OBSERVATIONS
FROM HEAL ABOUT CANCER.
Is Cancer a Virus?
Millions of dollars are spent
yearly in the search for the cause of cancer and its cure. Is this legitimate
or are scientists and the media just pulling our legs when it comes to
what is really known about cancer? Is it possibly just a fear tactic that
supports and funds mega-industries and research centers? Is cancer really
that mysterious and hard to understand?
At HEAL we had many students
with all forms of cancer. In these students we could see common patterns
that led to cancer. Many of them had something traumatic happen to them
before the cancer was diagnosed. This could be something that was physical
or emotional. Most of them had a lot of stress in their lives and did not
eat very healthy foods. All of these things led to a weakened immune system.
From this and other information we began to see that cancer was most likely
a virus that would lay dormant until some stress would lower the immune
system, allowing the cancer to grow.
With this theory in mind,
we tested each student for viruses with a professional Chiropractic doctor
using Applied Kinesiology or Muscle-testing. We would not tell the doctor
what kind of cancer the student had. The doctor would then test each student
for viruses throughout their body. By this testing he was able to point
out the exact location of each students cancer. He was also able
to detect other viruses that were affecting their health. ALL students
that had been diagnosed with cancer tested for a cancerous virus.
Many Naturopaths and healers
understand that cancer is a virus. The medical world has even understood
this. In the 1950’s there were many research articles printed on this subject.
The following statement was made in 1956:
“In Detroit last week, at
a meeting of the third National Cancer Conference, Dr. Wendell Stanley,
University of California virologist and Nobel Prize winner, went so far
as to state without qualifications that he believes, ‘viruses cause most
all human cancers….It is known that viruses can lurk in the human body
for years, even a lifetime; some cause trouble, some do not….In some cases
the cancer viruses might become active through circumstances such as aging,
dietary indiscretions, hormonal imbalance, chemicals, radiation, or a combination
of stresses, and malignancies may follow.’” – Viruses and Activating Factors
in Cancer, Newsweek Magazine, June 18, 1956.
In 1911 virologist Francis
P. Raus ground up some cancerous tissue from a hen. He then removed all
the cancer cells from the extract and injected the remaining fluid (minus
cancer cells) into other hens. All the hens developed cancer. This was
further supported in the December 1956 issue of the Journal of American
Medical Association:
“Experimental data began to
accumulate pointing more and more to the possibility that many, if not
all, malignant tumors may be caused by viruses. Thus, a large number of
malignant tumors of different morphology and in different species of animals
could be transmitted from one host to others by filtered extracts.” – Dr.
Ludwick Gross. “There isn't the slightest doubt in our minds that human
cancers are caused by viruses. To this extent they are simply infectious
diseases.” – Dr. Robert J. Huebner, chief of the Laboratory of Infectious
Diseases at the National Institute of Health at Bethesda, Maryland.
In 1905 Ellen White wrote:
”Cancers, tumors, and all
inflammatory diseases are largely caused by meat-eating.
“Flesh was never the best
food; but its use is now doubly objectionable, since disease in animals
is so rapidly increasing. Those who use flesh foods little know what they
are eating. Often if they could see the animals when living and know the
quality of the meat they eat, they would turn from it with loathing. People
are continually eating flesh that is filled with tuberculous and cancerous
germs. Tuberculosis, cancer, and other fatal diseases are thus communicated.”
(Note: I have a very dear
friend who was as avid meat eater, as she was a cattle rancher. She would
not eat at a very famous burger chain. I asked her, “Why?” as she did not
seem to be too picky about what she put in her mouth. She explained, “Oh,
that's where we sell all of our cancerous beef that no one else will buy.
They will take the most hideous looking cattle that we have.”)
We found these and other statements
to confirm our observations. Reread the above statements carefully. If
you can understand them, you will have your fear of cancer removed. You
will understand that cancer is not a great unknown, but a virus. The cancer
virus usual lies dormant until some form of stress weakens the immune system
allowing the cancer to grow. Now ask yourself, “Is there a cure for cancer?”
No matter what kind of cancer
our students were diagnosed with, they all did the same foundational program.
This program was based on Dr. Richard Schulze’s Incurables Program. Dr.
