Lecture of Dr. Matthias Rath, M.D.

In Augsburg-Gersthofen March 1999

I would like to begin this lecture with the historic parallel

of the Italian physic Galileo Galilei. When

Galileo was born in 1564, the sun still turned around the

earth. When he died, in 1642, things were the

other way round. Now the earth turned around the sun. Did the

stars change their course during these

eighty years? Certainly not. What had changed was the way the

people of this little planet earth looked

at the universe, and understood the course of the stars and

the workings of this universe. That had

changed. So was this great universal conversion greeted

everywhere? Not only was it not greeted, but it

was fought against, to the death. They threatened to torture

Galileo Galilei if he did not recant his claim.

And Galileo died a heretic, banished by the church. Why?

Well, because this was not about the stars in

the sky, but about the fear of those who were in power of

losing the hold they had over people.

The earth is a disc and lies in the centre of the universe.

The stars in the heavens are attached to seven

crystal domes. The sun circles the earth and in the centre of

the earth is Rome. This was the point from

which the Roman Church ruled the entire earth and the

universe. Galileo was declared a heretic

because his knowledge shook the global positions of power of

these Roman interest groups to their

foundations.

My lecture today takes place in a suburb of Augsburg.

Augsburg is also the birthplace of German writer

Berthold Brecht. One of his most well-known plays is about

Galileo Galilei’s fight. When you have the

time, read this piece of world literature or see the play in

the theatre some time. Many of the quotes

also concern our case. For instance, Galileo says: " Who does

not know the truth, is simply a fool. Yet

who knows the truth and calls it a lie, is a criminal. " In

the course of this lecture we will meet such

people of our time. Politicians and business people who are

very much aware of the truth, but

nevertheless call it a lie and want to prohibit it.

But first the facts. It is less than a year ago that the AOK,

one of the biggest health insurance

companies in Germany, published the following article in

their periodical of April 1998: " According to the

German Ministry of Health there are some 24,000 medications

on the market of which no therapeutic

efficiency, so healing properties, have been proven. 24,000

medications, that is over 98% of all currently

marketed medicines. These are prescribed, sold and taken by

the millions but they have no proven

effect. Yet the National Health Service has to pay for them. "

The situation is no different in Holland,

Britain, France and other European countries.

A second fact you should remember is a notification by the

Journal of the American Medical

Association of April 15th, 1998: It was established by an

extensive study that the side effects of

medication are now the fourth largest cause of death in the

industrial world, after heart infarction, stroke

and cancer. According to data of the German Medical

Association of April 18th, 1998, each year 8.000

people in Germany die of the serious side effects of

medication and over 100,000 fall seriously ill. Let

me recap: only one thing has been proven of 98% of currently

world-wide available pharmaceutical

preparations: that the serious side effects of these pills

cause new diseases with epidemic proportions,

that are the fourth largest cause of death after heart

infarction, stroke and cancer.

Now I have told you everything you really need to know.

That’s it. Have a good night and goodbye.

I see you would like to hear a bit more. To hide their

irresponsible practices the pharmaceutical industry

and its accomplices create new medical jargon: there was an

article in the Munich Medical Journal of

February 25th, 1999, with the title " Multimorbidity and

Polypharmacy as cause of pathological

confusion. " Let me translate that for you. Multimorbidity,

that is when a person suffers from several

diseases at the same time. Polypharmacy, I had never heard of

it but it frightened the life out of me.

There is now a diagnostic term for diseases that are caused

by taking too much medication; " poly "

means much and " pharmacy " means pharmaceutical preparations.

In other words, when you take too

much medication you can get a disease that now has its own

diagnostic term: " polypharmacy " . The

crime is hidden behind a Greek pseudonym.

The following millionfold tragedy is characteristic of our

health system at the end of the twentieth

century: people get insufficient vitamins, enabling a number

of chronic diseases to develop. They are

then given medication, which, at best, will diminish the

symptoms, but will most of all create new,

serious diseases. And then scientific articles are written

about " multimorbidity in case of polypharmacy "

and these are published in medical periodicals. The Munich

Medical Journal is no city newspaper but

one of the largest medical journals in Europe.

I like to stick to the facts. That is why I will give you

some numbers of the Wiesbaden Institute of

Statistics, on causes of death in our time: over half the

number of deaths are caused by heart

infarctions and strokes. Second largest cause of death is

cancer, followed by lung diseases,

gastrointestinal diseases, accidents, etc. What is not

mentioned in this official chart is the fourth largest

cause of death: polypharmacy – death caused by dangerous side

effects of largely ineffective

medication.

We not only wish to expose the unbearable wrongs, but would

most of all like to offer alternatives.

Those who have read my book " Why animals don’t get heart

attacks – but people do " will be aware of

the progresses made by Cellular Medicine in the fight against

heart infarctions and other common

diseases. For those unfamiliar with the book I will give a

short introduction: what is Cellular Medicine?

Diseases in our bodies originate in the cells. So the first

basic rule is, health and disease of the body

are decided on the level of the millions of body cells that

constitute our organs. The second basic rule, a

chronic lack of vitamins and other bio-energy factors is the

most common cause of cell malfunction and

therefore of diseases. Third rule, cardiovascular problems

are by far the most common diseases

because the cells of the heart muscle and the arterial walls

haven an especially high consumption of

bio-energy, because of the constant mechanical functioning of

heartbeat and pulse. All this is obvious;

the heart is the engine of the body. You can compare this to

the engine in your car, which constantly

needs gasoline and oil. Finally the fourth fundamental rule

of Cellular Medicine, an optimum daily care

with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, trace elements is the

key to the prevention of cardiovascular

problems and many other diseases. The key word is: bio-fuel

for the cells. The most important bio-fuel

substances known to science today, that can be taken in

through food or nutritional supplements, are

vitamins, minerals, amino acids, trace elements. The

foundations of Cellular Medicine are that simple.

Do you understand?

I have brought you something tonight, our new book " Good

health is possible! " As opposed to my first

book, this book was written by the patients themselves. We

just summarised it and are now passing on

their experiences to you. Read it, form your own picture of

it. At the end of the book I have written the

following comment on the effects of these testimonials on the

reader: when you have reached this part

of the book there are only two possibilities left. The first

is to say, this Dr. Rath made it all up. Or, you

will have been convinced by these testimonials, in which case

the inevitable question will be: " Why

haven’t I heard of this before? " And I will answer this

question for you.

First of all it is important to understand that " Good health

is possible! " is not just the title of the book, it

is a reality. When you have read the book you will agree with

me that this is the beginning of a new era

in which we no longer need to fear many of the common

diseases. We can control them. Finally, " Good

health is possible! " is comprehensible for everyone because

the patients themselves are speaking. This

is also important for our success; to explain the results we

have made in an understandable way.

There is an historical parallel for this as well. In Brecht’s

play Galilei the Inquisitor General says: " This

evil man knows very well what he is doing when he writes down

his theories in the language of the

peddlers and fishmongers, instead of in Latin. " In those days

it was already recognised how dangerous

it would be if common people would understand those things

that only a select group should know of.

When the people have the knowledge, they can no longer be

fooled. They can no longer be sucked dry.

They will refuse to play the game any longer. This is why you

will find all our information material written

in a language everyone can understand.

I had planned to given you an overview of the results made by

Cellular Medicine. However, I do not have

the time to go into details. I will have to ask you to read

the books and the background information

carefully. I would now like to discuss with you

cardiovascular diseases, then in the second part virus

and cancer diseases and finally I will tell you about the

forces that block this medical breakthrough and

consciously put the health and lives of millions of people on

the line.

The first big breakthrough of Cellular Medicine was in the

fight against arteriosclerosis, the cause of

heart infarctions and strokes. Today over five hundred

million people world-wide suffer from

arteriosclerosis and the disease keeps spreading. So you tell

me, how can a disease keep on

spreading? Because contemporary medical science does not

recognise the true causes, or refuses to

recognise them. This is why to date orthodox medicine does

not know of an effective, preventive

therapy. The only thing modern medicine does is cure the

symptoms and repair the blocking of the

arteries mechanically. They give you a bypass. What does that

mean? It means that they work around

the problem, instead of tackling it at the roots. Or the

other mechanical reparation method,

percutaneous angioplasty. The depositions in the coronary

arteries are pushed flat against the artery’s

inner wall by a balloon that is blown up under high pressure.

Mechanical plumbing, while the doctors are

well aware that this does not treat the cause of the problem.

So what is the cause? A vitamin shortage in the cells of the

arterial wall. These cells move with every

heartbeat, meaning that the wall is stretched out seventy,

eighty times a minute. And so it is obvious

that these cells have a high consumption of bio-fuel,

especially vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene,

lysine, proline and amino acids. If you supply the cells of

the arterial wall with this bio-fuel, the arterial

wall will stabilise and you will prevent damage and the

resulting depositions.

Moreover, they can repair an already existing disease. A

utopian dream? No. those of you who have

read my book will know that we have conducted a research to

prove this directly with images of the

arterial walls. The Ultrafast Computer Tomogram, also known

as a mammogram of the heart, is a

diagnostic technique that was developed recently in the USA.

We were the first to use it for research

purposes. With the help of this Ultrafast Computer Tomogram

you can sort of look into the heart from

the outside and measure the depositions in the coronary

arteries with pictures that are taken within

milliseconds. Our research involved patients who already had

a cardiovascular disease and would

therefore have depositions in the coronary arteries. I am not

going into this whole research. You can find

it documented completely in my book " Why animals don’t get

heart attacks. "

I would now like to show you one of the impressive pictures

we came across during this research. On

the left side you can see a heart, a cross section of one

side of the heart. This white spot, which is

enlarged here, shows depositions in the left coronary artery.

On the right the same patient, the same

part of the heart, a picture of the coronary artery after one

year of taking the vitamin programme. The

depositions have disappeared, completely. Did this man have a

bypass operation? Did they push the

depositions away with angioplasty? No, the cells of the

arterial walls were supplied with vitamins and

other bio-fuel substances, and all of a sudden they could

function normally again.

The disappearance of the depositions as we see it in this

picture has never before been possible with

any medication or with any kind of therapy, diet or other

measure. For the first time in the history of

medicine, with the help of vitamins. Does that surprise us?

Certainly not. What other way could there

be? Even the sailors, when they did not get any vitamins,

especially vitamin C, died of what? Of scurvy.

The arterial wall has weakened and starts to tear, the

sailors bled to death. So five hundred years ago

the connection between a vitamin shortage and damage to the

arteries was already clear. And still I

have to stand here, before inquisitive people like you who

are now wondering why you never hear about

this on the evening news.

About a year ago, in April 1998, a German television

programme had a feature about our work. They

broadcast an interview with Lew Meyer, one of our research

patients, whose depositions had

disappeared completely with the help of our vitamin

programme. Before the cameras Lew Meyer said:

" You know, after one year I came for my check-up and the

researchers did not believe what they saw on

the x-rays. This had never happened, that depositions that

had been clearly visible before had simply

vanished. They asked me to come back the next day, as they

thought it was a technical error. But the

results were the same. Now everyone believed it. "

But Mr. Meyer’s case is not unique. On page 47 in " Good

health in possible! " you will find the following

testimonial of a cardiac patient on our vitamin programme:

" Already after four weeks my general

condition had improved. For the check-up I had an angioplasty

examination. The diagnosis was that

since the start of the vitamin programme the depositions in

the coronary arteries are diminishing. " The

patient sent us his x-rays as proof of the results. Reality.

And from this moment on all cardiac patients

can make use of this knowledge.

