"THERE ARE
MANY WAYS OF PRACTICING THE HEALING ART,
-BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY THAT HEAVEN
APPROVES."
STATEMENTS
OF RECOGNIZED MEDICAL DOCTORS
"Most
drugs have no curative effect whatever on the diseases for which they are
administered. We do not feel under obligation to give drugs at all, except where
the patient's attitude or the attitude of his family makes it expedient.
"Professor William Osler, M.D., in Modern Medicine.
"We
medical men know little or nothing of the real action of drugs. "William
Osler, Medical Author and Critic.
"The
drugless doctor is steadily growing in influence. Medicine is facing an ever
increasing wave of discredit. "D.D. Tait, M.D., President of the San
Francisco Medical Society.
"Every
educated physician knows that most diseases are not appreciably helped by
drugs. Richard Cabot, M.D., Chief of Staff, Massachusetts General Hospital.
"The
cause of disease is the poisonous drugs physicians superstitiously give to
effect a cure.-Charles
E. Page, M.D., Boston, Massachusetts.
"The
drugless healer is one of the best things that has come into the life of the
present.
-Charles
Mayo, M.D., of the Mayo Brothers, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.
"I
place no confidence in drug therapeutics. Drugs, with the exception of two,
are valueless as cures. -Frank Billings, M.D., Ex-President, The American
Medical Association.
"There
is not a single medicine in all the world that does not carry harm in its
molecules-there
is no medicine that does not harm." -J.N. Hurry, M.D., Indiana State
Board of Health.
"Drugs
do not cure disease. The particular symptoms may be quieted by some drug, but
the disease itself remains.'-T.R. Allison, L.R.C.P., London, England.
"If
I take medicine for my liver it is probably doing harm to my stomach. - What
people need is to stop taking medicine. Any doctor who persuades people into
taking NO drugs will soon make a reputation for curing chronic diseases. -
C.S. Carry, M.D., Columbus Medical Journal.
No
reputable physician nowadays gives medicine indiscriminately to every patient
who applies. The modern doctor has lost his old-time faith in drugs, for the
simple reason that they do not always do what is claimed for them. Frequently we
have found that they do more harm than good. A drug for instance, may 'cure' a
pain in the head, but do permanent damage somewhere else. -Captain Hughes
Merns, M.D., The Office of the Surgeon General, Washington, D.C.
"All
diseases are caused by chemicals, and all diseases can be cured by chemicals.
ALL the diseases used by the body-except for the oxygen we breathe and the water
which we drink-are taken in through food. If we only knew enough, all diseases
could be prevented, and could be cured through proper nutrition. - Thomas
Douglas Spies, M.D., in a paper read before the American Medical Association
at its Annual Meeting of 1957, as reported in Newsweek, June 1957. Dr. Tom Spies
received the Distinguished Service Award, the highest honor the American Medical
Association can bestow, at their 106th Annual Meeting in New York of that
year.
All
medical doctors take the Hippocratic Oath before they begin the practice of
medicine. And it was Hippocrates himself who said, "Your food shall be your
medicine, and your medicine shall be your food." [Part of the Hippocratic
Oath is the promise to never knowingly give poison to one's neighbor. The Lord
reiterated that fact to us, of letting our food be our medicine, over a century
ago, and it must have been in His providence that one of OUR doctors should be
the one many years ago to present this truth to the American Medical Association.
Why have we permitted the world to steal a march on us? Is it because, like
Israel of old, we have despised His prophet? It seems so regrettable that some
of our medical men have labored so earnestly to maintain a "good
standing" with the medical trust that they are willing to jeopardize
their standing with the Great Physician. What perplexity it must cause the
angels as they see men of the world practicing and educating in the natural
methods of healing that we should be employing, whereas so many of our own
medical men are following a course that has been forbidden to us-a
course that is responsible for many deaths.
"God
requires His servants to walk in the light, and not cover their eyes that they
may not discern the working of Satan . . It is a lamentable fact that Gods
servants are not half as much awake to the wiles of Satan as they should be. And
instead of resisting the devil that he may flee, from them, many are inclined to
make a compromise with the powers of darkness."-Testimonies, volume 3, page
196. At the top of this page, we are told: "Here the duty of Gods servants
is made plain. They cannot be excused from the painful discharge of their duty
to reprove sins and wrongs in the people of God, although it may be a
disagreeable task, and may not be received by the one who is at fault."
