HIV/AIDS

Rick Rayman - NEW! -
Condition: HIV positive
Diagnosed: More than 10 years ago

“Rick is a long term survivor of HIV/AIDS and also a survivor of Cancer. Although with the conventional HIV treatment his viral load has been undetectable for last four years, his T cells have lingered in the low 200s range for number of years, sometimes even slipping below 200/ul. According to medical establishment, CD4 count dropping below this range is considered as “AIDS” diagnosis, even when there are no opportunistic infections present. Though, current anti viral therapies are believed to increase the CD4+ count, Rich always had his on 200 ranges.
However, within 8 weeks of starting the cellular nutrients, there was 54% increase in the CD4/CD3 Helper T-cells!!! The cellular nutrients more than doubled the status of his immune parameters.
Rick’s doctor is very impressed with these results, and says that Rick is not far from entering for the first time in over 10 years- the average ‘normal’ range of these parameters.” (Normal Range- 500-2000/ul)

Cancer

Alfred Bennett - NEW! -
Age: 70
Diagnosis: Mantle Cell Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Date of Diagnosis: June 2003
Conventional Treatment: 6 sessions of chemotherapy from August 2003 till November 2003.

In June 2003, at age 68, I was diagnosed with non Hodgkin's Lymphoma (Mantle Cell disease). I had a tumor in my throat on the back of my tongue. The biopsy of a large tumor taken from inside my throat came back cancerous, and a month later cancer was also found in my bone marrow.

I had 6 sessions of chemotherapy every 3 weeks from August till November 2003.I lost my hair, my health, my energy, and I lost the feeling in my feet, as I was told the chemicals cause nerve damage. In 2004, I came down with pneumonia and was put on antibiotics.

I tried the juice diet since I was not getting well from the chemotherapy. I also tried teas, and other natural products used to fight cancer. Nothing helped, especially with my depleted immune system unable to fight off flu’s and other infections.

In January of 2005, my wife heard about Dr.Rath’s Cellular Nutrients, and got them, and I started taking them. Within one month I noticed a huge difference in my health. I suddenly had energy, my skin coloring changed from grey to pink; my hair which had come back a year earlier now began to thicken. I felt healthy and vibrant.

Within 3 months I returned to my oncologist. He stopped dead in his tracks, and his mouth dropped open; since the previous appointment 3 months earlier, I had looked very different. He had seen a little old grey lifeless, skinny man who was hunched over with discouragement.

He said "But.. but... you look so healthy.. What are you doing?" I gave him your literature and referred to your the website. He checked my blood report and I was thrilled it was improved. I have improved steadily, and at my last appointment on May 30th 2006 my oncologist was thrilled with the results.

Thank you, Dr. Rath, for caring for people and looking for the answers. Thank you for the life saving scientifically researched Cellular Nutrients.

God bless you more as you do research in Cellular Medicine.

Evelyn Olguin
Age: 58
Diagnosis: Multiple Myeloma
Date of Diagnosis: February 2003

I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (leukemia) in February 2003. I was told that I needed a bone marrow transplant. I was tired, weak, and forgetful. My vision was blurred, and I cried a lot. I couldn’t be out of the house for more than an hour without being exhausted for three days. I couldn’t walk. My left leg would drag, and I would become easily tired. My memory was poor. I had to make sure that I ate consistently throughout the day. The skin literally hung from my body, and I didn’t have any muscle tone.

In July 2003, my sister introduced me to Dr. Rath's discoveries. In August 2003, I called the nutritionist and described my health problems. I was placed on a protocol, which consisted of cellular nutrients.

My vision and gallbladder improved. I would get severe discomfort in my abdomen in the afternoon and that improved. My breathing also improved. I gained weight and began sleeping well. The color of my skin also improved.

Now, I am driving again. I am gaining my independence and starting my life over. Cellular nutrients helped me tolerate my cancer medication.

As of December 2003, I now have the strength to go back to work. I am energetic. My personality has returned. I am grateful for the support I have received from Dr. Rath's staff. They have always been very supportive and loving. They listened to my needs and carried me through difficult times. Now, I can share my positive experience with a smile and give thanks for their support.

CONCLUSION: After using cellular nutrients for only three months, Evelyn Olguin’s IgG level decreased by 337 mg/dl and is in normal range, Evelyn is still healthy as of January 2005.

UPDATE: At present (June ’06), Evelyn is continues to be healthy and is living a normal life. She helps to educate people and spread the message of health and the importance of Cellular Medicine.

