The article was written by Morton Walker and it dealt with the cancer and AIDS fighter Carnivora. ^^^^^^^^^ The letter to the editor says: "I want to thank you for saving our six year old poodle, Max, who developed a very aggressive tumor in his mouth this past November. I happened to read Morton Walker's article on the cancer and AIDS fighter, Carnivora just when it appeared that there was no hope. "After removing the visible tumor and finding that it was cancerous to the edges, our local vet referred us to a veterinary oncologist who told us that the only way to buy time would be to remove on third of Max's upper jaw, where the cancer had penetrated, and then use radiation or chemotherapy. But the prognosis was that even with that expensive and painful treatment, our dog would die within a year. Two weeks after the first operation, a tumor as large as the original one had appeared. "We had heard about Carnivora from a local vet, but he said it could not be obtained in the U.S. It was then that I happened to read the article in your magazine. We sent an urgent fax to Dr. Keller, who developed the medicine, and hesent us a bottle with instructions for our vet. "Two weeks after we started giving Max injections of Carnivora, the tumor had practically disappeared. We now have what appears to be a normal, health dog who continues to receive the Carnivora injections on a maintenance dose. "The local vets are simply amazed. And the cost of the Carnivora comes nowhere near the cost of the surgery, chemotherapy/radiation therapy proposed by the oncologist. This is truly a miracle cure. "Thank you for publishing such valuable information."

Subject: Carnivora Cancer cure Article Due to the high interest and inability to directly post to some people here comes the whole article to the list: The following is from the Sept./Oct. 92 issue of Natural Health: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Venus' Flytrap Cancer and Fighter of the Future? A German doctor achieves promising results with this carnivorous plant. Following the removal of malignant polyps from his colon, President Ronald Reagan sent to Nordhalben, Germany, for an herbal extract to take as a preventive against the cancer's spread. Thereafter, he drank 30 drops of this extract, Carnivora, in a glass of purified water or herb tea four times a day. According to records kept by the extract's German manufacturer, the former U.S. president still buys these drops today. Carnivora is derived from the plant Venus' flytrap (Dionaea muscipula). This is a standardized solution used in the treatment of chronic diseases, including most forms of cancer, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, all types of herpes infections, chronic arthritis, and almost any immune deficiency state, including AIDS. In cases of cancer, Carnivora works therapeutically to shrink solid tumors, according to its proponents, but does not help with blood abnormalities such as leukemia. Also, it works best if the patient has not previously undergone chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Carnivora's proponents also claim that in other clinical applications, it has been effective in boosting immune function and eliminating the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from the blood. Carnivora can be administered as drops for use orally or by inhalation, or it can be given by injection. Laboratory studies indicate that purified Carnivora is safe, and its new drug application is pending approval by the German Food and Drug Administration. It is readily available for application to patients by physicians in Germany and other European countries. Carnivora remains unapproved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), however, and cannot be imported or used legally except by people suffering from life-threatening illnesses such as cancer and AIDS. The discoverer of Carnivora is a researcher and oncologist, Helmut Keller, M.D., who first studied the Venus' flytrap at Boston University in 1980. He moved to Germany a year later to find more freedom for his Carnivora research. I visited Dr. Keller at his clinic in Bad Steben, Germany, in June 1991, and I was given access to his files. I have also interviewed about 50 of his patients. One was 65-year-old Betty Williams of Ames, Iowa. Diagnosed with inflammatory breast disease, the most lethal form of breast cancer, she sought treatment from Dr. Keller. Mrs. Williams's case study reveals that the skin of her right breast was at first red, swollen, warm, indurated, and painful. All of the symptoms resembled an infection, but diagnosis by biopsy revealed that it was inflammatory carcinoma. Death was likely to occur in a Page 2 matter of weeks, and the doctors had no hope for her survival. By the time three American oncologists separately confirmed the diagnosis and prognosis, her breast was turning black. "The oncologists told me there really was no hope of saving my life," Williams explained. "They said that they would try chemotherapy; if I was still alive, they would then give me radiation; if I remained alive, they would