 children, had a steady job, and was taking
evening classes in psychology.”
It is hard to deny that Phillip’s sanity depended to a huge extent
on projections from the mind s of others. The supercial “love” and
“caring” in the mental ward kept him imprisoned in a false self
because these feelings were equally false. Behind them lurked the
real message: “love” was just a means to keep him under control—it
was a power ploy.
Fortunately, in Laing the boy found someone who looked upon
him in the light of love. To me, that is the most touching part of the
story. Laing does not raise the issue of love. He puts his motives on
a simple human basis: “I felt very sorry for his plight and very much
wanted to help him, if possi ble.” Yet in Laing’s presence, a rapport
was established  that was an honest reection of one awareness with
another. The intensity of life, so clear, sane, and loving, radiated
from Laing and touched the boy. That seems to be the most natural
part of what happened between the two, and what should happen
between all of us. One true self speaks to another, using the
language of the heart, and in that bond a person is healed.
Safe to Love
If the rishis are right, the end of the false self spells the end of
fear, and the desperate need for power that fearful people cannot
help. Power is a form of self-protection, and when fear is gone, there
is no need for protection. The true self is love, and being able to love
all the time is the most one could want. The clash between love and
power then has no meaning. As Tagore so decisively wrote, “Love is
not a mere impulse; it must contain truth, which is law.” I deeplybelieve that, because I have met people who suddenly found
themselves living under this law.
“I was driving down the highway looking for the exit onto the
turnpike when  I noticed an unusual sensation in my chest. It began
as a warm or tingling feeling, which I recognized from meditating.
Generally the feeling is pleasant but temporary. Now it began to
intensify, and instead of physical warmth, wave after wave of
emotion started to sweep over me.”
Chris’s eyes shone as he talked on: “It was love, but much purer
and more concentrated love than I had ever felt. I have read in
various scriptures about the heart opening like a ower—one never
thinks such things are going  to happen in real life, on a six-lane
road. But this was it: my heart was unfolding like a ower, almost
drowning me in the exquisit e sensation of love. Strangely, I could
still keep my attention on the road, but I decided to pull o. I
walked into a hamburger stand and just stood there lookin g down at
the salad bar, having the most wonderful experience of my life.”
I still see my friend Chris every once in a while. He has worked as
a bank manager and a community organizer; he is a hardheaded
sort, not the man you would pick to have his heart unfold like a
ower. But that is wrong of me. His voice sounds kind in an
unforced way, and he has a very accepting manner with people; it is
easy to believe that he has experienced his heart very deeply.
Seventeen years ago, when Chris began meditating, he had a
conventional, though deep-felt regard for relationships. “I was just
testing the water as a comm unity organizer then, trying to bring
together people who would normally take no notice of each other.
All around me I saw so much hatred that had no real basis—people
simply had never crossed color barriers or social lines to meet each
other.
“I helped organize a large food cooperative in a poor
neighborhood; anyone could join, regardless of class or income. We
would purchase food and sell it at cost, but each member had to put
in some time, usually about an hour a week, to go to the wholesale
market at Faneuil Hall or sweep the oor at the co-op or something.
The idea was that if people helped out, they could not avoid seeingthe results of their actions. The store wouldn’t open if they didn’t
buy the food. It would open late if they didn’t sweep the oor.
Prices would go up if the cash register was shortchanged.
“I had never been more hopeful than the day the co-op  opened,
but a month later I was pract ically in despair. People didn’t seem to
care—they shirked their work, they didn’t sweep the oor, they
stole money from the cash register, and they found it very easy to
live with the consequences of their actions. This experience
convinced me that institutions cannot bring about a fundamental
change in human nature. And yet it seemed unbearable not to do
something.”
As he became more disillusi oned with the social crusade, Chris’s
commitment to meditating deepened. “I desperately wanted to
foster cooperation and love among other people, but it was never
possible to make intimate enough contact with them, not in the long
run. There were always  barriers and personal hangups;
disappointment was inevitable, whatever my ideals said.
“Seeing no way out of this painful dilemma, I let it continue. I
decided to work on myself, since after all I was a crucial part of
every relationship I wanted to improve. Gradually a profound
change came about. I felt less anxiety about situations and warmer
feelings towards people who had been stereotyped in my eyes as
‘bad’ or ‘uncaring.’ As a result, people began to emerge from their
stereotypes. For a long time I found it hard to believe that I was the
focus of this change. But how could I account for the love that
people directed at me, whether I knew them or not?”
At this point Chris was far along into the change of awareness
produced by unconditional love. In conventional psychology, a
person is told that altering his own attitudes is the best way to
improve the behavior of others. Chris now found that he could walk
into a bank and soon everyone in it would be smiling. When he
presided over community meetings, where the clash of opinions was
usually very tense, the atmosphere seemed to be softer, as if
troubled waters were mysteriously stilled.
“I could  not come to terms with this inexplicable pheno menon,”
Chris recalls, “until I radica lly changed my sense of myself. Myworld view had always been centered on individual ego and eort.
The eect you might have on the world depended on doing
something, or at least thinkin g. I wasn’t doing anything, other than
existing. So I had to conclude that what I am was having this eect.”
I asked him to t in his experience on the highway, when he felt
waves of love engulng him. “That experience, I think, brought a
certain part of the whole process to a climax. After believing for so
long that I could not expect or receive love without relating to
another person, suddenly it was all happening inside me. I was
shocked at rst, because it meant that in some way the failings of
other people, their selshnes s and hatred, was somehow centered in
me as well. And yet these experiences were undeniable: as I
changed, everything around me changed.
“In time, I quit wrestling with this thing intellectually. I became
used to it. No longer did I nd myself depending on other people for
my basic sense of loving or being loved. By connecting with myself I
started connecting with others better than I ever had before.
“When it came, the exper ience of my unfolding heart was
overwhelming, but only for about forty-ve minutes. The most
fortunate thing is that the breakthrough lasted. It has been two
years now, and I am still that loving person inside. I don’t  mean that
I always exude  kindness no matter what other people do to me. I
can get angry and criticize others when I think they’re wrong, but
there is no destructiveness in it.”
I was thinking of how hard we try to protect ourselves from being
hurt emotionally, not realizing the intensity of life we have walled
out in the process. It is necessary to defend the heart when it is too
weak and frightened to love, yet at some point all that changed for
Chris. It became possible for him to let love ow when and where it
wanted. He was able to welcome others, without defenses, without
fear, into the expanded space of his own being. Somethi ng he said
particularly sticks with me: “I used to try so hard to love, and now
it’s the one thing I can’t prevent, no matter how hard I try.” He
smiled, and I felt the tender aection of someone who has not torn
down the walls of pain but own over them.OceanofPDF.comPart Three

“Why Aren’t I Real

The day after I rst met Karin, I was driving home when I felt a
sudden urge to hear her voice again.


 love—which is another
way of saying, “May God’ s will be done.” You see every interaction as a
holy encounter. You intend for this and every situation to be one in which
you express your truest, most brilliant, most loving self—and what happens
beyond that, you leave to the intelligence of the universe. You’re not going
to the interview to try to get a job; you’re going there to do your job!
Those five steps might seem as if they are just little things—hardly the
operating princi ples that move the universe. Yet that is exactly what they
are.

