic doctor
on site. Naturopaths have specialized knowledge
of nutrition and detoxification.
Dr. Forsythe strongly believes in detoxification
for cancer patients. Thats because reducing the
bodys toxic load helps the healing process.

After years of suffering, doctors gave

Bernadette another MRI that revealed a brain
tumor! She felt vindicated. She knew her pain
had always been real and not a psychological
invention. And now she knew the cause of it.

Dr. Forsythe recommends several methods to

detoxify the body, including chelation therapy,
colonic hydrotherapy, and far infrared saunas.
He doesnt offer all of these services at his clinic;
some of them are available off-site.

But her doctors told her, Theres nothing we

can do for you. Chemo and radiation wont help.
And the tumor is inoperable. Go home and well
make sure youre comfortable.

As you may know, colonic hydrotherapy irrigates the colon with five gallons of water in a
process that takes about an hour. This is perhaps
the best method of dislodging the gunk that can
accumulate and get stuck in the colon.

She asked, How are you going to make me

comfortable? They replied, Well give you pain
killers. She responded, I dont want painkillers.
I dont want to live on painkillers.

Concerning diet, Dr. Forsythe recommends

that his cancer patients consume large amounts of
the three Bs and the three Cs. The three Bs are
beans, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. The three
Cs are carrots, cauliflower, and cabbage.

In fact, Bernadettes tumor was on a CAT

scan 4 years earlier, but all of her doctors had
missed it.

Bernadette now says,

Im ready to take on the world!

intravenous treatment known as Forsythe Immune

Therapy. He says it doesnt hurt, and it doesnt
cause hair to fall out.

Because Bernadettes New York doctors

could do nothing for her, she decided to give Dr.
Forsythes program at the Century Wellness
Clinic a try. After just a week of treatment, she
says, I didnt need my glasses anymore. I had
worn them for six years. That was a miracle!
After two more weeks of treatment, she went
home with an oral supply of salicinium.

After three weeks of IV treatment, he went

home with an oral form of salicinium for three
months. Then he returned to Reno for the
follow-up exam. As with most of Dr. Forsythes
cancer patients, Daves treatment lasted four
months. Forsythe Immune Therapy is a
four-month package.

Her headaches were gone. Her pain was gone.

Her tumor was gone, as proved by a new MRI.
Bernadette says, What can I say? This is amazing.
I had been written off by doctors who said, Make
sure your will is signed. But now, I can get up in
the morning. I dont need painkillers. I havent
taken painkillers for months. I was ready to die.
I was waiting to die. Now Im pain free, and
nothing is going to stop me! Im ready to take on
the world!

Stage 4 patient says hes

ready to beat the band!
Dave says, It felt so warm when I came into
Dr. Forsythes Clinic. Everyone was so friendly.
After just the second day of intravenous treatment, Dave says, I was ready to beat the band!
I havent had this kind of energy in almost a year!
And on the third day he felt even better.
According to Dave, I came up here with a
big bag of medications from my doctor back
home, and Im thinking, Why am I taking all these
things? I come in here. I take salicinium. Im
feeling great. There are really no side effects.
None. I feel refreshed. Im ready to go out and,
you know, just do anything I can do!

You can hear Bernadette tell her own story in

a remarkable video on www.salicinium.com.

Daves terminal lung cancer

caused total disability
Dave N., a father of four teenage children,
got the diagnosis on January 24, 2006. His entire
left lung was full of fluid. When the doctor
mentioned the Big C cancer Dave says,
It devastated me and dropped my wife to the
floor.

Daves wife adds, Conventional treatment was

like a death sentence. There was no hope. Dave
lost a lot of hope. Now his mind is different.
Hes positive. He wants to live.
After the first three weeks of treatment,
Ive been doing 20 minute walks, says Dave.
I dont feel like a disabled person anymore. I
dont. I feel o.k. I can walk up and down the street
just like anyone else and not be short of breath
and have to stop. I feel great.

Because of his lung cancer, Dave couldnt do

the things he used to do. He went on full disability.
Everything in his life fell apart. By the time the
cancer reached stage 4, he knew he was going
to die. The chemo made his face puffy and his
eyelids droopy. It also gave him a rash.

At Dr. Forsythes recommendation, Dave

dropped sugar from his diet and drinks alkaline
water.

Why did Dave make the trip to Reno for

cancer treatment? As he explains, I didnt have
a lot of options, and Reno sounded like a good
choice. His teenage kids told him, Dad, We want
you to be here. If this is a chance, take it!

If you watch the video of Daves testimonial

on www.salicinium.com, youll be shocked at
the effects of chemo that are evident when Dave
first comes to see Dr. Forsythe. Daves face is

And so Dave decided to undergo the 3-week

plant in Reno. The cancer in his right lung

spread to his central chest. Dr. Forsythe
treated him with Poly-MVA, salicinium, and
low-dose chemo. Today the results of his
medical tests are normal. And he works a
40-hour week at the sewage treatment plant
without any problems.

puffy, and his eyelids are droopy. And as the video

story progresses youll be amazed when you see
with your own eyes Daves transformation as a
result of Forsythe Immune Therapy.

Prostate cancer patient

gets his sex drive back!
Sadly, some of the conventional treatments for
prostate cancer leave a man unable to hold his
urine or to get an erection or both.

83-year-old Bob S. was on his deathbed

with prostate cancer. After undergoing
therapies such as Poly-MVA, salicinium, and
low-dose chemo, hes functioning normally.
He has no bone pain, and hes walking on his
own with no pain medication.

But even before Gary M. was treated for his

advanced prostate cancer, the cancer had
depressed his sex drive. Instead of submitting
to the risks of surgery, he decided to go to
Dr. Forsythes clinic. After 10 days of Forsythe
Immune Therapy, he could feel the difference.

81-year-old Warren J. suffered from colorectal cancer, and the cancer also invaded
his lungs and stomach. As a result of PolyMVA, hes now clear of cancer. His tumor
markers are normal.

When Gary went home, his doctors at the

VA hospital examined him. They found no more
nodules, no more swelling, no more prostate
cancer. In fact, there was no evidence of cancer
any more.

28-year-old Crystal K., suffered from colitis,

which turned into colon cancer. Dr. Forsythe
treated her with Paw Paw (a nutritional
product), Poly-MVA, and vitamins. Shes now
free of disease and living a normal life.

As for his depressed sex drive, 59-year-old

Gary says, Thats no longer a problem.

25-year-old Jenna S. had stage four Hodgkins

involving her neck and the lymph nodes in
her groin. She refused chemo and radiation
and came to Dr. Forsythe in 2004. He gave
her Poly-MVA and persuaded her to take
low-dose oral chemo for a short time. Shes
off all chemo and in complete remission.

You can hear Garys testimonial on video at

www.salicinium.com.

Testimonials for
wide variety of cancers
During my two-hour interview with Dr.
Forsythe, he told me many stories about
remarkable recoveries from the most difficult
and stubborn cases of cancer. Here are a few
of them:

44-year-old Sheryl S. from Reno flipped

houses when that city had a hot real estate
market. In 2003 she came to see Dr. Forsythe
with stage 4 non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
(NHL). Dr. Forsythe gave her Poly-MVA and
salicinium. She is free of disease, and her
tumor markers are normal.

52-year-old Paula L. first saw Dr. Forsythe

in 2003 with cancer in her right breast. It
had spread to her lungs and bones. As a
result of Poly-MVA and salicinium, her tumor
markers are normal, and her bone pain is
gone. Furthermore, her lung lesions have
disappeared. Shes in complete remission,
which means that all measurable signs of
disease have disappeared.

28-year-old Diedra C., a flight attendant,

suffered from ovarian cancer that had spread
to her pelvis. In 2004 she came to see Dr.
Forsythe, who recommended salicinium plus
low-dose chemo. Shes in complete remission
and continues to work as a flight attendant.

48-year-old Joseph R. runs a sewage treatment

11

with Dr. Forsythe, the naturopath, and the biological dentist. But insurance usually covers it.

She sees Dr. Forsythe twice a year for

follow-up.
57-year-old Georgia B. was on her deathbed
in 2005. Her cancer doctors told her to go
into hospice; in other words, they expected
her to die soon. But instead of going into
hospice, she saw Dr. Forsythe. She didnt want
any more chemo because that had failed her.
Dr. Forsythe recommended Poly-MVA and
salicinium. Now shes in complete remission,
running her mattress business with her
husband.

Where to stay and what to do

Dr. Forsythes clinic is an outpatient facility, so
youll need to stay at a nearby hotel. Some of
these hotels offer special rates for Dr. Forsythes
patients, including the magnificent Vegas-style
Peppermill Resort Casino, two miles from the
clinic, and the Marriotts Residence Inn, which is
three miles from the clinic. The Marriott even
provides free shuttle service.
As you recover from cancer, youll probably
want to visit nearby Lake Tahoe perhaps the
most stunning Alpine lake in the world. Its a
jewel. You could also visit historic Virginia City
of silver mining fame. The old Carson City Mint
is worth a visit, too.

Dr. Forsythe has a big advantage over many

other doctors. Hes fully trained in oncology, but
he also has a pathology background. That gives
him an intimate knowledge of tumors. A doctor
coming from an emergency room background or
family practice background would lack this kind
of knowledge. And, as mentioned earlier, hes
also a board-certified homeopathic doctor.
Dr. Forsythe is one-of-a-kind.

Chapter Three
I had no idea this kind of health care existed
Today, I am free of cancer, without the
trauma of chemotherapy or radiation. My energy
and stamina have returned to that of a 40-year-old
man, (not bad for a 71-year-old!)

Its remarkable that Reno, Nevada, has two

outstanding alternative cancer clinics. After
interviewing Dr. James Forsythe at his Century
Wellness Clinic, I walked over to the nearby Reno
Integrative Medical Center where I interviewed
Pam Bond, the administrator.
Cancer patients from all over North America
travel to the Reno Integrative Medical Center.

Reno Integrative Medical Center combined

the best of Gods natural remedies with solid
science to restore me to optimal health. Without
reservation, I highly recommend Reno Integrative
Medical Center for anyone who wants to be free of
cancer and live life to the fullest!

The clinics two doctors are Dr. Robert A.

Eslinger, D.O., H.M.D., and Dr. David Holt, D.O.,
H.M.D. Besides being osteopathic doctors, these
two men are also homeopathic doctors. Their
approach to cancer treatment is similar to that of
Dr. Forsythe, who was on the staff of Reno
Integrative Medical Center until he left in 2002 to
focus on his own clinic.

Breast cancer patient says

NO to poisonous treatments
When Patty A. got breast cancer, she knew her
doctor would recommend chemo and radiation.
But at least the doctor was honest enough to
admit that even with the most aggressive chemo
and radiation, the cancer would probably come
right back.

The Reno Integrative Medical Center has an

impressive track record at whipping even the most
difficult and stubborn cases of cancer.

Such honesty is refreshing but rare.

In a moment Ill describe the Centers treatment methods. But first let me give you some true
stories of terminal patients who got rid of their
cancer at the Center.

Fortunately, Patty heard about the Reno

Integrative Medical Center. She says, It just
made so much more sense to me. I have never
regretted that decision I made because it took
me down the path of healing that only made my
body stronger without any ill effects.

71-year-old boasts the energy

of a 40-year-old!
First I want you to hear 71-year-old Joe L. tell
his story in his own words. He came to Reno
with advanced cancers of the lung and pancreas
after conventional doctors had given up on him.

I reported for 3 weeks of boot camp at the

Reno Integrative Medical Center. You can be sure
the doctors and staff leave no stone unturned
when you go there for treatment. I was busy
everyday getting well. I was impressed with
Dr. Bob and the multiple tools to assess the
status of the internal terrain. My sessions with
Dr. Holt were amazing. Among many things, he
worked with me on the emotional aspects of
cancer and how we can reverse it. I trust them
completely.

Joe says, For three weeks at Reno Integrative

Medical Center, I was treated for cancer, taught
what to eat and what not to eat. I went home
and made some major lifestyle changes. I
returned to Reno later for additional treatments
and training. I learned to monitor and build my
bodys immune system to maintain lasting health.
I have also learned to handle stress in a more
productive way.

A family member of mine accompanied me

every day to the clinic and was with me for a

13

follow- up visit. Her response to this experience

was, I had no idea this form of health care
existed, its absolutely amazing.

explained that surgery, chemo, and radiation were

not treatment options for her cancer. She replied
that she didnt want to go that route anyway
because she wanted to do alternative medicine.
Her doctor encouraged her to find an alternative because conventional medicine had nothing
to offer her.
Jonna already knew about the Reno
Integrative Medical Center because thats where
her aunt had gone for treatment.
Heres what Jonna says about her treatment at
the Center:
I made an appointment which was the
beginning of a wonderful healing experience. The
staff has been so helpful and caring. The positive
energy is overwhelming. The practitioners have
seen me through many problems, and they have
found a cure or solution to almost all.
My cancer is receding. All in all, I believe
Reno Integrative Medical Center is the place for
cancer treatment from knowledgeable, caring and
truly wonderful people.

I was told to expect the cancerous lymph

nodes to start shrinking and eventually go back to
normal. And that is exactly what has happened.
I can barely feel the affected lymph node in my
neck. I thank God and the universe every day for
everyone at Reno Integrative Medical Center.
They are true healers.

You can laugh about your cancer

because theres hope!
In November 2004, Dorothy H. was diagnosed
with stage 4 colorectal cancer. Heres what she
says about her experience at the Reno Integrative
Medical Center:
The doctors, nurses and staff are wonderful.
They are loving, kind, encouraging, and treat
everyone as if they are the only one there. The
atmosphere is bright and cheery. You meet new
friends and share with each other. It is a place
where you can even laugh about the cancer
because there is hope. Its not a scary place, but
one that brings peace, and the treatments arent
painful. The whole staff has a positive cheerful
attitude.
There is a lot of laughter too, which one
needs during this time.
I know the reason I bounced back so fast is
because I chose not to do chemo or radiation.
If you find out you have cancer, please, I beg
you to go to the Reno Integrative Medical Center
and talk to the doctors before you decide to do
the traditional method. The doctors are up front
and honest and will let you know what is best
for you.
I cant say enough for the center. They saved
my life. I should be home with the Lord, but He
used that treatment to spare me for a little longer.

Agent Orange victim

finds cure for his cancer
Doctors diagnosed Vietnam veteran John S.
with prostate cancer. The prognosis was poor.
The doctors told him that even with surgery or
radiation, hed need a miracle to survive. He didnt
like that message, so he sought a second opinion
and even a third one.
But all the doctors said the same. His prostate
cancer was terminal.
John resigned himself to his inevitable fate.
But then he heard about the Reno Integrative
Medical Center. With nothing to lose, he scheduled an appointment.
John says, After consultation I was put on an
immune boosting protocol to fight my cancer.
After a year and a half my cancerous tumor
started shrinking and today almost 4 years from
my original diagnosis I am healthy and happy
with no symptoms of the disease. I continue to
take my supplements and can only thank the

wonderful caring staff at the clinic. The staff is

always pleasant and takes care of my needs,
whether it is on one of my once-every-six-month
visits or just quickly getting my supplements sent
to me in a day or so.
I contracted my cancer from a tour in
Vietnam and from Agent Orange. I have lost
seven other Platoon mates from Agent Orange
cancers. I only wish my disease would have
attacked me sooner so that I might have been in
a position to talk to them about Reno Integrative
Medical Center. Unfortunately, all of them had
passed away before I knew about my illness or
alternative treatments available.