finally send me for surgery. I asked, 'What will all this do for me?' And they answered, 'Just buy you a little time.' Immediately, therefore, my husband bought us airline tickets for Bad Steben, and we left for me to have Carnivora treatment. "I received one three-hour intravenous injection a day, Monday to Friday. I had no side effects except to feel better. Gradually I gained a sense of well-being. The appearance of my breasts came back to normal. The blackness and inflammation totally disappeared," Williams said. Mr. and Mrs. Williams remained with Dr. Keller for three months. "At home, now, I take Carnivora intramuscular injections five days a week, administered by my husband," Mrs. Williams explained. I speak to Mrs. Williams about once a month. Her cancer is completely gone and, since the time of her deadly diagnosis nearly 2 1/2 years ago, it has not returned. Now, my wife, who has breast cancer, is taking Carnivora regularly as part of her cancer therapy. She has been doing so since our first visit to Bad Steben. In addition to its success in cancer, Carnivora has had a dramatic effect on patients infected with HIV, the virus cited as the cause of AIDS. Dr. Keller learned that various strengths of the Carnivora formulations work for all diseases in which immune stimulation and modulation are required. Besides having the ability to reduce the growth rate of tumor tissue, Carnivora increases the number and activity of the sick person's T-helper cells and other immune system components. I have observed laboratory test readings on HIV-positive patients, recorded by Dr. Keller and some American holistic physicians. The patients' T-helper cell counts rose from as low as 11 per cubic millimeter of blood to well beyond 700, while the T- suppressor cells decreased sharply. This makes the individual's important helper/suppressor ratio almost normal. The most surprising result has been Carnivora's direct effect in reducing the viability of the HIV. Quite simply, an identified biochemical ingredient in Carnivora kills the AIDS virus. Also, the Beta-2 Microglobulin test, which measures the amounts of plasma proteins produced by HIV, decreases. This test for beta-2 levels is judged to be the most accurate of all predictors of HIV progression to AIDS. A decrease in beta-2 levels indicates that the HIV patient is not advancing to full-blown AIDS. Because Carnivora is not approved in the U.S., American doctors are forbidden by law from stocking or prescribing it for patients. Such prescriptions must come from an attending physician outside of the country. Therefore, Helmut Keller, the extract's developer, offers the appropriate protocol to persons with cancer, AIDS, or some other Page 3 degenerative or infectious disease who furnish him with medical records. Also, any patient who suffers from a life-threatening illness has the right to import a three-month supply of Carnivora or other non-FDA-approved remedies for his or her personal use. This being done, there are two methods by which Carnivora may be administered for the American patient. First, the patient or a skilled person like a nurse can give intramuscular or intravenous injections at home. When Carnivora has been used in its most purified form, which is protected under patents in Germany and the U.S. by Dr. Keller, no side effects have been reported. Second, by acting merely as the medical technician and following Dr. Keller's protocol, your own American physician can administer the treatment. Indeed, it is best that you have medical supervision when you add Carnivora to your treatment program against cancer, AIDS, or other pathologies. MORTON WALKER, D.P.M., wrote about cancer treatment with shark cartilage in our May/June issue. He is currently writing a book on the Carnivora treatment to be published by the Avery Publishing Group next year.

She had a physical examination by her family physician in December 1989, a mammogram by an oncologist in January 1990, and an internal checkup by her gynecologist in February 1990. The collective medical opinion rendered was that Mrs. Williams was in great shape - very healthy. She took no medication of any kind - not even aspirin. "On April 11, 1990, while babysitting with a new grandchild in Providence, Rhode Island, I noticed while dressing that my right Page 4 breast was red and swollen. Immediately I went to a Providence gynecologist, and, in turn, he referred me to a surgeon", Mrs.Williams told me during our interviews. "Both specialists said that they did not know what was my problem. They put me on antibiotics, and I left to go home to Iowa the next day. On April 16th I visited my gynecologist who has been caring for me for years. He was uncertain about the condition affecting my breast, and be increased the dosage of antibiotics. He thought I might have an infection. There was no lump - only redness and soreness. It was inflamed but with no pressure pain, and I could wear a brassiere comfortably. As it happens, three years before, I had had an injury during the course of receiving my routine annual mammogram, and this injury required