Many of the answers to questions I receive are already given in my Workbook, my DVDs/videos, and my CDs/audios. These materials are available on my website at www.drday.com for anyone who wants them. If you ask a question that is already answered in those materials, I will direct you to where the answer is In those materials. That’s why I wrote the Workbook and made the DVDs and CDs so I wouldn’t have to answer the same questions over and over again and so the answers would be available to all who may be interested.
If you truly want to be well there are no "Quick Fixes". That is why I refer you to my materials, because it takes time, study and patience to get well.
This column is for educational information only. You have the God-given right to treat yourself, but if you do, you must take the responsibility. I, Dr. Lorraine Day, and Rockford Press, Inc. take no responsibility.
To ask Dr. Day a Question
Q1. My doctor tells me that chemotherapy and radiation are necessary to get me well from cancer but I've seen a lot of my friends get very sick and die with this treatment and I'm concerned. Will this treatment really make me well?
A1. Chemotherapy and radiation do not make the body well. They destroy, they do not heal. The hope of the doctor is that the cancer will be destroyed without destroying the entire patient. These therapies do kill cancer cells, but they kill a lot of good cells too including the cells of the immune system, the very system that one NEEDS to get well. If a cancer patient survives the treatment with enough immune system left intact, the patient may appear to get well at least temporarily, but he will have sustained major damage to his body and his immune system. How much better it is to nourish the immune system directly by the use of natural therapies to assist it in getting you well instead of destroying it by the use of these therapies. Then the immune system itself can kill the cancer cells without any side effects and heal your body at the same time.
Q2. I have heard you say that your health plan works for many different diseases. How can this be true? Isn't there a specific drug or treatment for each disease?
A2. Drugs NEVER cure diseases. Drugs, such as antibiotics, kill bacteria but they kill bacteria indiscriminately which leads to serious bowel problems. In addition, ALL antibiotics have side effects, many that are very severe and can sometimes cause death. But in most cases drugs cover up the symptoms of the disease allowing the disease to get worse. If a patient recovers, it is the immune system that has done the job. If you nourish the immune system by diet, by decreasing stress and by the use of other natural methods, it can keep you free from ALL disease.
Q3. If there really are CURES for cancer, why wouldn't my doctor tell me about them?
A3. Your doctor is trying to provide the best treatment for you within his or her knowledge. But doctors are not taught about health in medical school - only about disease. Most doctors do not receive even ONE HOUR of training in nutrition during their four years of medical school. The pharmaceutical industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. It provides much of the funding for research in medical schools and nearly all of the advertising in medical journals. It's the old GOLDEN RULE: he who has the gold - rules! So doctors learn ONLY about drugs!
Q4. Do you have TESTIMONIALS from people who have followed the Ten Step Natural Health Plan that you used to get well?
A4. Yes, there are a number of live, spontaneous Testimonials on a video on the top of my home page at www.drday.com, as well as on my DVDs "Believing is Seeing" and "Drugs Never Cure Disease." There are also many Testimonials that have come by letter or e-mail. Posted on this link are just a few, as we are in the process of compiling and posting large numbers from our files. Many more testimonials will be added as we have time to post them. So please check back againl.

New Questions and Answers Added Regularly
61. Q. Mesothelioma. Last month my husband was told he has malignant mesothelioma. This, as all the Doctors here say, is a rare and slow moving disease. He's already had all the tests and it was confirmed. My husband is 78 with no problems until he had the chest pain. We have always lived a pretty healthy lifestyle
A. Unfortunately, when people say, “we have always lived a pretty healthy lifestyle” and someone is sick with a potentially fatal disease - that is a rather deadly mindset. Cancer of ALL types is caused by the way we think, act, live, handle stress, and eat. If one has decided that he or she has “lived a pretty healthy lifestyle” then he or she is more prone to think that this disease just “fell out of the sky.” We GIVE disease to ourselves one day at a time, by the way we think, act, handle stress, live and eat.
In order to REVERSE the disease, we must dramatically change the way we think, act, live, handle stress and eat. I think you will have to admit that your husband WAS “having problems” before he had the chest pain. His body had to be VERY sick in order to develop the cancer. It was just silent for a long time BEFORE it was large enough to cause symptoms or to be diagnosed.
He doesn't want to do Chemotherapy and Radiation as we do believe in what you have to say and are trusting in the Lord.
You say you are “trusting in the Lord” and yet, in the next sentence you say you are talking to the Doctors, as though the Lord works through doctors. Doctors give drugs, which the Bible identifies as sorceries (Rev. 18:23 “The WHOLE WORLD will be deceived by their SORCERIES.” That word “sorceries” is the word “Pharmacy” pharmakeia in the Greek. God calls the “treatment” that doctors give sorceries and witchcraft.) The Bible tells us we “Ought to obey GOD rather than “man” (doctors).
Doctors aren't giving us much help on the Nutrition side since my husband is losing weight too rapidly.
Doctors don’t know anything about nutrition. And it takes a whole lot more than just the proper nutrition to get a person well from Cancer. The Health Plan I used to get well has TEN steps. In order to get well, one must follow ALL TEN Steps with 100% commitment. ALL disease begins in the “heart” because we want to live, think, handle stress, and eat in the way WE want to rather than the way GOD wants us to. So, it is in the “heart” that ALL disease must FIRST be addressed.
We had already gone to the raw veggies, salads and no red meat and now a power drink for energy.
You can’t be following the health plan that I used to get well, because that requires you to get rid of ALL animal products ALL meat, poultry, fish, milk, cheese, ALL dairy, and eggs and ALL processed food, and all refined sugar, and ALL additives, and ALL restaurant food, and ALL fast food, and ALL caffeine, and ALL alcohol, and many other things, because they ALL CAUSE the Cancer to GROW! And that is ONLY the beginning of the “nutrition” part of the Plan. And the Nutrition part of the Plan is ONLY ONE Step in the TEN Step Health Plan. . . . . . And “power drinks” are definitely NOT a part of God’s Health Plan!
Someone sent us a NO SUGAR cancer starving (cells) diet. It's pretty much the same suggestions you had but we are worried about the weight loss. The pain is the only thing that bothers him (same area as the Biopsy).
It takes a LOT MORE than just “no sugar” to Reverse one’s Cancer. And I discuss what to do about weight loss, in my Workbook “Getting Started on Getting Well” which is designed to help one implement the Health Plan that is on my nine DVDs on health.
The “pain” should NOT be the only thing that is bothering him. He has CANCER! THAT fact should be bothering him the most! The few changes he has made in his diet will NOT get him well. In order to get well, he must follow the WHOLE program ALL Ten Steps - with 100% commitment.
You need a lot more information than you have if your husband is going to get well. You didn’t tell me which DVD of mine you have. But if you want your husband to live, you must go to my website at www.drday.com and read EVERYTHING there, including ALL the links at the bottom of my home page, especially my article about how the body is designed to heal itself, AND you must read ALL the Frequently Asked Questions and my answers, even if you do not think they relate specifically to your husband’s condition because you will learn a lot about what it takes to get well.
Then, you should return to my home page and scroll down until you see the box that says, “What Do I Need to Get Started on This Health Plan?” and click there. That is what I recommend to Get Started. But that is ONLY a beginning. Once he has implemented ALL that information into his mind, heart, life, and diet, THEN he must continue to progress to total health by following the “Curriculum for Getting Well” that is in my Workbook, “Getting Started on Getting Well.”
ALL the information your husband needs to get well is in my materials that are available on my website. But HE must be fully committed to doing the Health Plan. And HE must study and learn and study and learn and KEEP studying and learning. You cannot do it for him. You can help him, but HE is the one who must be committed.
He does take pills for the pain as it is pretty bad. He has a high pain tolerance but finally gave in to taking two every 5 hours.
Any help? We are going to California soon to see our children.
I discuss Natural Methods of Pain Relief in my Workbook, “Getting Started on Getting Well.”
The LAST thing your husband should be doing is traveling. Traveling is very hard on the immune system and it is virtually impossible to follow the Health Plan while traveling. If your husband really wants to get well, he must stay home and get serious about getting well - - and start REALLY following the Health Plan. Otherwise, he is just fooling around with the “plan” and that will NEVER get him well. Your family should come to you rather than you going to them.
This is your husband’s life that is at stake. You and he will have to make some hard decisions. And the sooner the better!
60. Q. Memory Improvement? I am a 65 years old professional man and follow your plan. Recently I bought all your DVD's. What I would like to know if it would help to improve my memory? I am in active service and find my memory is letting me down.
A. If you really follow the whole plan with 100% commitment, your memory will improve very significantly.
The body is 75% water. The brain is 85% water. When you don't drink enough water, your memory will be impaired. When you eat animal fat or refined sugar, your arteries to your brain will be clogged. When you regularly eat the other harmful substances that are in fast food, process food, and restaurant food that are KNOWN to harm your brain and DECREASE your memory, you cause major damage to your thinking processes, decision-making and your memory. When you don't exercise regularly, you don't get enough oxygen to your brain. When you take medications, they ALL have adverse effects on your brain. When you don't get enough rest, your brain can't function properly. When you don't learn to truly handle ALL your stress by giving it ALL to the Lord (and not taking it back again as a burden), your brain will be so cluttered with all that stress that your memory will be impaired.
How could following the Ten Step Health Plan NOT improve your memory? A good memory is a result of following the Ten Step Health Plan with 100% commitment. Please see my website.
I am now 71 and I have the memory and the energy of a 25 year old, even after going through a terrible struggle with cancer that almost killed me and destroyed all my muscle mass from my long episode of being bedridden. It has taken me years to rebuild my stamina and my muscles to what they were before I got sick. But now I can work full time, do heavy work outs at the gym three times a week, do 40 minutes of vigorous aerobics at least 5-6 days per week, snow ski, water ski, play tennis, and briskly walk 8-12 miles at a time.
If YOU really follow the plan, YOU will be able to do all of that, too and you will even be able to REMEMBER that you did it!
59. Q. Arrhythmias: are they a disease or trauma - more like a broken leg? I am currently taking Cartia a calcium channel blocker to control SVT (Supraventricular Tachycardia) and Sinus tachycardia. My doctor says I do not have heart disease, thank the Lord, but that this is caused from an electrical circuit problem with the heart’s electrical path.