ON THE SPIRITUAL  plane, you have  no competitors. There is no competition
for your position, as you are a unique expression of the Mind of God. You
not only have a place in the universe; you have an essential function  in the
universe. Only you can do the job of being you, and the universe itself is
left incomplete without you. It is not arrogant but humble to realize this, as
you place yourse lf in service to the greatest drama there is: the actualization
of your own potential.
Your highest function is simply to be the person you are capabl e of being,
and from that effort—the development of your kindness and positivity, your
vulnerability and availability to life—your calling will emer ge.
As you become who you are meant to be, what you are meant to do will
fall like a path of rose petals before you. You may be thinki ng, “I don’t
know  what my callin g is,” but God does. He knows how your talen ts and
abilities can best fit into His plan for the enlightenment and healing of all
things. What talents you have, He will glorify as you use them  to glorify
Him. And talents you don’t even know that you have, that lie latent within
you, will emer ge as you surrender more deeply to love.
Your calling is what you would  do whether you were paid to do it or not.
Your calling is what you have  to do in order to be happy. Your calling is
what connects you to your deepest self, and to the rest of life around you. If
you have no idea what that would be, simply pray, “Dear God, please use
me,” and awareness of your calling will appear miraculously.
From the time she was a little girl, my daughter was entranced by stories
of historical kings and queens. Constantly she would say to me, “Mommy,
tell me a queen story.” Even when very young, she would read books about
King Henry VIII and his wives,  following me around the hous e telling me
about this or that historical incident. Now she’s a graduate  student in
history. While some have sugg ested to me that finding a job as a history
professor might  not be easy once she graduates, I never worry that she
won’ t be able to make a living as a historian, because history isn’t just a job
to her. History is her calling. She is genuinely excited  about it. Whether she
pursues her love of history as a professor or writer, or shares her knowledge
via some other means, her passion will undoubtedly make her of use to the
world. I have no doubt that in the miraculous universe, she will be
compensated appropriately for the work she does.I’m always sad to hear parents  saying to their child, “But how will you
make a living doing that?” when their child is obviously passionate about
something. Reading the biography of Steve Jobs, anyone can see that this
kid with a love of computers, working away in his parents’  garage, wasn’ t
thinking just about how he would get a job. He was responding to a higher
calling—a calling for the ages, as it turned out—and no one doubts the
abundance that he created. Not all of us have the talent of a computer
genius, but all of us have a call to greatness nonetheless.
The true you, your holy self, is beyond any limits of the mortal  world. So
are the talents and brilliance within you. When you dwell in that
knowledge, simply recognizing and appreciating the divine spirit residing in
all of us, you receive the charisma of a self-confident person.
Someone who has confidence in God comes across as confident to the
world; someone who thinks of him- or herself as a follower of God comes
across as a leader to the world.  You’ll develop a kind of invisible light, a
sense of humble certitude, a greatness that comes from beyond yourself.
Your abilities, your intelligence, your talents, your personality, your
circumstances, your dreams will all come together in a beautiful pattern.
And you will see all this as your calling—a calling back and forth, in
continuous song, from your heart to the universe and the universe back to
you.
In the words of Confucius, “Choose a job you love, and you will never
have to work a day in your life.”
OceanofPDF.comChapter 12
Embracing Abundance
As a child of God, you are inwardly abundant. External abundance is
simply a reflection of who and what you are.
A spiritual economy is one in which abundance is a natural result of
people actualizing their God-given gifts. True prosperity is the prospering
of our spirits in service to love.
You are an idea in the Mind of God, and an idea does not leave its source.
God is infinite and God is love; therefore you share in that infinitude and
you share in that love. This is simply the truth of who you are.
The universe of which you are part is an all-loving field of miraculous
possibility, not only in every instant but also moving through time. In
physics terms, you’re not a particle but a wave. You’re not a static thing, but
rather an ever-evolving emanation of the Mind of God. Spirit has great
plans for you, because God’ s Mind is an eternal wellspring of infinite love.
This wellspring literally never runs out of ideas.

We feel it would be arr ogant to think of ourselves as
“God’ s gift to the world,” yet in fact that’ s exactly who
each of us is.

Your awareness of these things helps right the universe on your behalf,
lifting you above the effects of the fear-based thought system that
dominates this planet. Your greatest source of power in this world is the
knowledge that you’re not of this world. None of us are truly at home in thisdimension, and—counterintuitive though it is—we dwell most comfortably
within the world when we know that. Our true home lies beyond the veil of
illusion, and we are here to shed the light of our true home into all darkened
corners of the world. With that understanding we unleash the unlimited
potential that lies within each of us to create the good, the true, and the
beautiful.
Such are the gifts of the spirit that we carry within. We’re programmed for
abundance because we are abunda nt. Financial prosperity  is one of the
many ways we receive the gifts of the world, as we deliver to the world the
gifts we bring from beyond it.
Think what a different self-perception that is than the ego’s derogatory
estimation of who you are. To the fear-based ego mind, you’re a clump of
clay that has to compete in whatever way you can for the materi al resources
by whic h to survive. To the loving heart, however, you’re a nonmaterial
wave of energy, on earth with a spiritual mission. This mission acts like a
magnet, making  the forces of the world arrange themselves in a way that
supports its achievement. No matter what you do, your abund ance lies in
dedicating your work to the purpose of healing the world. This is our
common spiritual function, and it’s only in performing our function that we
can be happy.
We’re not depressed because the economy is depressed; the economy is
depressed because we’re depressed. And we’re depressed because we’ve
lost conscious contact with the realization of why we’re here. We feel it
would be arroga nt to think of ourselves as “God’ s gift to the world,” yet in
fact that’s exactly who each of us is. It’s humble, not arrogant, to realize this
truth; we’re not taking personal credit for the divine power that lies within
us. Remembering that that divine power is there—in us, but not of us—is
essential to the proper functioning of our mind and heart. Any thought or
action that separ ates us from love separates us from our sense of meaning,
our creativity and our joy.
You were created to live a life of abundance, with the supp ort of the
universe in carrying out your material endeavors. Nature itself displays
economy, but not austerity. Yet many of us were taught—and  by certain
religions, no less!—to distrust abundance, leading us to subconsciously
avoid or, at the very least, fail to develop the mental and emotion al habits  of
an abundant life. We need to do more than eradicate our thoughts ofpoverty; we need to allow ourselves to proactively embrace, to the point of
embodying, the energies of abundance. To the universe, it’s as easy to
manifest six zeroes as it is to manifest two. As a child of God, all the
abundance of the universe belongs to you, because it is you

