Dear Bob,
Thank you for your web site.
My mum aged 66, has been a Christian for 18 years, was diagnosed with bowel and
liver cancer last year Feb 05.
She started a new course of cancer drugs which they said cost $10,000 which as
they where trial drugs would not cost her anything if she agreed to go on them,
the government would pay.
My mum lives in New Zealand and I live in Australia so as you could imagine I
felt upset that I could not be with her through this time.
In September last year 2005 i took the 3 kids and my wife to see her for 3
weeks. She had lost a lot of weight and very slow to move. She had peeling feet
and hands from her drugs, which made showering very painful, also had
uncontrollable diarrhea.
I came away from visiting her angry and knew that these drugs were not going to
heal her.
Once back in Australia I started a search on alternate cures. I was shocked on
the amount of so called cures, I did not know where to start.
I came across several interesting sites about PH levels and then a link came up
about your site.
I read several articles on your site and decided to buy a couple of Dr B's
books.
After reading them I phoned my mum to explain to her about Dr B's water cure,
but it seemed to fall on deaf ears.
For several months i was receiving mums blood results and her liver function
test were high but stable.
About June of this year mum stated to feel pressure in her lower back, and went
and had a blood test and scan.
Things were getting worse.
My mum asked the Dr if she had the full on chemotherapy how long would she live,
the Dr. said, "2 months if you do have it, and the same if you don't."
She decided to have the cemo, but after 1 dose of iv cemo she was so sick she
decided to stop all treatment. Two weeks later my sister rung me and had said mum has given up and wants to die,
I decided to fly back to Nz and talk to her about the water cure again.
I arrived in Nz on 22nd July at 12.45 am, I was staying with my parents, as I
came into the house my mum called for me and i was shocked to see my mum in a
frail condition, she had not been out of bed for several days. I kissed her and
said I love her.
As I tried to sleep that night I thought how am i going to get her to try the
water cure.
The next morning i spoke to her again and said what have you to lose. I asked
mum her weight she said around 60kg.
She said I will try it.
I found a 500ml bottle and said she had to drink 3 of these a day with 1/4 tsp
of 80 mineral sea salt per lt.
The first day she took her full quota but did not pass urine at all.
I stopped the salt for one day but continued her 1.5 lts.
She started to pass urine so i started the salt once more.
The third day to everyone's surprise mum got out of bed and came down to the
sitting room and sat with us all. You should of seen my dads face.
Mum sat up for several hrs that day.
Day 4 Mum once again got up drinking her salt water and started knitting my wife
a scaff. mum said "i feel good."
Day 5 Mum once again got up and sat with us all.
My sister came around and asked me if i would like to go to the shopping mall,
mum asked if she could go to, that statement left us all speechless for a
moment. So away we all went to the mall, mum walked with us for about 20min
around the mall.
I spoke to her more about the water cure the next few days i was their.
Mum said she was never a water drinker and never used salt. My dad who loves
salt on every thing has low BP and mum also has high Bp and on tablets for it.
Well its now coming to the end of August 2006 and mum is up every day goes
shopping with dad.
I spoke to her on the phone yesterday and even her tone of voice is sharp.
My mum has had a lot of prayer and we know the Jesus went about teaching,
preaching and healed people.
And he is the same yesterday today and forever. So what he did yesterday he will
do today.
But also we reap what we sow.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Thanks Bob for giving us something to work with.
“You Have Cancer. You’re Going to Die!” the doctors told me.
An internationally acclaimed orthopedic trauma surgeon, world known AIDS expert and best selling author, Lorraine Day, M.D.
“But they were wrong!” says Lorraine Day, M.D. She was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and had a lumpectomy of a small tumor. But the tumor soon recurred, became very aggressive and grew rapidly. Yet Dr. Day rejected standard therapies because of their destructive side effects, and because those therapies often lead to death. She chose instead to rebuild her immune system using the natural, simple, inexpensive therapies designed by God and available to everyone so her body could heal itself.
“Dr. Batmanghelidj’s discovery regarding water was critical in my recovery. I could not have recovered without it.”

My name is Andrew and I'm going to be 42 years young this October - 1998. In 1995. I was urged to "get my affairs in order" and to "pull out all the stops" by a Hematologist/Oncologist. Cutaenous B-Cell Lymphoma was the diagnosis. Number 15 in a list of medical challenges" including diabetes, hypertension, neuropathy, retinopathy, candida albicans (yeast), chronic fatigue, obesity, arthritis, bursitis, to name a few. I used to ask, "Why me?" Today I know all of that led to many new doors opening in my life. At age 35. 1 looked as if I were in my forties whereas now I appear to be in my thirties and in better condition than when I was in my twenties. It probably sounds like a fairytale!