They tried doing radio frequency ablation but that did not work because they could not find the right spot to ablate. I feel fine now but I do not like the idea of needing to use drugs to control or prevent these arrhythmias, yet I do not see how diet or the other steps of the plan would help since this is an electrical problem that occurs sometimes.
A. Of course you have heart disease!! The SVT is in your HEART! It is ABNORMAL to have SVT. Therefore, by definition, you have HEART DISEASE! You're even taking a DRUG for the Heart disease. You’re even taking a DRUG named “Heart”! - "Cardia" is the word for "heart" in Greek (kardia). The DRUG companies just changed it a little and made it "Cartia" because the word "Cardia" probably cannot be patented. It's ridiculous, and profoundly ignorant, for your doctor to tell you that you don't have heart disease.
Do you realize how dangerous (and ineffective) it is to try to DESTROY a part of your HEART with radio frequency? "Ablation" means to DESTROY! Even if it had "worked" - it WOULDN'T have "worked" - because your problem wasn't caused by not having had enough radio frequency destruction done to your heart.
You shouldn't "feel fine" now. You may be temporarily free of symptoms - but you have NOT solved the problem. The DRUGS are just covering up the problem, while YOU are making it worse by continuing to do the SAME things that CAUSED the problem in the first place. So, sooner or later, the problem will return - and it will be MUCH WORSE, because you have done NOTHING to solve it.
Everything in the body is "electric." There is a tiny charge on the surface of EVERY cell in your body. The brain puts out electrical charges constantly when you think. When a person is bleeding in the ocean, a shark will find him - NOT by "smelling" his blood - but by the electrical current that comes out of the wound WITH the blood.
How one LIVES, EATS, and even THINKS - affects the electrical currents in the body and brain - ALL of them. So just because you cannot "see" how that can happen, nevertheless, it does.
Q. In 2005 I had several episodes that drove me to get help from the emergency room. After that, about once or twice a year I have an event in which I can control it with Valsalva maneuvers (Dr. Day explanation: A maneuver in which one holds his breath and bares down, which is known to reverse an arrhythmia, on occasion, because of stimulation of the Vagus nerve), but not always.
I realize you cannot diagnose this or offer specific advice to me but generally speaking is this something like a broken leg? In other words, you say doctors are great if you have trauma - a broken leg or arm, etc. but they do not treat or prevent diseases properly. Put another way, is this electrical problem similar to treating something mechanically broken, rather than like treating a disease? If you get what I am asking.
I do not use any illegal drugs or stimulants, and have no, to very little, caffeine or alcohol intake.
A. NO! This is a DISEASE that YOU have brought on yourself by the way you have been living and eat. The things you are eating and drinking (or not eating and not drinking) and the way you are living, including the stress in your life and how you are handling it are the culprits. You have done this to yourself! And the ONLY way to STOP it is to FOLLOW God's Health Plan with 100% commitment and get your body healthy again. It is NOT ONLY the food that you are eating, but the violation of the OTHER TEN STEPS in the health plan, TOO, that are causing your problem.
You CAN reverse the problem. But DRUGS - and attempts at ablation therapy” (attempts at destroying part of your heart muscle!) - are only COVERING UP your problem, NOT solving it! I discuss heart problems on my DVD, “Diseases Don’t Just Happen.” Please see my website.
58. Q. Is Carrot Juice BAD because of all the “sugar”? My wife is on your program. She had a lumpectomy 5 years ago, had radiation and was OK until recently when she was found to have bone cancer throughout her body. She must get another cat scan to determine if her organs are affected. She has a broken rib because of the cancer and is hurting quite a bit. I ordered two of your books and tapes.
I have started her on the program but she is very concerned that all the carrots will cause a large amount of sugar to be consumed, and we understand that sugar is forbidden.
A. Your wife was NOT "OK until recently” because she had done NOTHING to REVERSE her cancer in the previous 5 years. In fact, she had done MORE damage to herself by taking radiation - that harms the body tremendously and weakens the immune system, and CAUSES cancer.
I realize that at that time, she probably didn't know any better, but the Radiation she took actually was in LARGE part responsible for her present condition in which the Cancer has spread dramatically.
One CANNOT develop Cancer unless he or she has a severely weakened immune system - from the way they have been living and eating. Then, when one takes Radiation OR Chemotherapy - BOTH of which HARM the immune system even MORE - and BOTH of which actually CAUSE Cancer, they weaken their body's ability to resist disease, and the disease, (Cancer - or whatever other disease they have) gets EVEN WORSE !
The Radiation that was ordered by the doctors to supposedly "help" her - actually HARMED her body even MORE by suppressing her immune system, which allowed the Cancer to spread everywhere.
I explain on my DVD "You Can't Improve on God" that there is a BIG difference between the NATURAL sugars that God, Himself, placed in healthy FOOD, as opposed to the REFINED sugars that are in Twinkies, Ho Ho's, cakes, candy, sodas, etc. placed there by “man.”
The Media and Orthodox Medicine want you to believe that coffee, wine, meat, poultry and fish, MSG, Nutrasweet, etc. are ALL "good" for you (yet they ALL do IMMENSE harm to your body), but somehow home-made CARROT JUICE, they say, will do you harm! Those are the LIES of the Media and Orthodox Medicine groups who have NO ability to understand how one can get well by God's Natural Health Plan. ALL they know are DRUGS and SURGERY!
Look where Orthodox Medicine has gotten your wife with their “treatment” - almost on her Deathbed. And their “treatment” only made her Cancer WORSE, because it harmed her immune system SO much (and she did NOTHING to REVERSE her disease) that her Cancer re-appeared with a vengeance!
I would think that would make you and her - very skeptical of "man's" way of doing things (the doctors and the media), and she would, instead, start wanting to trust in GOD, and in the FOOD that God has made, rather than trusting “man-made” chemicals and other “treatments.”
And remember, the proper diet is ONLY Ten Percent of the Health Plan. In order to get well, one must follow ALL Ten steps, including learning to LOVE your enemies, learning to FORGIVE EVERYONE who has ever wronged you, learning to give ALL your STRESS to the Lord, and all the rest of the Health Plan as well.
57. Q. New Age Medicine. A couple of days ago I received what appears to be some outstanding research and treatment information related to cancer. When you have about 30 minutes, please view the two links I have e-mailed to you and let me know what you think, and if you've heard of this person and what he's doing, before now.
A. This man is combining the horrors of orthodox medicine with the errors of New Age Eastern Medicine. The "health" practitioners doing that are a dime a dozen. There is NOTHING new or "outstanding" about any of it. It DOESN'T work because it is NOT of God. It is "man's" way of doing things - NOT God's. I discuss all these things on my DVD "Sorting Through the Maze of Alternative Medicine: What Works, What Doesn't and Why." Please see my website at www.drday.com
56. Q. Supposed “Autoimmune” Diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjogren’s syndrome, Crohn’s disease, ankylosing spondylitis, aplastic anemia, Grave’s disease, Lupus, Wegener’s granulomatosis, Polymyalgia Rheumatica, Multiple Sclerosis, Celiac Disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and a HOST of other diseases that Orthodox medical doctors put in this category.
A. None of these diseases should be classified as “autoimmune diseases.” This is just a convenient way for doctors to “classify” a disease for which they have NO CLUE about what to do. In almost every case, they end up giving either DANGEROUS Prednisone (or some other cortisone derivative) which NEVER cures the disease and only weakens the patient even MORE and has terrible long-term consequences to EVERY system in your body, including causing Osteoporosis, glaucoma, Cancer, and many more horrible diseases, or they will give an equally DANGEROUS Chemotherapy drug that has horrific side effects and can end up giving you Cancer that AGAIN will weaken you and will do NOTHING to permanently Cure your condition.
The doctor will tell you that your immune system has become “too strong” and it is now “attacking your own body.” That is ABSURD! That is utter FOOLISHNESS! But THAT is what we doctors are ALL taught in our Medical Training.
To suggest that your immune system is “too strong” and therefore makes you SICK is like saying that if you get really, really healthy being REALLY “healthy” will eventually make you SICK! That is ridiculous and stupid on the part of Orthodox Medicine to even come up with such an absurd line of thinking. The immune system is what keeps you WELL and free from disease. Your immune system is what FIGHTS diseases. If it is STRONG, it will do a GOOD JOB of keeping you well. If it is STRONG, it will NOT make you sick!
ALL of these diseases are CAUSED by the way a person lives, thinks, acts, and eats resulting in a “sick” immune system NOT an immune system that is “too strong.” Fortunately, ALL these diseases can be REVERSED by CHANGING the way one lives, thinks, acts and eats and, by doing so, RE-BUILDING their immune system.
I discuss this “category” of diseases on my DVD “Diseases Don’t Just Happen.” The way to REVERSE these diseases is the SAME way that I got well from Cancer by CHANGING the way one thinks, acts, lives and eats and, thus, RE-BUILDING the immune system. That Health Plan is on my DVD “You Can’t Improve on God” with my Workbook, “Getting Started on Getting Well” to help one implement the Health Plan that is on my DVDs.
There is NO “Quick Fix “ NO “silver bullet” for these diseases. It took a LONG time for the sick person to GIVE THEMSELVES their disease (unknowingly, of course). Fortunately, it takes LESS time to get well than it took for them to makes themselves sick, but it still requires a strict regimen and a major commitment and dedication to the complete Ten Step Program in order to get well. Please read everything on my website at www.drday.com including all the links down at the bottom of my home page, including my article on how the body is designed to heal itself.
55. Q. Severe Critism of you. I have read some severe criticism from one individual in particular on a web site on the internet. I realize this man is full of lies and is a loser. It is well established in my mind now that his words are nothing that can be trusted. Thank you for the direction, and your response to him on your website at www.drday.com in the section entitled “Dr. Day Responds to Her Critics.
This still leaves the question and I hope it doesn’t offend you, but I do need to know why the results of your last debulking procedure are not made public when you are so open about everything else. Also, the question remains as to the lymph being involved. Can you please provide any insight on this? You have just been so open with what you lovingly provided for us to learn from, and I thank you for this from the bottom of my heart. I found out 4 months ago that I have the same cancer as you had and the lymph is affected.
Thank you again, and I look forward to your response.
54. Q. I want you to do my research for me, and I still don’t believe you are alive. The website of _____________ says it can cure cancer. What is your opinion? Does the stuff have any merit?