The second common disease that has spread world-wide is high

blood pressure disease. This disease

also keeps on spreading. Why? Because that is what they want,

the people who make billions on this

disease. This is probably the reason why medical science does

not want to know the causes, ways of

prevention and methods of treatment of this disease. Let me

describe a scene to you that takes place in

doctors’ offices around the globe every day. Some of you will

recognise themselves as the victims: your

face has turned red, you feel a slight pressure on your chest

and you go to your GP. He measures your

blood pressure and says, " dear mister so-and-so, you have

high blood pressure, but not to worry, I will

prescribe you something. " He gives you a prescription and you

go back home. At home your wife is all

excited and asks, " Well, what did the doctor say? " And

proudly you reply: " I have essential

hypertension. This guy is good; no one has described it this

precise before. " Unfortunately, neither you

nor your wife know what " essential " means in this case.

Before I give you the answer, let us see what

medical textbooks have to say about the causes of high blood

pressure: " in 90% of the cases the cause

of high blood pressure is unknown, " it says. And your GP

knows this too, who gave you the

prescription.

What does " essential hypertension " mean? " Hypertension " you

can look up in the dictionary, it means

high blood pressure. " Essential " you will have to look up in

the dictionary of secret language. It means:

" we don’t know where it came from. " So you have a " we don’t

know what causes it high blood pressure "

disease. And only the doctor knows this. And you think, " gee,

what an excellent diagnosis, this is such

a good doctor, I’ll go and see him again " . You understand how

the game is played?

But then what is the true cause of high blood pressure? In

90% of the cases the cause of high blood

pressure is a lack of vitamins in the arterial walls,

especially of vitamin C, but also of the amino acid

arginine, magnesium and co-enzyme Q10. When the artery wall,

which consists of muscle cells, has an

insufficient supply of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, it

starts to contract. When the circular shaped

muscles of the blood vessels contract, what happens to the

diameter? It gets smaller, and what about

the pressure? It rises. There, you now understand the cause

of high blood pressure. A plumber, working

with drainage systems every day, understands the cause of

high blood pressure instantly – without a

white coat.

But you take your doctor’s prescription to the chemist’s and

get your medication: a beta-blocker. What

does a beta-blocker do? It has no effect on the site of the

actual problem, the tension of the blood

vessels. Instead it affects a spot that has nothing to do

with the problem: the heart muscle. A

beta-blocker decreases the heart frequency, the number of

beats of the heart pump. Instead of relaxing

the arterial walls and tackling the problem at the roots,

this medicine lowers your heart frequency to

lower the pressure. And what happens to the patients? The

circulation is turned down, especially in the

brain, to such a point that many patients fall over after

taking their beta-blocker. In elderly patients

especially we find that dizziness and fainting are the most

common side effects.

You understand how the principle works? People do not want to

know what the cause is. And they do

not tell you that they do not know. They make up a pseudonym

to hide the fact that they do not know,

" essential hypertension " . They prescribe a medication that

consciously avoids to deal with the real

problem on the spot where it originates. They give you

pharmaceutical pills that affect a totally different

area. This way they can be sure that the high blood pressure

disease will continue to exist. Why do

such a thing? To keep a billion pound market in

pharmaceutical preparations for high blood pressure

disease alive and kicking, and to expand it.

What do you think of this letter from a patient with high

blood pressure, from the book " Good health is

possible! " : I have suffered from hypertension for 20 years.

Four months ago I started on you Cellular

Medicine Formulae. After only four weeks the blood pressure

went down. You can see the positive

development for yourself on the enclosed diagram. " The

patient has enclosed his blood pressure results

over the past four months. At the beginning of July the

first, systolic pressure was at 200; in September,

two months later, it was at 150. The patient also mentions:

" My doctor has confirmed the improvement

and has taken me off the blood pressure pills. "

This is a leitmotiv is all the testimonials in this book.

People start taking our vitamin programme, and

their condition improves. They are taken off the medication

that was prescribed to them, and their

condition improves even more. So what does that tell us? It

shows us that the medication itself had

become a problem for the health of these patients. But I have

to make it very clear: never stop taking

your medication, whether it is against high blood pressure,

or anti-arrhythmia pills or some other

medication. Go to you doctor and say, I feel better, I would

like you to examine me. Measure my blood

pressure, check the ECG. A responsible doctor will do this

and will reduce your medication accordingly.

The last disease in which Cellular Medicine has made a

breakthrough is heart insufficiency. One of the

most tragic diseases, and with a very bad prognosis. When you

are diagnosed with heart insufficiency

today, you will have a 50% chance to still be alive in five

years time. In other words, one in two heart

insufficiency patients will die within five years. This

disease also keeps on spreading world-wide. And

again the main cause is that orthodox medicine does not know

or want to know the causes, does not

know of a preventive therapy, and does not know of a healing

therapy. It is therefore not surprising that

orthodox medicine came up with heart transplants as the

therapy for heart weakness. This is nothing

else but the bankruptcy of medicine – you do not know what

else to do, so you just replace the entire

organ. But this brutal therapy will only do you good if you

are lucky and they find you a suitable donor

heart. In 95% of these cases the patients die a slow and

terrible death.

Every day, in every country on earth, it is the same tragedy.

All of a sudden you cannot climb the stairs

anymore. Up until now you could walk up to your son or

daughter on the fourth floor without having to

stop underway, but now you cannot do that. You reach the

second floor with breathing difficulties and

have to halt to get your breath back. In the evenings your

legs are swollen as fluid accumulates in the

tissues. You see the doctor and he tells you you have heart

weakness. You get a prescription, a

diuretic drug, and the doctor tells you that when you take

this you will feel better.

You go home, the wife asks what the doctor said. You pull out

the prescription and say: " I have an

idiopathic cardiomyopathy. This must be a very good doctor,

when he can make such exact

diagnoses. " Again you are mistaken. You can look up

" cardiomyopathy " in the dictionary: " cardio " is

heart, " myo " is muscle and " pathy " is disease. So you have a

disease of the heart muscle. The word

" idiopathic " you have to look up in the secret languages

dictionary again. It means " we do not know

what causes it " . This time it is in Greek. You cannot always

use the word " essential " , people are going

to notice.

You find this funny? I know that there are doctors among this

audience of 800 tonight. Feel free to

speak up and correct me in this. (pause)

I see no one who contradicts me. And it is true: the only

ones who know how this game is played, apart

from the pharmaceutical industry, are the physicians. Only

they do not talk about it.

So what is the cause of heart insufficiency? The cause of

this common disease is so simple that I can

explain it to you in 20 seconds. The heart pumps 80 beats a

minute, so the heart muscle cells contract

80 times a minute. Every time they contract, the cells use up

bio-fuel, like the engine of your car needs

energy in the form of gasoline. If the bio-energy for the

heart muscle cells is insufficiently supplied in the

form of vitamins and other bio-fuel, they will only perform

half as good as normal. This is the cause of

heart weakness. Do you understand it? And this was only 15

seconds.

Let us go back to our example. You go to the chemist’s and

get your medication, the diuretics. These

will cause the body to excrete the fluids. But what else will

be excreted? Everything that can be solved

in these fluids, especially water-soluble vitamins, minerals,

amino acids and other bio-fuel. This will only

add to the basic cause of the heart weakness, the lack of

vitamins. And now you understand why five

years after the disease is diagnosed only half the patients

are still alive – the other half was killed by an

insufficient therapy. Naturally, heart weakness patients who

have fluids accumulating in the tissues

should take diuretics for a certain period of time. But at

the same time the main cause of the disease

should be tackled: the shortage of vitamins and bio-fuel in

the heart muscle cells. Let me make it

perfectly clear: any doctor who only prescribes a heart

insufficiency patient diuretics without pointing out

that the patient will need nutritional supplements daily,

commits professional misconduct!

Two weeks ago, at the end of a lecture, a woman came up to

me, shook my hand and gave me a letter.

This is what it said: " Since the beginning of the sixties I

have suffered from a very high blood pressure

and from heart weakness. The accumulation of water and the

breathlessness are especially exhausting.

I also suffer from limited vision and can only see things

that are straight in front of me. I get a

disablement benefit. In November 1998 I started taking your

Cellular Medicine formulae. Now I have a

normal vision. I have no more headaches or pains in my legs,

so I no longer need support stockings.

And I can sleep lying down in my bed, instead of having to

sleep sitting up because of the

breathlessness. " What does this lady mean? When patients with

heart weakness lie down at night,

their lungs fill up with fluids. To be able to breathe at all

they have to sit up in bed, and will fall asleep

eventually from exhaustion. With the help of Cellular

Medicine this woman can sleep normally again.

This patient herself describes it as a miracle. But it is not

a miracle, these are scientific facts. When

you walk out of here tonight and say, that Dr. Rath is a

medical miracle worker, then you have not

understood what we are talking about. The health successes of

these patients and the progresses of

Cellular Medicine are applied science and logical thinking.

Everyone can understand Cellular Medicine

and everyone can apply it.

This patient’s letter ends with the words: " I know that many

people doubt the authenticity of these

testimonials, as no addresses or telephone numbers are

mentioned, so I hereby permit you to publish

my telephone number. "

Another impressive example is that of , a patient from

Memphis, Tennessee. used to be a

flight attendant. When she was 21 she suddenly became very

ill and an acute heart muscle weakness

was diagnosed. She had her first heart transplant. Four years

later, as she was 25, the second heart

was already so weak that the doctors advised a second

transplant. So at age 25 she was to get her

third heart. Then accidentally got her hands on my book

" Why animals don’t get heart attacks "

and she started taking the vitamin preparations. After a few

months her condition had improved to such

an extent that the heart transplant could be cancelled.

Together with I held a lecture in a hospital

in Memphis. She told her story. The people that were there,

including the doctors wept openly. Those

were tears of joy for , but also an expression of sadness

regarding a medical science that is kept in

a dead end street by the pharmaceutical industry.

Another common disease in which Cellular Medicine made a

decisive breakthrough is arrhythmia. This

disease, likewise, keeps spreading across the globe as

orthodox medicine does not know the causes,

does not want to know them and has no ways to prevent this

disease or treat it causally. What is the

main cause of arrhythmia? Let us ask first, how does the

heart keep on beating? Where does the

electricity in the heart come from? Do you lie in bed at

night and say " beat, beat, beat " ? I do not think

so. Is there an electric battery built into the heart, like a

flashlight? No, I doubt that. So where does the

electricity for 100,000 heartbeats a day originate? It comes

from the cells, the heart muscle cells, that

have the unique capability to produce electricity. Every

child knows electricity has something to do with

energy. And there you have the cause of arrhythmia: a lack of

vitamins and other bio-fuel in those cells

of the heart that are responsible for the electric impulse of

the heartbeat. And there is an abundance of

evidence for this in the form of clinical studies and patient

testimonials. For instance, one patient tells

us: " I am 64 years old and have suffered from arrhythmia for

12 years. I have been taking the Cellular

Medicine formulae since March 1st last year. After some three

months I noticed that the arrhythmic

disturbances occurred much less frequent than before. After

eight months the arrhythmia was gone

completely and my blood pressure was down to an average 150

over 90. My doctor took me off one

medication after the other.