I have written a "tale" (not yet published) inspired by my life's journey. Now I'm working on the biographical portion of that novel which tells the story of my journey and the lessons learned. I dream now of sharing my blessings, with as many people as possible and as I venture there, my blessings seem to multiply.
Today I am a practitioner of
Traditional Chinese Medicine and continue my study of these wise ancient forms
of balancing and healing. Experience is a good teacher. Lao Tzu, author of the
way of the Tao, Oriental spiritual philosophy so aptly teaches: "Surrender
yourself humbly. Then you can be trusted to care for all things. Love the world
as your own self, then you can truly care for all things." What does all this
have to do with water? The earth is made of mostly water as are our bodies.
Water is the "universal solvent". Water is central to nature, and to the
function and balance of our bodies, minds and spirits. So when we are out of
balance, the person responds almost as a raisin responds to the sun in it’s
transformation from a grape. Insufficient water in our "salt water" beings,
shrivels up our cells and a process of literal meltdown begins to occur. When
properly hydrated our cells are better capable of metabolizing properly and our
ability to heal ourselves as our creator intended kicks in. The "machine" runs
better when well oiled and water is our machines' oil as well as serving many
other functions.
The last five years of my life
have been what many call "The School of Hard Knocks." I'm thankful that I was
able to learn from that school as it has brought me to a place where I feel,
look, and live a healthier, happier life. I drink water throughout the day and
evening (daily goal is one gallon). and yes, it goes through me! That’s the
idea. My kidneys are filters for my body. Chinese Medicine recognizes the kidney
meridian as the basic meridian or energy channel of life support and the kidney
and bladder meridians and organs are considered "water element meridians".
Chinese Medicine is based on a
"five element theory" and those elements are wood, fire, earth, metal and water.
Our bodies have two energy channels (Yin and Yang pairs) representing organ
systems in each of those five elements of nature. Optimally, these all work in
balance and in synchronized harmony. We opt not to short circuit our energy
systems ( like our nervous system) by lack of water. The basic conductor of
electrical energy in our nervous system is water and salt). Dehydration creates
imbalance which leads to disease, disorder and illness. Basic health is
determined by what goes into and comes out of our bodies. How and what we think
and believe determines how we manage this system and our spirit or Qi
(pronounced Chi) or source energies, is the driving force of life. If
de-hydrated our energy is low, whereas proper hydration allows enhanced function
and more energy is generated. Toxins are released as water cleanses and filters
our body and it's fluids. A car battery doesn't work properly if the water level
inside Is low. Once we begin to "drain or wear down" our machine, it can begin
to experience difficulties which progress in a chain reaction. That's what I
realized in the early fall of 1995. The culmination of years of dehydration.
For about 10 years, I had a red
raised lumpy area or lesion on the left flank area of my lower left back (love
handles). Several biopsies over the years showed the lesion to be benign, until
September of 1995. The area became somewhat inflamed and irritated as well as
itchy. My family doctor removed the lesion and sent it for examination (biopsy).
When it came back positive for "cutaneous B-cell lymphoma," my physician
referred me to the major medical center of which his office is an affiliate (Geisinger
Medical Center in Danville, PA). The cancer was a rare form of lymphatic cancer
on my body surface. There weren't even many statistics with the American Cancer
Society about this form of the disease. (see above editorial article I wrote).
For years doctors had been telling me that all the conditions I had were
"chronic" and I could try to maintain a "comfortable level" at best but I ended
up on Social Security Disability. The chief of Oncology and Hematology at this
major hospital sent me for a "Gallium Scan" which involved the IV injection of
radio active isotopes and then scanning my body. The idea was that all cancer
cells would accept the gallium and glow under the scan. By now, 26 new tumors
began appearing on the flank of my back covering an area the size of a 6 or 8
inch plate. The scan revealed that I was glowing like a glow-worm from head to
toe over the entire surface of my body including between my fingers and toes.