A. I would like to follow up on every website that people send to me, but unfortunately there is not enough time to do that. The ONLY way for a person to truly get well from ANY disease, is to rebuild their immune system by NATURAL Methods, and that does NOT include "man-made" pills and supplements. And the plan to rebuild one's immune system includes a LOT more than just the proper nutrition. The Health Plan has Ten Steps. And ALL of them must be instituted with 100% commitment in order for a person to get well.
Please tell me which of my materials you already have, and if you've read everything on my website at www.drday.com including all the links at the bottom of my home page, including my article on how the body is designed to heal itself.
Q. I have read everything on your site. I have ordered all material pertaining to cancer. I have esophageal cancer.
I was in the line for the 11 week cancer treatment at the ___________ cancer center. They say I have Stage 4 Cancer and pronounced me as terminal. I have been studying alternatives to the established medical torture. After one week I decided by myself that the normal treatment would kill me faster.
I have found that everything happens to me for a reason. I have some psychic abilities. I may or may not die from this cancer. I not totally sure it is still up to me. That doesn’t mean I have given up. Many of my friends have been doing Natural cures for years. Many of them do not work. But some do.
Living in the great red desert area of Wyoming it is tough to get to much fresh anything. I am not sure totally if you have the complete answer or not.
I read the FAQ question asking if you were still alive. Even though you answered that your are alive, something is telling me something is wrong. It appears that the answers that are given on your website and emails are “Buy my materials” based. Your Materials are not that expensive, and any good Advice is worth a lot.
Maybe your answers are computer based. Regardless, I am looking forward to the materials.
Are you really part of this? Are you Alive?
A. I'm not sure what I could do to convince you that I am still alive short of coming to your house and knocking on your door.
I made my first video/DVD "You Can't Improve on God" because so many people were asking me HOW I got well by natural methods. You gave yourself cancer, just like I gave myself cancer. We GIVE ourselves cancer one day at a time, by the way we think, live and eat, so in order to REVERSE it, we must CHANGE the way we think, live and eat. In order to do that, one must learn a LOT of information that is quite different from what the commercial media, or orthodox medicine has been brainwashing people with for decades.
Then, I made my second video/DVD on how to get well from many diseases OTHER than cancer, called "Diseases Don't Just Happen." Then I kept on making DVDs, in response to the many letters I received. I began to understand that people know so little about health and their body and what actually CAUSES disease, that I kept on making DVDs, and then finally I wrote my Workbook to help people implement the Health Plan that is on my DVDs. I realized, from the mail I received, that people have gotten so FAR away from health and spiritual understanding of their heart, mind, as well as their body, that I really had to start from "scratch." One of the most frequent questions I was asked was, "How big is a glass?" Then, I KNEW I had to start from "scratch."
There is NO WAY I could tell a person, in an e-mail, or even in many e-mails, what they need to know in order to get well. THAT is why I put it all on DVDs, CDs, and in my books. But people will have to obtain them and start STUDYING and LEARNING what they need to know about how to be well. If they don't want to do that, then they won't be able to get well.
I refer people to my materials, because THAT is what they need to start studying. And they have to watch/read/listen to the materials repeatedly until it really sinks in. It is a process. There is NO “Quick Fix.”
People have gotten so used to the doctor "taking care of them" that they don't really want to study and learn what it takes to take care of themselves. But if they don't want to do that, they'll never get well.
If someone bought just ONE of my DVDs, "You Can't Improve on God" for $19.95 plus shipping and handling, and REALLY followed it, they could be totally well for the rest of their natural life - and keep their whole family well, too. In fact, if a person purchased EVERYTHING I have on my website, it would cost under $400.00. Whereas, the average cost for Orthodox "treatment" for Cancer is somewhere between $300,000 and $1,000,000, and the sick patient is happy to pay it. They’ll even mortgage their house to pay to be poisoned with chemotherapy or burned with radiation, or have surgery that mutilates their body. And yet the result of those “treatments” is to make a person violently ill, destroy their immune system, and in many cases - it KILLS them. They have PAID the doctors to KILL them!
But if THAT is what people prefer, it is a FREE country!
And if you think that THIS answer is computer-generated, there is nothing I can say to convince you otherwise. I, personally, answer ALL the e-mails on health. They are not computer-generated, nor are they answered by ANYONE other than me. And if you are really psychic, you would know that!
Many people think it's sophisticated and erudite to doubt everything! They think there is NO "real truth." It's just what each individual THINKS is "truth" they say. Well, THAT also is a result of the dumbing-down of the school system and the swallowing of propaganda from the commercial media. There IS truth, but one must really search for it. But that takes time and hard work, which many are not willing to expend.
As one philosopher aptly said, "Man prefers to believe what he prefers to be true."
At least one motivation for people spreading the rumor that I have died is that they can then say, "See, her plan DOESN'T work, because SHE died." Then they can feel free to live and eat any way they want. They don't have to have even the least twinge of guilt for indulging themselves in any activity or any food that they want.
People LOVE to be skeptical about what they don't really WANT to do.
53. Q. Restless Legs Syndrome. Could you please tell me what causes Restless Legs Syndrome? I have in the past purchased e-books on 'salt elimination', and " voiding the bladder " but none of these were a so-called "cure”, far from it.
One does need to sleep at night and the only medication which has helped me is levodopa /carbidopa 100/25 and I will not use more than 1 1/2 tablets daily in divided doses.
It is just frustrating when after a long day, I put up my legs to rest, and there it is again!
Any information will be much appreciated.
A. "Restless Legs Syndrome" is a totally NEW disorder. It was never talked about, treated as a "diagnosis" or even experienced by people until the last five or ten years, or maybe even less.
I'm going to lead you through some questions to make a point.
1. Is it reasonable to conclude that if you constantly poke a crocodile with a stick, he may get agitated?
2. Doesn't over-stimulation cause agitation?
3. Isn't agitation essentially the same as "restlessness"?
4. Do you think it makes sense to conclude that if your legs are "restless" that over-stimulation may be the cause?
5. What types of things in your life can cause restlessness or agitation or over-stimulation?
There are MANY things, in MANY areas of your life, that can cause over-stimulation, agitation or restlessness. It is a Multi-factorial (meaning it is caused by many different factors) problem.
Let's start with what you eat and drink:
If you really think about it, you already KNOW many of the things that you eat and drink cause stimulation, including:
Caffeine (in coffee and in soda and in chocolate),
Refined Sugar (in soda, sweets, and in most processed foods and fast food)
Additives to processed foods and fast food
Artificial flavors (dangerous chemicals) in processed foods, fast food, sodas and almost everything else in bottles and cans. They are ALL dangerous
Artificial colors (dangerous chemicals) in processed foods, fast foods, sodas and almost everything else in bottles and cans. They are ALL dangerous
Preservatives (dangerous chemicals) in processed foods, fast foods, sodas and almost everything else in bottles and cans. They are ALL dangerous.
MSG (a non-nutritive flavor enhancer that is added to virtually ALL packaged, processed and restaurant food) and Nutrasweet and other artificial sweeteners - they are ALL deadly and contribute to a host of terrible conditions, including Restless Legs, Parkinson's, blindness, CANCER, MS, and many other life-threatening conditions.
Eating flesh food (meat, poultry, fish, ALL dairy products and eggs). Not only does factory farming add hormones to the animals, but the animal or fish itself POURS OUT adrenalin from its OWN body when it knows it is about to be killed. When YOU eat that dead animal, YOU get a HUGE shot of that adrenalin (it is NOT destroyed by cooking). Plus you get ALL the additional hormones that are given to the factory-farmed animals.
And this is just a START in itemizing the things that the average person eats every day. The rest of the things are on my DVDs, CDs and in my books
Then, look at medications. ALL medications, including over the counter medications, such as aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, antacids and every other kind of drug, including thyroid pills and anti-depressants - that now seem to be taken by half of the people in the world, and virtually ALL other medications - prescription or non-prescription. They ALL have a negative, and frequently stimulatory, effect on the body.
Lack of water drinking (in the proper amounts) contributes to Restless Legs.
And what you watch on TV, what you read in the newspaper, the type of music you listen to in CDs or on the radio - - ALL of these cause certain chemicals to be produced by your body. If you watch, read, and listen to the WRONG things, it will cause BAD chemicals to be produced in your body. If you read and listen to GOOD things, it will cause beneficial substances to be produced in your body.
Lack of the proper amount of sunshine can cause agitation and contribute To Restless Legs.
And how you handle stress can contribute to Restless Legs.
I think you now understand that there is NO "Quick Fix." There are MANY things that you are doing to contribute to this problem.
But you can CURE it COMPLETELY, if you are willing to do what it takes, and that means changing just about everything about your life. But if you do, your entire body will benefit from the changes, and your health will improve in EVERY area. You need to learn how to fix the proper food that your body needs to heal itself, what to read, what to listen to, how much exercise is necessary and of what type, how you must learn to handle stress, how you need to hydrate your body, and how you should view life. All of this, and more, in my materials on my website.
Please go to my website at www.drday.com and read everything there, including ALL the links down at the bottom of my home page, including my article on how the body is designed to heal itself. Then go to the box on my home page that says, "What Do I Need to Get Started on This Health Plan?" and click there. Scroll down until you see "For Diseases Other Than Cancer." THAT is what you need to Get Started. THEN you can continue to progress to total health and freedom from all symptoms by continuing to follow the "Curriculum for Getting Well" that is in my Workbook "Getting Started on Getting Well." The Workbook is designed to help you implement the Health Plan that is on my DVDs and CDs.
However, if you choose NOT to change these things, and take drugs to cover up the problem (and just decrease your symptoms temporarily), you will be on the path to much more serious and life-threatening diseases. THIS should be a wake-up call for you to CHANGE the way you are thinking, living, and eating. If you don't, you are heading for a disaster somewhere down the line - sooner or later.
These same things that contribute to Restless Legs, contribute to every other disease as well.
The reason Restless Legs is a "new" condition, is that people are living and eating SO MUCH WORSE than they used to, and they are more stressed than ever before - so they're getting all these "new" diseases and disorders that the doctors don't seem to be able to figure out!! And the reason they can't figure them out is that the ONLY way they know how to “treat” these conditions is with DRUGS.
And Drugs NEVER Cure Disease, they only cover up the symptoms while the disease keeps getting worse, and moves to other places in your body. Drugs only change the FORM and the LOCATION of the disease - they NEVER cure it. The disease just goes underground and smolders and smolders until it erupts in Cancer, or MS, or Lupus, or Parkinson's, or ALS, or one of a host of terrible life-threatening conditions.