These are the facts, but what does orthodox medicine do? It

tries to fight these common diseases with

methods that we can only shake our heads at. One is the

prescription of a medication that can cause

cardiac arrest as a side effect. The American journalist

has published that more people

have died of a cardiac arrest as a side effect than in the

Vietnam War. A further, rather brutal method of

orthodox medicine to battle arrhythmia is shutting down the

electric interference centres in the heart

with a wire that is pushed inside the heart through a

catheter. It is with this disease as it is with the

others; millions of people are misled with an unclear

diagnostic term: paroxysmal arrhythmia. Again, the

word paroxysmal simply means " we have no idea what causes

it. "

My advice to all arrhythmia patients is clear: never stop

taking your medication without the express

permission of your doctor. Begin taking a vitamin programme

as quickly as possible, preferably our

researched Cellular Medicine Formulae. Take this next to the

medication prescribed by your physician.

When you feel better after one or two months, as is generally

the case, ask your doctor for a check-up

ECG. A responsible doctor will reduce or stop the arrhythmia

medication after the second check-up at

the latest.

A final example regarding common cardiovascular diseases is

the blood sugar disease or diabetes. The

diabetes epidemic is spreading world-wide. Here orthodox

medicine only treats the symptoms, it lowers

the blood sugar level. Yet every doctor knows that even in

case of an average blood sugar level the risk

of cardiovascular diseases is still high, as the arterial

walls thicken and weaken. The resulting

circulatory problems are especially problematic for

diabetics, as nobody knows which organ will be hit

first by this blocking of the arteries. In the brain,

infarctions lead to strokes, in the eyes to blindness, in

the kidneys to kidney failure with resulting dialysis and

infarctions in the legs lead to dying off, making

amputation necessary. The most common form of diabetes is

adult or type II diabetes.

Even today orthodox medicine refuses to acknowledge that this

disease may have a genetic basis but

that the decisive trigger mechanism, which lets the genetic

tendency turn into a disease, is a long-term

lack of vitamins. When you have a sufficient supply of

vitamins, especially vitamins C and E, and trace

elements, the genetic predisposition will lead to the disease

much less frequent. The disease will not

develop at all or in a weakened form only. Here we also get a

clear message from clinical studies and

patient testimonials. One of the patients, who tackled her

disease with the Cellular Medicine Formulae,

wrote us the following letter: " I am 75 years old. I mostly

suffer from circulation problems in the legs. I

have been taking your formulae for four weeks and have

noticed that the circulation in my legs has

improved and that my blood sugar level has sunk to 100 up to

113 mg/dl. My doctor was speechless as

he saw this improvement, especially because we had already

been discussing the amputation of both

my legs. " Now, why would a physician be speechless? Because

he understands, all of a sudden, that

with the help of Cellular Medicine therapeutic successes are

possible that will outshine orthodox

medicine.

The second, large group of diseases that I would like to

discuss tonight are forms of cancer and other

aggressive diseases. Due to the failure of orthodox medicine

these diseases also keep spreading. A

recent and very impressive example is the case of the Jordan

king Hussein. What did he die of?

Cancer? No! King Hussein died of the prescribed therapy

against the cancer. What is the result of

chemotherapy, which was prescribed to him? The doctors tell

him the chemotherapy kills the cancer

cells in his body, so the bad cells. What they do not tell

him is that it will also kill the other cells, the

healthy ones. And after the chemotherapy has destroyed so

many cells that the situation becomes life

threatening, they perform a bone marrow transplant, hoping

that the body will start to create new cells.

So king Hussein died of a death spiral initiated by the

chemotherapy. A simple cancer cannot even kill

you as fast as chemotherapy will. When I look at the fate of

king Hussein and of millions of cancer

patients world-wide, who submit themselves to chemotherapy, I

can only think of the words of German

poet h Kästner: " Never sink so low that you will even

drink the cacao they pull you through. "

Cancer diseases are part of the group of diseases in which

the software programme of the cell’s

metabolism in the cell nucleus is reprogrammed. In the case

of cancer this occurs through cell poisons

from the environment or from nutrition, in the case of

infectious diseases it is caused by

micro-organisms, e.g. viruses and bacteria.

Let us look at how cells spread through the body. In a

healthy body thousands of cells wander through

the connective tissues every second. Like a jungle expedition

these cells have to cut a path through the

thicket, which the connective tissue constructs of collagen

fibres and other tissue molecules. To create

a way through this, the cells secrete an enzyme that is

capable of solving the collagen momentarily,

enabling the cell to pass through the tissue. This is a

mechanism that is used, for instance, when a

white blood corpuscle leaves the bloodstream to get at an

infection site in the lungs. With the help of a

collagen-solving enzyme the blood vessel wall will open for a

moment, just wide enough for the cell to

pass through and move into the surrounding tissue.

The same mechanism is used by the egg cells in the female

body. Under the influence of hormones the

cells surrounding the ripening egg will produce large amounts

of collagen-solving enzyme. Not too much

but enough to enable the passing of the egg through the

connective tissue of the ovary in the middle of

the monthly cycle. After the egg cell has left the ovary the

little wound in the ovary’s wall closes again.

The egg moves through the Fallopian tube to the uterus and

four weeks later the whole thing starts all

over again.

Understanding the mechanism of cell movements in healthy

human beings is a precondition for the

understanding of how diseases spread in the body. Aggressive

diseases and infectious diseases use

the exact same mechanism to spread through the body. In other

words, these diseases outsmart the

body with its own weapons. Look at cancer. Due to toxic

substances in the environment or in nutrition a

liver cell is damaged to such an extent that the metabolism

in the cell nucleus is reprogrammed. For

cancer to develop, the liver cell needs to perform two

functions that are not part of its normal

programme. The first is the order for cell multiplication,

the second is the order for the constant

production of collagen-solving enzyme. This will enable the

newly formed cancer cell to move its way

through the body. Now you understand the forming of

metastases, subsidiary tumours: the cancer cells

cut their way into the blood vessel system and use the

bloodstream to reach other organs, ready to

create new tumours.

The same occurs with virus infections. The virus, e.g. a flu

virus, infects a host cell, e.g. a lung cell. The

metabolic software of this host cell is reprogrammed, so that

from then on it will keep producing new

viruses and at the same time the collagen-solving enzyme,

enabling the viruses to move through the

lung tissue. This is how an infection develops.

You will be wondering why I am telling you all this. Because

now Cellular Medicine has an answer to

these aggressive diseases. The natural amino acid lysine is

the natural counterpart of the

collagen-solving enzyme. A sufficiently high supply of this

amino acid through the diet or through a

nutritional supplement will quickly neutralise the

collagen-solving enzyme, slowing down or inhibiting the

spread of diseases. For the first time it has become possible

to fight cancer with something other than

chemotherapy, radiation therapy or radical operations, but

with a specific and natural form of therapy.

Will nutritional supplementation with lysine always lead to

the inhibition of cancer or virus diseases?

Certainly not, but it is the best natural way to reach a

purposive natural therapy and prevention for these

aggressive diseases.

If one wants to neutralise the collagen-solving enzymes in

the entire connective tissue of a body, would

micrograms or milligrams of lysine be sufficient? Off course

not. To have any effect on these aggressive

diseases a supplementation with grams of lysine is called

for.

You can compare this with a pair of scales. On one side of

the scales are the collagen-solving enzymes

and on the other the inhibition system, like the amino acid

lysine. In healthy people the scales will be in

balance. When the balance is lost, this is corrected

immediately and in a natural way, as we saw in the

example with the white blood cells or the egg cells. In the

case of a disease there is no such correction.

The collagen-solving enzymes, produced constantly and in

large amounts, will always keep the scales

off balance. To get the scales back in balance there is only

one way, to supply the lysine-inhibitors

through high dosage nutritional supplements.

For which diseases can this therapy principle be used

effectively? For several forms of cancer, such as

breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, stomach

cancer, cancer of the intestines, lung cancer,

skin cancer but also for other diseases, such as intestinal

infections like Colitis ulcerosa, Morbus

Crohn, rheumatoid diseases, blood vessel disorders and

several allergy diseases.

Summarising, it may be said that with the help of vitamin

therapy and Cellular Medicine nine out of ten

common diseases can be influenced positively and in a natural

way towards a possible healing process.

So, after this lecture will you go to your next-door

neighbour who has breast cancer, and say: " I know of

something that will cure you " ? Please do not do this. That

will not be serious. Tell you next-door

neighbour: " this is the best, natural thing you can do for

your body to slow down the development of

your disease and possibly even stop it " .

I come to the last part of my lecture. By this time many of

you will be wondering, why have we not heard

of this medical breakthrough before? If all this were true,

would it not be in all the papers and on the

news? As insolent as it sounds, the reason why you have not

heard of this before, is that in general you

cannot get a patent on natural therapies. During the entire

20th century there was no pharmaceutical

company that had any financial interest in clinical research

of vitamins. Compared to pharmaceutical

preparations the profit margin on vitamin preparations in

simply too small. What kind of profit is made on

pharmaceutical preparations? 10%? 20%? 100%? The profit that

Hoffmann-LaRoche makes on their

best seller Valium, for instance, is 1,100%!

This fact is the basis of all: as long as people do not

invest in vitamin research, the health value of

natural therapies cannot be established, neither through the

people nor through the media, not there

where it matters most, at the medical colleges. Generations

of young doctors leave the universities with

no or hardly any knowledge of vitamins and natural therapies.

As a direct result of the fact that vitamins

cannot be patented, millions of people died this century of

avoidable diseases.

There is a branch of industry among us that has the diseases

of the human body as its marketplace.

The pharmaceutical industry. The prevention, successful

causal treatment and eradication of diseases

will damage their business and is therefore unwanted. Like

other branches of industry the

pharmaceutical industry tries to secure its market, diseases

of the human body, and to expand it where

possible. And this explains why it is possible for the side

effects of pharmaceutical preparations to

become the fourth largest cause of death in the industrial

world. The pharmaceutical industry has

conceived and built the health systems of the industrial

countries, and will defend its interests at all

costs, even when this means the premature death of millions

of people.

The pharmaceutical industry exerts almost total control over

our health. This starts with medical

science. If you are a student of biochemistry today, who will

offer you the most lucrative jobs? The

pharmaceutical industry. When you are a medical student, what

do they call the therapy seminars at

the universities? Natural healing methods or homeopathy? Off

course not. All over the world these

classes are called pharmacology. In the course of the century

the therapy seminars at all the medical

universities were systematically made subject to the

pharmaceutical industry. At the end of the century

we can establish that medical studies in almost every country

have turned into training seminars of the

Pharma Cartel.

Did you know about this connection? Is it public knowledge?

Certainly not. The pharmaceutical industry

will do anything to convince us, with huge advertisement

campaigns, that they are interested in the

welfare of mankind and the battle with diseases. This is not

surprising, as this is the precondition for the

game to work. Only when you, the people, are ignorant of the

true interests of the pharmaceutical

industry, are you willing to play along and finance the game.

Unfortunately this is no game, it is deadly

serious and millions of people are paying for it with their

lives.

Who are at the top of the world-wide Pharma Cartel? The list

of leading export nations for

pharmaceutical products is headed by Germany, before the UK,

Switzerland, France and the United

States. The German chemical/pharmaceutical companies of

Hoechst, Bayer and BASF own subsidiary

companies in 150 countries in the world and form a global

cartel. Perhaps now you understand why this

cartel has decided to stand united to try and stop Dr. Rath

and Cellular Medicine. They set up their first

blockade in 1991 after the publication that cardiovascular

diseases are no unavoidable dire fate, but, like

the sailor’s disease scurvy, are caused by vitamin deficiency

and can therefore be prevented. Every year

the Pharma Cartel makes about half a billion DM just from

pharmaceutical preparations for

cardiovascular diseases. The information that these diseases

are a result from vitamin deficiency

threatened to collapse this world market. Almost ten years

now the Pharma Cartel has been fighting the

spread of this simple information with every means possible.

