鈥淲e've had more people reverse cancer than any institute in the history of health care, so when 91社区 fails, or Toronto hospitals fail, they come to us. It can be stage 4 cancer and we reverse it.鈥� You can imagine why that quote caught my eye. Both 91社区 and University of Toronto have world-class cancer treatment centers, but unfortunately, when it comes to stage 4 cancers, which are the most deadly, the chance of successful treatment is low. So, who is it that claims success where the latest evidence-based treatments fail? 鈥淒r.鈥� Brian Clement, who runs the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida, apparently has the answers that have evaded mainstream researchers. What sort of doctor is this fellow? One who has some sort of accreditation as a 鈥渘utritionist鈥� from a diploma mill where they apparently teach some, let us say, 鈥渋nteresting鈥� science. I鈥檓 judging by the following rather fascinating outpouring of nonsense-bedecked drivel from the Hippocrates Health Institute.
鈥淏ased on modern biophysics and ancient Chinese medicine, color frequencies are applied to acupuncture points using a light pen and crystal rods. This promotes hormonal balance, detoxification, lymph flow and immune support while reducing headaches and sleeplessness. Working on cellular memory where the cause of disease resides, color puncture promotes healing from within.鈥� And all you have to do is shell out $120 for a 50 minute treatment. All this of course is laughable, but when it comes to claims about curing cancer, the humour quickly vanishes with the realization that it is real people with real cancer who are being duped. And going by the following asinine promo, that is just what is happening.
鈥淥ne of the major treatment goals of The Cancer Wellness Program at Hippocrates Health Institute is to strengthen the basic vitality, flow, and coherency of a person鈥檚 BioEnergy Field upstream to affect and change their downstream physical mass. The changes in a person鈥檚 vibrational frequency or bioenergy field, once stabilized, changes the electrical/chemical milieu in their body so that it is more difficult for their cancer or tumor mass with its own specific vibrational frequency to be sustained.鈥�.
This is inane claptrap is far from the only type of cancer treatment Hippocrates offers. Intravenous vitamins and wheat grass implants are standard fare. Implanted where? Well, let鈥檚 just say in areas where the sun doesn鈥檛 shine. Clement maintains that 鈥渆very disease known to man, plus premature aging, can be successfully dealt with on a diet of organic plant based foods.鈥� Apparently not mental disease, given that Clement surely follows this diet. Patients are also told to give up meat and dairy, and are asked to swallow some rather bizarre ideas. Genetics don鈥檛 matter much, Clement says, and what doctors say about the BRCA gene predisposing to breast cancer is false. On his regimen, this mental wizard claims, tens of thousands of people have reversed the final stages of cancer. I would love to see the evidence for that. This charlatan is in Canada right now, giving talks, mostly to entice First Nations people to visit his Institute in Florida for treatment. Just like that given to the unfortunate 11-year-old Ontario girl who suffered from leukemia. That had a very sad outcome. Let鈥檚 just say she was not one of the tens of thousands of patients that Clement claims to have successfully treated.
