"Now people say to me, "Look, Doc, every member of my family has got Alzheimer’s Disease, and doctors tell me that it is genetic." Well, it’s not genetic, and I’m going to prove that to you in a second, but if you have every family member who has got Alzheimer’s Disease, that means you have the same family physician. You want to get a new doctor. "

"Your brain is 75% pure cholesterol. And if you are really good at giving up cholesterol, and you are painstakingly careful about eliminating cholesterol in your diet, what’s going to happen in about 10 to 12 years? You only make 10%. Well, you start losing that myelin, that insulating stuff out of your brain, again it makes up 75% of your brain weight, and the old squashola goes and you get Alzheimer’s Disease. "

"You can prevent Alzheimer’s Disease, you can reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s Disease to almost zero: --

• if you eat two eggs every morning, soft scrambled, poached or soft boiled every morning, not fried.
• And certainly no fried foods.
• And you want to take in all 90 essential nutrients,

  		60 minerals,
  		16 vitamins, 12 essential amino acids or protein building block, and
  		3 essential fatty acids.

• you want to make sure you are taking in 1200 to 2000 units of Vitamin E everyday if you have Alzheimer’s in your family.

"We learned in 1957 from a turkey study, where they took 250,000 turkeys, and they put them on a complete turkey pellet trying to get them finished for market within a few days or week or so of each other. And in the first 13 weeks, fully half of them, 125,000 of them died. Farmers were out there every morning, they picked them up every morning by the bushel basket full and took them to the State Diagnostic Lab to see what they died from, and when they opened them up, every one of them had died of a ruptured aortic aneurysm. And one of the clever pathologists said "That’s got to be due to a copper deficiency, cause copper is required to manufacture the elastic fibers of arteries and skin and other tissues. And the mechanism of an aneurysm is identical to the mechanism of a balloon or weakened wall of a tire. You know when you hit a chuckhole with your tire and you break the cords, the internal pressure blows a balloon, you overload that tire with weight, or heat it up on a highway, it blows out. Same way with an aneurysm. When you have a copper deficiency, you get a breakdown in the elastic fibers in that artery, the internal pressure, even normal blood pressure, will blow a balloon in that artery, and a balloon in that artery is called an aneurysm. And of course, if it is in a strategic place, like

• the brain,
• carotid artery,
• the coronary artery,
• the large arteries,
• aorta,
• pulmonary arteries,
• renal arteries,

"Number 1 -- 75-80% of all Americans over the age of 50 get arthritis to one degree or one type or another, and according to the CDC, the Center for Disease Control, 35 to 50 million baby-boomers are going to get arthritis in the next 7 to 10 years and there’s not a single medical treatment designed to treat or fix it.

• Aspirin certainly doesn’t fix arthritis, it causes gastric bleeding and death.
• Tylenol doesn’t fix arthritis, there’s 50,000 cases of kidney failure each year, 5,000 so severe you need a kidney transplant.
• Then there’s Ibuprofen, Advil, and Aleve, these things don’t fix arthritis, and they cause liver disease in 2-5% of users including liver sclerosis, even if you don’t drink.
• And then there’s metholtrexate(?) and gold shots(?). These things don’t fix arthritis, they subdue your bone marrow so that you can’t make normal platelets and white blood cells.
• Then you have the grand daddy of all medical treatments for arthritis, Prednizone and Cortisone. They don’t fix arthritis. They subdue your immune system which leaves you open to diseases far, far more horrible than arthritis, and Prednizone and Cortisone accelerates the loss of minerals from your bone. Something you don’t want when you have osteoporosis and arthritis. "

"When these prescription medications and over-the-counter medications don’t work anymore to relieve pain and inflammation, the only thing left for you medically is joint-replacement surgery. And I never liked to send my patients in for joint-replacement surgery, cause they never work out well. In fact, many times you are worse off after the surgery than you were before the surgery. "

"The advantage my patients have always had is that I’m a veterinarian as well as a physician. So I always used to tell my patients "Look, we have all these nutritional formulas designed to prevent and cure disease in animals, including arthritis, and so I tried adapting nutritional arthritis formulas designed to prevent and cure arthritis in pigeons and turkeys, dogs and cats, sheep, pigs, horses, cows, lions, tigers and bears to human use. It was no surprise to me, it works just as well in humans as it does in animals, because it was designed to prevent and cure arthritis in pigs. And of course it has some really nifty stuff in it, which I have been telling people to use for 20 years, and I have literally seen tens of thousands of people who have had a regrowth of cartilage, ligaments, tendons, connective tissue, bone foundation, bone matrix. Doesn’t matter if they are 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, I’ve seen people 97 years old regrow cartilage and bone, even if they had bone to bone arthritis. If there’s blood supply to that joint and that bone, they will regrow bone and cartilage."

"Well, Harvard Medical School goes berserk when you say stuff like that. "Wallach, you can’t say those things! And the only thing left when they get bone to bone arthritis is joint-replacement surgery." And I would agree with him if the only raw materials you are using is Tylenol and Aspirin and Prednizone and Cortisone. We have learned over 50 years that you can’t regrow cartilage and bones using those things. "

"Now one of the basic things, of course, that the Harvard Medical School jumped on and said "this is so ridiculous that this couldn’t work!" And so they took 29 arthritis patients who had not responded in any way to heroic medical treatment for arthritis over 15 to 20 years. They took them off their medication, it wasn’t working anyway, lined them up for joint-replacement surgery, and for 90 days before their surgery they gave them heaping tablespoon of ground up chicken cartilage in their orange juice every morning for 90 days. They were sort of chuckling in their beer saying "nothing is going to happen". Well, here’s what happened. In 10 days these people had complete relief of pain inflammation that they hadn’t had in 15 to 20 years. In 30 days they could open up a new pickle jar that had never been opened without pain to the fingers, wrists, elbows and shoulders. In 90 days 28 of the 29 were clinically cured. Now this is from the Harvard Medical School and the Boston VA. That meant that they had complete return, 100% return, of the range of motion, all of the pain and inflammation was gone, in their fingers and toes and hips and knees and neck, and certainly many of them still had knots on their fingers, cause it was only 90 days, and you would think they would call me up, these professors from Harvard Medical School and from the Boston VA, and say "Look, Wallach, we have to apologize to you. We’ve been bad-mouthing you for 20 years and why don’t you come up to Boston, let’s talk about the whole thing?" Here’s what they said, "After 3 months it was clear that the drug was beneficial."

