Pat, are you Ms. or Mr. Pat? Re the mentioned MDs that pioneered and/or still are, the alternatives to conventional cut, poison and burn insanity now so prevalent: Dr. Henry G. Bieler actually (fortunately) wrote a book before leaving this plane: "Food is Your Best Medicine" You'll be able to find either the hard or paper covered versions. A good transitional book. Dr. Max Gerson, was world famed for being the first man to conquer the previously always fatal "disease," lupus vulgaris. He did it with diet alone in Germany during the 30's...and he seems to be the fitting claimant for being cited as the discoverer of how to make carrots into juice...before juicers. Dr. Albert Sweitzer considered him the greatest clinician alive, at the time, attributing his wife's life to Gerson's skill. He was driven to an early death by the ruthless scoundrels running the NY Medical society. He dared to speak publicly about his innovative therapy with Cancer, not too long after escaping the Nazis and emigrating to the U.S. He got some spectacular remissions, especially among patients given up as hopeless by the best at the prestigious Sloan-Kettering facility in Manhattan. His last book, "A Cancer Therapy, 50 Cases," is a classic. He was also the subject of an investigative journalist's attempt to expose him as the quack alleged by the conventional medics. That expose book was converted by the writer, an S. J. Haught, I believe, into a paperback basically attesting Gerson was a modern era medical hero: "Cancer Cure? Gerson's daughter, Charlotte, still runs the Gerson Institute, I believe. It's in Chula Vista or Bonita Springs, California. They should have copies of both books if you can't find them elsewhere. Their operational clinic, of course, is out of the country...in a coastal town called Las Playas, just west of Tiuana, B.C. Dr. Hoxey was another giant...who, after deposing his principal harasser at the AMA Headquarters in Chicago, had his chief nurse move the only remaining clinic to Tijuana, Mexico. She is a character beyond belief. A lady who originally got involved trying to "expose" Hoxey as an evil quack, too. They can be reached by calling long distance to Tijuana, or by contacting the Cancer Control Society's Lorraine Rosenthal in Los Angeles. They've even got a video about Hoxey and the treatment, plus lots of printed information. In more current times, Stanislau Burzynski, MD and PhD, is under attack (still, over five years running) at his Houston, Texas clinical facilities. Amazingly enough, a surprisingly large number of TV network shows have recently done specials on his story. I know the man personally, and he is truly a high calibre hero...a decided exception to his bretheren in the allopathic trades. First of all, he's a scientist (micro-biologist, I believe), not just a "healing artisan." His therapy, using his own non-toxic chemo materials, is far less expensive than are conventional treatments, and, unlike them, where a few patients may actually go into remission for a period in spite of the treatments, Burzynski's therapy is quite different...and clearly far too successful for him to go without being noticed. You can write his Clinic in Houston for information, or use something like Lexis-Nexus to latch onto the abundant material on his work. Hope I didn't leave any of the physicians out in which you were interested. What's important, of course, is to know that many real solutions for these exotic killer diseases such as Cancer are not lurking somewhere in our future, but are actually alive and well, being used in places outside the forbidden confines of our once more free nation. I don't have time to go into this further, but by contacting Lorraine in Los Angeles, you can surely get your hands on a great deal more info than I've shared in this message. Good luck, Ric