 one hundred years after Nobel ’ s death,
three do ctors, Robert Furchgott, Louis Ignarro, and Ferid Murad, were
awarded the Nobel Prize in Ph ysiology or Medicine for discovering how
nitric oxide had many important beneficial ef fects for the cardiovascular
system. Had Alfred Nobel conceded to the wishes of his doctors, it is
possible that his life may have been extended.
Sometimes referred to as the mi ghty molecule, nitric oxide is produced
within t he 100,000 miles of b lood vessels throughout the human body,
including the paranasal sinuses surrounding the nasal cavity.
Nitric oxide sends a signal for the blood vessels to relax and dilate. If
there is too littl e nitric oxide, blood vessels constrict and the heart has to
raise the  pressu re to send blood  throughout the body. The eas iest way to
understand this is to imagine a  garden hose with a knot in it : The water
cannot flow freely and the pressure must rise if the water has any chance of
flowing from one end to the other. Persistent high blood pressure or
hypertension da mages the arterial blood vessels, causing a buildup ofplaque and cholesterol and also  possibly blood clotting. If the  blood clots
and leads to an obstruction, this may cause the heart or brain to be deprived
of blood and oxygen, resulting in a heart attack or stroke.
Nitric o xide plays a monumental role in human health by r educing
cholesterol, rev ersing the buildup of plaque in the blood v essels, and
helping to prevent blood clotting, all of which significantly incre ase the risk
for h eart attack and stroke. Acc ording to Nobel laureate and d istinguished
professor of pharmacology Dr. Louis Ignarro: “[Nitric oxide] is the body’ s
natural defense to prevent all of these things from happening.”
Producing suf ficient nitric oxi de enables blood flow to be directed
ef fortlessly around the body, ensuring that vital or gans receive suf ficient
oxygenation and nutrients. As blood vessels relax, the heart is able to
normalize the pressure required to distribute blood throughou t the body.
W ays to increase nitric oxid e include slow nasal breathing, regular
moderate physical exercise, and eating foods that produce nitric oxide.
As nitric  oxide is produced inside the paranasal sinuses as well as the
blood vessels, breathing gently and calmly through the nose all ows the gas
to be picked up  and carried to the lungs and blood. According to Jon
Lundber g, professor of nitric oxide pharmacologics at the world-famous
Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, lar ge amounts of nitric oxide
are cons tantly r eleased in the n asal airways of humans. As we  breathe in
through the nose, nitric oxide w ill follow the airflow to the lungs, where it
plays a role in increasing the amount of oxygen uptake in the blood.
Dr. Dav id Anderson of the Nat ional Institutes of Health in the United
States al so believes that how we  breathe may well hold the key for how the
body regulates blood pressure. It is well known that slow, gentle breathing
from the diaphragm relaxes a nd dilates blood vessels, but the reasons
behind t his lasti ng drop in bloo d pressure is not completely understood. A
plausible explan ation is that the regular practice of relaxed breathing
activates the body’ s relaxation response, resulting in improved  blood gas
regulation and dilation of blood vessels.
As we partake in  physical exercise, blood flow increases and stimulates
the inner lining of the blood vessels to produce more nitric oxide. An
interesting study by a team of researchers from Hiroshima University
Graduate Schoo l of Biomedical Sciences compared changes to blood flow
in re sponse to dif ferent intensities of physical exercise. Exercise intensitydescribes the perceived ef fort by  individuals while physically moving their
bodies. For example, most people will agree that walking at a moderate
pace is a low-intensity exercise  because it is easy to sustain a nd involves
light dem ands in terms of brea thlessness and recovery. The study, which
was published in the journal Cir culation,  found that low-intensity exercise
—which expends about the same amount of ener gy as window-shopping—
wasn’ t enough to optimally increase blood flow. Conversely, high-intensity
exercise—which includes vigorous activity at a fast pac e—actually
worsened blood flow. But the middle path—moderate-intensity exercise,
such as a brisk w alk or a light jog or cycle—increased product ion of nitric
oxide and improved blood flow throughout the body.
While physical exercise is an excellent way to increase nitric oxide,
diet, die tary supplements, and nasal breathing also play significant roles. In
a r ecent conversation with Irish cross-country running coach Jo hn Downes,
he t old me how  he actively en courages his athletes to drink beet juice,
explaining how he witnessed an increase in performance and reduction of
cramping as a result. Since Joh n isn’ t a man to waste ener gy on unfruitful
training practice s, I decided to find out more. I soon di scovered a study
conducted by the University of Exeter that investigated the ef fects of
increased dietary intake of beet juice, which is rich in the nitrates required
to g enerate nitric oxide. A study group of men aged between n ineteen and
thirty-eight drank about two cups of beet juice every day for a week. This
resulted in a “remarkable reduction” in the amount of oxygen  required to
perform exercise  in comparison with a control group who drank water: The
beet juice drinkers were able to cycle up to 16 percent longer before tiring.
Furthermore, blo od pressure within the beet juice drinkers dropped (within
normal levels), even though it wasn’ t high to begin with. In conclusion, the
researchers commented that the reduction of oxygen required for
submaximal exercise following the drinking of beet juice “cannot be
achieved by any other known means, including long-term endurance
exercise training.”
Along w ith beet juice, essential nitric oxide–producing, heart-pr otecting
food sources to include in you r diet include fish, green vege tables, dark
chocolate, red wine (a glass pe r day—not the bottle!), pomegranate juice,
green or black tea, and oatmeal. Food sources to be limited in your diet
include the usual culprits of meat and processed foods. Along  with eatingthe r ight foods, supplementing your diet with the amino acid L-ar ginine has
been pr oven to increase nitric oxide production, although results vary
depending on age and genetics. These simple changes to y our diet, in
addition to simply breathing ligh tly through your nose, may pro vide the key
to lifelong cardiovascular health.
Most of us neve r give a moment’ s thought to our cardiovascula r health,
taking fo r grante d that our hear t will continue to perform its essential task
for s eventy years or more. But  heart-related problems are not limited to
those with a his tory of heart disease; completely avoidable cardiac issues
can be experie nced by young and otherwise healthy individuals, and
prevented simply by increasing nitric oxide levels and by chang ing the way
they breathe.
In 1 909, American physiolog ist Dr. Y andell Henderson produced
groundbreaking work on the relationship between breathing and heart rate
that remains relevant today. In a  paper entitled “Acapnia and Shock: Carbon
Dioxide as a Fa ctor in the Regu lation of Heart Rate,” Henderson describes
how he was abl e to regulate th e heart rate of dogs to any rate he desired,
from 40  beats or fewer per minute up to 200 or more, by a ltering their
pulmonary ventilation. Henderson noted that even a “slight reduction of
carbon dioxide of the arterial blood caused a quickening of the heart rate.”
A few years ago, I worked with a thirtysomething woman named Anna
who had been experiencing heart palpitations characterized by a fast
heartbeat. Her resting pulse wa s about 90 beats per minute— the average
heart rat e is between 60 and 80  bpm—leaving her feeling that her “heart
would b eat righ t out of [her] chest.” This feeling was a source of major
distress for Anna and she had c onsulted a number of specialists, but there
didn’ t seem to be anything physically wrong with her.
In an ef fort to g et to the bottom of the problem, Anna had under gone a
number of physical examination s and an electrocardiogram. The good news
was that her cardiovascular health was normal. The bad news was that there
was still  no identified reason or solution for her predicament. Following her
diagnosis, she was convinced th at she had a medical condition incurable by
modern science.
Unfortunately, A nna is not alone. The late chest physician Dr.  Claude
Lum wrote a number of articles illustrating her experience to a tee, based on
patients who presented the very same pattern of symptoms with no physicalanomaly. The one thing all these cases had in common was a tendency for
overbreathing, t he seemingly innocuous habit that is found