"Chicken cartilage had become a drug in 90 days! Now why would that happen? Well, because you can’t patent chicken cartilage, and they convinced the US Patent Office that they were using a drug to do this study, and they actually got a use-patent on chicken cartilage. And you, too, for $3,500 a month, can get Harvard Medical School’s chicken cartilage in a capsule for arthritis. (You can get it for 30 cents a day... ha, ha). That’s kind of interesting. And of course, cartilage or gelatine, has

• chondroitin sulfate in it,
• glucosamine sulfate,
• collagen,

• Osteoporosis:
  "Let’s look at Osteoporosis, the Number 10 killer of adults in the United States. Remember, 75% of those over the age of 65 who fracture a hip or leg bone don’t live 90 days. Also, it’s the most horrible disease when it comes to human misery and dollars expended -- Osteoporosis. Think of the special vans, and the lift gates, and the ramps and the elevators, the special plumbing in homes and public buildings. Special parking places, wheelchairs and walkers and canes. Think of the beds and the chairs with little electric motors to lift you up when you can’t stand up by yourself. Physical therapists, joint replacement surgery, pharmaceuticals, doctor’s visits. We’re talking billions and billions of dollars for nothing more than a calcium deficiency disease. Now as horrible a disease as Osteoporosis is, in human beings, we don’t have Osteoporosis in animals because we don’t have Blue Cross, Blue Shield, major medical hospitalization, Medicare and Medicaid to pay for non-essential surgical treatments for mineral deficiency, we’ve learned that by putting animals who are weaned off their mother’s milk onto 10 cents of calcium as soon as they are weaned, they won’t get arthritis or Osteoporosis. It’s amazing how that works."
  
  
• Receding gums / gingivitis:
  "Then, there’s receding gums, dentists and periodontists will tell you that if you want to prevent and cure receding gums you had better floss and brush after every meal. If you believe that works, I have some ocean-front property in Montana to sell you. You all know your geography, you know that doesn’t work. Now as a veterinarian, I’ve seen hundreds of thousands of animals of all kind, mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, cats, sheep, pigs, horses, lions, tigers, bears, and they don’t get receding gums. And they don’t floss. But they do get flunky breath, but they don’t get receding gums. Boy if you want to smell something you just let a camel breathe on you. Well, the reason we don’t have receding gums in livestock is because we’ve dealt with the Osteoporosis problem. Receding gums is not a deficiency of flossing, it is, in fact, Osteoporosis of the jawbones and the facial bones. So if you have gingivitis or receding gums, you have advanced Osteoporosis. Those bones around your teeth are melting away, little bit by little bit everyday. And if you take your teeth out at night and put in a glass next to your bed in that fizzy stuff, you have major, advanced Osteoporosis because all your bone has melted away."
  
  
• Arthritis:
  "85% of all arthritis is called wear and tear arthritis. Osteo arthritis, degenerative arthritis, ankleospinalitis(?). These things are nothing more than Osteoporosis of the joint ends of the bones."
  
  
• Hypertension / high blood pressure
  Then there is hypertension. This is one of my favorites, so I’ll put a star over here. Hypertension is high blood pressure. What’s the first nutritional thing your doctor will tell you to give up when you get high blood pressure? Salt. Everybody knows that one, it has been ingrained in our heads. Well, they must think we are dumber than cows, because what is the first thing you put out for your cows, and it’s about that big? A salt block. No farmer is going to be economically viable if you don’t put a salt block out for your livestock. They’re going to die. They’re going to get their veterinary bill and they are going to go crazy. Now we’re supposed to believe that we don’t need salt, that we can get everything we need out of your lettuce and your whole wheat bread, and stuff like that. Well don’t believe that one either. If you believe that, I’ve got some more ocean front property in Montana. Remember, those long-lived people put a big chunk of rock salt the size of a big black Concorde grape in every cup of tea, and they drink about 40 cups of tea a day cause they live at high altitudes where it is very dry, and they have to keep hydrated. And they put butter in their tea. They put two pats of butter and chunks of rock salt. They don’t put the pink stuff or the blue stuff, or skim milk, or Creamora, or whatever it is. Guess what? The doctors who lived to be 58 tell you, "No salt, no butter". The people who live to be 120, they put in butter and salt. You have got to make some choices.

  They took 30 million dollars of your tax money, and two years ago, after a 20 year study, they came out and said that they took 5,000 people with high blood pressure. They took them off their medication, and put them on a reduced salt diet, a restricted salt diet, and they all died. No big surprise. But somebody got a PH.D. degree and everybody was happy, right? But when they looked at this result, they said, "Oh, only 99.7% of the people didn’t get any results from that before they died. 0.3% did get some results, dropped their blood pressure 1 point before they died, by restricting their salt." So the referees said, "Oh, doesn’t matter. You might as well let high blood pressure patients eat salted peanuts, and dill pickles, and salt to their food to taste, cause it doesn’t matter. In fact, worrying about the salt is more stress than taking the salt.

  Then they had a controlled group with 5,000 people with high blood pressure and they doubled their RDA of calcium and they stopped their experiment in 6 weeks. Cause 85% of them were cured of their high blood pressure, just by doubling their calcium intake.

  Now they didn’t, cold turkey, stop their high blood pressure medication, what they did was, they went to the doctor and he said, "You don’t need this medication anymore. What are you doing?"