The specialist recommended surface area radiation over the area of tumors on my
left flank, and either waiting for other tumors to appear (as they historically
do with this form of cancer over the rest of my body then radiating them. The
other option was to send me to Hahnemann Medical Center of Drexel University in
Philadelphia , PA where they could radiate my entire body surface at once to
attempt to kill this cancer. After a short course of local radiation that gave
me third degree burns on the flank of my back, I opted to avoid the total body
surface radiation. (
I was told that this cancer was
very rare and that there weren't many case histories to set a specific protocol
by. There could be no way of telling if and when subsequent tumors would appear
nor how long this would affect my life. I was told then that I could not be
given a prognosis on my chance of survival nor how long I could survive. My
doctor was somewhat open to new things. Thank God! I was advised to "get my
affairs in order" so that I "covered all the bases". My only other choice was
to "pull out all the stops" and try anything and everything I wished to try. I
say thank God for the "missing prognosis", because I firmly believe in the
power of positive thinking. My chances of survival would be less if I believed
it to be so. I was already seeing another physician (Naturopath) who believed in
more natural forms of healing. I decided to pull out all the stops. I began
getting my affairs in order and preparing for a fight.
We treated my burns with salve
and planned on stimulating my immune system with some Alternative treatments. I
was on supplements (around 45 pills per day) and added more such as melatonin,
Shitake, Maitake, and Reishi mushroom supplements and Kambusha Mushroom Tea. My
doctor reminded me of the importance of drinking enough water and we began the
treatments. They Involved Natural forms of intravenous therapy.
In the mean time, I needed tires
for my car to be able to travel for my appointments to the many doctors I was
seeing. Don't forget, I was challenged by diabetes and 13 other Illnesses
besides the cancer. The parts man at the counter at "Cee-Kay Auto" In Moosic,
PA, began conversing with me and invited me upstairs to meet the owner of the
business (Bob BUtts). He told me about the "Water Cure". Was it just a
coincidence that I was hearing about the importance of water and hydration once
again? My college days and Biology courses were also now flashing again in my
mind. My doctor stressed the importance of water. Now I believe that there are
no coincidences and that all things happen far a reason in God's plan. This was
happening around October and November of 1995.
I began my treatments, started
trying to drink a gallon of clean, pure, filtered water a day, changed my diet
to a more whole grain with fresh fruits and vegetables regime, took my
supplements and literally surrendered my fate into God's hands. Well, I guess
He planned on my writing this. In March of 96, I was feeling somewhat better and
the specialist at the major hospital scheduled another Gallium scan. When I was
in his office waiting for the results, he entered shaking his head. I could feel
my pulse racing. He told me that either the machine malfunctioned now or in my
initial scan, because it seemed odd that I was glowing positive for cancer from
head to toe only six months prior to this scan and now there wasn't one cell
positive for cancer in my entire body! Those tears welling up in my eyes were
joyful as I thought of my children and loved ones at home and my zeal to go to
them with the news. The doctor and I talked about what my "Naturopath" and I had
done, and agreed about the importance of water and salt. He said it was
possible that I was very fortunate in finding the right combination that healed
me.
How wonderful that all these
years of "suffering," as our society calls it, were really revealing lessons
learned ("miracles" or "shifts in my perceptions") -those proverbial "silver
linings in every dark cloud". Yes. I am (reference to the Deity I AM within my
spirit intended) still overcoming some challenges with my health, yet now I am
winning! By drinking more water, changing some perceptions, making dietary
changes, supplementation and adding Alternative Medicine to the mix, I live a
more balanced life and continue learning more each moment of each beautiful day,
one at a time. People in hospitals recover when fluids - "intravenous salt
water"- restore the natural balance so medicines and body treatments can begin
the process of regeneration. My personal re-generation is in it’s 6th year.
I look forward to continued
health and healing, and continuing the education process. Inside, I realize my
goals and proceed to attain them. Andrew Carnegie once said. "Whatever the mind
can conceive and believe, man can achieve." I agree. What would be the purpose
of trying, if one didn't believe one could do it'? Water plays an important
role in my healthy thinking and living a balanced prosperous life. With strong
faith and resolve and a good education (can't knock the School of Hard Knocks),
I know there is nothing I can't do. Instead of asking "Why me?" I can say,
"Thank you God for choosing me". I believe that every dark cloud has a silver
lining if I'm willing to seek that silver lining. Funny thing, aren't clouds
made of' water?

I am writing to thank you for leading me through the cure of prostate cancer……. During a flight physical in July 1999 my PSA was at 4.6. I was referred to a urologist, which led to a biopsy that came back positive in October. I went to Walter Reed Medical Center for a second opinion in January 2000 where my PSA was found to be at 5.7 and it was confirmed as cancer.
