Needless Surgery

Needless Surgery

 

The human body is a hermetically sealed unit that was never meant to be

pierced or cut open. It is capable of maintaining, healing, and even

regenerating itself (given the proper fuel, of course.) On rare occasions

surgery may be necessary, but most routine operations today can and should

be avoided.

 

The history of surgery reaches far back into the dimly lit caves of

antiquity. Many primitive cultures performed a surgical procedure known as

" trepining " . During this operation the skull was drilled into to release

evil spirits (and, most likely, also the pressure causing intense headache).

We find, in the archaeological record, many instances of freshly drilled

trepining holes which may have been the cause of death in the patient. Other

skull specimens display two or even three holes in which the bone is not as

sharp as the freshly drilled holes, indicating that the patient survived and

the old wounds healed over. The procedure was usually performed with

sharpened stone knives or drills.

 

The operations were executed by the high priest, shaman, medicine man or

witch doctor who had more power than the chief of the tribe because he had a

" direct hotline " to God or the gods. It appears that the doctors and

surgeons share that same position today. They are the ones who have the

power of life and death, and, as many people are not in touch with the

workings of their own bodies, they give themselves over to the doctors and

surgeons. It is because of the people's faith in them that the doctors and

surgeons have a great responsibility to their patients to heal and care for

them. There is no place for ignorance, even though degrees may be passed on

to the medical student from his school. Outmoded forms of treatment,

including unnecessary surgery, must be questioned, if not by the doctors

then by the patients themselves. We are exposed to a lot of literature and

information that can enable us to make our own decisions. There are many

books in the public libraries which explain

surgery in easy terms and even discuss whether surgery is always the

answer. Many are written by M.D.'s and even wise surgeons who see a lot of

mistakes in their own field.

 

We know that, in some cases, surgery is necessary to save a life. It is not

our position to condemn the surgical profession. We are only suggesting that

you be sure that there is no other alternative. There are extreme cases of

people who have checked themselves into the hospitals as many as 20 times to

" go under the knife. " There are others who seem to enjoy a hospital stay as

a rest from duties. There are others who are simply ignorant sheep going to

the slaughter. Education is the key.

 

Dr. S. Mendelsohn, M.D., calls himself a medical heretic. He is the chairman

of the Medical Licensing Committee for the State of Illinois and Associate

Professor of Preventive Medicine and Community Health in the School of

Medicine of the University of Illinois. In his book, Confessions of a

Medical Heretic (Chicago: Warner Books, 1979) Mendelsohn illustrates the

dangers and frequency of unnecessary operations. He calls the operations

" ritual mutilations. " There are actually over three million unnecessary

operations performed each year according to the independent Health Research

Groups. A congressional subcommittee says that the conservative figure is

2.4 million, costing four billion dollars and 72,000 lives. This is 5% of

the quarter million deaths following or during surgery each year. Dr.

Mendelsohn himself feels that " somewhere around ninety percent of surgery is

a waste of time, energy, money, and life. " We agree.

 

Let's go through some of the categories of useless operations and talk about

how we might prevent them.

 

 

Tonsillectomy

 

One of the most popular operations for children is the tonsillectomy. It has

been performed for over 2,000 years, and according to Dr. Mendelsohn, it's

worth has never been proven although about one million are done each year.

Mendelsohn was called on the carpet by his chairman at one time for

decreasing the number of unnecessary tonsillectomies among the children in

his pediatric ward. The surgical teaching program for the interns had been

disturbed. Imagine, using children to " practice " surgery!

 

The tonsils are the tail end of the lymphatic system. They swell up with pus

and infection when the body is overloaded with toxic material. When the

system is overloaded with waste that an inactive lymphatic system cannot

eliminate, the tonsils become enlarged and sore. They are a safety valve of

the body - a warning system, if you wish. They should never be removed from

the body. The lymphatic system can be cleared through exercise. The lymph

system has no pump such as the bloodstream has the heart. Exercise can

activate the lymph system to carry waste products from the cells. The

Glandular Formula can be taken internally as a tea or capsules and

externally as a fomentation around the neck covering the affected glands. Of

course the tonsils will diminish in size and infectious content with

adherence to the correct principles of nutrition contained in the mucusless

diet.

