Dedication
As a complete rewrite and update of Rheumatoid Diseases Cured
at Last, the contents of this book are the result of hundreds of thou-
sands of clinical studies, patient treatment hours, and other research
performed by hundreds of health professionals world-wide over the
span of many generations. It would be fitting to dedicate this book to
all of those pioneers, many of whom risked their reputations and their
licenses for the higher goal of finding truth and the power to heal
dreaded, crippling diseases. And so we shall dedicate!
Special mention, however, must be made of certain pioneers who,
in seeking truth and the power to heal, brought to fruition medical
treatments that untangle the Gordian knots known as “arthritis.” Roger
Wyburn-Mason, M.D., Ph.D., Jack M. Blount, M.D., and Thomas
McPherson Brown, M.D. stand at the pioneers’ forefront — and so we
must honor each of them, accordingly.
There is another class of pioneers who have greatly striven to bring
about the freedom we need to apply newly discovered, successful treat-
ments that have not been approved by the self-righteous, so-called,
“medical establishment,” which, James Carter, M.D., Dr.P.H., defines
as “the American Medical Association, state medical associations,
medical specialty organizations, state boards of medical examiners,
medical schools and teaching hospitals, the American Hospital Asso-
ciation, the National Insurance Association (representing some 1,500
companies) and the entire drug, pharmaceutical, and medical equip-
ment industry.”16
Honest science does not drive medical advances, contrary to popu-
lar belief. And as Julian Whitaker, M.D. has said it, “What physicians
do today is determined by the same forces that have always been present:
cultural beliefs, current medical dogma (often irrational), financial in-
17
terests, training, and peer pressure.”
So there’s much more to getting well, than simply discovering a
workable method. At least in the United States there is also the very
real problem of getting legal permission to apply the necessary heal-
ing tools.
Among all those men of good will who daily fight against the sup-
pressive nature of the medical establishment are three men who also
deserve our sincere dedication. These are former Iowa Congressman
Berkley Bedell, Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, both founders of the Alter-
native Medicine Office under the National Institute of Health, and,
finally, Burton Goldberg, a grand public disseminator of workable
alternative methods.
