“Poisoned Back to Health”
From the book, “Fit For Life!”

I was deeply saddened by the passing of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Not so much because she was the widow of one of the presidents of the United States or that she was a woman of great courage, style, and dignity who had gone through so much in her private and public life. I was saddened by the fact that she became yet one more victim in a long and heart-rending line of victims to lose their lives because of a lack of understanding of the basic needs of the human body. History will record that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis died of cancer. And most assuredly cells had been driven crazy in her body. But I believe that ignorance of the dynamics of her lymph system hastened her death.
There is a simple, logical, commonsense axiom in Natural Hygiene. It is so obvious that one might think it is ludicrous even to mention. Here it is: you cannot be poisoned back to health. Does that seem reasonable to you? But lo and behold there is also a medical axiom. Remember, I mentioned it earlier? In Latin it is Ubi virus, ibi virtus. Translation: Where there is poison, there is virtue. If you were in a bookstore, would you be sufficiently interested to spend your money on a book entitled How to Poison Yourself Back to Health? Probably every fiber of your being would revolt against such a suggestion; yet medical treatment dictates that those who are sickest be poisoned the most.
Radiation and chemotherapy are poisons. They poison and kill both cancer cells and healthy cells. Moreover, these treatments are themselves carcinogenic. That’s right, the treatment for cancer causes cancer. Back in the early eighties, health-care workers who were involved with the preparation and administration of anticancer drugs were warned to take special precautions when handling the drugs because of the risk of developing cancer from being in contact with them. An article published by the American Cancer Society states that the increased risk “should be of great concern to those handling anticancer agents.”
So, those handling the drugs should be greatly concerned. What about the people having them injected directly into their veins! No need for concern there? If a strong, healthy, fit, and vibrant person were to be given intense radiation and chemotherapy, that individual would quickly become debilitated, devitalized, and sick. How then could the same treatment given to someone who is already sick be expected to make that person well? Where’s the common sense? If something will make a well person sick, it will surely make a sick person sicker. How could it possibly be otherwise?
As I read articles describing the cancer treatment given to Mrs. Onassis, I was filled with sorrow and dread. In the midst of the assault she was under, I commented to a friend that Mrs. Onassis couldn’t possibly live out the week. She died the next day.
Mrs. Onassis had lymphoma. “Oma” means tumor, so what she had was a tumor in her lymph system, meaning one or more of her lymph nodes were found to have cancer cells in them. Trapped there, no doubt, by her body as it struggled as best it could with the results of years of toxemia within her system. Had the affected lymph nodes been in her breasts, she would have been told that she had breast cancer. If cancer is diagnosed in a lymph node, it is described as a lymphoma (i.e., non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma). In fact, a tumorous lymph node in the breast could be called lymphoma as well.
Newspaper accounts of Mrs. Onassis’s cancer and treatment said that her cancer “attacked” the lymph system and that “tumors can arise anywhere there are lymph nodes and lymphatic channels.” She became acutely aware of her problem when in December 1993 she “noted a swelling in her right groin.” A physician diagnosed a swollen lymph node. A few weeks later she developed a “cough, swollen lymph nodes in her neck and pain in her abdomen.” She was examined and her doctor found “enlarged lymph nodes in her neck and in her armpit.” A CAT scan (a computerized X ray) showed that “there were swollen lymph nodes in her chest and in an area deep in her abdomen.”
To a Natural Hygienist, in tune with the dynamics of the body and the knowledge of the important role the lymph system plays, these signals could not have been clearer. Mrs. Onassis needed to allow her system to be cleansed of toxins and waste and she needed it fast.
Instead of realizing that cancer cells had been trapped in lymph nodes as an attempt to cordon them off from the rest of the body until they could be dealt with, traditional medicine looked upon them as helpless victims under attack by marauding cancer cells. In response to that view, a course of very aggressive radiation and chemotherapy was undertaken and the former first lady’s fate was sealed. She was bombarded with drugs. Lots of powerful, virulent, energy-sapping, life-diminishing drugs. The New York Times stated that she “initially responded to therapy, but it [cancer] came back in her brain and spread through her body.”