Schulze’s Program cleanses the body and strengthens the immune system,
helping your body to kill off attacking viruses, bacteria, and parasites.
Notes: We used a scale
of 0 to 10 as a guide to Muscle test the progress of the viruses while
the students were at HEAL. 0 being “no virus” and 10 being what we would
call “ a raging virus.” Most students came in with a 10 virus. While doing
the program everyone's viruses decreased or went to 0. This did not mean
that the tumor went a way. A tumor could still exist with the virus being
dead. It could take time for a tumor to shrink, as it either has to fall
out or be reabsorbed through the body. The virus would also fluctuate with
a persons moods. If the person was happy the virus would decrease. If a
person was upset, stressed, depressed, etc… the virus would increase. We
have also seen this with tumors. They act as a barometer and can grow or
shrink incredibly, depending on a persons happiness. Moods can also be
altered by the virus.

DR.
RICHARD SCHULZE SEMINAR - Seattle, WA
“Healing Cancer
Naturally”
In 1998, the HEAL staff went
to Seattle to attend Dr. Richard Schulze’s seminar “Healing Cancer Naturally.”
As usual, Dr. Schulze gave a powerful and enthusiastic seminar covering
the politics of cancer, how people develop cancer, how to heal cancer,
and numerous personal healing stories from his nearly 30 years of experience
healing cancer in his clinic.
This article will attempt
to pass on the basics of that wonderful seminar to you.
Politics
To begin with, Dr. Schulze
covered the politics of cancer. He made a statement, which at first
seemed strange, but after careful consideration made a lot of sense. He
said that if we were to eradicate cancer from the United States, it would
almost certainly mean a total economic collapse! This is because
so much of our gross national product (GNP) is centered around the trillion-dollar-a-year
drug and medical industry, the fast food industry, and all those industries
which are supported by these industries. Think about it… If we were
to really “cure” cancer, it would mean the end of the costly medical treatments
currently being utilized by hospitals across the country, not to mention
the expensive drugs, surgery, and follow up treatments. The fast
food industries would be out of business because people would be eating
fresh, organic foods instead of the high fat and cholesterol diets they
offer. Cancer is big business. There is very little motivation
by those who make their living “fighting” cancer the medical way to change
tactics.
Further, statistic published
in a report by the federal government’s General Accounting Office (GAO)
demonstrated that, in a 10 year study of the treatments for breast cancer,
chemotherapy contributed no noticeable improvement. Radiation is
a known cause of cancer. Surgery usually only cripples the patient,
making it much harder to heal. All said and done, the “untreated”
patient usually has a life expectancy of up to four times longer than those
who place themselves under the care of modern medicine.
The Basic Premise
Dr. Schulze simplified the
equation for curing cancer to “Stop doing the things that cause cancer,
and start doing the things that heal cancer.” So, the rest of the
seminar was spent covering those things that cause cancer, and what things
we can do to start healing. Healing cancer is really all about education.
What Causes Cancer?
Cancer is currently much
more wide spread than previously thought. Autopsies on men over 50
years old, who died of other causes, showed that 1/3 of them had prostate
cancer. At the turn of the century statistics showed that 1 out of
25 people got cancer. This year, the statistics are 1 out of 3.
By the year 2000, experts claim that everyone will have some form of cancer!
Is this showing us that our
modern-day lifestyle is drastically wrong? Can we learn from these
statistics, and make the positive lifestyle changes necessary to heal us
and keep us healthy throughout our lifetime?
Cancer cells are present in
everyone. When we have a healthy immune system, we kill these rogue
cells before they proliferate. However, once our immune system gets
depressed, these cancer cells can get the upper hand. Our immune
system is effected by what we do physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Physical Influences
Statistics show that if we
smoke, drink, and/or eat a high fat, low nutrition diet, we increase the
risk of cancer. In fact, 70% of all cancers are directly related
to diet. Animal based foods contain fat, cholesterol, hormones (both
natural and artificial), steroids, and pesticides in concentrated form.
Our bodies react negatively to these substances, and they contribute to
illness.
