Dedicated to Eradicating Rheumatoid Disease From the Earth

From The Editor: Alternative Medicine

by Perry A. Chapdelaine, Sr., Executive Director/Secretary

For several generations alternative medicine has been considered

a quackery and a hoax by those who belong to the established order of

medicine. But who are those in the "estab-

lished order of medicine"? And who are those

that practice "alternative medicine"?

It's not so easy to tell the two apart: they

have the same medical degrees from the same

prestigious universities; they're licensed by

the same medical boards; their names and

addresses are joined together in the same

telephone yellow pages . . . .

So how do we tell the two apart, the

"established order of medicine", and those

who practice alternative therapies?

The "established order of medicine" may

provide you with a toxic drug that frequently

suppresses your symptoms, but may not halt

the cause of the disease. Examples: aspirin for your headache; often

extremely toxic substances for your arthritis; daily insulin shots for

your diabetes; destroy the cancerous tumor, but not the cause of the

tumor.

You will often find that alternative practitioners explore with you

the causes of your symptoms. Examples: allergies that produce head-

aches, arthritis or diabetes; colon toxification that can produce head-

aches, arthritis or diabetes; root canal infections that can produce

headaches, arthritis or diabetes, and so on.

The "established order of medicine" is often not concerned about

diet and health,

Any successful farmer knows that diet and health are closely in

touch. Without proper nutrients, cows, pigs, and chickens will not

Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide is encyclopedic, based on the experiences of 380 alternative medical practitioners

printed on 1,100 pages. It is designed for you, a lay reader, and it should form the very first source material for any ache or pain. User-

friendly, it provides information about preventative measures, self-help cures, and non-traditional options for healthcare. Hundreds

of available alternative treatments are provided to you that are safe, effective and affordable.

For the most part, people are both sick and tired of the established order of treatments and costs, and are searching for better

alternatives. This book is a first answer, a must for everyone!

Almost any bookstore can provide you with a copy. You can also order one through us for a $60 contribution.

In our opinion, there’s been no other medical book of this high quality and far-reaching content.

Burton Goldberg is also publishing Alternative Medicine Digest, a bi-monthly magazine that draws from the scientific literature

and from top-ranking medical doctors successful alternative treatments in every form of disease. In one brief article (Issue 14, p.19)

which describes the successful treatment of Elizabeth, age 50, who was incapacitated from inflammatory arthritis, her physician, Lee

Cowden, M.D. of Texas says that the key is to place the patient on a healthy diet, detoxify the intestines, restore the acid-alkaline (pH)

balance in the tissues, and get the toxins draining out of the body. Then the immune system no longer produces antibodies against the

body’s own cells and “the arthritis goes away”.

You can subscribe to this magazine for $20 for six issues from 1640 Tiburon Blvd., Suite 2, Tiburon, CA 94920, or call (800) 333-HEAL.

Establishment practi-

tioners define "preventive

medicine" as coming in

early and often for a breast

examination. Alternative

practitioners define "pre-

ventive medicine" as do-

ing the things necessary to

reduce the need for having

breast examinations.

Besides comparing

treatment regimens, the

"established order of medi-

cine", can also be known

by their results. For more

than fifty years the war against cancer (read, the symptom of cancer, the

tumor) has been waged with radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery.

Despite much ballyhoo in the media, statistics demonstrate that those

who do not have these treatments, have been for the most part

unaffected, live slightly longer than those who do -- and certainly in far

more comfort.

There is another characteristic of the “established orderof medi-

cine”: The establishment controls the politics and licensing of medi-

cine! But, it is the pharmaceutical industries' drive for profits that

controls those who control the politics and licensing of medicine.