The initial evaluation also includes two

crucial tests: a 12-hour urine test to detect any
heavy metal toxicity and a full-mouth x-ray to
determine whether a dental problem might be
the cause of the cancer. If the dental exam
reveals an infected root canal or infected jawbone, the patient is referred to a biological dentist
to fix the problem.
The clinics goal is to get the body into a state
where it can heal itself. So if there are problems
in the mouth, they must be fixed. If the body is
carrying around a toxic load of heavy metals,
detoxification is necessary.

Uterine cancer patients

immune system saves her
Judy W. underwent harsh conventional
treatments for her uterine cancer, including
radiation five days a week for five weeks.

The core of the treatment plan is a three-week

boot camp that features an immune boosting
system of IVs developed by the clinics founder,
the late Dr. Douglas Brodie. These IVs contain
various substances including cesium, a natural
mineral that goes right to the cancer cells and
puts them in an alkaline state.

She says, This brought my immune system

so low, I knew I had to do something more to
build my immune system and prevent a recurrence of cancer. Because of my sisters success
25 years ago in a similar program, I went to the
Reno Integrative Medical Center. I had a live
blood cell test, which showed an extremely low
immune system.
After a lengthy visit with the doctor, I started
a three-week course of daily IV treatment. I also
started a program of supplements and was given
a list of foods to avoid.
At the end of three weeks, I felt I had made
friends with the staff because of the loving
care and concern I was shown. I return every
three to six months to have my immune system
monitored.
In the past seven years, I have experienced
only two slight colds, one sore throat, and no
recurrence of cancer. I thank God I was led to this
Haven of Hope.

An intravenous treatment is given every

day, Monday through Friday, for three weeks.
Thus, the IV therapy consists of 15 treatments
altogether. This can be completed within three
weeks if the patient starts on a Monday;
otherwise, the IV treatments would go into a
fourth week.
The patient also goes through a detoxification
program, which may include colonic hydrotherapy. Although colonic hydrotherapy isnt currently
available on site, there are therapists nearby.
After the three-week boot camp, one of the
doctors coaches the patient by phone for the next
three months. These phone calls are regularly
scheduled long-distance office visits.

How the clinic defeats cancer

Patients come back once a month during

those three months for a three-day follow-up

A new cancer patient at Reno Integrative

Medical Center gets a two-day evaluation. Each

doctors.

or grandchildren, or other situations that cause

anger, hate, resentment, and bitterness to build
up inside.

Some patients do so well they dont have to

come back every month. The doctor might say,
You dont have to come back every month. Why
dont you come back in two or three months?
But other patients might need to come back in
two or three weeks.

These resentments must be resolved to help

the body heal. And the doctors are skilled at
bringing about emotional healing while the other
therapies give a big boost to physical healing.
The clinic firmly believes its necessary to
treat the whole patient, not just the body.

Unique twist on Insulin

Potentiation Therapy

Dietary recommendations

One of the most effective alternative cancer

treatments is insulin potentiation therapy (IPT).
This therapy uses the cancer cells craving for
sugar in a clever way.

Some cancer patients who come to the

Reno Integrative Medical Center have been
vegans all their lives. As you may know, a vegan
is a strict vegetarian that eats no fish, eggs, or
dairy foods.

The doctor gives the patient insulin to starve

the cancer cells of sugar. And then, when the
cancer cells are craving sugar, the doctor gives
them some along with some low-dose
chemotherapy. IPT has a devastating effect on
cancer, and the Reno Integrative Medical Center
used it for several years.

One vegan came to the clinic in tears, saying,

I have cancer. I shouldnt have cancer! How
can this be? How can vegans whove been trying
to eat healthy their whole lives get cancer?
When a vegan comes to the clinic with
cancer, the doctors usually find that the problem
is not enough protein. For that reason, the clinic
doesnt strictly recommend vegetarianism. If
youre going to eat meat, the clinic recommends
organic chicken. If youre going to eat beef, eat
grass-fed organic beef. Be careful of fish because
of the mercury. The fishs mercury content
depends on where it was caught.

But in recent years the clinic gave IPT a

unique twist. Instead of giving the cancer cells
low-dose chemo along with the sugar, the
clinic gives cesium with the sugar. Cesium, as
mentioned earlier, is a natural mineral that goes
right to the cancer cells and puts them in an
alkaline state.
For IPT, the clinic prefers cesium to
chemotherapy because cesium isnt toxic.

The clinic highly recommends the Budwig

diet for cancer patients. This diet, which mixes
flax oil with cottage cheese, is named after the
legendary Germany physician Johanna Budwig,
M.D. Dr. Budwig wrote a book describing this
remarkable diet, which has helped countless
cancer patients get well.

Hidden cause of many cancers

The doctors at the Reno Integrative Medical
Cancer do what few other clinics do today: they
identify the emotional and psychological cause of
cancer. The doctors ask the patients, What was
going on in your life before your body allowed
this cancer to grow?

The clinic also recommends sitting out in the

sunshine to get some vitamin D. Each patient
receives individual recommendations for diet.

And the doctors have found that just about

every cancer patient has experienced some kind
of emotional shock that weakened the body,
allowing cancer to get a foothold. These emotional shocks include divorce, problems with children

In addition, the clinic offers specialized forms

of massage to relax the patient and give the
patient more energy.
Clinic administrator Pam Bond told me,

Where to stay

People feel the difference when they walk

through the door. We just love our patients. We
go the second, third, and fourth mile for them.
We try not to be clinical. We try to be homey, as
you can tell from the dcor of the office. We just
really care about our patients. When they leave
their three-week intensive, there are tears in their
eyes because theyve felt cared for and safe. And
this is a place of hope.

Because the Reno Integrative Medical Center

is an outpatient clinic, patients from outside the
area stay at a hotel or in an apartment. There
are several excellent hotels within two or three
miles of the clinic, including the magnificent
Vegas-style Peppermill Resort Casino and the
Marriotts Residence Inn, mentioned in the
previous chapter.

Our doctors are just amazing. People have

come out of their offices after spending close to
two hours with the doctor, with tears in their
eyes, saying, Thats the first time Ive ever had a
doctor really listen to me or That doctor just
told me my whole life. How did he know that?
Just knowing what questions to ask is a gift. Both
of our doctors are gifted men.

The clinic has accounts with several hotels

to give patients a good deal. Some hotels have
shuttles, and some have kitchenettes. The
clinic can advise you about the best options for
lodging.

Chapter Four
The amazing Persian doctor who beats
hopeless cases of cancer with natural methods
Ferre Akbarpour, M.D., has been turning
around hopeless and terminal cases of cancer
in Southern California for decades. Her clinic
occupies the entire ninth floor of the tallest office
building in Huntington Beach.
Her patients love the panoramic view of the
Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and the mountains.
But they love Dr. Ferre (pronounced fairy) and
her life-saving treatments even more.
We visited Dr. Ferre in her office, and she
generously let us interview her. She did such a fine
job of telling her story that we decided simply to
print it as she told it to us:

sense of humor.
When I asked him, Robert, what Stage are
you at? He said, Stage Five. I said, There is
no such thing as Stage Five. Either it is a Stage
One or Two or Three or Four. He said, No
doctor. The cancer has spread to all my organs,
so I think Im above a Stage Four.
And then he said, I know Im going to get
better. I didnt give him any promises because
its not ethical. You dont know that will happen
with late-stage cancer. I said, I promise Ill do
my best. Let us start working on you.
This mans colon cancer had spread to the
kidneys, liver, bladder, and even the lungs. He was
in terrible shape. He had elevated liver enzymes.
He had lost a lot of weight. And he had severe
fatigue and jaundice. Furthermore, he couldnt go
for any more oncological treatments because he
had maxed out all the chemotherapies.

Dr. Ferres story

in her own words
I have been here in Southern California since
1978. Every day I get three or four thank-you
letters from patients. Its really amazing. Its so
positively energizing. Its just unbelievable.
I thank God for allowing me to be in this field
and do what Im doing now. Its important for me
to read these letters. And it gives me so much
energy to help even more patients overcome
cancer.
Let me tell you a memorable story. About six
and a half years ago a gentleman named Robert
came to me from Australia with Stage Four colon
cancer. Stage Four means that it has spread to
some other places. Most doctors consider it
terminal. Doctors didnt give him more than two
or three months to live. Thats why he decided to
come here.
Robert was short of money, so his local church
donated money to pay for his treatment. Some
people at his church had heard about our success
rate with advanced cancer patients. So he came
here with his beautiful wife and with his good

So we started working on him. Thank God,

he improved a lot. After staying with us for four
weeks, it became obvious he was getting better
and better. So the church donated more money,
enabling him to stay longer about seven or
eight weeks. And then he went back to Australia.

From the brink of the grave

to the golf course!
For a man who was given two months to live,
he lived for four-and-a-half extra years. And the
beauty is that he was able to do what he loved:
play golf. He was enjoying his life at the ocean
in Australia, and he was happily married. He was
traveling; he was doing everything he enjoyed.
A few days before he passed away, he called me. I
was constantly in touch with him. We were
e-mailing. We were having phone consultations.

18

His lung cancer never did come back. He later

died of another cause.

I was changing his protocols. I was ordering

blood work.
So a few days before he passed away, he called
me and said, Doctor Ferre, it looks like Im ready
to go. He was dying not of cancer
but of kidney failure, and dialysis wasnt going
well. So he said, I think I want to say good-bye to
you. Im really thankful that you gave me the
opportunity to live four-and-a-half years. I have
been the happiest person.

Young dentist thought his life was

ruined by nasopharyngeal cancer
I have a written testimonial of a young
dentist. He came to me in August of 2005 with an
unfortunate case of nasopharyngeal cancer. Thats
one of the worst cancers, not only because of its
gravity but also because of the way it progresses.
Conventional doctors cant do much for these
patients. Also, because it occupies the oral cavity
ear, nose, and throat usually the patients
become deformed and lose their hearing, their
speech, and their ability to eat.

The day he passed away, his wife sent us an email. She said, Robert passed away, but I wanted
to thank you for the years you gave us. Robert
lived happier, healthier, and he was stronger spiritually, physically and emotionally since he was
under your care. And I wanted to thank you for
that.

So its one of the worst cancers that people

could ever get.
This dentist was practicing in Texas. He was
going to one of the most prestigious cancer
clinics in Texas, and the treatment seemed to
be successful.

So this is a memorable story. It will always be

in my mind and in my heart.

Farmer beats
deadliest lung cancer

But one day when he was playing ball with his

6-year-old son, his son accidentally kicked him in
the groin. So he started to have pain and swelling.
He went to his doctor and said, Listen, this is
hurting too much. A CAT scan revealed that his
cancer was back and had spread to his abdomen.
It was bad.

I had a farmer from Connecticut come to us

with one of the deadliest cancers of the lung.
He kept saying, If I die, Ive lived a good life.
If I live, Ill be thankful to God. He wasnt afraid
of dying.
This beautiful man came with his daughter. He
was here at least four weeks. He started to do better and better and better. Conventional medicine
offers no treatments for this kind of cancer no
chemo, no radiation, nothing because its not
sensitive to anything. So the only thing that helped
him was our natural treatment.

Dentist says NO to chemo

and prepares for death
The doctor told him, Lets start chemotherapy
immediately. We may squeeze two or three
months out of your life. He said, No, thank
you, I dont want to do it. He had been through
chemo before, and he didnt want any more of
it especially since the chemo only offered him
another two or three months.

We were so proud of him; we had his CAT

scans, taking them everywhere and showing them
to others. And with this treatment, he got better
and better and better. The tumor totally disappeared as proven by a CAT scan. He did so well
that he went back home and went back to work.
Three years passed. Its unheard of for anyone to
survive this kind of lung cancer for three years!
Three years passed, so we were all so happy and
so proud.

The dentist had already made plans to move

to California. Thinking he was healthy, he had sold
his dental practice in Texas and had already purchased a major dental clinic in California. All of a
sudden, his plans lay in ruins.
He came to California anyway but couldnt

She had been an opera singer but no longer had

enough lungpower to sing. She had lived in
hospitals for the previous 12 years. And they
had done everything that standard medicine has

therapy. But they couldnt help her.

practice dentistry because of his ill health. One

of his friends, a religious woman, told him, Go
and see this lady. Ive heard a lot of good things
about her.
So he came to see me in August of 2005. He
was sitting there with his wife. I tried speaking to
them, but he seemed out of it as if he were
thinking, Im dying. Whats this lady talking
about? So I talked with his wife. His wife said,
Were starting with you tomorrow.

Amidst this agony, she came down with

serious muscle aches and muscle pain. So she got
hooked on morphine and morphine derivatives.
And she became addicted to all these narcotics.
Ill never forget. She called me and she said,
Doctor, Im coming for detoxification because
I have Guillain-Barr syndrome and I am hooked
on these medications. Can you help me? I said,
Ill try. She said, How long do you need me?
I said, At least two weeks to detox your body
and blood.

The man started with me. He was here for

three weeks. Every day he felt better and better
and better. Then I told him, Lets do genetic
testing analysis for your cancer. Let us send your
blood to Germany for some genetic analysis, and
they will do the gene testing and they will let us
know what kind of treatment your body would
best respond to.

So she came here. After five working days, she

said, Doctor, I dont think my body even desires
any narcotics any more. I think Ive forgotten all
about narcotics. Im doing fine without them.
And my muscles are getting stronger. Im able to
breathe better. I dont need oxygen, and I am just
feeling stronger!

So we did that, we sent it to Germany. The

results came back, showing that his cancer
was ultra-sensitive to hyperthermia. He was
already receiving hyperthermia every day. It
also indicated that his cancer was sensitive to a
certain kind of chemo. He was against chemo
because of his past experience with it. But I
assured him he would have no problem with a
low dosage. He said O.K.

Her second week of treatment took place

during Thanksgiving. I told some patients, Id
better leave earlier today for my TV interview.
And Bernadette just stood up and said, Can I
come with you? I said, Yes, of course you can.
But its a Persian program, and you dont speak
Persian. She said, But someone could translate
my message. I want to come and tell the world.
Since its Thanksgiving, I want to share my
blessing with the world and let them know
theres still hope left.

With my treatment and the low dosage

chemo, he responded well. The lymph nodes got
smaller, he was in no pain, and he didnt have any
recurrence in the nasopharyngeal area. Hes in
total remission now after a year and a half. And
this man is going to go back to work. I have a lot
of cases like this.

Opera singer miraculously

recovers her voice

So I took her with me. Another doctor was

the host. I was that doctors guest. And he
interviewed Bernadette, who told him about her
amazing health results.

I had a patient from Texas named Bernadette.

She came to me again about seven or eight years
ago. She had multiple problems including cancer.

When the doctor realized Bernadette was an

opera singer who hadnt been able to sing for
years, he asked, Do you think you could sing
now? She replied, Sing? Oh, my gosh. I dont

One of Bernadettes major problems was

Guillain-Barr Syndrome, which paralyzed her
extremities and also the muscles of her lungs.

20

Doctors said her bilateral ovarian

cancer was hopeless

think so. But Ill try. And she started to sing

opera. I was crying. She was crying. She was
hugging me. That was such an emotional thing.

Three years ago a young lady came to see me

from San Francisco. She was about 45 years old
and never married. She told me she wasnt from a
rich family. She said she really needed my help.

Bernadette beats melanoma with

totally natural remedies
Thats not even all. During this time she was
diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a serious
cancer of the skin. She was concerned she wasnt
going to survive the melanoma. She started to
eat healthy. She continued with detoxification and
other therapies. And then I started her on immune
boosting for her melanoma.

I had helped her niece get rid of a spinal

tumor. Thats how she knew me.
So her brother-in-law, the father of the girl
who got rid of the spinal tumor, told her he was
going to sell his Laundromat, get some money,
and send her to me. Her doctors said her case
was hopeless.

Melanoma is a disease that spreads quickly.

