HEALTH NOTES AND REFERENCES
| These health notes are intended not to replace but to supplement the services of qualified physicians. They are meant to help you select health care providers who can and will provide the type of service you desire, and in many instances, to prevent such need from arising.
Unfortunately, the new patient seldom knows where to seek for the type of help that is needed.
We usually get what the "establishment"
recommends at the time, and this may not be the best available.
I've seen this several times in my own experience, so in these paragraphs I hope to give you the benefit of what I've learned the hard way.
The best health care provider for your circumstance may not be a medical doctor, or s/he may be a medical doctor with a pioneering spirit. Unfortunately, medical doctors with a pioneering spirit often get hounded out of the profession, lose their licenses, or even imprisoned. I've known several of these. You may have to go to a foreign country for what you need. My purpose in writing all this is to offer you the benefit of my hard-won experience. I am not a professional in this field, and what I offer may not help you at all. On the other hand, it may save you lots of grief. WHAT PRICE FREEDOM? A brief look at some underlying forces. To give some background and why this subject is so important to me, I have always had health problems of one sort or another. The most serious was a severe case of hepatitis in 1971, followed by cancer in 1972. I had surgery and an initial round of chemotherapy for the cancer, but refused the rest of the planned chemotherapy, in favor of natural alternatives. If you will look into some of the references that follow, you will understand why I did this, and why I think that when I die it will not be from cancer. You can read about my experience with cancer in the following link. My greatest sadness in life is that people go right on like sheep, never asking questions, never examining the likely consequences of their lifestyles, never making health decisions for themselves. IN MEMORY OF DR. HANS NIEPER Dr. Hans Nieper was one of the World's greatest doctors, and a pioneer in the treatment I personally used for cancer. YOU'D BETTER PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS! Do you remember the much-publicized court case of Texas Cattlemen vs Howard Lyman and Oprah Winfrey? Life is getting more dangerous every year, but we have the means (if not the will) to reverse the trend. There is a clear connection between animal welfare and human welfare. Years later, the U.S. Government is still not doing its job to stop feeding cattle back to cattle and to require testing for "Mad Cow." NEW LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE USA Excerpted from Fall, 2003 issue of Health Freedom News (Journal of the National Health Federation): "Iatrogenic (doctor caused) disease is now the leading cause of death and injury in the USA." Carolyn Dean MD, a physician and author who participated in the survey said: "I was completely shocked, amazed and dismayed when I first added up all the statistics on medical death and saw how much allopathic medicine has betrayed us." "...the projected death toll from medical errors is 783,936 per year, thus displacing heart disease (669,697) as the nation's top killer. Cancer is now in third place with 553,251 deaths annually, based on 2001 figures,..." WHAT ABOUT DIET AND SUPPLEMENTS? I acknowledge the factors of heredity, lifestyle, prayer, pollution, etc., but since most people are focused in and trapped by their appetites and other desires, nutrition is probably the most powerful determinant of our health. In this link I describe what I have experienced with food supplements and routine diet. You can read my thoughts on prayer in a link from my "Spiritual Path" page. The pursuit of health is not easy.
Commercial interests, enlisting the aid of Government agencies, press on without regard to the general health of the people.
In this page, I don't feel free to express my convictions full strength, but the references that follow will paint a picture from which much benefit can be derived.
I strongly recommend that you look into and support these organizations, and study the books. REFERENCES AND LINKS ORGANIZATIONS — THE NATIONAL HEALTH FEDERATION Do you claim the right to make your own decisions about food, supplements, treatment for illness, etc. without some special interest group manipulating the available information and telling the Government how to govern? See their site and Check out the article entitled "I own the FDA." PHYSICIAN'S COMMITTEE THE PHYSICIANS' COMMITTEE FOR RESPONSIBLE MEDICINE — 5100 Wisconsin Avenue, NW, Suite 404, Washington, DC 20016. Phone numbers: (202) 686-2210 and fax (202) 686-2216.

Phones: (206) 524-9903 and (800) 362-3648. Founded by John Robbins (former heir to a famous ice cream empire), Earthsave "is an organization with excellent and greatly needed programs that actively help people of all ages to reclaim their medical independence, and to save our imperiled planet." Two books by Robbins: Diet For a New America, and Reclaiming Our Health. I have no reservations in giving EARTHSAVE my highest recommendation. THE JOHN R. LEE, M.D. MEDICAL LETTER From his website: "John R. Lee, M.D. is an international authority and pioneer in the use of natural progesterone cream and natural hormone balance. He is a sought-after speaker, as well as a best-selling author and the editor-in-chief of a widely read newsletter. His website offers a wide range of information about natural hormones and hormone balance for women and men, resources for finding out more, as well as a variety of books, audio and video tapes and other useful products." From our personal experience, we know that bone density lost by osteoporosis can be improved through the method described by Dr. Lee. In the first year of use, my wife registered an increase in bone density of one standard (statistical) deviation. That was in Georgia before we moved to Arizona in 1999. Tested again in 2006, she has registered further increase in bone density. Here in Arizona, her new doctor said she had never heard of the use of progesterone! I think most medical doctors are still prescribing Premarin. Not only is Premarin produced by cruel treatment of horses (pregnant mares' urine), it's the wrong hormone, and it's dangerous. If you doubt the danger of using Premarin, read the list of contraindications, warnings and precautions printed in the Physicians' Desk Reference. ALTERNATIVES — For The Health Conscious Individual. A newsletter full of vital information, compiled by Dr. David G. Williams. Circulation Office: Mountain Home Publishing, 1201 Seven Locks Road, Rockville, MD 20854. Editorial Office: P.O.

If you don't find this book in your bookstore, you can get it quickly from: http://www.barnesandnoble.com NUTRITION: THE CANCER ANSWER — by Maureen Salaman. This book tells the entire story of laetrile, including the faulty government study done many years ago. Incidentally, laetrile is what I used in my own cancer treatment 35 years ago. Again, this is available from http://www.barnesandnoble.com. WORLD WITHOUT CANCER — This is a one-hour video describing in detail the theory and practice of using laetrile in the control of cancer. It is available from http://www.realityzone.com. I have personal experience with the efficacy of this, which you can read in "My Cancer Experience," cited above.
