"The Cure For All Cancers" - Except Hanne's
by Pia Johansen
My friend, a young woman of 42 years, was diagnosed with severe breast cancer. She got a full mastectomy and was treated with chemo and radiation.
She contacted an alternative practitioner, who besides magnetic treatments also deals with the Hulda Regehr Clark protocols. These protocols are based on the idea that all cancers are caused by a single internal parasite - the human fluke.
Clark claims that all cancers and many other diseases are caused by "parasites, toxins, and pollutants" and can be cured by killing the parasites and ridding the body of environmental chemicals. Her book, The Cure for All Cancers, states:
"All cancers are alike. They are all caused by a parasite. A single parasite! It is the human intestinal fluke. And if you kill this parasite, the cancer stops immediately. The tissue becomes normal again. In order to get cancer, you must have this parasite ...."
My friend started to follow the prescriptions of practitioner Hennrik Dalsmund, Denmark, for cleanses and zapping in order to rid herself of the flukes.
The practitioner told her, that her beloved pets maybe were the cause of her cancer by infecting her with the parasite! He urged her to get the animals (5 dogs, 4 cats and birds) out of the house. She managed to place all the animals with others, except 2 dogs, which were also treated with the zapper! I must tell that she was single, and her pets were her whole life and heart. She had a limited circle of friends, whom all have dogs, cats and other animals. She therefore could not visit them, nor ask them to visit her, because she was afraid of being re-infected! Even her mother, who took care of her, could not bring her dogs, they had to be placed with others too. She and her mother ended up sitting very much alone - and THAT I find to be really cruel! Taking away a terminal person's last joy of life, and placing a false hope for full recovery.
The practitioner claimed at her first visit that he could cure her cancer for sure! She paid him at least $800 for capsules, tinctures, zappers and the full Monty. She followed the protocol by the letter, ate organic food, and changed her soap and hygiene articles to organic products.
After she had finished the chemo and radiation treatments, she started to work again, but shortly (½ year) after she was diagnosed with a recurrence of the cancer, which had now spread to her lungs and liver, in spite of what Hulda Clark claims!!
She was now only offered palliative and prolonging care (chemo therapy), as recidivistic breast cancers are considered non-treatable and incurable.
She again turned to the HC-practitioner, who once again claimed he could cure her, and he would now use a real strong cure! (She received chemo at the same time.)
We talked a lot with her about the HC-concept. I was very critical. She said that HC was her only hope - and did I want to cut her off from that? NO, but I certainly didn't like seeing her being exploited and maybe hurting herself by consuming all those herbs and capsules, of which some are known to be poisonous. They sure made her vomit a lot, and spoiled her appetite! And thereby stole the good which proper nutrition could have given her.
No matter what, she continued on the HC-protocol all by the letter - she hadn't read the book though, she didn't have the energy to do so. She blindly trusted the HC-practitioner, and as "HC is a doctor and has written several books, she must be sincere!"
She also continued to visit the HC-practitioner, and when she told him that she had refused the last chemo-treatment the hospital could offer her - just about a week before she passed away - he answered: "I am glad about that, it gives us a chance to fill in"
One Friday she was taken to the hospital suffering from severe lack of oxygen due to the cancer having spread to the lung tissue. Tuesday I visited her, and watched her zapping, both her and the dogs, and she swallowed a bunch of capsules.
She had an appointment with the HC-practitioner a few days later - she didn't make it.
Hanne died Monday night, Jan. 15, 2001.
God bless her soul.