But it didnt spread anywhere in her body, and she
recovered from melanoma. Melanoma is a cancer
that responds beautifully to immune boosting.
And we did that with non-chemical, totally natural
remedies, totally natural.

At the time of diagnosis, the cancer had

already spread all over her abdomen. The tumor
was so big that they couldnt even do surgery.
And she was afraid of chemotherapy. And she
told me her doctors had drawn at least 12 or 13
liters of fluid from her lungs and abdomen. Her
cancer marker was close to 4,000 when we started
with her. A normal marker is not more than 35.

And her anemia got better. Her melanoma

has never come back, which her oncologist
confirmed. She is in total remission with her
melanoma. And the good news is that she got
married last year in a beautiful castle in Scotland.
Her husband is from Scotland.

So this was an unfortunate case.

Crying patient says,

I dont want to die

In fact, she wants me to put her wedding

picture on my Website. She said, Doctor, I beg
you, please do that. Shes that thankful to me.
Its so beautiful, so beautiful.

When she first came here, she cried all the

time. She put her head on my shoulder and cried,
saying I dont want to die. I dont want to die.
And I told her, Listen, no one is God, and I dont
want to promise you too much, but were doing
our best. Youve got to stay positive. Dont lose
your faith. Stay positive. Good things will happen.

And I talked with her four or five days ago,

and she said, I have never felt this good in my
life. Im going to school, and Im right now doing
everything myself. But I have so much energy,
and Im doing so much better. Shes still taking
my supplements. Shes still under my direction for
supplementation and everything.

So during her first week of treatment I had

to give her a lot of encouragement and spiritual
support.
The second week she realized the treatment
was helping her because she wasnt accumulating
water anymore. She wasnt bloated. She was
feeling better, less nauseous. She could breathe
better. There was no more fluid in her lungs.

And another beautiful thing is that since

she improved so much with all these natural
treatments that I am doing, she is becoming a
naturopath herself. She is going through the
second year of naturopathic school, and she
said in a few years shes going to become
a doctor.

Since her case was so bad, I told her, Listen,

I want you to understand that Im your support.
We need a combination treatment here. We need

21

They dont have too much hope for me. You saved
my life once before, and I want you to help me.

to integrate the standard treatment with what we

are doing because of the seriousness of your
case. She started to cry and said, Im scared the
chemotherapy is going to kill me. I said, No. Im
going to send you to another oncologist, and I
promise we are going to start you with the lowest
dosage of chemotherapy. And if you tolerate it
and you feel okay with that, then we are going to
go to the standard dosage.

Again, I did the same thing with him. He

was here for five weeks. He was in bad shape,
coughing a lot. He had multiple tumors.
He started to get stronger and better every
day. He was coughing less. After three weeks I
told him, Mike, I want you to see another
oncologist and let us try a small dosage of some
chemotherapy, because there are some
chemotherapy patients with lung cancer who are
doing fine with it, and yours is the kind that may
respond.
So he said, Doctor, if you think so, I will. I
told him, If it doesnt work or you cant tolerate
it, well just stop. He trusted me.
The tumor shrank so much that he was able to
go for another surgery. This time they were able
to remove it. Again he came back for my treatment after the tumor was removed, and he got
my treatment for another month. And at
Christmastime he came here. He said, You
gave me the gift of life, Doctor Ferre. I cant
thank you enough. Im back to my work. No one
believed I was going to survive this cancer.
That was three years ago.

And thats what we did with her.

She trusted me and agreed to go see another
oncologist. We started the combination
chemotherapy and my natural treatments at the
same time together. And, thank God, because she
was getting our natural treatments, she didnt have
too many side effects. She didnt have much
fatigue, nausea, or loss of appetite.
So she was with us for four weeks. And then
we sent her back to her oncologist and surgeon in
San Francisco. The surgeon did a scan. Amazingly,
the tumor had shrunk in just four weeks. And the
cancer markers had dropped to almost less than
half in one month. So the oncological surgeon told
her, Now we can do surgery. She survived and
she came back to normal life in no time. No
complications, no problems.
Again, two or three months later, after she
improved from her surgery, she came back here.
I gave her more treatment; I sent her back to her
chemotherapy. In less than six or seven months
she was in total remission. Her cancer has never
returned. Shes alive and doing fine. This is
another beautiful story.

Patients need hope,

but not false hope
Sometimes I see patients whove maxed out
their chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Some
of them have also had unsuccessful multiple
surgeries. And then they come to me. These are
bad cases.

Doctors called his lung cancer

hopeless

And when I see the patients with nearly

hopeless cases, I try to give them hope. I dont
tell them Im going to cure you. I will tell them
Im going to do my best. I have had some
patients who did well. I have had some patients
who didnt do too well because they came too
late. So Im honest with my patients.

Seven or eight years ago I helped a man

overcome advanced prostate cancer. He did fine.
Then three years ago he called me all of a
sudden. His situation was sad. He came in with
his wife and told me, Unfortunately, I was just
diagnosed with lung cancer a month ago. In
surgery they removed a little bit, but they said Im
in Stage 3 to 4. It has gone to the lymph nodes.

You know, there have been lots of times when

I sit and cry with my patients. These people are
hopeless. Sometimes they dont even have any

22

So I bring this to my patients attention. If

they need any spiritual healing, they let me know.
I will find help for them. I have psychologists and
spiritual healers who work with my cancer
patients. They work on the mind, body, and spirit.
And they get so much better. They feel so much
better.

family support left. So they come here on their

own. They have no one else. And I help them
and talk with them.

Patients pray and meditate

in clinics chapel
We pray together. We have a little chapel in
our clinic. Our patients go there no matter what
religion they have. Just the connection with your
Creator is important. Some people go there to
pray. Some meditate. Some have their private time
with their family. They do whatever gives them
comfort.

And of course Im the one who focuses on

the patients body. I check their immune system
and their kidney/liver function. I check them for
anemia and for antioxidant deficiency. I check
their Vitamin D level and their electrolytes. Im
monitoring them constantly.

We ask them to have prayer in their daily

program because I strongly believe if you want to
treat a patient successfully, you have to believe in
the connection of mind, body, and spirit. If you
dont have these connected together, then you
cannot treat any diseases.

And I have two doctors who are working

with me for my research. So if I need the latest
article, for example, about brain tumors or skin
tumors or anything like that, they deliver it to me
immediately.
I try to use the best of everything from all
over the world. There may be something that a
doctor in Israel is doing that I didnt know about.
And then I ask my research doctors to find it for
me. They bring it to me, and the new research
may influence me to adjust the treatment. I try to
be on top of all the newest information so I can
do the best.

Im a strong believer in Hippocrates, the Father

of Medicine. Amazingly, medical science is now
proving Hippocrates right. For example,
Hippocrates said the best way to treat disease is
through the immune system. And he talked about
the need for harmony and unity. He said if you
want to be healthy, your mind and body must be
in harmony with your environment.

Natural treatment secrets revealed

Can you believe he said those things 2,500

years ago?

The treatments I give are totally natural.

Number one, when the patients start with me,
I check all their body functions. I check their
kidney, liver, heart everything.

You can give a patient the best treatment, but

if he has disharmony with his God or his family or
his past, or if he has too much stress at work, the
patient wont do well.
I tell my patients, This is the time for you
to be at peace. You have to allocate all your
energies to get better. This is the healing time. You
have to forget about anything that bothered you.
And you have to have forgiveness. That way, your
body and your spirit and your mind are going to
be in harmony.

And then I start with the daily treatments. I

start with massage therapy for 45 to 60 minutes
for lymphatic drainage. I have a certified massage
therapist who gives this therapy, which helps
relax the patients throughout the day. So they
start with massage therapy, and they love it. And
they look forward to that massage therapy every
single day.

If these things are in harmony, no matter what

kind of disease the patients have, theyre going to
have better success in fighting that
disease.

Why do I feel so strongly that massage therapy

is necessary? Its because all these patients with
cancer or chronic diseases are toxic. If their
bodies were not toxic they wouldnt have gotten

23

immune system while weakening the cancer cells.

So if the patient also gets chemotherapy the result
will be better than with chemotherapy alone.
While patients are getting this IV therapy, they
are going to be relaxing in a spacious room. I
dont have a crowd of patients. I dont take more
than five patients per week. The patients are
friendly with each other. They have TV sets, and
I encourage them to watch comedies because
laughter boosts their immune system. We have a
good selection of comedies, or they can watch a
movie they bring from home.
The patients can also enjoy a spectacular
panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina
Island, and the mountains from our floor-to-ceiling
windows on the ninth floor.

the disease. And most have gone through

chemotherapy, which results in a lot of toxins in
their body. So the massage and the consequent
lymphatic drainage are not only going to relax
them, but also help them get rid of toxins.
And the lady who gives the massage is also
going to give them some reflexology. And that is
something else that the patients look forward to
because it balances their energy and helps them
get rid of pain. They love it.
So this is a key part of the treatment: Massage
therapy, lymphatic drainage, detoxification, and
reflexology.
Right after massage therapy, the patients go
into the infrared sauna. Its a special kind of sauna
that helps the patients detoxify. And the beauty of
it is that even the patients with lung disease and
heart disease can tolerate the heat of the infrared
sauna. Of course, a nurse or one of the doctors
watches the patients during their time in the
infrared sauna. They start with 10 or 15 minutes a
day in the sauna, and then as they tolerate it we
increase the timing. And usually we give them
about 20 minutes in the infrared sauna.

Helping patients visualize

whipping cancer
Also I show them a video cartoon that helps
patients visualize their own healthy immune cells
destroying their cancer cells. Watching this video
really energizes and encourages them. It really
gives them a positive attitude that theyre going to
whip their cancer.

Cancer hates heat!

Lets face it. When someone is diagnosed with

cancer, the big C, its scary. A lot of times
patients lose it. They lose their positive attitude.
They think cancer is going to take their lives. But
when I show them the animated cartoon of the
immune system killing cancer cells, they realize a
strong immune system can destroy their cancer
cells. [Editors note: See the chapter about Dr. O.
Carl Simonton for more information about this
powerful visualization technique for healing.]

Why do I do this? It relaxes the patients as

they get rid of the toxins through sweating and
perspiration. But the most important reason is
that cancer cells hate the heat. So the infrared sauna
helps weaken the cancer cells, making them easier
to kill off.
After the infrared sauna, the patients get
intravenous therapy for three or four hours. I give
them multiple minerals and some antioxidants
intravenously especially a high dosage of
Vitamin C. Thats because Vitamin C in high
doses has a toxic effect on cancer cells without
hurting the healthy cells. The Vitamin C helps
release hydrogen peroxide in the cancer cells,
and the hydrogen peroxide is going to act like a
cancer-killing substance.

And then theres a third IV that prolongs the

effect of the Vitamin C.

This IV therapy is a safe way of doing

something for these patients. It strengthens the

So these are things that patients will do

every day.

After the first IV is finished, we give them the

second IV a natural supplement we get from
Canada. This supplement is an extract of ginseng.
Its expensive. To make just one bottle of it takes
at least 100 pounds of ginseng! Its that potent.

24

Its totally safe and far less expensive than the

standard drugs. And it has no side effects.

In addition, we do a nutritional consultation.

Our certified nutritionist is one of the best. She
has helped a lot of emaciated patients patients
whove lost a lot of weight because of the cancer
or AIDS. She sees the patients and their families,
spending at least an hour with them to explain the
importance of diet.

I tell the patients, We want to help your body.

Lets see what your own body is going to do with
your cancer.
In addition to the massage therapy, infrared
sauna, IVs, and oral supplementation, we use
hyperthermia. Patients enjoy going into the
hyperthermia tent, which raises the body temperature. This helps them detoxify, and cancer hates
heat. All of our equipment is approved by the FDA
or registered by the FDA.

Cancers best friend: sugar!

For example, I truly take the sugar out of my
cancer patients diet. And before they see me,
most patients have no idea why sugar is so bad.
And not only do I explain it to them, other doctors
who work with me also talk with them about the
importance of diet.
My nutritionist explains that the cancer cells
have more receptors for sugar than a normal cell.
So eating less sugar weakens their cancer cells.
Cutting out sugar is sometimes tough for patients
because sugar and sweets are delicious. Our
dietician gives them recipes. Patients can see the
dietician as many times as they want.
And then we start the patients on a lot of
natural supplements. Some supplements are for
detoxification. Some supplements help build the
patients strength. This is especially important for
patients who have pancreatic cancers, since
theyre nauseous and vomiting a lot. These
patients are weak. I give some patients food
supplements high in calories and protein. My
cancer patients take a lot of supplements.
Diabetic patients get different supplements for
their diabetes, and I have a lot of supplements for
immune boosting. Thats important.
And some of the supplements are going to be
used to repair damaged DNA. It took a scientist
25 years to develop one such supplement, which
is proven to work through studies in mice and
even in human beings. If DNA is damaged, it can
initiate cancer. So we want to prevent further
damage.
And also I have an all-natural supplement that
blocks circulation to the cancer cells. This supplement has a lot of science behind it. It has been
studied and compared with standard medications.

[Editors note: In our other report Natural Cancer

Remedies, Dr. Morton Walker devotes an entire
chapter to the story of hyperthermia: How it was
discovered, and how it literally cooks cancer out of
the body. Visit: www.naturalcancerremedies.com.]

Natural treatments are

included in one flat fee
The natural treatments we give here at our
clinic cost a flat fee of $4,900 per week. We
inform the patients that insurance doesnt pay
for our treatments. Rather, theyll be paying
out-of-pocket. Of course, they could pay by
credit card or check. And that includes all the
natural treatments from the time they start until
they leave.
No one is going to be left unattended.
Sometimes I give them about $2,000 per week in
oral supplements. I use expensive stuff the
finest that money can buy. I dont care about the
money. I seek the best quality. So Im not going
to sacrifice quality to try to get the price down.
Im just going to give my patients the best, period.
So its all included: the dietician, the massage
therapist, the infrared sauna, the IVs, the
hyperthermia, and everything else is included in
that $4,900.
The only thing we dont pay for is the lab
work, which is covered by the patients insurance.
Since Im a licensed medical doctor, we have
never had any problem with the lab work for the
patients. And insurance normally covers that.
If patients are at Stage 1 or 2, they may be

to save the patients life.

here for only a couple of weeks. In that case we

give them detoxification and advice for diet,
supplementation, and IV treatments.
But if they come to me at Stage 3 or 4, theyre
really in bad shape. In that case Ill probably need
to treat them for four weeks. A few of these
patients are in good shape after just three weeks.
If Im satisfied theyre getting stronger, their liver
function is getting better, and theyre able to
continue their supplement treatment at home, I
will tell them three weeks is enough. But with the
Stage 4s, usually I will keep them for four weeks.

Unforgettable love story

How a Persian doctor in California saved a dying
six-year-old Iranian girl, and found love at first sight
Editors note: Ferre Akbarpour, M.D., got her education in Persia but has practiced medicine
in Southern California since 1978. Iraj Kiani, an oil tycoon who was based in London, told us the
remarkable story of how a desperate Iranian mother found healing for her dying six-year-old daughter.
We transcribed his riveting remarks, which appear below:

By Iraj Kiani

woman was still crying when she said, Doctor,

Im from a poor family, and I cant afford even to
buy this drug for one month. And the doctor
said, Im sorry. Im just a scientist. I cant do
anything for you.

It happened November 1, 2001. On that day

my life was turned upside down.
I had just flown in from Zurich to London to
prepare for a multi-million dollar oil deal. I was
supposed to leave the next day for West Africa.
The president of one of the African countries
wanted to discuss a big oil deal with me, since I
had the right to explore and produce gas and oil
in that country.