Additionally, being sedate
(i.e. a couch potato) increases the possibility of sickness. Blockage,
whether it is of blood flow, lymphatic flow, nerve flow, or “energy” flow,
is the basic physical factor behind disease in the body. A poor diet,
lack of exercise, plugging our lungs, bowels, livers, and kidneys with
junk causes poor circulation (blockage) which results in disease.
Emotional Influences
It is a proven fact that
our immune system “listens” to our emotions. When the brain makes
chemicals as a result of our emotional state, our body's immune system
has receptors which actually respond to these chemicals. So, if you
“hate”, your immune system responds to that emotion and becomes suppressed.
If you “love”, your immune systems responds with a positive boost.
Remember that feeling of being in love? Remember how you felt all
over your body?
Years of pent-up frustration,
feelings of guilt, sadness from the loss of someone or something important
in your life, the “victim” mentality-- all these types of negative emotions
are eating away at people’s immune systems. If you want to heal,
or remain healthy, its time to deal with these emotions, once and for all.
Spiritual Influences
God is the Great Physician.
In fact, nothing we do physically or emotionally will make any difference
unless God provides His power to heal. Our bodies have been imbued
by God with the divine blue print of how they are to heal. We think
nothing of it when we accidentally cut our finger, watch the skin scab
over, heal, and finally all trace of the injury is removed. How much
more willing is our body to heal itself from all forms of disease and injury?
The simple, yet divine healing
miracle is repeated millions of times every day and we need to get in touch
with this healing power. It is not within ourselves alone to heal,
but from the great I AM who breathed the precious gift of life within us.
Cancer Not Always A Curse
Dr. Schulze said that cancer
shouldn’t always be considered a “curse”. In fact, it is really just
our body’s way of telling us that we’re doing something wrong. We
have to stop “fighting” cancer, and start “loving” the parts of our bodies
that are sick.
What Cures Cancer?
As already mentioned, a healthy
lifestyle can prevent and reverse cancer. Eating the right kinds
of foods, which are conducive to health, is essential. We need to
stop eating animal based product such as meat, dairy, and eggs. These
products are full of growth hormones-chemicals which promote growth.
In fact, the medical term for a cancerous growth (tumor) is “neoplasm”,
meaning “new growth.” When we are going through puberty our bodies
naturally produce growth hormones which help to develop the human sex organs.
After maturity our bodies shut down these hormones. However, if we
continue to eat hormone saturated animal products, we artificially continue
this process. Is it any wonder that breast cancer and prostate cancer
are so rampant among the American population?
As always, Dr. Schulze emphasized
the importance of eliminating the wastes from our system. The audience
was stunned when he related how persons contaminated with radiation survived
if they had frequent bowel movements, and died if they did not. Getting
good nutrition into our bodies and the wastes out are critical factors
in healing cancer.
If we have the best nutrition
possible and take in all the best herbs, even if we clean out our elimination
channels, unless the sick part of our body gets the necessary blood, lymph,
nerve, and energy flow, it can’t heal. Circulation is the means of
breaking up “blockage” and permitting the healing process to begin.
Circulation can be obtained through exercise and hydrotherapy.
Since emotional and spiritual
factors are specific to each individual, everyone needs to work these points
out for themselves. However, some points Dr. Schulze made can be
used to better our chances for healing. Cancer many times effects
“type C” personalities. These are nice people who just have trouble
expressing their frustrations, and may have negative feelings about themselves.
It is important for these people to express themselves. Expression
is a form of elimination.
Affirmations are an important
part of healing. We are exposed to constant negative input from all
around us. Even the news on TV or radio can be so negative it almost
overwhelms us. We need to turn the negatives into positives.
Start thinking positive, loving thoughts, and enjoy your life. Learn
1000 jokes and laugh more. (“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” Proverbs 17:22)
We at HEAL want to personally
thank Dr. Schulze and his staff for a wonderful seminar. Our thanks
and gratitude are out to Dr. Schulze for all the sacrifice and dedication
he has put into natural healing. A lifetime of work he is willing
to share with others, all to ease the sufferings of his fellow man.
Thank you, Dr. Richard Schulze, and may God bless all your efforts!