If it were up to the Pharma Cartel the world

would remain a disc, whereas we are doing all we can to turn

her into a globe.

In their fight against the spread of the truth the Pharma

Cartel already had to take several heavy defeats.

As a last desperate measure the Pharma Cartel has now started

to misuse the highest political

organisation in the world, the United Nations. Within the

framework of a so-called commission of

experts of the World Health Organisation the Pharma Cartel is

now preparing a world-wide ban on any

information on the health value of vitamins and other natural

therapies. This would be obligatory for all

member states of the UN, so world-wide. When these

man-despising enactments are passed, making

the claim that vitamin C heals the arterial wall will be

under pain of detention. A fact that has been

known for centuries, ever since the seafarers would drink

lemon juice to prevent scurvy. Everything you

heard and saw this evening, everything documented in my book,

would be banned. Say it anyway and

you will be committing a crime and can be punished for it. If

you find this hard to believe, look on the

Internet under the key word of " Codex Alimentarius " and read

what you find carefully.

Where does this " Codex Alimentarius " commission meet? In

Berlin, the new capital of Germany. By

order of the German Pharma Cartel the federal government has

taken over the political responsibility of

securing the interests of the global pharmaceutical markets.

The fact that millions of people will die if

health information on vitamins and natural therapies is

suppressed does not seem to worry these

people. Despite all the trouble German politics has gone

through to assure us that Germany will not be

responsible for the death of millions of people for a third

time this century, this is nevertheless exactly

what they are doing.

How do you explain the fact that the Pharma Cartel can hold

its meetings in a department of the

German ministry of health in Berlin, under the cover of the

" Codex Alimentarius " ? How do you explain

that this public body can operate under the alias of " federal

institute for consumer health protection " ?

How do you explain that they meet in a fortress, hidden

behind watchtowers and barbed wire? Ask

yourself, why would a public body that claims to protect the

health interests of the people hide itself

behind barbed wire? Good question. This is not about

protecting the health interests of the people,

because then the health information on vitamins and natural

therapies would be spread everywhere.

It is really about the exact opposite. It is about keeping a

global pharmaceutical market of superfluous,

expensive and damaging medications alive artificially, with

laws and regulations and behind barbed wire.

In September last year, we held a demonstration before and

during the Codex meeting. Many patients,

who had been helped by Cellular Medicine Formulae, attended.

We informed delegates of the Codex

Alimentarius commission of 44 countries about the true

interests behind this whole meeting. Several

delegates, especially those of developing countries but also

from New Zealand for instance, left the

meeting to congratulate us, as they fight against the same

interest groups within the Codex

Alimentarius.

The joint opposition to the Pharma Cartel’s Codex

Alimentarius plans has booked its first success: the

plans regarding an information ban on vitamins and natural

therapies were not adopted and had to be

postponed to the meetings of June 1999 in Geneva and February

2000 in Berlin. But the debate is far

from over. We are dealing with financially strong interest

groups who will use their power ruthlessly. In

the words of the chairman of the board of Bayer Leverkusen,

producer of Aspirin, Manfred Schneider, at

the onset of the Codex Alimentarius offensive in 1995:

" Governments will come and go, but Bayer will

always be there. " Mr. Schneider makes it very clear: you can

vote for whoever you want, but the

companies will still be in power.

Yet it is no longer that simple. The house of cards of the

Pharma Cartel’s apparent credibility is starting

to fall apart world-wide. Shortly after the Codex plans of

19?? had to be put on ice, the German

government under Helmut Kohl was voted out of office after

nearly 16 years. What exactly was Helmut

Kohl’s original profession? Before he became a politician he

was a pharmaceutical advisor. For ten

years, from 1959 till 1969, Helmut Kohl was a staff member of

the Chemical Industry Association, the

largest lobby-organisation of the German pharmaceutical

industry. The Pharma Cartel picked one of its

own and turned him into a politician. We are not talking

about party politics here, but about health

politics. It is about liberating the health system of every

country from the claws of the world-wide

Pharma Cartel and create a health policy that will finally

serve the interests of the people. This is a

global goal that goes beyond all political party boundaries.

Naturally we had hoped that under the new German government

the interests with the Pharma Cartel

would not be so tightly interwoven. But we were wrong. On

February 26th, 1999, the federal government

responds to a letter of one of our consultants: " On behalf of

the German Chancellor I thank you for your

letter. The federal government is familiar with the

activities of Dr. Rath. Dr. Rath claims that heart

infarctions and strokes are the result of chronic vitamin

deficiencies and can be prevented with high

dosage vitamin supplementation. " Now comes the shocking bit:

" The federal government is of the

opinion that the plans of the Codex Alimentarius Commission

regarding nutritional supplements

containing vitamins and minerals, is worth supporting. " They

could not have made it any clearer. The

new government has also chosen the side of the irresponsible

plans of the Pharma Cartel. It gets worse;

once again the German federal authorities serve as politburo

of the world-wide Pharma Cartel.

How did Berthold Brecht say it in Galileo Galilei: " Who does

not know the truth, is simply a fool. Yet

who knows the truth and calls it a lie, is a criminal. "

Absolutely, a criminal. Or would you not call it a

crime when millions of people suffer, because vital health

information on vitamins and natural therapies

is purposively withheld from them? Every year 12 million

people die, world-wide, of cardiovascular

diseases. An optimum care with vitamins could possibly

prevent 80%, 90% and perhaps one of these

days even 99% of these deaths. But this knowledge is

suppressed. If the Codex Alimentarius plans are

passed, this will mean that in the next generation many more

millions will die unnecessarily of the

results of arteriosclerosis and other common diseases. Those

responsible are committing crimes

against human rights. Regardless of whether those responsible

wear the black suits of politicians or the

white coats of doctors, whether they are on the board of the

pharmaceutical companies or in the

government, they will have to be held responsible before a

court of law.

The Codex Alimentarius Commission will next meet in June

1999, in Geneva. From the 9th till the 12th of

June the representatives of the Pharma Cartel will meet in

the Hotel Intercontinental in Berlin to

co-ordinate their despicable plans further. Like a wolf in

sheep’s clothing they have chosen

" self-medication " as a theme for this conference. It wants to

get everything cut and dried, so that the

facts will be in the bag for the next big Codex meeting in

Berlin in February 2000. We will prevent this.

The house of lies of the Pharma Cartel is crumbling apart

world-wide. Like vampires, these interest

groups fear the light of day. That is why the most successful

strategy against these groups is to tell the

world what their real interests are. This is where you can

help us. Expose the plans of the Pharma

Cartel by discussing them with friends, neighbours and

colleagues. But will this help? Off course it will.

Let me tell you the story of the United States, of how the

American people inflicted the largest defeat

upon the Pharma Cartel yet. Shortly after the publication of

my first scientific work, that heart infarctions

and strokes, like scurvy, are the result of vitamin

deficiency and therefore preventable, the Pharma

Cartel began to make trouble. They started an official

campaign in the United States between 1992 and

1994. Vitamins should only be available to people by doctor’s

prescription, instead of through health

stores, thereby making it impossible for almost everyone to

buy them. But the people of America

opposed this. Newsweek magazine wrote about the largest

popular movement since the Vietnam War.

In August 1994, under enormous pressure of millions of

people, US Congress came to the unanimous

decision of guaranteeing total vitamin freedom. The " dietary

supplement health and education act " of

August 1994 is of historic importance. What exactly does it

say? It establishes the following points:

vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids, as well

as other natural healing substances, will be

freely available to the people of the United States, also in

higher dosages. In other words, no

pharmaceutical preparations will be made using vitamins and

other natural substances, to force up the

prices and put them under the control of the Pharma Cartel.

Second point: the unlimited spread of

health claims regarding vitamins and natural therapies is

expressly permitted. A gigantic step forward.

Third point of this law: the onus of proof lies with the

government. It is up to the American government to

prove that vitamins can be hazardous to one’s health. So can

they? Off course not. You can find details

about this law on our Internet-site www.drrath.com.

I believe that whatever is possible in the United States, is

also possible in any other country on earth.

As German politics is acting difficult about following the US

Congress’ example, we of the health

network have come up with our own bill. This is what it says:

Let the German federal government decide:

" Truthful claims regarding the beneficial effects of vitamins

and other nutritional supplements will be

available to the people without any limitations. All laws and

regulations that oppose the spread of such

claims shall be made null and void. "

Will this be successful? Certainly. Although the Pharma

Cartel has created a politburo inside the

German government, there are more and more responsible

politicians who take the side of the people in

this vital issue. One of these is Prof. Ernst Ulrich von

Weizsäcker, a cousin of the former federal

President. He supports our enactment, as do several other

German politicians in the new government,

such as the current minister of justice, Herta

Däubler-Gmelin, who already wrote in September last year

that she supports the spread of natural therapies. Other MPs

followed their example.

I come to the end of my lecture and to the question what you

can do to help end these wrongs. The first

step is to think about this lecture, to read the books and

the background information. Form your own

picture of the situation and discuss this with others. Speak

to friends who also care about the spread of

this vitally important information and try to meet with your

MP. Talk to him or her. Bring it home to them

that no theme is as important as this one. Tell them this is

about our health and remind them of their

oath, to protect the people from harm. If they ask for more

information, give them one of my books or

some other source of information on vitamins. Explain to them

why animals do not get heart attacks. I

am certain they will not know that animals produce their own

vitamin C and thus stabilise their arterial

wall. There are no excuses left. Ask them to support our

bill, or a similar one, immediately. Ask them

urgently to force the government to end all co-operation with

the Codex Alimentarius Commission. This

applies not only to Germany, but to every other country as

well. We must stop the adoption of a

world-wide information ban on vitamins and natural therapies,

and through that keep the Pharma Cartel

from bringing the next generation of mankind under their

yoke.

Talk to your representative of the National Health Service or

health insurance company and ask for a

refund of the costs for Cellular Medicine Formulae. Many

German insurance companies have already

started compensating their clients. Explain to your insurance

company that it is in their own interest to

support vitamin research and Cellular Medicine. After all,

they have to use their clients’ money

responsibly. Following the Pharma Cartel blindly and placing

implicit trust in pharmaceutical

preparations, 98% of which are no good, is irresponsible from

the side of the insurers. On the other

hand, it would certainly be responsible to support therapies

that are effective, have no side effects and

are often cheaper too.

How did Brecht’s Galilei say it: " We have set things in

motion. We will yet see a time when we will not

have to look over our shoulder like a criminal when we say

that two and two is four. "

Finally the most important thing of all: our goal is to build

a new health care system in the interest of the

people. How can we reach that goal with all these blockades

of the pharmaceutical industry, politics

and orthodox medicine? We can reach this through our network

of nutritional consultants, which you

can join. This consultation network circumvents the blockades

at the top by passing on the vitally

important information mouth to mouth at the basis, from

person to person. It is no secret that many

thousands of people in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and

other European countries have joined our

consultation network. For many of these people these

activities have already become a lifework.

In the end our work is about the right to health and life.

Unfortunately, this is not something that goes

without saying. We live in an era in which 98% of

pharmaceutical preparations have no proven beneficial

effects, in which the pharmaceutical industry has created the

fourth largest cause of death herself, the

side effects of medication, with the sole purpose of creating

new markets for its products. The rights to

health and to life are far from being human rights. We, the

people of the world, have to fight for these

rights. No one will give them to us. I call upon you to join

us in this great task.

