OFFICIAL MEDICINE

4
00:00:15,607 --> 00:00:19,702
20,000 people die from cancer every day.

5
00:00:19,702 --> 00:00:22,826
This translates into 8 million deaths per year,

6
00:00:22,826 --> 00:00:26,457
half a million of whom are Americans.

7
00:00:26,457 --> 00:00:32,210
At the beginning of the last century, one person in 20 had cancer.

8
00:00:32,210 --> 00:00:36,896
In the 1940s it was one in every 16.

9
00:00:36,896 --> 00:00:40,614
In the 1970s it was one in 10.

10
00:00:40,614 --> 00:00:46,578
Today one in every 3 people has cancer in their lifetime.

11
00:00:46,578 --> 00:00:52,515
More than one million Americans are diagnosed with a new cancer each year.

12
00:00:52,515 --> 00:00:55,762
All these people suddenly dive into a dark tunnel

13
00:00:55,762 --> 00:01:00,932
that will dramatically change your life for many years to come.

14
00:01:00,932 --> 00:01:06,293
Faced with a seemingly endless stream of medical tests, exams, second opinions,

15
00:01:06,293 --> 00:01:12,801
medications, new tests, surgical operations, psychologists, control tests,

16
00:01:12,801 --> 00:01:17,847
they will find themselves completely at the mercy of the disease.

17
00:01:17,847 --> 00:01:22,179
While in this tunnel, each patient is powered by a huge medical device

18
00:01:22,179 --> 00:01:24,593
which employs hundreds of thousands of people

19
00:01:24,593 --> 00:01:30,532
and generates millions and millions of dollars for the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

20
00:01:30,532 --> 00:01:36,787
From research laboratories to medical schools, from prevention clinics to the global medicine market,

21
00:01:36,787 --> 00:01:40,648
Today the cancer medical apparatus is so big and expensive

22
00:01:40,648 --> 00:01:46,056
who needs the patients to survive, as much as the patients need the device.

23
00:01:46,056 --> 00:01:48,774
Cancer is a big deal, one of the biggest.

24
00:01:48,774 --> 00:01:53,982
The typical cancer patient spends at least $50,000 to treat their disease.

25
00:01:53,982 --> 00:01:58,092
With one million new American cancer patients per year

26
00:01:58,092 --> 00:02:04,244
This translates into $50 billion annually spent on cancer treatments in the United States.

27
00:02:04,244 --> 00:02:09,729
But for modern oncology, cancer remains a mystery.

28
00:02:09,729 --> 00:02:15,245
What a century ago were mechanical devices capable of lifting just a few meters off the ground

29
00:02:15,245 --> 00:02:19,450
today they have become sophisticated jets capable of reaching incredible heights

30
00:02:19,450 --> 00:02:24,028
at three times the speed of sound.

31
00:02:24,028 --> 00:02:29,031
What a century ago was the creaking of the telegraph over some whispering cables

32
00:02:29,031 --> 00:02:33,305
today it has become a global fiber optic network where millions of people

33
00:02:33,305 --> 00:02:38,135
they exchange information in all possible directions.

34
00:02:38,135 --> 00:02:41,335
What a century ago was still a relatively unknown planet

35
00:02:41,335 --> 00:02:45,713
Today it is visible day and night and has been exploited to an extensive extent

36
00:02:45,713 --> 00:02:52,675
that we can visit at every longitude and latitude on computers in our homes.

37
00:02:52,675 --> 00:02:56,240
The only thing that hasn't changed in the last hundred years

38
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,362
It is the apparent inability of medical science to understand and overcome

39
00:03:00,362 --> 00:03:04,849
a disease like cancer. Why?

40
00:03:04,849 --> 00:03:11,104
THE OFFICIAL THEORY maintains that cancer is a problem that originates in the human cell.

41
00:03:11,104 --> 00:03:14,384
Cancer is a group of more than one hundred diseases characterized

42
00:03:14,384 --> 00:03:18,402
by an abnormal and uncontrollable growth of human cells.

43
00:03:18,402 --> 00:03:24,017
Cancer is a sometimes fatal disease caused by the abnormal growth and division of cells.

44
00:03:24,017 --> 00:03:27,530
While normal cells have well-defined walls and nucleus,

45
00:03:27,530 --> 00:03:30,830
uncontrollable growth in cancer cells leads to the creation of

46
00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:36,859
abnormal and unstructured tissue known as a neoplastic tumor.

47
00:03:36,859 --> 00:03:39,953
Many cancer-related deaths are due to metastasis,

48
00:03:39,953 --> 00:03:43,302
malignant cells that penetrate the circulatory system

49
00:03:43,302 --> 00:03:46,961
and establish colonies in other parts of the body.

50
00:03:46,961 --> 00:03:49,732
How and where migrant cells stop

51
00:03:49,732 --> 00:03:52,920
differs in different types of cancer.

52
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,639
When tumor cells no longer move

53
00:03:55,639 --> 00:03:58,705
can begin the process of forming a new tumor

54
00:03:58,705 --> 00:04:03,689
leaving the blood vessels and starting to reproduce in the new location.

55
00:04:03,689 --> 00:04:07,257
If the new environment is suitable for the newly arrived cells

56
00:04:07,257 --> 00:04:11,025
will begin to grow and develop a new tumor.

57
00:04:11,025 --> 00:04:14,006
This official theory, also called molecular theory,

58
00:04:14,006 --> 00:04:18,082
It is practically the same as that which was formulated more than 50 years ago.

59
00:04:18,082 --> 00:04:22,327
Cancer begins as a deviation in the growth of a normal cell

60
00:04:22,327 --> 00:04:24,974
which is harmful and uncontrollable.

61
00:04:24,974 --> 00:04:28,684
If the abnormal cells grow slowly over a limited area

62
00:04:28,684 --> 00:04:31,657
They are called benign tumors.

63
00:04:31,657 --> 00:04:35,528
If the cells spread to other parts of the body

64
00:04:35,528 --> 00:04:40,089
they constitute a malignant tumor, one that is cancerous.

65
00:04:40,089 --> 00:04:45,287
Malignant growth cells penetrate and travel through the bloodstream

66
00:04:45,287 --> 00:04:47,621
to other parts of the body.

67
00:04:47,621 --> 00:04:51,766
There they can start the growth of a new cancer.

68
00:04:51,766 --> 00:04:56,699
Over the past 50 years, the search for the cause of cancer in human cells

69
00:04:56,699 --> 00:05:02,048
was pushed beyond anyone's imagination.

70
00:05:02,048 --> 00:05:06,620
Today the most advanced laboratories work directly on the human genome

71
00:05:06,620 --> 00:05:10,262
to identify genes that appear to be responsible

72
00:05:10,262 --> 00:05:15,163
according to some scientists, by the various types of cancer.

73
00:05:15,163 --> 00:05:20,118
This opens the door to a dream scenario for the pharmaceutical industry

74
00:05:20,118 --> 00:05:23,903
towards a world where every patient would need a personalized cure

75
00:05:23,903 --> 00:05:27,980
It is tailored to your own needs.

76
00:05:27,980 --> 00:05:30,431
One million new patients every year,

77
00:05:30,431 --> 00:05:34,759
a million new medicines for each of them.

78
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:39,158
What we want to do is match the disease with the cure

79
00:05:39,158 --> 00:05:43,156
or with palliative treatment, or whatever...

80
00:05:43,156 --> 00:05:46,218
using genome tools.

81
00:05:46,218 --> 00:05:51,926
This is what the entire cancer world will focus on for a long time.

82
00:05:51,926 --> 00:05:58,106
The question of overcoming the barrier to healing is not a question starting with "if"

83
00:05:58,106 --> 00:06:00,470
It's a question starting with "when."

84
00:06:00,470 --> 00:06:05,924
However, no one has been able to demonstrate that the official theory is correct

85
00:06:05,924 --> 00:06:10,001
and that the origin of cancer is actually genetic in nature.

86
00:06:10,001 --> 00:06:18,157
There have been great advances in the detection, prevention and treatment of cancer.

87
00:06:18,157 --> 00:06:21,285
But the mechanisms that trigger the development of malignant cells

88
00:06:21,285 --> 00:06:24,629
are not yet completely understood.

89
00:06:24,629 --> 00:06:28,514
Meanwhile the statistics only seem to get worse.

90
00:06:28,514 --> 00:06:30,266
We have lost the war against cancer.

91
00:06:30,266 --> 00:06:34,719
Since the 1950s, the outcome for most cancer patients has remained the same:

92
00:06:34,719 --> 00:06:40,363
a one in three chance of living five years after diagnosis using conventional therapies:

93
00:06:40,363 --> 00:06:43,462
surgery, radiation, chemotherapy.

94
00:06:43,462 --> 00:06:47,194
The reality is that today, two out of every three American cancer patients

95
00:06:47,194 --> 00:06:50,178
they will die before five years.

96
00:06:50,178 --> 00:06:55,552
Despite such results, official oncology continues to impose on patients

97
00:06:55,552 --> 00:07:00,824
the only three therapies that have been authorized in the last hundred years:

98
00:07:00,824 --> 00:07:02,607
surgery,

99
00:07:02,607 --> 00:07:04,543
chemotherapy,

100
00:07:04,543 --> 00:07:07,853
and radiotherapy.

101
00:07:07,853 --> 00:07:13,280
And two of the three are actually cancerous.

102
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,520
Surgery is the oldest and most successful technique of the three.

103
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:23,815
But surgery is only useful when the cancer is localized, in the minority of cases.

104
00:07:23,815 --> 00:07:28,094
Patients also fear the dangerous side effects of radiation.

105
00:07:28,094 --> 00:07:34,610
One of them is that radiation can actually cause cancer.

106
00:07:34,610 --> 00:07:39,074
The use of radiation remains controversial even in medical circles.

107
00:07:39,074 --> 00:07:42,407
No matter how much we worked with it, for example on a math problem,

108
00:07:42,407 --> 00:07:44,672
She couldn't understand.

109
00:07:44,672 --> 00:07:49,700
It takes me a long time to do my homework.

110
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:52,617
Part of Elizabeth's brain was...

111
00:07:52,617 --> 00:07:55,637
It was no longer there... due to radiation

112
00:07:55,637 --> 00:07:57,707
which destroyed that part of the brain.

113
00:07:57,707 --> 00:08:03,574
Therefore the part of the brain responsible for memory disappeared.

114
00:08:03,574 --> 00:08:07,496
Chemotherapy is designed to kill cancer cells in the body.

115
00:08:07,496 --> 00:08:12,274
It is however highly toxic and also kills healthy cells.

116
00:08:12,274 --> 00:08:17,757
Today chemotherapy is often prescribed in combination with surgery and radiotherapy.

117
00:08:17,757 --> 00:08:24,737
Typical chemotherapy definitely causes fatigue.

118
00:08:24,737 --> 00:08:30,465
There is a risk of illness, but today there are good anti-illness medications that can control it.

119
00:08:30,465 --> 00:08:37,963
Chemotherapy very often causes changes in taste and can cause dry mouth.

120
00:08:37,963 --> 00:08:42,569
The first side effect that many people ask about is hair loss.

121
00:08:42,569 --> 00:08:46,788
In fact, many chemotherapy drugs are carcinogenic.

122
00:08:46,788 --> 00:08:49,732
Known to be carcinogenic

123
00:08:51,390 --> 00:08:53,638
Known to be carcinogenic

124
00:08:57,068 --> 00:09:00,043
Known to be carcinogenic

125
00:09:00,043 --> 00:09:03,913
Their toxicity is so high that all employees who deal with them

126
00:09:03,913 --> 00:09:09,701
must observe strict safety rules.

127
00:09:09,701 --> 00:09:12,181
Your waste demands complete destruction

128
00:09:12,181 --> 00:09:17,395
and the incineration of any object that comes into contact with them.

129
00:09:17,395 --> 00:09:19,990
Some of these substances remain partially toxic

130
00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:25,391
even after incineration at more than 1,000 degrees Celsius.

131
00:09:25,391 --> 00:09:29,909
But there is something new about chemotherapy that has been found recently.

132
00:09:29,909 --> 00:09:33,218
Many women who receive chemotherapy for breast cancer

133
00:09:33,218 --> 00:09:37,907
They talk about disturbing changes in memory and ability to concentrate.

134
00:09:37,907 --> 00:09:42,061
Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center

135
00:09:42,061 --> 00:09:44,544
consider this phenomenon very real.

136
00:09:44,544 --> 00:09:47,484
Women complain of cognitive changes

137
00:09:47,484 --> 00:09:55,497
that occurred during the time they were treated for breast cancer.

138
00:09:55,497 --> 00:10:00,684
And the term "chemo-brain" was coined

139
00:10:00,684 --> 00:10:06,650
and is used to describe the decrease in concentration

140
00:10:06,650 --> 00:10:08,840
difficulty remembering things

141
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,352
difficulty thinking clearly

142
00:10:11,352 --> 00:10:16,581
and not being able to work effectively in your normal activities

143
00:10:16,581 --> 00:10:22,502
that the person did perfectly before being treated.

144
00:10:22,502 --> 00:10:28,854
Very simple things... I have to wait and think...

145
00:10:28,854 --> 00:10:31,363
and that is very frustrating.

146
00:10:31,363 --> 00:10:33,144
This one is red, this one is green...

147
00:10:33,144 --> 00:10:39,621
Researchers suggest that chemotherapy causes memory problems that can last for years.

148
00:10:39,621 --> 00:10:44,869
Children are also beginning to report long-term effects due to chemotherapy.

149
00:10:44,869 --> 00:10:47,827
Things like homework...

150
00:10:47,827 --> 00:10:50,980
like for example...

151
00:10:50,980 --> 00:10:53,868
math work...

152
00:10:53,868 --> 00:10:57,350
It's too noisy... I can't concentrate...

153
00:10:57,350 --> 00:11:01,427
and it makes me feel like my mind has been erased.

154
00:11:01,427 --> 00:11:04,005
But is there any benefit to chemotherapy?

155
00:11:04,005 --> 00:11:08,580
John Cairns of Harvard University published a study in Scientific American

156
00:11:08,580 --> 00:11:16,762
he found that chemotherapy benefits a maximum of 5%, 1 in 20 cancer patients who receive it.

157
00:11:16,762 --> 00:11:20,150
If conventional therapy has such limited results

158
00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:25,142
Why is the medical world not available to investigate alternative approaches?

159
00:11:25,142 --> 00:11:28,389
The answer to this question can be found in some historical events

160
00:11:28,389 --> 00:11:30,982
that took place almost a century ago

161
00:11:30,982 --> 00:11:36,121
when official medicine finally managed to gain ascendancy over the so-called "empirical doctors"

162
00:11:36,121 --> 00:11:39,366
who cured the sick with herbs and natural remedies.

163
00:11:39,366 --> 00:11:43,561
In the 19th century, society approved of both approaches to healing.

164
00:11:43,561 --> 00:11:47,517
Patients could choose designated allopathic doctors

165
00:11:47,517 --> 00:11:51,604
or the natural healers called Empirics or homeopaths.

166
00:11:51,604 --> 00:11:55,599
The two groups engaged in a bitter philosophical debate.

167
00:11:55,599 --> 00:11:59,511
Allopathic doctors called their approach "heroic medicine."

168
00:11:59,511 --> 00:12:04,353
They believed that doctors must aggressively pursue disease in the body.

169
00:12:04,353 --> 00:12:09,068
They based their practices on what they considered scientific theory.