The poor woman continued to cry and,

without even saying goodbye, she hung up on him.
I knew the owner of that TV station. So I
picked up the phone and asked to speak to the
owner. I told him, I have an offer for you, but I
want you to promise me that you wont mention
my name on the TV. He gave me his word. So I
said, Heres the deal. Im going to give you my
credit card number. As long as Im alive I want to
buy that drug every month and send it to this
poor woman to save her babys life.

I came home that night. I was alone, relaxing

with a drink and getting myself ready to go out
for dinner and thereafter to fly to Africa. I turned
on the TV to watch the Iranian channel. I saw a
doctor on the TV, talking about a drug that had
just been approved by the FDA for actually curing
leukemia. After discussing the drug, he opened
the telephone lines to the public if they had any
questions.

He started asking me and begging me to let

him mention my name on the air. I said, No. Im
not doing it for publicity. Im doing it for my heart.
Im doing it for my God.

The first caller was a lady calling all the way

from Iran. She was crying so hard she had trouble
speaking properly.

URGENT message for the desperate,

crying mother!

She asked that doctor, How can I get this

drug? My six-year-old daughter was diagnosed
with leukemia last year. Weve spent all of our
money for the treatment of my daughter, but it
didnt work. And my daughter now is dying in
front of my eyes. Please tell me where I can get
this drug and how much is it?

The TV station owner went on the air in front

of the camera and said, Ladies and gentlemen,
Im sorry to interrupt the program, but I have an
URGENT message for the lady who was crying a
few minutes ago because she was not able to
buy a cancer drug for her baby. Please call us
immediately. Call us back. I know a gentleman
who wants to be a sponsor of your baby and buy
the drug for your baby. Call us.

expensive: about $3,300 a month. And the poor

President I cannot be there tomorrow. And that

president is famous; when he gets angry hes like
a tiger. I dont want to mention his name or his
country. It wasnt easy to postpone that appointment because I knew the delay would irritate him.

I under arrest? He said, Yes, sir, Im going to

teach you a lesson. You do not keep the President
of this country waiting for 10 days. I knew I wasnt
really under arrest, but the 10-day delay certainly
irritated him.

I couldnt think about the money, the oil

deal, or meeting the President. I just wanted to
accomplish my mission to save the girls life. I
had to follow my heart, no matter what.

The President asked one of the officers to bring

me a shot of whiskey.

Cell phone rings at the

worst possible time!

I was supposed to go out for dinner that night,

but I cancelled that, too.

I thought I had switched off my cell phone,

but that day I forgot. As the President was sitting
there like a tiger, angry with me, my cell phone
started ringing. I said, Im sorry, Mr. President.
I do apologize. I forgot to turn it off.

My phone rang. The call was long distance

from Iran. It was the poor woman who had cried
over her dying daughter. We spoke for an hour
and a half.

He said, Answer your phone. I said, Mr.

President, I will pick up the message later. He said,
No, answer your phone!

Are you human or an angel?

The mothers first question to me was, Who
are you? I said, Maam, my name is Iraj Kiani.
She said, No, I mean, are you a human? Are you
an angel? Why do you want to help my daughter?
I said, Just consider that this is a mission from
God. Give me your number and let me help your
baby, and your baby from now on will be my
baby.

I answered my phone. It was the woman from

Iran, the mother of the baby. She was crying again.
I said, Now why are you crying? You received the
drug last night. And she said, Yes, I have the drug.
I took it to my babys doctor this morning, and he
told me its not good for my baby. It doesnt work
on this particular leukemia.

It took me nine days to get the drug and send

it to her. It was embargoed. We couldnt send the
drug directly from America to Iran. I found somebody in Europe; I bought a ticket for someone to
take it to Europe. And when I was assured she had
the drug, then I flew to Africa to do the oil deal
with the head of state.

I said, Please, give me two or three hours.

Ill call you back. Dont cry, please. The same
God who brought us together will handle this.
Dont cry.
And I switched off my cell phone and put it
away. And the President said, What was that?
I said, Mr. President, that was a personal call.
He said, That phone call changed your face. What
happened to you? I said, Its a private matter.
Would you please leave it alone? And he said,
No, I want to know!

I flew from London to Africa, and when I

arrived at the Presidents mansion, he was sitting
and having barbeque chicken with one of his girlfriends.
I sat down and he said, Good afternoon,
Kiani. I replied, Good afternoon, Chief; please
forgive me. I know you were waiting for me for the
last 10 days, but I had a family problem. I hope
youll forgive me.

I was already in trouble with him, and I didnt

want to lose his friendship and his business. So
I told the President the whole story.
He got up, hugged me, and he started kissing
me. And he said, Kiani, at least one or two
people every week come to my mansion to request
consideration for timber, gold mining, copper
mining, everything. But I dont invite them to sit

I came here, and now Im the chairman of

My wife treated the little Iranian girl by long
distance. She sent her the finest nutritional supplements money can buy and was in close communication with the girls oncologist. The oncologist
was amazed at the girls recovery. He called Dr.

never seen it in my entire life at work. Im really
interested in your work. Id love to work with you
closely, and Id love to send you patients.
The little girls mother sent us her pictures,

Just a few years ago this clinic had only a few
hundred patients. Now we have 5,000 patients.
We were chosen by the American Medical Review

I started this myself. I want to finish it myself. And
God is great. He will help. He said, Fine, what
are you going to do? I said, I dont know. My
hands are full, and I have to call the doctor.
The President handed me his satellite phone
and told me to use it.

Only one doctor in the world can

save this little girl
I called the doctor. Amazingly, he picked up
the phone on the first ring. I asked him for advice,
explaining that the drug doesnt work on the baby.
He said, Im sorry, I cannot do anything any
more. I begged him to show me a way. And he
told me he knew of only one doctor in the world
who could save this baby. I said, Okay. Give
me the name. And he gave me the name and
telephone number of Ferre Akbarpour, M.D., in
Huntington Beach, California.
And it took me 10 days to be able to talk to her.
When I called her, she was in Chicago
delivering a lecture. She said, Mr. Kiani, I know
for the last several days you asked me to talk to
you, but Im sorry. Im a busy doctor and was
not able to talk to you. But I promise you Ill do
anything I can for your daughter. I said, Doctor,
shes not my daughter. I want to be her sponsor.
I want to buy a drug for her.

Chapter Five
The legendary doctor who harnesses his patients
mind power to whip hopeless cases of cancer
Dr. O. Carl Simontons most startling and
revolutionary discovery about cancer treatment is
this: Your beliefs influence your health for better
or for worse. In other words, your imagination can
help heal you or it can make an illness worse. It
can even kill you.

1989; 2: 8668: 888-91.)

Though Dr. Simontons discovery is wellestablished, most doctors today are still treating
ONLY the body as if the body were separate
from the mind. Thats just plain wrong because
the mind and the body are one.
According to Dr. Simonton, when a doctor
treats the patient as if the patients mind has
NO role in the treatment process, he fails to see
the mind as the single most powerful force for
healing.
Dr. Simonton treats the patient as a whole,
instead of separating the mind and body. His
methods have spread to holistic medical centers
here and there throughout America. A few
conventional doctors, too, are discovering and
applying his ideas.

Dr. Simonton generously let us interview him

by phone from his home in Malibu.
As Dr. Simonton explains, The impact of
counseling on the course of cancer is solidly
documented. Three randomized, match-controlled
studies now prove that counseling doubles the
expected survival time and improves the quality
of life. With counseling, we see increased numbers
of long-term survivors. And the side effects of
counseling are desirable. But theres a resistance to
embrace new concepts. Thats the problem.

With severe throat cancer,

Jim had only three months to live

Skeptic converts to believer

In fact, one skeptic, David Spiegel, M.D.,
a psychiatrist from Stanford University, did a study
in 1989 to disprove the effectiveness of Dr.
Simontons counseling methods on cancer patients.

Dr. Simonton treated his very first patient, Jim

M., back in 1971. Jim was 61 at the time. He had
advanced throat cancer. By the time he saw Dr.
Simonton, a doctor had given him the dreaded
news: You have three months to live.
Dr. Simonton turned Jims terminal cancer
completely around by teaching him how to use
his imagination to create mental images in three
key areas:
1) Healthy images of his bodys healing
mechanisms
2) Healthy images of the treatment he
was receiving
3) Healthy images of cancer as a disease
That third point may seem odd. After all, how
can you create a healthy image of something
as ugly and dangerous as cancer?

The results shocked Dr. Spiegel because all

of the cancer patients in the control group were
dead within 48 months of entering the study, but
one-third of those in the other group the cancer
patients who got counseling were still alive!
Those in the control group survived an
average of 19 months; those who received counseling survived an average of 36 months.
The Spiegel study, published in the prestigious
medical journal The Lancet, surprised the worldwide medical community. This study carries a lot
of weight because Dr. Spiegel started out as a
skeptic but couldnt ignore the facts. [Editors note:
Heres the reference for Dr. Spiegels study: Lancet

Dr. Simontons methods. In just six weeks he

went from extensive disease to no evidence
of disease. Hes remained free of disease to
this day. In fact Bob won the senior racquetball
championship for North Carolina in 2005.
Not bad for someone whod been at the
end stage of a battle against cancer he
was losing in 1974.

As Dr. Simonton explains, most cancer patients

have an unhealthy image of the disease. They
believe cancer is a powerful and deadly foe thats
difficult or impossible to beat. They may visualize
cancer as some kind of juggernaut or steamroller
thats going to run them over.
This kind of imagery is bad because it can
be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
But as Dr. Simonton explains, cancer isnt as
strong as most people believe it is. In fact, he says
cancer cells are actually weak, deformed, and
confused. No cancer cell has ever been known to
attack a healthy cell.

Dr. Simonton has maintained a close

personal friendship with Bob over the years.
He told us hed spoken to Bob recently.

Cancer cant even grow very well inside a

strong, healthy body. Cancer can only thrive inside
a weakened, unhealthy body. Its that simple.

Five years ago, a woman whod had two

bouts with breast cancer came to see Dr.
Simonton with advanced lung cancer. Using
his methods, she was able to go through
radiation and chemo with no significant side
effects. Shes been free of cancer for five years.
Dr. Simonton says, Shes thriving.

Woman whips breast cancer and

lung cancer with mind power

Within a month, tests showed Jim had no

evidence of cancer in his body. Just as surprising,
he had no side effects from the high-dose
radiation he was receiving. Following this victory,
Dr. Simonton went on to heal countless patients
using the same counseling method.

As you probably know, lung cancer is one

of the toughest cancers to beat. The famous TV
journalist Peter Jennings couldnt shake his lung
cancer even with all of his money. But Dr.
Simonton says, Its not a matter of money.
You have to tap into your bodys healing
process. Dr. Simonton says this idea isnt new
at all. It goes back to Hippocrates, the Father of
Medicine, who lived 500 years before Christ.

Bob, with abdominal cancer,

was at the end stage
In 1974 Dr. Simonton began working with
another hopeless cancer patient. Bob G., a
39-year-old man from Houston, was at the end
stage of his cancer. His cancer had spread
throughout his abdomen. His doctors offered
him no hope because the chemotherapy wasnt
shrinking his tumors. Whats more, the chemo
was giving him terrible side effects.

Surprisingly, Dr. Simonton says our thoughts

affect our physical health even at the microscopic, sub-cellular level. The key thought for better
health is hope. Cancers best friend is the
thought and feeling of hopelessness. Hope
is an essential ingredient in living life and
regaining health, says Dr. Simonton.

Bob had heard about Dr. Simontons psychological approach to fighting cancer. It seemed to
be his only hope.
Dr. Simonton was in Ft. Worth, Texas, at the
time. His phone rang, and Bob told him, I want
to come and see you. Dr. Simonton replied,
Id be happy to work with you on the phone.
Bob responded, Ill come to your office, and you
can decide what to do with me there.

Dr. Simonton warmly encourages longdistance patients to go through his self-help

books and CDs. And he also offers retreats for
those who believe they could benefit. Patients
who want to attend a retreat must first read the
two books in his Patient Package and start
applying the mental imagery techniques.

Bob spent three days in Ft. Worth, learning

to Dr. Simontons revolutionary and inexpensive

lifesaving techniques.
He says everyone in the healing profession
should honor the mind as a HUGELY important
component in health. But if that ever happened,
he says it would change the power structure,
which would change the economics of physicians,
hospitals, and the pharmaceutical industry. In
short, huge sums of money are at stake in the
U.S. cancer treatment industry.

Best of all, theres no downside to Dr.

Simontons methods, and potentially a huge
upside. His methods are proven to increase your
odds of whipping cancer even if you opt for
standard treatments such as surgery, radiation,
and chemo. Plus you can apply his methods even
without having to see Dr. Simonton in person.

Chapter Six
The best of both worlds:
Cancer Treatment Centers of America
ered she was pregnant. She went to her obstetrician, who told her the lump was probably just a
benign cyst.

If youre looking for the best of both worlds

in cancer treatment the best conventional
therapies combined with the best holistic therapies youll find them all under one roof at the
Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA).

Later she learned the shocking news: it wasnt

benign. She had a vicious form of breast cancer
that had spread to her lymph nodes.

The Centers employ medical doctors, naturopathic doctors, acupuncturists, counselors trained
in mind-body medicine (Dr. Carl Simontons
method), and spiritual counselors. Thus, the
Centers offer state-of-the-art surgery, radiation,
and chemotherapy, along with state-of-the-art
nutritional support, spiritual care, counseling, and
other holistic therapies. And everyone works
together as a team to heal the cancer patient.

A surgeon told her she had to have an abortion

immediately. He said her cancer was estrogenresponsive and that the hormones of pregnancy
would feed the disease. Whats more, he said the
chemotherapy would hurt the baby.
But Lynette didnt want an abortion. She
wanted to protect her baby while getting rid of her
cancer. She did have a single mastectomy, which
revealed that the cancer was particularly nasty.

Experience has proven that combining conventional therapy with holistic therapies makes it much
easier for patients to handle the side effects of
radiation and chemo. Thats because holistic
therapies such as nutrition and mind-body medicine strengthen the patients immune system.

Lynette was interested in healthy habits and

nutrition, so she asked several doctors what she
could do to improve her odds of survival. They
gave her a variety of unsatisfactory answers, such
as I dont know and nutrition doesnt matter.

Right now there are four such Centers spread

throughout the country. Theyre located in Zion,
Illinois; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Tulsa,
Oklahoma; and Seattle, Washington. The Seattle
Center is for outpatients only. The other three
centers are hospitals that can accommodate
in-patients. And a new Center will soon be
opening in Phoenix, Arizona.

Lynettes doctors insisted that she had to have

an abortion no ifs, ands, or buts. She realized
they werent going to let her be a partner in her
care; instead, shed be a bystander.

Six doctors tell Lynette, You must

have an abortion NOW!
By the time Lynette came to the CTCA in
Zion, shed seen six doctors. All six had stubbornly
insisted that she undergo an abortion right away
before her cancer treatment could proceed.

In fact, we interviewed the head of naturopathy, Dr. Tim Birdsall, N.D., who spoke to us by
phone from Arizona. He was in Phoenix preparing for the opening of the new Center.

But at CTCA, Lynette found a completely

different atmosphere. Instead of telling her what
to do, the doctors opened their ears and listened
to what she wanted. She told them she wanted to
protect her baby AND get rid of her cancer. She
told them she wanted nutritional support and

Dr. Birdsall told us a remarkable story about

Lynette B., who was 34 when she discovered a
lump in her breast. Upon examining her, her
family doctor told her, Its nothing to worry
about. Go home. Two weeks later she discov-

33

other natural and complementary therapies.

old. And Lynette remains cancer-free.

And thats what she got. CTCA put Lynettes

desires at the center of her treatment plan, letting
her be a full partner in all of her healthcare
decisions.