Lecture of Dr. Matthias Rath, M.D.

In Augsburg-Gersthofen March 1999

I would like to begin this lecture with the historic parallel

of the Italian physic Galileo Galilei. When

Galileo was born in 1564, the sun still turned around the

earth. When he died, in 1642, things were the

other way round. Now the earth turned around the sun. Did the

stars change their course during these

eighty years? Certainly not. What had changed was the way the

people of this little planet earth looked

at the universe, and understood the course of the stars and

the workings of this universe. That had

changed. So was this great universal conversion greeted

everywhere? Not only was it not greeted, but it

was fought against, to the death. They threatened to torture

Galileo Galilei if he did not recant his claim.

And Galileo died a heretic, banished by the church. Why?

Well, because this was not about the stars in

the sky, but about the fear of those who were in power of

losing the hold they had over people.

The earth is a disc and lies in the centre of the universe.

The stars in the heavens are attached to seven

crystal domes. The sun circles the earth and in the centre of

the earth is Rome. This was the point from

which the Roman Church ruled the entire earth and the

universe. Galileo was declared a heretic

because his knowledge shook the global positions of power of

these Roman interest groups to their

foundations.

My lecture today takes place in a suburb of Augsburg.

Augsburg is also the birthplace of German writer

Berthold Brecht. One of his most well-known plays is about

Galileo Galilei’s fight. When you have the

time, read this piece of world literature or see the play in

the theatre some time. Many of the quotes

also concern our case. For instance, Galileo says: " Who does

not know the truth, is simply a fool. Yet

who knows the truth and calls it a lie, is a criminal. " In

the course of this lecture we will meet such

people of our time. Politicians and business people who are

very much aware of the truth, but

nevertheless call it a lie and want to prohibit it.

But first the facts. It is less than a year ago that the AOK,

one of the biggest health insurance

companies in Germany, published the following article in

their periodical of April 1998: " According to the

German Ministry of Health there are some 24,000 medications

on the market of which no therapeutic

efficiency, so healing properties, have been proven. 24,000

medications, that is over 98% of all currently

marketed medicines. These are prescribed, sold and taken by

the millions but they have no proven

effect. Yet the National Health Service has to pay for them. "

The situation is no different in Holland,

Britain, France and other European countries.

A second fact you should remember is a notification by the

Journal of the American Medical

Association of April 15th, 1998: It was established by an

extensive study that the side effects of

medication are now the fourth largest cause of death in the

industrial world, after heart infarction, stroke

and cancer. According to data of the German Medical

Association of April 18th, 1998, each year 8.000

people in Germany die of the serious side effects of

medication and over 100,000 fall seriously ill. Let

me recap: only one thing has been proven of 98% of currently

world-wide available pharmaceutical

preparations: that the serious side effects of these pills

cause new diseases with epidemic proportions,

that are the fourth largest cause of death after heart

infarction, stroke and cancer.

Now I have told you everything you really need to know.

That’s it. Have a good night and goodbye.

I see you would like to hear a bit more. To hide their

irresponsible practices the pharmaceutical industry

and its accomplices create new medical jargon: there was an

article in the Munich Medical Journal of

February 25th, 1999, with the title " Multimorbidity and

Polypharmacy as cause of pathological

confusion. " Let me translate that for you. Multimorbidity,

that is when a person suffers from several

diseases at the same time. Polypharmacy, I had never heard of

it but it frightened the life out of me.

There is now a diagnostic term for diseases that are caused

by taking too much medication; " poly "

means much and " pharmacy " means pharmaceutical preparations.

In other words, when you take too

much medication you can get a disease that now has its own

diagnostic term: " polypharmacy " . The

crime is hidden behind a Greek pseudonym.

The following millionfold tragedy is characteristic of our

health system at the end of the twentieth

century: people get insufficient vitamins, enabling a number

of chronic diseases to develop. They are

then given medication, which, at best, will diminish the

symptoms, but will most of all create new,

serious diseases. And then scientific articles are written

about " multimorbidity in case of polypharmacy "

and these are published in medical periodicals. The Munich

Medical Journal is no city newspaper but

one of the largest medical journals in Europe.

I like to stick to the facts. That is why I will give you

some numbers of the Wiesbaden Institute of

Statistics, on causes of death in our time: over half the

number of deaths are caused by heart

infarctions and strokes. Second largest cause of death is

cancer, followed by lung diseases,

gastrointestinal diseases, accidents, etc. What is not

mentioned in this official chart is the fourth largest

cause of death: polypharmacy – death caused by dangerous side

effects of largely ineffective

medication.

We not only wish to expose the unbearable wrongs, but would

most of all like to offer alternatives.

Those who have read my book " Why animals don’t get heart

attacks – but people do " will be aware of

the progresses made by Cellular Medicine in the fight against

heart infarctions and other common

diseases. For those unfamiliar with the book I will give a

short introduction: what is Cellular Medicine?

Diseases in our bodies originate in the cells. So the first

basic rule is, health and disease of the body

are decided on the level of the millions of body cells that

constitute our organs. The second basic rule, a

chronic lack of vitamins and other bio-energy factors is the

most common cause of cell malfunction and

therefore of diseases. Third rule, cardiovascular problems

are by far the most common diseases

because the cells of the heart muscle and the arterial walls

haven an especially high consumption of

bio-energy, because of the constant mechanical functioning of

heartbeat and pulse. All this is obvious;

the heart is the engine of the body. You can compare this to

the engine in your car, which constantly

needs gasoline and oil. Finally the fourth fundamental rule

of Cellular Medicine, an optimum daily care

with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, trace elements is the

key to the prevention of cardiovascular

problems and many other diseases. The key word is: bio-fuel

for the cells. The most important bio-fuel

substances known to science today, that can be taken in

through food or nutritional supplements, are

vitamins, minerals, amino acids, trace elements. The

foundations of Cellular Medicine are that simple.

Do you understand?

I have brought you something tonight, our new book " Good

health is possible! " As opposed to my first

book, this book was written by the patients themselves. We

just summarised it and are now passing on

their experiences to you. Read it, form your own picture of

it. At the end of the book I have written the

following comment on the effects of these testimonials on the

reader: when you have reached this part

of the book there are only two possibilities left. The first

is to say, this Dr. Rath made it all up. Or, you

will have been convinced by these testimonials, in which case

the inevitable question will be: " Why

haven’t I heard of this before? " And I will answer this

question for you.

First of all it is important to understand that " Good health

is possible! " is not just the title of the book, it

is a reality. When you have read the book you will agree with

me that this is the beginning of a new era

in which we no longer need to fear many of the common

diseases. We can control them. Finally, " Good

health is possible! " is comprehensible for everyone because

the patients themselves are speaking. This

is also important for our success; to explain the results we

have made in an understandable way.

There is an historical parallel for this as well. In Brecht’s

play Galilei the Inquisitor General says: " This

evil man knows very well what he is doing when he writes down

his theories in the language of the

peddlers and fishmongers, instead of in Latin. " In those days

it was already recognised how dangerous

it would be if common people would understand those things

that only a select group should know of.

When the people have the knowledge, they can no longer be

fooled. They can no longer be sucked dry.

They will refuse to play the game any longer. This is why you

will find all our information material written

in a language everyone can understand.

I had planned to given you an overview of the results made by

Cellular Medicine. However, I do not have

the time to go into details. I will have to ask you to read

the books and the background information

carefully. I would now like to discuss with you

cardiovascular diseases, then in the second part virus

and cancer diseases and finally I will tell you about the

forces that block this medical breakthrough and

consciously put the health and lives of millions of people on

the line.

The first big breakthrough of Cellular Medicine was in the

fight against arteriosclerosis, the cause of

heart infarctions and strokes. Today over five hundred

million people world-wide suffer from

arteriosclerosis and the disease keeps spreading. So you tell

me, how can a disease keep on

spreading? Because contemporary medical science does not

recognise the true causes, or refuses to

recognise them. This is why to date orthodox medicine does

not know of an effective, preventive

therapy. The only thing modern medicine does is cure the

symptoms and repair the blocking of the

arteries mechanically. They give you a bypass. What does that

mean? It means that they work around

the problem, instead of tackling it at the roots. Or the

other mechanical reparation method,

percutaneous angioplasty. The depositions in the coronary

arteries are pushed flat against the artery’s

inner wall by a balloon that is blown up under high pressure.

Mechanical plumbing, while the doctors are

well aware that this does not treat the cause of the problem.

So what is the cause? A vitamin shortage in the cells of the

arterial wall. These cells move with every

heartbeat, meaning that the wall is stretched out seventy,

eighty times a minute. And so it is obvious

that these cells have a high consumption of bio-fuel,

especially vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene,

lysine, proline and amino acids. If you supply the cells of

the arterial wall with this bio-fuel, the arterial

wall will stabilise and you will prevent damage and the

resulting depositions.

Moreover, they can repair an already existing disease. A

utopian dream? No. those of you who have

read my book will know that we have conducted a research to

prove this directly with images of the

arterial walls. The Ultrafast Computer Tomogram, also known

as a mammogram of the heart, is a

diagnostic technique that was developed recently in the USA.

We were the first to use it for research

purposes. With the help of this Ultrafast Computer Tomogram

you can sort of look into the heart from

the outside and measure the depositions in the coronary

arteries with pictures that are taken within

milliseconds. Our research involved patients who already had

a cardiovascular disease and would

therefore have depositions in the coronary arteries. I am not

going into this whole research. You can find

it documented completely in my book " Why animals don’t get

heart attacks. "

I would now like to show you one of the impressive pictures

we came across during this research. On

the left side you can see a heart, a cross section of one

side of the heart. This white spot, which is

enlarged here, shows depositions in the left coronary artery.

On the right the same patient, the same

part of the heart, a picture of the coronary artery after one

year of taking the vitamin programme. The

depositions have disappeared, completely. Did this man have a

bypass operation? Did they push the

depositions away with angioplasty? No, the cells of the

arterial walls were supplied with vitamins and

other bio-fuel substances, and all of a sudden they could

function normally again.

The disappearance of the depositions as we see it in this

picture has never before been possible with

any medication or with any kind of therapy, diet or other

measure. For the first time in the history of

medicine, with the help of vitamins. Does that surprise us?

Certainly not. What other way could there

be? Even the sailors, when they did not get any vitamins,

especially vitamin C, died of what? Of scurvy.

The arterial wall has weakened and starts to tear, the

sailors bled to death. So five hundred years ago

the connection between a vitamin shortage and damage to the

arteries was already clear. And still I

have to stand here, before inquisitive people like you who

are now wondering why you never hear about

this on the evening news.

About a year ago, in April 1998, a German television

programme had a feature about our work. They

broadcast an interview with Lew Meyer, one of our research

patients, whose depositions had

disappeared completely with the help of our vitamin

programme. Before the cameras Lew Meyer said:

" You know, after one year I came for my check-up and the

researchers did not believe what they saw on

the x-rays. This had never happened, that depositions that

had been clearly visible before had simply

vanished. They asked me to come back the next day, as they

thought it was a technical error. But the

results were the same. Now everyone believed it. "

But Mr. Meyer’s case is not unique. On page 47 in " Good

health in possible! " you will find the following

testimonial of a cardiac patient on our vitamin programme:

" Already after four weeks my general

condition had improved. For the check-up I had an angioplasty

examination. The diagnosis was that

since the start of the vitamin programme the depositions in

the coronary arteries are diminishing. " The

patient sent us his x-rays as proof of the results. Reality.

And from this moment on all cardiac patients

can make use of this knowledge.

