[...] Marley consulted physicians in Miami, briefly returned to Sloan-Kettering, then Jamaica, where he met with Dr. Carl "Pee Wee" Fraser, recommended to him by fellow Rastafarians. Dr. Fraser advised that Marley talk to Dr. Josef Issels, a "holistic comprehensive immunotherapist" then practicing at the Ringberg Clinic in Rottach-Egern, a small Bavarian village located at the southern end of Tegernsee Lake. Marley traveled to Bavaria and checked into the clinic. Dr. Issels met him, looked him over and allowed, without naming sources, 3I hear that you1re one of the most dangerous black men in the world.21 The portrait offered by publicity releases from the Issels Foundation is imposing enough: Dr. Issels, born in 907, founded the first hospital (financed by the estate of Karl Gischler, a Dutch shipping magnate2) in Europe for comprehensive immunotherapy of cancer in 1951. "He was the Medical Director and Director of Research." All well and good, perhaps ... until it is considered that by this time Dr. Issels was 44 years old. There is a gap in his bona-fidés. His medical career did not begin in 1951. During WW II, Dr. Issels could be found plying his "research" skills in Poland, at the Auschwitz concentration camp, working with Dr. Joseph Mengele, no less, according to several of the Wailers who have investigated the German 3alternative2 practitioner1s past. Bob Marley, the racial enemy of right-wing extremists everywhere, placed his life in the hands of a Nazi doctor, Mengele1s protegé, an accomplice of the "Angel of Death" in horrific medical atrocities committed against racial "subhuman" minorities. Lew-Lee recalls that Marley rejected conventional cancer treatments, "wanted to do anything but turn to Western medicine. This may have been a mistake, maybe not. Dr. Issels said that he could cure Bob. And they cut Bob1s dreadlocks off. And he was getting all of this crazy, crazy medical treatment in Bavaria. I know this because Ray Von Evans, who played in Marley1s group, we were very close friends. Bob was receiving these medical treatments, and Ray would come by every two or three months ‹ 1979-80 ‹ and told me: 3Yeah, mon,they1re killing Bob. They are KILLING Bob.2 I said, 3What do you mean Œthey are killing Bob?12 3No, no, mon,2 he said. 3Dis Dr. Issels, he1s a Nazi!2 We found out later that Dr. Issels was a Nazi doctor. And he had worked with Dr. Mengele."3 Dr. Issels would then be one of scores of Nazi practitioners to escape the attention of the Nuremberg Tribunal. Michael Kater, a professor of history at York University in Canada, found that physicians of the Hitler period were steeped in Nazi racial doctrines at medical school, and that many of them continued to practice undisturbed by war crime tribunals: "it was in a conventional medical culture infiltrated from one side by a science alienated from humanity and from another by charlantry that young physicians in the Third Reich were raised to learn and prepare for practice, with many predestined to practice after 1945."4 Dr. Issels first offered his alternative cancer therapies in this atmosphere of ruthlessness and quackery. In the 1930s, chronic cancer patients consulted Dr. Issels and received his experimental "combination therapy," a regimen of diet, homeopathic remedies, vitamins, exercise and detoxification, among other holistic approaches to healing. (Today his clinic offers training in cancer immunization vaccines, UV blood irradiation, oxygen and ozone therapy, 3biological dentistry2 (pulling teeth), immune elicitation by mixed bacterial vaccine, blood heating, etc.32) The medical establishment, particularly in the UK, has long objected to some of his therapies. Gordon Thomas, a former BBC producer, discovered that Issels was arrested in September, 1960. The warrant stated, 3the accused claims to treat ... cancer.... In fact [he] has neither reliable diagnostic methods nor a method to treat cancer successfully. It is contended [that] he is aware of the complete ineffectiveness of the so-called ... tumor treatment.2 The arrest warrant noted that Issels was a flight risk, that 3he had prepared for all contingencies by depositing huge amounts in foreign banks.25 Marley was placed on a regimen of exercise, vaccines (some illegal), ozone injections, vitamin and trace minerals, and other alternative treatments. In this period, Dr. Issels also introduced torture. Long needles were plunged through Marley1s stomach through to the spine. The patient-victim was told that this was part of the 3treatment.2 The torture continued until Marley foundered on the brink of death. Cedella Booker, his mother, visited him three times in the course of the 3treatments.2 She found Dr. Issels to be an 3arrogant wretch2 with the 3gruff manners of a bully2 who subjected her dying son to his bloodless brand of 3hocus-pocus2 medicine. Mrs. Booker: 3I myself witnessed Issels1 rough treatment of Nesta [Marley]. One time I went with Nesta to the clinic, and we settled down in a treatment room. Issels came in and announced to Nesta, ŒI1m going to give you a needle.12 Standing over Marley on the examination table, Issels 3plunged the needle straight into Nesta1s navel right down to the syringe. [Marley] grunted and winced. He could only lie there helplessly, writhing on the table, trying his best to hide his pain. ŒJesus Christ,1 I heard myself mumbling.2 Issels yanked out the needle and strolled casually out of the room. Marley was left groaning with pain. 3I went and stood at his side and held his hand.26 3With every visit,2 she recalls, 3I found him smaller, frailer, thinner. As the months of dying dragged past, the suffering was etched all over his face. He would fall into fits of shaking, when he would lose all control and shiver from head to toe like a coconut leaf in a breeze. His eyes would turn in his head, rolling in their sockets until even the white jelly was quivering.27 Marley1s torment was aggravated by starvation. 3For a whole week sometimes,2 Booker laments, Marley 3would be allowed no nourishment other than what he got intrtavenously. Constantly hungry, even starving he wasted away to a skeleton. To watch my first-born shrivel up to skin and bone ripped at my mother1s heart.2 Marley weighed 82 pounds on the day of his death.8 The starvation diet must have devastated his immune system and rushed his demise. It also caused him intense pain. 3It would drag on so, for one long painful month after the other, and every day would be a knife that death stabbed and twisted anew in an already open, bleeding wound.2 The agony 3wrapped him up like a crushing snake.238 Starvation left Marley with a knotted intestine, and Dr. Issels was forced to operate the clear the obstruction. The cancer finally claimed Marley on May 11, 1980. In Jamaica, the 20th was declared a national day of mourning, and Marley1s wake at the National Arena was attended by some 30,000 people.

The article canonizes the late Dr. Issels with lavish praise founded largely on the hostility of the medical establishment toward him. The authors glance inexplicably over the German doctor1s activities during the war years. Gary Null continues to consider Issels to be alternative medicine1s answer to lee Salk. Null has endorsed the clinic in a November, 1999 fundraising appearance on KCET, the PBS affiliate in Los Angeles, and elsewhere. 6) Ibid, p. 179. 7) Ibid., pp. 189-91. ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