  "Well, I’m on this experiment where I double my calcium intake."

  Anybody get a recall notice from your doctor saying it’s okay to salt your food to taste, and please do double your calcium intake? Anybody get that? Not a single one. It’s very interesting.

• Insomnia:
  Then, of course, there’s insomnia. That’s where you roll around all night, and when you wake up in the morning you’re more tired than when you went to bed. That’s insomnia. Of course doctors have two treatments for that. They have Halcyon, which is sleeping pill, and they have barbiturates. They kill about 10,000 people a year with overdoses of those things. But that’s okay, it’s in prescription, and they’re watching out for us. Remember George Bush when he went to Japan. They gave him some Halcyon so he could sleep on the way to Japan cause of the time difference, and when he woke up, one of the side effects of Halcyon is nausea and vomiting. I don’t know how you say it in Japanese, but it was very dramatic on world TV, right? Not very presidential. I’m sure that’s why he lost the election, cause he puked over that Japanese Ambassador. (calcium).
  
  
• Kidney stones/bone spurs/heel spurs/calcium deposits:
  "Again, the medical profession has the malignant dumb belief that these things are due to too much calcium in your diet, try to give up calcium. When, in fact, you only get kidney stones/bone spurs/heel spurs and calcium deposits when you have raging osteoporosis. You actually need more calcium, more magnesium, not less."
  
  
• Muscle Cramps and twitches
  Then there’s cramps and twitches. You wake up in the middle of the night and your foot is all cramped up around your neck, you say, "Lord, take me from the knee down. I'm not going to make it until morning". We’ve all experienced that. It’s very common.

  The one that bothered me when I was a teenager, was twitches. My eyelids used to twitch. I’d look in the mirror and I’d say, "Do people see that? Or is that just my imagination?" Sure enough, I could see it actually twitching. So I showed my Mom and she got panicked, you know. This was during the early ’50’s, and she grabbed me by the shirt and took me down to this lady doctor, I’ll never forget, her name was Mary Jane Skepington. And she had me sit down in my jockey underwear on those little stainless steel stool that you can wrench down and up, and sitting there in my jockey underwear for an hour, she’d look in my eye for 10 or 15 minutes. She couldn’t figure it out, so she would go on to another patient and come back. I knew she was lost. Today that would be sexual harassment, sitting there naked for an hour in the doctor’s office. But then I knew she was just lost. So I said, "Look, Doc, I’m a man (I was 14 years old), and I play football and I’m on the wrestling team and the weight-lifting team in my highschool. If you have to amputate my eyelids, just do it!" She got the picture. She went in her office, she had a Maybelline Mascara eyelash brush and a little mirror. I kind of looked at her and said, "What's that for?" And she said, "The only thing I can figure out is that your eyelashes have curled back and is tickling your eyeballs and that is what is making your eyelids twitch. So what I want you to do is to retrain your eyelashes with this Maybelline Mascara brush." I said "Wait a minute, Doc, you want me to sit on the bench, during the..., when the team...., you know, and you want me to do this? Oh the team will kill me! You’ve got to be kidding. So I put on my pants, and I leave, and I go to the school library, and I get out a health book, written by two nurses, and I look up muscle cramps and muscle twitches, and it says "calcium deficiency"! So I knew when I was 14 years old that doctors didn’t know anything about nutrition. And it hasn’t changed, believe me. Oh, I forgot to tell you how I fixed it. I went home and I grabbed some of those calf pellets, and after eating a handful a day for 3 days they were all gone and never came back. So if you see me with a handful of stuff bulging in my pocket, you know it’s calf pellets.

• PMS:
  "The University of California, San Diego, 8 years ago now, came out and said that 85% of the emotional and physical stuff of PMS can be relieved, eliminated and cured by taking 3 times the RDA of calcium."
  
  
• Low back pain:
  "Has nothing to do with disk problems. I know you have heard of people, may be even yourself who have had disk surgery for back pain, and after the surgery still had the pain, may be even worse. Because back pain is not caused by disk problems. If you have a disk problem, you can have numbness and tingling, maybe even paralysis if it’s very severe, but disk problems do not cause pain. If you have low back pain, the odds are you have cramps and spasms in the large muscle group, inside and outside your lower back. These can sublexate(?), or hit the line in your vertebrae and be uncomfortable, cause a lot of pain. You also have bone spurs, calcium deposits, arthritis, osteoporosis. These are the things that cause low back pain. Now you’re educated, you’re never going to say "Doc, you’re the doctor", because you’ve gone through this lecture tonight, and unfortunately most Americans have not heard this lecture yet, and as a result, they will spend between $25,000 and $250,000 and voluntarily undergo 5 to 10 surgical procedures for nothing more than the top ten calcium deficiencies. In any other industry that would be fraud and they would be shut down. Something you can fix for 25 cents and you walk out with a $5,000 bill, you would be ticked off. You would want to talk to the manager. You would want your money back. You would call the Better Business Bureau. You would call the State Attorney General. You’d complain. Class action suit. It would be a big mess. But the medical profession, everybody just runs to the government and says we need more money to pay for it. Kind of fascinating."

Now certainly the scariest disease in the United States is cancer. Everybody is very horrified when you talk about cancer. People get nervous. And in my tape ":Dead Doctors Don’t Lie" I talked about the anti-cancer diet that was found. In September, 1993, the National Cancer Institute, not the National Enquirer, and the Harvard Medical School in Boston did a study on Cancer patients, and they came out and said an anti-cancer diet was found. Everybody goes berserk when I say things like that, "No, there’s no such thing as an anti-cancer diet", and there you see it. This is a newspaper article, it was actually a news release by the National Cancer Institute. (If you get a half percent benefit in any nutritional or pharmaceutical experiment, you have made a major improvement in humanity’s life. So these articles get published. I want you to remember that statistic. Half a percent is major benefit).