The second common disease that has spread world-wide is high

blood pressure disease. This disease

also keeps on spreading. Why? Because that is what they want,

the people who make billions on this

disease. This is probably the reason why medical science does

not want to know the causes, ways of

prevention and methods of treatment of this disease. Let me

describe a scene to you that takes place in

doctors’ offices around the globe every day. Some of you will

recognise themselves as the victims: your

face has turned red, you feel a slight pressure on your chest

and you go to your GP. He measures your

blood pressure and says, " dear mister so-and-so, you have

high blood pressure, but not to worry, I will

prescribe you something. " He gives you a prescription and you

go back home. At home your wife is all

excited and asks, " Well, what did the doctor say? " And

proudly you reply: " I have essential

hypertension. This guy is good; no one has described it this

precise before. " Unfortunately, neither you

nor your wife know what " essential " means in this case.

Before I give you the answer, let us see what

medical textbooks have to say about the causes of high blood

pressure: " in 90% of the cases the cause

of high blood pressure is unknown, " it says. And your GP

knows this too, who gave you the

prescription.

What does " essential hypertension " mean? " Hypertension " you

can look up in the dictionary, it means

high blood pressure. " Essential " you will have to look up in

the dictionary of secret language. It means:

" we don’t know where it came from. " So you have a " we don’t

know what causes it high blood pressure "

disease. And only the doctor knows this. And you think, " gee,

what an excellent diagnosis, this is such

a good doctor, I’ll go and see him again " . You understand how

the game is played?

But then what is the true cause of high blood pressure? In

90% of the cases the cause of high blood

pressure is a lack of vitamins in the arterial walls,

especially of vitamin C, but also of the amino acid

arginine, magnesium and co-enzyme Q10. When the artery wall,

which consists of muscle cells, has an

insufficient supply of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, it

starts to contract. When the circular shaped

muscles of the blood vessels contract, what happens to the

diameter? It gets smaller, and what about

the pressure? It rises. There, you now understand the cause

of high blood pressure. A plumber, working

with drainage systems every day, understands the cause of

high blood pressure instantly – without a

white coat.

But you take your doctor’s prescription to the chemist’s and

get your medication: a beta-blocker. What

does a beta-blocker do? It has no effect on the site of the

actual problem, the tension of the blood

vessels. Instead it affects a spot that has nothing to do

with the problem: the heart muscle. A

beta-blocker decreases the heart frequency, the number of

beats of the heart pump. Instead of relaxing

the arterial walls and tackling the problem at the roots,

this medicine lowers your heart frequency to

lower the pressure. And what happens to the patients? The

circulation is turned down, especially in the

brain, to such a point that many patients fall over after

taking their beta-blocker. In elderly patients

especially we find that dizziness and fainting are the most

common side effects.

You understand how the principle works? People do not want to

know what the cause is. And they do

not tell you that they do not know. They make up a pseudonym

to hide the fact that they do not know,

" essential hypertension " . They prescribe a medication that

consciously avoids to deal with the real

problem on the spot where it originates. They give you

pharmaceutical pills that affect a totally different

area. This way they can be sure that the high blood pressure

disease will continue to exist. Why do

such a thing? To keep a billion pound market in

pharmaceutical preparations for high blood pressure

disease alive and kicking, and to expand it.

What do you think of this letter from a patient with high

blood pressure, from the book " Good health is

possible! " : I have suffered from hypertension for 20 years.

Four months ago I started on you Cellular

Medicine Formulae. After only four weeks the blood pressure

went down. You can see the positive

development for yourself on the enclosed diagram. " The

patient has enclosed his blood pressure results

over the past four months. At the beginning of July the

first, systolic pressure was at 200; in September,

two months later, it was at 150. The patient also mentions:

" My doctor has confirmed the improvement

and has taken me off the blood pressure pills. "

This is a leitmotiv is all the testimonials in this book.

People start taking our vitamin programme, and

their condition improves. They are taken off the medication

that was prescribed to them, and their

condition improves even more. So what does that tell us? It

shows us that the medication itself had

become a problem for the health of these patients. But I have

to make it very clear: never stop taking

your medication, whether it is against high blood pressure,

or anti-arrhythmia pills or some other

medication. Go to you doctor and say, I feel better, I would

like you to examine me. Measure my blood

pressure, check the ECG. A responsible doctor will do this

and will reduce your medication accordingly.

The last disease in which Cellular Medicine has made a

breakthrough is heart insufficiency. One of the

most tragic diseases, and with a very bad prognosis. When you

are diagnosed with heart insufficiency

today, you will have a 50% chance to still be alive in five

years time. In other words, one in two heart

insufficiency patients will die within five years. This

disease also keeps on spreading world-wide. And

again the main cause is that orthodox medicine does not know

or want to know the causes, does not

know of a preventive therapy, and does not know of a healing

therapy. It is therefore not surprising that

orthodox medicine came up with heart transplants as the

therapy for heart weakness. This is nothing

else but the bankruptcy of medicine – you do not know what

else to do, so you just replace the entire

organ. But this brutal therapy will only do you good if you

are lucky and they find you a suitable donor

heart. In 95% of these cases the patients die a slow and

terrible death.

Every day, in every country on earth, it is the same tragedy.

All of a sudden you cannot climb the stairs

anymore. Up until now you could walk up to your son or

daughter on the fourth floor without having to

stop underway, but now you cannot do that. You reach the

second floor with breathing difficulties and

have to halt to get your breath back. In the evenings your

legs are swollen as fluid accumulates in the

tissues. You see the doctor and he tells you you have heart

weakness. You get a prescription, a

diuretic drug, and the doctor tells you that when you take

this you will feel better.

You go home, the wife asks what the doctor said. You pull out

the prescription and say: " I have an

idiopathic cardiomyopathy. This must be a very good doctor,

when he can make such exact

diagnoses. " Again you are mistaken. You can look up

" cardiomyopathy " in the dictionary: " cardio " is

heart, " myo " is muscle and " pathy " is disease. So you have a

disease of the heart muscle. The word

" idiopathic " you have to look up in the secret languages

dictionary again. It means " we do not know

what causes it " . This time it is in Greek. You cannot always

use the word " essential " , people are going

to notice.

You find this funny? I know that there are doctors among this

audience of 800 tonight. Feel free to

speak up and correct me in this. (pause)

I see no one who contradicts me. And it is true: the only

ones who know how this game is played, apart

from the pharmaceutical industry, are the physicians. Only

they do not talk about it.

So what is the cause of heart insufficiency? The cause of

this common disease is so simple that I can

explain it to you in 20 seconds. The heart pumps 80 beats a

minute, so the heart muscle cells contract

80 times a minute. Every time they contract, the cells use up

bio-fuel, like the engine of your car needs

energy in the form of gasoline. If the bio-energy for the

heart muscle cells is insufficiently supplied in the

form of vitamins and other bio-fuel, they will only perform

half as good as normal. This is the cause of

heart weakness. Do you understand it? And this was only 15

seconds.

Let us go back to our example. You go to the chemist’s and

get your medication, the diuretics. These

will cause the body to excrete the fluids. But what else will

be excreted? Everything that can be solved

in these fluids, especially water-soluble vitamins, minerals,

amino acids and other bio-fuel. This will only

add to the basic cause of the heart weakness, the lack of

vitamins. And now you understand why five

years after the disease is diagnosed only half the patients

are still alive – the other half was killed by an

insufficient therapy. Naturally, heart weakness patients who

have fluids accumulating in the tissues

should take diuretics for a certain period of time. But at

the same time the main cause of the disease

should be tackled: the shortage of vitamins and bio-fuel in

the heart muscle cells. Let me make it

perfectly clear: any doctor who only prescribes a heart

insufficiency patient diuretics without pointing out

that the patient will need nutritional supplements daily,

commits professional misconduct!

Two weeks ago, at the end of a lecture, a woman came up to

me, shook my hand and gave me a letter.

This is what it said: " Since the beginning of the sixties I

have suffered from a very high blood pressure

and from heart weakness. The accumulation of water and the

breathlessness are especially exhausting.

I also suffer from limited vision and can only see things

that are straight in front of me. I get a

disablement benefit. In November 1998 I started taking your

Cellular Medicine formulae. Now I have a

normal vision. I have no more headaches or pains in my legs,

so I no longer need support stockings.

And I can sleep lying down in my bed, instead of having to

sleep sitting up because of the

breathlessness. " What does this lady mean? When patients with

heart weakness lie down at night,

their lungs fill up with fluids. To be able to breathe at all

they have to sit up in bed, and will fall asleep

eventually from exhaustion. With the help of Cellular

Medicine this woman can sleep normally again.

This patient herself describes it as a miracle. But it is not

a miracle, these are scientific facts. When

you walk out of here tonight and say, that Dr. Rath is a

medical miracle worker, then you have not

understood what we are talking about. The health successes of

these patients and the progresses of

Cellular Medicine are applied science and logical thinking.

Everyone can understand Cellular Medicine

and everyone can apply it.

This patient’s letter ends with the words: " I know that many

people doubt the authenticity of these

testimonials, as no addresses or telephone numbers are

mentioned, so I hereby permit you to publish

my telephone number. "

Another impressive example is that of , a patient from

Memphis, Tennessee. used to be a

flight attendant. When she was 21 she suddenly became very

ill and an acute heart muscle weakness

was diagnosed. She had her first heart transplant. Four years

later, as she was 25, the second heart

was already so weak that the doctors advised a second

transplant. So at age 25 she was to get her

third heart. Then accidentally got her hands on my book

" Why animals don’t get heart attacks "

and she started taking the vitamin preparations. After a few

months her condition had improved to such

an extent that the heart transplant could be cancelled.

Together with I held a lecture in a hospital

in Memphis. She told her story. The people that were there,

including the doctors wept openly. Those

were tears of joy for , but also an expression of sadness

regarding a medical science that is kept in

a dead end street by the pharmaceutical industry.

Another common disease in which Cellular Medicine made a

decisive breakthrough is arrhythmia. This

disease, likewise, keeps spreading across the globe as

orthodox medicine does not know the causes,

does not want to know them and has no ways to prevent this

disease or treat it causally. What is the

main cause of arrhythmia? Let us ask first, how does the

heart keep on beating? Where does the

electricity in the heart come from? Do you lie in bed at

night and say " beat, beat, beat " ? I do not think

so. Is there an electric battery built into the heart, like a

flashlight? No, I doubt that. So where does the

electricity for 100,000 heartbeats a day originate? It comes

from the cells, the heart muscle cells, that

have the unique capability to produce electricity. Every

child knows electricity has something to do with

energy. And there you have the cause of arrhythmia: a lack of

vitamins and other bio-fuel in those cells

of the heart that are responsible for the electric impulse of

the heartbeat. And there is an abundance of

evidence for this in the form of clinical studies and patient

testimonials. For instance, one patient tells

us: " I am 64 years old and have suffered from arrhythmia for

12 years. I have been taking the Cellular

Medicine formulae since March 1st last year. After some three

months I noticed that the arrhythmic

disturbances occurred much less frequent than before. After

eight months the arrhythmia was gone

completely and my blood pressure was down to an average 150

over 90. My doctor took me off one

medication after the other.