While home for Christmas, my mother kept talking about your book, “Your Body’s Many Cries For Water.” I finally asked her to please stop talking about it so I could enjoy the holidays and my granddaughters, but I promised to read the material she gave me on the flight back to Germany……. While I was at Walter Reed in Washington, D.C., I found out all I could about possible cures and facilities or clinics that might serve as alternative resources because everyone I talked to wanted to operate. Actually, three choices were recommended to me: wait and watch, radiation therapy and surgery, which was their strongest recommendation.
I began drinking water while at Walter Reed as a result of downloading your volumes of information from the internet at “watercure.com.” I e-mailed you because I had some questions and when I returned to Europe I found an answer from you inviting me to call you at your office, which I did. You asked me many questions and told me to begin drinking water, carrot juice, orange juice, use salt (which I had not done for twenty years), eat lots of vegetables and fruits and the only eating restriction you gave me was to not eat fried foods. You also told me to give up coffee, alcohol and sodas. You told me to walk for an hour in the morning and an hour at night….faithfully. You invited me to call you whenever I had questions and when I asked what it would cost you stated there would be no charge…… WOW!!!
Since then I have called regularly, every week at first and about once a month more recently. I have had monthly PSA tests run and they generally have been within safe tolerance since February, (The first month after beginning the water cure). IN March I went to Panama and Vietnam and was not able to follow the regime faithfully, but I did keep drinking my daily amount of water and my PSA was slightly elevated when it was tested in April. I went back to the regime and the PSA was way down the next month. I went to Panama for a family reunion in late July and early August where I drank some beer and coffee and when I returned to Europe I found my PSA was up again. This concerned me and I called to speak with you about it. In our conversation you questioned me very closely about the consumption of alcohol and I confessed that since I live in Germany where the world’s best “biers” are available, I usually had one or two at dinner. You told me not to drink any alcohol and I obeyed. You also shared with me that the high PSA indicated a higher acidity in my body and recommended that I eat lots of vegetables, particularly green ones to cause a higher PH. The next month’s test was at 3.3.
At first when I attempted to explain what I am doing to medical doctors they basically blew me off, but more recently I have spoken to a few who are interested.
Since beginning this suggested regime, I have really felt better than before I started. I was in pretty good shape, but within three weeks, I noticed that when I did the same cardiovascular exercises as before, I had to work much harder to raise my heart beat to the normal 150 that I had always achieved before. It would only reach 130 with the same effort. I asked you about this and you told me it was because my heart muscles were probably dehydrated before and no longer have to work so hard. With the same effort now I only achieved a heart rate of 115 to 120…….
For years I have had some pains in my knees and in one hip when I walked or ran and my knees hurt when I walked after getting up out of a chair…… this was completely gone after about three months of water drinking. My nagging lower back pain has disappeared and I feel really great. I am 60 and quite frankly I feel about as good as I did at 40 and I am cured of prostate cancer.
I was raised on a farm, flew fighters, built houses and commercial buildings and owned a number of construction businesses in my adult years so from my experience I am a practical thinker and water makes sense. I can personally claim that your information works and it is amazing that so many other friends of mine think it is just too simple of a solution. It is particularly distressing to encounter the ignorance shown by traditional medical people who seem to be blinded by their training and professional arrogance when it comes to acceptance of your information. Thank you very much Doctor Batmanghelidj and I pray that “WE” are successful in getting your practical information heard by people who can benefit from it.
Please feel free to share this information with anyone it will benefit. Respectfully.

Thank-you for lending the audio tapes to us, I was so grateful that my sister was able to pick them up for me and have the opportunity to meet you and speak with you and Connie. Tell Connie for me that I really do appreciate the angel statue for I am a great collector of angel's myself. I am trying to listen to the tapes as much as I can throughout the day so I can return them to you as quickly as possible. Lorraine Day is an excellent example in the powers of God. I hope that you understand Bob that I firmly believe that the Lord has taken over and is leading me in the right direction. My faith in God is stronger than this cancer, and I'm learning such vasts amount of information from the audios. I knew that from the first day of Elises diagnosis that there were greater hands that would be involved in her cure. I handed this over to our Lord because for a mom it was to much to handle and I have Faith and Trust in the Heavenly Father, He knows what he is doing. Then by the graces of God I found you and Connie and the watercure2. I am very grateful for your help and support, and most of all because you Bob Butts know something that others just don't get, That all good things come if we just listen with our hearts, that God whispers to us all the time and leads us in the right direction , if we would just listen. I 'm hearing the message Bob and working diligently every day to open the hearts of others. But my first priority is to heal and cure my daughter, I think we are well on our way to understanding how to do that.