As
we have space here for this I would like to note some of the baleful effects of
the wonder drugs-penicillin
and the various antibiotics-on
cases whom I have attended or observed, including relatives and friends. In contrast,
it may be mentioned that never in one instance have I seen a patient die from
the effects of the natural remedies such as are referred to in the Spirit of
Prophecy.
WHAT
ABOUT THE ANTIBIOTICS?
It
is true that antibiotics can and do destroy infection, and the might, indeed,
be termed wonder drugs if their destructive work ended with the infection. But
they are impartial destroyers. They have no discriminatory intelligence enabling
them to travel directly to the seat of the infection and there select and
destroy only the infecting bacteria. We are frequently told that the wonder
drugs kill the good and the bad bacteria alike, thus crippling the body's
natural defenses and as Sister White put it, "sowing a seed crop that
will never lose its destroying properties throughout the lifetime. (Medical
Ministry, page 229.]
In
corroboration of the above statements, here is a quotation from an address
presented by William E. Smith, M.D., of Englewood, New Jersey, at the Annual
Convention of Natural Food Associates, at Little Rock, Arkansas, on February 16,
1957:
"I
have induced cancer late in life in hundreds of animals by giving them when
young a single dose of carcinogens [cancer-causing chemicals or agents] in
amounts that you could put on the head of a pin."
Herbert
Snow, M.D., for many years the senior surgeon of the Cancer Hospital of London,
England, said:
"Of
recent years many men and women in the prime of life have dropped dead suddenly,
often after attending a wedding feast or banquet. I am convinced that 80% of
these deaths are caused by the inoculations or vaccinations they have undergone.
These are well-known to cause grave and permanent disease to the heart. The
coroner always hushes it up with 'natural causes.' "
W.B.
Clark, M.D., of Indianapolis was even more positive when he said, "Cancer
was practically unknown until cowpox vaccination began to be introduced. I
have had to do with at least 200 cases of cancer, and I never saw a case of
cancer in an unvaccinated person. "
It
has been stated that Sister White was vaccinated. As a child I was vaccinated
also, before I had been given our Adventist health message. It may well be that
Sister White was vaccinated before she received from Heaven our health message.
Here
is an interesting report on the severe toxic-poisonous-effects of several of the
antibiotics. It is reported in the book, Antibiotics, in 1953, and is written by
Robertson Pratt Ph.D. and Jean Dufrewy, D.Sc., both of the College of Pharmacy,
of the University of California, At the conclusion of the chapter devoted to
penicillin are listed the following toxic physiologic effects on the patient:
" . . pruritis, urticaria, nausea-
10% of patients: penicillin tongue, asthmatic attacks, anaphylaxis /protein
sensitization that results in a severe reaction, or death, when a second
injection of the drug is later given/ and serum sickness. When a regimen of
penicillin therapy designed to maintain continuously a therapeutic
concentration in the blood is followed, sometimes the normal formation of
antistrepolysis is impeded or may be prevented altogether, [and] the body may
fail to produce antibodies."
Tyrothricin
and two other antibiotics were also mentioned as causing occasional
irritability and necrosis [cell or tissue death] at the sight of injection as
well as nodules in the lung, the liver, the spleen, the kidney and the heart
tissue of experimental animals.
The
allergic reactions, to Streptomycin are listed in this book as follows: "Urticaria,
nausea, shock, .. Likewise as judged by the incidence of dizziness following
its use, dihydrostreptomycin was at first considered less toxic than streptomycin
which, at a dose of 2 gms. daily for 4 months produces irreversible [permanent
damage] and sometimes complete, depression [total loss of function] of
vestibular functions [of the inner ears, affecting the hearing; and the
semicircular canals, affecting the sense of balance] in bout 85% of patients and
even at a daily dose of I gm. can cause dizziness in about 59% of the patients.
However, dihydrostreptomycin is a more insidiously toxic agent because often
its use is followed by delayed and permanent deafness without [the] preliminary
warning of chronic neuralgic damage, that streptomycin gives by inducing vertigo
[dizziness] as vestibular function is impaired. "(So thoughtful of the
streptomycin to make one dizzy so the doctor can stop giving it, before the
individual goes stone deaf.)
The
chronic symptoms of streptomycin toxicity are listed as: "Damage to the
8th cranial nerve, fatty infiltration of the liver, damage to the kidney, and
blood dyscrasia with delayed reactions."
Some
of the toxic effects of Auremycin are given as: "Gastric upsets, including
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, mucosal irritation mouth and anal regions,
suppression of biosynthetic sources of calicines or other obscure antibiotically
active compounds that normally are liberated in the gastro-intestinal tract, and
flare-ups assumed to be cause of death in some patients.
