Re: Colon Cancer and Neuropathy- Herbert M. Shelton

Dear Joe

Dr Bass has a diease encyclopedia writen by Dr Shelton on his web site.

http://drbass.com/orthopathy/index.html

Chapter twenty-three has information on cancer. This little paragraph is

what he said about hopeless casses of cancer.

" Hopeless Cases: Fasting is an easy and rational way to die when cancer or

other painful affection cannot be remedied. Tilden says: " A better way to die,

when one is fated to go by way of cancer, is to stop eating. Nothing but peace,

comfort, and enjoyment of friends to the end will be experienced by anyone who

will not take anything but water. To eat and take morphine, or any narcotic or

anodyne, causes a fiendish death. " * * * " In those cases of cancer where there

is absolutely no hope, if the patient will go without food he will go down and

die normally and naturally, without pain, without discomfort, and can have the

pleasure of conversing with his friends up to the last minute. And that is not

all — he gets the last best chance for a cure. Some of these cases that are said

to be hopeless, and afterwards killed by drug reliefs, if they were put on an

absolute fast they would fool the prognostication sometimes by getting well. "

I fasted at Shelton's Ranch in the mid 50s and also once had all of his books

as well as the monthly Hiygenic Review which covered most problems. Your

assessment of Shelton is excellent, however, I distinctly recall that Shelton

did not favor Fasting in matters of Cancer except, and he only touched on this,

'perhaps' after surgery. Another name I read on back then was Tilden, M.D.

Shelton's writings are legend and his knowledge of physiology and the causes of

disease has colored my understanding of the disease process1 completely. His

approach was totally 'Natural' living and eating where possible with a strong

emphasis on Food Combining as well. His thoughts on cancer were that it was an

'end pathology' after years of INFLAMMATION, INDURATION, followed by CANCER.

I have never forgotten hiscaveat on fasting as regards cancer and do not think

he ever changed his mind. Note I said 'Think'.