Sheela Pandharipande
Age: 73
Diagnosis: Colon Cancer
Date of Diagnosis: November 2002

I began experiencing health problems in July 2002. I felt exhausted all the time, and I was too weak to even walk up a few steps. A blood test revealed that my hemoglobin level was 8.9 g/dL. (Normal hemoglobin levels for women are 12-16 g/dL.) I was given a blood transfusion and also treated with iron therapy. However, I continued to feel exhausted, and I lost my appetite. In November 2002, I was diagnosed with colon cancer.

I underwent surgery, but I continued to suffer from a poor appetite and weakness. Three weeks after the operation, I remained bedridden. In December 2002, I volunteered to participate in a pilot study in India for cancer that was being sponsored by Dr. Rath Research Institute. Within just one week, I experienced a dramatic improvement in my condition.

Three months after starting cellular nutrients, my hemoglobin levels increased from 8.9 g/dL to 10.2 g/dL. My doctor told me that the tumor marker level (CA-125) in my blood had decreased from 8.6 to 3.5. I feel energetic, and I am taking a short walk every day. My appetite has returned, and my weight has increased from 105 pounds to 122 pounds. My quality of life has tremendously improved. I am very grateful to Dr. Rath for helping give me a better life.

CONCLUSION: After only three months of using cellular nutrients, Sheela Pandharipande’s tumor marker for colon cancer decreased significantly by 5.06, from 8.6 to 3.54. Sheela’s hemoglobin levels increased by 1.3 g/dl, from 8.9 g/dL to 10.2 g/dL and her red blood count increased by 1.32 million/cmm. She also gained 17 pounds.

UPDATE: Sheela was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwent surgery in November 2002. She refused to take chemotherapy or radiation ‘therapy’ and solely used Dr. Rath's Cellular Health™ Program. Since her last report from 2003, her health has greatly improved. Her medical tests show a significant decrease in the serum tumor marker CA-125 level, a significant improvement in hemoglobin and red blood cell level, an increase in body weight, and even greater hair density on the scalp. She is physically stronger and can sit cross-legged for 3 hours at a stretch, 2 to 3 times a week, with no problem at all. She is thus a perfect picture of sound health, at the age of 73.

Sally Holt
Age: 65
Diagnosed Condition: Ovarian Adenocarcinoma, Grade 2 with the mixed endometroid and papillary serous pattern
Diagnosed: March 2002

I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, which was surgically removed in March 2002. After surgery, a CT scan was done and another tumor was found. My tumor marker CA-125 level was 25. Doctors wanted to remove the tumor with surgery and do chemotherapy. I refused both and searched for alternative treatments. One of my friends introduced me to cellular nutrients, and we attended Dr. Rath's lecture in May 2002 at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. I was almost in tears listening to Dr. Rath.

After attending the lecture, I started taking cellular nutrients and informed my physician. My doctor told me that I was playing with my life. A few months later, I went to my physician and the CT scan showed no signs of the tumor. My CA-125 level had gone down to four. As of December 2003, my CA-125 level was three. I am very excited about the results. I feel energetic. I have no complaints, no GI symptoms, and no pelvic masses.



CONCLUSION: After four months of using cellular nutrients, Sally Holt’s tumor marker CA-125 level decreased significantly from 25 to four, and the tumor shrank from 22mm to 12mm. A continuing decrease of Sally’s tumor marker level is still being observed. The unique synergistic action of cellular nutrients was able to achieve what pharmaceutical drugs could not. Sally is still cancer free as of January 2005.

UPDATE: At present (June ‘06), Sally is considered cancer free and continues to be healthy. She is taking the vitamin program in maintenance doses, visits her doctor regularly for follow-ups and is checked for any cancer recurrence. She has a CT scan scheduled in the next few months and expects it to be clean as well.

John Asel
Age: 64
Diagnosis: Renal Cell Carcinoma: Maximum classified as Stage 1+ or 2 only because of the tumor size - 10 lbs. (tumor diameter on left kidney 8 cm)
Date of Diagnosis: November 2000

My name is John Asel. I was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma in November of 2000. I lost my left kidney to renal cell carcinoma. I was diagnosed with having a tumor on my kidney and, at that time, a registered nurse who is a good friend of ours told us about Dr. Rath. I've been using cellular nutrients since last August. I haven’t taken any other medications, just cellular nutrients. I haven’t had many physical symptoms of the renal cell carcinoma, such as weight loss or gain, and I feel much better. I walk two miles a day, plus I do Fit-Links at the [gym]. On December 30th, I had a CT scan and the tumor showed signs of necrosis, which meant it was actually dying from within. My appetite and color are good. I am back working in the office. The moons on my fingers are much better. It's just been wonderful. This is now the third month after my previous scan, and the tumor just looks like a shadow on my liver. There were two spots on my lung that have disappeared. There is no new evidence of any cancer in my system anywhere. I feel that without cellular nutrients, I would not be here.



