Some of January's correspondence from our members

"We agree wholeheartedly that the traditional medical practices used, being chemo and radiation, are highly suspect, to say the least. We are very interested in alternative medical practices and natural remedies for healing the body and see that correct nutrition, rest and exercise plays an important part in eliminating or avoiding cancer." - Mr & Mrs Ern A., Queensland Australia

"Read 'Health Wars and cried! Read 'Food For Thought' and was encouraged. Just reading 'The Mind Game'. I too am a victim of medical mad 'practice' but have seen the light. How could I become involved in this movement in South Africa? Are there any representatives here? One of my friends is now reading 'Health Wars' as she is recovering from breast cancer after being in remission twice. She is now on the Hallelujah Diet since the beginning of December 2003 and her last T Count was normal. She cannot put 'Health Wars' down. There is a need to educate and liberate the ill-informed, previously disadvantaged folk in our country from falling prey to money-making medical maniacs who see the knife and the prescription as the only means to healing and saving lives. I've been there and survived. How many have not?" - Cheryl S., KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

"Your website very concisely tells the truth behind the stinking, corrupt, undemocratic EU and shows why we must dump the EU NOW!"- Geoffrey D., Northants., UK

"Very informative and straightforward information is much needed to dispel the myths of medicine; the public has been duped and lied to for years. People need to make informed decisions about their health and CTM, luckily, is not afraid to tell the truth. Keep on informing people until you embarrass the s**t (!) out of the profit-mongering pharmaceuticals industry." - Sylvia L. Victoria, Australia

"Fantastic, keep it up. You are making a huge difference in educating the people and saving lives." - Colin M., Auckland, New Zealand

"I have CLL and, after much study, decided the current medical treatment in the US is dangerous and going in the wrong direction. I have been taking B17 for two years and feel it contributes to my well-being." - Frieda B., MN., USA

"I am a natural health therapist (semi-retired). Although I have always encouraged a serious level of dialogue between complimentary and allopathic medicine, I am concerned to see the decline in this activity hastened by the onslaught on natural medicine coming out of Europe, and so eagerly aided by our own government departments and inevitably by the drug cartel. Polarised opinions are always destructive and those with the most to lose ie. the sick, are the first to suffer from our inability to solve this impasse. We must try harder to find a route through." - Mrs Christine M., Scotland, UK

"I live with cancer and have done so knowingly for about 9 years without conventional treatment. I am naturally interested in what is going on with cancer treatments and wonder why - and at the same time know why, namely money, keeps nutritional and lifestyle changes from being studied and researched more thoroughly for the benefit of others." - Mrs Rose S., Tauranga, New Zealand

"What I have read in your mail to date echoes my sentiments about much cancer treatment and the involvement of drug companies in opposing much alternative medicine and dietary regimes." - Mrs Ruth L., Northland, New Zealand

"Am surrounded by people fighting cancers of varying types and would dearly love to help if they would listen! For myself, I lost my parents, my two sisters and my wife to that dreaded C word. Fight the good fight of faith. Blessings." - Peter C., Queensland, Australia

"I was diagnosed with cancer 18 months ago and am treating myself with diet, meditation, affirmations and reading voraciously! All a bit scary, but people like you give me courage. Thank you." - Ms Susan H., Victoria, Australia

"Love what you do, my friends. Expose the truths and keep on keeping it real."- Miss Sheridan A., Victoria, Australia

"The article on cancer was a real eye opener! I would like to read more, especially with regards to natural ways to cure." - Mrs Wendy R., Nairobi, Kenya

"There is so much false information brainwashing the general public. I want to do what I can to get the whole truth out and take the power from the killing corporations." - Ms Martha S., Dublin, Ireland

"As a student of nutritional medicine, I was doing research for my assignments and came across your website. I am very impressed especially as my husband died of bladder cancer - or the treatments for cancer - six years ago. Keep up the good work." - Mrs Cynthia T., Mid Glamorgan, UK

"I have an agricultural background and am very much aware of chemicals that are added to our food that makes us ill in order to keep the drug companies in control of our lives. Need I say more?" - Mrs Thelma D., Queensland, Australia

"My 5-year-old son has a brain tumour in the brain stem. Inoperable. He was given 3 months to live approximately 20 months ago. We are treating him with B17 metabolic therapy, liquid bovine cartilage, mushroom extract, wheatgrass, etc.. His tumour has shrunk to approximately 1/5 size and may now be only scar tissue. Your books provided us with the catalyst and inspiration. Please keep us informed. We now feel that we are truly in the position to help and advise others. Include us in any campaigns, publicity etc. planned or evolving in Australia. With love and gratitude," - Brian and Carol C., New South Wales, Australia

"Awesome stuff! GO, GO, GO! Great work! Thank you for all you do to bring natural healing to the world!" - Ms Alice C., Connecticut, USA