The doctors who told her she had to abort her

baby were just plain wrong.
Lynette gives high praise to CTCA. After all,
CTCA saved her life and her babys life. She says,
This is a place of healing. Its not a place where
sick people go to die. Its a place where people go
to heal, and thats what it feels like every single
time you walk into the hospital.

The doctors at CTCA realized they were

dealing not with one patient but with two
Lynnette and the baby in her womb. They were
determined to save both.

Insurance plans usually pay for treatment at

CTCA, though HMOs dont cover it.

CTCA doctors agreed with the pathology

report that Lynette was in great danger from an
aggressive cancer that had spread. They believed
it was important to treat her right away. Delaying
her treatment wasnt an option. This was a tough
dilemma: destroying the cancer without harming
her baby.

Fortunately, CTCA in Zion employs one of

the few gynecological oncologists in America.
Normally he doesnt treat breast cancer, but he
did treat Lynette because she was pregnant.
Researchers at CTCA discovered that chemotherapy in the second trimester, if carefully administered, will probably be safe for the baby. So
instead of giving Lynette giant doses of chemo
all at once, the doctors spread it out. She got the
same quantity of chemo, but in a milder way.

Chapter Seven
The grandmaster of
hyperbaric oxygen therapy
portable oxygen tank. He had an oxygen mask
on his face and was huffing and puffing. His face
was red, and his capillaries were dilated.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for terminally ill

cancer patients is lifesaving, says Dr. David
Steenblock, an osteopathic physician and
pathologist. It gives the body a blast of fresh air.
It pumps massive amounts of oxygen into the
brain. It gives you eight to nine times the oxygen
you normally breathe.

Dr. Steenblock asked him, Whats the

problem?
The man replied, They say Ive got cancer.
Its in my lungs. They wont operate because
if they take out any more of my lung, Ill die.
And if they give me radiation, thatll kill my
lung, and thatll kill me. And chemo wont
work on it. So Ive come to you to see what
you can do. They gave me about a month to
six weeks to live. Can you help me?

Its well-established that cancer HATES

oxygen. Thats why it astounds Dr. Steenblock
that most doctors ignore this lifesaving tool. He
should know, because he operates four hyperbaric
chambers in his clinic in Mission Viejo, California.
He cant imagine practicing medicine without
them.

Dr. Steenblock replied, I dont know.

Ill try.

Dr. Steenblock gave us a tour of his clinic.

And then we enjoyed a fine dinner with him,
during which time he gave us his views on the
best treatment options for cancer patients today.

He put the patient on a Gerson-type

vegetarian diet, but the man wouldnt follow it.
So Dr. Steenblock put him on hyperbaric
oxygen therapy plus intravenous Vitamin C at
more than 100 grams a day. He also gave him
Tagamet. Dr. Steenblock says, I was the first
doctor to treat a patient with Tagamet and
high dose Vitamin C.

He told us, An advanced cancer patient

whos been tortured and radiated and chemotherapized and has lost his appetite is MISERABLE. If
you put that patient into a hyperbaric chamber
once or twice a day and give him intravenous
Vitamin C, within a day or two hell want to start
eating again.

The man didnt die in the predicted month

to six weeks. In fact, Dr. Steenblock treated
him for about two years. And he did well.
He showed up once in a while to get his
vitamins.

Dr. Steenblock explained further, The hyperbaric oxygen therapy and intravenous Vitamin C
stimulate the immune system to clean up the
debris from the dying tumor. This debris poisons
the body and shuts down the immune system and
appetite. High doses of natural digestive enzymes
would have prevented that by digesting the junk
in the body.

One day the man called Dr. Steenblock and

said, Ive got this terrible pain in my lower
abdomen in my groin. The doctor replied,
Get to the hospital as soon as you can.
The man died on his way to the hospital
not of cancer but of an aneurism. He just
bled out. And the autopsy showed that his
cancer hadnt grown one bit during the last
two years.

Even a cancer patient who looks hopeless to

other doctors may have hope when Dr. Steenblock
uses his natural therapies.
For example, a terminal lung cancer patient
came to his office, pulling his little cart with his

35

Professor of pharmacology
gets hot under the collar

Dr. Steenblock. Thats because he has a great deal

of experience as a pathologist, and it takes a
pathologist to truly know cancer.

The effects of intravenous Vitamin C never

cease to amaze Dr. Steenblock. He once had a
conversation with a professor of pharmacology
from the University of Chicago who declared,
Vitamin C is dangerous! Anybody who gives
Vitamin C is crazy and should be put in jail.
Vitamin C causes uric acid and kidney stones.

Why pathologists know cancer

better than other doctors
As Dr. Steenblock says, As a pathologist,
you do a lot of autopsies. So you get to see how
disease affects the body. Everyones body is
different, no matter what.

Dr. Steenblock replied calmly, I disagree.

Ive given Vitamin C intravenously to 20,000
patients, and Ive never seen it cause kidney
stones. Instead of listening to and learning from
a doctor who knows what hes talking about, this
know-it-all professor shut his ears, got hot under
the collar, and walked off in a huff.

When you do autopsies on cancer victims,

you get to know what cancer looks like in the
bone. Youve sliced the bone and put your fingers
in the cancer. You see how it destroys the body,
how it goes to the kidneys and into the lung and
how it acts in the lung. You get an understanding
of how it spreads and how it grows. If you dont
see it and feel it, you really dont know it.

One day a good-looking 24-year-old college

kid walked into Dr. Steenblocks office. He said
his father was struggling with pancreatic cancer,
and he had some questions. So they started
talking, and Dr. Steenblock was explaining the
technical aspects of cancer and how the various
treatments work.

You see the common diseases and the rare

ones. You really get a broad spectrum of diseases.
Whenever anyone mentions rare diseases, Ive
usually seen them at the autopsy table.
Dr. Steenblocks interest in cancer goes back
decades. Twenty-five years ago, he and his wife
spent the first part of their honeymoon attending
the Cancer Control Societys annual convention.
He didnt want to miss the opportunity to learn
about the most effective cancer treatments for
his patients.

The young man asked deep, penetrating

questions about biochemistry. They were tough
questions, but Dr. Steenblock answered them well
because he knew the chemistry. Finally he told
the young man, Youre not here for your father.
Youre here for the government, arent you?
Where do you go to school?

Over the years, Dr. Steenblock has amassed

one of the largest libraries in the world on holistic
and alternative health. He doesnt just collect the
books; he reads them. Theres almost nothing he
doesnt know or hasnt heard of.

The kid was a student at Berkeley and was

working undercover for the state medical
authorities. Because of his academic background,
hed gotten keenly interested in their discussion,
and hed allowed his intellectual curiosity to get
the better of him.

Through his vast reading and personal

experience, hes found that infections are a major
problem in cancer patients. Cancer patients have
deficient immune systems, he explains, so they
often have infections. And you have to get rid of
those darn infections. Anti-fungals and antibacterials enhance cancer treatment.

Dr. Steenblock says he was a smart cookie

who knew what he was talking about: So I
offered to hire him because Im always looking
for smart people to work with. Theyre hard to
come by, Dr. Steenblock told us.

Most doctors still dont believe yeast is a

problem, which is incredible! Patients whove seen

Few doctors understand cancer as well as

36

Chemo kills the cancer and too

often kills the patient, too!

15 or 20 doctors without good results have come

to me, and I say, Aha. Yeast! They ask me, Why
didnt any of the other doctors diagnose this?
and I tell them its because other doctors dont
think yeast causes any problems.

As a pathologist, Dr. Steenblock did numerous

autopsies on people who were cured of cancer but
died from the chemotherapy. He says, You see
one body after another with no sign of cancer,
but there they are: lying on a cold slab. You start
to say, Well, wait a second. This chemo and
radiation may not always be appropriate. The
younger doctors in particular tend to be too
aggressive with the chemo. Using high doses,
they kill the cancer AND the patient!

Dr. Steenblocks darkfield

microscope reveals the culprit:
yeast!
For example, Dr. Steenblock told us about an
anemia patient suffering from chronic abdominal
pain and a bloated stomach. When she came to
him she was dying of pain. His darkfield microscope instantly showed she had yeast, so he put
her on some anti-fungals. Within a week, all of
her pain was gone. With a laugh and a twinkle in
his eye, he told us, Then she went back and told
the other doctors what a genius I was.

Dr. Steenblock says that chronic sinus

infections are a hidden cause of cancer and that
most doctors dont know how to diagnose it.
Its simple, he says. You just tap on the cheekbones or above the eyeball and ask the patient
whether its tender. Then tap between the eyes
and ask whether its tender.

The other doctors couldve seen the yeast.

They just werent looking.

Here are some other signs of hidden sinus

infections: If (1) you feel sick and have no reason
for having chronic fatigue, (2) if it started when
you had a cold six months ago, and (3) if youve
been sick and tired ever since then, thats a sign.
Pus is getting into your system and damaging
your whole body.

Make no mistake, yeast and fungus are

linked to cancer. As Dr. Steenblock says, The
esophagus and the iliocecal valve are the two
weakest parts of the body. Theyre the dirtiest,
and they have the most fungus. Thats what
you find when you do an autopsy of a cancer
victim. You also find swelling in that iliocecal
area because of back-pressure from the liver.
(The iliocecal valve is the valve between the
large and small intestines.)

These common infections

can kill you
According to Dr. Steenblock, sinus infections
can kill you. So can gum disease. Letting these
infections run loose in your body is disastrous.

Its important for cancer patients to commit

to better nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, says
Dr. Steenblock. Otherwise, You might as well
send the patient back to surgery, radiation, and
chemo.

He says the life expectancy in certain parts

of the Congo is 29 years; at 29, these people look
as if theyre 75. Theyve lost their teeth to gum
disease, and theyre dying of old age at 29.
Why? Because theyve had chronic infections
since childhood. Infections cause aging like
you wouldnt believe, and infection leads to
inflammation and aging as well as cancer.

But Dr. Steenblock has harsh words for

oncologists who scoff at patients who have a
rough time going through chemo and radiation.
He says their attitude stinks. He says these
conventional doctors need to bring holistic
doctors into their clinics to work together and
better serve the patient. He says its time for the
two camps to stop the fighting.

Caffeine kills cancer,

if you take it the right way
Surprisingly, one of least expensive and most

crucial for cancer patients.

effective ways to fight cancer is with coffee.

Caffeine is a great killer of cancer; it has a direct
effect. This is factual and well-established. Its
published. You can look it up, says Dr.
Steenblock. But heres the rub: Drinking coffee
does cancer patients no good whatsoever. You can
get the anti-cancer benefits only by taking the coffee rectally, through an enema.

Dr. Steenblock is deeply interested in cancer,

has studied it for decades, and has helped
countless patients get rid of cancer and other
diseases. But he declares, I dont treat cancer.
I clean up the body. I help bring the infections and
inflammation under control. I strengthen the
immune system.

The idea of a coffee enema may sound

strange. But Dr. Steenblock says its well-established in the medical literature that coffee enemas
flush toxins out of the liver and stimulate Tumor
Necrosis Factor, a substance that kills cancer.

The reason Dr. Steenblock doesnt treat

cancer is simple: If youre not doing cut-burnpoison [surgery, radiation, or chemo], youre
not practicing standard medicine for cancer
treatment. Thats where were at right now in
America. Because he doesnt practice medicine
the way conventional doctors do, the medical
authorities have hassled him.

For that reason, he believes coffee enemas

should be done FIRST, followed by colonic
hydrotherapy to clean out the patients colon.

The patient who called Dr.

Steenblock an unprintable name

Dr. Steenblock is hauled

before the medical board

The day we interviewed Dr. Steenblock, he

told us about Nedva, a loyal patient hed seen earlier in the day. Nedva is now 90. Back in 1981,
when she was 65 years old, she came to Dr.
Steenblock with a shoulder problem. He gave her
steroids, but that didnt help. Four months later
when she mentioned she was also constipated, Dr.
Steenblock told her, Have a colonic. She replied,
O.K. Ill have one.

For example, the medical board once accused

him of using substances that werent listed in the
Physicians Desk Reference (PDR). Hed prescribed natural substances zinc, lactobacillus
acidophilus, and other nutritional products to
a patient suffering from chronic diarrhea.
The board accused him of medical
malpractice, not because he had harmed the
patient he hadnt but because he wasnt
using standard prescription drugs!

A couple of days later, Nedva saw Dr.

Steenblock and exclaimed, What the hell is
wrong with you? He said, What? She said, You
*ss hole! He said, What? What?

Dr. Steenblock won this fight. But it was

a hassle.

She asked, Why didnt you tell me about a

colonic? You let me suffer for four months, and
after one colonic all my pain is gone. You turkey!
Dr. Steenblock is a gifted storyteller, and we had a
good laugh over this story.

He says, Where is it written that I must

prescribe drugs? Why are medical doctors drug
doctors? Its not a law. Its not written up. The
medical boards are brainwashed by the pharmaceutical industry and the medical schools. The
medical schools dont teach natural medicine at
all. They dont teach anything about vitamins.

Colonic hydrotherapy supports the

cancer patients immune system
Dr. Steenblock said a colonic, surprisingly,
often solves joint pain and back pain in a way
that makes patients feel like a million bucks.
But getting rid of all the accumulated junk in the

I took a course in pharmacology at the

University of California at Irvine Medical School
about six years ago. This is the drug course

external counter-pulsation gives patients a new

lease on life.

the course for all the medical students to learn

about drugs. Out of that whole course, there was
one paragraph about vitamins: two sentences.
Thats it! Theyre teaching esoteric, weird stuff
that has no bearing whatsoever on the practice
of medicine.

Dr. Steenblock has set an ambitious goal: to

live to be 120 years old. To reach this goal, he eats
right and injects himself with stem cells. He also
gives his patients the benefit of stem-cell therapy
where appropriate. (He doesnt use the controversial embryonic stem cells, which have produced
disappointing results. Rather, he uses adult stem
cells, with amazing results. Hes on the cutting
edge of ethical stem-cell research.)

Dr. Steenblock has helped many cancer

patients and will keep doing so. If he believes
another doctor can better serve the patient, he
doesnt hesitate to refer the patient to another
clinic.
But because of the lack of health freedom in
America, Dr. Steenblock doesnt advertise for
cancer patients. Nor does he mention cancer on
his excellent Website. Thats because he doesnt
want to have a target on his back.

Other doctors have invited Dr. Steenblock to

join their practices, but he turns these invitations
down. He says, What would I do without my
hyperbaric oxygen chambers? Practicing medicine
without using hyperbaric oxygen would be like
losing a testicle.

In recent years, Dr. Steenblocks focus has

been on helping victims of strokes and brain
injuries. His hyperbaric oxygen therapy and
other cutting edge therapies enable such
patients to achieve astonishing recoveries.
Whats more, hes found that the same therapies
that help cancer patients also do wonders for
stroke victims.

Costs at Dr. Steenblocks clinic vary, depending

on each case.
One advantage of going to his clinic is that
you get to see Dr. Steenblock himself one of
the great medical pioneers of our time.

Contact information:

For example, he uses an external counterpulsation device that pushes blood up from the
legs during the rest phase of the heart. This
stimulates blood vessels to expand and to make
new blood vessels, causing increased oxygenation of internal organs.

Chapter Eight
The vitamin doctor with
the healing touch of a country doctor
[Editors note: After Dr. Privitera gave us a tour of his clinic, we sat down to interview him
over lunch in his favorite nearby restaurant, which serves fresh, healthy food.]