CONCLUSION:: As of January 2005, John Asel feels great and is energetic. John’s liver and lungs are clear.

UPDATE: As of February 2006, John Asel still feels great and has no symptoms of a disease. He sent us his recent medical report and told us that his doctor at Duke Medical Center with whom he met in February, 2006, was very pleased because the tumors on the liver and the adrenal gland are necrotic. His doctor told him that the blood supply has been cut off to the tumors and they are dying from within. The pancreas is normal and there is no change in the lungs. Since John feels great and has no symptoms of cancer, his doctor did not force him to have any preventive conventional treatment and said "lets leave it alone".

Here is what John wrote us:
"Again thank you for your help. I will keep on the accelerated vitamin program till the next scan. If there is anything I can do to assist the Rath organization please let me know. It works."

As of May 2006, John feels great and his latest scan report provided by Duke Medical Center shows that his condition is stable. He continues the vitamin program.

As of September 2007, John is feeling great and his cancer is still in remission. John has sent us his CT scan reports. CT scans done in March 2007 and September 2007 show no signs of progression and the lesions are stable.

The nodules in left upper lobe of the lung and right hepatic lobe is grossly unchanged as compared to the past CT scans. The hypervascular right adrenal lesion is also unchanged compared to prior CT scan image. The CT scan reports also indicate that there is no local recurrence or enlargement of lymph nodes.

John writes,
"My doctors are amazed at how well I am doing without using their type of treatment."

John continues to take on regular basis the Dr.Rath Cellular Health™ Program.

Mary Laas
Condition: Breast Cancer

My condition was breast cancer. I'm not taking any medications or prescription drugs. I found the lump myself. I was devastated and my husband was devastated when we first discovered that I had breast cancer. They had done a bone scan, they had taken an ultrasound for me and a biopsy, and [the tests] had shown that the cancer was alive. Then I discovered cellular nutrients in December and, three months later, all the cancer cells were dead. I have never been happier in my life. That was the best news that my husband and I could have received. I feel more alive than I have in a long time. I'm just happy.

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

Irregular Heartbeat

Sandra DeMasi’s - NEW! -
Diagnosis: Premature Ventricular Contractions

I was diagnosed with this condition in 1996. I was misdiagnosed, until 2001. I had been to Temple University Medical Center. They completely ignored my symptoms and just chalked it up to a complaining pre-menopausal woman. I had real complained, but no one listened. Everyone tried to prescribe a quick fix prescriptions that only masked the problems or made the issue worse and did not address the issues at hand.

I work at a world-renowned children’s hospital in Delaware. While at work as a medical transcriptionist, I worked at that time nights alone, and I had to dial a Code Blue on myself. I was stabilized, and then transferred out the Christiana Hospital in Delaware.

The doctors had me on a number of medications.

They were treating me like it was a mental issue rather than a heart issue. So when the doctors in Westchester treated me, they said that they didn’t see anything, they did everything. When I went to Temple University, one of their top heart doctors missed the problem, because it’s there at a snap of a finger and then it’s gone. But then I went to see another doctor in 2001, who did a heart catheter on me and he said he didn't see anything, but he believed me, because he had seen someone who had the same symptoms. He sent me to Dr. Pennington, in 2002, and that’s how I met Dr. Pennington. Dr. Joseph Pennington looked at all the things they tried, and now they had me hooked on Clonipin. I was taking 9 milligrams a day.

Nothing worked.

Dr. Pennington did a complete cardiac workup on me. Then he did an ablation so that he could take a look. He told my husband that they gave me enough stimulants, while under anesthesia to try and make the SVT or other rhythms present, to knock a gorilla. But the ablation was unsuccessful. So he wanted to ablate me again. This time, Dr. Pennington didn't knock me all the way out, and it wasn't successful but the suspected that there might be another rhythm. So then he put an implanted loop monitor on me, which would record every heartbeat. That’s how he caught my irregular heartbeat. I have had my heart rhythms converted a number of times with the drug adenosine.

Honestly without [Dr. Rath's] vitamins he would have to go back in and try another ablation or I would be on a cardiac medication to control that 20% that is not under control. I wonder how many other women out there struggle with similar symptoms and are misdiagnosed?

Dr. Pennington put me on Toprol and I hated it. We tried other medications as well.