 

I was born with a set of tonsils which, when infected, swelled almost up to

the size of golf balls. My parents, following the advice of the standard

medical opinion makers of the day ushered me off to the local hospital in

Salt Lake City and paid to have my tonsils removed. As most of you know, the

Good Lord left the plans and specifications for the regeneration of the

human body. So, my tonsils, being faithful creations grew in again. I was

very sickly as a child and tonsillitis set in regularly. My folks again took

me in for procedural surgery. After the third set of tonsils grew in my

parents (rather than becoming tonsil-poor) decided to let me live with the

usual winter infections in the throat. To this day I have been remembered as

one of the only kids on my block who grew in three sets of tonsils.

 

The surgeon looks upon the tonsils as the seat of bacterial infection and

states that he can stop bacterial infiltration into the rest of the body by

removing the tonsils. Actually, this procedure does nothing but make it

possible for infection to settle in other lymph nodes. Clean up the whole

system and you can avoid cutting out the affected part.

 

 

Appendectomy

 

In a publication called A Syllabus for the Surgeon's Secretary by Jeannette

A. Szulec and Z. Szulec, M.D., the appendix is described as, " a worm-like

projection of the cecum. It is a blind sac subject to inflammation, abscess,

gangrene, perforation, and tumors. " Although this statement is true, note

the orientation of the authors. We see the appendix as a wonderful creation

that disinfects and lubricates the bowel. Once removed, these two functions

can no longer be performed within the bowel naturally. Our suggestion is to

clean the bowel and keep it open and clean, thus preventing the need for an

appendicitis attack and the resulting appendectomy. Science has come up with

the foolhardy notion that the appendix is some sort of vestigial organ like

the small toe which is quickly fading out of the general picture of the

human body. Certainly people can and do survive after the appendix has been

removed, but not as a totally intact unit as they once were. Mendelsohn

wryly suggests that

some doctors think of the appendix as some of God's leftover physiological

junk.

 

The symptoms of appendicitis are an inflamed, painful condition of the

appendix and the surrounding portion of the bowels. Other symptoms are

nausea, pain and distress around the navel, constipation, quick pulse, and

perhaps a rise in temperature to 100° or 102° F. There may be tenderness to

the right of the navel and below, which is increased by pressure or

movement. The patient frequently flexes the right knee to ease the pain.

 

It may be caused by a faulty digestion, intestinal catarrh, fecal

concretions and, in comparatively rare cases, by foreign particles being

lodged in the appendix. This is the explanation given by Otto Mausert, N.D.,

Herbs (Elaine M. Muhr, 375 Carolyn Drive, Eugene, Oregon 97402). Dr. Kloss

states:

 

Constipation is one of the causes of appendicitis to an extent, and of

course, wrong diet, which diet would include the use of devitamized foods

such as white flour products, cane sugar, and cane sugar products (all

refined sugars), greasy and fried foods, tea, coffee, chocolate, and wrong

combinations of foods. These must be strictly avoided in appendicitis, as

must alcoholic drinks, tobacco, and all stimulating food and drink.

 

Dr. Kloss recommends:

 

Cleanse the colon thoroughly with an enema, preferably herb, take as much

water as possible, as hot as possible. The treatment is of great value and

will often relieve the pain immediately. If using an herb enema, use either

spearmint, catnip, white oak bark, bayberry or wild alum root. When herbs

are not available, use plain water. If the pain continues after the colon

has been cleansed, then use a very warm enema of catnip alone. Then apply

hot and cold fomentations to the region of the appendix and the full length

of the spine. This will aid in the cleansing process and relieve pain. At

night prepare a poultice as follows: Combine a tablespoon of granulated or

powdered lobelia with a large handful of granulated or crushed mullein

leaves, and sprinkle with ginger. Mix the herbs into a paste by adding

powdered slippery elm or corn meal. Apply the poultice as warm as the

patient can stand, leave on cool, then repeat. When suffering an attack of

appendicitis, go on a liquid diet,

drinking alkaline broths, fruit juices, and drink several glasses of

slippery elm (or comfrey) every day.

