This is a financial newsletter I subscribe to.  They are of course
focused on the financial aspects of things mainly, but this one is about
things like blood electrification, Rife and so forth.  Thought it would
be of interest.

        BECAUSE HEALING THE SICK IS ILLEGAL. . . .

     What if I told you there is a two-room clinic where
you may be able get cured of cancer, or Lou Gehrig's
disease, or AIDS, or muscular dystrophy, or arthritis, or
chronic fatigue syndrome?  You will not be cut, drugged, or
burned.  You will not need anesthesia.  You can, if you
ask, receive prayer.  But prayer is optional.  The
technique works without prayer.

     What would you say?  (1) "You're nuts." (b) "Someone
will soon be going to jail, unless the treatment is
available only on some new country-island where avant-garde
practitioners pay bribes."  (3) "Where can I sign up?"

     I won't make any such claims.  Instead, I will tell a
story.  I'm part of this story.  But I am going to be a bit
vague about geographical details.

     For most readers, I hope this information will not be
personally useful, although I trust you will find it
fascinating.  For a few of you, it will be a life-and-death
matter.  The sad thing is this: because of legal reasons,
members of the second group are not going to be able to
take advantage of my information.  Think of this report as
a sign:

AN ASTOUNDING CLAIM

     My story has to do with a purported cure for a
specific form of disease: specifically, virus-borne
disease.  But, you may think, that's not just one disease.
You are correct.

     The moment we move from "a disease" to a broad range
of diseases with a common cause, the word "cure" becomes
legally actionable.  He who promises such a cure in
exchange for money is going to have a visit from the Food &
Drug Administration or a sister organization.

     I speak from experience.  My wife once loaned $10,000
to such a victim to hire a lawyer to protect him from the
FDA temporarily.  This delay strategy worked.  The
defendant had enough time to escape from the United States,
and take his cure with him.  My wife never got her money
back.  Neither of us resents the fact.

     The man is now dead.  He died in 2001, a decade after
his flight from "justice."  That is why I am telling part
of his story.  I am not telling all of it because the
extraordinary technique that cured so many people -- though
not all -- still exists.  I know where it was being offered
two years ago.


MY WIFE'S STORY

     I have told my wife's story elsewhere.  My article
remains on-line.  I do not need to tell it again.  Here is
a brief synopsis.

     My wife in 1988 was suffering from chronic fatigue
syndrome, also known as Epstein-Barr disease.  She was in
constant pain, slept 13 to 14 hours a day, could not drive
faster than 15 miles an hour without thinking she was
speeding, could not remember anything she read within 15
seconds after reading it, and was getting worse.  This had
gone on for 18 months.

     I sent her to a clinic in California.  In three days
of treatments, 8 hours a day, all symptoms disappeared.
They have not been back.

     I wrote up this story for my REMNANT REVIEW
subscribers.  About a dozen of them then went to the
clinic.  Most were cured.  One was not.

     At the clinic, my wife met a patient who said she had
suffered from muscular dystrophy.  She had been crippled by
it.  Now, she was almost fully functional.

     The most famous of the patients was James Coburn, who
had been forced out of acting by arthritis.  I interviewed
him a decade ago for my tape subscription service (which no
longer exists).  He told his story to me.  He had been in
so much pain that on some days, he could not raise his arm
to comb his hair, which was not good for a man who starred
in action movies, he said.  I have a file of newspaper
clippings on Coburn's subsequent visits to the clinic,
which by then was operating in England.  I went public with
this story the week after Coburn died.  You can read it
here:

                  http://shurl.org/coburn

     What was the cure?  It was a machine.  I called it
"the black box," even though it was really gray.  A patient
would sit in a reclining chair.  An assistant put a series
of wires on the person's toes and upper chest.  Then the
assistant turned on the machine.  Except for a slight
tingling, there was no other sensation.  There the patient
sat, usually for three hours.  The main discomfort was
boredom.

     It took my wife three days to get well.  The inventor
admitted that this was a record.  It took two series of
treatments for my pastor friend's son to get out of a
wheelchair to full recovery.  The first series took two
weeks; the second took a week.  I have a BBC-broadcast
video of the initial phase of the boy's recovery, after the
first series of treatments.  The BBC did not do a follow-up
when the boy returned to high school after the second set
of treatments.  He joined the track team, where he ran the
200-meter race.  That would have made a much better news
show for the BBC.


A TEMPORARY REPRIEVE

     The inventor was a genius and more than a little
messianic.  He believed his machine could cure just about
any disease, from AIDS to Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS).  He
claimed to have done so.  The trouble is, he could not shut
up.  An appearance on a Las Vegas TV show, where he claimed
his machine could cure cancer, led to the shutdown of his
clinic in 1991.