"Excellent article on cancer. Expresses many views I have held myself for many years" - Mr Cris B., Nebraska, USA

"… whenever I am approached to contribute to a cancer charity, I let them know the facts!" - Trevor D'E., New South Wales, Australia

"I know that there are many alternative treatments for cancer. I'm interested in the truth about treatments and the prevention of cancer which is never mentioned in the scare tactics, nor the dangers of chemotherapy. I look forward to the bulletins." - Mrs Antoinette L., Yorkshire, UK

"Regarding the farce of a programme on cancer the other night, the result was expected, was it not? It was just another fixed piece of work by organizations that have the money and the clout to suppress leaks about cheap and workable healing. They can buy almost everyone they want in order to bring about the result they desire. Knowing this, I am sickened by the cynical way in which the public, worldwide, is being exploited by the orthodox medical profession and drug companies.
Last May, I was told I had stage 2 prostate cancer and was recommended radiation therapy. I managed to hold off the NHS oncologist's pressure to have the radiation whilst boosting my immune system with IP6+Inositol as recommended by an enlightened consultant GP at a private Arterial Disease Clinic. After 2 months, my PSA marker had gone down twice. I then started infusions at the clinic of Laetrile, DMSO and vitamin C described as non-toxic chemotherapy. There are others there getting similar, successful treatment.
My PSA has continued to fall and is now close to half of what it was in May. (9.8 down to 5.19). I feel fine and the only casualty was the ego of the National Health Service oncologist, who really had no idea how the cancer was being beaten without their intervention. What state would I be in now if I had allowed myself to be given radiation?" - Ron R., West Yorkshire, UK

"Phillip. I spoke to you at one of your lectures last year, at Blackheath, last May, when I'd had surgery for breast cancer only one month previously. I told you that I had also had mtabolic therapy - B17 infusions etc - before surgery and that I had turned down the radio/chemo route. You said some very encouraging things and I am pleased to report that a recent thermal imaging report and a blood test (telomerase) both show no evidence of secondary activity. I am continuing with mtabolic, nutritional and Ayurvedic supplements.
I have been offered a place on an NHS Forum - an independent group (300 plus all over the country) - and they accepted me, it seems, because I said I wanted to see complementary therapies given their rightful place in the NHS!! I will let you know how things go."- Helen M., London, UK

"I was totally disgusted when I watched the dumbed-down way the TV cancer programme totally belittled any other way of looking at dealing with cancer that wasn't THEIR WAY. The complementary therapy professor from Exeter was the only person supposedly from the alternative side, and he seemed to be just as disparaging about alternatives to slash, burn and poison as the regular oncologists. ONE WONDERS WHO FINANCES HIS UNIVERSITY PROGRAMME ??
Also, did anyone else notice the vast number of adverts that appeared on TV and in the papers in the days following this TV programme? What a sales pitch advertorial on prime time TV.
So thank you for your comments about it, as it reassures me I'm not the only person who felt like throwing a brick at the telly that night." - Jill N., UK

"Fantastic! Finally some information that is backed up with good, solid facts and research - entertaining as well!" - Julie S., Cairns, Australia

"First time I've heard Phillip - brilliant, really well informed and has some answers for so many conditions. Fantastic to hear someone game enough to TELL THE TRUTH - really fabulous." - Denise F., Brisbane, Australia

"I am a nursing student in my 2nd year and was greatly encouraged to incorporate what I have learned into my profession." - Margaret C. Queensland, Australia

"I have been working with a cancer patient for over 12 months and thanks to the knowledge I received from reading your book, my friend is still alive."- Mrs Sue I., New South Wales, Australia

"Such important, inspiring necessary work." - Vivianna W., New South Wales, Australia

"Excellent information. Will act on it promptly! Down with the Porche Payments!" - Maureen K., Victoria, Australia

"I'm a registered nurse caring for my 41-year-old husband who has terminal gastric cancer. Within four months of first being diagnosed, he went from stage 2 to stage 4 (terminal). I'm disgusted with the health care industry in the USA on many levels and for many reasons. I have lost most of my faith, confidence, trust and respect for their so called 'healing abilities and wisdom'. I am considering leaving the nursing profession as a result.
It seems as if the patient gets treated for symptom after symptom and then the doctors treat the side-effects of the drugs they use to treat the symptoms. How idiotic is this? Further more, I feel like they always have something to gain by pushing a certain drug or treatment (though I can't prove that to be factual). It's a redundant, self-serving lunacy.
As a result of the above, I have been self-educating and dabbling in alternative medicine for years. Recently, with my husband suddenly becoming ill, I have been able to practise what I've learned over the years and put my knowledge to some good use. Still, I feel there is so much more to learn and in so little time that I'm reaching out to anyone and everyone who's vested in eastern/alternative/anti-western approaches to prevent sickness and treat disease." - Mrs Alicia S., Pennsylvania, USA