They did a five year study in Henan Province in China, and they chose to go to Henan Province in China because it had the highest rate of cancer in the whole world. They took 29,000 normal healthy people, between the ages of 40 and 69, divided them up into small groups, gave each group a different vitamin, different mineral, combinations of vitamins and minerals, to see if any nutrient or combination of nutrients would reduce this horrible rate of cancer in Henan Province.

What they found out was, if you take a single vitamin, don’t expect too much positive to happen. We’re not too surprised at that. Lynus Pauling, one of our favorite sons here in California, two Nobel Prizes, took 10,000 mg of Vitamin C everyday for 35 years, and still died of prostate cancer at age 93, 7 years short of the magic number of 100.

Well they did find one group that showed significant benefit. This group, had 20 cents a day worth of 3 nutrients, pitifully low dose, double the American RDA, -

• Beta Carotene,
• Vitamin E, and
• the trace mineral Selenium.

• Beta Carotene,
• Vitamin E, and
• Selenium.

How many of you here have ever heard of a guy by the name of Stewart Berger? He wrote 5 best-selling books on diet, and health and nutrition. He got his degree from Tuft Medical School, which is a very fine medical school in Boston, not too far away from Harvard Medical School. And the books he wrote, "The Southhampton Diet for Weight Loss", he wrote "Forever Young," "20 years Younger in 20 weeks", and "How to be your own Nutritionist". And he died at age 40. How would you like to follow his dietary practices? He died at age 40 of cardiomyopathy, which is a Selenium deficiency. The same as white muscle disease, or stiff lamb disease, and any farmer can go to a feed store and get Selenium pellets or Selenium injections, things like Seletok and Bozie. And Dr. Stewart Berger, a fellow who wrote 5 best-selling books on nutrition, died of a nutritional deficiency. He didn't have expensive urine.

You can prevent, totally prevent, cardiomyopathy for ten cents a day. And if we don’t do it, we are malignant dumb, I like to call it. Malignant dumb if you don’t take in ten cents a day of Selenium. It’s a waste of your life. It’s one of those landmines that you can avoid.

The medical treatment of choice for cardiomyopathy is a heart transplant, costs $750,000. I want you to think about that. They get the heart free from a donor, they get the blood free for the surgery from the relatives. They use $2.50 of suture material, and they charge you $750,000 for that procedure. Now 6 months ago in LA when they had the earthquake, they were putting people in jail for 60 and 90 days for price-gouging, for selling these terrified people a gallon of water for $4.00. They put them in jail for price-gouging, for selling them a gallon of water for four bucks. Now to me that's entrepeneurealism. That's being in business for yourself. If you had a way to distill water and make water and you had a car and you could get in there and sell those people a gallon of water for $4, more power to you. Because if you go to a 7-Eleven and buy a quart of Evian water it’s $1.29. So four of those quarts is $5.00. Kind of interesting, isn’t it? And they said it was price-gouging because those people were terrified.

Well talk about a person who needs a new heart, they’re terrified. $750,000, we should put those doctors in jail. But we bow to them because it is high-tech medicine. Out of 250,000,000 people in America they save about 50 a year. Is that cost effective? I don’t think so. Any rate, Dr. Stewart Berger didn’t have expensive urine.

Now here’s the last one, and many of you might know this woman. Her name is Dr. Gail Clark. She was aged 47. She was the Chief Cardiologist at W. St. Louis County group of hospitals. She was the Chief Cardiologist for the St. Mary’s Health Center in Richmond Heights, in St. Louis County. Guess what she died from? Heart attack. Cardiomyopathy heart attack. You can just see her walking down the hall, she’s got the stethoscope around her neck. This is her little status symbol, got my stethoscope around my neck. Back while I was in school they folded it up very bravely and put it in their pocket. Run! She has a heart attack, she falls down right in the hall. And of course the nurses scoop her up and put her on a gurney, and they call the technicians, and another doctor, "Code 3, Code 3, Code Blue", whatever it is. And they whip her into the room, and lets say you are a cardiac patient, you’re laying there, you’re all hooked up to the monitors and the IV’s, and you hear them say, "Okay, get her clothes off. Okay, stand back. Didn’t work, turn it up. Stand back. And then you hear that terrible sound when you know that the treatment didn’t work. The flat line when you know the heart is gone. And everybody walks out of the room dejected, and you say, "Nurse, nurse, what happened next door?" And she says, "Well, your cardiologist, you know, the Chief Cardiologist for this hospital, aged 47, Dr. Gail Clark, just died of a cardiomyopathy heart attack." You can see all the patients are holding their gowns, and they’re running out of that hospital, leaving their watches and their shoes and their checkbooks and their plastic credit cards, cause they don’t want to get what Dr. Gail Clark got. (My Mommy sent me that one).

Lastly, on that subject, how many have ever heard of Reggie Lewis? Reggie Lewis was a great athlete, he didn’t use four letter words, didn’t use drugs. Not a bad word came out of his mouth. In April, 1993, he collapsed on the floor during a game with the San Antonio Spurs, and his diagnosis was cardiomyopathy. Now because he was an athlete and in good shape, he survived that first heart attack. The Boston Celtics paid 12 cardiologists a million dollars each on the front end to save Reggie. Save Reggie, they spent 12 million bucks. They didn’t take 20 dollars and send a medical student to the library to find out what are all the causes of cardiomyopathy, they just argued and bickered over who was going to get famous and rich by doing the heart surgery, the transplant, on Reggie. Well, July 28, 1993, Reggie died of his cardiomyopathy. Now here is a 65 million dollar a year athlete, and they paid 12 million dollars for 12 cardiologists to save him. What chance do you think you have, in a hospital where the cardiologist needs a Mercedes payment or has 5 ex-wives to pay. He’s not going to give you ten cents a day of Selenium. He wants $750,000. He earned it! He went to medical school for eight years! Well if you believe that’s true, then you just go right ahead and get in line. But if you object to that, don’t get in line, and take your Selenium.

