Check Out Freaky Worldwide Frauds

The amount of exposes’ on many of today’s current and thriving frauds are probably so numerous that one begins to groan at the thought of reading another  expose’.

I shall try to make this short yet informative and hopefully interesting.  Dr. Bieler and I felt that many cures that bordered on frauds worked because of the snakestone theory.  For those not familiar with this term, it refers to the Indian tribes that believe if one holds a particular stone and is bitten by a poisonous reptile such as a rattlesnake, they will be protected by the powerful stone.  This probably has proven itself true because of the mind’s powerful control over the body.  Thousands of times we have seen the mind prove miracles or create destruction with its belief system. 

One of the most thought provoking, expensive, and sadly enough destructive situations, however, occurs with the “cancer cures”.  Over the years I have probably heard of a dozen or so miracle workers.  Many times these “healers” are in some obscure village or island far from justice.  This does not mean that all out-of-the-way healers are harmful or not adept at helping humanity.

However, desperate patient/clients flock like a herd of cattle, sometimes utilizing their life savings to get a miracle.  It has seemed that the higher the cost, the more impressed the sick person becomes.  One of the first and foremost inquiries they should look into, besides proper credentials or training, is what is in the  “magic potion”, whether in injection or pill form.  If the substance is innocuous then the person is just left with a little enervation and less money, but if the substance is toxic, they have added a third problem such as a poison that needs to be removed.

For example, one of my clients that is forever seeking a magic happening, managed trips several times to Mexico, dragging along some weary relatives who supposedly had cancer, too. In reality, none had any true diagnostic proof of this ailment, but they all joined the crowd of sufferers.

In this instance, as in many, there was a magic injection complete with dirty needles, unsanitary living quarters, lack of dignity and the like.  The cost was nearly $7,000 per treatment. An investigation by authorities revealed injection of DMSO, (actually, a cleaning fluid) which may not be terribly harmful, but it definitely can be obtained for less money and locally.  I don’t like this substance … though it is used medicinally by some! All but one of the persons receiving this treatment has died this past year, not necessarily from the treatment but from the disease.  I might add that they died poorer and for the most part more weary from the extreme dietary changes plus the stress of traveling such a long distance.

If patients had been told the contents of this “new amazing cure”, I doubt seriously that that their rather shabby business would have thrived.  As it is, they will probably be out of business permanently as they have frequently sought refuge from the law and are still under heavy investigation.

Another ludicrous California treatment includes injecting processed urine of cancer victims into other cancer patients along with small dosages of leprosy bacteria.  Again the cost is high and the rationale is quite funny if it were not so ludicrous and enervating.

And yet another … On a beautiful island off of Florida is a special cancer clinic at the cost of approximately $9000 per treatment, plus extra costs for lodging.  After all of the fancy words are sorted and sifted through, the process in reality consists of taking out the victim’s blood, dividing it into four special parts, and then putting it back into the sufferer.  Needless to say, the professional brochure does not describe this process, nor does the initial interview with the practitioners cover this topic.  But in total reality, that is what the procedure consists of, and sadly enough, distraught fearful cancer victims or even ones fearing cancer mortgage their properties and the like to rush to this clinic.

When one of my clients at this clinic took a sudden turn for the worse, she was urged—not so gently—to leave the island, and told in no uncertain terms that they were “washing” their hands of her case and refused to cooperate.  Nothing was mentioned about hospital care although there is a hospital on the premises, nor were any refunds given for the partial treatment not received. Unfortunately, this is the island clinic’s modus operandi.

Of course, some therapies are simpler such as adjustments for real or imagined spinal problems.  At times, manipulation given gently may make the client/patient comfortable; and then at other times they can cause grievous pain and sometimes financial discomfort.

Health therapies are indeed a big business, and it is doubtful that it will become less so.  As long as there is a disease, and the individual does not investigate their treatment, nor take responsibility for helping themselves get better with proper nutrition or health care, we will always have an overabundance of get-well, quick ideas. This also includes the multivitamin therapies.  No matter how many powders, vitamins, etc. are introduced; illness is still on the rampage. 

In my estimation the only true answer, hard as it may seem, is to be willing to take charge of one’s own life…to decide on a sane lifestyle, create an alkaline system, be moderate in all habits, and exercise if at all possible; in other words, to have enough regard for one’s body so that it will survive by using rational thinking and temperate living habits instead of just rushing about and seeking “instant” relief.  Nature does not sell instant relief, not in times past nor in our modern society.

Almost a complete book could be written about these many health and healing frauds. Sadly, they are on the increase especially for cancer as it and other lifestyle illnesses are steadily increasing throughout the population.

It is a frantic last-ditch effort of the ill person who, foolishly and with toxins sometimes ruling their pituitary, decides to sacrifice their home, family’s welfare, or whatever else, to get relief and or a “cure”.  Unfortunately, the results are often not what were hoped for.