that I undergo a minor operation. So, April 20th, I returned to that same operating surgeon for a new examination and possible diagnosis. His guess was that I had inflammatory carcinoma, and he prescribed another, more potent antibiotic," said Mrs. Williams. We'll wait a little bit,' he said. Well, I waited four days and then consulted the breast cancer specialist who had done my mammogram the previous January. He checked with the doppler ultrasound technique, took another mammogram, and then sent me to the breast surgeon for a biopsy to be done under a general anesthetic. On Monday, April 30, 1990, I learned that I truly did have breast cancer inflammatory carcinoma." Inflammatory carcinoma is atypical of breast cancer, for in this condition the tumor grows with great rapidity; the skin over it is, edematous and becomes red, warm, indurated, and painful. All of-the symptoms resemble an infection. Diagnosis is established by biopsy. Any form of raidical surgery is always contraindicated because the disease tends to recur locally with great speed in the postoperative period. Palliative treatment with radiotherapy (with or without simple mastectomy) followed by hormonal therapy or chemotherapy may be offered but they are of little use. Death is likely to occur in a matter of weeks following the diagnosis. "Upon hearing my diagnosis, I did not panic - at least not entirely! Just two weeks before, my son had attended a lecture in Minneapolis given by Chrystyne Jackson, publisher of the magazine, Raum & Zeit. She told the audience of a German physician, Helmut Keller, M.D., who advocates the use of a very special natural medication for treating cancer," Mrs. Williams explained. "So I telephoned Dr. Keller in Germany the next day and made an appointment to see him right away. That same afternoon, I kept another appointment with a third oncologist. I brougth my records; he examined me. That specialist told me there really is no hope of saving my life. The oncologist said that he would try chemotherapy; if I was still alive, he would then give me radiation; if I remained alive, he would finally send me for surgery. I asked, What will all this do for me?" And be answered, "Just buy you a little time." Immediately, therefore, my husband bought us airline tickets for Bad Steben, West Germany, and we took off on May 3rd. By the time that Dr. Keller examined me on May 4th, my right breast was black and had a lump in it that was larger than my husbands fist," said the patient. "Dr. Keller just groaned when be saw it and added, 'We have a lot of work to do.' "After I had taken treatment in Bad Steben for a week, we began to see a little Page 5 progress," said Mrs. Williams. "My husband took some pictures of my breasts after Dr. Keller had already begun to give me infusions with Carnivora. I received one three-hour intravenous injection a day, Monday to Friday. I had no side effects except to feel better. Gradually I gained a sense of wellbeing. From his baseline tests, he was aware that my immune system was much depressed. For instance, my killer T-cells were down to 3, and he built up that reading to 13. Also my helper/suppressor cells had been out of balance, but they rearranged themselves to a normal level. The appearance of my breasts came back to normal too; the blackness and inflammation totally disappeared." Mr. and Mrs. Williams remained with Dr. Keller for three months, until August 1, 1990. He lodged them in his clinic which has motel- like facilities that look out on rolling forest lands. "It was very beautiful countryside," admits Mrs. Williams. "If it wasn't that I was ill, we could have considered those three months our European vacation. We took long walks in the woods every day and had many recreational activities available. "At home, now, I take Carnivora intrarmuscular injections five days a week, administered by my husband.Except that I don't have quite as much energy as I used to, right now I feel fine - really good," said the Iowa resident. "What I know is that Dr. Keller saved my life by use of his innovative biological methods. Everyone with a life-threatening condition should have access to Carnivora and not need to travel to Germany to receive it." On February 26, 1991, I checked on the health status of Betty Williams. She is alive and well - even thriving - and traveling the United States with ber husband in their mobile home. They are enjoying their retirement. [ captions of photos (not included) ] Inflammatory carcinoma in the right breast of Betty Williams of Ames, Iowa, a photograph that was taken one week following the commencement of treatment with Carnivora by Helmut Keller, M.D. The intravenous infusion consists of 5 ml of Carnivora dissolved in 250 ml of physiological saline administered Monday through Friday. Administered also is 2 ml of Carnivora as an intermuscular injection on a five-day-per-week schedule over a three-month period. The patient's breast shows inflammation, blackness, and swelling, but before this initial five days of treatment was received, the patient's disease signs were worse. Inflammatory