Having passed the test given to him, and correctly "read" five of this doctor's private patients who were not actually present in the room at the time, the MD decided to throw Douglas a "curve." He asked a question about a major medical study in progress at the time, a transplant process involving two different surgical protocols for the pancreas. After describing each, he asked Douglas, still in the DTM, which would offer the best results? Douglas answered the question, and several weeks later, the MD (who now practices in the US) phoned to report that the reading was correct, the protocol selected in the reading was much more successful. What if Douglas had been consulted before such a study was even initiated? How many hours could have been saved? How many lives? In the 1990s, a licensed MD, Dr Hulda Clark, wrote a book about her views on cancer and health. A former pathologist, Dr Clark noticed that, in doing autopsies on those who had died of cancer, the proliferation of parasites in major organs was many times the norm. What if, she wondered, we treated cancer patients for parasites first, to give the immune system a chance to refresh itself?

Dr Clark opened a clinic to treat patients in this way. Two things happened shortly thereafter. First, she began to report phenomenal results with her unique, non-invasive, anti-parasite programs. Second, the establishment put her in jail. Most interesting to me was a DTM reading that Douglas did during the Clark controversy. At that point, we already knew Dr Clark's theory, and we already knew that she was getting results. So we asked Douglas to comment.

"Not parasites themselves that cause the outrageous cell growth or cancer," offered Douglas, with the stark clarity that only the DTM can provide. "But rather, as individual organs succumb to the disease process and blood flow stagnates, blood becomes thicker and darker, oxygen levels decrease; this creates an ideal environment for parasites," said Douglas. This short answer was staggering in its implications. While validating the Clark therapeutic approach - removing parasites to give the immune system a chance to heal - Douglas had, in no more than an eye-blink, suggested that we look to another hidden chain of causation for this dreaded disease that was, in fact, a precursor to the parasites; a process that ultimately causes the organs to attract parasites as they break down, as opposed to vice-versa. Staggering!

The bottom line is that independent testing and verification both of Cayce in his day, and Douglas today, suggest that the health/medical information is accurate to approximate the 99 percentile; and may, in many cases, be contemplating a link between cause and effect (as it relates to particular conditions) that even modern science is currently unaware of. Speaking of modern practice, the number of medical professionals willing to stand up and vouch for Douglas' readings is small (but significant). That is, of course a great pity. Most unfortunately are put off by bizarre connections between cause and effect the readings posit; the bulk of which are completely outside the ambit of anything taught in medical school.

Cancer, the result of a weak immune system (a system which cannot repress the growth of cancer cells which occur naturally and normally even in most health people)? Arthritis, the failure of the body to master its own eliminations? Epilepsy, an electrical balance aggravated by spinal subluxations and misalignments? Migraine caused by intestinal disturbances? Chronic Fatigue, the result of excessive exposure to invisible telecommunications signals and satellite traffic? These thoughts are so heretical that, were Douglas a Medical Doctor, he would lose his license in a heartbeat, and in the process there would probably be a tub of hot tar and a bag of feathers waiting somewhere nearby. But just because an explanation is different does not mean it is wrong.