Like several of the doctors mentioned in

previous chapters, Dr. Jim Privitera has
mastered the darkfield microscope. This amazing
microscope gives him the super-magnification he
needs to see whats REALLY going on with the
patients health.

environment. Therefore, I use lots of antioxidants, in large amounts, which forces oxygen into
the aerobic pathways.
He also says its wise for cancer patients to
take two to four enzymes containing pancreatin
before meals because enzymes digest the coating on cancer cells so the immune system can
recognize and attack them. He adds that
enzymes are beneficial to everyone not just
cancer patients.

Dr. Privitera has another thing in common

with some of these doctors: Hes suffered
persecution for not conforming to conventional
beliefs and practices. Indeed, the great medical
pioneers down through the centuries have suffered
persecution. Most doctors, it seems, stubbornly
resist new discoveries in medicine, even though
discoveries are what science is all about.

With few exceptions, says Dr. Privitera,

blood clots are the hidden culprit in metastatic
cancer. Thats because clots restrict oxygen,
which encourages cancer cells to thrive. Clots
also produce a substance called platelet derived
growth factor that suppresses the immune
system, thus promoting the spread of cancer in
the body.

Heres what Dr. Privitera told us about the

lack of health freedom in America:
In California, a doctor is jailed for treating
cancer if he isnt Politically Correct. I practice in
California, and Im Politically Incorrect. So I dont
treat cancer. The good news is, I dont have to.
Political correctness in cancer treatment, of
course, means using toxic therapies such as
chemo and radiation.

Whats the best way to detect blood clots?

Darkfield microscopy.
As Dr. Privitera explains, The darkfield
microscope is a powerful tool for gauging the
patients risk of cancer, heart attack, and stroke.
Id like to know why this method isnt widely
used. The fact that it isnt is utterly amazing.

As Dr. Privitera explains, Sometime in the

21st century, treating cancer will become mostly
old-fashioned. Since cancer is almost always triggered by nutritional or immune deficiencies or
both the doctor of the future will prevent and
heal cancer by boosting nutrition and the immune
system. I have no doubt that elementary common
sense will one day prevail. Dr. Privitera is a
doctor of the future far ahead of his time.

Detecting a problem is one thing. Solving it

is another. Dr. Privitera gives his patients the
nutritional supplements they need to solve the
problem of blood clots. If you have any questions about supplements, you can call Dr.
Priviteras office at 626-966-1618.
The darkfield microscope has another
advantage: it shows the patients blood on a giant
video monitor. Both Dr. Privitera and his patient
can see the blood magnified 14,000 times, and
Dr. Privitera can identify and explain the problem

He goes on to say, Nothing is more important

in restoring the immune system than increasing
oxygenation. Cancer cannot live in a high oxygen

Thirty-six-year-olds
ovarian cancer was huge

areas on the screen. This helps the patient

understand the nature of the illness and gives the
patient a strong incentive to comply with the
treatment.
Follow-up visits will show, on the screen, that
the patients blood is improving or that the
patient is cheating (that is, not following Dr.
Priviteras dietary recommendations or taking the
recommended supplements).

In August, 1977, 36-year-old Elizabeth L. was

going through a nasty divorce that caused major
stress in her life. (Dr. Privitera says, Stress reduction is extremely important in fighting cancer.)
Tragically, Elizabeth developed serious
ovarian cancer. The growth was huge. Luckily,
Elizabeth was thin, so doctors could easily
diagnose her cancer by physical manipulation.
Had she been overweight, they might not have
detected the cancer.
Elizabeth knew about Dr. Privitera. She recalls,
My uncle had gone to Dr Privitera too late with
pancreatic cancer. We lost him, but my uncle was
pleased with the program. When I went to see
Dr. Privitera, I was such a mess that he didnt even
want to look at my blood. Instead, he put me on
intravenous vitamin therapy and gave me a list of
eating instructions: cut down on meat, no coffee,
and no drinking or smoking. That was in
November of 1977.
I took 90 nutritional pills a day. I took the
tests. I was feeling better. I had gained weight.
After a year, Dr. Privitera cut the supplements
back. Today my family doctor says Im healthy.
Until a few years ago, the hospital called my sister
every year, asking whether I was still alive. I am.
I work as a bus driver. Look for me the next time
you take the Sunset Boulevard route to downtown
Los Angeles.

Pearl Harbor survivor says

to hell with Jackie Onassiss
cancer doctors
One of Dr. Priviteras most memorable
patients is John H., who survived the sneak
attack at Pearl Harbor. At age 78, another sneak
attack hit him: he lost 35 pounds in two months.
He was hacking and coughing, which caused
sharp pains. The doctors took x-rays and told him
he had lung cancer.
A few years earlier, John had read that the
government was trying to put Dr. Privitera behind
bars for helping patients get rid of cancer. He
says, I knew I wanted him to be my doctor. So
he drove 240 miles from his home in the desert to
Dr. Priviteras office.
Dr. Privitera gave John a urine test that
showed the other doctors were wrong in diagnosing him with lung cancer. But the test showed he
was pre-cancerous. Other tests revealed major
nutritional deficiencies and an overload of iron in
Johns system.

Patient fried by radiation

Every week John drove a 480-mil round trip to

see Dr. Privitera for follow-up visits. He followed
the program and got stronger. During his treatment, John gave this testimonial:

Fifty-year-old Beverly L., a personnel clerk for

a California school district, was the victim of
breast cancer surgery and radiation. Following
radiation, she lost the ability to eat and couldnt
keep anything down. Her HMO doctors called it
irritable bowel syndrome but couldnt help her.
Her radiation oncologist denied that her illness
had anything to do with radiation. She was
desperately ill sicker than shed ever been in
her life. It was even worse than her cancer.
In desperation, Beverly came to Dr. Privitera,

I was pretty low when I started treatment

like two or three on a scale of 10. Now Im up
around 7, I guess. My weights coming back up
to 150 from 135. Now Im always eating. This is
the treatment I wanted. Jackie Onassis with all of
her millions could still be alive. Instead, she went
to chemotherapy doctors. Those doctors killed
her. To hell with them.

A beautiful teenage girl (whose initials are

B.B.) was dying. She couldnt overcome her
eating disorders: anorexia and bulimia.
Conventional doctors were unable to help her.
She was going downhill fast losing weight and
even her hair. Her parents were at the end of
their rope.

who told her, Radiation affects the entire body.

He put her on the path to recovery.
Beverly says, Dr. Privitera saved my life. He
told me his entire goal is for the patient to get
well. Ive never heard any other doctor say that.

Dr. Privitera says,

Stop the medical insanity!

In desperation and as a last resort, they went

to see Dr. Privitera the vitamin doctor.

Dr. Privitera offers this thought about toxic

therapies: One of the most toxic drugs is the
chemo drug 5 FU. One of the side effects is
death. Its written right in the fine print. I wonder
how many doctors tell their patients about the
side effects.

B.B. says, Other doctors talked to my

parents about me in my presence. Dr. Privitera
didnt talk to my mother. He talked to me. He
wouldnt force me to take pills. He didnt act like
the typical doctor who wants you to get in and
out. He was personal. Long ago a doctor said I
looked like a beached whale. But Dr. Privitera
took my hand and told me, Youre such a very
beautiful girl. I dont understand why you need
to keep losing weight.

You dont give chemo or radiation to a well

person, but conventional medicine doesnt hesitate to give these to a sick person as a first
hope rather than as a last resort! He says chemo
and radiation tear the immune system down. To
whip cancer, the patient must build the immune
system up!

Without Dr. Privitera, I know I could have

died. There was no drug that could have helped
as fast as vitamins. I developed a desire to get
better. My appearance improved. My color
returned. I built muscle. The hair loss stopped.

To back up his point, Dr. Privitera quotes

Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine: Leave
your drugs in the chemists pot if you can heal
the patient with food. In other words, use
nutrition and foods first, and drugs last.

When Dr. Privitera last spoke to this beautiful

young lady, she was 18, her weight was a normal
135, and she was entering college as a freshman.
With her health back, she now has a bright
future ahead of her.

Dr. Privitera takes seriously the Hippocratic

Oath he took when he graduated from medical
school. With all the other graduates, he raised his
right hand and swore to work for the good of
the sick, to the utmost of my power.

Chapter Nine
The cancer victim who fired her doctors, healed herself,
and became a holistic doctor to heal others
In 21 days you can just about get rid of any cancer,
said Dr. Renee Welhouse, N.D., Ph.D.
In 1971 Renee Welhouse, a Midwestern woman from Wisconsin,
was just in her 20s when she got the heartbreaking news: She had cancer
the big C. Her doctors said drastic surgery was necessary.
They rushed her onto an operating table for a bilateral mastectomy.
band rented a villa on Jamaica Beach in Texas for
a month. We went down there, and after about
two weeks I finally read that book because I didnt
have anything else to read. And it changed my life.

But that was only the start of her cancer

nightmare. The cancer kept sneaking back,
appearing in various organs of her body.
So between 1971 and 1985 Renee underwent
15 surgeries including a hysterectomy, a thyroidectomy, and an unsuccessful bone marrow transplant.

At the time, I had an arsenal of industrialstrength prescription drugs in the bathroom:

Prednisone, steroids, oral chemo all kinds of
stuff. And I flushed them all down the toilet! My
liver enzymes were shot because of all the
Prednisone, and my liver went crazy. It was just
one thing after another. And so I just threw all
those drugs away and never went back. That was
22 years ago.

In 1985 her doctors told her she needed two

more drastic surgeries to save her life: a leg
amputation and a liver transplant. By then
Renee was weary of all the surgeries, radiation
treatments, chemotherapies, and drugs.

A Miracle in Bible class

Because her illness was grave, Renee turned to
her faith and prepared to meet her Maker. Then a
woman in her Bible study class said she knew a lot
about natural healing methods. The woman told
Renee, Oh, you can get over this. You just dont
poop right, and you have parasites.

How Renee healed herself

after firing her doctors
When I interviewed Renee, she was still completely free of cancer. She still had both legs, and
her original liver was in tiptop shape. She was the
picture of health. She regained her health by disobeying and firing all of her doctors.

Renee thought she was nuts! It sounded like

the most ridiculous thing shed ever heard.

She concluded that her doctors were just plain

wrong. And time proved her right.

Then the woman handed her a book, Tissue

Cleansing through Bowel Management, by Dr.
Bernard Jensen, N.D., D.C. When she read the title,
Renee rolled her eyes and thought, Give me a
break! After all, her doctors said she needed a leg
amputation and a liver transplant. How could this
woman know more than the doctors?

How did Renee heal herself ? She cleaned out

her colon and got her guts working right. She got
rid of her parasites. She detoxified her whole body.
And she started eating right with special attention to proper food-combining principles. In short,
she followed to the letter the advice of Dr.
Bernard Jensen, the author of the book shed read
at Jamaica Beach.

Renee told me, When you dont have long to

live, you do some pretty unusual things. My hus-

43

Dr. Renee told me, Cancer is just a symptom

of a deeper underlying problem. When you identify and solve this problem, the cancer disappears.
She added, In 21 days you can just about get rid
of any cancer. And she proved it over and over
one patient at a time.

Having whipped her hopeless and terminal

case of cancer, Renee was astounded by the
natural healing power of the human body. To say
that Dr. Jensens book gave her a new lease on
life would be an understatement. So she sought
out the man whose book had saved her life and
studied directly under him, learning all of Dr.
Jensens health secrets.

She helped so many people get rid of cancer

that the government took notice of her.

Dr. Renee thought long and hard about what

might have caused her cancer. She strongly suspected the culprit was the polio vaccine she had
received as a child.

Government officials burst into

Dr. Renees office to seize
her $20,000 microscope
One day in 1999, government agents burst into
Dr. Renees office and told her they were going to
confiscate her darkfield microscope. They said it
was illegal for her to use it.
Dr. Renee fought them. She told them she had
a Ph.D. in nutrition and needed the microscope for
her research. She also told them she was a member of the research board of the Bradford Institute
in Chula Vista, California. She explained that her
research for the Bradford Institute required a darkfield microscope.

Cancer: look beyond the

symptom to the cause
Eventually Renee became a naturopathic doctor herself and entered private practice to share
her remarkable health secrets with cancer victims
and others. Along the way she also earned a Ph.D.
in nutrition.
In 1996 Dr. Renee also interned at American
Biologics to master the Bradford BVPM High
Resolution Microscopy System for peripheral
blood assessments. O.K., I admit thats a mouthful.
So Ill just call it a darkfield microscope from
now on.

Microscope shows what

the government doesnt
want you to see

A darkfield microscope is far superior to the

typical microscope a doctor might have in his
office. This incredibly powerful scientific instrument costs about $20,000 and magnifies the
patients blood 14,000 times. It also displays the
magnified image on a large flat-screen monitor
for both the patient and the doctor to see.

The government agents grudgingly backed off

from their threat to confiscate her costly scientific
instrument.
Why would the government or the medical
establishment care whether Dr. Renee used a
darkfield microscope? She speculated that the
medical establishment doesnt want patients looking at their own blood under ultra-magnification
because theyd see all the junk floating in it
such as undigested fragments of prescription
drugs, parasites, spirochetes, and slime mold.

Only about 200 to 400 such microscopes are

in use in all of Americas clinics at this time.
Dr. Renee called her darkfield microscope
indispensable in her practice. This amazing tool,
along with analysis of the patients saliva and
urine, gives a razor-sharp picture of the patients
health.

Dr. Renee Welhouse suddenly dies

in collision with semi-trailer
As we were going to press with the first edition
of this Special Report, we got the shocking news
that Dr. Renee had suddenly died at the age of 57.
It happened on Wednesday, March 7, 2007. At

Its puzzling that so few doctors in America are

using the darkfield microscope, which would show
them at a glance whats really going on with their
patients health.

44

10:35 a.m. while driving to her clinic, her car collided with a semi-trailer. Emergency personnel
rushed her to the University of Wisconsin
Hospital in Madison, where she died shortly
before noon.
All of Dr. Renees patients and co-workers
were stunned and heartbroken. Their grief was
beyond words. Everyone who knew her felt a deep
and irreplaceable loss.
Tragically, Dr. Renees clinic closed following
her death. But there was too much valuable information in the chapter about her clinic to delete it
from this new edition. So weve reprinted the
chapter with appropriate changes.
To make up for the readers disappointment
that Dr. Renees clinic is no longer open, weve
added chapters to the new edition highlighting
two outstanding clinics in Reno, Nevada (chapters
two and three).

cancer was gone. By 2002, Jims PSA was starting

to rise a bad sign.
He developed a low-grade fever, for which he
took antibiotics. He was losing weight. Jim
describes his alarming condition: I was sinking
and sinking and sinking.
The low-grade fever lasted months. His doctor
referred him to an oncologist, who gave him
various drugs and injections. Jim was still losing
weight. It turned out to be bone cancer, which
was attacking him from head to toe.
Jims two ugliest tumors were on his forehead
and on his inner thigh, near his knee. But he had
other tumors as well.
A specialist recommended that he start
chemotherapy right away.

Case study: Patient was

given 30 days to live!

But thats when Jims daughter stepped in and

said NO WAY! Shed heard of a lady in
Wisconsin whod helped someone get healed of
diabetes using natural, holistic methods. She
insisted that her Dad go up to Wisconsin to see
the lady, saying, If it doesnt work, you can still
have the chemotherapy.
So Jim went up to see Dr. Renee. She told him
his cancer was grave, but gave him hope: I dont
heal. Youll heal yourself if you do what I tell you.
But if you dont change your lifestyle, youll be
dead within months. Jim got the message loud
and clear. He followed the program to the letter
and does so to this very day.
Jim had asked a conventional doctor about a
mole on his leg and was told, Its O.K. But Dr.
Renee told him, Its not O.K. Its got to go! The
mole was actually cancer trying to erupt from his
body. Dr. Renee gave him an herb to put on the
mole to draw the cancer out.

Jims daughter tells her Dad,

Chemo? NO WAY!