 

After an individual is over an attack (which is the effect), go immediately

onto the mucusless diet as suggested by Dr. Christopher in the Three Day

Cleansing Program and Mucusless Diet.

 

Appendectomies are the third most popular operation in this country today.

(The first are tonsillectomies and D & C's). Surveys indicate that in some

hospitals the removal rate for normal appendices is as high as 80%.

Diagnosis of inflamed appendix is very difficult because the appendix is

located in many different positions within the abdomens of different people.

A lot of abdominal pain is often diagnosed wrongly as appendicitis. Some

states automatically remove the appendix (by law) whenever exploratory

surgery is done. Far more appendix surgery is performed upon women than men.

During 1975, 784,000 appendectomies were done and 3000 patients out of that

figure died. Although most of those operations were done to prevent the

appendix from rupturing, one in four appendices taken out were perfectly

healthy. Patients who have the appendix removed are twice as likely to get

cancer of the bowel later, according to one researcher. Mendelsohn compares

preventive appendectomy to chopping

down the prettiest elm tree in the yard before it gets Dutch Elm disease,

IF it does. Just in case it does. This principle is often seen when doctors

remove a woman's appendix while doing some unrelated surgery such as the

hysterectomy.

 

 

Circumcision

 

One of the earliest surgeries performed in history was the circumcision. It

is done on males (in our society usually on babies a few hours or days old

when blood loss can be dangerous) and consists of removal of the foreskin of

the penis. In the Jewish rite, the operation is done on the eighth day of

life and according to strict laws. The baby is given some ritual wine as an

anesthetic. When modern surgeons do the operation, no anesthetic is

administered. Perhaps they imagine that the baby cannot feel anything at

that age, or that they won't remember the agony because it was done so long

ago. Well, when you hear that baby scream bloody murder you know he feels

it. Mendelsohn feels that there is no need for circumcision outside of a

religious framework. Modern hospitals perform their ritual circumcisions in

the name of cleanliness and hygiene. What can be dirty about a newborn baby?

The parents of an infant boy can keep the child's penis clean by pushing the

foreskin back and

eventually the skin will stretch back far enough to expose the head. A

small boy can be taught to cleanse himself while in the bath.

 

In some primitive tribes, circumcision is not done until the man reaches an

age where he will be a warrior. Often this means that he will not be

included in the traditional role as a reproductive being, but will spend his

days going to war for the tribe. He often does not marry. This is clearly a

case of ritual mutilation.

 

I have seen parents opt for the circumcision operation for their child just

because THEY think that the child will feel weird in gym class because his

penis will not be regulation like his classmates. Or choosing circumcision

because the nurse or the doctor has told them that it's better for

cleanliness. The only way to avoid these bizarre opinions is to educate

yourself so that you can make your own intelligent decisions rather than

idiotic incisions.

 

 

Gall Bladder Surgery

 

Dr. Sigfried J. Kra and Dr. Robert S. Boltax refer to the gall bladder as

" the gold bladder " in their recent book, Is Surgery Necessary? because over

one billion dollars a year is spent on gall bladder surgery.

 

The gall bladder stores bile produced by the liver. This bile, consisting of

concentrated, recycled body toxins is a digestive aid for fats and a natural

laxative. When the bile becomes too concentrated, gall stones may form and

obstruct the bile flow. The flow may also be blocked by catarrhal slime.

This phenomenon is prevalent among people who eat meals high in cholesterol.

The symptoms of gall bladder disease are annoying and painful. There is gas,

bloating, indigestion, pain under the rib cage on the right side, and

perhaps even nausea and vomiting. Fried, greasy foods seem to aggravate the

condition. Doctors cannot guarantee that a gall bladder removal will

eliminate the gas and bloating present in gall bladder disease. When the

gall bladder is removed, the bile has no storage reservoir, but drips

directly into the duodenum, the opening into the small intestine which

follows the stomach. This may lead to an irritated if not ulcerated

condition.