In
another hook, Antibiotics and Antibiotic Therapy by Allen E. Hussar, M.D.,
F.A.C.P., and Howard L. Holley. M.D., F.A.C.P., we learn that the toxic effect
of penicillin on the central nervous system has been demonstrated in animal
experimentation and confirmed by clinical observation. Reactions from
intrathecial
penicillin have been described as follows: fever, headache, nausea and vomiting,
listlessness, irritability, respiratory [breathing] difficulties, cyanosis (blueness
of the skin], fall in blood pressure, circulatory collapse [blood vessel breakdown],
muscular twitching, pain in legs and lower back, sensory disturbances [in
hearing, sight, taste, etc.], areflexia (cessation of body reflexes], flaccid
or spastic paralysis of extremities [hands and feet] cranial nerve palsy
[defective brain nerve function], speech defect, nuchal [neck] rigidity, optic
atrophy [gradual loss of sight], difficulties in micturation [urination] and
defecation, unconsciousness, convulsions and status epilepticus [rapid
succession of epileptic attacks without regaining consciousness during them].
In
the same book, the toxic effects of streptomycin were listed as: fever, pallor
[paleness], irritability, paraplegia [paralysis of lower portion of body and
both legs], urinary retention, cerebeller signs, shocklike state, somnolence
[prolonged drowsinnes or condition resembling a trance which may continue
for days], convulsions, coma [abnormal deep stupor or sleep that the patient
cannot be aroused from]. and death.
Most
people have observed or heard of many of these reactions in people whom they
know, or they may have experienced them personally.
Here
is a comment along this line from the Washington Sunday Star of October 6,
1957: "Not Always a Life-saver-72
deaths Laid to Penicillin Use-More
and more Americans are becoming sensitized to and unable to take life-saving
penicillin, Dr. Henry Welch, of the Food and Drug Administration, reported yesterday.
The chief of FDA 's division of antibiotics presented results of a Nationwide
survey which uncovered 72 penicillin deaths and nearly 1000 'life-threatening'
reactions attributed to today's antibiotics, chiefly penicillin."
DO
DRUGS CURE-OR DO THEY MERELY SUPPRESS, DELAY AND CHANGE THE SYMPTOMS-AND
STORE OR REROUTE THE IRRITANTS FOR FUTURE TROUBLE?
After
reading the above statements from medical doctors about modern drugs, do you
think the Spirit of Prophecy was speaking only of the drugs of that day, or do
you think that the Great Physician, who could see even down to our modern times
included our modern drugs when He had the following written by Inspiration:
"When drugs are introduced into the system, for a time they seem to have a
beneficial effect. In nature's efforts to expel the drug from the system,
intense suffering is sometimes caused the patient. "-Spiritual Gifts,
volume 4, page 135. One who prescribes drugs gives the impression that he is
either indifferent to their toxic effects, or he is willfully ignorant of the
stupendous biochemical and biological reactions and functions of the human body.
Many,
of course, think they are cured because the drug has suppressed the symptoms.
But after a time they must come back for treatment for what appears to be a
new ailment; whereas it is just the old irritation, plus the drug, manifesting
itself in a new form. "Satan can present a counterfeit so closely
resembling the truth, that it deceives those who are willing to be
deceived."-Great Controversy, page 522.
We
are reminded of Ecclesiastes 8:11, "Because sentence against an evil work
is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in
them to do evil. "
A
BASIS OF MODERN MEDICAL PRACTICE
Many
people are unaware of the position of drugs in medical practice at this time in
history. People are frightened into being vaccinated or inoculated. This is
documented in an informative book entitled, The Drug Story, by Morris A. Beale,
a news reporter, author and editor.
Within
its pages you will find a thoughtful presentation of the development of the
modern drug trade, and the business ramifications that it now has throughout the
world. Working in connection with a benevolent and philanthropic
organization, it promotes the sale of drugs, serums, and vaccines manufactured
by its related drug companies and pharmaceutical houses. Medical doctors
reading it would gain an insight into the reason why the drug industry is the
basis of modern medicine and of the training that medical students are required
to take in medical schools. Not a single course in nutrition is required in
their packed program of studies.
But
solid, firm principles have been given us:
"It
is not necessary for our medical students to spend all the time that they are
spending in medical studies. -Testimonies, volume 8, page 163.