In 1996 a cancer patient named Pam Woolen

came to Dr. Renees clinic and had to lie down
on the clinics floor for lack of strength. She
had ovarian cancer with metastasis to the liver,
and her doctor had given her only 30 days to
live. Dr. Renee turned her cancer around, which
inspired Pam, too, to become a naturopathic
doctor. Today Dr. Pam Woolen is in private practice in Monroe, Wisconsin.
Sadly, conventional doctors ignore the
underlying problems that cause cancer and focus
ONLY on the symptom: the cancer itself.

Jim had bone cancer

and was sinking fast
Back in 1993, Jim M., a 61-year-old carpenter
from Chicago, got the bad news: he had prostate
cancer. The doctors solution was simple: We
take it out! So his doctor rushed him onto an
operating table to remove his prostate.

A tumor the size of a fist

comes out of Jims leg!

Jim was O.K. for the next nine years, but the
doctor kept him on prescription drugs. The doctor
still monitored Jims PSA score to make sure the

The big tumor on Jims leg was like an octopus. As it began shrinking, he could feel the
tumors tentacles pulling loose from his groin to
45

his ankle. Then one day when he was at home, the

tumor just came out of his leg. It was the size of
his fist. This left a hole in his leg big enough to
drop a jumbo egg into, says Jim.

After that, Dr. Renee said it was O.K. to scale

his colonics back to every other day for a while. A
colonic only once in a while is all Jim needs now
to maintain his superb colon health.

But within a few days without surgery

the hole closed up! Incredible as it sounds, the
skin came back together and healed naturally,
leaving a fresh new layer of skin.

Instead of getting colonic treatments from a

professional, Jim bought a colema board. This
enabled him to do his colonic treatments in the
privacy of his own bathroom at home a
significant saving.

The healing, regenerative power of the human

body never ceased to amaze Dr. Renee.

A professional colonic hydrotherapy session

costs between $50 and $100, depending on where
you live. In smaller towns, the cost is lower; in
bigger towns, higher. But Jims colema board
cost him $250, and with proper care it should
last a lifetime.

The same thing happened to the ugly tumor

on Jims forehead. Because he followed Dr.
Renees program, it just came out naturally, with
no surgery whatsoever, and the hole filled in
naturally with a fresh new layer of skin.

You might find this hard to believe, but Dr.

Renee said that someone with a colon in tiptop
shape will have a bowel movement about 30 minutes after each meal. Thats three eliminations a
day. Once a day isnt enough. She said the reason
most Americans eliminate only once a day or
less is the typical American diet, which causes
the colon to become sluggish and lazy.

Jim made a commitment to make permanent

lifestyle changes, especially dietary changes. As
Dr. Renee told him, if he ever goes back to his
old eating habits, his cancer will come back
with a vengeance! Thats because the body has a
sort of memory of the cancer. And when the
bodys environment returns to its previous state,
cancer gets the message that its welcome to
come back.

She maintained that the most effective way to

get the colon back in shape is through colonic
hydrotherapy, a parasite-cleansing program, and
a healthy eating plan.

Parasites and cancer are linked,

according to this doctor
Dr. Renee put Jim through a program that
cleansed the major organs of his body of toxins
and eradicated his parasites. Parasites and cancer
THRIVE in a weak, sickly, polluted body.

How to get rid of the

unmentionable cause of cancer
Shocking as it may sound, Dr. Renee said
the typical American is carrying parasites.
Unfortunately, the parasites make themselves at
home after entering us. Parasites, too, have to
eliminate their waste, so they excrete substances
that poison our bodies.

Dr. Renee said that parasites, such as the

common roundworm, hookworm, whipworm,
pinworm, and heartworm, are unbelievably easy
to pick up. You can get parasites from food or
water, from mosquitoes, or through the nose or
skin. Some parasites are easily visible with the
naked eye; others are microscopic.

Parasites can come into the colon through

our food or water. From the colon they can
migrate to the various organs of the body and into
the blood. Getting rid of parasites isnt a simple
matter. It takes about three months because of
the parasites reproductive cycle.

To get at the root of Jims health problems,

Dr. Renee started with Jims colon, putting him
through a rigorous program of colon cleansing.
Thats because death often begins in the colon.
So for 70 days straight Jim underwent colonic
hydrotherapy.

The absolute best and most reliable way to

get rid of parasites is to work with a knowledge46

stressed the need to help the skin eliminate impurities. After all, the skin is the bodys largest eliminative organ even larger than the liver.

able holistic doctor who has experience in this

area.
Dr. Renees nutritional counselor gave Jim
strict guidelines for eating, which he followed to
the letter.

Like many holistic doctors, Dr. Renee recommended that people give every square inch of
their skin a good dry brushing every day thats
right, brushing. You can obtain the two brushes
she recommended a facial brush and a body
brush at www.bernardjensen.com. Just click on
skin brushes and select the Skin brush combo.
At this writing, the combo costs less than $20.

Heres a brief summary of Dr. Renees food

plan:
BREAKFAST: Fruits and juices (no fats,
vegetables, or protein). Organic, if possible.
LUNCH: Vegetables together with healthful
fats such as extra-virgin olive oil or flaxseed
oil (no protein). Organic, if possible.

This dry skin brushing exfoliates the dead skin

cells, which renews the skin and helps it get rid of
impurities. And brushing stimulates all the bodys
acupuncture points.

SUPPER: Protein together with vegetables

(no starch or fruit). Organic, if possible.
Sweets are permitted, but no refined sugar.
Honey, authentic maple syrup (not the fake stuff),
and stevia are allowed because theyre natural
sweeteners. Carob is also allowed.

Dr. Renee also recommended hot-and-cold

hydrotherapy. For example, she said you should
always end a hot shower with a cold shower.
Or if you take a sauna bath, you should end it
with a cold shower to close your pores.

You can find more details about food combining as well as delicious recipes in two books by
Lee DuBelle: Proper Food Combining Works: Living
Testimony and Proper Food Combining Cookbook.

This hot-and-cold therapy effectively moves

the blood from the extremities to the core. This
movement of blood helps the healing process.

The genius of Dr. Renees eating plan is its

simplicity: it enables the stomach to digest each
meal COMPLETELY before the next meal arrives.
People who eat with this plan, and whose colons
are in tiptop shape, will have a good bowel
movement about half an hour after each meal.
And each elimination will feel complete.

Besides these therapies, Dr. Renee showed her

patients how to cleanse their livers, gallbladders,
and kidneys.

In a hushed tone, the

chiropractor says,
I cant legally tell you this, but

Did you know thats how the colon is supposed

to work? When your colon is working right, it
moves the waste out of your body fast in just
hours. A sluggish colon causes ill health because
the slow-moving sludge can get stuck in pockets
of your colon, providing the ideal habitat for
parasites. And the parasites create toxins that
drag your health down.

In April of 2004, Judy M. from Madison,

Wisconsin, learned she had an aggressive form of
breast cancer. Shes a high school economics
teacher with 33 years of experience. Doctors
gave her six months to live.
Judys doctor got right to the point: Meet
with the surgeon IMMEDIATELY!

Death begins in the colon

The surgeon was a nice man. But as Judy

looks back on the experience, she says,
Everything was rush, rush, rush: Youve gotta
move on this. Weve gotta get this scheduled.
Ive got an opening in three days.

Thats why Ilya Mechnikov, the Russian born

bacteriologist and 1908 Nobel Laureate, warned:
Death begins in the colon. Conversely, the return
to health begins with cleansing the colon.

feeder lines. They are pathways that feed cancer.

Judys thermography showed that those feeder
lines were dissolving and moving far away from
where her cancer had been.

And so she was rushed onto the operating

table for a lumpectomy.
As she was coming out of the anesthesia, she
learned that the doctors werent sure they got
all the cancer out. They said they needed to open
her up again right then and there! So she went
under the knife for a second time on the same day.

Judy didnt cancel the chemo treatment till

they called her name in the waiting room to
have her blood worked on. She met with the
oncologist and showed him her thermographic
images. She told him, Im not going through
with the chemo.

Unbelievably, the surgeon called her again

just five days later and said, I think we got it all,
but I want a safety valve because we might have
missed something we couldnt detect. I suggest
you be opened up again. And so he cut open her
incision for a third time within a week.

He replied, Good for you. If I can help in any

way possible, let me know.
Judy then made an appointment with the
radiologist to talk to him. She thought she owed
him an explanation for why she wasnt going
through with the radiation treatments.

Judy was supposed to undergo radiation

and chemo after she healed up from the three
surgeries.

The radiologist thumbed through her records

and said, Whats up? Were a little behind here.
We should be starting the radiation treatment.

She happened to mention to a chiropractor

shed worked with that she was undergoing
treatment for aggressive breast cancer. The
chiropractor took her aside and, in a hushed tone,
said, I cant legally tell you this, but cancer
responds well to holistic treatment. He urged
her to see Dr. Renee. Hed never met her, but
hed heard good things about her.

Judy replied, No. Im here to tell you that

Im not going to do the radiation because Im having good success with the natural approach.

Judys radiologist blew his stack

The radiologists face turned beet red with
rage as he blew his stack! He chewed Judy out,
basically calling her an idiot. He said he was going
to call all the doctors involved in her surgery and
tell them shed chosen the WRONG path and that
he was going to get her back on the right one.

Its shocking that health care professionals

like this chiropractor are gagged from telling the
truth in America, a country that supposedly has
freedom of speech!

Give me three months and Ill

prove you dont need chemo

Judy discussed the holistic program with her

family physician (not with her surgeon). He said,
That sounds fine. Give it the three months.
Go for it. Just keep me informed.

After yelling and screaming at her for a while,

he calmed down a little and said, Look, we all
need good nutrition, but it cant heal anybody.
Nutrition isnt going to work. Youre going to be
dead in a couple of months if you dont get on
the radiation table as soon as possible. Youre not
walking out of this building till weve got you
scheduled.

After just seven weeks on the program, Judys

thermographic images proved she didnt need
chemo or radiation.

Its worth noting that the radiologist gave her

that warning five years ago and that Judy is still
alive and free of cancer.

You see, wherever cancer is located, there are

roads leading to it. These roads are called

Then he told Judy, Were going out to the

main desk to schedule an appointment right now!

Well, Judy took his advice. Dr. Renee outlined

the program and told her, Give me three months,
and Ill prove you dont need chemo.

Stewart is a 58-year-old executive with a

Milwaukee foundry.
Unexpectedly, he rammed his cart right into
a tree and bounced out of it onto the grass.
Doctors in the foursome behind him saw what
happened and came over to help. They asked,
Are you O.K.? What happened?
Stewart told them, I didnt see it. But Im
O.K. They told him he wasnt O.K. and needed
to get to the emergency room right away. A CAT
scan and an MRI revealed an unidentified mass
on the right occipital lobe of his brain.
The doctors wouldve wheeled him into
surgery the next morning, but they had to wait
a week so he could wean himself off the prescription drug he was taking. So the surgery took
place on July 23, 2006. The surgeons discovered
that the unidentified mass was glioblastoma
multiforme a deadly form of brain cancer.
After the operation Stewart went home for four
weeks. Then he started six weeks of radiation and
chemo, followed by four weeks of rest.

He got up out of his chair, and so did Judy. The

two of them walked toward the receptionists desk.
It was a Friday, and Judy was weary after a solid
week of teaching. The radiologist had beaten her
down. She didnt have enough fight left in her to
resist his bullying.
But providentially, the phone rang. The radiologist told Judy, You walk out to the receptionists
desk. I have to answer this call. She walked out to
the desk, but no one was behind it. So she kept
walking all the way to her car, then drove away.
She never did submit to radiation.

Some doctors threaten,

some offer support
The radiologist was furious to discover that
Judy had walked out on him. So he made good
on his threat to contact all of her doctors to tell
them she was a foolish, disobedient, and
uncooperative patient.
When Judys surgeon received the radiologists
bad report, he mailed her a certified letter requiring her signature. The letter solemnly warned her
that without radiation and chemo, you have an
unacceptably high chance for recurrent breast
cancer. The surgeon said further, you will almost
certainly require a mastectomy.

A friend tells him about Dr. Renee

During those four weeks, a friend asked him
what he was doing about his brain cancer. The
friend told him, Youve gotta talk to this lady
near Madison.

Instead of trusting her radiologist and surgeon,

Judy took responsibility for her health. Thank
God, not all conventional doctors are as closedminded as her radiologist and surgeon. Her family
doctor and chemotherapy doctor supported her
courageous decision to refuse conventional treatment.

Stewart took his friends advice and saw Dr.

Renee. He never went back for his next round of
chemo or radiation. The whole process of natural
healing fascinated him. He told me he feels great.
His last two MRIs were negative. And he has lost
more than 30 pounds an unexpected benefit
of following the program.

Judy says following Dr. Renees program was

tough, but it was easy on her body. She added,
Taking chemo and radiation would have been
easy, but theyre hard on your body.

Regarding Dr. Renees program, Stewarts

radiation oncologist told Stewart, They never
taught us any of this in medical school. But his
chemotherapy doctor took a different view: he
was miffed that Stewart wouldnt undergo the
next round of chemo.

from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, was having a stressful

day at work. Suddenly she had a seizure.
Paramedics revived her and rushed her to the
emergency room. She was diagnosed with
oligo-astrocytoma, a nasty form of brain cancer.

A nurse whod seen too many

patients die from cancer treatments
Eve W., a nurse from central Wisconsin,
noticed a dark vaginal discharge in May, 2004.
It was ovarian cancer with metastasis to the liver.
Her doctors recommended surgery, radiation, and
chemo. They scheduled her for surgery.
But she didnt buy their recommendations.
She refused surgery.
Having seen too many cancer patients die
from surgery, radiation, and chemo, Eve had
always said that if she ever got cancer, shed try
an alternative treatment. That time had come.
Eve heard about an alternative clinic in
Windsor, Wisconsin, and decided to go there.
Dr. Renee saw Eve the same day she called
because she knew cancer patients need hope
and assurance.
Dr. Renee told Eve and her husband that she
was seriously ill. Because Eve had been going
about her normal activities, she hadnt fully realized how sick she was. She received instructions
about lifestyle changes and went home to follow
the program.
When she returned for a follow-up visit 10
days later, it was obvious her health was improving. And her health was even better 21 days later
at her next follow-up visit.
After three months on the program, Dr. Renee
assured her she was completely healthy. But Eve
wanted even more proof the cancer was gone, so
she went back to her doctors for conventional
testing. When the test came back, it proved she
was indeed free of cancer.
Upon reviewing her amazing recovery, one of
Eves doctors remarked, I dont know how to
treat you with diet. We werent taught that in
medical school.

On September 2, 2002, she underwent surgery. The surgeon thought he got it all, but cancer
cells too small for the surgeon to see are often
left behind.
Then in January, 2003, Kris suffered another
seizure. The tumor had grown back, and fluid was
building up in her brain. To relieve the pressure,
doctors put in a shunt to drain the excess fluid.
And they told her chemo would buy her some
time.
Kriss husband wasnt happy about what the
doctors were saying. He began looking for an
alternative. He learned about Dr. Renee, whose
clinic was a 90-minute drive from Oshkosh.
On February 3, 2003, Kris first saw Dr. Renee,
who gave her the good, the bad, and the ugly. Kris
says it was mostly ugly because her cancer was
severe. If she followed the program, shed live.
Shed have to do the work.
As for the shunt in her brain, Dr. Renee told
her, Kris, youve got to get that out now. Thats
a foreign object. Kris had doctors remove
the shunt. She also went off all drugs, even
anti-seizure medications. Instead, she went on
nutritional supplements, radically changed her
diet, and did the recommended cleanses.
Everything Dr. Renee told me would happen,
happened. Its a miracle Im alive, says Kris. She
has remained cancer-free ever since her first 90
days on Dr. Renees program, back in 2003.