The drug you are taking is very, very dangerous, and has numerous, deadly side effects. Even though you may not be experiencing them right now, the drug is silently doing damage to your body. So you will eventually end up in WORSE condition than you are now.
Here are only some of the side effects of this drug. I am quoting directly from the PDR the Physician's Desk Reference - the "bible" of drugs for doctors. It is published by the Pharmaceutical industry, and the following are the side effects of this drug - that they ADMIT to. There are, undoubtedly, MANY more.
Again, I am quoting here just a FEW of the many side effects listed:
Chest pain, heart irregularities, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, gastrointestinal bleeding, duodenal ulcer, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, destruction of red blood cells, destruction of white blood cells, destruction of blood-clotting cells, severe hives and intense itching (urticaria), massive swelling with hives and itching (angioedema), back pain, muscle cramps, psychotic episodes - including hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, confusion, agitation, dizziness, nightmares, headaches, insomnia, depression with or without suicidal tendencies, dementia, convulsions, hair loss, heart attack, leg pain, gait abnormalities, memory disturbances, muscle twitching, increased tremor, malignant melanoma, urinary incontinence, fainting, bizarre breathing patterns, and numerous abnormal blood tests.
Again, this is a list of only SOME of the adverse side effects that are listed in the PDR.
Frankly, I would stick with the "Restless Legs" and not put myself at risk for ANY of these side effects by taking the drug the doctors have given you. Did your doctor tell you about ALL THESE side effects? Probably not. The Drug the doctor has given you is capable of producing FAR WORSE problems for you than what you already have!
But you CAN get rid of the problem. Because YOU GAVE YOURSELF the problem by the way you have been thinking, living, and eating. The GOOD NEWS is that YOU can REVERSE the problem by CHANGING the way you think, live and eat. But you must be willing to do what it takes in lifestyle and dietary changes to get well. And remember, it's NOT just what you eat that you need to change. Changes must be made in many other aspects of your life as well.
I hope you are motivated to do that.
If so, then ALL the information you need to REVERSE the situation by totally natural methods - that have NO adverse side effects - is on my DVDs, CDs, and in my books on my website at www.drday.com
52. Q. Herniated Disc (“Slipped Disc). I read everything on your website and when I visited my Primary Doctor today we spoke about you and like you, she believes in natural healing.
My medical problem is that exactly 28 years ago I had a Laminectomy and I've had terrible difficulty every since. The latest MRI indicates that the two lower discs are completely dehydrated and appear black on the x-ray. I'm now 65 years of age and the pain is becoming worse and I have considered disc replacement. However, every doctor I speak with says there are no guarantees and I could become worse after the procedure. Other than the lower Lumbar areas L4-5, S-1, I'm in very good health and I try to remain active.
I was wondering if there is any natural way to re-hydrate the disc without surgery?
A. Yes, indeed, you could become worse much worse after disc replacement. Back surgery is not very predictable. There are a lot of people around with “failed” surgical procedures on the spine and on the spinal discs. On my DVD “Diseases Don’t Just Happen,” I discuss how to RESTORE and re-hydrate dehydrated discs. I actually did it myself. I used to have severe disc problems, but I have REVERSED that problem by the same plan that allowed me to reverse my Cancer. Please see my website at www.drday.com
51. Q. Prostate: Elevated Enzyme (PSA). I have an elevated PSA of 64. I have no serious side effects, however, I wonder why the high number. I read an article saying that an increased PSA level indicates a GOOD response by the body. Meanwhile, allopathic medicine wants to slash, burn, and poison me. Any suggestions and/or comments would be greatly appreciated. I am 82 years old going on 60. Thank you and God Bless You
A. A PSA of 64 means you have a very high chance of having prostate cancer. The way to REVERSE this is in my materials on my website.
If you want to REVERSE this problem, go to my website at www.drday.com and read everything there, including ALL the links down at the bottom of my home page, and ALL the "Frequently Asked Questions" whether you think they apply to your condition or not (because you will learn a LOT from doing that), and then go to the area that says, "What Do I Need to Get Started on This Health Plan" and get that material and start following it with 100%.
In order to get well, you must change everything about your life. We GIVE ourselves Cancer, and ALL other diseases, one day at a time by the way we think, live and eat. In order to REVERSE the disease, we must CHANGE the way we think, live and eat.
You can REVERSE that PSA down to Normal - which is about 4. But it will take dedication and 100% commitment to the WHOLE Health Plan that is in my materials.
50. Q. GERD (Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disorder formerly known as plain old Heartburn.) Thank you for the information you have so graciously imparted to all the world. I know we will all be healthier due to your commitment to share medical knowledge. I am a follower of your practices and I believe in your teachings. I have one question:
I heard that apples are helpful in absorbing acid in people who suffer bouts of Acid Reflux. Have you any experience using apples as a help tool for this ailment to absorb excess acid?
A. It's actually a whole lot easier, and much more efficient, to eliminate gastro-esophageal reflux than trying to use apples. And the CURE is totally natural. The same things that eliminate this condition also prevent and eliminate stomach ulcers. I discuss this condition, and how to eliminate it entirely, on my DVD, "Diseases Don't Just Happen." Please see my website at www.drday.com
49. Q. “Recurrent” Cancer. A friend of mine referred me to you. My father has recently had a recurrence of cancer. For the last two years, we have battled colon cancer, liver cancer, and now it has returned to the lining of the abdomen. For several months, the PET/CAT and blood tests showed him to be cancer-free. He went to his routine check-up two weeks ago and received the bad news. The doctors don't give a great prognosis and want to begin chemotherapy again next week.
We need a miracle. Please advise. We are overwhelmed with the abundance of options available. What would be the first step? Is there a clinic he can visit? He is 62 years old, a beloved man, very strong man, and willing to try anything!
Please, please advise. We are devastated at the Doctors report and need hope and help!
A. Your father can STILL get well, even after all the terrible damage the orthodox doctors have done to his immune system, but he'll have to dig himself out of a very deep hole.
The first thing you and your father need to do is read EVERYTHING on my website at www.drday.com, including ALL the links down at the bottom of my home page, especially my article on how the body is designed to heal itself. And you need to read ALL the Frequently Asked Questions on my website, even though you may think they don't directly apply to your father's problem, because you will learn a lot by reading them.
Your father's cancer NEVER was actually gone. It is impossible to get a sick person well by giving him POISON - and that is what chemotherapy is. All the doctors did was suppress his cancer temporarily while at the same time DESTROYING most of his immune system - the ONLY system in the body that can get him well. So as the immune system got more and more suppressed by the damaging "treatment", the immune system could not stop the cancer from spreading.
If your father has MORE chemotherapy, it will very likely kill him. In his weakened state (weakened MOSTLY because of his "treatment" rather than from his cancer), he won't be able to survive being POISONED some more!
You will find by reading the information on my website that the ONLY way a patient with cancer or any other disease can get well is to STOP doing the things that made him sick in the first place, and START doing the things that will rebuild the immune system.
God has PROMISED to "heal ALL our diseases" (Psalm 103:3), but ONLY if we do it GOD'S way, and NOT "man's" (the doctors') way (Deut 7:11-15), because "man's" way always destroys the body and GOD'S way always heals the body.
It is God's way of healing that got me well and can get your father well, but ONLY if he follows it with 100% commitment - and if he follows God’s way ONLY. That is what is on my DVDs, CDs and in my books.
The Health Plan is designed to be done at home, the way I did it. ALL the information one needs to get well is in my materials. In those materials, I lead the patient "by the hand" telling him exactly how to do it.
One other thing, ALL disease begins in the "heart" because we want to think, act, live and eat OUR way, rather than God's way. Only much later does one develop symptoms in his body.
ONLY when we have a "heart" change, can we get well. The doctors can NEVER address the "heart" issue - which is where ALL disease starts.
We must have a change in our "heart," mind, actions, lifestyle and diet. And we must REALLY learn to trust God, and NOT "man."
No matter how much we have been propagandized, doctors are NOT of the Lord if they “treat” diseases with Drugs, because ALL drugs are HARMFUL and DESTROY the wonderful immune system that God has given us to get us well.
You will see this addressed more fully in the "Frequently Asked Questions" on my website and in great detail on my DVDs, CDs and in my books on my website.
Everything in God's health plan is totally natural, and made by God Himself, and used in the form God made it. "MAN" CANNOT Improve on God!
God's Health Plan has been available for 6,000 years, to every person on earth, in every country on earth, to the educated and the uneducated, and to the rich and poor, because God loves everybody the same. If it WASN'T available 6,000 years ago, then it is NOT part of God's Health Plan.

48. Q. Destruction of Christianity and the demeaning of Christ. Thank you very much for all the information that you have made available to the public in regards to Health, political and spiritual truth. I visit your website www.goodnewsaboutgod.com a lot and also have directed friends to it in order for them to read about what is going on in the world!
There is a movie called Zeitgeist and the part I've seen (it was showed to me by my husband) is very disturbing!
Of course I do not believe it, but I feel especially upset that a friend of mine is possibly buying into it. Its accusation is that Jesus Christ is nothing more than a copycat of other Egyptian gods (that lived before him). They speak about one with almost identical similarities -- the god Horus. They were showing similarities of their lives. Some articles are even saying that Horus was crucified between two thieves. I have searched the internet in this subject and I see that others are claiming that Jesus’ story is a copy from pagan gods. I have found a few articles disputing that also.
It would be great if you can have information covering this subject on your website. Do you have any information or know a good, credible website that you can direct me to in order to show people that these claims are not true?
A. Let's first start out with some excellent quotes from some wise philosophers.
1. "It is impossible to warn a pleased person." (If they are happy the ways things are, they have no need of anything else - and are not interested.)
2. "A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still."
3. "Man prefers to believe what he prefers to be true."
And then, from the wisest "Man" who ever walked the earth - Jesus Christ.
"Do not cast your pearls before swine." Matthew 7:6
"And this is the condemnation, that a light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil." John 3:19
The Bible tells us that the vast majority of people including “Christians,” will be led astray by deceptions in the latter days. In fact, Revelation 13 tells us that virtually the WHOLE WORLD will be deceived, except for a very few TRUE followers of Jesus Christ.