170
00:12:09,068 --> 00:12:12,088
Allopaths used three main techniques:

171
00:12:12,088 --> 00:12:15,938
they drained blood to drain "bad moods";

172
00:12:15,938 --> 00:12:22,943
they gave huge doses of toxic minerals like mercury or lead to remove the original disease;

173
00:12:22,943 --> 00:12:29,950
and they also used surgery, but it was a brutal process before anesthesia and infection control.

174
00:12:29,950 --> 00:12:32,223
Few patients were willing to accept surgery.

175
00:12:32,223 --> 00:12:36,138
Most patients feared all allopathic methods.

176
00:12:36,138 --> 00:12:43,764
Satirical writers of the time commented that in allopathic treatment the patient died from the cure.

177
00:12:43,764 --> 00:12:47,554
Doctors competed with empirical healers who, unlike doctors,

178
00:12:47,554 --> 00:12:52,272
They believed in stimulating the body's own defenses so the body could heal itself.

179
00:12:52,272 --> 00:12:56,270
Instead of poisonous minerals, they used plant extracts

180
00:12:56,270 --> 00:12:59,916
and non-toxic substances in small quantities.

181
00:12:59,916 --> 00:13:01,891
They especially preferred herbs,

182
00:13:01,891 --> 00:13:05,870
They learned from Native Americans and all European traditions.

183
00:13:05,870 --> 00:13:09,353
Empiricists said that they based their medicine not on theories

184
00:13:09,353 --> 00:13:12,281
but in observation and experience.

185
00:13:12,281 --> 00:13:14,188
The satirical writers of that time commented

186
00:13:14,188 --> 00:13:18,413
that in empirical treatment patients died from the disease and not from the cure.

187
00:13:18,413 --> 00:13:22,558
And the balance of these medical powers remained balanced until the beginning of the century.

188
00:13:22,558 --> 00:13:27,029
Then new medical treatments emerged that were potentially very profitable.

189
00:13:27,029 --> 00:13:29,949
The American Medical Association has allied itself with powerful financial forces

190
00:13:29,949 --> 00:13:33,484
to transform medicine into an industry.

191
00:13:33,484 --> 00:13:36,973
The fortunes of Carnegie, Morgan and Rockefeller

192
00:13:36,973 --> 00:13:41,193
they financed the surgery, radiation and synthetic drugs.

193
00:13:41,193 --> 00:13:45,658
They became the economic foundations of the new medical economy.

194
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:54,349
Control of the medical industry was achieved through control of medical schools.

195
00:13:54,349 --> 00:13:59,013
Well, the people we are talking about, namely Rockefeller and Carnegie

196
00:13:59,013 --> 00:14:03,095
stepped in and said, "We're going to put money in."

197
00:14:03,095 --> 00:14:08,858
They offered large sums of money to colleges that agreed to cooperate with them.

198
00:14:08,858 --> 00:14:10,916
Donors told schools:

199
00:14:10,916 --> 00:14:14,486
"Since we donated all this money, it would be too much to ask

200
00:14:14,486 --> 00:14:18,730
that we place someone from our company on the Board of Directors

201
00:14:18,730 --> 00:14:23,530
to ensure our money is spent wisely?"

202
00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:32,289
Almost overnight all major universities received huge subsidies from these sources

203
00:14:32,289 --> 00:14:38,436
and they also accepted 1, 2 or 3 of those individuals I mentioned into their Boards of Directors

204
00:14:38,436 --> 00:14:45,547
and literally the colleges were controlled by the financial interests that put up the money.

205
00:14:45,547 --> 00:14:52,263
As a result it happened that these colleges received an infusion of funds,

206
00:14:52,263 --> 00:14:58,269
they were able to build new buildings, they were able to buy expensive equipment for their laboratories,

207
00:14:58,269 --> 00:15:03,430
were able to hire top quality teachers, but at the same time they did so

208
00:15:03,430 --> 00:15:09,204
diverted the system's direction towards pharmaceutical drugs.

209
00:15:09,204 --> 00:15:12,851
That was the effectiveness of philanthropy.

210
00:15:12,851 --> 00:15:19,172
From that moment on in history doctors were only taught about pharmaceutical drugs.

211
00:15:19,172 --> 00:15:27,099
Every major educational institution in America has been captured in this way by pharmaceutical interests

212
00:15:27,099 --> 00:15:30,271
and it's incredible how little money was needed to do it.

213
00:15:30,271 --> 00:15:34,334
Surgery became viable due to anesthesia and infection control

214
00:15:34,334 --> 00:15:38,466
and doctors defended the need for expensive and radical operations.

215
00:15:38,466 --> 00:15:43,687
This in turn produced the need for a huge and profitable hospital system.

216
00:15:43,687 --> 00:15:45,455
Radiology fever swept medicine,

217
00:15:45,455 --> 00:15:49,884
the price of radiology increased almost 1000% overnight,

218
00:15:49,884 --> 00:15:55,287
another expensive technology industry has entered the hospital system.

219
00:15:55,287 --> 00:15:59,482
A "drug" industry prospered through the medical patent business.

220
00:15:59,482 --> 00:16:06,216
Doctors changed educational standards, licenses, and regulations to exclude Empirics.

221
00:16:06,216 --> 00:16:09,006
Therefore, only doctors approved by the A.M.A. (American Medical Association)

222
00:16:09,006 --> 00:16:11,477
could practice medicine legally.

223
00:16:11,477 --> 00:16:16,321
In just 20 years the A.M.A. came to dominate the practice of medicine.

224
00:16:16,321 --> 00:16:22,166
Organized Medicine immediately launched campaigns to associate Empirics with charlatans.

225
00:16:22,166 --> 00:16:26,640
The code word for the competition was "Quackery".

226
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,941
So now the typical doctor goes through school, gets a great education

227
00:16:30,941 --> 00:16:34,110
He needs to be very intelligent to graduate

228
00:16:34,110 --> 00:16:36,124
learn everything about "drugs"

229
00:16:36,124 --> 00:16:38,866
knows almost nothing about basic nutrition

230
00:16:38,866 --> 00:16:44,966
The wives of these doctors, as a rule, know more about nutrition than they do.

231
00:16:44,966 --> 00:16:48,399
but they know about "drugs" and if today you go to your typical doctor

232
00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:50,386
- it doesn't matter which one -

233
00:16:50,386 --> 00:16:53,913
I'm sure you'll leave there with a prescription.

234
00:16:53,913 --> 00:16:58,100
Why? Because that's what he was trained to do.

235
00:16:58,100 --> 00:16:59,711
THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

236
00:16:59,711 --> 00:17:05,255
The companies that make up the pharmaceutical industry are among the largest corporations in the world.

237
00:17:05,255 --> 00:17:09,264
Together, these companies have come to be known by the term "Big Pharma".

238
00:17:09,264 --> 00:17:14,323
In 2004 their combined global sales were more than 500 billion dollars

239
00:17:14,323 --> 00:17:17,573
with Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson leading the way.

240
00:17:17,573 --> 00:17:20,921
In the USA, the basis of Big Pharma's enormous profits

241
00:17:20,921 --> 00:17:23,768
consists of the sale of prescription medicines

242
00:17:23,768 --> 00:17:27,475
and how these medications can only be prescribed by professional doctors

243
00:17:27,475 --> 00:17:32,221
Most of this industry's promotional and marketing activities are aimed at doctors,

244
00:17:32,221 --> 00:17:34,838
pharmacists and other healthcare workers.

245
00:17:34,838 --> 00:17:37,638
This starts on the first day of the Medicine course

246
00:17:37,638 --> 00:17:41,722
and in many colleges even newly arrived students

247
00:17:41,722 --> 00:17:46,001
who are two years away from seeing a patient

248
00:17:46,001 --> 00:17:51,183
begin to receive gifts from the pharmaceutical industry.

249
00:17:51,183 --> 00:17:57,237
And as students advance in their medical education

250
00:17:57,237 --> 00:18:00,632
interactions and gifts grow quickly

251
00:18:00,632 --> 00:18:02,991
to free meals, to dinners.

252
00:18:02,991 --> 00:18:08,052
Champagne, free meals, Happy Hours, football tickets

253
00:18:08,052 --> 00:18:11,133
Everything where you can spend money, you get money.

254
00:18:11,133 --> 00:18:12,822
And my boss always told me:

255
00:18:12,822 --> 00:18:17,704
"Don't worry, there will always be funding, spend all you can!

256
00:18:17,704 --> 00:18:20,573
In fact, if I gave you 100 thousand dollars to spend

257
00:18:20,573 --> 00:18:23,634
Gene, I want you to spend 200 thousand dollars!"

258
00:18:23,634 --> 00:18:30,132
Before 1980, most clinical research was funded by the National Institute of Health.

259
00:18:30,132 --> 00:18:35,018
In the 90s, most research was removed from universities

260
00:18:35,018 --> 00:18:41,610
and transferred to for-profit research organizations.

261
00:18:41,610 --> 00:18:47,920
The problem is that this gave virtually complete control of research to pharmaceutical companies

262
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,499
who could design the studies, they control the data

263
00:18:51,499 --> 00:18:56,321
many of the authors of the most important articles published in the best journals

264
00:18:56,321 --> 00:19:00,278
they are not even allowed to see their own data, they do not have free access to them,

265
00:19:00,278 --> 00:19:02,953
and companies control publications.

266
00:19:02,953 --> 00:19:08,729
To sum it all up, the pharmaceutical industry first gained control of the education system

267
00:19:08,729 --> 00:19:14,734
then gave it to A.M.A. the power to exclude all other physicians from the practice of medicine.

268
00:19:14,734 --> 00:19:18,170
He then took charge of the entire drug testing process

269
00:19:18,170 --> 00:19:22,871
while heavily influencing the medical publications that review these medications.

270
00:19:22,871 --> 00:19:26,719
And finally Big Pharma extended its control to the federal entity

271
00:19:26,719 --> 00:19:31,104
which is supposed to verify the safety and effectiveness of these medicines.

272
00:19:31,104 --> 00:19:35,274
At the opposite extreme are sick citizens, and in the middle are doctors,

273
00:19:35,274 --> 00:19:43,446
which must cure only based on information provided by the industry and which can no longer be verified.

274
00:19:43,446 --> 00:19:49,477
Chemotherapy drugs are in fact among the most expensive of all.

275
00:19:49,477 --> 00:19:56,863
A monthly dose of Erlotinib, a chemotherapy drug produced by Roche, costs $2,300.

276
00:19:56,863 --> 00:20:03,360
The same dose of Sorafenib, a chemotherapy drug from Bayer, costs $5,500.

277
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:10,916
A monthly dose of Sunitinib, a chemotherapy drug produced by Pfizer, costs almost $7,000.

278
00:20:10,916 --> 00:20:14,211
The pharmaceutical industry is the most successful global industry in the world.

279
00:20:14,211 --> 00:20:20,612
What they don't want is for you to heal because if you do, your market disappears.

280
00:20:22,850 --> 00:20:25,811
Part Two
NATURAL MEDICINE

281
00:20:25,811 --> 00:20:30,723
Fear - your darkness makes humanity make horrible decisions.

282
00:20:30,723 --> 00:20:33,966
With its terrible power, fear can dominate our lives

283
00:20:33,966 --> 00:20:38,168
and paralyze hopes and dreams, in an instant.

284
00:20:38,168 --> 00:20:42,021
A global disaster often used by those

285
00:20:42,021 --> 00:20:45,924
with the intention of imposing their control over the masses.

286
00:20:45,924 --> 00:20:48,249
Fear has a huge effect on the most vulnerable among us.

287
00:20:48,249 --> 00:20:55,201
Fear sells, and nowhere has it been used more shamefully than in medicine and human nutrition.

288
00:20:55,201 --> 00:20:58,332
Fear anesthetizes us, restricts us,

289
00:20:58,332 --> 00:21:03,181
making us believe that we can do very little of our own initiative to prevent or treat disease

290
00:21:03,181 --> 00:21:07,832
and forces all nations to kneel at the altar of the pharmaceutical industry.

291
00:21:07,832 --> 00:21:12,789
And, of course, fearmongers also preach fear of disease

292
00:21:12,789 --> 00:21:18,043
and the solution that fear mongers give us is "drugs".

293
00:21:18,043 --> 00:21:21,219
As if by design healthcare choices are limited

294
00:21:21,219 --> 00:21:23,293
information is scarce

295
00:21:23,293 --> 00:21:25,187
lives are ruined

296
00:21:25,187 --> 00:21:27,260
and the cursed truth.

297
00:21:27,260 --> 00:21:30,913
The fear machine is well oiled by petrochemical dollars

298
00:21:30,913 --> 00:21:34,655
and close to a global monopoly in healthcare.

299
00:21:34,655 --> 00:21:40,344
He works overtime to prevent the truth about dietary supplements from reaching the public.

300
00:21:40,344 --> 00:21:46,432
Everything that comes from nature cannot be patented.

301
00:21:46,432 --> 00:21:49,053
They are not interested in any of that.

302
00:21:49,053 --> 00:21:54,023
So... translating this into the real world of FDA approvals

303
00:21:54,023 --> 00:21:57,899
Surely these pharmaceutical companies are not going to spend 20 million dollars or more

304
00:21:57,899 --> 00:22:02,050
to test any substance in nature because it cannot be patented.

305
00:22:02,050 --> 00:22:10,676
And of course, the FDA states: "It is illegal to use unless tested for effectiveness and safety."

306
00:22:10,676 --> 00:22:14,790
Do you see... the vicious circle they trapped us in?

307
00:22:14,790 --> 00:22:19,642
Nothing in nature, no matter how effective it might be,

308
00:22:19,642 --> 00:22:23,260
will never be proven safe and effective according to the FDA.

309
00:22:23,260 --> 00:22:25,913
Never will be!

310
00:22:25,913 --> 00:22:29,490
Because no one will spend the money necessary to do the tests.

311
00:22:29,490 --> 00:22:36,664
So everything that comes from nature will always be rejected by the FDA as "untested"...

312
00:22:36,664 --> 00:22:38,822
an untested cancer cure.

313
00:22:38,822 --> 00:22:41,136
REN� CAISSE
AND ESSIAC

314
00:22:41,136 --> 00:22:45,644
In a small town in Northern Ontario in 1922

315
00:22:45,644 --> 00:22:49,964
Rene Caisse first heard about a cancer medicine that he called Essiac.

316
00:22:49,964 --> 00:22:52,927
Without appearing in history, this fragile Canadian nurse

317
00:22:52,927 --> 00:23:00,234
heroically managed to cure thousands of people with cancer with a simple mixture of herbs.

318
00:23:00,234 --> 00:23:05,071
While caring for an elderly patient, Rene noticed that she had a scar on her chest.

319
00:23:05,071 --> 00:23:09,630
The patient said it was a trace of a cancer that she had cured 30 years earlier

320
00:23:09,630 --> 00:23:15,347
using a mixture of herbs suggested by the local Ojibwa tribe healer.

321
00:23:15,347 --> 00:23:18,040
Rene tested the same formula on her aunt

322
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,714
who had recently been diagnosed with cancer.

323
00:23:20,714 --> 00:23:23,812
I went down and asked Dr.Arnold Fischer

324
00:23:23,812 --> 00:23:27,768
who later taught at the University of Toronto

325
00:23:27,768 --> 00:23:33,501
whether he would take care of her if I tested any of these herbs.

326
00:23:33,501 --> 00:23:35,707
And he agreed

327
00:23:35,707 --> 00:23:41,752
and it took a while but she was cured.

328
00:23:41,752 --> 00:23:48,182
And he lived another 21 years.