 

Excesses in eating and drinking should be avoided. If gallstones are present

and the ducts are blocked, bile may be forced back into the liver and enter

into the bloodstream. The skin may take on a jaundiced color. Ultimately,

the bile is excreted through the urinary tract. The urine is often dark red

or amber color and is very concentrated. Clay color stools are another

symptom. During a time of a gall bladder inflammation, heavy eating should

not be done. Fruit and vegetable juices are recommended along with the Liver

& Gall Bladder Formula. The bowels should be kept open and unconstipated

through the use of the lower bowel formula. The herbs that compose the

liver-gallbladder formula are: barberry, wild yam, cramp bark, fennel seed,

ginger, catnip and peppermint. Olive oil (2 tablespoons, 3 times a day)

should be taken to lubricate the bile ducts. Our hydrangea root formula,

made with 1 quart of apple juice and one ounce of hydrangea root soaked

together for three days in a cool

place and taken in two ounce doses during the three day cleanse, is capable

of dissolving stones anywhere in the body. Light, more frequent meals are

preferred over large heavy ones.

 

The Book, Syllabus for the Surgeon's Secretary, states that, " the bile duct

and the hepatic ducts are essential to life; the gallbladder is not since it

only serves the purpose of storage for bile. " As we stated before, surgery

is sometimes necessary, but it is a means to an end, not an end in itself.

We should not define our body organs as necessary and unnecessary as if the

Creator intended them to be thrown away on the non-functional spare parts

pile.

 

 

Hemorrhoidectomy

 

Ever since the time of Hippocrates (5th Century, B.C.) hemorrhoids have been

a painful problem to mankind. Hippocrates suggests cauterizing them with a

hot iron. Today's methods are just as primitive. The hemorrhoids are cut

out. Hemorrhoids result from straining while having a bowel movement. The

blood vessels in the rectal and anal area become engorged, often with toxic

blood. There is often little circulation to the area. With today's

calcium-leaching foods and habits, the blood vessels have not the strength

to hold up under the strain. The hemorrhoidectomy is extremely painful once

the anesthesia wears off. The hemorrhoids often occur again and another

operation is performed. After the third operation there is usually so much

scar tissue present that there is hardly a place left to cut into.

 

In the case of hemorrhoids we suggest the following: Number ONE: eliminate

constipation. Use the Lower Bowel formula along with the mucusless diet and

drink plenty of water. Cayenne pepper may also be taken internally to

increase the calcium content of the body and build up the blood vessels. As

a local treatment, an oak bark suppository (made with powdered oak bark and

pure vegetable glycerine) may be inserted into the rectum preceded by a

button of peeled garlic. Olive oil may be used to lubricate the area. The

oak bark, besides feeding the blood vessels in the area with calcium, acts

as an astringent to tighten up loose tissues. If possible, the hemorrhoids

should be kept up into the rectum and very little gravitational pressure

should be exerted on the area. We have found that over the years a sitz bath

(the hips and buttocks in hot water) brings relief and circulation to the

area. We have had patients that have had to wear harnesses to keep the

hemorrhoids up into place. With a

few weeks on the program they were able to be free of these bothersome

hemorrhoids without surgery.

 

Pregnant women are also prone to hemorrhoids if they do not follow a good

dietary program. Free bowel movements are a must. Hemorrhoids will not form

if women will use plenty of organic calcium foods and do not have to strain

when eliminating from the bowel.

 

Hemorrhoids are simply varicose veins in the rectal area. Many books

explaining that surgery is not necessary do not go into the herbal

treatments but state that they can be controlled by diet and fluid intake.

We are fortunate in knowing that you do not have to " live with " the pain,

itching, and bleeding of hemorrhoids, even if it is not a major problem.

 

 

Atrocities Performed Upon Women in the Name of Science

 

There is an ever increasing number of hysterectomies performed in the United

States daily. It is almost standard procedure that a woman undergo the

surgical removal of her uterus and ovaries when she reaches menopause. The

hysterectomy was originally performed upon women to cure them of hysteria.

So the word for the operation was not uterectomy or ovariectomy, but

hysterectomy. Truly a male chauvinist term.