Well why does this go on? Even though we know that these things are wrong, (we inherently know that), and we know that there’s the Truth out there, we see it in the newspaper everyday. Why does it go on? Well there is a five-letter word that’s worse than any four letter word, it’s M-O-N-E-Y. And I’m not against people making a living or making money. There’s nothing wrong with that. But when you injure other people to get it, then there’s something wrong with it.

Any rate, this is illustrated by an article that was in the Washington Post, November 2, 1992, and the title of the article is "Lining Doc's Pockets". The first paragraph says, "If you go to your doctor, you want him to think of you as a patient, not a cash cow, but 2 studies in this month’s New England Journal of Medicine showed that doctors are out to milk you dry." I couldn’t believe that doctors would write that in their own medical journal, so I went to the medical school in San Diego, at La Hoya, and took out those articles out of the library, and sure enough, they were in there, but they were written by two PH.D. hospital directors, administrators.

What they said was, "Hey, it’s not paperwork, it’s not insurance, it’s not all this computer stuff that’s running the cost up of healthcare. It’s you doctors, because there is a lot of things you can do in your office for $50. But instead, when a person has good insurance, you say to them, "Well, I can’t quite tell what’s wrong. You’ve got good insurance, let’s check you into the hospital for a week or ten days and run some tests." Well who do you think owns the hospital? The doctor! The doctor does, and so he is referring you in there to make sure those beds are full, and all the overhead is taken care of. Remember, when you pay the doctor bill, where does it go? Well it’s gotten so bad that even the Reader's Digest has jumped on the bandwagon. To me the Reader’s Digest is a magazine that never says anything negative or bad about anybody or any group. It is the sweetest little magazine that ever was. September,1993, issue features an article that says,"Can you trust your doctor?" It lists 12 ways the doctors scam your money. I’ll let you read 11 of them yourself. I’ll give you the worst one.

In addition to their income from office fees, and surgical fees, and lab fees, and hospitalization, doctors get a kickback from the labs, and the x-ray labs, and clinics and hospitals, $421 everytime they send you in for a Catscan, or an MRI. And doctors tell you, "Oh we do that because we're practicing defensive medicine. Cause if I miss something, one in ten billion, you're going to sue me. So I do this just to protect myself." Well, if it was just to protect themselves, and you knew them, and they knew you, 90% of the people say, "Ah just skip it Doc," you don't really think it's necessary, let's save the money. But they've got something more than defensive medicine to worry about. They get $421 and a kickback for every time they send you in for an MRI or a Catscan.

Well, when I practiced for 12 years up in Portland, somebody came to me with a terrible headache, never had one, I just walk up to them and tap them on the sinuses, and if they collapse to their knees, I know they had a sinus headache. "Oh, Doc, why did you do that?" "Well, that’s a cheap lab test." If they had blood dripping out of their nose, I would take a $35 x-ray to see if they had a Cancer in there. $35 and a free lab test, as opposed to $421. If I wanted to make that $421, I’d have been a good thief, but I would have gone out and built a chute right into that Catscan machine, cause I knew how to build chutes, living on a farm, and I’d have gone out in the street and I’d have gotten every homeless person. I’d line them up in those chutes, and I’d say, "I’m going to buy you a $1.50 dinner, I’m a good guy, you just got to go through this chute, go through that tube, and you get your sandwich and your soup." Man, they would be flowing through there. Maybe 100 a day. And I could start adding some things up. It would be a lot of fun. Any rate, the average doctor gets $228,660 a year Catscan kickbacks. A quarter of a million dollars a year. And any other industry if you’d do that, politicians, lawyers, business men, stock brokers, THEY GET PUT IN JAIL. But doctors, it’s okay. Because insurance pays for it. Hilary will pay for it. We don’t mind if they steal us blind. It’s free.

But at any rate, there’s always this 2% who are bean counters. They say "Doc, we love you and respect you, but we read in Cosmopolitan Magazine, or our cardiologist told us that you might as well shoot people in the head as have two eggs every morning for breakfast because of all the cholesterol and heart disease."

Well, I’ve been vindicated in this one. This is a study that was published Nov. 15, 1995. It was the annual meeting of none other than the American Heart Assoc. in Anaheim, CA., not the National Enquirer, but the American Heart Association. They finally did the study they should have done 50 years ago. We did it in animals, so I never believed that cholesterol was the boogey-man that they would have you believe. They took 141 healthy volunteers with an average blood cholesterol of 227. Now I get a lot of people come to me and say "Doc, you’ve got to help me find something natural to get my cholesterol down, it’s terribly high and cardiologists want to give you this cholesterol-lowering drugs that will kill you. Kill your liver and make you blind." And I say "Gosh, well how high is your cholesterol?" And they say "it’s 240". Well, the normal blood cholesterol range is between 220 and 270. So if you have a blood cholesterol of 240 and you get a cardiologist or an internist who is trying to get your blood cholesterol down below 200, you want to find a new doctor. Don’t buy into that.

At any rate, for six months they had these 141 normal healthy people with an average blood cholesterol of 227, they had them eat 2 eggs every morning for breakfast. At the end of 6 months they redid their cholesterol, and of course, their cholesterol did go up. But it went up from 227 to 233. It went up a whopping 6 points! Here’s what the American Heart Association said after the six months’ study, at their annual meeting, Anaheim, CA., Nov. 15, 1995: "We always assume that eggs were bad for you because eggs contain cholesterol. But it now appears after this simple study that two eggs won’t hurt." The American Heart Association.

So, as I tell you to eat two eggs to deal with a particular disease later on, it’s been approved by the American Heart Association, so don’t be shocked.