The reason a severe time of trouble is coming - and is almost here - is that it will force people to make a decision either FOR Christ, or AGAINST Him. The coming One World Government will take everything away from the people around the world - including jobs, food, water, and shelter, unless they deny Christ.
But in order for the majority of people, including Christians, to feel their need for Jesus Christ and to know truth, they must hit “rock bottom.” Christians today THINK they have a relationship with Jesus, but they really have a relationship with their "Church" and that will NOT help them when the crisis hits! When it comes to really trusting Jesus, they will fall like a row of dominoes.
Look at what they do when they get sick - they rush to "man" - the doctors. They pray to God to lead them to the "right doctor,” when it is JESUS Who has made the Promise of healing (Psalm 103:3). And the ONLY One who can fulfill a promise is the One who made it.
Jesus heals ALL our diseases (Psalm 103:3) but ONLY if we follow HIS ways (Deut 7:11-15) and NOT "man's" (the doctors') ways.
The Bible says that when man rejects truth, God will bring on him a Strong Delusion, so he will BELIEVE a lie.
When Jesus was on earth, He just talked to the people and told them truth. If a person turned away from the truth, He didn't go after them and try to convince them of the truth.
All we can do is live our life God's way and witness to anyone who really wants to know. But if they don’t want to know if they prefer to be in darkness - then whatever we say will fall on deaf ears anyway.
It's quite easy to tell by the facial response and body language of a person, if he or she is interested in knowing truth or not. Jesus said, "No one can come to Me unless the Father draws him." John 6:44 God must put it in their heart to WANT to know Him, before they are really interested in knowing truth, and seeking after God with all their heart. And the way God does that is to allow them to make enough bad decisions on their own that results in enough serious trouble for them that they eventually will WANT to know truth.
With some people, that will happen in this lifetime. But with the majority, that will not happen until the second resurrection and the judgment - when they will then reap what they have sown, and learn that THEIR decisions go wrong every time, and lead to severe consequences.
All we can do is tell the people who WANT to listen. And the rest, we just pray for. We also pray that God will bring to us people who WANT to know, and that we will be aware when those people come along and that we will not miss the opportunity.
I know exactly what you mean. It's very hard to know the truth when no one seems to want to hear it. But that's the same thing Jesus went through when He was on earth. By the time He was crucified, almost everyone had turned against Him. There were only about five people at the Cross with Him, and those five included His mother, just one disciple - John - and Mary Magdalene - who was the only one who really understood what was going to happen to Jesus.
It doesn't matter what website you might try to send these people to, "Man prefers to believe what he prefers to be true."
Just keep praying for them. God knows what He is doing in their life. He's certainly up to the job of saving those He has created.
There will be many more - and many worse - films than Zeitgeist. After all the Jews own Hollywood - and the Jews Run the World - and their Plan (as detailed in their "holiest" book - the Talmud) is to ELIMINATE Christianity and EXTERMINATE ALL CHRISTIANS. (For this documentation, please see my website www.goodnewsaboutgod.com and the article entitled "Now the U.S. Government Can Legally Kill Christians" written by my husband, former U.S. Congressman Bill Dannemeyer.)
47. Q. Anxiety and Panic Attacks. How do you treat panic attacks or anxiety? Is it better to see a psychotherapist or a psychiatrist?
A. The best treatment is to Get Well - so you don't HAVE panic attacks or anxiety anymore.
Both psychiatrists and psychotherapist will promote drug treatment for you, or they will bankrupt you financially with prolonged psychoanalysis. But neither will solve your problem.
If you are interested in getting well, you have to REVERSE the things that are causing your panic attacks and anxiety in the first place, not cover them up by allowing yourself to be drugged.
If you watch my DVDs "Cancer Doesn't Scare Me Anymore" and "Turn on the Light: Overcoming Anxiety and Depression (and all other mental disorders) WITHOUT Drugs" you will see that I suffered from SEVERE panic attacks and anxiety when I had cancer. But when I instituted the things in my life that REVERSED my Cancer, the severe panic attacks and anxiety went away simultaneously.
If you are interested in learning how to REVERSE your problem, and be free of the problem permanently, the materials to begin with are listed on my website.
After you have read my entire website thoroughly, including all the links at the bottom of the home page, especially my article on how the body is designed to heal itself (including from mental problems), then return to my home page and scroll down until you see the Box that says, "What Do I Need to Get Started on This Health Plan?" Click there, then scroll down until you see the words, "For Diseases Other than Cancer." The only change I would make for you in that group of items is that in place of the DVD "Diseases Don't Just Happen" you should get the DVD "Turn on the Light."
But all the other items in that list are important for you to Get Well.
You can be totally well and FREE from this problem, as I am. But it doesn’t happen over night, although it does happen quite rapidly once you understand what to do.
46. Q. Can we get enough Calories on a Vegan Diet? I have a couple of questions. First, my husband is concerned that if he eats a vegan diet he will not get enough calories. He is a security guard and walks eight to twelve miles a night. We understand the difference between empty and nutritious calories, but I am basically ignorant as to what role the number of calories play and where to get them. He recently had the flu and lost a lot of weight and he wants to bulk up a bit, but I am concerned that he does it in a healthy way.
A. Is your husband bigger than an elephant? You might remind him that elephants, horses, and camels, and other beasts of burden, ALL eat a vegan diet - and THEY get plenty of calories. Also, these vegan animals have more endurance and strength than any of the meat-eating animals. In my Workbook, "Getting Started on Getting Well," I give a whole list of famous athletes who are vegan vegetarians.
My husband is over 6' 1" and weighs 192 lb. and is very strong. He eats totally vegan as I do. My two sons, ages 30 and 35, are also both over 6 feet tall, and also are very strong, and they are both vegan vegetarians.
You say your husband walks eight to twelve miles per night. Horses can continuously walk triple to quadruple that distance, and not be tired. And they are ALL vegan vegetarians.
You mentioned that your husband recently had the flu and because he lost weight, he wants to “bulk up.” "Bulking up" does NOT make one healthy. He should be more concerned about building up his immune system by changing his lifestyle and changing his diet to a vegan diet, both of which will dramatically decrease his chances of getting the flu.
One other point on this issue that few people realize. There are many people who think they have the “flu” when what they really have is food poisoning - from contaminated meat, fish, poultry, shellfish, dairy products, fast food, or processed food. They think they “caught” the “flu” from someone, but it was really from the “garbage” they are eating.
45. Q. Constipation: I looked and didn’t see this addressed…for years I have had chronic constipation. My mother was addicted to laxatives and I’ve been trying not to be like her. I have been under my doctor’s advice for this and he told me I needed more fiber. I took Metamucil for years, drank plenty of water, exercised (and continue to do so), tried to eat well with vegetables and fruits, still I have the problem. I have also done some colon cleansers. I use enemas a lot just to stay on track.
I have also had one colonoscopy and it was clear.
I would so long to go every day. I’d even settle for every other day. I read that I really need to go every day. One thing is sure, when I go I feel so great and have such energy and a new outlook even.
Otherwise, I am basically healthy. I do suffer with sinus infections and menopause. I notice I have bloating and a full-feeling since being in menopause, so I take a probiotic acidophilus. I’ve been this way most all my life. Can you suggest anything else?
I notice a lot of women I talk to have this problem.
A. I have a section on Constipation in my Workbook, "Getting Started on Getting Well." But the workbook is designed to help one implement the Health Plan that is on my DVDs. It cannot be used alone.
If you truly follow the information (with 100% commitment) on my DVD 'You Can't Improve on God" and in my Workbook, "Getting Started on Getting Well" - you will get rid of your constipation problem forever. No one needs probiotic acidophilus, or fiber pills or capsules, or anything else that is man-made.
You are correct to be concerned about Constipation because it is a major CAUSE of virtually ALL diseases, including Cancer. When one cannot eliminate his waste rapidly, then the intestinal contents putrefy and the disease-causing toxins are re-absorbed into the body. This is deadly.
Ideally, one should have a bowel movement after every meal, just as normal babies do. I explain this in my Workbook.
There is NO "Quick Fix" for constipation, bloating, sinus infections or the problems women have with menopause. But they are ALL REVERSED by getting the body healthy again. There are a number of factors involved in each problem, and they are ALL addressed by getting the body healthy again.
When you learn to get your body functioning properly by following the Ten Step Health Plan, you will have no problems with constipation.
I show how to do that on my DVDs, CDs, and in my books.
Please see my website at www.drday.com and read the entire website thoroughly, including all the links down at the bottom of my home page.
44. Q. What is in Processed Foods? Where would I find a list of what they are putting in processed foods? I am single and I do not use a microwave at all but I do buy frozen dinners.
A. With all due respect, I would like to suggest that you are asking the wrong question. A better question is: How do I learn how to be healthy?
On my DVD "You Can't Improve on God" I talk a lot about processed foods. Anything that is in a can or a box, or any frozen dinner is bad for you - period! On that video/DVD, I go into great detail about the adulteration of the food, and what we should eat to be healthy.
However, the proper nutrition is ONLY ONE step in the Ten Step Plan to be healthy. It is just as important to put the right things into your head (how you look at life), into your mind (whether you believe in "Science" - doctors - or in God), in front of your eyes (what you watch on TV and what you read), and in your ears (what you listen to), as what you put in your mouth, if one really wants to be totally well.
Please see my website at www.drday.com and read everything there, including all the links at the bottom of the home page.
43. Q. Breast Cancer and Vitamin B 17 Laetrile. Last Feb 2007, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Inflammatory right breast Carcinoma. I just finished the 6th cycle of Chemo.
In March 2008, I had a CT scan. I was told that the tumor is gone. I had Bone Scan and No tumor was found in my bones.
March 31, 2008 I am scheduled to have a mastectomy.
If I refused mastectomy to save my breast and take Vitamin B17 added to your recommended regimen, is this advisable?
A. Please think this through before you do anything rash.
Your breast cancer was NOT caused by having too many breasts. Cutting one off will NOT cure the problem.
Breast cancer, and ALL other types of cancer as well as ALL other types of disease, are CAUSED by the way we live and the way we eat. The ONLY way to CURE a disease is to find out WHAT CAUSED it and then STOP doing those things, and START doing the things that will rebuild your immune system.
Your breast cancer didn't just "fall out of the sky" nor did it "just happen." You GAVE yourself breast cancer, just as I GAVE myself breast cancer. We didn't do it on purpose, we just didn't realize what we were doing that was causing it.