The struggle for health freedom

never ends
Dr. Renee Welhouse (1949-2007) was the
grande dame of the holistic health movement.
Promoting the cause of health freedom is perhaps
the most fitting way to honor her memory.

Americas most famous alternative doctor
talks about todays cancer treatment options
Julian Whitaker, M.D., is a living legend in the
field of holistic medicine, which he simply calls
good medicine. Hes the founder and director
of the Whitaker Wellness Institute in Newport
Beach, California, which draws patients from all
over America. His newsletter, Health
and Healing, has had more subscribers than any
similar newsletter.

enced in the last hundred years.

[Editors note: In 1992, investigators from the
National Cancer Institute visited Dr. Burzynskis clinic
and examined the medical records of seven terminally ill brain cancer patients. They concluded that
Dr. Burzynskis treatment caused a complete or partial remission in every case. (Reference: Hawkins,
M.G., Friedman, M.A.; Journal of the National
Cancer Institute, 1992; 84: 22, 1701) You can call the
office of Stanislaw Burzynski, M.D., Ph.D., at 713335-5697 for more information.]

Dr. Whitaker was kind enough to let us

interview him about cancer treatment options in
America today and other health issues. And after
the interview, which weve printed below, one of
his employees gave us a tour of his clinic, which
makes extensive use of cutting edge therapies
such as hyperbaric oxygen and external counterpulsation, as well as traditional therapies such as
acupuncture.

There are some things I think can also be

helpful. One of them is a very large dose of
Vitamin C. Dr. Hugh Riordan has been doing that,
I think for 20 years, in Kansas, and he recently
died and his medical practice in part was taken
over by Dr. Jeanne Drisko, and she is associated
with the University of Kansas Medical Center and
has a Hugh Riordan Foundation where they are
actually studying chemotherapeutic use of
Vitamin C. In that therapy, they infuse Vitamin C
and at the same time test blood levels of
Vitamin C to hit a level of Vitamin C deemed to
be appropriate for the treatment of cancer.

Heres what Dr. Whitaker said in our interview:

Frank Cousineau: You have a vast knowledge of cancer and how to treat even the cases
other doctors call hopeless and terminal.
What advice would you give to a cancer victim?

The primary reason we discourage cancer

patients from coming is because it is such a highly
politicized issue. The reason its a highly politicized issue, in my opinion, is that conventional
therapy is no more than a dangerous placebo. So
when you have the death rate from cancer, and
the incidence rate of cancer staying virtually the
same for over a hundred years, that is the definition of a placebo: therapies that just dont work
but are believed to work.

Dr. Whitaker: Well, let me give you my

thoughts on cancer. We dont treat cancer. As a
matter of fact we discourage patients with cancer
from coming here. When patients with cancer do
come here, we treat the patients general health
and add to the nutritional support of his or her
health.

A unique cancer breakthrough

I routinely refer cancer patients to Dr.
Stanislaw Burzynski in Houston. Dr. Burzynski
has a unique discovery on the treatment of
cancer that deals with undisciplined multiplication, which is, in my opinion, the only breakthrough in the treatment of cancer weve experi-

The government targets

alternative cancer doctors
Yet the industry of cancer is so bolstered
financially that they govern all of the other

water, oxygen, hyperbaric oxygen, folic acid,

magnesium, and the whole array of what we know
as nutritional supplements.
These supplements have only been a part of
human civilization for about 60 years; a very new
source of innovation is to be able to find these
active ingredients and actually put them in a
dosable form. So that describes most of what we
do here.
Most of the diseases we treat here are not
nearly as politically charged as is cancer. And that
is high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, a lot
of diabetes, obesity, and the degenerative diseases
other than cancer.
Frank Cousineau: At what point did you
decide that good medicine included all of the
things that you just described, as opposed to what
you were taught in medical school?
Dr. Whitaker: I think the major turning point
was when I spent about six months on the staff of
the Longevity Institute under the direction of
Dr. Nathan Pritikin in 1976. He had an operation
very similar to mine. People would come for a
residential program in which his therapeutic tools
were diet and exercise only. So it was a rigorous
lifestyle intervention program, and I followed
people who were on that program. And I saw
people get well.

regulatory aspects of medicine to ensure that

choice is not available to cancer patients except
surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Anyone
who treats cancer in this country with therapies
other than surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy
has put a very large red target on his back for
suppression. I just dont want to do that and I
dont want to live in Mexico, so we stay away
from cancer for political reasons.
I believe I could be a better oncologist with
natural therapies than the oncologists are now
with chemotherapy. Now thats just my opinion.
I will never test that opinion because I will not put
myself in that kind of jeopardy.
Frank Cousineau: How did you get into what
we generally call alternative medicine?
Dr. Whitaker: Well, I dont really like the term
alternative medicine. If we look at the term
alternative medicine and clearly define it, alternative therapies are therapies that are not taught
in medical school and not used in hospitals. Now
thats an unstable definition because virtually
everything in medicine today was at one time
alternative. Everything: antibiotics, hand washing,
sterile technique, and so on.
However, there are certain elements, for
business reasons, that are constantly excluded as
medical therapies. Im talking about natural
products such as vitamins and minerals, acupuncture, or low-tech, inexpensive products that would
compete for the health care dollar with large
pharmaceuticals that have patented substances
and the high-tech approaches that are used in
hospitals with surgery.
So I dont like the term alternative medicine.
I do like the term good medicine. Thats all I try
to practice: good medicine. I do what I consider
to be best for a patient.
The best way to define our medicine, I think, is
to call it molecular medicine. Thats a term
Linus Pauling coined. Molecular medicine is the
use of substances that are common and essential
to the body in various dosages to facilitate health
and to treat disease. This includes Vitamin C,

Patients who take prescription

drugs arent well
In conventional medicine, you rarely if ever
see anybody get well because theyre always
changing drugs. They always have something that
they require to have a prescription drug treatment for. People who are taking prescription drugs
are by definition not well. That doesnt mean that
everyone not taking a prescription drug is well,
but if youre on a prescription drug, youre not
well. You could be better, but youre not well. But
when you use natural, molecular substances, your
chances of creating wellness are good.
Seeing people get well solidified the direction I
would take in my own medical practice. Hence,

other problems that they experience just on the

we have a residential program. This is not a

hospital. Our patients stay in a hotel, but we treat
them here. We educate them on lifestyle.
Frank Cousineau: Many cancer patients are
also suffering from conditions such as diabetes
and obesity. Could you address those conditions?
Dr. Whitaker: Yes. Now Ive written a book
on diabetes, and Ill give you one when you leave.

So in 30 years, and with probably 25,000

diabetic patients, we have never had a single
diabetic patient either Type I or Type II
come in who has been prescribed nutritional
supplements to compensate for what everyone
knows is a massive loss of water soluble nutrients
because of the nature of the disease not one.
It is one of the biggest flaws I can think of.

Heres how I would summarize our approach

with diabetes Type I: we do everything we can to
reduce the amount of insulin required to keep
someone under good control. And the tools that
reduce the amount of insulin required to keep
someone under good control are the lifestyle. If
a Type I diabetic gets involved in an exercise
regimen, his insulin requirement is going to drop
substantially. If a Type I diabetic gets involved in
a diet that is low-glycemic and high in fiber, his
insulin requirement is going to drop.

Not to supply the diabetic with copious

amounts of water soluble and freely available
and inexpensive nutrients is beyond my
comprehension. Not because I believe they work,
but simply because any measurement of the
nutritional status of the diabetic indicates major
loss. So thats the main thing.

But the area where I think we are most

different from conventional treatment of Type I
and Type II diabetes is that we vociferously advise
and prescribe and put our patients on nutritional
supplements. And the reason this is such an
integrated part of our treatment for diabetes is
because the term diabetes means excessive
urination. And diabetes is actually the Greek
word for passing through.

We tell our Type I diabetics, We will institute

a variety of methods to control your blood sugar.
But so do conventional doctors. However, where
we really differ is that we give you extra amounts
of high potency vitamins to compensate for
the loss.

The blood sugar acts like a powerful diuretic.

So when people have excessive urination, which is
one of the cardinal symptoms of Type I diabetes,
they are losing copious amounts of urine with
sugar in it and with everything else. The sugar in
the blood overwhelms the kidneys capacity to
conserve water-soluble nutrients. So the diabetic
is dangerously low, almost always, in magnesium,
folic acid, Vitamins C, B-12, zinc.

Why Americans weigh too much:

culprit revealed
Frank Cousineau: What about obesity?
Dr. Whitaker: Well, Ive just written a book
on obesity, and in that book and Ill give you
one you can take with you I point out two
things. I think Ive hit on the primary reason why
we have a pandemic of obesity. What do you
think it is?

All the water-soluble nutrients are washed

out because they have a nutritional wasting
phenomenon going on.

Frank Cousineau: Diet.

Dr. Whitaker: What about the diet? Whats so
different now than it was in the 50s and 60s?

I believe that this nutritional wasting is a

primary reason, if not the major reason, for
diabetic complications. If you were to put

Dr. Whitaker: Corn. And what is corn primarily? Starch. So were mammals. We have the same
proclivities and the same chemistries, and the
same metabolism of handling starch that all other
mammals have that eat starch. We get fat.

choose to eat; its a fast-food nation; its the lack of

nutritional quality in the foods that are grown; lack
of exercise; and people dont take the time to sit
down and eat a good, well-balanced meal.
Dr. Whitaker: Okay. I disagree. Because
everyone says either what you said or else portion
size or lack of exercise. Right? We are all trying
to find why people who are obese in this country
have exploded by about 50 percent. I have those
statistics in the book. Its an explosion, and it has
only occurred in this country.

Dr. Whitakers weight-loss secret:

How he lost 30 pounds
Ive lost about 30 pounds. I hadnt been eating
at McDonalds. I wasnt on the fast-food thing, but
I was eating a whole bunch of bread and some
dessert, and now Im 30 pounds lighter because
I just eliminate bread and eliminate dessert. And
now Im exercising more, so theres a lot to it.

It did not occur in France; it did not occur in

England; it did not occur in Italy. It has never been
a problem in Asia. Why? Why is the United States
so different? Other countries have fast food.
England has fish-and-chips restaurants.

When you talk to someone whos lost 70

pounds, invariably 80 percent of them will say
they cut off carbohydrates. The evidence keeps
slapping us in the face all the time, and we ignore
it, and we say Atkins was an idiot. And yet the
people who really do seriously lose weight control
their starch intake.

Heres the difference: In the 1970s there was a

substantial shift in the country toward carbohydrates. The Senate Select Committee on Nutrition,
headed by Senator George McGovern, came out
with guidelines that said lets make starch a major
caloric contributor. And the food industry jumped
on the bandwagon and decided to vilify all fat as
the reason for heart disease, obesity, and so on.

I dont go so far as to eliminate all starches.

I say eat fruit. Ive never known anybody who
was obese from excessive fruit consumption; you
probably could do it. Apples help you to lose
weight because theyre high in fiber. So eat fruit
and vegetables, but just stay off starch, and
people will lose weight. So thats one thing.

Yes, the food industry took this message to

heart. And when you talk about the food industry,
you dont talk about them advocating the fruits
and vegetables. You talk about them coming out
with non-fat Twinkies, non-fat desserts, non-fat
milk, non-fat yogurts, and these types of things.

How to guarantee youll have

the discipline to lose weight

So the food industry began stripping fat and

adding the calories in carbohydrate. And the
nation followed, and I have those statistics in the
book where the carbohydrate increase only went
up about two to three percent. And the fat intake
actually reduced. And if that initial belief was
accurate, we should have had a reduction in
weight, regardless of calorie intake. But we turned
the nation into a feedlot. And by altering the food
and increasing starch intake, human beings
exploded. How do you fatten cattle?

Another important factor is discipline, because

few can stay on a program. They will resolve to
lose weight, but they will rarely resolve to change
with any kind of discipline the behaviors they
need to lose weight. They say, well, Im not going
to eat this; Im not going to eat that, and there
will always be exceptions because theres no
consequences to breaking the New Years
resolution.
In my book, I point out how you make a
contract with yourself with a negative consequence if you dont follow through on your
contract. And the contract has some specifics.

Frank Cousineau: Put em in a pen and give

em corn.

54

Dr. Whitakers ingenious

punishment if he cheats

or a year-and-a-half later, some of these patients

would die of a heart attack or stroke. I stressed
this to some of the alternative clinics. I said, You
have to broaden your horizons. When you get the
cancer under control, you have to follow through
with what you say youre doing, and thats taking
care of the whole patient.

Third, there needs to be a significant punishment for not following through. I recommend a
financial punishment. Let me tell you what my
punishment is. I despise the ACLU. I think they
degrade society, so I would never give them any
money. So in my contract I agree not to eat
breads or sugar desserts for three months. If I so
much as eat any breads or sugar desserts in three
months, I will send a thousand dollars to the
ACLU.

Dr. Whitaker: Many of the people who are

treating cancer using non-conventional therapies
are strongly into dietary changes that I would
agree with. So I think if someone is getting benefit
from an alternative therapy in cancer, it is also
most likely lowering risk of other diseases as well.
Because a natural approach to reduce cancer is
not inherently dangerous as far as heart disease,
diabetes, and anything else is concerned.

Frank Cousineau: That would be a tremendous motivation.

Contact information:

First, it needs to be a behavior, not a result.

Second, it needs to be time-limited so that you
dont make it for the rest of your life. You can

Dr. Whitaker: It is a tremendous motivation.

Then I sign it, I witness it, and I put it up on the
bulletin board somewhere. We have it downstairs
for people to do this. Its amazing how much
discipline that can cause to bubble up, to where
now it isnt a problem. You just dont do it.
And one of the reasons its like if you had an
invisible guy behind you with a baseball bat and
you want to stop smoking, and you instructed
him to hit you in the back of the head very hard
with a baseball bat the minute you took a single
puff of a cigarette I dont care how much you
wanted the cigarette, you are not going to take a
puff as long as you know hes back there.

Frank Cousineau: Getting back to cancer,

Ive seen a lot of cancer patients get rid of their
cancer at alternative clinics. The cancer would be
gone three weeks, three months the cancer
was under control. And then six months to a year

END NOTE
How to choose the right clinic for you
or your loved one
Id be glad to help you learn about the clinics
in more depth. If youd like my help, please contact me at the phone number, e-mail address or
FAX number below. Id be glad to hear from you.
And since you purchased this Special Report, well
give you a $ 25.00 discount of my services (regularly $ 150.00 per hour). To get the discount, just
mention that you bought the Special Report.

Each case of cancer is different. Each

doctor is different. And each clinic is different.
One size doesnt fit all.
You could check out Websites and send
e-mails to the various hospitals, clinics, and
doctors weve listed in this Special Report.
You could phone the clinics to gather more
information. But many people dont have the
time or the patience to call several clinics or to
wait for e-mail responses.

You can reach me through my wife, Chayo,

who schedules my consultations. Chayo is super
friendly. She really likes people, and I know youll
enjoy talking with her. Here is our contact information:

Because I know the doctors, the clinics,

the hospitals, and the various treatment options,
some people have sought my advice as a cancer coach. Im now helping many people this
way on a professional basis. Id be glad to help
you, too, find the right clinic.

Phone:

209-529-4697

FAX:

209-572-3922

e-mail:

Any treatment decisions you make, of

course, are entirely your responsibility. Im not
a doctor. But I do have a great deal of information and Id be happy to share it with you.

[email protected]

Please dont hesitate to leave a voicemail message if Chayo is away from her desk or on the
phone. If you prefer you can contact me directly
by e-mail: [email protected]. n