329
00:23:48,182 --> 00:23:50,546
After this successful experience,

330
00:23:50,546 --> 00:23:53,365
Rene left the hospital and started healing people

331
00:23:53,365 --> 00:23:56,644
with a mixture of herbs that would become known as Essiac

332
00:23:56,644 --> 00:24:00,054
which is his last name spelled backwards.

333
00:24:00,054 --> 00:24:01,673
Soon the news spread

334
00:24:01,673 --> 00:24:05,374
and the number of cured cancer patients began to grow.

335
00:24:05,374 --> 00:24:11,706
In 1943 I was diagnosed at the Municipal Hospital in Toronto

336
00:24:11,706 --> 00:24:17,347
as having a biliary tumor that was inoperable.

337
00:24:17,347 --> 00:24:20,230
And this happened in January

338
00:24:20,230 --> 00:24:22,375
and told my husband

339
00:24:22,375 --> 00:24:29,129
that when the snow disappeared I would probably already have disappeared with it.

340
00:24:29,129 --> 00:24:33,862
So, through friends, I was referred to Ms.Caisse.

341
00:24:33,862 --> 00:24:37,195
And I went to her

342
00:24:37,195 --> 00:24:41,565
and I underwent the treatment for almost three years.

343
00:24:41,565 --> 00:24:44,875
And I felt like I was healed

344
00:24:44,875 --> 00:24:47,058
and I haven't had any relapses since.

345
00:24:47,058 --> 00:24:51,432
Dr. Arnold Bastedo, in Bracebridge,

346
00:24:51,432 --> 00:24:55,671
sent me a patient with bile duct cancer

347
00:24:55,671 --> 00:24:57,618
Bert Rawson

348
00:24:57,618 --> 00:25:01,003
and I healed him.

349
00:25:01,003 --> 00:25:05,241
Then Dr.Bastedo went to speak to the President of the Municipal Chamber

350
00:25:05,241 --> 00:25:15,700
I convinced him to give me a building, which had been seized by Finance, a clinic.

351
00:25:15,700 --> 00:25:18,315
Because I had made a great discovery

352
00:25:18,315 --> 00:25:23,531
and should be supported by my own city.

353
00:25:23,531 --> 00:25:26,809
So they set up the clinic

354
00:25:26,809 --> 00:25:33,105
where I treated patients for eight and a half years.

355
00:25:33,105 --> 00:25:36,177
Within months the clinic was buzzing with activity.

356
00:25:36,177 --> 00:25:39,904
with patients arriving from all sides.

357
00:25:39,904 --> 00:25:43,632
The clinic was full every time we went there.

358
00:25:43,632 --> 00:25:45,785
And there were people who arrived in ambulances

359
00:25:45,785 --> 00:25:48,620
who were unable to come to treatment alone

360
00:25:48,620 --> 00:25:54,667
then they had to go out and administer the medicine in the ambulance.

361
00:25:54,667 --> 00:25:56,905
And as time passed

362
00:25:56,905 --> 00:26:02,671
let's see these people being able to walk

363
00:26:02,671 --> 00:26:08,032
and finally they drove their own car to take the Essiac.

364
00:26:08,032 --> 00:26:12,593
Treated between 300 and 600 patients per week

365
00:26:12,593 --> 00:26:17,846
and the only way they'll let me do it

366
00:26:17,846 --> 00:26:23,636
it was without any payment.

367
00:26:23,636 --> 00:26:30,585
And I needed to have a diagnosis from a doctor in each case I treated.

368
00:26:30,585 --> 00:26:35,321
So we took the diagnosis to Mrs. Nurse Caisse

369
00:26:35,321 --> 00:26:41,306
and I was treated by her weekly for almost a year

370
00:26:41,306 --> 00:26:44,298
and I currently don't have cancer.

371
00:26:44,298 --> 00:26:46,968
There was a Dr. Leonardo, from Buffalo,

372
00:26:46,968 --> 00:26:50,490
who immediately recognized the potential of Rene's cancer cure

373
00:26:50,490 --> 00:26:52,562
and warned her of what awaited her.

374
00:26:52,562 --> 00:26:57,822
Dr. Leonardo was a surgical oncologist

375
00:26:57,822 --> 00:27:01,127
and he said, "Do you think you have a cure for cancer?"

376
00:27:01,127 --> 00:27:04,712
And I said: "I'm past the thinking stage, I know."

377
00:27:04,712 --> 00:27:11,862
So... there were five doctors examining the patients

378
00:27:11,862 --> 00:27:15,530
and he asked if he could go with them to examine patients

379
00:27:15,530 --> 00:27:18,377
and I told him I could.

380
00:27:18,377 --> 00:27:20,439
So, after that...

381
00:27:20,439 --> 00:27:25,994
He said to me, "You really have!

382
00:27:25,994 --> 00:27:33,414
But the medical profession will never let you do such a thing."

383
00:27:33,414 --> 00:27:36,667
After some time, a mysterious group of investors appeared

384
00:27:36,667 --> 00:27:40,950
offering Rene a million dollars for her secret formula

385
00:27:40,950 --> 00:27:50,896
but she categorically refused because they did not guarantee that her cure would be freely available to anyone who needed it.

386
00:27:50,896 --> 00:27:54,336
Rene Caisse was summoned to the Legislative Assembly in 1948

387
00:27:54,336 --> 00:27:57,322
to determine the legal status of Essiac.

388
00:27:57,322 --> 00:28:02,199
I tried to legalize my treatment

389
00:28:02,199 --> 00:28:09,642
and patients signed this petition with 55,000 names.

390
00:28:09,642 --> 00:28:13,301
So I went to the Legislative Assembly

391
00:28:13,301 --> 00:28:18,083
and lost by three votes.

392
00:28:18,083 --> 00:28:21,700
Public protests forced the creation of a Cancer Commission

393
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:24,219
to investigate herbal remedies.

394
00:28:24,219 --> 00:28:28,517
The vast majority of Rene's evidence was rejected.

395
00:28:28,517 --> 00:28:34,755
See, they said the doctors had misdiagnosed

396
00:28:34,755 --> 00:28:41,043
and that was why patients believed they had been cured.

397
00:28:41,043 --> 00:28:44,754
We kept the clinic open as long as we could

398
00:28:44,754 --> 00:28:50,218
until they stopped the doctor from making diagnoses and then I had to stop.

399
00:28:50,218 --> 00:28:57,854
And it's very sad when someone comes with someone who has cancer

400
00:28:57,854 --> 00:29:01,157
and the medical institution said it could no longer do anything for them

401
00:29:01,157 --> 00:29:04,489
and they begged me to treat them.

402
00:29:04,489 --> 00:29:08,828
It is extremely sad to send them away.

403
00:29:08,828 --> 00:29:12,773
And I had a nervous breakdown because of it

404
00:29:12,773 --> 00:29:17,875
for even having to stop.

405
00:29:18,579 --> 00:29:22,473
I don't see how they can...

406
00:29:22,473 --> 00:29:27,284
How can they refuse to recognize...

407
00:29:27,284 --> 00:29:29,065
because...

408
00:29:29,065 --> 00:29:41,333
if you have the proof, you have the doctor's diagnosis, you have the pathological analysis

409
00:29:41,333 --> 00:29:47,654
and discovers that there are patients alive,

410
00:29:47,654 --> 00:29:55,092
demonstrating that they are still alive after the medical institution abandoned them...

411
00:29:55,092 --> 00:29:59,164
And yet refuse to acknowledge...

412
00:29:59,164 --> 00:30:02,179
which is a cure.

413
00:30:02,179 --> 00:30:05,956
After recovering from the nervous breakdown, Rene started again from scratch

414
00:30:05,956 --> 00:30:10,053
using the herbal mixture to cure patients in your own home.

415
00:30:10,053 --> 00:30:12,026
I had to grind them...

416
00:30:12,026 --> 00:30:14,837
I used to receive them already crushed...

417
00:30:14,837 --> 00:30:17,215
Soon the authorities began harassing her again

418
00:30:17,215 --> 00:30:22,019
arresting her several times for the most absurd reasons.

419
00:30:22,019 --> 00:30:24,558
But Essiac's fame had already crossed the border

420
00:30:24,558 --> 00:30:29,390
Then one day Rene received an invitation to scientifically test his herbal remedy

421
00:30:29,390 --> 00:30:32,177
at a clinic in Massachusetts.

422
00:30:32,177 --> 00:30:36,389
About 20 years ago, in 1958, here in this laboratory...

423
00:30:36,389 --> 00:30:38,693
The Director of the Clinic was Dr. Charles Brush,

424
00:30:38,693 --> 00:30:43,244
who was also President Kennedy's personal physician and friend.

425
00:30:43,244 --> 00:30:48,013
...to study the effects of a medicine

426
00:30:48,013 --> 00:30:51,284
or an herb called Essiac.

427
00:30:51,284 --> 00:30:53,372
And we discovered it wasn't toxic

428
00:30:53,372 --> 00:30:57,605
and even had beneficial effects in the treatment of cancer.

429
00:30:57,605 --> 00:30:59,024
And as a result...

430
00:30:59,024 --> 00:31:02,909
At that time, Dr.Brush recommended that Essiac be tested for toxicity.

431
00:31:02,909 --> 00:31:07,218
to be approved by the FDA as a possible cure for cancer.

432
00:31:07,218 --> 00:31:09,571
But when the herbs arrived at Sloan-Kettering,

433
00:31:09,571 --> 00:31:13,022
one of the most important cancer research centers in the country,

434
00:31:13,022 --> 00:31:16,924
the process suffered inexplicable delays

435
00:31:16,924 --> 00:31:19,574
and finally no conclusion was reached.

436
00:31:19,574 --> 00:31:24,742
The results they reported to me about the Rene Caisse case...

437
00:31:24,742 --> 00:31:28,741
were sarcoma studies in 180 rats

438
00:31:28,741 --> 00:31:35,018
where we were looking not only for a possible primary inhibition of the tumor, which never occurred,

439
00:31:35,018 --> 00:31:37,905
but also possible regressions.

440
00:31:37,905 --> 00:31:43,752
And there was a very low percentage, in a small group, of regressions

441
00:31:43,752 --> 00:31:46,685
but we never had the opportunity to confirm this

442
00:31:46,685 --> 00:31:49,645
to see if we could get better results.

443
00:31:49,645 --> 00:31:53,132
However, Essiac has not been approved by the FDA,

444
00:31:53,132 --> 00:31:58,155
exactly as predicted by Dr.Leonardo 30 years earlier.

445
00:31:58,155 --> 00:32:01,780
Future attempts to legalize the cure were made by different groups of patients

446
00:32:01,780 --> 00:32:07,107
going so far as to sue medical authorities for denying a possible cure for cancer.

447
00:32:07,107 --> 00:32:09,206
...allowing them to take Essiac.

448
00:32:09,206 --> 00:32:12,298
They asked to be given the right to use Essiac

449
00:32:12,298 --> 00:32:16,358
since orthodox medicine no longer has any answer for them.

450
00:32:16,358 --> 00:32:19,948
You cannot burn body cancer with radiation,

451
00:32:19,948 --> 00:32:23,974
you cannot poison the body's cancer without also poisoning the body,

452
00:32:23,974 --> 00:32:27,683
and I feel that nature has the only answer for cancer patients,

453
00:32:27,683 --> 00:32:29,591
so we must have...

454
00:32:29,591 --> 00:32:32,149
our Constitutional Rights are currently being denied to us

455
00:32:32,149 --> 00:32:35,806
and it should never even be necessary to reach a legal hearing

456
00:32:35,806 --> 00:32:39,802
It should be normal for us to be able to wear whatever we want on our own bodies.

457
00:32:39,802 --> 00:32:42,432
I have bone cancer spread throughout my body.

458
00:32:42,432 --> 00:32:47,539
And you're trying to tell me that if I think something will prolong my life a little,

459
00:32:47,539 --> 00:32:52,987
that I won't have permission to use it?

460
00:32:52,987 --> 00:32:56,375
But the response from medical authorities was always the same

461
00:32:56,375 --> 00:32:59,648
even at the cost of looking foolish with ridiculous excuses

462
00:32:59,648 --> 00:33:02,622
which they often had to invent to resist his approval.

463
00:33:02,622 --> 00:33:08,110
If we approve Laetrile... and Essiac... and Probison... and so on...

464
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:11,471
I can give you a very long list, with many choices...

465
00:33:11,471 --> 00:33:15,221
So when something effective comes along, how do you know what to choose?

466
00:33:15,221 --> 00:33:17,678
In fact, someone thought of a better way to prevent the use of Essiac

467
00:33:17,678 --> 00:33:23,006
in the future by doctors who perhaps had scruples about their conscience.

468
00:33:23,006 --> 00:33:28,206
It is well known in the State of California that state representatives decided to make it a crime

469
00:33:28,206 --> 00:33:36,625
doctors use anything other than the accepted methods for treating cancer and included in legislation:

470
00:33:36,625 --> 00:33:40,294
surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.

471
00:33:40,294 --> 00:33:45,463
And when doctors are left with their hands tied and their way of life threatened

472
00:33:45,463 --> 00:33:48,647
They won't be too eager to get out of line.

473
00:33:48,647 --> 00:33:52,860
Exhausted and frustrated by the endless struggles, Rene simply returned home

474
00:33:52,860 --> 00:33:58,510
and continued to treat patients on his own until the day of his death in 1978.

475
00:33:58,510 --> 00:34:03,111
A year before that day, many of his cured patients gathered on his 90th birthday

476
00:34:03,111 --> 00:34:04,991
to thank him for what he did for them.

477
00:34:04,991 --> 00:34:09,428
Former patients and supporters arrived in Bracebridge, Ontario.

478
00:34:09,428 --> 00:34:13,355
They came to help Rene celebrate his 90th birthday.

479
00:34:13,355 --> 00:34:16,532
They experienced the benefits of Essiac,

480
00:34:16,532 --> 00:34:22,469
many of them are as old as Rene.

481
00:34:46,736 --> 00:34:50,187
I gave my life to this medicine.

482
00:34:50,187 --> 00:34:53,000
I couldn't give more than that.

483
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,915
God has been good to me by letting me live so long,

484
00:34:55,915 --> 00:35:00,122
to see it used...

485
00:35:06,535 --> 00:35:11,674
used by people.

486
00:35:12,356 --> 00:35:15,014
HARRY HOXSEY
The Charlatan who cured cancer

487
00:35:15,014 --> 00:35:18,280
Very similar to Rene's story is Harry Hoxsey's

488
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,193
a Texan businessman whose father left him an herbal formula

489
00:35:22,193 --> 00:35:26,012
which would prove to be very effective against cancer.

490
00:35:26,012 --> 00:35:28,761
However, unlike Rene, Hoxsey was very rich.

491
00:35:28,761 --> 00:35:32,477
He was a born fighter who feared no one.

492
00:35:32,477 --> 00:35:35,924
This set the stage for one of the most protracted and virulent battles

493
00:35:35,924 --> 00:35:41,258
between a citizen and medical authorities in US history.

494
00:35:41,258 --> 00:35:45,044
The problems begin with what appears to be good news.

495
00:35:45,044 --> 00:35:49,276
And now we have in our archives and in our archives many thousands of cases

496
00:35:49,276 --> 00:35:53,876
with records, pathological evidence, radiographic studies,

497
00:35:53,876 --> 00:35:58,369
showing that we have cured cancer both internally and externally.

498
00:35:58,369 --> 00:36:02,875
We will give names, dates, names of doctors, names of institutions...

499
00:36:02,875 --> 00:36:07,547
Doctors labeled Hoxsey "the worst cancer charlatan of the century"

500
00:36:07,547 --> 00:36:13,781
but Hoxsey's supporters called him "an effective healer persecuted by the medical mafia."