carcinoma in the right breast of the same patient is gone. This photograph was taken three months after the full Carnivora treatment program was administered to her. Betty Williams is now on a Carnivora maintenance program at home with an optimal schedule of 2 ml injected two to three times weekly from three months onward (for two years or more), depending on the patienes blood CD, cells. THE DECADE-LONG USAGE of CARNIVORA Since 1981, over 2,000 patients have been treated with Carnivora. Among them has been President Ronald Reagan who received the substance postoperatively following his operation for malignant polyps of the colon. The President took Carnivora drops for their healing and preventive powers against cancer recurrence. Probably he continues to take them even today. It's suspected, but not confirmed, that Nancy Reagan takes Carnivora for avoiding the recurrence of her breast cancer. Page 6 Also, actor Yul Brynner(now deceased), from receiving dosages of Carnivorain injections and/or Carnivora drops, had experienced a reversal of signs and symptoms of adenocarcinoma of lung, a common, peripherally-spreading malignancy through the bloodstream. The actor traveled to Hannover, West Germany to consult Hans Nieper, M.D.. In turn, Dr. Nieper contacted Dr. Keller in order to become educated about the beneficial properties and dosages of this extract of the Venus Fly Trap. Dr. Nieper took his colleague's advice and utilized the nontoxic extract which Dr. Keller supplied at no charge. In just a short time regression of Yul Brynner's adenocarcinoma became apparent by means of diagnostic procedures. His lung tumor's size diminished considerably within several weeks. The patient left Germany believing that his cancer was cured and continued taking the Carnivora for only two years. Then, he foolishly followed the recommendation of a New York City oncologist and failed to keep up the remedy. Brynner did not understand that the Carnivora therapy required self-administration five times weekly for an indefinite period. Therefore, the actor's lung tumor" began its previous growth. Still, Yul Brynner did not die from cancer. What actually killed him on October 10, 1985 was meningitis. CARNIVORA CURE The therapeutic benefits of this extract of the Venus Fly Trap plant were discovered by Dr. Helmut Keller in a serendipitous way. His first suspicions as to the phytopharmacon's usage began during January 1973 as he observed the feeding actions of some plants grown by Elga his wife, in her window boxes. They lived in Needham, Massachusetts, a Boston suburb, while Dr. Keller worked on tumorgenesis in the animal laboratories of Boston University. Elga's carnivorous plants were digesting primitive protein tissues such as flies, small worms and other insects. During his observations of their foraging behavior, it struck Dr. Keller that the pressed juices of Dioncea muscipula might be useful for the treatment of cancer and possibly other chronic degenerative diseases. At the time he was worldng with Syrian hamsters. Therefore, for eleven months Dr. Keller experimented with the extract of Venus Fly Trap by applying it to human tumor tissue two centimeters in diameter which he had transplanted into the cheek pouches of the hamsters. Comparing the treated rodents with controls, he administered Carnivora to one group of the cancer-laden animals and cured them. SOME LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS WITH CARNIVORA Hydroplumbagin-4-0-beta-glucopyranoside (plumbagin), a main component of Camivora which has high immune-stimulating activity, was isolated in 1988. Two ml of the extract contains 67.4 mcg of this component.' In his Syrian hamster experiments, Dr. Keller implanted equal amounts of human lymphosarcoma and squamous epithelial cell carcinoma tissues into the cheek pouches of l2O animals. Within nine weeks, thirty transplants grew to tumor diameters of 10 to 12 mm. Twelve of these hamsters were treated with 1-5 ml Dionaea muscipula injectable solution at two-day intervals. After 15 injections all Page 7 of the treated animals showed a caseous degeneration and complete lysis of the tumor masses. Six hamsters treated intraperitoneally with 1.5 ml of O.9 percent salt solution served as non-medicated controls. The controls implants grew into full blown cancer and killed them. In another experiment, into the necks of mice crushed tumor tissue containing Harding-Passey melanosarcoma cells was injected subcutaneously. The animals were divided into three groups. Group one was the negative control and, as treatment, it received 0.9 percent sodium chloride solution intravenously and/or intraperitoneally. Group two was the positive control, and it received a similar technique of treatment with cyclophosphamide, a substance known for its growth inhibiting properties. However, cyclophosphamide is toxic if administered for a prolonged period; therefore, Dr. Keller discontinued its use after 12 days in order to prevent the death of this group of animals. For the third group, within 24 hours of transplantation, the researcher administered Carnivora extract intravenously and/or intrapezitoneally to these mice for 20 days. With all the animals, on the 29th day following tumor transplantation, the tumors were removed and weighed. Using the tumor weight in the animals of group one as a standard, Dr. Keller learned that cyclophosphamide at 25mg/kg body weight 'reduced the tumor weight by 99% but with metabolic toxicity as a consequence. 