If you have your breast cut off, and you still continue living and eating the way you have done all along - which CAUSED your breast cancer in the first place - then you will be likely to develop breast cancer in the other breast, or develop cancer somewhere else in your body. So cutting off parts of your body is NOT the answer.
The answer is to LEARN what you have been doing that has CAUSED the breast cancer and to STOP doing it. THEN you will not have to have your breast removed (which, as I said, will NOT really solve the problem anyway.)
But you need to find out the factors that CAUSE cancer. And THAT is the information on my DVDs, CDs and in my books. Your doctor does NOT know this information. Neither did I - because none of us are taught this in our medical training. We are ONLY taught how to give out DRUGS and how to CUT OUT organs, or CUT OFF body parts - NEITHER of which actually solves ANY problem.
Please go to my website at www.drday.com and read everything there, including all the links at the bottom of my home page, especially my article on how the body is designed to heal itself.
You have already had a lot of damage done to your immune system by the chemotherapy given to you by the doctors, which is nothing more than POISON. Your immune system is the ONLY system in your body that can get you well and keep you well, but chemotherapy drastically suppresses your immune system. You now need to learn how to rebuild your immune system, because that is the ONLY way you can actually be well.
So, before you do something drastic that is irreversible, like having your breast cut off, you need to learn how to get well Naturally without drugs and without cutting off your body parts.
I discuss Laetrile (Vitamin B 17) on my DVD "Sorting Through the Maze of Alternative Medicine: What Works, What Doesn't and Why.” There are no "Quick Fixes" in getting well. You must CHANGE everything about your life in order to get well. Laetrile is not bad, it just won't get you well. In order to Get Well, you must STOP doing the things that CAUSED your cancer, and START living and eating the way that will REVERSE it.
You say the doctors say that the "tumor is gone." Yet you are still LIVING and eating the same way you always have, which is what CAUSED your cancer to develop in the first place. So it will be back again - either in the same breast or in the other breast, or some place else in your body, UNLESS you CHANGE those things.
The Health Plan that I used to get well shows you how to change everything about the way you live, from what goes into your mind (how you think), your "heart" (your attitude toward other people, how you handle your stress, etc) your eyes (what you see on TV, movies, etc., and read in books, magazines, and newspapers), and ears (what you listen to), as well as what goes into your mouth.
You CAN be totally well, and never have to worry about cancer again. But the ONLY way to do it is the way I have discussed above and in my materials.
I am totally well and Cancer-free and my tumor first appeared SIXTEEN years ago. I can do everything I did when I was 25, and I'm just as healthy. I just turned 71 - and I NEVER have to worry about my cancer (or any other disease) coming back.
42. Q. Avascular Necrosis (AVN). I was recently diagnosed with Avascular Necrosis (Osteonecrosis) and will have to have Hip-Replacement surgery within the next 3 years. I would like to avoid surgery if you know of another way of getting blood to my dying hip joint.
A. Avascular Necrosis is a condition in which the head of the femur (the ball portion of the hip joint) gets soft and crumbles, eventually resulting in a deformed, very painful hip joint. There are many causes for Avascular Necrosis (AVN), all of which result in the disruption of the blood supply to the head (the ball part) of the femur (the hip joint), including a hip fracture that occurs right at the neck of the femur (right below the head of the femur) injuring the blood supply to the femoral head. AVN can also be caused by taking steroids, such as cortisone (Prednisone) and other prescription drugs for disease conditions, or by other types of steroids taken by athletes to give them bulky muscles, or by alcoholism, or by certain types of diseases all of which are the RESULT of the way we live and eat.
If your AVN is early and was not caused by a hip fracture, maybe you can slow its progress by CHANGING the way you live and eat.
But once it occurs to a significant degree, the head of the femur is destroyed and it cannot be restored by changing the way one lives and eats. The only way to treat it then is with a Hip Replacement.
However, even if one must have a hip replacement, a person should be anxious to change the way he or she is living and eating because most of the SAME factors that usually cause AVN also contribute to the development of other diseases, even though the symptoms may not be apparent - - - - YET! But sooner or later they will become apparent.
And it’s a whole lot easier to prevent disease than to reverse it!

41. Q. Isn’t there something NEW in the Health Plan? You made the video/DVD “You Can’t Improve on God” in 1997. That’s over ten years ago. Does this Health Plan still work? Aren’t there new scientific advances in health that we should know about that should be added to the Health Plan?
A. The Health Plan I used to get well is actually about 6,000 years old. When God created the earth and everything in it, He gave us everything we need to stay well and to get well if we get sick. Natural things have been around since creation since God first made them.
God is no respecter of persons. He loves everyone the same. That is why He made this Natural Health Plan available to every generation since creation, and to every country on the face of the earth, and to every individual, rich or poor, educated or uneducated. If it wasn’t around 6,000 years ago, then it’s NOT part of God’s Health Plan.
And remember, God is the author of ALL “science.” So if “science” doesn’t agree with the Bible and God’s way, then “science” is wrong! That’s why “man’s” view of science is constantly changing, as I point out on my DVD “Double Blind: What Science Can’t See.” But God’s scientific ways His Natural Ways always remain the same.
God’s Natural Way NEVER changes. The information on my DVD/video “You Can’t Improve on God” is just as true and just as current now, as it was in 1997 and just as current now, as it was 6,000 years ago.
40. Q. Doesn't EVERYBODY Die from Disease - of Some Kind?
A. This world is run by laws laws of chemistry, laws of physics, laws of astronomy, etc. These laws have an impact on us whether we know about them or not. If we are ignorant of these laws, or if we know about them but attempt to defy them, they are still controlling us whether we like it or not.
Take, for example, the Law of Gravity. The law of gravity works on everyone on earth. A baby, when he first gets up to walk, learns about the law of gravity because when he falls, he falls DOWN and not UP! And he may even hurt himself when he falls.
The baby may not know the name of the law of gravity, but he understands the law of gravity nonetheless, at least in its most primitive form.
If an adult chooses to defy the law of gravity by jumping from a high building, he still is going down, and he may seriously injure, or even kill, himself. It is clear that the law of gravity is working on everyone whether we like it or not.
One must learn to live within this law and the other natural, scientific laws that govern our world - or we may reap serious consequences, even death, as a result of our disobedience to these natural laws.
Ten Natural Health Laws
It is the SAME with our health. Our health is governed by Ten Natural Health Laws whether we know about them or not, or whether we like them or not. These laws are immutable. No one is exempt from them. If we are ignorant of these Health laws, or if we deliberately defy these health laws, we have an overwhelming likelihood of developing a serious, life-threatening disease and dying a long, slow, extremely painful death.
However, if we understand these Ten Natural Health Laws and learn to live within them, the chances are great that we will live a long, healthy, pain-free, enjoyable, full, active life without disease. And when we are very old, we will just wear out, and die by going to sleep without disease and without pain.
These Ten Natural Health Laws are given on all of my DVDs/videos, but are explained in detail on my DVD/video entitled “You Can't Improve Upon God.”
The ONLY way to become healthy and to remain healthy is to follow these Ten Natural Laws of Health. Any other way to attempt to regain - or retain - one’s health is nothing but a transient “Quick Fix” a treatment of symptoms rather than addressing the root cause of the problem. This may make you feel better temporarily but the disease will continue to get worse while you are deluding yourself.
In order to be REALLY WELL, one must address the root cause of the problem. And that is ONLY done by following the Ten Natural Laws of Health.39. Q. Your Body is Designed to Heal Itself. Why Not Help it - Rather Than Hinder it?
A. Your body is designed to heal itself.
If you cut your hand it will heal automatically, unless you deliberately put dirt in it, or you keep picking it open, or if your immune system is severely suppressed by the way you have been eating and living resulting in some very serious illness that causes delayed healing.
If you smash your thumb with a hammer, it will eventually heal, unless you keep smashing the same thumb with a hammer - EVERY DAY!
The point is that your body WILL heal itself UNLESS you keep injuring it.
But most people don’t realize that they are “injuring” their body every day by the way they are living and eating. When we eat wrong and live wrong, these small daily “injuries” will result in a disease of one type or another. Unfortunately, doctors ONLY learn how to treat the symptoms of disease rather than addressing the root cause of the disease itself. Why? Because they are never taught the causes of diseases.
Doctors give DRUGS ALL of which have side effects and ALL of which harm the body! And DRUGS only cover up the symptoms.
The ONLY way to really get well and remain well, is to STOP doing the things that cause disease and START doing the things that rebuild the immune system, the ONLY system in your body that can GET you well and KEEP you well!
In my DVDs/videos, CDs/audiotapes and my Workbook, “Getting Started on Getting Well,” I reveal the causes of disease. These causes of disease are ALL in the medical literature, but doctors don’t know about them because we are never taught about them in our medical training. Why?
Because Medicine is BIG BUSINESS a multi-billion dollar business. But getting well by Natural Methods is NOT expensive - and does NOT require a doctor. It can be done at home WITHOUT drugs! And it REALLY does get you WELL by addressing the root cause of the disease rather than covering up the symptoms.
Drugs allow you to feel better, at least temporarily, but your disease is actually getting worse! Drugs don’t heal your disease!
The prospect of getting well inexpensively by Natural Methods does not sit well with the Medical and Pharmaceutical Industries. Their goal, instead, is for you to feel helpless and hopeless when you are sick, so you will have to rely on expensive doctors and costly, harmful drugs!
But you don’t have to GET sick or REMAIN sick! Diseases ARE curable once you STOP doing the things that CAUSE them. YOU can take charge of your health as I did and GET WELL!38. Q. What Happened to Barleygreen? Has the company that makes Barleygreen been taken over?
A. Yes. Recently, YH International, the company that markets Barleygreen, was bought by the Japanese company JPD (Japan Pharmaceutical Development). More accurately, YH International and its immediate "Parent" Company, Green Foods, Inc. were both awarded to JPD in a long court battle over ownership. I don’t know any of the particulars of the court case, and its not my business to know.
Will Barleygreen still be available?
In my opinion, No. JPD is discontinuing YH International, the network marketing arm of Green Foods, and will apparently also soon discontinue the production and sale of Barleygreen and its related products. This is my strong impression from a recent phone conversation I had with the executives of Green Foods, Inc. and Nikken, Inc. JPD has given the distribution rights for all its newly-acquired products, including Barleygreen, to a network marketing company called Nikken, Inc.