501
00:36:13,781 --> 00:36:19,262
But until now they have never proven that this treatment does not cure cancer.

502
00:36:19,262 --> 00:36:24,688
The former gold miner, with an 8th grade education, became a legend in his time.

503
00:36:24,688 --> 00:36:29,162
According to Hoxsey legend, the medicine was discovered by his great-grandfather

504
00:36:29,162 --> 00:36:31,868
experimenting on a sick horse.

505
00:36:31,868 --> 00:36:34,632
According to history, John Hoxsey was a veterinarian

506
00:36:34,632 --> 00:36:36,981
whose favorite stallion got cancer.

507
00:36:36,981 --> 00:36:39,632
Took him out to pasture to die

508
00:36:39,632 --> 00:36:42,450
but three weeks later the tumor had stabilized.

509
00:36:42,450 --> 00:36:45,038
He watched the horse eating unusual plants

510
00:36:45,038 --> 00:36:47,402
that were not part of their normal diet.

511
00:36:47,402 --> 00:36:49,754
Within a year the horse was cured.

512
00:36:49,754 --> 00:36:53,298
Then John Hoxsey began experimenting with these herbs on animals

513
00:36:53,298 --> 00:36:56,328
and adding other popular remedies.

514
00:36:56,328 --> 00:37:00,545
He claimed to be successful and left the formula to his family,

515
00:37:00,545 --> 00:37:02,817
who finally used it on people.

516
00:37:02,817 --> 00:37:06,878
Hoxsey said his father was the first to test the medicine on people.

517
00:37:06,878 --> 00:37:09,638
He gave the formula to young Harry with one last wish

518
00:37:09,638 --> 00:37:14,748
of making treatment available to people whether they could afford it or not.

519
00:37:14,748 --> 00:37:20,704
Prophetically he warned the young man against the great priests of medicine who would attack him out of jealousy.

520
00:37:20,704 --> 00:37:22,856
It didn't take long!

521
00:37:22,856 --> 00:37:26,536
Hoxsey created the first clinic in Illinois in 1924

522
00:37:26,536 --> 00:37:30,207
and was immediately confronted with the anger of organized medicine.

523
00:37:30,207 --> 00:37:35,650
He was arrested more times than any other man in the history of medicine.

524
00:37:35,650 --> 00:37:39,158
However, in the 1950s, Hoxsey's clinic in Dallas, Texas,

525
00:37:39,158 --> 00:37:42,120
it was the largest private anti-cancer center in the world.

526
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,217
Hoxsey Clinics have established themselves in 17 states.

527
00:37:45,217 --> 00:37:50,187
The treatment was supported by senators, judges and even some doctors.

528
00:37:50,187 --> 00:37:54,258
Two federal courts have declared its therapeutic value.

529
00:37:54,258 --> 00:37:58,998
If the treatment had no value, how did it get so much support?

530
00:37:58,998 --> 00:38:03,092
Declaring a cure for cancer means challenging your assessment.

531
00:38:03,092 --> 00:38:05,909
While the medical establishment turned its back on Hoxsey

532
00:38:05,909 --> 00:38:09,806
Numerous individuals have done their personal research.

533
00:38:09,806 --> 00:38:14,958
These experiments repeatedly turned skeptics into believers.

534
00:38:14,958 --> 00:38:18,295
Among them was Esquire magazine reporter James Burke Wakefield,

535
00:38:18,295 --> 00:38:22,350
which in 1939 began covering Hoxsey's story.

536
00:38:22,350 --> 00:38:25,065
My boss Arnold Gingrich said one day:

537
00:38:25,065 --> 00:38:30,197
"Why don't you go to Texas and expose this guy?

538
00:38:30,197 --> 00:38:35,836
He's getting really famous and the American Medical Association wants to put him out of business."

539
00:38:35,836 --> 00:38:38,248
He said, "Go there, get acquainted with him,

540
00:38:38,248 --> 00:38:43,324
We wrote a few articles about it and put a stop to it."

541
00:38:43,324 --> 00:38:45,513
So that was the assignment.

542
00:38:45,513 --> 00:38:51,705
I arrived in Texas, I expected to stay for about a day to gather information and then leave.

543
00:38:51,705 --> 00:38:56,806
I was fascinated and stayed for six weeks.

544
00:38:56,806 --> 00:39:01,804
Every day Harry picked me up and took me to the clinic.

545
00:39:01,804 --> 00:39:09,575
We arrived one morning and he put his arm around an elderly man, saying:

546
00:39:09,575 --> 00:39:13,475
"Dad... the doctors want to cut him into pieces

547
00:39:13,475 --> 00:39:18,219
But I'm not going to let those bastards kill you, because you're going to survive."

548
00:39:18,219 --> 00:39:24,894
And he treated them and I saw them being treated and getting better and getting better.

549
00:39:24,894 --> 00:39:32,043
So I wrote an article for the magazine that I titled "The Charlatan Who Cured Cancer"

550
00:39:32,043 --> 00:39:38,617
and I sent it to the publishers but it was never published.

551
00:39:38,617 --> 00:39:42,960
Assistant District Attorney Al Templeton was more than skeptical.

552
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,042
He arrested Hoxsey more than 100 times in just two years.

553
00:39:47,042 --> 00:39:51,884
Then his own brother, Mike, had terminal cancer and secretly went to Hoxsey.

554
00:39:51,884 --> 00:39:56,255
When Mike Templeton was healed Al Templeton gave the credit to Hoxsey.

555
00:39:56,255 --> 00:39:59,269
Hoxsey's accuser became his lawyer.

556
00:39:59,269 --> 00:40:03,322
More and more people confirmed Hoxsey's claims about healing.

557
00:40:03,322 --> 00:40:07,235
Its most daring promoter was the Christian evangelist Gerald Winrod.

558
00:40:07,235 --> 00:40:09,912
His radio programs reached millions of listeners

559
00:40:09,912 --> 00:40:14,320
with sensational stories of Hoxsey's huge successes.

560
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,095
I would like to start this program

561
00:40:16,095 --> 00:40:19,702
reading to you what I consider to be a very important statement

562
00:40:19,702 --> 00:40:22,816
and I quote Judge W.L. Parton:

563
00:40:22,816 --> 00:40:26,369
"This is the second jury of 12 people who discovered in my court

564
00:40:26,369 --> 00:40:28,943
that Hoxsey's treatment cures cancer.

565
00:40:28,943 --> 00:40:33,648
Ten doctors discovered that the number of cures reached the thousands.

566
00:40:33,648 --> 00:40:38,222
Former US Senator Thomas studied a large number of cures.

567
00:40:38,222 --> 00:40:40,903
I did my own investigation

568
00:40:40,903 --> 00:40:47,039
and I was convinced that cancer was indeed cured by Hoxsey's method.

569
00:40:47,039 --> 00:40:50,585
This humble reporter can only say "God bless these charlatans

570
00:40:50,585 --> 00:40:55,039
the only charlatans who cure cancer today".

571
00:40:55,039 --> 00:40:56,656
But a new cure for cancer

572
00:40:56,656 --> 00:41:00,113
requires more than one personal investigation to be accepted.

573
00:41:00,113 --> 00:41:03,452
Requires formal scientific analysis.

574
00:41:03,452 --> 00:41:06,781
And I tell you that all I want is for them to come here

575
00:41:06,781 --> 00:41:11,692
the American Medical Association, the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Government, everyone!

576
00:41:11,692 --> 00:41:16,193
Come here to investigate and if I don't prove it beyond a reasonable doubt

577
00:41:16,193 --> 00:41:19,558
that our treatment is superior to radiation and surgery

578
00:41:19,558 --> 00:41:23,679
then I will close the doors of this institution forever.

579
00:41:23,679 --> 00:41:26,784
But the medical institution did not respond to his call.

580
00:41:26,784 --> 00:41:29,841
The doctors stated that...

581
00:41:29,841 --> 00:41:38,831
They already knew from their medical training that their medicines were...

582
00:41:38,831 --> 00:41:44,229
They did not have any efficacy, they were not a cure.

583
00:41:44,229 --> 00:41:50,510
They just believed in their ways and their beliefs.

584
00:41:50,510 --> 00:41:56,242
According to Hoxsey there was a more sinister reason why the medical institution did not investigate.

585
00:41:56,242 --> 00:42:00,585
Hoxsey said doctors at the A.M.A. they invited him to demonstrate the treatment.

586
00:42:00,585 --> 00:42:07,079
Among them was Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the influential A.M.A.

587
00:42:07,079 --> 00:42:11,018
According to Hoxsey, the day after his successful demonstration

588
00:42:11,018 --> 00:42:15,135
senior officials of the A.M.A. they offered him to buy the rights to the formula.

589
00:42:15,135 --> 00:42:21,036
The alleged offer would have given all rights to a group of doctors, including Dr. Fishbein.

590
00:42:21,036 --> 00:42:23,631
Like Ren�, Hoxsey declined the offer,

591
00:42:23,631 --> 00:42:28,123
because there would be no guarantee that the formula would be available free of charge,

592
00:42:28,123 --> 00:42:31,263
to anyone who needed it.

593
00:42:31,263 --> 00:42:37,010
But one thing was certain: Hoxsey had made a very powerful enemy.

594
00:42:37,010 --> 00:42:43,512
By crossing swords with Dr. Fishbein he angered one of the most influential figures in medicine.

595
00:42:43,512 --> 00:42:46,560
Dr. Fishbein holds a unique position.

596
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:53,269
As editor of the magazine he controls the A.M.A.'s main source of income. and as such the entire organization.

597
00:42:53,269 --> 00:42:57,812
He also published acceptable standards of medical practice.

598
00:42:57,812 --> 00:43:04,515
After the Chicago incident, Dr. Fishbein slandered Hoxsey by branding him a "Quack" in the magazine.

599
00:43:04,515 --> 00:43:09,891
He commented that Hoxsey's most enthusiastic supporter was the local undertaker.

600
00:43:09,891 --> 00:43:12,201
The A.M.A. attack it was relentless.

601
00:43:12,201 --> 00:43:17,107
Dr. Fishbein and Hoxsey battled each other over the next 25 years

602
00:43:17,107 --> 00:43:20,152
into a drama on a national scale.

603
00:43:20,152 --> 00:43:23,982
But instead of resolving the dispute by scientific means

604
00:43:23,982 --> 00:43:28,045
they threw it into the media.

605
00:43:28,045 --> 00:43:33,879
At A.M.A headquarters in Chicago, vigilant against charlatans is Dr. Morris Fishbein.

606
00:43:33,879 --> 00:43:41,524
There is no medicine or combination of medicines that we know of that cures cancer.

607
00:43:41,524 --> 00:43:48,255
When Hoxsey approached the National Cancer Institute (INC) for research, the agency refused.

608
00:43:48,255 --> 00:43:52,105
The INC said his medical records were incomplete.

609
00:43:52,105 --> 00:43:55,924
Hoxsey said doctors refused to provide the necessary records

610
00:43:55,924 --> 00:43:59,167
because of Dr. Fishbein's influence.

611
00:43:59,167 --> 00:44:04,350
The Government concluded that it would be a waste of public funds to carry out this research.

612
00:44:04,350 --> 00:44:09,412
Since he extracted oil in Texas, Hoxsey offered to pay for the tests.

613
00:44:09,412 --> 00:44:13,181
His challenges put public pressure on Dr. Fishbein

614
00:44:13,181 --> 00:44:16,801
and the doctor responds with force in the public arena.

615
00:44:16,801 --> 00:44:22,112
But when he wrote "Blood Money" for the Hearst Newspaper, he went too far.

616
00:44:22,112 --> 00:44:28,351
Hoxsey sued Dr. Fishbein and the Hearst media empire for libel and defamation.

617
00:44:28,351 --> 00:44:30,687
There didn't seem to be any chance.

618
00:44:30,687 --> 00:44:36,312
The nation's most notorious charlatan faced off against the star of American medicine.

619
00:44:36,312 --> 00:44:40,714
Surprisingly Harry Hoxsey became the first man to win a trial

620
00:44:40,714 --> 00:44:43,885
against Dr. Fishbein and the A.M.A.

621
00:44:43,885 --> 00:44:48,664
Dr. Fishbein had to resign from his position at the A.M.A..

622
00:44:48,664 --> 00:44:54,028
But the Hoxsey-Fishbein lawsuits made an even more shocking revelation.

623
00:44:54,028 --> 00:45:02,384
Dr. Fishbein admitted in court that Hoxsey's supposed cures actually cured external cancers.

624
00:45:02,384 --> 00:45:06,188
The most dangerous external cancer is melanoma.

625
00:45:06,188 --> 00:45:08,526
Can spread quickly throughout the body

626
00:45:08,526 --> 00:45:12,085
and doctors recommended extremely radical surgery.

627
00:45:12,085 --> 00:45:15,524
Even so, melanoma is often fatal.

628
00:45:15,524 --> 00:45:19,711
We have more positive evidence in the case of melanoma

629
00:45:19,711 --> 00:45:24,079
and we have the records, the files and the patients they can talk to

630
00:45:24,079 --> 00:45:27,414
who have been cured here in this institution more than in any other institution in the world.

631
00:45:27,414 --> 00:45:31,239
It's a bold statement but we have facts to support it.

632
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,565
Hoxsey went as far as producing his own film

633
00:45:33,565 --> 00:45:36,457
to make your voice heard by the medical institution.

634
00:45:36,457 --> 00:45:39,172
It would be an innovation for the medical profession

635
00:45:39,172 --> 00:45:43,000
if instead they dedicate so much time and money to the courts

636
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,178
into foolish tactics and smear campaigns

637
00:45:46,178 --> 00:45:49,290
to come to the clinic and do some research

638
00:45:49,290 --> 00:45:53,082
check out our methods, talk to some of our patients.

639
00:45:53,082 --> 00:45:56,596
Then you would understand why our treatment is so effective

640
00:45:56,596 --> 00:46:01,221
and in most cases far more successful than anything they have to offer

641
00:46:01,221 --> 00:46:03,740
as a solution to cancer problems.

642
00:46:03,740 --> 00:46:08,977
But instead of accepting the invitation, the medical institution turned to war.

643
00:46:08,977 --> 00:46:12,886
Mildred Nelson ran Hoxsey's clinic from the beginning.

644
00:46:12,886 --> 00:46:17,455
But this has never been investigated, except with criminal type investigation

645
00:46:17,455 --> 00:46:20,440
to see what he was doing wrong.

646
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,964
The FDA has always been notorious for harassing Hoxsey patients.

647
00:46:23,964 --> 00:46:28,930
They went to people's homes and took their medicine.

648
00:46:28,930 --> 00:46:31,940
They talked to them, saying they were doing something wrong.

649
00:46:31,940 --> 00:46:34,609
But when the government failed to stop Hoxsey in court

650
00:46:34,609 --> 00:46:38,260
the FDA decided to take unprecedented action.

651
00:46:38,260 --> 00:46:43,223
"those who suffer from cancer, families, doctors, all those who care for patients,

652
00:46:43,223 --> 00:46:48,185
advise and warn that the so-called Hoxsey treatment for internal cancer

653
00:46:48,185 --> 00:46:54,578
was found, based on evidence presented to the FDA, to be a useless treatment."

654
00:46:54,578 --> 00:46:57,940
Cancer can only be cured with surgery or radiotherapy.

655
00:46:57,940 --> 00:47:03,163
Death from cancer is inevitable without adequate medical treatment...

656
00:47:03,163 --> 00:47:06,317
And it was so successful that...