 

The reasons for hysterectomy vary. Some women develop a prolapsed condition

of the abdominal organs and pressure is put on other organs. This occurs

when vaginal muscle tone is lost from heavy manual labor or long and hard

childbirths. Other women develop painful or profuse menstruation. Some women

suffer from cancer of the uterus, cervix, etc. Others develop fibroid

tumors, severe anemia from bleeding of the uterus, adenomyosis, which is

that the lining of the uterine cavity has penetrated the wall of the uterus.

The latter is a disease developed by women who have often had several

childbirths by Caesarian section. Endometriosis is a similar disorder in

which the lining of the uterine cavity, the endometrium, is found in other

places beside the uterine cavity. The disease can infiltrate the ovaries and

nearby organs as well. Surgeons can eradicate the disease by removal of the

uterus, or the uterus and ovaries. Hormone therapy is also available, but

the side effects may be

uncomfortable. There is also the possibility of removal of most of the

endometrium in order to give the woman a few more years of childbearing. The

disease quite frequently reoccurs. Pelvic inflammatory disease, sometimes

caused by venereal disease, is surgically " cured " by the removal of the

uterus, tubes, and ovaries. If a woman has ovarian cysts necessitating the

removal of the ovaries, the uterus is also removed because, according to

surgeons, the uterus is now a " functionless " organ. Hernias of the bladder

and the rectum into the vaginal canal is also reason to perform a

hysterectomy. (In all of the above cases, the uterus has been neglected and

suffers from malnutrition.)

 

Dr. Bieler, in his book, Food is Your Best Medicine, suggests that one of

the causes of cancer of the uterus results from eating the wrong types of

foods. An overabundance of animal protein in the diet is difficult for the

body to handle (as is an overabundance of starches) and the putrefied wastes

are eliminated monthly through the uterus. This is akin to using the uterus

as a garbage filter. After about 25 years, the uterus simply has been

disintegrated beyond repair. As if the above operations and reasons for

their performance don't sound horrible enough, some women choose to have

their organs removed as a measure of sterility or as a future precaution

against uterine cancer.

 

One in every two women will have a hysterectomy by the time they are 65.

Most women are easily talked into these operations by the doctor as a

salesperson. Why bother with having more children? Why bother with

menstruation problems? Mendelsohn cites examples of hysterectomies performed

on poor patients in charity hospitals. While the woman is in labor, a doctor

will say, " You really don't want any more children, do you? " And convince

her to undergo a hysterectomy.

 

A great contributor to female reproductive disorders is the indiscriminate

use of inorganic estrogen. There are warnings printed in the drug company

advertisements about the possibilities of developing endometrial cancer from

their ingestion. This is the popular " Pill " that women have been using for

decades to prevent pregnancy.

 

There is neither time nor space here to discuss all the heartbreaking

stories of the gullible women who have ruined their lives by trusting an

ignorant or diabolical surgeon without even obtaining the proverbial second

opinion. Let us recommend several of our natural herbal aids in this space.

 

First of all, many diseases, including female reproductive organ disorders

originate because the bowel and the blood stream are filthy. The first task

is to clean those up and keep them clean. The Lower Bowel Formula and the

Blood Stream Formula can accomplish this. The diet must adhere as closely as

possible to the mucusless diet, and plenty of distilled water should be

used. Fresh air, rest, exercise, and sunshine, along with a healthy mental

attitude are necessary. The Female Reproductive Formula consisting of golden

seal root, blessed thistle, cayenne, cramp bark, false unicorn root, ginger,

red raspberry leaves, squaw vine, and uva ursi is recommended (at least 2

capsules morning and evening or three times a day --- as a tea if you

prefer). Red raspberry leaf tea has always helped strengthen the

reproductive system. The next formula (and it can be taken together with the

female formula) is the hormone and estrogen formula Hormonal Changease

containing black cohosh, sarsaparilla,

ginseng, licorice, false unicorn, blessed thistle, and squaw vine. This

herbal formula will supply the necessary hormones and estrogens missing in

today's processed foods. These two formulas will rebuild the uterus, the

ovaries and the fallopian tubes. For strengthening the organs which have

been prolapsed, the slant board routine can be used along with the Slant

Board Combination of herbs. (Yellow Dock Combination)

 

The Vaginal Bolus routine will draw out toxic waste material from the female

reproductive area. Many women have gotten rid of cancers, cysts, and tumors

in addition to infections and the like through the use of this suppository

routine. Just recently, we have heard of two cases of cervical cancer

(previously diagnosed) that were completely healed within several weeks. Not

a trace of the cancerous material was left upon a follow-up examination.