"Often
erroneous opinions are transcribed on the mind .. He is not to perform an action
that does not harmonize with the deep, holy principles which minister light to
his soul and vigor to his will .. The medical students are not to receive the
idea that they may regard themselves as amenable only to the leaders in the
medical work. They are to be left free to receive counsel from God . . Let us
remember that individually we are working in full view of the heavenly universe.
-Testimonies, volume 8, page 164.
"Many
have exalted science, and lost sight of the God of science."--Testimonies,
volume 5, page 82.
Recently
advance advertising for the Asiatic flue serum went across America. We are
told that the serum will be ready in September, and that the flu will arrive in
December or January. The symptoms of the flu are listed as sore throat or an
aching in the bones (which are symptoms common to a normal severe cold). And
then we are told that the serum must be taken ahead of time in order to cure the
Asiatic flu when it arrives. In order to protect themselves, the advertisers
claim that 70% effectiveness for the serum. So if one gets a shot and still gets
the symptoms of a heavy cold in December or January, he will know he is one
of the unfortunate 30%.
The
above paragraph was written in August. Since then we have had the opportunity to
observe the severe reactions that the flu vaccine has inflicted upon some of
those who urged into taking it. And now the official reports are that only a
12-50% protection from the "Asiatic flu" by the vaccine is claimed.
Why will thinking men and women in the world-and
in our church-allow
themselves to be taken in by such an ad campaign? The first-named-and
largest component of the Asian flu vaccine is SWINE. It is well-known that
swine are hosts for the flu organisms. The God of heaven says in Deuteronomy
14:8 regarding swine: " ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor TOUCH their
dead carcass. Again, He says, "In order to be fitted for translation,
the people of God must know themselves, they must understand in regard to
their physical frames. " -Testimonies, volume 1, page 486.
It
seems hardly consistent with these statements for one to think that he should
permit to be introduced into his body even a small amount of swine, be it ever
so highly processed or refined, and regardless of who told him that this purifying
treatment renders it innocuous. He is neither preparing for this life nor for
heaven by so doing. Indeed, the Lord has given us explicit and easily accessible
instruction which will enable us to obtain a relatively high resistance to
disease. Men should not inject human beings with polluted serums: "A man
that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man
stay him. "-Proverbs 28:17.
INSIGHTS
ON MEDICAL VACCINATION
Here
is another recent pertinent newspaper article: `Experts See More Peril in
Vaccine Than in Flu-San
Francisco, Sept. 28.-A
panel of medical experts has reached the conclusion that mass immunization
against Asian influenza doesn't make sense.
"Among
those on the panel were Dr. Karl F. Meyer, Emeritus Director of the University
of California's Hooper Foundation, and one of the world's foremost experts on
epidemic diseases; Dr. Lowell Rantz, Stanford professor of medicine; Dr. Henry
Brainerd, University of California professor of medicine; Dr. Henry Bruyn,
University of California assistant professor of medicine, and Dr. Ellis Sox, San
Francisco Health Director.
"Dr.
Rantz declared: if we were to give the vaccine to one million persons across
the board right now, we would have more deaths and illness from the vaccine than
we have with the flu.' Dr. Donald M. Campbell, president of the Medical Society,
commenting on the clamor for vaccine, stated: 'Id say there is a good deal of
hysteria or near-hysteria ..Im giving the vaccine only to relieve the
near-hysteria.' Dr. Sox had this comment: 'Probably only 20 percent of the
population will be hit. This means 80 [out] of 100 will not get Asian flu. He
said the vaccine is only 50% effective and if it is given to the entire 100,
only 10 of the 20 destined to get the flu will be protected. Of the 10, it is
highly likely that some will be hit harder by the vaccine than they would have
been by the disease. The consensus was: Don't worry about getting vaccinated;
You probably are better off without it. '-Washington Star, October 6, 1957.
Quoting
from the Drug Story, now in its sixteenth printing, we read on pages 150-151:
"Some physicians are a little blunt in appraising the monetary value of
medical ads and customs. . Dr. Matthew Pfeifenberger, when he was president of
the Illinois State Medical Society .. spoke before the annual conference of
Illinois Health officers at Alton . . He said, '. . I am informed that epidemics
and infections cause only 12% of all deaths and that the percentage is
declining rapidly. Only 15% of all children would ever get diphtheria, even
under epidemic conditions, while 100% are prospects for antitoxin.
...