. Revici didn‘t learn to speak English (his
sixth language) until he was almost fifty years old.  Yet his written command of
the English language, based on some of his documents, indicates that it was
frequently rather good.
Dr. Revici is a man whose energy has seldom waned. Much of his creative
work is done between the hours of midnight and eight  o‘clock in the morning.
On nights when I have been a guest at his five -room, elegantly -modest Park
Avenue apartment in Manhattan, I have seen him in the middle of the night
working and pondering. On one occasion, around two or three in the morning,
he said, ―You get some sleep, I am working.‖
That habit of reading, pondering and writing in the middle of the night from
midnight until morning is something he has done all his adult life and
apparently even as a child. Perhaps most remarkable of all wa s his ability to
hold a document six inches from his face, reading it without glasses. Although
he has glasses, he didn‘t seem to need them — but then, he was only ninety -
eight -years old at the time. He now needs a cane and a helping hand to walk
from place to place, reportedly due to the ravages of a serious food poisoning
that settled into his hip from bad pork he had eaten more than a half -century
ago.  25
 Yet the years that have exacted a physical toll have had less effect on his
mind. Even now, at the top of his bed, are hundreds if not thousands of small
squares of papers bound in rubber bands or in paper clips with notations that
he has made. The middle drawer of his office desk is similarly filled with
bound notes on various medical topics. When he was shown an old article
referring to work he did with schizophrenics nearly fifty years ago, he pointed
repeatedly at a particular line in the paper with his finger and said, ―This
makes me think of something entirely new, I mus t work on it.‖ That tireless
devotion to a single cause for more than 80 years, coupled with a brilliant
mind and a caring heart, has produced a most remarkable treasure of over
100 medicines for the treatment of cancer, AIDS, smoking, drug addiction,
alcoholism, arthritis, depression, schizophrenia, heart disease, high blood
pressure, migraines, cuts and burns, asthma, childhood retardation, herpes,
colitis and many other conditions.
Within these pages you will meet some of the people he has helped.  Their
stories are living proof that Dr. Revici‘s medicines aren‘t alternative medicine
— but real medicine.
There are many books that tell how and why a certain discovery changed
society. This book tells you history in advance. After you have read The
Doctor Who Cures Cancer, you will be able to watch history unfold from a
vantage point seldom available. But more importantly, you will have
information that can help you take advantage of Dr. Revici‘s discoveries
should you or your family ever need i t.
P.S. About the title and the word ―cure‖: Dr. Revici and I have different perspectives about what
constitutes the cure of cancer in a patient. Dr. Revici‘s position is quite clear. All of his life he has
repeatedly said that with cancer patients one c an never be sure if every last cancer cell has been
eradicated. Consequently, he has steadfastly held that one can never say a cancer is cured. For
example, not once in his own 772 -page book did Dr. Revici ever claim a patient to be cured of cancer,
althou gh the temptation might have been great considering the results he had achieved. Furthermore,
Revici has avoided ever saying any of his patients were cured of cancer regardless of how long they
have lived without a recurrence of the symptoms.
Dr. Revici is much more conservative than the American Cancer Society
(ACS) in respect to what constitutes a cure. The ACS generally considers a
patient cured if he or she survives five years beyond the initial diagnosis
regardless of the patient‘s condition at th e end of those five years. The
American Cancer Society refers to cancer as one of the most curable of the
major diseases. The organization will also admit it doesn‘t know what the
mechanism of cancer is. How they can reconcile those contradictory stances
is left to them to explain. Some cancer researchers have held that cancer
cells are always present in the human body but are held in check by some as
yet not fully understood mec hanism. If cancer cells are always present, then
we must differentiate between a dormant cancer cell and an active cancer
cell.
A metaphor from nature might help to differentiate between cancer and a  26
 malignancy. A resting lion with a full stomach is of little danger to a group of zebras, but a lion in
pursuit is a different story entirely. With that concept in mind, the question of what is a fair definition for
curing cancer m ight fall somewhere between Dr. Revici‘s viewpoint and the position of the American
Cancer Society.
My American Heritage Dictionary defines the word ―cure‖ as, ―1. Restoration of health; recovery from
disease. 2. A method or course of treatment used to re store health. 3. An agent, such as a drug, that
restores health.‖ In the verb form, the dictionary states, ―To restore to health. To get rid of, to remedy.‖
There are many cases in this book that would seem to fit those dictionary definitions. Based upon t hose
dictionary meanings, although Dr. Revici has always refrained from describing himself as a physician
who cures cancer, maybe we should.
Another title considered for the book was ―Real Medicine‖. That title might better describe the contents
of the bo ok since this story is only partially a biography and cancer is only one of the conditions Revici
has had success in treating. But the real problem with treating cancer isn‘t the lack of effective
medicines; it‘s the mistaken belief that truly effective tr eatments for cancer have not been developed
yet. Perhaps the selected title will help correct that mistaken belief. ―Real Medicine‖ doesn‘t do that,
unfortunately.
The final chapter, however, is called ―Real Medicine‖. I hope you enjoy it.
1Dr. Barry S ears, in his monumental best -selling book, The Zone, has
uncannily and apparently unknowingly made use of a small portion of Dr.
Revici‘s discoveries. Dr. Sears refers to the Nobel -Prize -winning work of
Bengst Samuelsson as the scientifically -grounded b asis for part of his own
findings. In fact, Sears emphasizes that his reliance on that discovery is the
scientific cornerstone of his dietary theory. According to A. R. Salman, M.D.,
Samuelsson‘s findings, made in the mid 1970‘s, are one and the same as  Dr.
Revici‘s overlooked discovery made in the mid 1940‘s. Dr. Salman has said
repeatedly that Revici‘s earlier work in this area is ―clearer and more detailed‖
than Samuelsson‘s.  27