Barleygreen will be continued for a relatively short time I believe, then it will be replaced by a Barley powder product called Jade GreenZymes, which is already distributed by Nikken. Nikken claims that Jade GreenZymes is the same Barley powder that is in Barleygreen, but it is produced with their special "Pi water," a water they say is vastly superior to regular water because it is "energized" by adding an iron compound to it and apparently also "magnetizing" it? - or something like that a method for which there is very little, if any, hard science that can be investigated, documented or reproduced. The supposed "improved" changes are made by adding the iron compound in "miniscule quantities" that become (conveniently) “undetectable?” so the water molecule is "changed" and "energized" and develops some sort of "memory," according to the information available.
This is similar to the way homeopathy claims to work, a system that I do NOT endorse.
Does this "Pi system" really produce "improved, energized" water?
In my opinion, and in the opinion of many other scientists, the answer is NO. Frankly, it sounds like a lot of New Age, Eastern "medicine" mumbo-jumbo, hocus-pocus to me. For more information, see the following websites and decide for yourself.
http://www.aquatechnology.net/PIwater.html http://www.chem1.com/CQ/piwaterbunk.html
http://www.chem1.com/CQ/clusqk.html
What is known about the Nikken Company?
Nikken endorses New Age Products and the New Age philosophy as openly revealed on their home page which shows a picture of a person meditating in the yoga position. Meditation IS “New Age” and the opposite of Christian Prayer. “New Age” meditation “communicates” with the “god within” ourselves, a totally pagan philosophy, whereas Prayer is communicating with the true God of heaven the God of the Bible. (For more information about the dangers of New Age, read the book Deceived by the New Age, by Will Baron, Pacific Press Publishing Co. Boise, Idaho)
In addition to its "Pi-water" Nikken sells magnetized beds and magnetized shoe insoles, with numerous testimonials about how much better people feel when using these devices. To understand the potential consequences of these products, please keep reading.
Are there electrical and magnetic fields normally present in the body?
The body naturally produces an electrical/magnetic field, because the body is actually "electric" - since there is a charge on the surface of every cell. It is this charge that, among other things, facilitates the flow of ions (the electrolytes - sodium, potassium, chloride, etc.) across the cell membrane. The normal heartbeat is produced electrically and spontaneously in the body from a specialized "node" in the heart. The charge on a bone in a human being is normally neutral until that bone is broken. Immediately, the electrical field around the broken bone, produced BY the body itself, becomes negative - until the bone heals. Then the bone becomes electrically neutral again.
These delicate and minutely precise electrical/magnetic fields are perfectly generated by a healthy body in the EXACT, SPECIFIC TINY amounts determined by God, our Creator, in His magnificent design of the human body.
Dr. Robert O. Becker, Retired Professor of Medicine at Upstate Medical Center, and Director of Orthopedic Surgery at the Veteran’s Hospital, both institutions in Syracuse, New York, was one of the first to investigate the electrical/magnetic fields in the body. In the mid-1970's, I, personally, was a Research Investigator in one of the first major, multi-institutional medical center studies on these types of effects on the body, specifically on the effects of Electrical Stimulation in Bone Healing. The Lead Investigator in these studies was Carl Brighton, M.D., Ph.D., a close friend of mine, who was Professor and Chairman of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania. The results of this study were published in America’s premier Orthopedic Surgery journal, the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. (See Brighton, C. T.; Black, J.; Friedenberg, Z. B.; Esterhai, J. L.; Day, L. J.; Cormoily, J. F. A multicenter study of the treatment of non-union fractures with constant direct current. Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. 63A:2-12; 1981)
In addition, for a number of years, I was a member of the Bioelectrical Repair and Growth Society, an organization composed of M.D.s and Ph.D.s involved in the study of electrical stimulation of healing and regeneration, particularly in bone, and I learned a great deal about the effects of manipulation of the electrical and the magnetic fields of the body.
Is it dangerous to manipulate the electrical and magnetic fields normally present in our body?
Our body is designed by God to heal itself, without the application of electricity, magnets, drugs or any other chemicals or devices that can all cause harm to the body. When the body is healthy, it will generate EXACTLY the right electrical/magnetic fields that God has designed.
When the body is NOT healthy, rather than introduce “Man’s” idea of what the electrical/magnetic fields “should be,” we must focus on getting the body well, so the body then can do its OWN job of generating the proper, delicate, precise electrical/magnetic fields itself, as God has designed it to do. We must focus on the root cause of the problem getting the body well INSTEAD of “treating” symptoms. “Treating” symptoms is the same folly of orthodox medicine. The only difference is that the orthodox doctors “treat” the symptoms with DRUGS rather than by the manipulation of the electrical/magnetic fields of the body!
But this is NOT God’s way, and “Man” CANNOT Improve on God’s way! And anything that is NOT God’s way can potentially cause harm to the body He has designed.
The human body is very complex, but the maintenance of it is very simple. All one needs to do to PREVENT disease, or to REVERSE disease when it occurs, is to follow the Ten Natural Steps of God's Health Plan. These Ten Steps are completely SAFE and have NO detrimental side effects. They use ONLY the things that God has created in their natural form the way God created them.
When arrogant "man" starts tinkering with the brilliant and complex intricate mechanisms that God has designed and created in our body, we are in dangerous territory. It only causes trouble. We may have temporary ("Quick-fix") relief of our symptoms, but those methods will NEVER solve the underlying cause of ANY disease.
DRUGS - including street drugs and doctor-prescribed drugs, ALSO give immediate relief of symptoms. But they NEVER can solve the underlying disease problem and they NEVER can REVERSE the disease. And they ALL have harmful side-effects, most of which may not be immediately apparent, but over time they continue to work to destroy the body.
The natural, normal electrical and magnetic fields of the body were created by God, Himself, in His infinite wisdom. But scientists believe that THEY ("man") can "improve" on what God has created. "Man" has decided to CHANGE the electrical and/or magnetic fields in the body to make people "feel better" quickly - a "Quick Fix." But, "You CAN'T Improve on God!" The ONLY way to truly Get Well, is the slow way which is to STOP doing the things that are making you sick and START doing the natural things that will make you well. This requires a major CHANGE in one’s lifestyle and a major CHANGE in one’s diet.
But since many people don’t want to change they want to keep on living and eating the way they always have they are looking for something FAST a “Quick Fix.”
This manipulation of the body’s electrical/magnetic fields is clearly potentially dangerous, just as DRUGS (both street drugs and doctor-prescribed drugs) are ALL dangerous - and just as manipulation of the hormonal balance of the body (by estrogens in women and testosterone in men - and supposedly "anti-aging" hormones in both men and women) is extremely dangerous.
Drugs often make a person FEEL better temporarily, because they relieve symptoms, NOT the underlying CAUSE of the disease. But ALL of these drugs have side effects, and many of them actually CAUSE other serious diseases, including Cancer! Hormones, both male and female, and anti-aging hormones (even in tiny amounts) have ALSO been shown to CAUSE CANCER and/or INCREASE the GROWTH of a CANCER that may already be present!
It has been shown that manipulating the electrical and magnetic fields of the body can also CAUSE Cancer and other serious diseases and disorders. There are studies showing that those living near high tension power lines (altering the electrical field of the body) have a higher incidence of mental disturbances, suicide, and leukemia, especially in children as reported by Robert O. Becker, M.D., in his book, Cross Currents. The use of an electric blanket by pregnant women has been shown to increase significantly the incidence of miscarriage, as documented in studies published by Dr. Nancy Wertheimer of the University of Colorado.
Robert O. Becker, M.D., in his books, The Body Electric and Cross Currents, reveals a very real association of electrical and magnetic fields with the growth of Cancer. The U.S. military has now developed weapons, using electromagnetic fields, to paralyze, maim, mind control, and kill our enemies.
Because the research on, and control of, the production of these electrical and magnetic fields are under the control of the U.S. government and powerful Big Business, most of the research is biased in favor of the military/industrial complex, telling the public that these artificially-produced electromagnetic fields are not dangerous. Even the Rothschilds, the most powerful family in the world (and possibly also the most diabolic), are involved with the promotion of magnets and magnetic therapy. So research that reveals their dangerous hazards can easily be suppressed.
But Dr. Becker, and other brave researchers who have exposed the detrimental effects of these electromagnetic fields on individuals, AND on the general population, have paid a dear price for doing so. They have been victims of harassment by the Government, Media, and Big Business, and have received vicious attacks on their research and reputation.
Will you endorse Nikken and their products?
No. Because Nikken endorses the New Age “Eastern Medicine” philosophy and New Age products, which are the opposite of God's Way to Natural Health, and because many of the products they promote are either useless or potentially dangerous, in my opinion. I cannot, in good conscience, endorse ANYTHING they sell, nor do I want to be associated with Nikken in ANY way. New Age "medicine" is NOT of God. It claims to address Mind, Body and Spirit, by "looking within" oneself.
But there is NO power "within us" to do the right thing. The ONLY place we can find the power to do the right thing is from “outside” of us - from Jesus Christ. Because New Age does NOT acknowledge Jesus, except to say that He is just another New Age "Avatar," a divine being among MANY "divine" beings, then that philosophy is antagonistic to Jesus Christ. It denies that Jesus Christ is the One and ONLY true God. And Jesus said, “He that is not with Me, is AGAINST Me.” Matthew 12:30
But isn’t New Age “Eastern” Medicine (addressing Mind, Body, and Spirit) better than the Western Medicine that promotes Drugs and Surgery?
The foundation, philosophy, and “treatments” of both Eastern and Western Medicine are WRONG, because none of those methods address the underlying CAUSE of the disease. BOTH Eastern and Western “systems” of medicine ONLY treat symptoms. Both types of “treatments” entice the sick person into finding a “Quick Fix” rather than addressing the REAL causes of the disease. And neither method of “treatment” is connected to God who is our Creator, and the One who promises to “heal ALL” our diseases (Psalm 103:3), but ONLY if we follow God’s way (Deuteronomy 7:11-15) and NOT “man’s” ways.
Will you still have Barleygreen available on your website at www.drday.com?