Consider the statement of Guy L. Keefer, M.D., when lie was Commissioner of
Health for Michigan. in an article published in the Journal of the Michigan
State Medical Society, he said:
'With
100,000 babies born every year the increase in the physicians' income for
diphtheria antitoxin would be from a quarter to three quarters of a million
dollars if we could immunize all children against this disease soon after they
are six months old. There would an additional $200,000 if we could immunize them
against smallpox. Immunization against other diseases would help increase the
earnings of the physicians who actively sponsor this modern type of practice.'
"In
the year 1945 the larger serum companies of the United States reputedly made net
profits of something like $143,000,000. These are facts quoted from Newsweek
Magazine.'
OBSERVATIONS
AND FACTS
Medically
speaking, it would be presumption for a nurse to pretend that she knows as
much as a medical doctor. Nevertheless, speaking from the standpoint of
hygiene, logic, and just good, common sense, one who is not even a nurse but who
has studied the Divine Blueprint of anatomy and physiology so comprehensively
outlined by the Great Physician and Designer, will know how to preserve his own
body in health. He will also know how to help his neighbor recover his health
without recourse to harmful drugs.
Working
in the illumination of the Light which has shone on our pathway for over a
hundred years, what methods could have been used on the patient, whose case we
have earlier spoken of in this study which would not have had these deleterious
side effects?
-What
methods would have accomplished the desired results while working in harmony
with the laws of her being? The Equinil was given for its tranquilizing and
depressant effects-although,
in this particular case, the patient was already depressed and apathetic. A
prolonged neutral bath would have been soothing and relaxing. At the same time
it would have been conducive to the elimination of body wastes through the
skin. Naturally, a good internal bath should have preceded this so the blood
as it circulated through the body would not pick up colon wastes to distribute
through the tissues and organs. There are many other hydrotherapy procedures
which would have performed the same function.
Cleansing
of toxic substances and wastes from the body is a primary factor in the
elimination of disease. At the Battle Creek Sanitarium one day a visitor stopped
at the dining room door where Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, medical director of
this world-renowned health institution, was standing. Looking over the many
patients seated at the tables, he turned to Dr. Kellogg and asked, "What
ails most of these people?" Kellogg replied softly, "Dirty
bowels." A significant cause of most disease is nothing more than
accumulated waste deposits in the different organs and tissues.
When
the body (with no help from the head) puts forth a heroic effort to rid itself o
its accumulated debris, and Nature presents the distress signals of pain,
swelling, abscesses, etc., we today, are very unlogical in our reaction to all
this. Instead of cleaning out the body with colonic irrigations, sweat baths,
forced fluids, etc., we give a poisonous drug to suppress the symptoms, and
eventually
even normal body functions collapse, and we have a heart attack or cancer or
death. Many modern doctors regard enema equipment or a colonic machine as
archaic apparatus. I know it to be a fact that many patients in the hospitals
have to beg for an enema, and when the order is reluctantly given and the body
has been relieved of its load of retained poisonous substances, recovery is
quite rapid.
Tranquilizers,
such as Equinil or similar brands, are given routinely to some patients, and
taken without doctor's orders by many people. Yet, frequently there appear
news items warning of the danger of these medications. In the Washington Evening
Star of October 31, 1956, Dr. Kramer, chief of the biometrics branch of the
National Institute of Public Health, is quoted from an article in a Public
Health Service publication. He warns that recent facts indicate that certain
contraindications [negative side effects] of these drugs may well stand as a
warning against their use. He also cites a report on the use of chlorpromazine
which he says raises a question "of whether the tranquilizing drugs may
have an adverse effect on the expectation of life [length of life] of persons
treated with them."
While
on nursing duty on some floors, I have had to fairly run the whole eight hours
to get all of the prescribed medications and injections given on my wing.
Patients are so well educated by such a regime that when a nurse enters a
patient's room with a tray full of needles, the patient will docilely and
automatically expose the areas that are routinely injected. Many patients
facetiously refer to themselves as human pincushions, and these are often the
ones who go on a continual round of the hospitals, always looking for help,
while adding poison to poison and "constantly losing their hold on
life."
VITAMINS-NATURAL,
CRYSTALLINE AND SYNTHETIC
In
regard to the Vitamin B injection given to my patient (which is fairly routine
with many doctors), Dr. Calmer Funk, the originator of the method of
concentrating Vitamin B, now admits that the "synthetic product is less
effective and more toxic." For example vitamin B-1 (thiamine) in small
doses can cure herpes zoster (shingles), but large doses can cause herpes zoster-see
the Journal of the American Medical Association, "Herpes Zoster Treatment
with 2 Thiamine Chloride," by M.J. Goodman, 2 October 4, 1939. In addition,
Bicknell and Prescott in "The Vitamins in Medicine" show that
"a defiiency of Vitamin B-1 causes symptoms similar to hyperthyroidism;
whereas an excess of the same vitamin caused similar symptoms. " According
to Swedish investigators, Carlstrom and Longren, in Acta. Med. Scand.