These were two women who didn't want to change their diets, but tried the

herbs alone.

 

We urge women to at least give the alternatives a try instead of succumbing

to the scalpel.

 

 

Mastectomy

 

The most disgusting fact concerning mastectomy is that many times cancer of

the breast in women is misdiagnosed, leaving a patient without a breast or

breasts needlessly. The eagerness with which surgeons are willing to remove

the breast simply because of a lump discovered has reached epidemic

proportions. Many women have found that there was another alternative to the

radical mastectomy after the operation was performed upon them. During the

last decade mastectomies increased by 50%. Two wives of prominently

political men, one, the First Lady, in fact, had their breast removed. They

valiantly lived with their sacrifice. It seemed that after they were tops in

the news, many women followed suit. We actually heard of a program where

women could have their breasts removed before they even developed any sort

of disease in them. This is one of the most sadistic and masochistic

programs we have ever heard of.

 

Many modern medical practices have added to the development of cancer of the

breast. The Pill, a contraceptive and inorganic estrogen is one. DES, used

to dry up milk in nursing mothers, or as a " morning after " pill is another.

Unnecessary X-rays is another contributing factor.

 

When there is any problem with the breast, and this should be noticed early,

we use the fomentation of 3 parts mullein and one part lobelia (Glandular

System Formula) or Glandular Formula Massage Oil over the affected area. It

may be taken internally as well. Many Indian tribes have used a fomentation

of poke root externally to draw out the cancer. As with all cancers, they

begin in the blood stream and radiate out to other parts of the body where

they are manifested. The Blood Stream Formula can be used to purify the

bloodstream, the nutrient transport system of the body. Cysts and tumors

will not grow in an atmosphere where there is enough potassium. Elderberry

tincture can be taken for potassium increase along with foods that are high

in potassium.

 

 

Childbirth

 

There are three really unnecessary and dangerous procedures executed in

childbirth at the operating room. One is the forceps delivery of the baby,

the next, the episiotomy, and the third the famous Caesarian section. All

three reflect the lack of patience on the part of the medical staff for a

simple and natural procedure such as childbirth. We have looked into the

irises of some people who are now 35 or 40, and see that the medulla

(involving motor nerve function) has been damaged long ago because of a

forceps delivery. The baby's head is a delicate thing and can easily be

damaged by the use of this steel instrument. Of course, the Ear & Nerve

Formula can be used to help these people with damage to the brain area, as

can the BF & C fomentations, but mothers, why subject your baby to such

torture?

 

The episiotomy is an incision made in the perineum so that the mother will

not tear and the baby can come out more easily. This operation is standard

on 85% of the first time mothers in this country. The reasons given by the

surgeons are obsolete. Recent research shows that the perineum does not heal

any better than a normal tear. With patience during a birth and proper

coaching the mother will not tear. Many of the midwives we know use olive

oil or wheat germ oil throughout pregnancy to give the perineum some

elasticity. It can also be massaged into the perineum during the birth.

 

This operation requires a local anesthetic. A slipup could send the needle

into the baby's brain. The incision is often a site where infection can set

in. The episiotomy takes longer to repair than a small natural tear. Some of

the midwives use comfrey poultices or fomentations to decrease the healing

time should a tear occur.

 

Julius Caesar's mother had died during the course of childbirth. The

standard Roman practice was to leave the infant in the mother and the infant

would die also. Some quick thinker decided to cut open the mother to see if

the infant had a chance to live. This was the origin of the Caesarian

section. It was originally performed on mothers who had died during

delivery. Nowadays it is quickly becoming standard medical practice. Why?