657
00:47:06,317 --> 00:47:10,060
the FDA went ahead and...

658
00:47:10,060 --> 00:47:14,454
issued it in the form of a poster and distributed it to post offices throughout the country.

659
00:47:14,454 --> 00:47:16,290
I'm swimming in blood now.

660
00:47:16,290 --> 00:47:20,526
They did everything possible to try to humiliate me.

661
00:47:20,526 --> 00:47:24,086
They took me to court again and again, but do I care about that?

662
00:47:24,086 --> 00:47:26,318
I'm not thinking about what they do to me

663
00:47:26,318 --> 00:47:31,225
I think about the 12,000 patients who are being observed and treated in this clinic.

664
00:47:31,225 --> 00:47:35,948
I only think about one thing: suffering humanity.

665
00:47:35,948 --> 00:47:38,612
But the government did more than warn people.

666
00:47:38,612 --> 00:47:42,911
Although the Federal Public Ministry was unable to prove that the treatment was useless,

667
00:47:42,911 --> 00:47:45,429
declared it illegal based on technical artifices

668
00:47:45,429 --> 00:47:49,968
such as false labeling or interstate commerce.

669
00:47:49,968 --> 00:47:54,475
At one point we had 17 clinics open across the country.

670
00:47:54,475 --> 00:47:57,918
The FDA intervened...

671
00:47:57,918 --> 00:48:01,500
and on the same day they all closed.

672
00:48:01,500 --> 00:48:06,905
And there was no way Harry had the money to fight them in court, state by state.

673
00:48:06,905 --> 00:48:08,736
After losing all your clinics

674
00:48:08,736 --> 00:48:14,590
Harry Hoxsey has finally given up his 25-year fight against the medical establishment.

675
00:48:14,590 --> 00:48:18,249
He built a new clinic in Mexico, put Mildred Nelson in charge

676
00:48:18,249 --> 00:48:24,003
and returned to Texas where he died in 1974.

677
00:48:24,003 --> 00:48:28,246
The Clinic in Mexico has treated thousands of patients over the years

678
00:48:28,246 --> 00:48:34,144
and is still active today with different doctors after Mildred Nelson passed away.

679
00:48:34,144 --> 00:48:37,981
But Hoxsey's treatment was never made available to American patients

680
00:48:37,981 --> 00:48:41,652
nor can it even be legally imported into the country.

681
00:48:41,652 --> 00:48:45,941
Those wishing to use the Hoxsey treatment must travel to Mexico

682
00:48:45,941 --> 00:48:52,632
and are authorized to bring only the amount necessary for their personal use.

683
00:48:52,632 --> 00:48:54,792
Max Gerson

684
00:48:54,792 --> 00:49:01,911
"Max Gerson is one of the greatest geniuses in the history of medicine."

685
00:49:04,546 --> 00:49:09,100
All the diets, healthy eating principles and nutritional concepts we share today

686
00:49:09,100 --> 00:49:13,687
has a single father: Maximilian Gerson.

687
00:49:13,687 --> 00:49:21,513
Dr. Gerson was the first to suggest that good health depends mainly on a healthy diet.

688
00:49:21,513 --> 00:49:24,059
Born in Germany in 1881

689
00:49:24,059 --> 00:49:27,827
Max Gerson was inspired by the figure of Ignaz Semmelweis

690
00:49:27,827 --> 00:49:33,057
the Hungarian doctor who discovered that to prevent infections in pregnant women

691
00:49:33,057 --> 00:49:38,347
Doctors should simply wash their hands in a chlorine solution.

692
00:49:38,347 --> 00:49:41,765
Before becoming a doctor, still as a medical student,

693
00:49:41,765 --> 00:49:45,706
Max Gerson suffered from repeated and severe migraines

694
00:49:45,706 --> 00:49:49,396
which literally stopped him from functioning for days.

695
00:49:49,396 --> 00:49:51,676
After two years of experimentation

696
00:49:51,676 --> 00:49:55,463
Dr. Gerson was able to eliminate the headaches completely

697
00:49:55,463 --> 00:49:58,832
eating only certain natural and plant-based foods.

698
00:49:58,832 --> 00:50:03,242
In 1918, news of Gerson's diet against migraines had already spread.

699
00:50:03,242 --> 00:50:07,048
However, in one case a patient came back with an observation.

700
00:50:07,048 --> 00:50:09,480
Not only are the headaches gone

701
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:13,882
but his skin tuberculosis also disappeared.

702
00:50:13,882 --> 00:50:16,843
This stunning news spread like wild fire.

703
00:50:16,843 --> 00:50:22,661
In April 1924 the famous lung specialist, Dr. Ferdinand Sauerbruch,

704
00:50:22,661 --> 00:50:29,210
offered to carry out a clinical trial with 450 patients with incurable dermal tuberculosis.

705
00:50:29,210 --> 00:50:33,680
At the beginning of the study Sauerbruch told Gerson in private

706
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,183
that even if just one patient showed improvement

707
00:50:37,183 --> 00:50:40,348
he would believe every word of Gerson's treatment.

708
00:50:40,348 --> 00:50:46,562
446 of 450 patients recovered, more than 99%.

709
00:50:46,562 --> 00:50:50,047
Dr. Gerson and his wife Gretchen had three daughters:

710
00:50:50,047 --> 00:50:53,236
Johanna, Gertrude and the youngest Charlotte.

711
00:50:53,236 --> 00:50:57,510
Among all the children, Charlotte was the one who showed a special interest in her father's work.

712
00:50:57,510 --> 00:51:02,188
By the end of the 1920s, Dr. Gerson's fame had already spread throughout Europe.

713
00:51:02,188 --> 00:51:08,653
especially after he cured Dr. Albert Schweitzer's wife Helena of her pulmonary tuberculosis

714
00:51:08,653 --> 00:51:11,530
and Dr. Schweitzer's daughter's skin disease.

715
00:51:11,530 --> 00:51:18,118
When Dr. Schweitzer was 75 years old, he came to Dr. Gerson, with diabetes, and was also cured.

716
00:51:18,118 --> 00:51:23,018
Gerson therapy aims to achieve complete detoxification of the body,

717
00:51:23,018 --> 00:51:26,606
through a series of intestinal washes based on organic coffee

718
00:51:26,606 --> 00:51:32,148
and a strict diet of vegetables and fruits grown on healthy land.

719
00:51:32,148 --> 00:51:36,595
Meat should be categorically avoided, as Charlotte explains

720
00:51:36,595 --> 00:51:39,395
Dr. Gerson's daughter, now 82 years old.

721
00:51:39,395 --> 00:51:47,861
Because meat in the body, in the digestive process, causes acidity, phosphoric acid.

722
00:51:47,861 --> 00:51:52,188
And in this acidic environment the body cannot function properly.

723
00:51:52,188 --> 00:51:55,045
The body must maintain hemostasis

724
00:51:55,045 --> 00:52:02,321
must maintain a very precise balance between alkaline and acid.

725
00:52:02,321 --> 00:52:07,053
Once detoxified, the human body confirms that it is a wonderful machine

726
00:52:07,053 --> 00:52:12,105
able to cure himself of any disease.

727
00:52:12,105 --> 00:52:17,983
Between 1933 and World War II, Dr. Gerson and his family fled Nazi persecution

728
00:52:17,983 --> 00:52:20,374
eventually settling in New York.

729
00:52:20,374 --> 00:52:24,524
Dr. Gerson's seven brothers died in the Holocaust.

730
00:52:24,524 --> 00:52:30,538
In the 1940s, Dr. Gerson's success in his clinic in New York surprised the medical community,

731
00:52:30,538 --> 00:52:33,981
but it also raised the forces of darkness.

732
00:52:33,981 --> 00:52:36,951
Dr. Gerson was curing cancer patients

733
00:52:36,951 --> 00:52:41,606
and as a result testified in front of the US Senate

734
00:52:41,606 --> 00:52:46,508
on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of July 1946

735
00:52:46,508 --> 00:52:49,717
along with five of his recovered cancer patients

736
00:52:49,717 --> 00:52:52,836
and with medical records of five others.

737
00:52:52,836 --> 00:52:58,763
His testimony was so incredible that on the afternoon of July 4, 1946,

738
00:52:58,763 --> 00:53:03,445
famous ABC news correspondent Raymond Gram Swing,

739
00:53:03,445 --> 00:53:07,412
declared on his program for all of the U.S.

740
00:53:07,412 --> 00:53:12,951
that for the first time in history a cure for cancer had been discovered.

741
00:53:12,951 --> 00:53:16,620
The public response was overwhelming,

742
00:53:16,620 --> 00:53:22,487
the phones at ABC station didn't stop ringing, something unbelievable!

743
00:53:22,487 --> 00:53:25,411
But what happened next was even more unbelievable.

744
00:53:25,411 --> 00:53:29,796
Two weeks later, Raymond Gram was fired from his duties at ABC,

745
00:53:29,796 --> 00:53:31,974
where he worked for over 30 years,

746
00:53:31,974 --> 00:53:38,922
and the Peper-Neely anti-cancer law of 1946, document no. 8947,

747
00:53:38,922 --> 00:53:44,632
It is now full of dust in the United States archives.

748
00:53:44,632 --> 00:53:50,757
Behind it all, it wasn't hard to see the hand of Morris Fishbein and the A.M.A..

749
00:53:50,757 --> 00:53:54,129
Fishbein had already had a long fight with Gerson

750
00:53:54,129 --> 00:53:58,243
since the German doctor was the first to denounce the dangers of smoking

751
00:53:58,243 --> 00:54:02,128
at a time when the largest advertising contribution to the A.M.A.

752
00:54:02,128 --> 00:54:04,678
it was actually from the Philip Morris tobacco company.

753
00:54:04,678 --> 00:54:09,163
In a repeated national survey of doctors from all branches of medicine

754
00:54:09,163 --> 00:54:15,042
Doctors across the country were asked, "What cigarettes do you smoke, doctor?"

755
00:54:15,042 --> 00:54:18,371
Once again, the brand that was heard the most was Camel.

756
00:54:18,371 --> 00:54:21,548
Yes, according to this repeated national survey

757
00:54:21,548 --> 00:54:25,850
more doctors smoke Camel than any other cigarette.

758
00:54:25,850 --> 00:54:29,727
Max Gerson was ostracized by the entire medical community

759
00:54:29,727 --> 00:54:34,025
who labeled him a "Charlatan" and continually attacked and persecuted him.

760
00:54:34,025 --> 00:54:37,779
I was investigated five times.

761
00:54:37,779 --> 00:54:40,991
- What do you mean by being investigated?
- By A.M.A.

762
00:54:40,991 --> 00:54:44,052
- Did they investigate him?
- Yes, five times.

763
00:54:44,052 --> 00:54:45,929
Whenever they came

764
00:54:45,929 --> 00:54:51,555
I showed them "Here is a patient you sent home to die: cured!"

765
00:54:51,555 --> 00:54:55,681
"Another patient you sent home to die: cured!"

766
00:54:55,681 --> 00:55:00,234
Next patient: "sent home to die: cured!"

767
00:55:00,234 --> 00:55:05,635
- What are you going to do? You don't seem like the type of man who's going to give up right now...

768
00:55:05,635 --> 00:55:10,767
- No. How could I give up when I see these great results? It's impossible!

769
00:55:10,767 --> 00:55:13,025
First, I'm going to write a cancer book

770
00:55:13,025 --> 00:55:18,347
and in this cancer book I will present as many cases as possible

771
00:55:18,347 --> 00:55:20,767
of people sent home to die

772
00:55:20,767 --> 00:55:25,922
so that all doctors interested in cancer can read it

773
00:55:25,922 --> 00:55:30,601
and I will make a translation into many other languages.

774
00:55:30,601 --> 00:55:33,363
Dr.Gerson took 10 years to write the book

775
00:55:33,363 --> 00:55:36,825
which presented 50 terminal cases, duly documented,

776
00:55:36,825 --> 00:55:39,015
which he cured with his therapy.

777
00:55:39,015 --> 00:55:43,999
However, Gerson did not find any important publisher willing to publish his book in the USA.

778
00:55:43,999 --> 00:55:51,334
At that time it was completely banned and banned by publishers in the United States.

779
00:55:51,334 --> 00:55:56,714
Because the A.M.A. Were you so opposed to Gerson's therapy?

780
00:55:56,714 --> 00:56:01,746
I think all medical associations are opposed to Gerson Therapy.

781
00:56:01,746 --> 00:56:07,629
Here comes a new approach, a nutritional approach, an effective approach.

782
00:56:07,629 --> 00:56:11,477
The pharmaceutical and medical industry,

783
00:56:11,477 --> 00:56:16,301
- if they really want a cure for cancer, since this disease is so profitable -

784
00:56:16,301 --> 00:56:19,862
Of course they don't want the cure to be through nutrition.

785
00:56:19,862 --> 00:56:24,231
Dr. Gerson spent the rest of his life isolated in his New York apartment

786
00:56:24,231 --> 00:56:27,133
where he continued to cure patients with the same therapy

787
00:56:27,133 --> 00:56:32,441
which had since been banned throughout the United States.

788
00:56:32,441 --> 00:56:37,275
This is where Dr. Gerson lived until the day of his death

789
00:56:37,275 --> 00:56:39,816
where there was a clinic to consult patients

790
00:56:39,816 --> 00:56:42,255
where patients were cured of cancer

791
00:56:42,255 --> 00:56:45,154
where he documented so many healings.

792
00:56:45,154 --> 00:56:50,116
And yet these cures are not available to the public.

793
00:56:50,116 --> 00:56:52,910
These articles were published in Europe

794
00:56:52,910 --> 00:56:56,923
but they were not authorized to be published in American magazines.

795
00:56:56,923 --> 00:56:58,352
- Why?

796
00:56:58,352 --> 00:57:01,787
- The reason is...

797
00:57:01,787 --> 00:57:05,115
the fact that it is not a patentable medicine

798
00:57:05,115 --> 00:57:07,655
and it is not an expensive medicine.

799
00:57:07,655 --> 00:57:11,320
That's the big problem, it's a natural therapy

800
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:15,302
that allows people to control their own health

801
00:57:15,302 --> 00:57:18,841
and does not require the intervention of "drugs".

802
00:57:18,841 --> 00:57:22,390
If Gerson Therapy were authorized in the USA

803
00:57:22,390 --> 00:57:24,584
- and I think it should be -

804
00:57:24,584 --> 00:57:28,759
We would have noticed a drastic decrease in cancer deaths.

805
00:57:28,759 --> 00:57:33,173
I estimate that mortality would decrease by at least 50%

806
00:57:33,173 --> 00:57:35,783
or quite possibly more than that.

807
00:57:35,783 --> 00:57:37,895
Just like Mildred Nelson

808
00:57:37,895 --> 00:57:40,803
Charlotte Gerson had to go to Mexico

809
00:57:40,803 --> 00:57:46,224
to open a clinic to heal people after his father's death.

810
00:57:46,224 --> 00:57:52,025
Over the years the Gerson clinic has had a constant flow of patients from all over the world.

811
00:57:52,025 --> 00:57:55,296
Medical records of more than 1,500 patient cases,

812
00:57:55,296 --> 00:57:59,268
are available to anyone who wishes to analyze them.

813
00:57:59,268 --> 00:58:08,775
Any doctor is invited to come to Hospital do Mexico to visit and see patients there.

814
00:58:08,775 --> 00:58:15,407
And with your permission, they will be able to access your medical records.