     He had to walk a fine line.  He could not make
curative claims.  The machine was licensed to cure pain,
which it did, sometimes (though not always) by curing the
disease that caused the pain.  My wife was such a person.
Any claim beyond this was a red cape in front of a
bureaucratic bull.  He refused to walk a fine line.  The
FDA shut him down by placing "do not use" stickers on his
machines.  What saved him was that they put a 31-day time
limit on the stickers and then forgot to reapply them.  At
12:01 a.m. on day 31, he loaded the machines onto a moving
van and disappeared into the night.  The marshals showed up
-- as bureaucrats do -- at 9 a.m. on day 32.  Surprise!

     When the inventor died in 2001, his clinic was in
London.  The lady who ran it with him was one of his former
patients.  She later told me that she had also suffered
from CFS, but far worse than my wife had.  She was under
100 pounds and was on a stretcher when she arrived at the
clinic.  It took months of treatments for her get to get
well.  But she did get well.  She became a disciple.  Let's
call her Margo Lane.  That's because invisibility remains
her main defense.

     After I posted my article online, she got enough new
clients to pay off most of the company's debts.  The
inventor could not handle money -- a common problem of
genius inventors, I am told.  She then left London.  I
prefer not to say where she is today.  That's because I may
want access to the "black box" at some point.  There is no
question that if I were told by three physicians that "you
are terminal," I would go onto the box as my first line of
defense.


RIFED FOR LIFE

     There is a continuing rumor that a machine invented
about 80 years ago by Royal Rife was such a cure-all.  Lots
of machines, said to be Rife machines, are available.  Use
Google to search for Royal Rife, and pages of articles will
appear.  On the right-hand side of the page will be Google
ads for Rife boxes.  As to how anyone could prove that his
box is in fact a Rife box, which was confiscated by the
government two generations ago, I have no way of knowing.

     His machine is said to have used light to identify and
then kill disease-causing microbes.  There is a layman's
movement devoted to keeping his story alive and throwing
light on the FDA, the way Rife's machine supposedly threw
light on microbes.  I call this the light to Rife movement.

     I firmly believe that there are electrical ways to
treat diseases effectively.  The best book for laymen that
I have read on electrical-magnetic therapies was written by
a physician: Robert Becker's "The Body Electric," which has
been available for quite a while.  But this approach to
health comes into conflict with the three main accepted
medical methodologies: drug, cut, and burn, all of which
must be licensed by the state to be medically acceptable.
So, the best way to get yourself Rifed is to promote
electricity-based cures.

     I think there are ways to avoid getting yourself
Rifed.  I wrote an a defensive strategy back in 2002.  I
sent it to the woman who owns the boxes that cured my wife.

     My strategy could be used by anyone who owns some
version of an electrical therapy.  We hear about such
therapies all the time.  They are all over the Web.  But,
sooner or later, the authorities move in, and the sites are
taken down or are revised to include a statement that the
machine may not work as previously claimed, and is
available only for research purposes.

     As you read my strategy, understand that I am
suggesting it as a way of dealing with unwarranted
political power.  If the civil government would leave
medical care to buyers and sellers, none of this would be
necessary.  But in a shooting war, you must seek out
whatever cover you can.  If you can get one branch of the
government to keep another branch at bay, I think it's
worth considering.

     This outline is in the form of a business plan.  You
may be uninterested in this electronic cottage industry,
but you can learn how to use a business plan from what I
told her.

     Side note: she took one piece of my advice.  She moved
from London to just about the lowest-cost location I could
imagine in the Western hemisphere, at least where anyone
can drive to easily.  I have been there.  It's perfect: a
nondescript building in an nondescript town in an
nondescript region.  A quiet information network tells
desperate people of the box's existence.  But for how long?
She faces the same problems the inventor faced.  She must
walk a fine line.  As I said, invisibility is her main
defense.

     Here is the business plan that I suggested to her.
Before adopting it, a person should hire a lawyer with
experience in international business.  In fact, he should
hire two: one in the United States and one in the foreign
country in which he incorporates.  I recommend England or
the Isle of Man.  He should run this plan by them to see
what they think will work best.

     The goal is not hiding money from the tax man.  The
goal is to get sick people healed.


1.  GOALS

     The first step in developing a long-term plan is to
formulate your long-term goals. If you are not clear about
what you want your to achieve, your plan will not work, or
at least not work well.

     I propose this goal: the maximization of the
effectiveness of this tool in a program of Christian
evangelism through healing.  This would involve:

          1.   International distribution of the tool
          2.   Price reductions through competitive
               production
          3.   The development of training materials on:
                    a. Using the machine
                    b. Christian evangelism
                    c. Marketing
          4.   A legal structure to shield practitioners
          5.   Cooperation from local authorities
          6.   Extension of the program through time
          7.   Expansion of the program through recruiting

     If this sounds reasonable, consider the following
plan.