 Prologue — Issy and the Spider Leg
“You requested that I look i nto Dr. Revici‟s treatment of cancer. This I did, and find it far beyond my
wildest expectations …. His results are amazing …”
Louis E. Burns, M.D., 1955
“We can cure this disease if we can get a national effort behind it”
Sam Donaldson, ABC News, 1996, i n an interview with Larry
King about cancer.
Two weeks before little Issy was taken to see Emanuel Revici, M.D., in
Manhattan, her doctors at Children‘s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) had
estimated she had two or three weeks left to live.
Five hundre d thousand dollars of prior medical treatments had not cured her
because a grapefruit -sized tumor pressed against the four -year-old‘s large
intestine and liver. Meanwhile, the malignant growth had sprouted a six -foot
predatory spider leg that wrapped itself around her spine. In addition, one of
her chemotherapy sessions at CHOP had injured her kidneys and bladder,
according to her father, Vernon Morin.
The Morins were cautioned by Issy‘s doctors that their daughter  would
probably die a painful death, although they would prescribe some narcotics to
try to reduce her pain. Vernon said the only ―good‖ news they had to offer
was that the end would come quickly.
Her parents would not give up, however. Two days after  starting Dr. Revici‘s
treatment, Issy‘s pain disappeared, so she no longer needed any pain killers.
The first office visit cost less than $200. The medicine was free.
Issy spent that summer playing and swimming in the river behind her parent‘s
home. As her treatment continued, she gained weight, began to grow,
returned to preschool, and started ballet classes. Her sweet and playful
disposition returned as well.
After nine months of Revici‘s care, Issy‘s grapefruit -sized tumor was smaller
than a g olf ball. The dangerous spider leg was dead. Where tests had
previously shown 98% cancer cells in

SECTION X - WOUND HEALING
 The paper by J.E. Fulton in 1990 on the effects of Aloe Vera on postdermabrasion wound healing was the
paper that inspired me to carry out my own research into Aloe Vera. I was intrigued by its conclusion - "the reasons for the accelerated wound healing are unknown"!

Virtually all papers show positive results demonstrating Aloe's wound healing potential as it plays a part
in this complex system. However, there is one important paper that showed a delay in wound healing, that
of Schmidt and Greenspoon Published in 1991. They applied topical Aloe Vera to post Caesarian wounds with negative results. I first wonder whether the change in hormonal status of these patients interferes
with the action of Aloe Vera.

Before speaking, I breathed deeply.
I began: “The reward I accept for my work in physics is that tonight I

true friend. Y et the prize which you bestow cannot rightfully be mine alone,
for the information was a gift from the masters of another world.
Internationally, there are talented physicists and scientists of many fields

the presence of the lady Eykis of whom many of you have heard.
“She left Uranus a short while ago and I must move over slightly so she

I could see those smiling honest eyes again…

2Copyright 2014 everydayroots.comA Note from the Author
If you are reading this, you have my heartfelt thanks and congratulations. Y ou have taken a huge step
towards improving not only your life, but the lives of countless others as well. Y ou will find that natural
living-whether you are interested in replacing a few cleaners here and there, or want to create an
entirely new lifestyle-will open your eyes to new things every day. It is a constant journey of learning,
creating, and feeling whole.
If you are new to this whole thing, no worries! This book was created with people who are just
taking their first steps in mind, but it also has something for those who seek to deepen their existing
experience and knowledge. Throughout the following chapters I try to explain some of the science
behind home remedies, or the theories behind why they work. Sometimes there is nothing to explain,
and sometimes there is a whole lot. I also firmly believe that the best way to figure out how to manage
something is to understand it; so many remedies will give backgrounds on the conditions as well.
Hopefully you will begin to see the connections between certain ingredients and ailments, and begin
to explore with your own variations and recipes!
Now to address what many people will inevitably wonder at as they read this-does this stuff really
work? The answer to that is yes, and no. Nothing can hold up to the powerful and potent chemicals in
store bought cleaners and modern medications, but that doesn’t mean natural techniques don’t work.
It does not mean you are settling for anything less-just something different. It takes a little more elbow
grease, a little more effort, and a fair bit of patience. Y ou may have to retrain your brain to grasp a new
definition of what “works.”  Does a cleaner have to dissolve something before your very eyes to be
satisfied? Or are you willing to pass up the chemicals and possibly wait a little longer for it to work? The
same thing goes for some medication. We often sacrifice health and happiness for convenience, but
once you rid yourself of the extreme results some modern day techniques give, you will be surprised at
just how successful you really can be. And, I will happily admit, sometimes you will find in this book that
there really is nothing to explain or justify a remedy-it just is! I love classic and traditional remedies that,
for no known scientific reason, have worked in some way or another for hundreds of years.
Before you go on your way, I will say that if there

The resistivity of femoral veins was of the same
order of magnitude as that of the arteries (resistivity of
0.9% NaCI gave values of0.70 ohm·m at n•c). The

200 to 280 times higher in these experiments than in
those through 0.9% NaCI solution.

a preferentia l electric
pathway in vessels and
tissues
The experiments on resistivity of "large" vessel walls
in relation to the relatively low resistivity of plasma
and interstitial IUuid indicate the possibility that elec
trochemical gradients in tissue may be levelled over
the proposed VICC (vascular-interstitial closed cir
cuit). If this hypothesis is correct, the vascular system
must be acknowledged to possess a previously unre
cognized function: the U.rge (i.e., macroscopic ) vessels
act as electrically.conducting, insulated cables. The vessel
walls thus insulate one branch of the conducting me
dia, the plasma. from its surroundings, except at its
transcapillary junctions with the other branch, the
interstitial fluid. This hypothesis of a conducting
VICC will now be tested in different ways.
Consider an electric direct current, passing from the
interior of a vessel to a distant region of tissue. After a
sufficient quanti'ly of current has flowed, certain mor
phologic (and presumably functional ) changes should
develop in the preferential pathways for the current.
Such changes appeared to be the actual case in experi-

l. Cathodic field
A catheter was passed from a femoral vein or artery
into a pulmonary artery or the aorta, respectively, of
each of 15 anaesthetized dogs. Through the catheter an
aneriographic guidewire of stainless steel was passed,
and its tip positioned 5 t.o 10 em beyond the tip of the
catheter. This guidewire was used as a cathode. A
platinum string was used as an anode and placed
percutaneously either in the lung tissue ~ em from
the pulmonary arterial cathode, or in the shoulder
muscles or in an intraabdominal organ, 10 to 15 em
from the cathode in the aorta or inferior vena cava.
Teo volts were applied between the electrodes and the
quantity of current was measured in coulombs. Insu
lating properties of the aortic wall could be demon
strated at I 0 volt potemial difference with doses of
current as large as I 700 coulombs.
After the animal was sacrificed, the external wall of
the aorta (Fig. XII: 14a) was found to be oedematous
and brown-blac k within a 3 x 2 em area. The sped-
brown. (b) Inside the aorta, opened lengthwise. The brown
vasa vasorum were found to be a branchjng nerwork of twigs
all supplied by a single dark brown artery (arrow) arising
from the lumen of the aorta. The intraaortic cathode, which
had been lightly touching the intima, caused a small ridge
(white arrows) of focal oedema. This ridge passes close to the
dark artery, which seems to have-served as a preferential
pathway for the electric current. The media between the in
jured intima and adventitia was not substantially injured (see
Fig. XII: 16a).
Biologically closed electric circuits 129 men was then opened by a longitudinal incision (Fig.
Xll: 14b). It showed only minimal injury macroscopi
eally as a small ridge of oedema where the guidewire
cathOde had been in contact with the aonicwaU (white
arrows). This fmding is a clear discrepancy from the
widespread oedema and diseolouration of the external
aortic wall. A local dark spot (arrow) was also found,
rcprc:scnting the orifice of an artery. By dis>e<:tiun, the
anery was followed as a dark channel in a cranial
direction to the discoloured section of the aona, where
.it ramified into the dark brown vasa vasorum. In this
case, the relatively minor intimal injuries at the site of
the cathode an.d the widespread changes in the distti
tltltion area of vasa vasorum arising from a single
artery appear to indicate a preferential pathway in this
vessel for the flow of electric current.
A local, marked injury to the aortic wall can, on the
other hand, also be provoked (Fig. XII: 15). In this
case the stainless steel cathode was pressed firmly
against the inside of the aortic wall while 500 coulombs
at 10 volts potential difference were passed between