For the unrelenting pain in her neck, Mrs. Onassis received more drugs. For the acute pneumonia she developed in her weakened state, she received more drugs. Steroids were part of the mixture in her chemotherapy, which caused a perforated ulcer in her stomach. In the middle of her ordeal, she had to be operated on to sew up the hole in her stomach. She went from bad to worse, and as a final assault on her body, she was subjected to even more radiation and chemotherapy, only this time, it was shot directly into her brain. The cancer spread to her spinal cord, her liver, and throughout her body. She became weak and disoriented, lost weight, developed shaking chills, her speech slowed, and she had difficulty walking.
How Mrs. Onassis held on for as long as she did under such a barrage of poisonous chemicals is a testament to her strength and will to live. The fact is, her body was already weak from her own internal struggle to deal with the cancer in her lymph system. Add to that a relentless attack with the most virulent poisons on earth and she didn’t stand an ice cube’s chance in the sun. After it was apparent that all hope of recovery was gone, the headline in the New York Times read: DOCTORS TOLD MRS. ONASSIS THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO. I’d say!
How ironic that the constant contact with toxins–poisons– is what drives cells crazy in the first place and it is more poisons that are then used to try to destroy those cells. It is the elements of health, not poisons, that will produce good health, recapture it if it is lost, and maintain it once found.
I watched the same scenario unfold in 1963 when my father was only fifty-seven years old. He’d been diagnosed with cancer. It was bad, but nothing compared to the aftermath of the radiation and chemotherapy he endured. I was only eighteen at the time and had not yet learned what I know now, so obviously I couldn’t exert any influence on the decisions being made on his behalf. He is one reason that my life’s work is to help people avoid a fate similar to his.
A few days after Mrs. Onassis’s death, there was an article in the New York Times with a headline that made me shake my head in exasperation. It read: LYMPHOMAS ARE ON THE RISE IN U.S., AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY.” In the article, there were statements like, “No one knows precisely why.” “Experts are stymied.” “ Doctors know little.” “Reasons are poorly understood.” It always amazes me that whenever medical scientists don’t know something, they immediately declare that “no one knows.” It’s not true.
Sure enough, five years later in 1999, an article appeared on the drop in lung cancer due to a decline in smoking. It noted, however, that other cancers are not faring so well, and it stated, “New cases of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma are rising by 1.8 percent a year.
That was followed by the old refrain: “No one knows why.” Well, my friend, I know why. And now, you do as well.
I am very fortunate to have several friends who are doctors who are not threatened by the fact that although I am not medically trained, I can sufficiently challenge their thinking on certain aspects of traditional medical treatment to make them stop and reflect. One of these friends, whom I have known for more than a dozen years and with whom I am very close, asked me what approach I was going to take in telling people how to prevent cells from being driven crazy. I told him my approach focuses on an understanding of the lymph system, how it works and how to keep it sufficiently clean so as to prevent tumors from appearing. After explaining to him the Natural Hygiene view of how the lymph system operates, I asked him point-blank, “How is it that medical doctors, including you, can go to school for twelve years and come away with no understanding of the crucial role the lymph system plays in preventing disease?” He thought for a few moments and said, “You know what, Harvey? I don’t know why. It’s just not stressed. We learn the mechanics of it, but not its practical application.” And it is this epic oversight that is the very reason that so many of the experts “don’t know” how to prevent cells from being driven crazy.
Here is my message to you, dear reader: Don’t worry! By applying the principles of CARE (see Part II), you will know how to deal with cancer, because by understanding and respecting the activities and needs of your lymph system, you will be taking the appropriate steps to prevent it from ever occurring in the first place.

Ohhh This is great! (((( Smiles ))))

I hope you don't mind but I'm going to send this to my cuzen who had cancer and gave
up aspects of regular treatment in favor of other kinds of therapies/supplements..
I don't know if she knows about this site as I've been too busy to tell her..
At this time but we are close and if she hasen't seen this board already..
as she sends me alot of stuff allready..
She will most likely enjoy reading this..

Thank You Russ...
This is a very enlightening site...
Indeed...

Take Care