'Carnvora at lOOmg/kg bodyweight caused a reduction of the tumor weight to 59% with no toxicity for the animal. The cytostatic effect in capillaries is a slowing of movement and accumulation of blood cells, especially polymorphonuclear leukocytes. As the ATP-content of a substance decreases, its cytostatic effect increases. Using bioluminescence, by measuring the ATP-content of Hela cells, the product's developer determined the cytostatic effect of Carnivora. After inoculating Hela cells with Carnivora dilutions of 1:10, 1:100, and 1:1000, in 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, Dr. Keller - found that the Hela cells, ATP-values were sigificantly lower compared to the controls (see illustrations #4 and #5). Carnivora in a dilution of 1:10 caused an ATP-loss of 50% after 1 hour of Hela cells incubation. After 24 bours, the cells' ATP- content was zero. Dr. Keller performed many more laboratory experiments which pointed up the therapeutic effect of Carnivora against cancer and other immune suppression diseases. For instance, he did several phagocytosis assays on human granulocyte fractions incubated with yeast cells and plumbagin with resulting immunoinduction. Since this article would be overly long if all of his investigative efforts were to be described, suffice it to say that Carnivora proved itself as an in vitro and in vivo immunological booster. Page 8 Identity, Indications, Formulations, and Dosages of Carnivora Pressed juices of Dionaea muscipula, an extract of the Venus Fly Trap plant (see illustration #6), provides a standardized phytopharma-ceutical agent designated as 'Carnivora." In the form of Carnivora drops for oral and inhalation use and as Camivorain injections for intravenous and intramuscular administration, the exact has been used successfully for the treatment of chronic diseases including most forms of cancer, neurodermitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, all types of herpes infections, primary chronic polyarthritis, and almost any immune deficiency state. It is highly effective for the total elimination of the HIV virus in vivo from human blood and may be considered a cure for the autoimmune deficiency syndrome - AIDS. I have already pointed out that a series of long- and short- term in vitro and in vivo laboratory studies on tissue cultures and laboratory animals proved that Carnivora is extremely nontoxic and non-mutagenic. Following German Food and Drug Administration (GMP) guidelines, the endotoxin activities of Carnivora are less than O.5ng/ml.This phytopharmacon offers the following therapeutic benefits against multiple forms of cancer, AIDS, and other chronic pathologies: (1) cytostasis, (2) mitotic inhibition, (3) immunoinduction, (4) virucidal effect, and (5) alleviation of pain. Each 50 ml of the Carnivora injectable solution contains the sterile pressed juice of the entire fresh Venus Fly Trap, adjusted to 2% dry residue and isotonicity with mannitol. Each milliliter of the Carnivora Venus Fly Trap drops contains three ingredients, each comprising one third of the solution. That is, Carnivora drops contain one third of the pressed juice of the entire fresh plant adjusted to 2%W/W dry residue, one third of 86% ethanol, and one third purified water. Making therapeutic use of the Carnivora 50 ml injectable solution for intramuscular purposes, 2 ml are administered daily for any of the chronic diseases already named until the therapist observes an increase in the patient's helper/suppressor cell ratio. Then the same dosage of 2 ml is administered to the patient by means of intramuscular injection twice or thrice weekly as a maintenance dosage. For oral administration, the 100 ml oral formulation of Carnivora is taken by the patient as 30 drops three to five times a day before meals and diluted in a glass of purified water or tea. Without diluting it in a glass ofwater, the taste of concentrated Carnivora is similar to that of a shot of aged whiskey. As with drinking any alcoholic beverage that burns the tongue, it takes getting used to. For inhalation purposes, 2 ml of the Carnivora oral formulation should be mixed with 2 ml of 0.9% salt solution and inhaled by the patient five times tillly by means of a cold steam vaporizer.

In accordance with laws of the country of import, Carnivora is available for purchase. Page 9 As a teleFAX response to my query about whether physicians around the world might administer Carnivora to their patients, Dr. Keller wrote: 'Yes, but I would like to induce the treatment myself in Bad Steben for the period of four to six weeks, and discharge the patient to that referring physician with an optimal schedule of treatment." He welcomes physician preceptorships.'