These are the facts, but what does orthodox medicine do? It

tries to fight these common diseases with

methods that we can only shake our heads at. One is the

prescription of a medication that can cause

cardiac arrest as a side effect. The American journalist

has published that more people

have died of a cardiac arrest as a side effect than in the

Vietnam War. A further, rather brutal method of

orthodox medicine to battle arrhythmia is shutting down the

electric interference centres in the heart

with a wire that is pushed inside the heart through a

catheter. It is with this disease as it is with the

others; millions of people are misled with an unclear

diagnostic term: paroxysmal arrhythmia. Again, the

word paroxysmal simply means " we have no idea what causes

it. "

My advice to all arrhythmia patients is clear: never stop

taking your medication without the express

permission of your doctor. Begin taking a vitamin programme

as quickly as possible, preferably our

researched Cellular Medicine Formulae. Take this next to the

medication prescribed by your physician.

When you feel better after one or two months, as is generally

the case, ask your doctor for a check-up

ECG. A responsible doctor will reduce or stop the arrhythmia

medication after the second check-up at

the latest.

A final example regarding common cardiovascular diseases is

the blood sugar disease or diabetes. The

diabetes epidemic is spreading world-wide. Here orthodox

medicine only treats the symptoms, it lowers

the blood sugar level. Yet every doctor knows that even in

case of an average blood sugar level the risk

of cardiovascular diseases is still high, as the arterial

walls thicken and weaken. The resulting

circulatory problems are especially problematic for

diabetics, as nobody knows which organ will be hit

first by this blocking of the arteries. In the brain,

infarctions lead to strokes, in the eyes to blindness, in

the kidneys to kidney failure with resulting dialysis and

infarctions in the legs lead to dying off, making

amputation necessary. The most common form of diabetes is

adult or type II diabetes.

Even today orthodox medicine refuses to acknowledge that this

disease may have a genetic basis but

that the decisive trigger mechanism, which lets the genetic

tendency turn into a disease, is a long-term

lack of vitamins. When you have a sufficient supply of

vitamins, especially vitamins C and E, and trace

elements, the genetic predisposition will lead to the disease

much less frequent. The disease will not

develop at all or in a weakened form only. Here we also get a

clear message from clinical studies and

patient testimonials. One of the patients, who tackled her

disease with the Cellular Medicine Formulae,

wrote us the following letter: " I am 75 years old. I mostly

suffer from circulation problems in the legs. I

have been taking your formulae for four weeks and have

noticed that the circulation in my legs has

improved and that my blood sugar level has sunk to 100 up to

113 mg/dl. My doctor was speechless as

he saw this improvement, especially because we had already

been discussing the amputation of both

my legs. " Now, why would a physician be speechless? Because

he understands, all of a sudden, that

with the help of Cellular Medicine therapeutic successes are

possible that will outshine orthodox

medicine.

The second, large group of diseases that I would like to

discuss tonight are forms of cancer and other

aggressive diseases. Due to the failure of orthodox medicine

these diseases also keep spreading. A

recent and very impressive example is the case of the Jordan

king Hussein. What did he die of?

Cancer? No! King Hussein died of the prescribed therapy

against the cancer. What is the result of

chemotherapy, which was prescribed to him? The doctors tell

him the chemotherapy kills the cancer

cells in his body, so the bad cells. What they do not tell

him is that it will also kill the other cells, the

healthy ones. And after the chemotherapy has destroyed so

many cells that the situation becomes life

threatening, they perform a bone marrow transplant, hoping

that the body will start to create new cells.

So king Hussein died of a death spiral initiated by the

chemotherapy. A simple cancer cannot even kill

you as fast as chemotherapy will. When I look at the fate of

king Hussein and of millions of cancer

patients world-wide, who submit themselves to chemotherapy, I

can only think of the words of German

poet h Kästner: " Never sink so low that you will even

drink the cacao they pull you through. "

Cancer diseases are part of the group of diseases in which

the software programme of the cell’s

metabolism in the cell nucleus is reprogrammed. In the case

of cancer this occurs through cell poisons

from the environment or from nutrition, in the case of

infectious diseases it is caused by

micro-organisms, e.g. viruses and bacteria.

Let us look at how cells spread through the body. In a

healthy body thousands of cells wander through

the connective tissues every second. Like a jungle expedition

these cells have to cut a path through the

thicket, which the connective tissue constructs of collagen

fibres and other tissue molecules. To create

a way through this, the cells secrete an enzyme that is

capable of solving the collagen momentarily,

enabling the cell to pass through the tissue. This is a

mechanism that is used, for instance, when a

white blood corpuscle leaves the bloodstream to get at an

infection site in the lungs. With the help of a

collagen-solving enzyme the blood vessel wall will open for a

moment, just wide enough for the cell to

pass through and move into the surrounding tissue.

The same mechanism is used by the egg cells in the female

body. Under the influence of hormones the

cells surrounding the ripening egg will produce large amounts

of collagen-solving enzyme. Not too much

but enough to enable the passing of the egg through the

connective tissue of the ovary in the middle of

the monthly cycle. After the egg cell has left the ovary the

little wound in the ovary’s wall closes again.

The egg moves through the Fallopian tube to the uterus and

four weeks later the whole thing starts all

over again.

Understanding the mechanism of cell movements in healthy

human beings is a precondition for the

understanding of how diseases spread in the body. Aggressive

diseases and infectious diseases use

the exact same mechanism to spread through the body. In other

words, these diseases outsmart the

body with its own weapons. Look at cancer. Due to toxic

substances in the environment or in nutrition a

liver cell is damaged to such an extent that the metabolism

in the cell nucleus is reprogrammed. For

cancer to develop, the liver cell needs to perform two

functions that are not part of its normal

programme. The first is the order for cell multiplication,

the second is the order for the constant

production of collagen-solving enzyme. This will enable the

newly formed cancer cell to move its way

through the body. Now you understand the forming of

metastases, subsidiary tumours: the cancer cells

cut their way into the blood vessel system and use the

bloodstream to reach other organs, ready to

create new tumours.

The same occurs with virus infections. The virus, e.g. a flu

virus, infects a host cell, e.g. a lung cell. The

metabolic software of this host cell is reprogrammed, so that

from then on it will keep producing new

viruses and at the same time the collagen-solving enzyme,

enabling the viruses to move through the

lung tissue. This is how an infection develops.

You will be wondering why I am telling you all this. Because

now Cellular Medicine has an answer to

these aggressive diseases. The natural amino acid lysine is

the natural counterpart of the

collagen-solving enzyme. A sufficiently high supply of this

amino acid through the diet or through a

nutritional supplement will quickly neutralise the

collagen-solving enzyme, slowing down or inhibiting the

spread of diseases. For the first time it has become possible

to fight cancer with something other than

chemotherapy, radiation therapy or radical operations, but

with a specific and natural form of therapy.

Will nutritional supplementation with lysine always lead to

the inhibition of cancer or virus diseases?

Certainly not, but it is the best natural way to reach a

purposive natural therapy and prevention for these

aggressive diseases.

If one wants to neutralise the collagen-solving enzymes in

the entire connective tissue of a body, would

micrograms or milligrams of lysine be sufficient? Off course

not. To have any effect on these aggressive

diseases a supplementation with grams of lysine is called

for.

You can compare this with a pair of scales. On one side of

the scales are the collagen-solving enzymes

and on the other the inhibition system, like the amino acid

lysine. In healthy people the scales will be in

balance. When the balance is lost, this is corrected

immediately and in a natural way, as we saw in the

example with the white blood cells or the egg cells. In the

case of a disease there is no such correction.

The collagen-solving enzymes, produced constantly and in

large amounts, will always keep the scales

off balance. To get the scales back in balance there is only

one way, to supply the lysine-inhibitors

through high dosage nutritional supplements.

For which diseases can this therapy principle be used

effectively? For several forms of cancer, such as

breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, stomach

cancer, cancer of the intestines, lung cancer,

skin cancer but also for other diseases, such as intestinal

infections like Colitis ulcerosa, Morbus

Crohn, rheumatoid diseases, blood vessel disorders and

several allergy diseases.

Summarising, it may be said that with the help of vitamin

therapy and Cellular Medicine nine out of ten

common diseases can be influenced positively and in a natural

way towards a possible healing process.

So, after this lecture will you go to your next-door

neighbour who has breast cancer, and say: " I know of

something that will cure you " ? Please do not do this. That

will not be serious. Tell you next-door

neighbour: " this is the best, natural thing you can do for

your body to slow down the development of

your disease and possibly even stop it " .

I come to the last part of my lecture. By this time many of

you will be wondering, why have we not heard

of this medical breakthrough before? If all this were true,

would it not be in all the papers and on the

news? As insolent as it sounds, the reason why you have not

heard of this before, is that in general you

cannot get a patent on natural therapies. During the entire

20th century there was no pharmaceutical

company that had any financial interest in clinical research

of vitamins. Compared to pharmaceutical

preparations the profit margin on vitamin preparations in

simply too small. What kind of profit is made on

pharmaceutical preparations? 10%? 20%? 100%? The profit that

Hoffmann-LaRoche makes on their

best seller Valium, for instance, is 1,100%!

This fact is the basis of all: as long as people do not

invest in vitamin research, the health value of

natural therapies cannot be established, neither through the

people nor through the media, not there

where it matters most, at the medical colleges. Generations

of young doctors leave the universities with

no or hardly any knowledge of vitamins and natural therapies.

As a direct result of the fact that vitamins

cannot be patented, millions of people died this century of

avoidable diseases.

There is a branch of industry among us that has the diseases

of the human body as its marketplace.

The pharmaceutical industry. The prevention, successful

causal treatment and eradication of diseases

will damage their business and is therefore unwanted. Like

other branches of industry the

pharmaceutical industry tries to secure its market, diseases

of the human body, and to expand it where

possible. And this explains why it is possible for the side

effects of pharmaceutical preparations to

become the fourth largest cause of death in the industrial

world. The pharmaceutical industry has

conceived and built the health systems of the industrial

countries, and will defend its interests at all

costs, even when this means the premature death of millions

of people.

The pharmaceutical industry exerts almost total control over

our health. This starts with medical

science. If you are a student of biochemistry today, who will

offer you the most lucrative jobs? The

pharmaceutical industry. When you are a medical student, what

do they call the therapy seminars at

the universities? Natural healing methods or homeopathy? Off

course not. All over the world these

classes are called pharmacology. In the course of the century

the therapy seminars at all the medical

universities were systematically made subject to the

pharmaceutical industry. At the end of the century

we can establish that medical studies in almost every country

have turned into training seminars of the

Pharma Cartel.

Did you know about this connection? Is it public knowledge?

Certainly not. The pharmaceutical industry

will do anything to convince us, with huge advertisement

campaigns, that they are interested in the

welfare of mankind and the battle with diseases. This is not

surprising, as this is the precondition for the

game to work. Only when you, the people, are ignorant of the

true interests of the pharmaceutical

industry, are you willing to play along and finance the game.

Unfortunately this is no game, it is deadly

serious and millions of people are paying for it with their

lives.

Who are at the top of the world-wide Pharma Cartel? The list

of leading export nations for

pharmaceutical products is headed by Germany, before the UK,

Switzerland, France and the United

States. The German chemical/pharmaceutical companies of

Hoechst, Bayer and BASF own subsidiary

companies in 150 countries in the world and form a global

cartel. Perhaps now you understand why this

cartel has decided to stand united to try and stop Dr. Rath

and Cellular Medicine. They set up their first

blockade in 1991 after the publication that cardiovascular

diseases are no unavoidable dire fate, but, like

the sailor’s disease scurvy, are caused by vitamin deficiency

and can therefore be prevented. Every year

the Pharma Cartel makes about half a billion DM just from

pharmaceutical preparations for

cardiovascular diseases. The information that these diseases

are a result from vitamin deficiency

threatened to collapse this world market. Almost ten years

now the Pharma Cartel has been fighting the

spread of this simple information with every means possible.