THE
HEAL FOOD PROGRAM
At HEAL we have been following
Dr. Schulze’s three step food program. These steps are used with the incurables
program and are good for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
The first step is vegan food
(fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds, legumes), 80% raw and 20% cooked.
We implement this by having fresh juice with Superfood for breakfast, raw
vegetables (salad, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, etc.) and nuts for lunch,
and raw vegetables with a cooked vegan dinner. Fresh juice and potassium
broth is freely available between meals. Most students do fruit juices
until noon and vegetable juices after noon. We put all students on this
diet immediately, especially if they are not used to vegan foods. This
will start the cleansing process and allow Intestinal Corrective Formula
#1 and #2 to be more effective, as there is fiber to help push out the
old fecal matter. We do not allow students to take ICF#2 until their bowels
are moving very well.
Step number two is all raw foods.
This is the same as step number one except dinner has no cooked foods.
This speeds up the cleansing process a little more.
Step number three is juicing
all day. Students may drink as much juice and potassium broth as they like,
alone or with Superfood. This takes the cleansing process up another notch
but slows the bowels down as there is really nothing to push out the old
fecal matter. When doing this step we recommend doing an enema, with herbs,
at least once a day to cleanse out the bowel allowing the toxins to be
removed.
All three steps will start the body
detoxifying and rebuilding. Some students vary the program depending on
how their body feels. We have found that most people who are used to the
Standard American Diet (SAD) can only handle their body detoxifying at
a certain rate. If they detoxify to quickly they start to feel ill because
their bodies are re-circulating the toxins and it can only process so much
of the waste matter. We have found going slowly and building up to the
juice fasting is much more effective and calming to the body and mind.
When people are sick they need to have as little stress as possible since
they are already stressed by their condition. Many students like to juice
all day and have the raw and cooked food for dinner. They find this very
encouraging and satisfying. It is like a reward at the end of a hard day.
Any solid food during a juice fast will slow the detoxification of the
body down. However, sometimes this is all right if the body needs the toxins
to be removed at a slower rate.
We believe in moderation in
all things. This includes the amount of foods we eat and how intense we
do the programs. Depending on a person's constitution, they may be able
to do things more intensively than others or they may have to move more
slowly. Even in healing, patience can be a virtue. While doing any of these
food steps always listen to your body talk and do what is best for you.
Just make sure that you are doing the very best that you can and that you
are making improvements and moving forward daily.

COMPASSION
AND COMMUNICATION
"Finally, be ye all
of one mind, having compassion one of another,
love as brethren,
be pitiful, be courteous." - 1 Peter 3:8
Compassion - "Actively sympathetic
concern for the suffering of another: mercy."
What do compassion and communication
have to do with health? In our experience it has a lot to do with why people
get sick and why they do or do not get better.
On Dr. Schulze's series of
video tapes, "Dr. Schulze's Natural Healing Crusade," he talks a lot about
pooping and how from baby stage on up we are taught to suppress our poop.
When we were babies we were told "what a stinky gooey mess!" When we went
to grade school we had to wait for recess or raise our hands and ask to
go. Then and now if we make any noise in the bathroom we are laughed at
or teased. Here we have one of the most common and important bodily functions
and we're harassed and embarrassed for doing it! And the cost of not pooping
is serious health problems.
In previous generations many
things were hush, hush. We were not only taught to suppress our poop but
also our thoughts and feelings. In school you could express your
thoughts and be told "you're wrong," or could be made fun of and teased,
or ostracized by your friends. If you expressed your feelings you could
be a "sissy," "a wimp," or told "you shouldn't feel that way," etc... All
of these things taught us to bottle up our thoughts and our feelings, to
not express ourselves. When we start bottling up our thoughts and feelings
inside of us they can start to fester and grow. We can start to feel bad
for thinking of things or having feelings. This kind of suppression can
cause our bodies to allow diseases to grow. It can weaken our immune systems.
It has been clinically proven
that when we are happy our system creates more endorphins that boost our
immune system. This helps to fight off disease and viruses. The Bible confirms
this in Prov. 17:22, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine..."
When we start to suppress our thoughts and feelings we start to suppress
us, which is in effect shutting our creative process down, a major part
of life. We start to die. The Bible confirms this in the second part of
Prov. 17:22, "but a broken spirit drieth the bones." We all need a reason
to live. We all want to feel of value to ourselves and others.