CARNIVORA AS A CURE FOR HIV-POSITIVE PATIENTS In Los Angeles, Ronald T. Asti, a forty-seven year-old landscape gardener whose blood serum tested positive for the p24 core antigen of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), was invited by Dr. Keller to come to his Bad Steben clinic to receive treatment with Carnivora at no charge. "It was my lucky day. My health was declining," Mr. Asti said. "I was losing weight-, my energy was way down, and the treatment sounded terrific. It couldn't hurt, even if it did not help."The patient had listened to a lecture presented by Dr. Keller in Pasadena, California at the Cancer Control Society's 18th Annual Convention, September 2, 1990. At this meeting Mr. Asti had approached the physician about how he might have Carnivora administered to him. "Six years ago," Asti continued, "I was diagnosed with HIV, and somewhere along the line I was infected with cytomegalovirus, too. Years before I had come down with syphilis and was treated, but the condition kept coming back so that my immune system got run into the ground. I never really did get over the syphilis, even though last year I went on high doses of antibiotics for two months. "My true HIV diagnosis was AIDS- related complex (ARC) with frequent infections hitting me, being tired all the time. And I had a problem in that I saw seven doctors in seven years, each one relating my condition to something other than the diagnosis of the doctor before - herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, candidiasis, and more. Treatment with lots of antibiotics afforded me no help," Asti said."l was getting sicker all the time. In September 1990, when I consulted with Dr. Keller in Pasadena, I was losing an average of one pound a day, my weight had dropped from 189 pounds to 168. If I managed to work even one day, I needed four days to sleep. The heat in Los Angeles just wiped me out. It was a very unhealthy picture for me in the summer of 1990." His steady physical deterioration and lack of assistance he was receiving from conventional medicine caused Asti to seek out, Alternative medical care. From what he had heard, the Keller Carnivora treatment program seemed to match his need. Indeed, within four months of Ronald Asti's embarking for Germany, he returned to the United States completely cured of ARC. The patient's blood shows absolutely no signs of HIV-1 antigen. "Pouring out of my body was much debris," Asti explained to me during our telephone interview - he in Bad Steben, West Germany and me in Stamford, Connecticut - during his last week of receiving Page 10 Carnivora treatment at the Chronic Disease Control and Treatment Center. "Mucous came out of my nose as if I had a bad cold; debris showed up on my skin in the form of pimples, papules, tiny blisters, and other skin eruptions in the head and neck areas. It was just like I had teenage acne. During this time I showed no temperature elevation, and my energy was exceedingly high. I felt great and was active, but my lungs and bronchiole areas seemed much congested, and I coughed up phlegm. It was eight weeks into the treatment that this entire detoxification action began for me. I urinated more - at least ten urinations a day. Then my T4 helper cell count started to elevate, and it did rise from 350 to over 1700. At the eleventh week of Carnivora treatment, my helper/suppressor cell ratio increased from O.2 to l.00,"said the patient The known normal helper/suppressor cell ratio is 1.5.| 'I was getting well by being infused with 5 ml of Carnivora in sodium chloride solution five days a week, plus 2 ml of Carnivora by intramuscular injection in the thigh. By week 10, my blood got so dirty with dead HIV viruses, Dr. Keller's blood monitoring machine could not measure it anymore. So, I traveled to an independent laboratory in Frankfurt for AIDS testing. There it was discovered that the HIV virus in my body was totally inactivated and dead. Learning that, I cried with joy. I'm cured of AIDS! Please tell doctors about the Carnivora treatment program so that others may live. Let me tell you, Dr. Keller is loved by everyone, because he loves people and is really interested in them. He doesn't let the patient hang loose," said Ronald T. Asti - 'I feel so very indebted and grateful to him. Dr. Keller knows exactly what's going on with each of his patients, and he truly cares about all of them.' Reference 1 .

Boy, do I feel dumb. At any rate, the book is called Heal Your Cancer Naturally--my friend thinks the author is Edie Mae. She is also fighting against cancer which was thought to be gone but has returned in her bones--sounds bad--she broke a hip just turning over in bed a few weeks ago. But she is in good spirits, and would appreciate any advice on alternative therapies. My friend's name is Day--oh, and the other thing I posted to the *wrong list* was that the March/April issue of Natural Health magazine has several comprehensive articles on the results of alternative therapies with various kinds of cancer.