Elise is doing much better since starting on the water and celtic salt, both the remaining tumors have shrunk down a minimal size and there is only 2 small clusters remaining in her bones, it is still a lot but it is much better since the watercure2. She is now much healthier and stronger and I attribute that to becoming hydrated more and more everyday. Thanks so much for all your help and guidance. God Bless You.

Firstly Bob, I want to thank you for your web site and for your unselfish dedication to Dr. Batmanghelidj and the water cure. About five years ago, I was told by Doctors, one at Sloan Kettering Memorial Cancer Center that I had lymphoma (of the stomach lining). I went on a short water fast and after 4 days vomited large amounts of bile. I continued for several more days and increased my water drinking to about 80 - 100 oz. a day. I did not listen to the doctors and took no other treatment. Today I am in great health, all thanks to water. I only wish that I had learned the secret earlier in my life. Lymph is just about 90%+ water and no one should get lymphoma- it is all due to dehydration. I understand that you have a radio program. I don't believe it can be heard in New York. Is there anyway that I can get to hear it? There is a radio program on WOR radio at 12 noon Monday to Friday which deals with food and lifestyles. I have written to the man who has the program, Arthur Schwartz, and asked him to do a program on water. I did not hear back from him but he does mention water occasionally. Would it be possible for you to contact him. You may reach him at the http://www.Wor.com site. It would be great if you could get some New York exposure. Thank you again for your work. But I must wonder why it is so difficult to get people to listen and understand about the benefits of water.
Man Dying of Bone Cancer Cured!
5000 Member Church Commits to Water Cure!
Reverend Stan Moore of Woods of Life Fellowship Church in Pembrook, Florida said he found biblical truth in the water cure when he read 2nd Kings, second chapter, verses 19-22. He informed his congregation about it. Upon hearing this, the wife of a man who was just prayed for because he was incurably ill with bone cancer and several other conditions, went to the hospital and started giving him small amounts of water. His family was told there was no hope and to accept his death. Six weeks later this man was totally well and gave his testimonial in church. That was at the end of August, 2000.
The entire church pledged to to follow the watercure for one year and the results were immediate as anyone with an understanding of water would expect. People were getting rid of all kinds of problems, many of which were called incurable.
The phone number of this church is 305-653-8155 and the cell phone number is 305-904-3174. Their address is 15610 S.W. 12th Street, Pembrook, Florida.
Why not save yourselves the embarrassment by getting your heads out of the sand and champion an investigation as to why our brain dead research, healthcare (doctors are afraid to speak out) and our politicians who get big campaign contributions from the drug industry continue to ignore what a ten year-old could easily understand.
I guess they're like the rest of us. Who among us would speak out to say something that would do away with our jobs?
Are you afraid to speak out? Maybe you just don't understand? Am I doing that bad a job of getting this across to you? Is it healthcares job to pick up where abortion leaves off?
You know I wont quit, ever!!! Be a hero for humanity, not a coward.
Do You Have Cancer and Should You Have Chemotherapy?
Ask you doctor:
1. If he is aware of a 1986 New England Journal of Medicine Report which stated that the survival rate of people who had chemotherapy was only 3%. As of 2001, these figures remain the same.
2. If a healthy immune system is the only thing that can get us well and keep us well, why would anyone give chemotherapy to a patient if it destroys your immune system?
3. To show you studies of the number of patients alive five years after chemo, and what percentage of those alive after five years are totally free of cancer. Likewise for his own patients.
4. For a copy of the 1974 Lancet Medical Journal report that says in every case that people with no chemo lived better and longer than those who had it.
5. Aren't chemo drugs made from left over, deadly, chemical warfare poisons?
6. What percentage of people who are given chemo are killed because of the toxicity of chemo?
7. Would your doctor give chemo to a member of his own family, or choose something else?
8. Does he give chemo because he knows it works or because he's been told to follow the cancer protocols because he cold get sued if he doesn't?
9. Is he interested in hearing how a famous M.D. got rid of terminal cancer without chemo, surgery, radiation or drugs?
10. If he is interested in hearing how a local man got rid of twenty-six malignant tumors and incurable cancer after Geisinger Hospital sent him home to get his affairs in order? Likewise, he had no chemo, surgery, radiation or drugs.