As of December 1, 2007, I will no longer have Barleygreen available on my website, because in order to do so I would have to become a member of the Nikken organization, something I will NOT do. For a time, the original Barleygreen may be available from some websites (other than mine) on the Internet. After that, you may, for a time, be able to find the original Barleygreen under the brand name Green Magma, the name under which Barleygreen is sold in health food stores, or possibly on the Internet.
But, within 6 months, or maybe less, both Barleygreen and Green Magma will probably disappear from the marketplace. In its place, Nikken will most likely exclusively promote their present product, Jade GreenZymes, the Barley product made with the “manipulated water,” something I CANNOT endorse. If Green Magma persists longer than that period of time, be careful, because Nikken may have incorporated the "manipulated water" into that product, as well.
It is a sad day to see the original Barleygreen "put to death" by a New Age company, Nikken, a company that does not understand TRUE HEALING at all. Nikken's New Age products treat SYMPTOMS, rather than the underlying CAUSE of the disease. Orthodox Medicine ALSO treats SYMPTOMS, rather than addressing the underlying CAUSE of the disease. Neither New Age nor Orthodox Medicine can successfully treat the REAL CAUSES of diseases.
Can those who still sell Barleygreen on their websites or any other way, continue to use your name, image, likeness or endorsement on Barleygreen products?
No. Please see my letter to Green Foods, Inc. about this matter. It is now illegal for anyone to continue to use my name (Dr. Lorraine Day or Lorraine Day, M.D.), or my image, likeness or endorsement of Barleygreen or related products.
Do you Endorse any Other type of Barley Powder?
No, I do NOT endorse - OR use - ANY other type of Barley Powder. I am well aware of ALL the products available and I do NOT endorse any of them, for very good reasons.
What CAUSES Disease?
NO disease is caused by a “lack” of drug-taking. For example, headaches are NOT caused by a deficiency of Aspirin! (See my DVD “Diseases DON’T Just Happen!” at www.drday.com) And NO disease is caused by a “lack” of the proper electrical or magnetic field on, or in, the body. Therefore, NEITHER of these “treatments” can REVERSE ANY disease! It is true that there may be abnormal electrical/magnetic fields present in a sick person, but these are the RESULT of their disease - NOT the cause of their disease. When one obeys ALL the Ten Natural Steps of Health on my DVDs, CDs, and in my books, and gets the body well by natural methods, THEN the electrical/magnetic fields of the body will become normal as God created them, - - and the pH of the body will ALSO become normal - - and the hormones will ALSO become balanced. The previous imbalances in these parameters, as just stated, are the RESULT of the disease - NOT the CAUSE of the disease.
We GIVE ourselves diseases, including Cancer, one day at a time, by the way we live and the way we eat. In order to PREVENT and REVERSE those diseases, we must CHANGE the way we are living and eating. In fact, we must CHANGE every aspect of our life in order to GET WELL completely.
Aren’t Temporary "Quick Fixes" of ANY Value?
Both Orthodox Medicine and New Age Medicine (of which Nikken is a part) offer a "Quick Fix" to the individual and the public - "Use our drugs and modalities, and feel better FAST!" - when the ONLY way to truly be well is to STOP living and eating the way that HARMS the body, and START living and eating the way that will progressively rebuild one's immune system, so the wonderful immune system that God has given us will GET US WELL, just as it is designed to do.
Is Barleygreen essential to getting well from Cancer or Other Diseases?
No. Barleygreen is NOT essential to getting well from Cancer or Any other disease. In its original form, it was just another nutritious food, NOT a "magic bullet." When one eats the prescribed vegan diet along with the fresh home-made juicing schedule, both detailed on my DVDs, CDs, and in my books, you will be getting more than adequate nutrition - even WITHOUT the use of Barleygreen.
And REMEMBER, the proper nutrition is ONLY ONE Step in the Ten Step Natural Health Plan. One must follow ALL Ten Steps with 100% commitment in order to get well.
When one follows ALL the steps in God's Natural Ten Step Health Plan, you will be addressing the root cause of your disease in every way, the RIGHT WAY of addressing Mind, Body and Spirit - God's Way - NOT "man's" New Age way!
37. Q. Retired? Have you retired from medicine?
A. Not at all. Somehow the public has only ONE view of a physician that of a man or woman in a white coat, with a stethoscope hanging around his or her neck, talking to a patient in a small examining room.
But that is the “TV view” of a physician.
A very large percentage of physicians never even see a patient when they finish their training. There are radiologists who read x-rays, anatomic pathologists who only do autopsies on dead people or examine dead tissue specimens from the operating room for diagnosis, clinical pathologists who supervise the technicians in clinical laboratories, physicians who choose to spend their time doing medical research in a laboratory, physicians who specialize in Public Health, physicians who become administrators, including hospital administrators, or deans or chancellors of medical schools, or administrators in government positions, such as the Centers for Disease Control, the National Institutes of Health, or even the Surgeon General of the United States.
These physicians rarely, if ever, actually see a patient in a private office setting. Yet no one would suggest that these doctors are not practicing physicians. As you can see, there are many, many different ways to practice medicine.
I was trained as an Orthopedic Surgeon, and specialized in Trauma Orthopedic Surgery, which includes operating on the most severe injuries that can occur, including victims of gun shot wounds, gang wars, beatings, or other major violence, victims of unsuccessful suicide attempts jumps from buildings or jumps from high bridges, victims of motor vehicle accidents, whether pedestrians or passengers inside a car that crashes, victims of domestic violence, falls that cause a fractured hip, broken ankles, broken legs, broken arms, spine injuries, ski accidents, massive pelvic injuries from being run over by a car, amputations caused by crushing injuries, etc.
When you are injured, you need a surgeon to put you back together again. I have no problem with that. And I am still licensed as a physician and as a specialist in Orthopedic Surgery, so I could go back to that at any time.
But DISEASES are caused by the way we think, act, live and eat. So the way to REVERSE them is to CHANGE the way we think, act, live and eat. But we must make those changes ourselves. A doctor cannot do that for us. The only thing we need is to learn WHAT changes we must make, and WHY. And THAT is the information that is on my DVDs, CDs, and in my books.
When I developed severe cancer that almost took my life, I learned things I never knew before, and things I was never taught in my medical training. I learned how to GET WELL from Cancer and other serious life-threatening diseases by Natural Methods. Fortunately, I already knew that Drugs NEVER Cure Disease they only make things worse in the long run. And taking out one’s organs doesn’t make any sense at all. We don’t have ANY spare parts in our body that we don’t need. ALL our organs are necessary for our health or God would not have put them there.
There are many fine Orthopedic Surgeons in this country, including many that I personally had a hand in training when I was an Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine, and when I was an attending surgeon, and eventually Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at San Francisco General Hospital. And those Orthopedic Surgeons can take care of patients’ injuries and orthopedic problems very well.
But there are few, if ANY, physicians who really KNOW how to get patients WELL from Cancer and other serious, life-threatening diseases by Natural Methods. And fewer yet who have actually “walked the walk” as I have done actually “practicing what I am preaching.”
I have been to death’s door and back - with severe, advanced, Cancer, and now I am totally well and cancer-free and today, and it has been sixteen years since my tumor first appeared. My mission is to share my information with anyone who wants to know how to get well.
So I am still practicing medicine just as much as any of these other physicians I have mentioned above, but I am doing it in a different way from what I did before. Instead of spending long hours in the operating room putting severely injured patients back together, I have changed my focus. I now share with people how I REVERSED my Cancer and the symptoms of my other serious diseases, by major changes in my “heart,” mind, behavior, lifestyle and diet.
I believe this is practicing Public Health in its highest form. I consider myself a physician-educator. Instead of taking care of patients one-on-one, or educating medical students and resident physicians to take care of patients as I did for the major part of my career, I am now sharing directly with the people the way to take care of their health which is the ONLY real way to be well anyway.
The only one who can really REVERSE his or her disease is the one who HAS it, because it requires the patient himself or herself to CHANGE the way he or she is thinking, living, and eating.
My previous medical life as an Orthopedic Trauma Surgeon was certainly exciting and rewarding, but no more rewarding than sharing with people what I have learned about getting well from virtually any disease. And when they learn how to get well by Natural Methods and really change their life, they will never have to worry about being sick again.
36. Q. Hepatitis C, B, A, herpes, shingles, HIV/AIDS, Lyme Disease and Candida. Can you advise as to eradicating the Hepatitis C virus as I have a daughter with it and would like to help her to get well.
A. I discuss this on page 203 of my Workbook, “Getting Started on Getting Well,” that is designed to help one implement the Health Plan on my DVDs/videos and in my other materials. (The Workbook cannot be used without the DVDs/videos.)
Hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes, shingles (herpes zoster), HIV/AIDS (viral disease), Lyme disease (a bacterial disease) and Candida (a fungal disease) are ALL reversible. They cannot occur or persist in a person whose immune system is functioning properly. When the immune system is rebuilt by following the Ten Steps of God's Natural Health Plan which is the Health Plan on my DVDs, CDs, and in my books, then the immune system can overcome and REVERSE these diseases that the medical establishment claims are incurable.
Please see my website at www.drday.com and read everything there, including all the links at the bottom of my home page, especially my article on how the body is designed to heal itself.
35. Q. Trusting in Science and the Scientists. I came across your website and found some troubling information. You seem like a very decent human being, so I am bringing these things to your attention because I know that you would want them explained or fixed.
1. Under the "When is Jesus Coming?" page, I noticed you wrote that Jesus will come when the earth is 6,000 years old. But astrophysicists, geologists, astronomers, and other scientists have calculated the earth is already 4.55 billion years old. Why is the scientific consensus so off the mark?
2. What are the names of the computer programs and scientists you cite for computing the age of the earth?
A. I am also a scientist in addition to being a physician.
I was 3 months short of finishing my Ph.D. at the University of California, San Francisco (which I took while I was an Associate Professor at the Medical School), before moving to Southern California. As both a physician and a research scientist, I know very well how Science is constantly changing!What was considered "absolute" one year - was totally outdated the next - in both the medical and research journals. All physicians are required to complete a certain number of Continuing Education units every year in order to remain licensed. But the medical journal articles are only "good" for credit for one year after they are published - because - what is "true" this year - is no longer true next year.
All one has to do is look at the subject of the treatment of breast cancer over the last 40 years. It is almost unbelievable the flip-flops that the so-called "experts" in Orthodox Medicine have performed over that period of time. Millions of women have been terribly maimed and left with immensely swollen arms that are entirely useless - as well as being horribly