815
00:58:15,407 --> 00:58:18,264
But the medical institution continued to ignore the call

816
00:58:18,264 --> 00:58:22,294
while officially continuing to deny the validity of the Gerson Therapy.

817
00:58:22,294 --> 00:58:25,519
Dr. Dean Edell who is very popular on radio and television programs...

818
00:58:25,519 --> 00:58:27,545
A star on American television

819
00:58:27,545 --> 00:58:33,998
Dr. Edell has represented the voice of official medicine on the national network for many years.

820
00:58:33,998 --> 00:58:37,584
I don't think Gerson Therapy would have ever cured terminally ill patients.

821
00:58:37,584 --> 00:58:40,587
People get very confused by this...

822
00:58:40,587 --> 00:58:45,201
If you think about what Gerson Therapy actually is,

823
00:58:45,201 --> 00:58:47,453
you wouldn't expect to cure cancer.

824
00:58:47,453 --> 00:58:49,074
But people...

825
00:58:49,074 --> 00:58:53,481
Sometimes cancer heals on its own, there is a rate of cancer at which it disappears,

826
00:58:53,481 --> 00:58:56,541
Some people never had cancer, it was a wrong diagnosis.

827
00:58:56,541 --> 00:59:00,422
In 1986 I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

828
00:59:00,422 --> 00:59:04,530
which has spread to the liver, bladder and spleen.

829
00:59:04,530 --> 00:59:07,522
The doctors told me I had three more months to live

830
00:59:07,522 --> 00:59:10,054
to go home...

831
00:59:10,054 --> 00:59:14,162
get my finances in order

832
00:59:14,162 --> 00:59:18,289
and prepare to die.

833
00:59:18,289 --> 00:59:23,544
My husband never wanted to accept it, I was only 46 at the time

834
00:59:23,544 --> 00:59:27,757
I was very young, so we went back home...

835
00:59:27,757 --> 00:59:30,472
I went to therapy for two years.

836
00:59:30,472 --> 00:59:35,524
After three months the doctors were amazed that I was still alive

837
00:59:35,524 --> 00:59:40,368
They asked me if I had had a CT scan, and I had.

838
00:59:40,368 --> 00:59:42,251
The cancer mass disappeared

839
00:59:42,251 --> 00:59:47,433
They said, "We don't know what you're doing, we don't want to know what you're doing, just keep doing it!"

840
00:59:47,433 --> 00:59:52,791
The doctors at that time had said that I would not live to see my second grandson

841
00:59:52,791 --> 00:59:56,492
who is now 19 years old

842
00:59:56,492 --> 00:59:58,074
So...

843
00:59:58,074 --> 01:00:00,695
we proved them wrong.

844
01:00:00,695 --> 01:00:04,538
After therapy we returned to Utah,

845
01:00:04,538 --> 01:00:08,291
to a blood specialist and she...

846
01:00:08,291 --> 01:00:12,462
Said my blood was so clean, she wouldn't know I had cancer

847
01:00:12,462 --> 01:00:15,716
and said that I was the first patient that happened to him that...

848
01:00:15,716 --> 01:00:18,949
So I went back to the oncologist

849
01:00:18,949 --> 01:00:24,102
after doing Gerson Therapy for a few months.

850
01:00:24,102 --> 01:00:27,928
Then they saw that I was cured of cancer,

851
01:00:27,928 --> 01:00:32,225
through examinations carried out on the abdomen.

852
01:00:32,225 --> 01:00:35,078
He couldn't believe it, he thought it was a miracle...

853
01:00:35,078 --> 01:00:40,504
Ten years after undergoing Gerson Therapy, which lasted a year and a half,

854
01:00:40,504 --> 01:00:43,485
I went back to the Mayo Clinic...

855
01:00:43,485 --> 01:00:46,928
see Dr. Scott, who was a local oncologist,

856
01:00:46,928 --> 01:00:49,785
just to control, to make sure I was cured.

857
01:00:49,785 --> 01:00:53,887
And he said he looked 18 again.

858
01:00:53,887 --> 01:00:58,925
The blood tests were perfect and he couldn't believe the way I looked, the energy I had,

859
01:00:58,925 --> 01:01:03,074
and asked me what I had done and we talked about Gerson Therapy

860
01:01:03,074 --> 01:01:07,619
and Dr. Scott said "it's very good, but we can't sell it...

861
01:01:07,619 --> 01:01:10,203
Dr. Wallace Sampson is editor of the magazine

862
01:01:10,203 --> 01:01:14,587
"Scientific Analysis of Alternative Medicine and Aberrant Medical Practices"

863
01:01:14,587 --> 01:01:17,805
and which claims to present an objective point of view.

864
01:01:17,805 --> 01:01:21,119
Has Gerson Therapy ever cured a cancer patient?

865
01:01:21,119 --> 01:01:23,754
Of course not, and they don't even release their records, so...

866
01:01:23,754 --> 01:01:29,355
What would it take to convince you that this therapy is credible?

867
01:01:29,355 --> 01:01:31,920
Firstly, you must demonstrate why it works.

868
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:37,560
We know how cancer behaves and we know what kinds of things cause cancer.

869
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:42,508
So they must come up with some sort of credible theory of why their diet works.

870
01:01:42,508 --> 01:01:48,744
But secondly, they must convince us that everything we have learned about cancer in the last 50 years

871
01:01:48,744 --> 01:01:50,829
is wrong and they are right.

872
01:01:50,829 --> 01:01:53,434
How are they going to present such evidence?

873
01:01:53,434 --> 01:01:55,723
It's impossible, because they don't have it!

874
01:01:55,723 --> 01:01:58,762
Dr. Gerson documented so many cures

875
01:01:58,762 --> 01:02:03,993
and yet these cures are not available to the public.

876
01:02:03,993 --> 01:02:06,444
These articles were published in Europe

877
01:02:06,444 --> 01:02:11,075
but its publication in American magazines was not allowed.

878
01:02:11,075 --> 01:02:15,840
Dr. Stephen Barrett can be considered today's equivalent of Morris Fishbein.

879
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:19,387
Sitting firmly in charge of his publication "Quackwatch" (Watching for Charlatans)

880
01:02:19,387 --> 01:02:25,629
Dr. Barrett debunks any form of therapy that official medicine considers to be fraud or false.

881
01:02:25,629 --> 01:02:27,886
Let's go to Gerson Therapy for example.

882
01:02:27,886 --> 01:02:35,857
Dr. Gerson was a doctor who claimed that he could cure cancer through food and other methods.

883
01:02:35,857 --> 01:02:40,508
There is no scientific evidence of him having cured anyone.

884
01:02:40,508 --> 01:02:45,593
I was investigated five times by the American Medical Association.

885
01:02:45,593 --> 01:02:47,379
Whenever they came,

886
01:02:47,379 --> 01:02:52,934
I showed them "Here is the patient you sent home to die: cured!",

887
01:02:52,934 --> 01:02:57,141
"Another patient they sent home to die: cured!"

888
01:02:57,141 --> 01:03:01,743
"Next patient: sent home to die: cured!"

889
01:03:01,743 --> 01:03:05,148
Gerson Therapy has been known for over 75 years.

890
01:03:05,148 --> 01:03:09,678
If doctors know there is a cure and send patients home to die,

891
01:03:09,678 --> 01:03:16,778
This is an atrocity worse than the Holocaust.

892
01:03:16,778 --> 01:03:23,325
Dr. Hamer Geerd is the founder of the so-called "New German Medicine".

893
01:03:23,325 --> 01:03:28,260
Dr. Hamer believes that any type of cancer is a consequence of profound psychological trauma

894
01:03:28,260 --> 01:03:31,139
that has not been completely resolved by the individual

895
01:03:31,139 --> 01:03:35,830
manifesting itself in a specific form of tumor, for each type of trauma.

896
01:03:35,830 --> 01:03:39,071
Despite broad popular movements in its favor,

897
01:03:39,071 --> 01:03:42,965
despite the support of many other doctors around the world

898
01:03:42,965 --> 01:03:46,947
and despite the scientific evidence presented by Dr. Hamer,

899
01:03:46,947 --> 01:03:51,727
medical institutions have never made a serious assessment of their work

900
01:03:51,727 --> 01:03:55,580
and instead they revoked his license.

901
01:03:55,580 --> 01:04:00,398
Since then, European authorities have continuously harassed Dr. Hamer,

902
01:04:00,398 --> 01:04:02,727
until one day he was arrested in Spain

903
01:04:02,727 --> 01:04:08,074
simply for advising other citizens on curative methods they should follow.

904
01:04:08,074 --> 01:04:13,232
Dr. Hamer spent 19 months in a French prison.

905
01:04:13,232 --> 01:04:16,116
Today Dr. Hamer is a free citizen again

906
01:04:16,116 --> 01:04:20,679
but he cannot practice medicine nor can he promote his theory

907
01:04:20,679 --> 01:04:26,468
which appears to have the potential to help thousands of people around the world.

908
01:04:26,468 --> 01:04:30,597
In the 70s, Dr. Ernst T. Krebs

909
01:04:30,597 --> 01:04:34,790
perfected the so-called Trophoblastic Theory of Cancer,

910
01:04:34,790 --> 01:04:39,607
which was initially promoted by Dr. John Beard over a century ago.

911
01:04:39,607 --> 01:04:44,797
The same theory was developed and published by his father, Dr. Ernst Krebs.

912
01:04:44,797 --> 01:04:47,493
According to Krebs, vitamin B17,

913
01:04:47,493 --> 01:04:51,352
which is found in the seeds of apricots and other similar fruits

914
01:04:51,352 --> 01:04:54,388
It is an effective cure against many types of cancers

915
01:04:54,388 --> 01:04:58,759
and especially in cases of breast, lung, colon and prostate cancer.

916
01:04:58,759 --> 01:05:02,236
Vitamin B17, also known as Laetrile,

917
01:05:02,236 --> 01:05:06,819
It was one of the most popular cancer remedies since the 1950s

918
01:05:06,819 --> 01:05:14,164
and in the last decade it has gained the support of many scientists and oncologists around the world.

919
01:05:14,164 --> 01:05:19,986
In Italy, Dr. Guidetti from the University of Turin carried out a scientific study on Laetrile

920
01:05:19,986 --> 01:05:22,562
which showed very promising results.

921
01:05:22,562 --> 01:05:27,644
Dr. Dean Burk, chief of the cytochemistry section at the National Cancer Institute

922
01:05:27,644 --> 01:05:31,275
reported that in a series of tests carried out on animal tissues,

923
01:05:31,275 --> 01:05:34,416
B17 has no effect on normal cells,

924
01:05:34,416 --> 01:05:39,782
but released so much cyanide and benzaldehyde when it came into contact with cancer cells

925
01:05:39,782 --> 01:05:42,111
none managed to survive.

926
01:05:42,111 --> 01:05:46,498
He said, "When we add Laetrile to a cancer culture under the microscope

927
01:05:46,498 --> 01:05:50,515
we can watch cancer cells die like flies."

928
01:05:50,515 --> 01:05:54,222
And the "Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute" based in New York,

929
01:05:54,222 --> 01:05:59,171
seemed to have known about Laetrile's therapeutic qualities for a long time.

930
01:05:59,171 --> 01:06:03,142
This was confirmed by one of the most famous cancer researchers of the time,

931
01:06:03,142 --> 01:06:08,992
Dr. Kanematsu Sugiura in an interview published in a magazine in 1977.

932
01:06:08,992 --> 01:06:10,738
When the news started to spread

933
01:06:10,738 --> 01:06:14,281
Sloan-Kettering pressured Dr. Sugiura to refute his statements

934
01:06:14,281 --> 01:06:15,992
but he refused to do so

935
01:06:15,992 --> 01:06:24,257
forcing Sloan-Kettering to officially deny Laetrile's anti-cancer qualities.

936
01:06:24,257 --> 01:06:28,075
Sloan-Kettering was later accused of falsifying the research

937
01:06:28,075 --> 01:06:32,542
on which they based their negative statements about Laetrile.

938
01:06:32,542 --> 01:06:40,062
And this was not the only case in the great war financed by the medical industry in the 70s against Laetrile.

939
01:06:40,062 --> 01:06:47,162
Dr. John Richardson, now deceased, had a very prosperous cancer clinic

940
01:06:47,162 --> 01:06:53,776
in the city of San Francisco in the 70s when he met Dr. Ernst T. Krebs Jr..

941
01:06:53,776 --> 01:06:59,008
They held many conferences together, were familiar with the science behind Laetrile

942
01:06:59,008 --> 01:07:02,923
and they began to use it prudently in the clinic.

943
01:07:02,923 --> 01:07:06,220
He lost most of the patients he treated for cancer.

944
01:07:06,220 --> 01:07:11,964
He went from there to a great success rate, almost overnight, using this substance.

945
01:07:11,964 --> 01:07:15,408
And so he was very excited, the news spread,

946
01:07:15,408 --> 01:07:18,708
and obviously his patients were very happy, and of course, they told their friends.

947
01:07:18,708 --> 01:07:22,840
It wasn't long until people started arriving from all over the United States

948
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:27,875
and in some cases even from Europe, to be treated at the Richardson Clinic.

949
01:07:27,875 --> 01:07:31,003
Then he started having problems with the medical authorities.

950
01:07:31,003 --> 01:07:34,156
The hospital administration contacted him

951
01:07:34,156 --> 01:07:36,940
telling him that he should stop using that substance

952
01:07:36,940 --> 01:07:40,136
as it had not been approved by the FDA (INFARMED).

953
01:07:40,136 --> 01:07:43,634
And he said, "Yes, I know it hasn't been approved, but it works!"

954
01:07:43,634 --> 01:07:46,530
And they said, "We don't care if it works or not,

955
01:07:46,530 --> 01:07:52,080
It's not an approved substance so you're breaking the law!"

956
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:56,858
Medical authorities have never recognized the therapeutic use of Laetrile,

957
01:07:56,858 --> 01:08:08,032
and the FDA listed it among toxic substances making it illegal to sell it in the USA.

958
01:08:08,032 --> 01:08:15,020
In 1992, Dr. William Lane published a book entitled "Sharks Don't Get Cancer"

959
01:08:15,020 --> 01:08:20,884
indicating that tumor growth can be inhibited by shark cartilage.

960
01:08:20,884 --> 01:08:24,512
In order to develop beyond a certain size any tumor needs

961
01:08:24,512 --> 01:08:27,180
Build your own capillary system.

962
01:08:27,180 --> 01:08:32,713
The creation of new blood vessels is called angiogenesis.

963
01:08:32,713 --> 01:08:37,421
Shark cartilage has a specific anti-angiogenic characteristic

964
01:08:37,421 --> 01:08:41,362
which prevents the development of the tumor, literally suffocating it,

965
01:08:41,362 --> 01:08:45,961
by not allowing the new hair system to develop.

966
01:08:45,961 --> 01:08:51,294
The anti-angiogenic characteristic of shark cartilage is well known in official medicine

967
01:08:51,294 --> 01:08:56,202
and is confirmed by several different scientific studies.

968
01:08:56,202 --> 01:09:01,118
But shark cartilage, for some reason, is not suggested as a cure for cancer.

969
01:09:01,118 --> 01:09:09,142
while pharmaceutical companies secretly compete to produce a similar compound in the laboratory...

970
01:09:09,142 --> 01:09:16,062
or to extract a specific compound from cartilage that can be patented and commercially exploited.

971
01:09:16,062 --> 01:09:20,711
They are interested in discovering something, perhaps something found in nature,

972
01:09:20,711 --> 01:09:25,433
where they can discover a sub-component that they can extract

973
01:09:25,433 --> 01:09:28,081
and then turn it into a man-made chemical

974
01:09:28,081 --> 01:09:30,192
that has the same effect and that can then be patented.