Eventually I found out about Dr. Rath. Louise at Nature’s Way told me about Dr. Rath. I called and talked to a doctor at Dr. Rath’s who explained to me how cellular nutrients work. She faxed me that information.

So after I started using Dr. Rath’s cellular nutrient recommendations, my irregular limits happened less. I don’t have the attacks as much now. None of the events that I have had have landed me in the Emergency Room.

I really like working with Dr. Pennington. He says that traditional methods and natural methods can work with one another.

I’m almost completely off my other medications because of taking cellular nutrients. I have more energy, and I am bothered much less with the irregular rhythms. Now I can get back to moving around, doing the vacuuming, everything. I could not do those things before. I can walk a mile. That’s huge. And I could not do those things before using cellular nutrients. I’m enjoying life more.

For at least three years, I tried the traditional route, and was about to go crazy and my health was very bad. Now, with Dr. Pennington’s help and with Dr. Rath’s cellular nutrient recommendations, I’m doing much better.

And I know that not all vitamins are the same. I tell my friends if they just go get whatever cheap vitamins, it’s like driving a cheap car, where cellular nutrients are the Mercedes. They work better. I have my brother trying cellular nutrients and my son and my neighbors.

I recommend cellular nutrients to my friends -- they would be such a fool if they didn’t try it.

I really hope this helps and that this reaches many women, and they are able to get help through the vitamins as I have.

Diabetes

Andrew N.Odoemenem - NEW! -
Condition: Diabetes
Medications: Insulin

I was suffering from complicated heart disease, the doctor in Houston Hospital described that one side of my heart was large, and that my heart was weak and will need heart replacement. I feared to go into heart replacement and therefore decided to change the hospital. After examination, I was booked for heart bypass. I had no choice than fight for my survival. That was the time I walked in to a health food store and I picked all of Dr.Rath’s books. After reading all the books, I came to the conclusion that everything he said in the books is correct and applied to my case. I brought Dr.Rath’s Cellular Nutrients and started taking them. Not up to a month, I started feeling well. I now juggle, walk miles, ride bicycle without any pain. I believe if I can continue up to six months, I will have a young man’s heart. I am 60 years old. My blood pressure used to be 156/96. Now, that I have started taking Dr.Rath’s Cellular Nutrients, the blood pressure has never exceeded 120/70 or 127/78. My pulse rate was formerly 56-60, now it is 65-70. I also have diabetes. My blood sugar level used to read between 150-180.After I started using the Cellular Nutrients it came down to 125-130. My doctor lowered my insulin intake from 15/10 to 7/5. Now my blood sugar is even lower it is 90-105.Since I have been on Cellular Nutrients, everyday marks a remarkable improvement in my health. Thanks to Dr.Rath.

Mary Bivins
Condition: Diabetes

My name is Mary Bivins and I am 46 years old. Before I started taking cellular nutrients, I couldn't walk one flight of stairs. I couldn't do laundry that much, because I had to go downstairs to wash. But about two weeks after I started taking, I could do all of that. I couldn't even walk to the store without getting tired. My fiancé was always telling me, "You don't walk with me." But now, every time he gets ready to go, I'm right there with him. I walk with him, and my mother sees I can walk up and down the stairs without getting tired. She asked me what was I doing to do this and to get my energy back. [Cellular nutrients] help me a lot and I will continue to take them because they really help me. When I first learned I had diabetes, I worked for a while and then I had to come off. I was having problems with my knees and my legs, but now everything seems to be better.

Cholesterol

Bruce Barber
Age: 56
Diagnosis: High Cholesterol
Date of Diagnosis: 2001

The health condition that I have been concerned about since 1998 was coronary artery disease. I didn’t know that I even had a condition. I was 49 years old at the time. I thought I was in good shape, and was working out every day. I had a boat business. I guess [there was] a little bit of stress with the business, and one day in the gym while I was on the treadmill, both of my arms got numb and that alarmed me. It happened again during the day and then again that night [while I was] lying in bed. I had my wife call the ambulance and from there, it went downhill. Within days, I had to have triple bypass surgery [because my arteries had] 70, 80 and 100% blockage.

The protocol that the doctors had me on was Lipitor 20mg, Cozar 50mg, and 325mg of aspirin. Somewhere in between this five-year period, they added a new drug to help lower [my] cholesterol. Oddly enough, over time, the cholesterol got very low, but when I moved to Lake County, Florida, I switched cardiologists and internists. My internist knew something about lipoprotein(a). No one else had ever talked to me about it. I think they [physicians] know about it, but they just don’t talk because they don’t have a treatment for it. But he [my cardiologist] said, “We’ll test for it, but we don’t have anything that we can do about it.” My cholesterol level was 150, but my lipoprotein(a) level was around 128. Not long after this, I heard about Dr. Rath and thank goodness I did. [By reading Dr. Rath’s books], I found out lipoprotein(a) really is the problem. We have reversed that and I have been weaned off the drugs. I just use cellular nutrients and they do work.