105:504-600, 1940, "There is an increase of peruvic acid (a fatigue poison)
in the blood of certain patients after prolonged treatment with B-1." In
the Journal of the American Medical Association for June, 1943, an article
entitled, "Hypervitiminotic Gall Stones," points out that thiamine
can cause gall stones.
The
laity at large does not distinguish between natural, crystalline, and
synthetic vitamins. They do not realize that the natural vitamins put in our
food by the hand of the Creator function in complex groups having synergistic
relations to each other and to other food factors, such as enzymes,
co-enzymes, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and minerals. -They must all be
present for perfect metabolism. In the crystalline and synthetic vitamins
(such as are usually medically administered the LIFE principle is absent,
having been destroyed in them. So while they may give a 'lift' for a short
period-if taken over a long period without the support of an abundance of the
natural vitamin complexes-they cause the very symptoms they were given to
relieve. Whenever, by man-made inventions, we upset the delicate balance of
nature, we must pay the penalty.
It
is in keeping with our discussion to point out here that Dr. W.C. Heuper, Chief
of the Environmental Cancer Section, National Cancer Institute, U.S.
Department of Health, Education and Welfare, in his paper read at the 1956
Cancer Symposium in Rome, included both antibiotics (fed to food animals and
added to food stuffs) and coal tars as two items in a significant listing of
carcinogens (chemicals or irritants that induce cancer development in the
body). Toluene, a coal tar derivative, is one of the solvents used in making
crystalline vitamins.
As
to the estrogenic hormone injection that this patient received twice a week,
it is common knowledge that hormone administrations often accelerate tumor
growths. Aspirin, of course, is given to practically every patient who complains
of a pain. In addition to its connection with coal tar, Adelle Davis in her
book, Let's Eat Right to Keep Fit, reports findings that aspirin has the quality
of destroying Vitamin C in the body for three weeks after the drug has been
given.
But
what could have substituted for that synthetic or crystalline Vitamin B
injection? On her breakfast tray this patient could have been served cereal made
from freshly ground, organically grown whole grain and other foods containing
the B-complex, instead of the degerminated, devitalized cereal so often
served.
What
could have been administered in place of the allergy-producing antibiotics?
Dr. Klenner, Chief of Staff of the Memorial Hospital in Reidsville, N.C. speaks
of Vitamin C as "the antibiotic par excellence. " A physician who has
obtained striking results in treating polio with Vitamin C at the Los Angeles
County Hospital matched Dr. Klenner's enthusiasm with the remark, "If
anything should be called a miracle drug, it is Vitamin C "
These
quotations and examples of patients treated with Vitamin C and their marvelous
and quick recoveries are to be found in Adelle Davis' book Let's Eat Right to
Keep Fit, in the chapter entitled "A finger in Every Pie." G.K.
Abbott, M.D., in his book, The Witness of Science, the chapter on
"Infantile Paralysis," tells us: 'Ascorbic acid I Vitamin C/ has
proven capable of inactivating by direct contact in vitro every toxin and virus
that has been investigated." Again, "The virus of poliomyelitis has
'an exquisite susceptibility' to oxidizing agents, among which Vitamin C is
preeminent, because it is a natural nutritional element destroying the virus in
vivo, the latter as shown by twice as many recoveries when monkeys are treated
with synthetic Vitamin C over the controls.
In
the use of the NATURAL Vitamin C, the nonparalytic survivors are six times as
many as the untreated controls. Vitamin C, therefore, takes a definite part in
natural resistance to the virus. Here, then, is another method of natural
resistance and immunity besides phagocytosis, antitoxins, and other
antibiotics.' This method of treating polio has the approval of Heaven, but
one can hardly think Heaven's approval rests upon this advice found in some of
our own publications, "Do your part in seeing that every man, woman, and
child receives Salk Vaccine," when the Lord has provided in His non-toxic
nutritional program both the prevention and cure for polio.
When
the Lord removed the Tree of Life, I believe He planted the lemon tree to
provide us with that which we need to detoxify the body and restore the body's
vital resources. When man-made drugs attempt to take over the work of the body's
natural defenses, outraged Nature often ceases to resist and permits the wonder
drug to do its destroying work.