If it were up to the Pharma Cartel the world

would remain a disc, whereas we are doing all we can to turn

her into a globe.

In their fight against the spread of the truth the Pharma

Cartel already had to take several heavy defeats.

As a last desperate measure the Pharma Cartel has now started

to misuse the highest political

organisation in the world, the United Nations. Within the

framework of a so-called commission of

experts of the World Health Organisation the Pharma Cartel is

now preparing a world-wide ban on any

information on the health value of vitamins and other natural

therapies. This would be obligatory for all

member states of the UN, so world-wide. When these

man-despising enactments are passed, making

the claim that vitamin C heals the arterial wall will be

under pain of detention. A fact that has been

known for centuries, ever since the seafarers would drink

lemon juice to prevent scurvy. Everything you

heard and saw this evening, everything documented in my book,

would be banned. Say it anyway and

you will be committing a crime and can be punished for it. If

you find this hard to believe, look on the

Internet under the key word of " Codex Alimentarius " and read

what you find carefully.

Where does this " Codex Alimentarius " commission meet? In

Berlin, the new capital of Germany. By

order of the German Pharma Cartel the federal government has

taken over the political responsibility of

securing the interests of the global pharmaceutical markets.

The fact that millions of people will die if

health information on vitamins and natural therapies is

suppressed does not seem to worry these

people. Despite all the trouble German politics has gone

through to assure us that Germany will not be

responsible for the death of millions of people for a third

time this century, this is nevertheless exactly

what they are doing.

How do you explain the fact that the Pharma Cartel can hold

its meetings in a department of the

German ministry of health in Berlin, under the cover of the

" Codex Alimentarius " ? How do you explain

that this public body can operate under the alias of " federal

institute for consumer health protection " ?

How do you explain that they meet in a fortress, hidden

behind watchtowers and barbed wire? Ask

yourself, why would a public body that claims to protect the

health interests of the people hide itself

behind barbed wire? Good question. This is not about

protecting the health interests of the people,

because then the health information on vitamins and natural

therapies would be spread everywhere.

It is really about the exact opposite. It is about keeping a

global pharmaceutical market of superfluous,

expensive and damaging medications alive artificially, with

laws and regulations and behind barbed wire.

In September last year, we held a demonstration before and

during the Codex meeting. Many patients,

who had been helped by Cellular Medicine Formulae, attended.

We informed delegates of the Codex

Alimentarius commission of 44 countries about the true

interests behind this whole meeting. Several

delegates, especially those of developing countries but also

from New Zealand for instance, left the

meeting to congratulate us, as they fight against the same

interest groups within the Codex

Alimentarius.

The joint opposition to the Pharma Cartel’s Codex

Alimentarius plans has booked its first success: the

plans regarding an information ban on vitamins and natural

therapies were not adopted and had to be

postponed to the meetings of June 1999 in Geneva and February

2000 in Berlin. But the debate is far

from over. We are dealing with financially strong interest

groups who will use their power ruthlessly. In

the words of the chairman of the board of Bayer Leverkusen,

producer of Aspirin, Manfred Schneider, at

the onset of the Codex Alimentarius offensive in 1995:

" Governments will come and go, but Bayer will

always be there. " Mr. Schneider makes it very clear: you can

vote for whoever you want, but the

companies will still be in power.

Yet it is no longer that simple. The house of cards of the

Pharma Cartel’s apparent credibility is starting

to fall apart world-wide. Shortly after the Codex plans of

19?? had to be put on ice, the German

government under Helmut Kohl was voted out of office after

nearly 16 years. What exactly was Helmut

Kohl’s original profession? Before he became a politician he

was a pharmaceutical advisor. For ten

years, from 1959 till 1969, Helmut Kohl was a staff member of

the Chemical Industry Association, the

largest lobby-organisation of the German pharmaceutical

industry. The Pharma Cartel picked one of its

own and turned him into a politician. We are not talking

about party politics here, but about health

politics. It is about liberating the health system of every

country from the claws of the world-wide

Pharma Cartel and create a health policy that will finally

serve the interests of the people. This is a

global goal that goes beyond all political party boundaries.

Naturally we had hoped that under the new German government

the interests with the Pharma Cartel

would not be so tightly interwoven. But we were wrong. On

February 26th, 1999, the federal government

responds to a letter of one of our consultants: " On behalf of

the German Chancellor I thank you for your

letter. The federal government is familiar with the

activities of Dr. Rath. Dr. Rath claims that heart

infarctions and strokes are the result of chronic vitamin

deficiencies and can be prevented with high

dosage vitamin supplementation. " Now comes the shocking bit:

" The federal government is of the

opinion that the plans of the Codex Alimentarius Commission

regarding nutritional supplements

containing vitamins and minerals, is worth supporting. " They

could not have made it any clearer. The

new government has also chosen the side of the irresponsible

plans of the Pharma Cartel. It gets worse;

once again the German federal authorities serve as politburo

of the world-wide Pharma Cartel.

How did Berthold Brecht say it in Galileo Galilei: " Who does

not know the truth, is simply a fool. Yet

who knows the truth and calls it a lie, is a criminal. "

Absolutely, a criminal. Or would you not call it a

crime when millions of people suffer, because vital health

information on vitamins and natural therapies

is purposively withheld from them? Every year 12 million

people die, world-wide, of cardiovascular

diseases. An optimum care with vitamins could possibly

prevent 80%, 90% and perhaps one of these

days even 99% of these deaths. But this knowledge is

suppressed. If the Codex Alimentarius plans are

passed, this will mean that in the next generation many more

millions will die unnecessarily of the

results of arteriosclerosis and other common diseases. Those

responsible are committing crimes

against human rights. Regardless of whether those responsible

wear the black suits of politicians or the

white coats of doctors, whether they are on the board of the

pharmaceutical companies or in the

government, they will have to be held responsible before a

court of law.

The Codex Alimentarius Commission will next meet in June

1999, in Geneva. From the 9th till the 12th of

June the representatives of the Pharma Cartel will meet in

the Hotel Intercontinental in Berlin to

co-ordinate their despicable plans further. Like a wolf in

sheep’s clothing they have chosen

" self-medication " as a theme for this conference. It wants to

get everything cut and dried, so that the

facts will be in the bag for the next big Codex meeting in

Berlin in February 2000. We will prevent this.

The house of lies of the Pharma Cartel is crumbling apart

world-wide. Like vampires, these interest

groups fear the light of day. That is why the most successful

strategy against these groups is to tell the

world what their real interests are. This is where you can

help us. Expose the plans of the Pharma

Cartel by discussing them with friends, neighbours and

colleagues. But will this help? Off course it will.

Let me tell you the story of the United States, of how the

American people inflicted the largest defeat

upon the Pharma Cartel yet. Shortly after the publication of

my first scientific work, that heart infarctions

and strokes, like scurvy, are the result of vitamin

deficiency and therefore preventable, the Pharma

Cartel began to make trouble. They started an official

campaign in the United States between 1992 and

1994. Vitamins should only be available to people by doctor’s

prescription, instead of through health

stores, thereby making it impossible for almost everyone to

buy them. But the people of America

opposed this. Newsweek magazine wrote about the largest

popular movement since the Vietnam War.

In August 1994, under enormous pressure of millions of

people, US Congress came to the unanimous

decision of guaranteeing total vitamin freedom. The " dietary

supplement health and education act " of

August 1994 is of historic importance. What exactly does it

say? It establishes the following points:

vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids, as well

as other natural healing substances, will be

freely available to the people of the United States, also in

higher dosages. In other words, no

pharmaceutical preparations will be made using vitamins and

other natural substances, to force up the

prices and put them under the control of the Pharma Cartel.

Second point: the unlimited spread of

health claims regarding vitamins and natural therapies is

expressly permitted. A gigantic step forward.

Third point of this law: the onus of proof lies with the

government. It is up to the American government to

prove that vitamins can be hazardous to one’s health. So can

they? Off course not. You can find details

about this law on our Internet-site www.drrath.com.

I believe that whatever is possible in the United States, is

also possible in any other country on earth.

As German politics is acting difficult about following the US

Congress’ example, we of the health

network have come up with our own bill. This is what it says:

Let the German federal government decide:

" Truthful claims regarding the beneficial effects of vitamins

and other nutritional supplements will be

available to the people without any limitations. All laws and

regulations that oppose the spread of such

claims shall be made null and void. "

Will this be successful? Certainly. Although the Pharma

Cartel has created a politburo inside the

German government, there are more and more responsible

politicians who take the side of the people in

this vital issue. One of these is Prof. Ernst Ulrich von

Weizsäcker, a cousin of the former federal

President. He supports our enactment, as do several other

German politicians in the new government,

such as the current minister of justice, Herta

Däubler-Gmelin, who already wrote in September last year

that she supports the spread of natural therapies. Other MPs

followed their example.

I come to the end of my lecture and to the question what you

can do to help end these wrongs. The first

step is to think about this lecture, to read the books and

the background information. Form your own

picture of the situation and discuss this with others. Speak

to friends who also care about the spread of

this vitally important information and try to meet with your

MP. Talk to him or her. Bring it home to them

that no theme is as important as this one. Tell them this is

about our health and remind them of their

oath, to protect the people from harm. If they ask for more

information, give them one of my books or

some other source of information on vitamins. Explain to them

why animals do not get heart attacks. I

am certain they will not know that animals produce their own

vitamin C and thus stabilise their arterial

wall. There are no excuses left. Ask them to support our

bill, or a similar one, immediately. Ask them

urgently to force the government to end all co-operation with

the Codex Alimentarius Commission. This

applies not only to Germany, but to every other country as

well. We must stop the adoption of a

world-wide information ban on vitamins and natural therapies,

and through that keep the Pharma Cartel

from bringing the next generation of mankind under their

yoke.

Talk to your representative of the National Health Service or

health insurance company and ask for a

refund of the costs for Cellular Medicine Formulae. Many

German insurance companies have already

started compensating their clients. Explain to your insurance

company that it is in their own interest to

support vitamin research and Cellular Medicine. After all,

they have to use their clients’ money

responsibly. Following the Pharma Cartel blindly and placing

implicit trust in pharmaceutical

preparations, 98% of which are no good, is irresponsible from

the side of the insurers. On the other

hand, it would certainly be responsible to support therapies

that are effective, have no side effects and

are often cheaper too.

How did Brecht’s Galilei say it: " We have set things in

motion. We will yet see a time when we will not

have to look over our shoulder like a criminal when we say

that two and two is four. "

Finally the most important thing of all: our goal is to build

a new health care system in the interest of the

people. How can we reach that goal with all these blockades

of the pharmaceutical industry, politics

and orthodox medicine? We can reach this through our network

of nutritional consultants, which you

can join. This consultation network circumvents the blockades

at the top by passing on the vitally

important information mouth to mouth at the basis, from

person to person. It is no secret that many

thousands of people in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and

other European countries have joined our

consultation network. For many of these people these

activities have already become a lifework.

In the end our work is about the right to health and life.

Unfortunately, this is not something that goes

without saying. We live in an era in which 98% of

pharmaceutical preparations have no proven beneficial

effects, in which the pharmaceutical industry has created the

fourth largest cause of death herself, the

side effects of medication, with the sole purpose of creating

new markets for its products. The rights to

health and to life are far from being human rights. We, the

people of the world, have to fight for these

rights. No one will give them to us. I call upon you to join

us in this great task.