After 18 months of Dr. Rath’s regimen and no medication, my lipoprotein(a) is down 50% (in the 60s), and my ejection fraction on the other side of the coin went from 47 to 63, which I think correlates to cleaner arteries. I certainly feel better than I ever have. I feel good about what I have done and talk to people about [Dr. Rath’s discoveries] every day. I think we are being led down the wrong path and that is why people need bypass [surgery] every 10 or 12 years and stints every couple of years. It just isn’t being corrected.

[My doctor] was absolutely amazed at how lipoprotein(a) could go down 50% because he had told me there is nothing they can do about lipoprotein(a). So I proved to them that it did work, and he was amazed. He said, “Now I have to put something in your file because you stopped your drugs.” I said, “That’s fine, you go ahead and put that in the file. Will you still keep me as a patient?” He said, “yes,” and we shook hands.

Arlene Eastlund
Diagnosis: High Cholesterol
Date of Diagnosis: May 2004

To Dr. Rath and Company:

This is a testimony to the profound value of the programs you offer to the world. My doctor was very alarmed at the steady increase in my cholesterol levels last year. I'm a 62-year-old woman, and my diet and lifestyle didn't match this problem. As I am a healthy eater, my doctor felt my liver was just one of those that overproduced cholesterol. She finally ordered me to be on Lipitor. I called my dear friend whose expertise I trust in the health arena, and she immediately sent me some [cellular nutrients]. I told my doctor that I was going to use [cellular nutrients], and she agreed to test me in a few months.

That was at the end of May last year. My cholesterol level at that time was 266, my HDL level was 92 and my LDL level was 163. In the beginning of October last year, I was tested again and my cholesterol level was 230, my HDL was 89 and my LDL level was 130.

Just a few weeks ago, I was tested again. I am sending you the results, which again are an improvement! My doctor is blown away and is calling your company for all the information to be sent to her. My friend and [cellular nutrients] have blessed me with added health years and a greater quality of life. God bless you on your mission. Thank God you are out there.

Sincerely,
Arlene Eastlund

Mike Keyes
Diagnosis: High Cholesterol

As a 50-year-old, 260-pound ex-football player, my cholesterol has been as high as 400, but with the medication Lipitor it has stayed around 275-300. In addition, I am extremely active in the gym, working out 4-5 times weekly. (I am very dedicated to my health since my parents and grandparents died in their late 60s due to heart problems.) I was introduced to Dr. Rath’s cellular nutrients by my good friend Don Karn, as we both have daughters playing on the same soccer team.

I began using cellular nutrients in mid-November 2004. I also (without my doctor’s consent) stopped taking Lipitor. In mid-January, approximately 60 days after I began to use cellular nutrients, I had my blood tested for an insurance policy and the results were staggering:

 
November 4, 2004
January 15, 2005
Cholesterol
278
191
Triglycerides
337
255
HDL Chol
36
39
LDL Chol
175
102

I am officially off Lipitor and a full-time member of the Dr. Rath fan club. I continue to use cellular nutrients daily, and I look forward to my next blood test, as my insurance premiums reflect my new health status.

Muhammad Khan
Condition: High Cholesterol

My blood was tested in July 2002, and the report revealed that my cholesterol level was 279. I began taking cellular nutrients three times a day. I had read many books written by Dr. Rath, and I wanted to see for myself if cellular nutrients really worked. Over the next four months, I took [cellular nutrients], and I even intentionally consumed a diet high in fats and sugars. In January 2003, I received my second blood test and the report indicated that my cholesterol level had decreased from 279 to 179! With the exception of taking [cellular nutrients], I did not make any lifestyle changes.

Cellular nutrients worked for me! Thank you, Dr. Rath.

 

Case 2 - High Cholesterol
The patient reported that he began using cellular nutrients in August 2002; cholesterol testing completed July 2002 indicated a cholesterol level of 279. After 5 months of using cellular nutrients and no other lifestyle changes, the patient report that his cholesterol level on testing in January 2003 had dropped to 179. Laboratory data indicated that he had also experienced a drop in LDL, despite an increase in triglycerides over this period (147 to 214). Thus, despite increased fat intake, nutrient synergy significantly improved the patient's cholesterol and LDL levels. He also reported improvement in eyesight significant enough to eliminate use of glasses for driving.