• Gray hair -
  The very first symptom of copper deficiency in human beings is white, gray and silver hair. Copper is required as a co-factor to manufacture hair pigment, doesn’t matter whether it is red, blonde, brown or black hair, and I see a lot of copper deficiency in this room. I can almost tell you which people, men and women, have colored their hair. I’m good at that, being a physician, and you don’t want to be like a medical doctor and just treat the symptoms. If you are coloring your hair, you are just treating the symptoms. You need to do the basic things, take some colloidal copper, and if you don’t what’s going to happen is, you get a breakdown in the elastic fibers of your skin, and you begin getting crows’ feet around the corners of your eyes and mouth,
• Sagging body parts -
  parts of your anatomy begin to sag, and you know you’re in trouble when your doctor tells you I’ve got a golf buddy down the hall who is a plastic surgeon. And for $10,000 he’ll make you look 20 years younger. But you don’t need face-life, a booby-lift, a tummy-tuck, or a derriere-lift. All you need is some colloidal copper and everything will come back up, just like you had a hydraulic jack under it. It will just come right back up. Those elastic fibers tighten right up. They’ll say, "Francine, did you get a face lift? You look like you are 20 years younger."
• Varicose veins -
  Now if you don’t take some action at that point, the next thing that happens is, breakdown in your elastic fibers in the large veins of your legs and you get varicose veins.
• Hemorrhoids -
  You don’t take action at that point, you get a breakdown in the large veins of your exhaust pipe and you get hemorrhoids.

Just remember, people don’t die suddenly of an aneurysm, it may be you drop and die. Think about Albert Einstein. He died of a ruptured aortic aneurysm at 68 years of age. What color was his hair? He was famous for wild, white hair, wasn’t he? Now you would like to think that people who win the Nobel Prize in Medicine at least live to be 75.5, but they live to be 58 just like other doctors. And that’s because they are trained, and they believe, and practice that they can get everything you need from your four food groups. Doesn’t matter if you win the Nobel Prize or not.

This guy, Dr. George Kohler, was the youngest person ever to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine in history. 37 years old, wins the Nobel Prize in Medicine, and he won it by studying monocline antibodies, which antibodies trained to attack cancer cells. If they ever get this really working, it will be great, because they won’t have to use chemo-therapy anymore, which kills more people than it saves. Eleven years after winning the Nobel Prize in Medicine, Dr. George Kohler, now 48, drops dead of a cardiomyopathy heart attack, because he believed/practiced that you can get everything you need from your four food groups. Didn’t take any Selenium, died of a cardiomyopathy heart attack.

What are the early warning system for mineral deficiency? Well, I already told you about

• white, gray or silver hair for a copper deficiency.
• Liver spots or age spots on the back of your hand, side of your face or neck is caused by a Selenium deficiency. And you know, again, about Selenium deficiency.
• Then, of course, you have toe cramps, leg cramps, hypertension. These things are all caused by a deficiency of calcium, and
• if you’re an athlete at age 25 or 15, and you get a leg cramp, it’s a calcium deficiency.

Little kids react the same way. I’m sure you see little kids who use a plastic shovel or a little spoon and they are eating dirt out of the garden or out of the house plant, maybe on the beach or the play box at school. And if you live in one of these new-fangled apartments that have everything artificial. Man-made rugs wall to wall, maybe the tile is man-made stuff, nothing organic in the house. These are kids that will watch the Disney Channel and they will put the kitty litter box between their knees, sit there eating the tootsie rolls because it is the only organic thing in the house. Not because it tastes good, because of seeking, they have this Pica and cribbing. Grandfather tends to be very tolerant and says "Look, kid, if you’ve got to do this, go over in the corner and do this. I don’t want to have to watch. Mom and Grandmom don’t like this, they pick up this kitty litter box, place it on the kitchen counter, contaminate everybody in the household with worms, and they still haven’t satisfied the kid’s need for minerals. And they immediately go over and start eating the caulking from the windows the lead paint. Not because it tastes good, but because it’s convenient.

Pregnant women are legendary for having Pica and cribbing. Usually at 2am, they want pickles and ice cream, curly French Fries, hot and spicy foods. That’s because the embryo is taking minerals from the mother, and if they don’t supplement with minerals faster than the embryo is taking it from them, they get Pica and cribbing and have these crazy cravings. Some go out in the middle of the night and eat clay in the full moon.

Then, of course, non-pregnant women also get Pica and cribbing. Here is where the snack food industry has really caught on. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture says, 95% of all Americans are deficient in minerals. 95% of all Americans are going to show mineral deficiency symptoms, including Pica and cribbing. The snack food industry has spent billions of dollars over the past 10 or 12 years convincing you that this behavior of eating non-food items is not called Pica and cribbing. Cause you can go look it up in the dictionary, it will say a mineral deficiency. They’ve convinced you that cravings and binge-eating habits and behavior is called "the munchies". Now when you get the munchies, you are taught to eat their chips and their dips, and their various snacks, pretzels, popcorn, their chocolate and Reeses peanut butter cups, and curly French Fries. That’s why Americans are overweight, basically because we are minerally deficient. Again we need 90 essential nutrients,

		60 minerals,
		16 vitamins, 12 essential amino acids or protein building block, and
		3 essential fatty acids.

Minerals are a different story. Plants can’t manufacture minerals the way that can manufacture vitamins, amino acids and fatty acids. Plants cannot manufacture minerals. Remember that. Also, minerals never occur in a uniform blanket around the crust of the earth. Minerals are in veins, kind of like chocolate-ripple ice cream. For 100 years, farmers have used a simple fertilizer known as NPK, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium because for $25 per acre when I was a kid, $120 an acre today, NPK gives you the maximum yield in terms of tons and bushels per acre of ground. Nobody pays the farmer any kind of cash incentive or gives him a tax break to make sure you get all 60 essential minerals. That’s your job. They grow tons and bushels for domestic sale and for export. It only takes 5 years for crops to deplete, extract or mine the minerals out of farmlands or rain soils, and we have been using NPK for 100 years, so you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that over 90 years, at least, we have been deficient in our soil in America and as a result our food is deficient, and as a result we spent 1.2 trillion dollars for healthcare last year. If the government would just give everybody vitamins, minerals and trace minerals, it would cut our cost of healthcare from 1.2 trillion to 200 billion. It would cut the cost of healthcare almost 90%.

