Dedication

This book is dedicated to all the people who are not as healthy as they want to be and who have had limited or no success in finding a way to feel better. To all the people, with numerous varied diseases, conditions, and syndromes who the traditional medical system has failed to serve. To the thousands who have fallen through the cracks of our broken disease-care system, a system addicted to diagnosing and naming every condition, a system whose professionals neither have the faintest idea what caused the disease nor a way to cure it. All they can do (sometimes) is help suppress symptoms while the condition remains the same or, in most cases, continues to progress.

Medical doctors are taught almost nothing about nutritional connections to disease. Often, what little they have been taught is actually not correct. They were taught ZERO about the relationship of numerous toxic or poisonous chemicals and metals to our growing number of immune, auto-immune, neurological, and emotional conditions. They most certainly were not taught how to slowly and safely reduce the toxic load in the organs and cells throughout your body. Sadly, few if any of the other holistic professionals were taught how to accomplish this either. This book is for all of you and those few of your healthcare providers who wish to continue to learn and be better able to help more of their patients get well.

A note to my readers : Many people buy a book only to learn the important facts that it contains and NOT to learn all about the author and his or her life, history or education. I have chosen to write a rather long description of my life and how I got into this field as well as providing a forward written by my best friend who has known me throughout most of my life. Some of the people who have given me pre-publication comments have liked this and some have told me that I should make it much shorter or cut out most of this historical personal information entirely. Since I feel it is important to tell my story, I have left it in place for you to read. If you are not interested in all this information about me, please skip to wherever you wish to start reading. You could start at the Advance Praise or the Preface or even skip it all and start at the beginning of Chapter 1. I feel that my personal history is rather interesting, that some will enjoy learning these things about me, and so I have left it in this book.

Every page also includes invisible wishes for your improved health and a long disease- free and happy life.

FDA Statement preface and disclaimer

Although the United States is considered a free country, I am required to truthfully state that the information in this book is for informational purposes only (what else would a book be for?) and is not meant to diagnose or treat any medical condition. If you suffer from or believe that you have a medical condition, you should seek the help of a properly licensed, qualified and knowledgeable physician, although you may find the most knowledgeable ones very difficult to locate.

This book contains knowledge that I have gained over my lifetime and through my clinical experience in my practice and it may often disagree with mainstream medical beliefs. Do not argue with your physician. Instead, work to locate one who you can trust and who you feel has the knowledge required to help you improve your health.

In our country we have no choice about having tap water with added chlorine and chloramines, proven cancer and neurological disease causing chemical agents that help keep it free of bacteria and other pathogens. But they also add fluoride to treat the people (not the water) without our permission even when the science proves it is harmful and not helpful. Our children (and possibly soon our adults) are forced to receive toxic vaccinations without our consent and there is very good but withheld science proving they do more harm than good. We are still referred to as a free country.

It will take millions of people insisting on being given back our rights. Politicians who, if they work more for big business instead of the people they were elected to serve must be replaced in the next election. Then maybe we can really once again be a free country. I teach my classes, lecture at scientific medical, dental and nutrition conferences, write articles and now this book, to help further your knowledge to better enable you to improve your health.

In 1993, on a flight to New York City, I, once again, found myself thinking about the broken medical system. The day before, I had received a phone call that my mother was in Doctors Hospital in Manhattan with advanced stage 4 metastatic cancer. I thought I could help my mother, I just didnt know if she would accept it.

But I get ahead of myself. Twelve years before, Mom had found a lump in her breast which was diagnosed as breast cancer. In her search for treatment, she could not find a surgeon who was willing to do a simple lumpectomyevery single one had insisted on removing her breast even though, way back then, it had been proven that a mastectomy did not have any better life expectancy than a lumpectomy. Many oncologists continue performing mastectomies on single isolated breast tumors. How sad and how ignorant.

My mother finally located an expert in the field, Dr. Susan Love, and flew to Boston to receive a lumpectomy and some radiation afterwards. Dr. Love has since written many books and is a top researcher in the field of breast cancer, although she is not into the holistic methods that I subscribe to.

I always tell my students and patients that people get cancer for one main reason which, in turn, has numerous underlying causes. The main reason is that their immune system is not working as well as it should and could be working. In addition, there are three medical procedures which are very harmful to the immune system and these are chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. With this in mind, any person who undergoes one or more of these therapies for cancer has further harmed their already insufficient immune system. The result, proven by numerous studies and tens of thousands of clinical cases, is that the patient will almost always get cancer again after it has been surgically removed and medically treated, if they live long enough. Please note that I AM NOT recommending to anyone that they avoid surgery. In addition, should you decide, after surgery, that you do not wish to continue with either chemotherapy or radiation, you must do so based on your own thorough investigations. DO NOT make that decision based on what I have written in this book or said in any of my lectures or videos.