975
01:09:30,192 --> 01:09:33,872
So they are interested, but not if it comes directly from nature.

976
01:09:33,872 --> 01:09:36,409
Mistletoe

977
01:09:37,207 --> 01:09:41,530
Another well-known cancer remedy, especially popular in Europe,

978
01:09:41,530 --> 01:09:48,131
It is Mistletoe, a semi-parasitic plant found on oaks and other similar trees.

979
01:09:48,131 --> 01:09:50,983
Mistletoe is used to produce several medicines

980
01:09:50,983 --> 01:09:56,016
such as Iscador, whose anti-cancer effectiveness has been known for many years.

981
01:09:56,016 --> 01:09:58,892
I think it deserves some merit as it's nothing new

982
01:09:58,892 --> 01:10:01,599
It is not a fad, it has been known for a long time,

983
01:10:01,599 --> 01:10:04,222
It has been used for over 70-80 years.

984
01:10:04,222 --> 01:10:09,913
The Austrian scientist and philosopher Rudolf Steiner, founder of anthropological medicine,

985
01:10:09,913 --> 01:10:15,293
suggested the use of mistletoe against cancer almost a hundred years ago.

986
01:10:15,293 --> 01:10:19,002
This plant has been considered sacred since the time of the Celts.

987
01:10:19,002 --> 01:10:22,859
who adored it and used it as a universal medicine.

988
01:10:22,859 --> 01:10:27,757
In a cancer patient, mistletoe causes an immediate increase in macrophages

989
01:10:27,757 --> 01:10:31,194
followed normally by a regression of the disease.

990
01:10:31,194 --> 01:10:34,165
We know that it has immune system stimulating properties

991
01:10:34,165 --> 01:10:36,696
for example if we measure cytokines

992
01:10:36,696 --> 01:10:39,552
we see that their number increases if we use mistletoe.

993
01:10:39,552 --> 01:10:43,453
There are compounds in mistletoe that are cytotoxic

994
01:10:43,453 --> 01:10:47,282
which means they can kill cancer cells or put them to sleep.

995
01:10:47,282 --> 01:10:52,819
At Steiner Clinics, Mistletoe is used as part of a comprehensive anti-cancer program

996
01:10:52,819 --> 01:10:59,323
which includes all emotional, psychological and spiritual aspects of the individual.

997
01:10:59,323 --> 01:11:02,317
In the USA, mistletoe is almost unknown

998
01:11:02,317 --> 01:11:08,466
but the task of denying its curative qualities was taken up in this case by the British health system

999
01:11:08,466 --> 01:11:12,272
who appealed to the well-known excuse of lack of evidence.

1000
01:11:12,272 --> 01:11:20,516
The Primary Care Trust reviewed the evidence relating to mistletoe for use in breast cancer and found

1001
01:11:20,516 --> 01:11:22,858
- and I'm one of the people who examined the evidence -

1002
01:11:22,858 --> 01:11:25,938
we discovered that there is no convincing favorable evidence.

1003
01:11:25,938 --> 01:11:33,037
Recently, American writer and actress Suzanne Somers announced that she defeated cancer using mistletoe.

1004
01:11:33,037 --> 01:11:39,891
Speaking of cancer, in 2001 you announced on this program that you were fighting cancer.

1005
01:11:39,891 --> 01:11:43,496
Most people would go to a doctor and receive chemo, but you chose a different path.

1006
01:11:43,496 --> 01:11:44,942
How do you feel now?

1007
01:11:44,942 --> 01:11:49,539
Well. I've just been testing my "killer cells", naturally...

1008
01:11:49,539 --> 01:11:53,420
that is our immune system, and I have been taking Iscador for about eight years.

1009
01:11:53,420 --> 01:11:55,861
So, I don't usually get a cold, nothing...

1010
01:11:55,861 --> 01:12:00,063
- Do you have cancer?
- I no longer have cancer.

1011
01:12:00,063 --> 01:12:05,633
The list of historical cases with the potential to cure cancer and that have fallen into oblivion

1012
01:12:05,633 --> 01:12:09,505
I could go on, literally for hours.

1013
01:12:09,505 --> 01:12:13,538
From the vitamin C cure by Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling,

1014
01:12:13,538 --> 01:12:16,473
to Dr. Ivy's infamous Krebiozen,

1015
01:12:16,473 --> 01:12:20,521
to molecular healing under Dr. Rife's microscope,

1016
01:12:20,521 --> 01:12:22,520
to Dr. Coley Toxins,

1017
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:25,095
the course of events was always the same:

1018
01:12:25,095 --> 01:12:28,892
doctors were ostracized, discredited or persecuted,

1019
01:12:28,892 --> 01:12:35,602
without their therapies ever being considered for serious scientific evaluation.

1020
01:12:35,602 --> 01:12:40,520
The last person to propose a natural cure for cancer

1021
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,509
 � Tullio Simoncini, an Italian oncologist

1022
01:12:43,509 --> 01:12:45,810
who was in the middle of a storm,

1023
01:12:45,810 --> 01:12:49,288
after declaring that the origin of cancer is not genetic,

1024
01:12:49,288 --> 01:12:54,371
but it is due to the aggression of a fungus called Candida Albicans.

1025
01:12:54,371 --> 01:12:59,419
Based on this hypothesis, Dr. Simoncini treats cancer with sodium bicarbonate,

1026
01:12:59,419 --> 01:13:03,158
which is one of the most powerful enemies of fungi found in nature.

1027
01:13:03,158 --> 01:13:04,910
How does the fungus enter the body?

1028
01:13:04,910 --> 01:13:07,431
How do you think it all starts, after years of research?

1029
01:13:07,431 --> 01:13:11,684
It is an endemic, a major epidemic pollution

1030
01:13:11,684 --> 01:13:14,949
since the fungus is underestimated.

1031
01:13:14,949 --> 01:13:20,353
It is underestimated because it is not understood.

1032
01:13:20,353 --> 01:13:27,035
From the beginning of his studies, Dr. Simoncini felt the need to reconsider the cancer paradigm from scratch

1033
01:13:27,035 --> 01:13:30,699
and began looking for a different origin of the disease.

1034
01:13:30,699 --> 01:13:35,371
What surprised him most was the fact that all tumors behave in a similar way

1035
01:13:35,371 --> 01:13:39,193
even if they appear to be completely different from each other.

1036
01:13:39,193 --> 01:13:43,599
Then he started looking for a common denominator and finally found one.

1037
01:13:43,599 --> 01:13:47,038
Most cancers are white.

1038
01:13:47,038 --> 01:13:52,595
These tumor specimens show the devastating impact the disease can have on the body.

1039
01:13:52,595 --> 01:13:55,538
This is a liver affected by cancer.

1040
01:13:55,538 --> 01:13:57,798
White blisters are all tumors.

1041
01:13:57,798 --> 01:14:04,172
If it enters the body and reaches an organ affected by cancer

1042
01:14:04,172 --> 01:14:08,597
You can see that the nodules are always white.

1043
01:14:08,597 --> 01:14:14,783
Sometimes they are covered with blood or with different reactions

1044
01:14:14,783 --> 01:14:24,962
but in each post-mortem examination scientists discover white nodules, the white masses that are fungi.

1045
01:14:24,962 --> 01:14:27,195
This is the pleura.

1046
01:14:27,195 --> 01:14:32,012
We went in with the camera and look, the pleura must have been red

1047
01:14:32,012 --> 01:14:36,130
but as you can see, all the nodules, all the cancer, are white.

1048
01:14:36,130 --> 01:14:38,885
Here's the heart beating... this is bronchial cancer

1049
01:14:38,885 --> 01:14:43,203
see, we enter the bronchus and everything is white.

1050
01:14:43,203 --> 01:14:45,143
And here, in colon cancer.

1051
01:14:45,143 --> 01:14:48,174
Here it is red because there is a little blood.

1052
01:14:48,174 --> 01:14:53,784
I washed it and now look, it's always white.

1053
01:14:53,784 --> 01:14:56,420
White like Candida.

1054
01:14:56,420 --> 01:15:01,733
Candida Albicans in Latin means "bright white".

1055
01:15:01,733 --> 01:15:07,646
It is necessary to clarify that the presence of fungi in tumors is nothing new in the world of medicine.

1056
01:15:07,646 --> 01:15:10,526
All scientists discover in the world of oncology

1057
01:15:10,526 --> 01:15:16,571
that all cancer patients who die are always full of fungi,

1058
01:15:16,571 --> 01:15:23,940
but no one asks because this is the only microorganism present in cancer patients.

1059
01:15:23,940 --> 01:15:29,599
Official Oncology, however, believes that its presence in tumors is due to its opportunistic nature,

1060
01:15:29,599 --> 01:15:34,682
which leads them to establish colonies whenever they discover a suitable environment.

1061
01:15:34,682 --> 01:15:40,808
This belief appears to be contradicted by a careful observation of the animal kingdom.

1062
01:15:40,808 --> 01:15:44,185
The spores of a parasitic fungus called "Cordyceps"

1063
01:15:44,185 --> 01:15:50,756
infiltrated this ant's body and mind.

1064
01:15:50,756 --> 01:15:53,149
As soon as she is discovered by the other workers

1065
01:15:53,149 --> 01:16:00,025
the ant is taken away from the colony and abandoned.

1066
01:16:00,025 --> 01:16:04,466
It seems like an extreme measure but this is the reason for it.

1067
01:16:07,523 --> 01:16:15,064
After a while the growing body of the cordycep erupts from the ant's head.

1068
01:16:20,498 --> 01:16:22,719
It may take three weeks to grow

1069
01:16:22,719 --> 01:16:29,384
and finally when the deadly spores are expelled from the top

1070
01:16:29,384 --> 01:16:34,603
then all ants in the immediate vicinity would be at serious risk of death.

1071
01:16:34,603 --> 01:16:39,335
The fungus is so virulent that it can exterminate entire ant colonies.

1072
01:16:39,335 --> 01:16:47,248
And it's not just the ants that fall victim to this killer.

1073
01:16:47,248 --> 01:16:50,569
In this case, it is the fungus that causes the death of the ant.

1074
01:16:50,569 --> 01:16:56,470
and it is not the death of the ant that invites the presence of the fungus.

1075
01:16:56,470 --> 01:16:59,345
What normally appears to be just a simple opportunist

1076
01:16:59,345 --> 01:17:03,278
It is in fact a fully developed killer.

1077
01:17:03,278 --> 01:17:05,013
Then the question arises:

1078
01:17:05,013 --> 01:17:07,889
Who appears first?

1079
01:17:07,889 --> 01:17:10,473
What if Candida weakens the body first?

1080
01:17:10,473 --> 01:17:13,060
and we only see it when it is already spread everywhere?

1081
01:17:13,060 --> 01:17:15,521
How do we know it's just a consequence?

1082
01:17:15,521 --> 01:17:18,068
The fact is that it is there, that is a fact.

1083
01:17:18,068 --> 01:17:21,520
If it is just a consequence, that is an interpretation.

1084
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:24,265
Not all infections are bacterial.

1085
01:17:24,265 --> 01:17:26,030
There are also fungi.

1086
01:17:26,030 --> 01:17:28,437
Viruses are smaller...

1087
01:17:28,437 --> 01:17:31,378
Fungi are bigger...

1088
01:17:31,378 --> 01:17:36,684
And fungi are the link between microorganisms and animals.

1089
01:17:36,684 --> 01:17:41,253
Thus, they can penetrate the body like microorganisms

1090
01:17:41,253 --> 01:17:45,018
and when they enter, they can join together

1091
01:17:45,018 --> 01:17:51,637
and they manage to build a large mass that has the power of an animal.

1092
01:17:51,637 --> 01:17:55,624
Candida is a very familiar fungus known especially to women

1093
01:17:55,624 --> 01:17:59,571
who sometimes experience an infection in their reproductive organs.

1094
01:17:59,571 --> 01:18:04,309
The vagina is the muscular canal that connects the uterus to the outside of the body.

1095
01:18:04,309 --> 01:18:06,335
The heat and humidity of that canal

1096
01:18:06,335 --> 01:18:10,546
create the perfect environment for the multiplication of these microorganisms.

1097
01:18:10,546 --> 01:18:16,465
For example, bacteria called lactobacillus that are naturally present in the vagina

1098
01:18:16,465 --> 01:18:21,911
coexist with the fungus called Candida Albicans.

1099
01:18:21,911 --> 01:18:28,835
Normally Lactobacillus creates an acidic environment that keeps the natural fungal population in balance.

1100
01:18:28,835 --> 01:18:37,123
However, when conditions in the vagina change and the number of lactobacilli decreases or acidity decreases

1101
01:18:37,123 --> 01:18:41,182
then these fungi begin to multiply.

1102
01:18:41,182 --> 01:18:45,000
Normally the immune system keeps the fungus under control

1103
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:49,538
and does not allow them to establish colonies in the body.

1104
01:18:49,538 --> 01:18:59,006
This white blood cell sees a fungus in the bloodstream, attacks it and destroys it.

1105
01:18:59,006 --> 01:19:02,875
If the defense system instead becomes weaker than usual

1106
01:19:02,875 --> 01:19:09,222
Candida can aggregate into small colonies practically throughout the body.

1107
01:19:09,222 --> 01:19:22,694
When the fungus penetrates the connective tissue, it causes an immuno-cellular reaction that results in the formation of the tumor.

1108
01:19:22,694 --> 01:19:33,158
I think the tumor is the end result of the fungal invasion and the cellular reaction initiated by the organism.

1109
01:19:33,158 --> 01:19:37,027
Far from being a wild and uncontrolled cell multiplication

1110
01:19:37,027 --> 01:19:42,747
According to Simoncini, tumor growth is the body's lucid and desperate reaction

1111
01:19:42,747 --> 01:19:46,183
in an extreme attempt to reject the intruder.

1112
01:19:46,183 --> 01:19:51,388
Likewise, Dr. Simoncini believes that metastasis is not cancer cells

1113
01:19:51,388 --> 01:19:55,082
who abandon the primary tumor to start a new one elsewhere

1114
01:19:55,082 --> 01:19:59,186
but small groups of fungi belonging to the main tumor

1115
01:19:59,186 --> 01:20:05,184
that enter the bloodstream during biopsies or during usual surgical operations.

1116
01:20:05,184 --> 01:20:08,145
These escaped fungi establish themselves in a new environment

1117
01:20:08,145 --> 01:20:13,665
and prepare to take advantage of a weakened body and thus establish their new colony.

1118
01:20:13,665 --> 01:20:18,437
Once this propagation begins, it becomes necessary to restore the immune system

1119
01:20:18,437 --> 01:20:22,006
It's your maximum power as quickly as possible.

1120
01:20:22,006 --> 01:20:24,659
If the patient receives chemotherapy instead

1121
01:20:24,659 --> 01:20:28,601
This only accelerates the destruction of your natural defenses

1122
01:20:28,601 --> 01:20:33,497
because the drug kills cancerous and healthy cells indiscriminately.

1123
01:20:33,497 --> 01:20:36,845
Although it is possible to extend life for a few months

1124
01:20:36,845 --> 01:20:42,173
chemotherapy makes it impossible for the body to recover its defense capabilities

1125
01:20:42,173 --> 01:20:47,903
forcing it to give in sooner or later in the face of multiple fungal attacks.

1126
01:20:47,903 --> 01:20:53,825
To test his theory, Dr. Simoncini began treating cancer with sodium bicarbonate.