One of the things I want you to collect when you leave here tonight is a summary of US Senate document 264, which says there is no longer any nutritional minerals left in our farm and rain soils, and as a result the crops, the grains, fruits and vegetables that are grown are minerally deficient, and as a result the animals who eat minerally deficient crops get mineral deficiency diseases, and the only way to prevent and cure them is with mineral supplements. Now to me the scary thing about US Senate document 264 is that it was written and published by the US Senate in 1936. 61 years ago we knew this. This is when we began to put vitamins and minerals and trace minerals into animal feed to make up the difference. Unfortunately for human beings, we got wonder drugs. We got sulfa drugs in 1936, penicillin in 1938, got cortisone in 1942, and everybody was led to believe that if you just give medical research enough money, and if you faithfully watch Dr. Marcus Welby, MD, every week, they will find a wonder drug to fix everything. We don’t believe that anymore, that’s why you’re here tonight. Remember this, 1936.

The side-effects include:
• blindness,
• kidney failure, and
• dialysis and kidney transplant,
• there's cardiovascular disease of all kinds. And of course that contributes to the number 1 cause of death.
• Then there are amputations.
• And then, you shorten your life, because if you have diabetes, on the average, you have a shorter life span than someone who doesn’t have diabetes.

"Now, we learned in 1957, in the animal industry, that we could prevent and cure diabetes with two trace minerals. That’s a pretty profound statement. We could prevent and cure diabetes with two trace minerals, in 1957, in animals, and it was published in Federation Proceedings, which is the official journal of American Science, the National Institute of Health. The official monthly journal, August, 1957.

"Now your doctor, when he diagnoses a new diabetic, he gets very excited. And he will drop to his knees and give thanks to the Lord, and then he will jump up and call his real estate agent, cause he knows over 20, 30, 40 years, if you are a diabetic, you’re going to go through all these problems -- blindness, kidney failure, cardiovascular disease, and the need for amputations. And as a result, you are worth to him $250,000 to $500,000. Just like adding another cow to the dairy herd. Now to me this is criminal, because we learned in 1957 in animals that we could cure adult onset diabetes with two trace minerals, chromium and vanadium.

"Just 12 years ago, 1985, the medical school at the University of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, came out and said the trace mineral vanadium alone could replace insulin in adult onset diabetics. Course they can't quit their insulin cold turkey. They got to gradually wean off it, takes 4 to 6 months for most people to slowly wean off insulin, if they are taking in adequate amounts of chromium and vanadium. I’ve seen it work on hundreds and hundreds of people.

"If you write to Hills Packing Company that makes Science Diet dog food (they’re right over here in Topeka, Kansas), they manufacture Science Diet dog food and other Science Diet products, high tech foods for animals. If you write them and say, "How many minerals, exactly, is in Science Diet dog food?" They’ll write back there are 40 minerals. You write Checkerboard Square in St. Louis, Ralston Purina, and say "Just how many minerals are in your rat pellets for laboratory rats?" They’ll say there are 28 minerals. I’ll give anybody in this room a crisp new $100 bill if you can find me a human infant formula in a grocery store that has more than 11. So dogs get 40 minerals, now this is what Mike Murphy was saying "Dog never seem to get sick", because he’s getting this canned dog food with all these vitamins and minerals in there. So dogs get 40 minerals, rats get 28 minerals, and human infants get 12 or less. Is that fair? No! You don’t have to be a research scientist to realize why our kids are now getting all these horrible diseases that used to occur in people who were 60, 70 or 80. All these diseases that doctors are wondering "Is this genetic? These kids shouldn’t have this till they are 60". Well that’s because they couldn’t get it out of their little can of stuff. If it’s not in the can, they don’t get it. Doesn’t matter if you’re talking about SMA, Similac, Isomilk, ProSoyB. In fact, that’s why they call Similac, Similac, cause it lacks everything.

I want you to think about Jim Fixx, who died in 1984 at age 52. Jim Fixx was running 10 miles a day from the early 60’s believing that if you ran 10 miles a day seven days a week you could live to be over 100. And he refused to take vitamins and minerals because he believed he would muddy the water and he wanted to prove that it was the exercise that helped you live to be over 100. And so he refused to take any vitamins and minerals and trace minerals, and when he was 52 years old he had 5 cardiomyopathy heart attacks. Five Selenium deficiency heart attacks in his 52nd year. The 5th one killed him. When they did the autopsy on Jim Fix, they said "Gosh, his arteries are as clean as a newborn baby’s", but he had a huge technical problem, his heart was dead. Doesn’t matter how clean your arteries are if your heart is dead it doesn’t matter, does it?

And you look at people like Jesse Owens. Won 4 gold medals in track and field in the 1936 in Berlin, died at age 66. The Flying Finns were the Olympic team for track and field for Finland during the 20’s and 30’s. They dominated 3 Olympics in a row. Won most of the gold, most of the silver almost all the bronze medals during those three Olympics and two in the late 20’s and the first Olympics in the 30’s. They dominated everybody. None of them lived to be 70 years of age.

Well here’s the last one on exercise before we get into the longevity. Dr. Michael P. Artise, 38 years old, was also a runner, and this guy ran all through Junior High and High School, and college and medical school, and when he graduated he still loved exercise and believed it was good for you. And he tried to carry this love of exercise to his patients so he gave them a 10% discount on his medical services if they would run with him 2 weeks out of every month. Now this particular fateful day, Dr. Michael P. Artise, 38 years old, was jogging with a big group, gallery of his patients, kind of like Forest Gump, running down this road, and he collapsed and died in front of his horrified patients. But it was billing week, so nobody stopped to give him CPR because they didn’t want to lose that 10% discount on his services.