11. If he believes that nutrition and hydration are very important in preventing cancer and getting rid of it?
By the time your doctor answers these questions or ignores them, you should know what to do. You should also list your own questions to ask. Most importantly, listen to Dr. Lorraine Day's taped interview from 'Positive Press On The Air', WAAT 750 AM Scranton. It details much of what she did to get rid of incurable cancer. Then make your decision. Why should anyone but you decide what to do with your life?
Number of Cancer Deaths Still on the Rise?
We all either know someone who has died from or dealt with cancer, or has a person in their life who has. As promised, I have been continuing my investigation into cancer cases, deaths, and treatments. According to the American Cancer Society, there were 77,500 new cases reported in Pennsylvania in 1996; 77,400 new cases reported in 1997; and 68,800 new cases reported in 1998. Yes, the publication for 1998 is already printed as of November 12, 1998! Those numbers actually show a decrease in reported new cases of cancer. The National Cancer Institute at the National Institute of Health reports that according to the American Cancer Society--in 1996 there were 554,740 deaths from cancer; in 1997 there were 560,000 deaths; and in 1998 there were 564,800 deaths in the United States from cancer. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) advised me that the American Cancer Society figures are projections. In my last article I mentioned that the National Cancer Institute informed me that it is not "mandatory" for hospitals, clinics, nor physicians to report cancer statistics. There are however several organizations seeking to compile numbers such as The American College of Surgeons and "individual cancer centers" with their efforts to form a "consortium" to form a data base.
In light of the numbers reported above, considering that only participants in "trials or studies" are reported in the numbers, then how many more new cases are actually occurring? I can't help but wonder if the "projected numbers" are only the tip of the iceberg that could sink the ship. With enormous fund raising efforts ongoing, are we accurately reporting data as to occurance, cures, and deaths? Neither the American Cancer Society, nor the NCI can give me figures on the effectiveness of chemo therapy and radiation in treating cases, yet physicians constantly recommend surgery, chemo therapy and radiation as primary and "adjunctive" or subsequent therapies to their patients ( including my past case). Is this based on projected numbers taken from reported cases in trials and studies only? There are no numbers collected on people like me or Dr. Lorraine Day and countless others who experience healing from cancers using alternative therapies. Dr. Day avoided breast surgery and chemotherapy and opted instead for The "water cure" including salt and dietary changes. Information on alternative choices is available if you call (717) 457-3630.
The American College of Surgeons, in seeking to form it's data base, will include only those patients electing to use surgery as a primary cure with follow up on those patients electing to use adjunctive or chemo, radiation, or combination therapies. The National Cancer Institute was only able to send me the American Cancer Societies 1996 edition of "Cancer Facts and Figures" and the American Cancer Society is sending me the 1997 and 1998 editions. I don't know why the NCI did not send the 97 and 98 editions or if they received them from the American Cancer Society. Next time I'll report on some of 1997 and 1998 numbers.
In my opinion, there doesn't seem to be a cohesive effort in our country to compile accurate numbers instead of projections. With cancer being the second largest cause of death in America, I want to know accurate numbers when I consider my options. I'd like to know the numbers of new cases, treatment options, and cure rates - including alternative treatments, and occurance of death. In the mid 1970's, then President Nixon launched a campaign to eliminate cancer or to at least make an effort to cure the disease. Is the money raised well spent, or can we ever raise enough money to adequately research and report the vital information needed so that people can make informed decisions? Is Alternative therapy as effective as those of us who have experienced it claim it is? Why is it ignored by the traditional medical establishment and often referred to as "voodoo medicine"?
With around 1.5 million new cases reported each year, God only knows how many cases are not reported, I want some answers. I am fortunate and blessed that water, salt, and alternative treatments along with faith and a positive attitude have healed me. What about you?
Are you willing to call or write someone--anyone, to ask vital questions about where our money is being spent? Is the pharmaceutical industry that powerful, that Americans follow like sheep without seeking more information? Are the numbers reported as to influence our decisions?
This is the "Positive Press" and I intend to make a difference. Are you willing to make an attempt to bring about change in what may eventually touch you or someone you love? Please don't wait until it may be too late. Let me know your thoughts, please. Call The N. E. Metro-The Positive Press at 457-3630 or E-mail me at drewpos@aol.com.
This article is dedicated to 3 of my grandparents, my aunt, several great aunts and uncles all of whom have succumbed to cancer in my lifetime. My investigation continues!