1127
01:20:53,825 --> 01:21:00,113
Sodium bicarbonate is the strongest antifungal substance.

1128
01:21:00,113 --> 01:21:06,568
Fungi cannot adapt to this assault because it is not a complex substance.

1129
01:21:06,568 --> 01:21:14,277
This is why current antifungal medications are ineffective

1130
01:21:14,277 --> 01:21:20,659
because fungi can adapt in 3 or 4 days.

1131
01:21:20,659 --> 01:21:26,094
For fungi, they give an antifungal medicine that kills the first layer

1132
01:21:26,094 --> 01:21:34,090
but the second layer becomes immune and feeds on the medicine, chemotherapy, anything.

1133
01:21:34,090 --> 01:21:40,576
Sangermano Gennaro is the first patient cured by Dr. Simoncini with sodium bicarbonate.

1134
01:21:40,576 --> 01:21:43,916
In 1983 he was diagnosed with lung cancer

1135
01:21:43,916 --> 01:21:48,006
and they gave him a life expectancy of 6 or 7 months to live.

1136
01:21:48,006 --> 01:21:53,714
In 2006, 23 years later, he gave this interview.

1137
01:21:53,714 --> 01:22:02,102
- Goodnight. My name is Massimo. It seems like I'm talking to a very lucky man, doesn't it?

1138
01:22:02,102 --> 01:22:08,893
- Actually, yes, extremely fortunate. Thank God and Dr. Simoncini.

1139
01:22:08,893 --> 01:22:12,108
I was lucky because they told me I would have to be hospitalized again

1140
01:22:12,108 --> 01:22:16,705
because the last analysis revealed that a dark mass was growing.

1141
01:22:16,705 --> 01:22:22,357
He suggested that I try this therapy and thank God I accepted.

1142
01:22:22,357 --> 01:22:25,825
- I heard it took nine months to heal, right?

1143
01:22:25,825 --> 01:22:27,592
- Yes, it took 8 or 9 months.

1144
01:22:27,592 --> 01:22:29,643
- But the tumor has completely disappeared?

1145
01:22:29,643 --> 01:22:34,285
- Yes, thank God they confirmed that he disappeared.

1146
01:22:34,285 --> 01:22:36,315
It seems unbelievable, but I was lucky.

1147
01:22:36,315 --> 01:22:38,777
- Well, after all you are here.

1148
01:22:38,777 --> 01:22:42,493
- They told me I had 6 or 7 months to live.

1149
01:22:42,493 --> 01:22:47,383
- Did you follow any other therapy besides that of Dr. Simoncini? Are you sure that's what cured him?

1150
01:22:47,383 --> 01:22:51,839
- Yes yes! I followed Dr.Simoncini's therapy and nothing else.

1151
01:22:51,839 --> 01:22:56,157
Now, maybe, when I have a cold or something else, I go to another doctor...

1152
01:22:56,157 --> 01:22:57,578
- Obviously, this is normal.

1153
01:22:57,578 --> 01:23:00,872
-... now, that cure was his alone...

1154
01:23:00,872 --> 01:23:06,835
- Did you do anything else at the same time?
- No, no.

1155
01:23:06,835 --> 01:23:08,818
After a few successful treatments

1156
01:23:08,818 --> 01:23:13,586
Dr. Simoncini presented his documentation to the Italian Department of Health

1157
01:23:13,586 --> 01:23:19,039
in the hope that his theory would be tested according to appropriate scientific protocols.

1158
01:23:19,039 --> 01:23:21,720
Not only were his discoveries completely ignored

1159
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:26,495
but Dr. Simoncini ended up being expelled from the Italian Medical Association

1160
01:23:26,495 --> 01:23:31,663
for having prescribed cures that had not been approved by the authorities.

1161
01:23:31,663 --> 01:23:35,904
This is very unfortunate because already the ancient book of Hindu Medicine

1162
01:23:35,904 --> 01:23:40,665
prescribed sodium bicarbonate in the treatment of cancer:

1163
01:23:40,665 --> 01:23:48,780
"Strong alkaline substances should be used in diseases such as anila, slug, meda, cancer

1164
01:23:48,780 --> 01:23:52,470
and others that are very difficult to cure."

1165
01:23:52,470 --> 01:23:56,075
This book is over a thousand years old.

1166
01:23:56,075 --> 01:23:59,082
As soon as news of his treatment began to circulate

1167
01:23:59,082 --> 01:24:03,338
Dr. Simoncini became the target of a major smear campaign

1168
01:24:03,338 --> 01:24:08,227
orchestra by the Italian media and was treated as a charlatan and a swindler.

1169
01:24:08,227 --> 01:24:15,753
Today we're going to talk to an individual who claims to cure tumors with bicarbonate. Stay with us!

1170
01:24:15,753 --> 01:24:19,493
Good evening, Jimmy Ghione, from "Striscia la Notizia". How are you?

1171
01:24:19,493 --> 01:24:21,680
What's this bicarbonate thing?

1172
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:24,693
How can we cure tumors with yeast?

1173
01:24:24,693 --> 01:24:28,419
Can you tell us something about this story?

1174
01:24:28,419 --> 01:24:30,795
Is yeast enough to cure tumors?

1175
01:24:30,795 --> 01:24:34,108
- Wait, I'll be right back!

1176
01:24:34,108 --> 01:24:36,143
- Why do you act like that?

1177
01:24:36,143 --> 01:24:40,287
Dr. Simoncini was also repeatedly prosecuted for negligent homicide

1178
01:24:40,287 --> 01:24:43,202
and in one case was sentenced to three years in prison

1179
01:24:43,202 --> 01:24:47,660
for allegedly causing the death of patients who were undergoing treatment.

1180
01:24:47,660 --> 01:24:49,968
The media heavily covered the trials

1181
01:24:49,968 --> 01:24:53,866
dealing the final blow to Dr. Simoncini's credibility.

1182
01:24:53,866 --> 01:24:56,540
Professor Francesco Cognetti, scientific director...

1183
01:24:56,540 --> 01:24:59,181
from the National Tumor Institute of Regina Elena, in Rome.

1184
01:24:59,181 --> 01:25:01,707
One of the most important Italian oncologists.

1185
01:25:01,707 --> 01:25:06,890
When we talk about medicine and innovative treatments, we have to be careful.

1186
01:25:06,890 --> 01:25:09,360
Says this guy, this Simoncini...

1187
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:13,449
that cancer is a fungus, and can be cured with baking soda.

1188
01:25:13,449 --> 01:25:16,609
What is the first reaction of a great doctor?

1189
01:25:16,609 --> 01:25:20,563
It's a bizarre idea, to say the least.

1190
01:25:20,563 --> 01:25:25,752
I would say it's crazy. There is no evidence of correlation...

1191
01:25:25,752 --> 01:25:28,827
between fungal infection and cancer.

1192
01:25:28,827 --> 01:25:33,888
Nor is there evidence that fungi are the only cause of cancer,...

1193
01:25:33,888 --> 01:25:37,072
...as stated by Dr.Simoncini.

1194
01:25:37,072 --> 01:25:42,298
Can we say with absolute certainty that bicarbonate is completely useless against tumors?

1195
01:25:42,298 --> 01:25:46,707
- Absolutely useless. It could even be dangerous

1196
01:25:46,707 --> 01:25:54,145
because if administered in high doses it can cause major metabolic imbalances,

1197
01:25:54,145 --> 01:25:58,980
which can even compromise kidney function, respiratory function,

1198
01:25:58,980 --> 01:26:02,116
heart and brain function.

1199
01:26:02,116 --> 01:26:09,361
This medication, if administered in high doses, can even cause death.

1200
01:26:09,361 --> 01:26:13,678
The paradox is that Tullio Simoncini is not an alternative doctor

1201
01:26:13,678 --> 01:26:16,072
not even in any way against the system

1202
01:26:16,072 --> 01:26:20,020
but he is possibly the most allopathic and orthodox doctor of all.

1203
01:26:20,020 --> 01:26:23,300
The way to get rid of the fungus, both internally and externally

1204
01:26:23,300 --> 01:26:25,641
and also to get rid of the tumor

1205
01:26:25,641 --> 01:26:29,776
Intervene with sequential antifungal medications, in a cascade.

1206
01:26:29,776 --> 01:26:32,095
The concept already exists in chemotherapy

1207
01:26:32,095 --> 01:26:36,997
sequential, cyclical therapies.

1208
01:26:36,997 --> 01:26:43,456
The idea is to develop antifungal drugs that are initially effective

1209
01:26:43,456 --> 01:26:47,475
and subsequently as the fungus changes, also change the medications accordingly.

1210
01:26:47,475 --> 01:26:49,822
This way we can pursue it in all its mutations.

1211
01:26:49,822 --> 01:26:52,823
But this requires the intervention of pharmaceutical companies

1212
01:26:52,823 --> 01:26:57,509
who now cannot see the great potential of this business.

1213
01:26:57,509 --> 01:27:06,386
Now they only see the danger of chemotherapy drugs becoming useless

1214
01:27:06,386 --> 01:27:11,327
and therefore they declare war on any individual who stands in their way.

1215
01:27:11,327 --> 01:27:18,201
However, he perfected special techniques that allow the delivery of sodium bicarbonate to the vicinity of the tumor

1216
01:27:18,201 --> 01:27:24,091
in order to obtain maximum efficiency with a minimum amount of sodium bicarbonate.

1217
01:27:24,091 --> 01:27:33,701
Baking soda is effective if you can get it into contact with the cancer.

1218
01:27:33,701 --> 01:27:39,426
So, if you want to target prostate cancer you must place the catheter

1219
01:27:39,426 --> 01:27:45,211
before the inferior vesical artery that supplies the prostate.

1220
01:27:45,211 --> 01:27:58,280
Then, you can administer sodium bicarbonate through the catheter directly into the prostate and kill the fungi

1221
01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:09,262
because the sodium concentration is very high, because you use the artery that directly feeds the organ.

1222
01:28:09,262 --> 01:28:13,331
On the other hand, for the cavities - pleural, peritoneal -

1223
01:28:13,331 --> 01:28:21,037
the catheter needs to be inserted trans-peritoneal or trans-pleural.

1224
01:28:21,037 --> 01:28:25,271
Although it is considered only anecdotal material and not scientific evidence

1225
01:28:25,271 --> 01:28:30,344
there are now dozens of documented testimonies appearing on Dr. Simoncini's website

1226
01:28:30,344 --> 01:28:34,354
which appear to support the validity of his innovative approach to cancer.

1227
01:28:34,354 --> 01:28:39,388
This therapy you talk about, sodium bicarbonate delivered directly to the tumor site,

1228
01:28:39,388 --> 01:28:41,729
I wonder where is the damage it can cause?

1229
01:28:41,729 --> 01:28:46,433
It seems to be a very harmless therapy, it is not a dangerous and potent medicine.

1230
01:28:46,433 --> 01:28:54,465
No, it is not dangerous, because... there is a remote possibility of infection

1231
01:28:54,465 --> 01:28:58,962
but on the other side is life...

1232
01:28:58,962 --> 01:29:06,245
And there are several types of cancer, such as breast cancer, that do not require a catheter.

1233
01:29:06,245 --> 01:29:08,165
Bladder cancer, brain cancer...

1234
01:29:08,165 --> 01:29:15,977
Breast and bladder cancer can be cured with sodium bicarbonate in a percentage of 99%

1235
01:29:15,977 --> 01:29:19,553
no surgery, no chemotherapy, no radiotherapy.

1236
01:29:19,553 --> 01:29:21,905
Leaving the body intact!

1237
01:29:21,905 --> 01:29:26,287
Dr. Simoncini believes that skin cancer is also caused by a fungus

1238
01:29:26,287 --> 01:29:29,603
and treats them with tincture of common iodine.

1239
01:29:29,603 --> 01:29:35,104
In some cases, patients reported that even the most aggressive melanomas succumbed within a few weeks

1240
01:29:35,104 --> 01:29:37,339
with simple scales.

1241
01:29:37,339 --> 01:29:40,136
- And the cancer disappeared?
- Completely disappeared.

1242
01:29:40,136 --> 01:29:45,704
For the first time, I feel like I got my life back.

1243
01:29:45,704 --> 01:29:50,442
However, not all cancer can be treated with the same effectiveness.

1244
01:29:50,442 --> 01:29:54,303
Bone cancer, for example, receives almost no blood

1245
01:29:54,303 --> 01:29:58,601
which is why it is very difficult to achieve this with the appropriate amount of sodium bicarbonate.

1246
01:29:58,601 --> 01:30:02,471
In some cases, different techniques may be applied.

1247
01:30:02,471 --> 01:30:08,625
The last testimony is from someone who found himself on both sides of the barrier

1248
01:30:08,625 --> 01:30:10,304
a doctor who had cancer.

1249
01:30:10,304 --> 01:30:12,740
My name is Carmelo Lombardo.

1250
01:30:12,740 --> 01:30:15,405
- What is your occupation?
- I'm a doctor.

1251
01:30:15,405 --> 01:30:18,480
After removal of a primary gallbladder tumor

1252
01:30:18,480 --> 01:30:22,371
Dr. Lombardo discovered that he had some metastases in the liver.

1253
01:30:22,371 --> 01:30:29,114
Shortly before having liver surgery I learned that I had also developed metastases in both lungs.

1254
01:30:29,114 --> 01:30:31,083
At that point I said "it's over".

1255
01:30:31,083 --> 01:30:33,816
At the time of the operation I didn't tell my family

1256
01:30:33,816 --> 01:30:37,966
but I thought I had a year and a half to live, maybe two.

1257
01:30:37,966 --> 01:30:42,470
When he returned home, Dr. Lombardo found Dr. Simoncini's therapy

1258
01:30:42,470 --> 01:30:46,061
and began using the catheters that had been prepared for chemotherapy

1259
01:30:46,061 --> 01:30:49,389
introducing instead a bicarbonate solution.

1260
01:30:49,389 --> 01:30:53,652
So you already had the port ready for chemotherapy and instead you used it to introduce the bicarbonate?

1261
01:30:53,652 --> 01:30:57,252
- Yes, to introduce bicarbonate.
- Where was the door exactly?

1262
01:30:57,252 --> 01:30:59,893
The port was located on the second rib.

1263
01:30:59,893 --> 01:31:06,784
More precisely in the superior vena cava, the internal carotid artery.

1264
01:31:06,784 --> 01:31:09,344
After a few cycles of baking soda

1265
01:31:09,344 --> 01:31:14,160
A CT scan revealed that both tumors were gone from his lungs.

1266
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:19,296
An examination with and without contrast substance showed that there were no lesions,

1267
01:31:19,296 --> 01:31:22,562
neither primary nor secondary.

1268
01:31:22,562 --> 01:31:25,991
Do you have any message for your fellow doctors?

1269
01:31:25,991 --> 01:31:28,322
Of course I do.

1270
01:31:28,322 --> 01:31:32,921
As I often say, the truth is sometimes right in front of your nose.

1271
01:31:32,921 --> 01:31:37,070
It's so close that we can't focus on it.

1272
01:31:37,070 --> 01:31:40,511
And one more thing.

1273
01:31:40,511 --> 01:31:43,371
There is no ONE TRUTH.

1274
01:31:43,371 --> 01:31:48,912
Truth is not something you can believe is only in your possession.

1275
01:31:48,912 --> 01:31:51,187
The truth is the search.

1276
01:31:51,187 --> 01:31:53,410
The truth can only be found...

1277
01:31:53,410 --> 01:31:57,210
expanding the limits of our horizon

1278
01:31:57,210 --> 01:32:01,011
expanding our way of thinking.