For one, it is quicker for the doctor to open up the woman and take the baby

rather than waiting for the labor to run its course. Secondly, a Caesarian

operation brings in more money. There are many poor excuses that a doctor

will make up in order to justify a Caesarian delivery. Not progressing in

labor is one of the most ridiculous. Once a woman has had a Caesarian

section, her obstetrician will not usually permit her to have a normal

vaginal delivery.

 

A Caesarian section should only be performed if the life of the mother or

the child is truly at stake. It is a serious operation involving great risks

to the mother and the baby. There are many books available on natural

childbirth and pre-natal care. If a mother must have a hospital birth, we

suggest that she find a doctor who is not accustomed to performing Caesarian

sections on most of his patients.

 

 

Coronary Surgery

 

There are many men and women who have gone into the hospital for the

coronary bypass operation. While in some cases this operation has prolonged

the lives of some men, in others it has done nothing. Where the heart is

concerned, we recommend the Hawthorn Berry Syrup no matter what the ailment.

This is a food that will strengthen and rebuild the heart. Coronary disease

is a result of our poor living habits. Again, these must be changed in order

to preserve our hearts.

 

Studies have shown that the coronary bypass operation had not reduced the

heart attack rate significantly. The only thing that will help is to reduce

the intake of saturated fats so that they cannot clog the arteries. Cayenne

pepper will also help strengthen the arteries. Moderate exercise and

reduction of stress will also help the heart. The coronary bypass is one of

those operations that has unfortunately faddishly reached great popularity

and seems to by losing ground.

 

We feel that we, as a progressive nation, wait too long before we

investigate the simple principles that were put forth by such great men as

Samuel Thomson, Jethro Kloss, and Dr. Shook. These men worked with nature to

simplify our lives and put us on the road to health.

 

 

Cancer Surgery

 

Just a word about cancer. It is a systematic disease. It depends on filth in

the bowel and the blood stream. Our understanding of cancer is different

from that of the surgeon's. We see the body being able to " clean up its act "

and stop recycling the same old toxins around and around in the body. All

channels of elimination (including the skin) must be functioning. The food

intake must be pure.

 

Even though a person is operated upon for a cancerous tumor, there is no

guarantee that the cancer will not return simply because the cause was not

studied.

 

" Cancer " is a frightening word. The one we use is " cell deterioration. " This

explains the process in the body more clearly than the word, " cancer. "

 

Sometimes, during an operation for a tumor, blood spills over into the rest

of the body. This blood contains some of the tumor cells. The doctors

sometimes say, " Oh, the body will take care of those. " Mendelsohn suggests

that surgery would be unnecessary if the body could take care of the cells

by itself.

 

The medical alternative to cancer surgery, chemotherapy, presents side

effects that sound like horrors out of an old Frankenstein movie.

 

Our program, " The Incurables, " is a safe, nontoxic method to restore health

and strength. It is not as easy as surgery, however, it involves retraining

the little tyrants known as the tastebuds.

 

Remember the old Biblical statement from the Old Testament, " If the eye

offends you, pluck it out! " This phrase seems to be the general rule in most

allopathic treatment from tumors to tonsils. We now view the old medical

practice of bloodletting (to let out the bad blood) to be primitive. How

much more primitive it is to exclude an entire organ from the body as

punishment for its diseased condition. An automobile will not function

without a carburetor. A faulty carburetor can be replaced, rebuilt, or

cleaned out and the car will run again. The design of the auto makes it

necessary for each part of the engine to be integral. Parts cannot expect to

be ripped out of the system and still have good driving possibilities. Every

human organ is functional and contributes to the smooth operation of the

entire organism. It's erroneous to think that removal of an organ is

standard procedure. Surgery is no replacement for cleansing and rebuilding

the body. We need to work with Nature instead of

trying to second guess it.

 

We have unfortunately found that one of the most lucrative operations for

some surgeons is the " wadectomy. " This is an intricate operation where the

wallet is extracted and the contents removed. If we had been true to the

principles of living intended for us by the Creator, the last surgical

operation would have been the one performed in the Garden of Eden by God on

Adam's rib.