the electrodes (intraaonic cathode and a platinum an
ode in the prostate gland of each of 3 dogs). Externally
the aorta showed no discolouration or obvious oedema.
Arteries arising locally from the aorta showed no disco
louration.
Histologi c sections of cathodic injuries tO the aorta
are illustrated in Fig. XII: 16. Fig. XII: 16a shows the
left put of the aurti<: spcdmen in Fig. XII: 14 b. Co
agulation injury and oedema were found mainly in the
outer part of the media and in the adventitia. Foci of
dark amorphous material were interpreted as repre
senting destruction of blood and walls of the vasa
vasorum. Fig. XII: 16 b shows the severe cathodic in
jury seen in Fig. XII: IS of the intima (left), media and
adventiti a at the site of direct contact of the electrode
with the aortic wall.
Thrombosis was not seen at the metal surface of the
cathode. 1\s an electron emittor, the cathode does not
corrode. Serious damage to the vessel wall appears to
be avoidable if the electrode is kept away from the
intimal surface. In the case illustrated in Fig. XII: 14,

disturbed,  as you thought,  by entities.  Now  don't  blame  the
poor  entities!  Some  of that  condition  is within  your  own
selves;  and  most  of it is projected  to you  by human  Beings,
not entities!  The  day  is not far distant,  when  the Student
Body  in Los  Angeles  and  vicinity,  will  clean  out  every 425 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
vicious  person  who  is opposing  This  Work;  and  that  one
will stop  projections  and  distress,  which  have  been  imposed
upon  a great  many  of the students.
Call to Myself  and  Victory  in any  such  disturbance;  and
perhaps  it will  be well  to call  to Beloved  Astrea,  to seize
and bind  the entities,  if there  should  be any  around;  but
most  opposition  is consciously  projected  and  it is vicious  and
it is vile!  Persons  who  are so vicious,  they  would  not give
obedience  to Life  and  This  Law;  and  then  try to project
their  devilishness  at Individuals  who  are earnest  and  sincere
in This  Light,  should  be stopped.  Do not  give  them  any
quarter.  We are going  to stop  this thing!  Not  only  turn  back
upon  them  their  own  viciousness,  but use physical  means  if
necessary  to stop  allowing  them  in your  Groups  or your
association!
People  should  go about  their  own  business  and  mind  their
own  business;  and  if they  are not interested  in This  Truth,
they  should  leave  It alone!  There  is a Mighty  Reason,  when
I take  this  up Myself.  You  know  I have  not referred  to it
before,  but it is time  it be stopped;  and  the vicious  false-
hoods  which  are spread  to try and  prevent  the Messengers
holding  these  classes,  should  be silenced!  It is ridiculous,
when  This  "I AM"  Instruction  of Saint  Germain's,  brings
only  good  to the people.  The  students  should  band  together
and stop  it! Go to the officials,  explain  the  Law  and  the
Fundamentals  of This  Truth!  Show  them  what  these  de-
structive  Individuals  are doing;  and  see they  are silenced
forever.  That  is the way  to clean  these  things  out. DISCOURSE  XXIII  401
Don't  be afraid  to do it! I want  you  to be Free!  Don't
feel you  have  to continue  to be harassed  and  heckled  by
these  insane  creatures;  because  that  is all they  are.  If they
were  not,  they  could  not do these  things.  The  idea  of people
who  take  it upon  themselves  humanly  to interfere  with
your  progress  or the Expansion  of your  Light,  is too ridicu-
lous for consideration  and  should  not  be tolerated  for a
second!  Remember!  K-17  will  give  you  Limitless  Assistance
in revealing  and  bringing  forth  evidence  to silence  these
creatures!
Will  you  for just a few moments  accept  Our  Out-pouring
now?  First,  the Radiance  will  be spread  over  the audience;
and then  out  of that  Radiance,  will  come  the  Currents
which  each  Individual  requires.  Let all spend  perhaps  two
minutes  in silence,  so This  Radiance  may  have  Its oppor-
tunity  to flow  in and  assist  you.
SILENCE
My Dear  Ones,  it is positively  remarkable  how  you  are
able to still yourselves.  I mean  by that,  not just  the physical
part of you,  but the feeling  world  which  is more  important.
I congratulate  you  with  all My  Heart.  It shows  what  you
can do!  I want  to show  you  how  well  you  co-operated.
What  it seemed  to Me must  require  at least  two  minutes,
was accomplished  in one.  You  remember  in India,  that
which  would  have  taken  two  years  was  accomplished  in
two days.  I wish  you  to see,  Beloved  Ones,  what  your  co-
operation  in obedience  to Our  Requests  means  to you.  It 402 THE  "I AM99  DISCOURSES
means  everything  in Life  in the Attainment  of Its Perfec-
tion.
While  I have  been  rendering  This  Service,  the Goddess
of Liberty,  the Goddess  of Light,  the Goddess  of Peace  and
the Goddess  of Purity,  Whose  combined  Out-pouring
makes  a Certain  Concentration  of Power,  which  later  We
will explain  to you—are  enthroned  above  you,  pouring  out
Their  Radiance!  Their  Currents  of Energy  went  forth  thru
This  Radiance  and  spread  over  the  audience,  to render
Their  Service!
Please  do not try to explain  to yourself  how  It was;  what
It was;  or anything  about  It. Just  accept  It, and  I assure  you,
We will  do the rest.  In some  of these  things,  you  cannot  be
of assistance,  except  to give  your  Full  Acceptance;  because
you do not understand  and  Our  Words  would  not cause  you
to understand,  how  to be of any  special  assistance,  for We
are the Doers.  Just  let Us do that  which  We  know  is essen-
tial; and  do not allow  your  intellect  to wonder  anything
about  it!
I want  you  to feel,  Dear  Ones,  that  Our  Assistance  is not
so much  in what  I am saying  to you,  in the outer  worded
expression;  as It is of the Inner  Activity  which  is so impor-
tant—in  order  to hasten  the Expansion  of your  Light,  your
comprehension;  and  give  you  a Fuller  Power  of Accept-
ance,  in that  which  you  will  continue  to call forth  individ-
ually.
Will  you  on retiring  each  night,  remember  this  after-
noon  and  call  for its Continued  Action!  It only  takes  a DISCOURSE  XXIII  403
moment  to call for Continued  Action,  the Continuous  Ex-
pansion  of Our  Radiance  which  has  been  spread  here  this
afternoon.  Then,  you  will  by your  attention,  keep  the
Power  flowing,  to do these  things  and  bring  about  the
Completion.
In human  experience  among  so many  people,  there  has
been  the enthusiastic  desire  to start  something;  but they  do
not hold  the enthusiasm,  to go on to the finish!  Now  your
enthusiasm  and  your  gratitude  are sufficient,  to carry  you
on to the completion  of all you  require  in the Service,  which
We wish  to do for you.  So in the remembrance  of all I have
said,  will  you  be kind  enough  to give  the Full  Obedience,
in making  your  Call  and  giving  Me your  attention;  which
will keep  this in action,  until  what  is required  is completed ?
I presume  Saint  German  thinks  I am a rather  doubting
Thomas;  but when  He said  to Me at the beginning  of This
Class,  it could  be done  at the close  of the Class,  I waited
to see.  Of course,  I had  not been  giving  as much  attention
to you  as He has;  for when  you  have  watched  with  Me
—thru  the centuries,  in which  We have  watched  mankind,
you do not wonder  that  I question—not  their  desire;  but
their  ability