"My husband's story is typical and you will see why we celebrate, daily, the fact that he is still alive. Due to some illnesses and medical problems that spanned a number of years, he ended up taking painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs. Then, when he had a mental breakdown due to pain and stress overload, he was admitted to a private, psychiatric hospital in the Midlands in 1998. There, he was "treated" by a plethora of anti-psychotic drugs and he became a hallucinating, shaking, even more nervous wreck. All these symptoms were interpreted by his psychiatrist as 'his illness becoming worse'!!
He came home and very quickly developed a serious iatrogenic illness and his drug list went up and up as his medics failed to understand that he was suffering from massive adverse drug reactions to the nine prescription drugs they were giving him.
He used to trust his doctors, and he was admitted to P… Hospital as an emergency three times in 2000 being treated in a totally unprofessional and unacceptable way by an arrogant consultant who presumed he was making up all his symptoms as he had been labelled on his medical records with the words "psychosomatic disorder". So he was left for nine days with raging high inter-cranial pressure and this damaged him considerably. When he was given two more strong drugs on top of the nine he was taking, he was so frightened and worried that he took the decision to throw all of them away over a period of three weeks.
Guess what? He began to recover and now with the help of complementary therapies - just lately the Russian SCENAR treatment that has helped his brain re-connect the damaged neural pathways - his quality of life has improved enormously. We don't feel victims any more and are at the point of giving up attempting to persuade the medical profession that their chemical drugs, given in combination, do more harm than good. And until drug companies test multi-medications then who's to say that these drugs cannot harm and kill?
Your organisation is like a breath of fresh air that is much needed. Even at Ombudsman level, our complaints have been ignored. So, good luck with all your efforts and if I can help in any way - let me know.
I have been researching this issue of drug damage and polypharmacy for three years and have six files full of documented evidence and many books that I have bought. All this has been ignored by the medics and even a solicitor, who began to act for us (paid for by our house insurance) and suddenly did an about-turn and dropped the case." - Penny P., Cumbria, UK

"This mighty nation shall not fall into the hands of Europe. They couldn't take her in all their war efforts, now they try to do it the political way. This must not happen. What did our grandfathers die for?" - Steven R., West Midlands, UK

"There must be some way we can inform the 'Great British Public' of the impending DISASTER of being ruled by a non-elected, non-accountable, free from prosecution (self-imposed) bunch of legalised gangsters. Why, oh why is our so called 'free press' not making much, much more of this? Maybe it's because they are also involved. So much for their 'free' status. It looks as though there is no way to win against such people." - Michael S., London, UK

"There is too much information (virtually propaganda) publicised in the media about orthodox medicine - particularly related to cancer -and insufficient about the positive and supportive contribution of complementary and alternative medicine throughout the world. It's about time we were taken seriously - I am tired of this old 'red herring' that we are taking advantage of the general public, or 'the gullible' as they put it, simply because we choose to earn our living in this field. We are merely providing a valuable, informative and useful service to those who are CHOOSING to take some responsibility for their lives at a time when they are desperate for information." - Ms Edith M., Kent, UK

"As a person who is very focussed on health and proper nutrition, I commend the work of the CTM. I believe the biggest mistake in history was when the medical world adopted the research and teachings of Louis Pasteur instead of Antoine Beauchamp. We now know the TERRAIN IS EVERYTHING! We would like to help you in your mission in any way we can." - Mr Paul B. Bedfordshire, UK

"I attended one of Phillip Day's presentations in Wellington, New Zealand, 2003. I thoroughly enjoyed this and hope to attend others. Have been doing my best to spread the word about cancer ie. 'Cancer, Why We're Still Dying to Know the Truth' and trying to adopt the organic and anti-chemicals type lifestyles talked about. Really enjoy receiving the newsletters. Keep up the good work."- Mrs Heather W., Upper Hutt, New Zealand

"I feel what you are doing and achieving is absolutely fantastic as we all need to hear and know what's going on so we can make informed decisions. Thanks, Phillip Day and Credence. You're doing a fabulous job!" - Mrs Mary C., Victoria, Australia

"Having had an operation to remove 2 tumours from my breasts for cancer, the doctors scheduled yet another operation, plus chemo, plus radiation, plus Tamoxifen. My whole being screamed that this was terribly wrong. Two days before my second operation, through a client at my partners work, I was put in touch with a woman who was on the B17 therapy. There was the answer to my search. I cancelled the operation and the other treatments at the hospital. I was threatened that if I didn't do it their way I would die! Yeah, right! I am so over the moon that an organization such as yourselves exists and I shall spread the word!!" - Laila T., London, UK
