Asosciation, author of Brain Allergies, Victory Over
Diabetes and numerous articles and booklets on food

Orthomolecular Health Society.
Selling the Magic Bullet
Billions of dollars spent each year intend to convince the pub-
lic (and doctors) that a magic bullet “breakthrough” is in the offing.
Just a few more billions, another decade or two for “proper” re-
search, compose just the brightest research crew . . . “you could be
saved any day now, hallelujah!”
We’ll call this Magic Bullet, Type I.
“Just ask your doctor if xyztuvwp isn’t right for you!” Aside
from a long list of whispered, damaging side-effects, it’s really a
form of a magic bullet, too!
We’ll call this Magic Bullet, Type II.
So we have two kinds of magic bullets huxtered daily, year in
and year out.
Type I will cure most any kind of degenerative disease such as
cancer, arthritis, diabetes, and so on. Just spend enough money for
“research” and we’ll get there together.
Type II will “cure” what ails you now! “Dr. So-and-so is re-
ally a bright man, and he said to take xyztuvwp.”
“I feel so much better now, and relieved that I no longer have
to worry over qrjuve!”
Whether the words are spoken or not, we are to understand
that Magic Bullet Type I only requires money, time, and brains.
Whereas Magic Bullet Type II will work immediately, never mind
that it is not a true Magic Bullet, but only a symptom reliever, and
that while the underlying biological disturbance is hidden and con-
tinuing, it also adds on more biological problems for which addi-
tional Magic Bullet Type II’s may be required.
Magic Bullet Type I is usually a con job.
Magic Bullet Type II is a lie, passing itself off as a Type I.
Do Magic Bullets Exist?
Semmelweis developed a magic bullet. He washed his hands
before delivering babies after having disected cadavers. Childbed
fever dropped “magically.”
Vitamin C is a magic bullet against scurvey!
Indeed, most of the vitamins are magic bullets against specific
“lack-of” diseases. They are also magic bullets against many other
potential health problems. For example, Vitamin A when taken by
the pregnant mother can help prevent Spina Bifida in the newly
born. Vitamin C, when taken in sufficient quantity, can strengthen
the immune system so that many microorganism-based diseases
are defeated.
Properly grown, stored and prepared foods are also magic
bullets for a wide variety of ailments, especially when enzymes,
vitamins and minerals are present and absorbed by the patient.
Specific antibiotics, such as penicillin, can be a magic bullet
against bacteria that have not yet learned to adapt to its deadly in-
fluence.
A wondeful, woefully underused magic bullet is injectable di-
lute hydrochloric acid. It will stimulate macrophages and leucocytes
to defeat virtually any bacterial invasion, whether they have adapted
to antibiotics or not. (See Three Years HCl Therapy, http://
www.arthritistrust.org, “Books” tab.)
Antigen specific colostrum is a fabulous magic bullet when
properly used and administered. Complement prepared from any
number of antigens surrounds and kills organisms immediately
without passing thru the long, tedious, often defective process of
vacination, incubation and finally protection. (See “Universal Oral
Vaccine,” http://www.arthritistrust.org, “Articles” tab.)
Heparin used externally and internally on recent burns, even
severe ones, result in less pain, faster healing, and zero scar tissue.
(See “A Burning Issue,” Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients,”
October 2005, p. 66; also at http://www.arthritistrust.org, “Articles”
tab)
So, the answer is, YES! Magic Bullet’s do exist!!
But they are seldom Type I’s and never, never Type IIs.
Primary Methods of Wonderful Cures from
Alternative/Complementary Practitioners
Practitioners of alternative/complementary medicine utilize a
wide variety of techniques to assist their patients toward wellness.To
name just a few: kinesiology, electro-dermal screening, diet con-
trol along with determination of needed vitamins and minerals
(orthomolecular medicine), Oriental medicine (herbs & diagnosis),
acupuncture, electromagnetic frequencies, wave forms and polari-
ties, biological dentistry, anti-candida treatments, anti-allergy treat-
ments, and so on.
All of these processes, and more, directly or indirectly have as
an end result the literal formation of the same magic bullet which
guarantees restoration of good health.
The Acidic/Alkalinity State
Let’s consider “diet control along with determination of needed
vitamins and minerals and proper nutrition (orthomolecular medi-
cine),” to illustrate the problems faced by the practitioner and the
patient.
Basic to everything is the physician’s goal of having the pa-
tient achieve an alkaline systemic state.
The problem of patient system acidity is a worrisome one for
any doctor.
Other than required stomach acid, system acidity promotes
ill-health and prevents cellular repair.
Alkalinity promotes good health and assists cellular repair.

cal which changes color as the acidity, or hydrogen ion concentra-