 can become
uncomfortable for a variety of reasons, including a sensitivity to CO2 and
the person will be motivated to remove the mask. It is unlikely that wearing
a mask will cause hypercapnia.”SUMMAR Y:
• The mechanism of COVID-19 remains unknown and it is not confirmed whether
breathing through the nose can inhibit this virus.
• However, it is logical to breathe only through the nose given that the primary defense
to airborne viruses is in the nose and not the mouth, that breathing through the nose
can support the body’ s natural resistance to infection.
• Breathe through your nose, especially in public places—on public transport, while
exercising at the gym, and so on.
• While in public places, slow down your breathing and deliberately reduce the volume
of air taken into your lungs.
• Be aware of your breath-hold time during rest. During a head cold, lower respiratory
tract infection or respiratory symptoms, breath-hold time during rest is reduced. T o
test, exhale through nose, hold breath and time how long it takes for you to
experience first definite desire to breathe. If it is less than 10 seconds, respiration is
not optimal.
• You will find a suggested exercise protocol for COVID-19 recovery in Chapter T wo.

hen I changed career paths to teach breathing in 2002, it certainl y
raised a few eyebrows. It caused angst with some family
members and drew a good hearty laugh from others.
Roll on 18 years, and my work continues, thanks to the help and support
of many people. I’ve learned two things that could be considered guiding
principles. First,  follow your intuition. It might be the best thing you ever
do. Second, with passion and effort, we are likely to attract the right people
at the right time!
This book wouldn’ t exist witho ut those “right people.” I’m grateful to
the initial “whoosh up” from the Irish media. Thanks to the Galway
Advertiser  and Mary O’Connor for the very first article on the Buteyk o
method for asthma. Written in April of 2002, it sourced my first three
clients. And to the journalists who tested the technique for their asthma and
wrote stories on it. Kevin Murphy from the Irish Independent  and Sylvia
Thompson from the Irish Times.  Both took a dedicated intere st in the
Buteyko method, writing many articles over the years.
This book would not have been  possible without the help of Johanna
McW eeney, a tremendous write r, editor, and researcher who was able to
convert medical jar gon into reader -friendly tones.
Many thanks to Laird Hamilton for writing the foreword and to the team
at XPT ; Pj Nestler, Gabby Reece, and Jennifer Meredith.
To the breathing instructors Yasin Seiwasser, Robin Rothenber g, Nick
Heath, Dr. Jonathan Herron, Lisa Seaman, Geor gi Rose Lawlor, Dr. Jay
Wiles, Kathleen Dixon, Alessandro Romagnoli, Leonardo Pelagotti, Dr.
Paul Sly, Tim Anderson, and Magnus Appelber g. Thank you for sharingyour experience with the breath. Soprano Claire Wild, thank you for
checking the singing appendix.
To James Nestor, whose book Breath repres ents the greatest
contribution to breathing in 20 years. It is one of the best books on
breathing I have read.
The real-life examples in this book add the human touch. Some of the
stories you will read are from clients I have worked with. Others are from
readers who have written to me. Regardless, the personal element is very
important. Knowing that these exercises have helped people  makes the
work worthwhile. It provides me with the motivation to keep driving
forward.
To Dr. Joseph Mercola for reaching out to his 2 million members on
Mercola.com, to inform them of the importance of nose breathing and
functional breathing patterns. To Joy, Marc, and Samantha Moeller for their
tireless dedication in advancing research into breathing and myofunctional
therapy.
To the dentists and orthodontis ts Dr. John Mew and Mike Mew, Dr.
William Hang, Dr. Kevin Boyd, Dr. Marinela Banica, Dr. James Bronson,
Dr. Douglas Knight, Dr. Lynn and Dr. Ed Lipskis, Dr. Yue Weng Cheu, Dr.
Louisa Lee, Dr. Frank Seaman, Dr. James Metz, Dr. Derek Mahony, and Dr.
Tony O’ Connor. Thank you for highlighting an issue vital to the
development of our children. No doubt we often feel we are swimming
against the tide. The time is now ripe for calm waters.
To Keith Pfeffer and Mary Glen n of Humanix Books for bringing The
Breathing Cur e to tens of thousands of people across the globe.
The invited podcasts by Brian Rose, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, Brian
Johnson, Ben Greenfield, XPT Performance, Dave Asprey, Darin Olien,
Ben Pakulski, Robin Rothenber g, and Pat Divily. Thank you.
Currently, we are united with 290 Oxygen Advantage instructors and
400 Buteyko instructors from 50 countries. I never imagined the day where
we would have such a reach to bring functional breathing to so many
people.
Thank you, Ana Mahe, for doing such a great job in managing Oxygen
Advantage and Buteyko Clinic  International. To our team—to my wife,
Sinead, and to Ana, Tina, Mlad en, Vesna, Lucas, Matias, Johanna, Daniel,
and Ronan—thanks so much. To Bex Burgess for her help over the yearswith illustrations and diagrams,  some of which you will see in the book.
And as always, Jana Antonova for website design.
Finally, to you, the reader. Thanks for parting with your hard-earned
cash and trusting in the book. I hope it has been of use and will continue to
be helpful to you for many years.