If people are ill and doing
the "Incurables Program," and they are not getting very good results or
get good results then relapse, it is time to start looking at their life
and see what is upsetting it. Are they afraid to tell a spouse, family
member, or friend something that is important to them? Are they hanging
on to guilt? Or do things make them feel guilty? Do they like their life?
Are they happy with their job? Are they lonely? The list of questions goes
on. This is where compassion and communication comes in. During illness
family and friends need to be supportive and open in communication. They
need to have compassion for the sick one. Many people who are sick are
hurting from lack of compassion. Family and friends are afraid to talk
to them or touch them. Many people are made to feel like the illness is
their fault and like in grade school they are ostracized. These people
do not want to be sick but they need the support, love, and courage of
others to help find their way back to health.
At Dr. Schulze's last seminar
held in Seattle, he said "if you are sick you need to have a support team.
But don't count on your spouse!" What a sad commentary on the lack of compassion
we now have. The awful fact is that many people don't even have family
or friends that are willing to commit time and help to an ill loved one.
We are all too busy to help someone close to us whose life may be close
to an end. And believe me, people who are ill are very perceptive and they
notice this lack of concern, which makes them feel even less valuable.
It's amazing how we will donate time, money, items, etc... to people we
don't even know who are in need of our aid, but when it comes to someone
close to us, we drop the ball.
The thing that can help a
sick person the most is to feel loved and know they have a reason to live.
Sometimes people just need a friend that will listen and understand, and
if asked, maybe find some solutions. Many people have a lot of inner baggage
that when released can speed the healing process at a rapid pace. Some
things may seem small and stupid when brought out into the open, but can
feel great just because you expressed your fear to someone else and when
you told them it didn't seem so bad as when it was locked inside. This
may require a lot of work to really get to deep buried fears, problems
or wants, but keep communicating.
In many ill people you will
find someone who has shut themselves down and does not express their feelings,
hopes, wants, desires, fears, guilts, pains, etc..., and all of these bag
up inside of them causing blockage. As Dr. Schulze says, "all disease is
caused by blockage." Cleansing the soul is as important as cleansing the
bowels, without doing it your body will start to shut down.
In healing it is important
for people to have a healthy compassion for our loved ones and be their
friends, to give them hugs and touches, to listen and help relieve them
of their burdens. In doing this you will bring life to them and you.

HEALTH
& MOUTH
Dr. S., a biological dentist
from Spokane, came and gave a talk to H.E.A.L. members on the relation
of your teeth to your health. Dr. S. believes that your mouth is directly
related to your health. He believes this from his years of research in
his desire to help his patients.
Dr. S. gave us some very interesting
facts. He says the 3 biggest dangers in dentistry are Fluoride, Mercury
Amalgam fillings, and Root canals.
In one study a group of sheep
all had mercury amalgam fillings placed in their teeth. (They used sheep
because they do not eat any junk food and their environment could be easily
controlled.) After 29 days the sheep were tested for mercury in their system.
Based on a system that 50 Micro Grams of mercury is considered dangerous
here are the results. 280mcg of mercury in the mouth, 800 mcg of
mercury in the stomach, 4000mcg of mercury in the Liver, and 4000mcg of
mercury in the Kidneys. 50% of the sheep also had Kidney dysfunction. This
was only after 29 days. This is one of the reasons it is so important to
clean your liver and kidneys and to not have mercury amalgam fillings put
in your mouth.
We asked Dr. S. to tell us
about one of his most dramatic cases. He told the story of a teenage boy
who had been very active and cheery, who was always happy at home and at
school. The boy then became very depressed to the point of suicidal. He
did not want to do anything. His family was very concerned over this dramatic
change. One day his dad was watching a news program that talked about the
effects mercury amalgam fillings had on people. Some of the effects were
severe depression and changed personalities. He realized that these changes
had occurred right after his son had gotten new fillings. Prior to that
time his son had never had a cavity. His dad then took the boy into Dr.