Now I have to tell you, why athletes are early warning systems. Couch potatoes, by definition, are people who go to extraordinary efforts not to sweat. They make every human effort not to sweat. They are changing the TV channels, "Honey, bring in the popcorn, I’m changing the channels. Honey, bring in the TV Guide, I’m changing the channels." Well, by contrast, athletes have the attitude, "no pain, no gain". They are out there sweating, working away, power-training, strength training, running and they sweat. Athletes, no matter of age, sweat more in 5 years than couch potatoes do in 70 years. And when you sweat, you don’t just sweat out Potassium and Gatorade, you sweat out all 60 essential minerals. If you sweat out all your Selenium and you don’t replace it by supplementation, you’re at high risk of getting a cardiomyopathy heart attack. You sweat out all your copper and don’t replace it by supplementation, you’re at high risk of developing an aneurysm and dying suddenly of a ruptured aneurysm. If you sweat out all your chromium and vanadium and don’t replace it by supplementation, you’re at high risk of getting diabetes. And if you sweat out all your calcium and magnesium, boron and zinc, and sulphur, and other minerals that are required for cartilage, ligaments, tendons, connective tissue, bone, you’re going to get a joint/bone injury. What is the biggest single cause of an athlete’s career being ended early? Joint and bone problems, right? It’s because they sweat out all the basic minerals they need to maintain those parts of the body and they don’t supplement with them because doctors tell them they can get everything they need from the four food groups.

"Then there’s bad alcoholics, they are the ones that get two drinks in them and they violent and rage and want to fight everybody, punch holes in the wall, big brave fellows, and they kick their wife, and kick the dog, and take the chain saw and cut their neighbor’s tree down, and all these wild things, and drive reckless down the roads and kill people. Those are the bad drunks. Well people who have blood sugar problems have bad blood sugar people too. They get a little crazy."

"I don’t know how many remember the Twinkie defense? Somebody murdered two people, and he claimed he ate a Twinkie 3 hours before he murdered them, so they let him off because he got temporarily insane every time he ate sugar. Now don’t any of you try that! Well chromium and vanadium deficiency will result in the sugar problems. Low blood sugar, and if you let it go on for any length of time you develop diabetes."

• you had better give them more calcium.
• You had better give them more magnesium, and
• more boron.

This was about 15 months ago, March, 1993, it says, "Calcium limits kidney stone risk." This is from the Harvard Medical School in Boston. "In a study that turns conventional medical wisdom on its head, researchers have found that people whose diets are rich in calcium run a reduced risk of developing kidney stones. A study of more than 45,000 people who are ranked in the 5 categories, the group that had the most calcium had no kidney stones." So it took them a thousand years to catch up.

About 5 years ago, when I started out on this crusade, and started lecturing to people all across America, and I’m in one time zone and the next , and although I knew I was going to get crazy out there doing this, last year I was on the road 300 days out of the year. 300 out of 365 days, and so I decided I needed to have a hobby I could take with me. Everytime I get a little whacko, I could go in my room and do this hobby and I would be okay. It would be kind of like having a little piece of home with me wherever I went. I wanted to have a hobby that would help other people. I didn’t want to collect baseball cards, cause I like football. And I didn’t want to do crossword puzzles, which is good mental exercise, but wouldn’t help anybody else. I couldn’t take my compost pile, (I like to garden), and hotels don’t like that, you know. So I decided I was going to collect obituaries of doctors and lawyers.

Now as crazy as that sounds, remember I told you that doctors live to an average age of 58 and we live to 75.5, and here’s a group of people who pontificate you and tell you, "Well this is what you need to do. You need to give up salt. No caffeine, and you need to not eat butter, and eat margarine, and do all these crazy things." And they die at age 58 on the average. Of course all those people who live to be 120-140, they put a chunk of rock salt in their tea everyday, and they drink 40 cups of tea a day. 40 chunks of rock salt. And they live to be 120. So who you going to believe, the people who live to be 58, or the people who live to be 120? It’s your choice.

The University of California, San Diego, came out 3 years ago now and said, "If you just double the RDA of calcium intake, you get rid of 85% of emotional and physical symptoms of PMS." And when that came out, there were huge lines around the health-food stores, around the block, and people had sleeping bags, because they closed before they all got their calcium. And every person in line was a man. They were there for their daughters, and their girlfriends, and their wives, and things like that.

This was actually a study that was published in the NY Times, May 22, 1996, and this study was abstracted from JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, the most prestigious medical journal in the world, according to themselves. Now in this particular journal, a Dr. Alexander Gordon Logan, who is an epidemiologist and cardiologist on the teaching staff of the medical school at the Univ. of Toronto up in Canada, and he took 56 existing studies on hypertension or high blood pressure and restriction of salt, combined data from these 56 studies, which included 3505 people. He threw away all the conclusions and re-evaluated the larger group and what he found out was this.

• If you have normal blood pressure, and you restrict salt, it will not prevent you from getting heart disease or high blood pressure.
• If you have hypertension or high blood pressure and you restrict salt, 97% of those with high blood pressure or hypertension who restrict salt will not get any measurable benefit. Zero. 2-5% get measurable benefit, but it’s not significant.

These work for skin cancer:

• Zinc,
• Beta Carotene and
• Vitamin E.

• to reduce esophageal cancer by 71%,
• they were able to reduce prostate cancer by 69% fellows, better than two thirds,
• they were able to reduce colon and rectal cancer by 64%, almost two thirds,
• they were able to reduce lung cancer, whether you smoked or not, by 48%.

• bismuth and
• the tetracycline antibiotic

For those of you who don’t know what bismuth comes in, you can get it from any grocery store, or drug store. It’s pink, about $2.95 for an 8 oz. bottle, and it’s called Pepto-Bismol. So a teaspoon of

• Pepto-Bismol and
• some Orymiacin pellets,