 A local "Optional Vaccination League" helped to find other
cases. Most of these tragedies were reported by members of the families or other eye-
witnesses to the crimes.
V ACCINATION DEATHS IN COLORADO.
(From the files of Mr. V. E. Rowton)
"My wife, Ethel Andrews, was in good health until she was vaccinated by Dr.------,
about November 1, 1922. The vaccination started "to take" in three days — began to
fester and the arm was swollen. About the 9th of November, she broke out with a
pronounced skin rash all over her body. On November 29, she became seriously ill.
Sores appeared in place of the rash and the doctor said it was smallpox. On December
5th, she died."
"My daughter, Ruth Yvonne, six years old, was in perfect health until Saturday,
December 3, 1921, when we were advised by our family physician, Dr. C. F. Henger, to have her vaccinated, which we did... About the third day her arm began to hurt but she
continued to attend school until Friday. On Saturday she complained of a sore throat.
She became sick at her stomach and vomited. Her condition grew worse. The doctors
could do nothing to save her and she died on Tuesday about 5:15 (1921)."
Mrs. H. P. Kingsley, of the Ellsworth Hotel, Denver, gave the following statement about
her son John:
"He was in perfect health when I took him to school on Monday. He was told he must be
vaccinated before he could enter school so I had him vaccinated on the following
Monday. His knee started hurting soon after the vaccination but he went to school the
next morning. That was the last day he was ever to go to school again. The pain went to
every joint in his body and he suffered intensely for three weeks; then he passed away."
This data about the death of Mrs. Alta Vincent, 18 years of age, was given by her
husband, Luther Vincent, (Denver.)
"About November 13, 1922, my wife submitted to vaccination in order to hold her
position with the telephone company. Up to the time of the vaccination she was in good
health. On December 8th, she became quite ill with enlarged lymphatic glands under her
arms. On the 10th she died."
"My wife was vaccinated by Dr. A. W. Calhoun of Denver, on October 27, 1922. At the
time of the vaccination she was not in very good health. She died a few hours after the
vaccination in our home. The doctor pronounced it heart failure."
(This report was given by her husband, Mr. Padgett)
Walter Call was vaccinated about November 20, 1922. He was able to work for a week
after being vaccinated although he was ill during the time. He died on December 8, 1922
with black smallpox.
Lafayette Hunt of Denver, Colorado, was vaccinated November 6, 1922. He developed
smallpox on November 18th and died of it November 28, 1922.
Hulda Berg of Denver was vaccinated for smallpox some years ago. On October 27,
1922, she became ill with a severe headache and a rash. Dr. Kesley thought it was
measles. The health officer was called the following Sunday. He pronounced it smallpox
and she was taken to the hospital where she died soon after.
Ada McDaniels (Denver) was vaccinated twice shortly before she was stricken with
smallpox. She died on November 25, 1922.
Mr. Louis Pleines (Denver) was vaccinated when a boy and again six weeks before he
came down with smallpox, He died of smallpox on February 5, 1923.
Mrs. E. P. Haddon (Denver) was in good health until Sunday, November 12, 1922, when
she was vaccinated by her family physician, and nearly collapsed at the time. The next
day, Monday, she was ill. She was worse on Tuesday so the doctor turned the case over to the health officer. She was quarantined for smallpox on Wednesday and died the
following Monday, November 20th.
The street addresses of these cases are on file but have been omitted for obvious reasons.
Mr. and Mrs. Alvord of South Cascade, had a healthy, robust child. It was vaccinated by
Dr. Peters. About 9 days later it began to have convulsions. The doctor was called and
treated it. He said he was especially interested because it was a vaccinated case. The
convulsions occurred after the doctor left and he was called again but the child died
before he arrived. After a post mortem by Doctors Peters and Gillett, the cause of death
was reported as colitis. No mention was made of the recent vaccination.
Miss Hamilton, a school teacher, became seriously ill two weeks after her vaccination.
Smallpox pustules broke out over her back in the region of the kidneys. She died soon
after. The doctor reported the cause to be acute dilation of the heart. (This condition does
not happen without a cause. The blood-poisoning effect of the vaccination wasn’t
mentioned.)
Another school teacher of Colorado Springs (name withheld) submitted to vaccination in
March in order to hold her position. She was never well after that and died on November
17, 1922.
Mr. Charles Kiner, of Colorado Springs, gave the following report:
"In the fall of 1922 we started our only child, a little girl, to school. She was in excellent
health at the time but after she had attended two months we were told that she must be
vaccinated or leave school. We were opposed to it but had to submit. Soon after she was
vaccinated she broke out with sores and was not able to attend school again for six
weeks. She started again but was too sick to continue. We called our family physician,
Dr. Gillett, and he said she had erysipelas. She passed away about 9 days later."
Mrs. Caldwell (Colorado Springs) was vaccinated and nearly lost her arm as a result of
the long-continued inflammation. Eight months later she had smallpox in spite of the
vaccination. (Or because of it)
"Our baby was vaccinated in the fall of 1921. Four days after the vaccination the arm
became very sore and swollen; inflammation spread over the shoulder and up the neck to
the back of her ear. It continued to get worse and on the sixth day the doctor said it was
mastoiditis. The next day the baby went into convulsions and died on the 9th day after
the vaccination." Reported by the mother — name withheld (Colorado Springs.)
Mrs. Ellen Cook (Denver) was vaccinated at the City Hall on November 15, 1922. "In
five days", she reported, "I was very sick and couldn’t even lift my head for several days
without vomiting. My arm was badly swollen and full of painful lumps from my
shoulder to my elbow and was purple with congestion. It felt like there was a cord drawn
from my breast to my arm which gave me intense pain. I was quite helpless for three weeks then it broke out in sores at three different times. A year and three months has
passed and it is not well yet." (February 28, 1923)
As a result of the findings of this privately conducted survey of vaccination disasters,
Mr. Rowton and his group feel they found enough evidence to prove that there is no
benefit whatsoever, but considerable danger in the popular but damaging practices listed

"Medical science is a form of delusional madness from which few medical men ever recover. Backed by commercialism,
this madness runs roughshod over the life and health of the people."—Herbert M. Shelton, Ph.D., D.C., N.D.
In the Dark Ages when a decadent church dominated the state and religious persecution
b e c a m e intolerable, the people rebelled and demanded separation of church and state.
In countries where this popular request was not granted, those who wanted religious
freedom fled to other countries where more liberty and justice were possible. The newly
discovered America became a refuge for those who sought freedom from tyranny and
subjection. The constitution, that the Founding Fathers drew up was originally intended
to protect the people from encroachments on civil liberties and human rights, whether it
be from the self-appointed dictators of powerful financial interests, or from political,
religious or economic pressures.
Dr. Benjamin Rush and Dr. Josiah Bartlett  (both congressmen and signers of the
Declaration of Independence) foresaw the medical tyranny that was, even then, laying its
groundwork for domination of the healing field. In an effort to block this threatening
menace they tried to introduce legislative measures that would insure freedom from