S. Dr. S. said that the boy had 3 pencil tip sized fillings. He removed
the first 2 without any noticeable change. Immediately when he removed
the 3rd filling the boy snapped up like he had just awakened from a deep
sleep. He was back to normal. This had such an effect on the boy that he
wanted the records from his school of any student who had been suicidal
or had a dramatic change in personality to see of they had mercury amalgam
fillings in their mouths that they could be warned of this danger.
We asked Dr. S. what would
be a good natural remedy for removing mercury from the system. He said
that Chlorella was good and Cilantro with Olive Oil was very good, especially
for removing mercury from the brain. As a side note he said that that Lysine,
an amino acid found at most health stores, is very good for alleviating
cold sores.
It is just not the mercury
poisoning that causes problems. It is also the effect the metal has on
the electrical currents in your body. I think you all know what I mean
by this if you have had a piece of aluminum near your mouth. They have
done testing showing that this electric current in your mouth prevents
the rebuilding of certain cells by sending the wrong information.
Prior to 1928 Root Canals
were considered very dangerous to your health. Research had been done showing
that dead teeth left in the body caused bacteria to grow that would cause
different diseases including MS and cancer. They could remove a root canal
tooth from a sick person and place it in a rabbit. The rabbit would then
get the exact same disease the person had. In 1928 a man took these studies
and fraudulently changed the numbers to make it look like root canals were
good. This fraud was just discovered 3 years ago.
For 20 years one researcher
of cancer checked all of his cancer patients for root canals. In 20 years
of cancer patients 99.8% of them had 1 or 2 root canals.
Research has also been done
showing that cavities do not come from what is in our mouth but from what
goes into our stomach. Animals that had sugar injected straight into their
stomach still got cavities. Dr. S. says the greatest reason for cavities
is refined foods of all kinds. It is best to eat lots of raw foods. This
will give you good saliva that will re-mineralize your teeth.
If you are not having great
success with natural healing you may want to have a dentist, who believes
in natural healing and that your mouth affects your body, check to see
if your problems could be related to your teeth.
Dr. S. and H.E.A.L. apologize
for the animal testing done in this research. We are just using research
that has been done to show the facts.

DEA
- CANCER
DEA, a common ingredient in
soaps and cosmetics, has been found to cause kidney and liver cancer. DEA
is easily absorbed through the skin and accumulates in body organs and
tissues. This accumulation has been found to cause kidney and liver cancer.
Dr, Ebstein, who has done
the research on DEA, has said that this is such a major health concern
that manufacturers' should remove DEA from all products.
To be on the safe side check
your soap and cosmetic products and replace them with products that do
not contain DEA.

TWO
GREAT WAYS TO EAT A LOT OF GARLIC
1) Stuff Kalamata Olives with fresh garlic.
This really cuts the heat of the garlic. This was one of the favorite foods
at HEAL.
2) Add Garlic to your fresh juice and
blend. Before drinking juice, take 2 droppers full of Dr. Schulze's Digestive
Tonic. The ginger root will keep the garlic down, the peppermint will cover
the taste and the fennel will help your stomach. I also take 1/2 to 1 more
dropperful of the Digestive Tonic when I'm done with the juice. I have
been able to drink 12 cloves of garlic in a 24oz drink using this method.
(I had to work my way up to that many!)

HEALTH
HUMOR
A man runs into the vet's
office carrying his dog, screaming for help. The vet rushes him back
to an examination room and has him put his dog down on the examination
table.
The vet examines the still,
limp body and after a few moments, tells the man that his dog, regrettably,
is dead. The man, clearly agitated, and not willing to accept this,
demands a second opinion.
The vet goes into the back
room and comes out with a cat and puts the cat down next to the dog's body.
The cat sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, poking and sniffing the
dog's body and finally looks at the vet and meows. The vet looks at the
man and says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead, too."
The man is still unwilling
to accept that his dog is dead. So the vet brings in a black lab,
the lab sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, and finally looks at
the vet and barks. The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the
lab thinks your dog is dead too." The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis,
thanks the vet and asks how much he owes. The vet answers, "$650."
"$650 to tell me my dog is dead?!" exclaims the man. "Well," the vet replies,
"I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The
additional $600 was for the cat scan and lab tests."
