Playing dangerously with people's health
Hulda Regehr Clark, ND, PhD, author of The Cure for All Cancers and The Cure for All Diseases, is facing criminal and civil charges related to her activities. Clark, 70, claims to cure cancer, AIDS, and many other serious diseases. She describes herself as an "independent research scientist" with bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Saskatchewan and a PhD degree in physiology from the University of Minnesota (1958). She also lists a naturopathic (ND) degree, but the source is not identified.
Clark's treatment is available at Century Nutrition, a clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, where the basic fee for two weeks of "treatment" is $4,500 (plus 10% tax). This figure does not include the cost of a motel room (approximately $210/ week); meals ($250/ week); blood tests ($70 each); standard diagnostic imaging tests ($40 to $400); dental x-rays (at least $200); "individually tailored" supplements ($400 to $1,500 for a month's supply); equipment (about $350); tooth extractions ($80 each); and partial or full dentures ($450).
Bizarre Claims
Clark claims that all cancers and many other diseases are caused by "parasites, toxins, and pollutants" and can be cured by killing the parasites and ridding the body of environmental chemicals. Her book The Cure for All Cancers states:
All cancers are alike. They are all caused by a parasite. A single parasite! It is the human intestinal fluke. And if you kill this parasite, the cancer stops immediately. The tissue becomes normal again. In order to get cancer, you must have this parasite ....
This parasite typically lives in the intestine where it might do little harm, causing only colitis, Crohn's disease or irritable bowel syndrome, or perhaps nothing at all. But if it invades a different organ, like the uterus, kidneys or liver, it does a great deal of harm. If it establishes itself in the liver, it causes cancer! It only establishes itself in the liver of some people. These people have propyl alcohol in their body. All cancer patients (100%) have both propyl alcohol and the intestinal fluke in their livers.
The solvent propyl alcohol is responsible for letting the fluke establish itself in the liver. In order to get cancer, you must have both the parasite...
