Albert Schweitzer was right! So was Linus Pauling!

"It's supposed to be a secret, but I'll tell you anyway. We doctors do nothing. We only help and encourage the doctor within." Albert Schweitzer, M.D.

Let me share something with you. It is just my opinion and I'm certainly no expert. I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV...or radio. I do devote considerable time to reading and researching information concerning health and general wellness issues and I share that information with my friends, with readers of my blogs, and listeners to GSFM 90.1 in Victor Harbor, South Australia. I encourage all to add this information to whatever you have found on your own and always, always, always consult your doctor or other healthcare provider before changing your health routine in any way. Get several qualified opinions if necessary. But make a firm commitment to taking charge of your own health. No one can, or will, do that job better than you can.

Having said that, I would encourage you to make a note of these two web sites and keep them handy. The first is http://doctoryourself.com/ You will find this site to be quite informative but I must warn you that it contains some controversial scientific information. Andrew Saul firmly believes that education is better than medication. Unlike many others I could name, his site contains no advertising. He is not indebted to any advertisers.

The second site I want to recommend to you is http://orthomolecular.org/ You may know of Linus Pauling. He was a molecular biologist who made a number of well-known claims about such things as vitamin C and its benefits in treating the effects of cold and flu. But he also believed that large doses of vitamin C could be used in the treatment of cancer. Many researchers discounted his cancer therapy, but most of their studies were terribly flawed. I have personally read a growing number of reports, studies, e-mails, newsletters that prove to my satisfaction the efficacy of vitamin C therapy. I am so convinced that I keep a file on my computer of physicians in my area who will administer something called IAA (or IVC) therapy, and should I ever be diagnosed with cancer, that will be my very first course of action. IAA is Intravenous Ascorbic Acid (or Intravenous Vitamin C). Taking large doses of C by mouth does little or no good, yet that's how many studies have been done. However when sufficient doses are given intravenously, vitamin C kills cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unaffected. I first heard about a successful case from the publisher of a health newsletter in England whose mother was diagnosed with terminal stage breast cancer. Too late for any conventional treatments. But she was administered a concoction of liquid vitamin C and hydrogen peroxide intravenously three times a week. Six months after the initial diagnosis she was cancer free and remains so today.
I recently read a case study about a man with prostate cancer. He received weekly IAA treatments and in a relatively short time his problem was resolved and today he is symptom free and his PSA numbers are great. No harsh drugs, no radiation, no surgery.

I encourage you to educate yourself. And be prepared for any health problem that might crop up. Of course, our main goal should be to stay well so we don't have to try to get well.