This is a reply to # 845,026One obvious thing that goes ignored here, as if it doesn't matter, is that Hanne was undergoing chemotherapy (AND radiation treatments!!!) throughout her bout with cancer. The whole point of chemotherapy is to kill the cancer cells before killing the non-cancerous cells using poisons, the very kinds of substances that Clark forbids. Where in Clark's writings does she ever once say "by the way, do this *while* you're on chemo for best results"? She doesn't. Ever.
So how can Pia claim with a straight face that her friend Hanne followed Clark's protocol to the letter?
Doing chemotherapy while performing Clark's protocol is NOT following Clark's protocol.
The chemotherapy and radiation treatments didn't work, either, did they? It wasn't until Hanne's last week that she rejected the last chemotherapy dose, right? Where is Pia's indignation over the failings of modern medicine here? The chemotherapy and radiation were false hopes, too. Yet Pia's mad at Clark?
The best that modern medicine had to offer, and it failed her -- not only by not working, but also by interfering with the Clark protocol.
One other obvious flaw is that Hanne "changed her soap and hygiene articles to organic products". This is also not really following Clark's protocol. In Clark's protocol, you do away with products entirely. While a product might be made of "organic" ingredients (whatever that means these days), the whole point of avoiding products is to avoid the minute contamination that occurs due to the processing of the products. It's not the pesticide used on the herbs, it's the isopropyl alcohol and other substances used to clean the packaging equipment that Clark upbraids. So, again, Hanne was not following Clark's protocol. She was following some unnamed "HC-practitioner"'s Clark-Like protocol.
This "practitioner" should be the focus of Pia's ire, if any belongs anywhere. This practitioner is guilty of false advertising, at the very least, for suggesting that he's an "HC-practitioner" when he clearly is not. He should never have agreed to work with Hanne while she was under the care of medical doctors. Never. As you can see, when it fails, who gets blamed? Not the medical doctors. Instead, Clark gets blamed for something she didn't even do.
If you want to fault Clark, please actually find someone who has followed Clark's real protocol and had it fail, OK? Please?Advertisement

This is a reply to # 845,026Pia, I understand how it felt to lost a friend. I almost lost mine too.
From your story, it seem that your friend did not really follow Clark protocol.
Chemo, Radiation, Surgery, and Clark protocol don't mix as stated in her book.
When come to advance cancer, no one would want to follow alternative until its too late. Especially cancer, mainstream doctor will scare the hell out of the patient and their families.
The main tactic is, if you don't do surgery, chemo, radiation thread, even though they know that it didn't really work. I have friend who gone cutting off arms, leg, a certain organ remove, eyes and so on. They look so deform after their doctor visit. Dr. don't give a damn how deform it as long they got the $$$. They even add, as long you can still live statement.

This is a reply to # 845,026I know that there are a lot of Clark fans in CureZone, but that does not alter the fact that she is a charlatan who engaged in unethical practices to prey on her patients for the sake of making a buck (actually quite a few bucks).
Yes, she did get SOME things right in "A Cure for All Cancers", although I have to agree with Dr. Ray Sahelian when he labels it " a pitiful book". Likewise, her protocol has SOME good things in it such as the diet cleanup and liver flush which could help beat cancer. However, her parasite claims are absurd and her Synchrometer is the kind of voodoo nonsense that enables the FDA and mainstream quackbusters to label legitimate natural and alternative treatments with the same brush Clark handed them a bucket full of paint for.
No matter how friendly you may be with Clark, whether her protocol might have worked for you or someone you know, whether she was transported across the state in her robe or her birthday suit, or how much you might tend to sympathize, as I do, with anyone the FDA comes against, her record speaks for itself.
Although Wikipedia is not always the source of the most accurate information, in the case of Doctor Clark, who received a correspondence course degree in naturopathy from an unaccredited college, their information checks out to be quite accurate (so before anyone lets emotions or prejudices holds sway, or condemns the following information simply because they don't like where it came from, check out the annotated references first! Facts are facts, no matter where you find them):
Legal issues
In 1993, while Clark lived and practiced in Indiana, a former patient complained to the Indiana attorney general. An investigator for the Indiana Department of Health and a deputy attorney general visited her office incognito as part of a sting operation. Clark proceeded to test the investigator and "told him he had the HIV virus [sic], but said that he did not have cancer." She told the investigator that she could cure his HIV in 3 minutes, but that he would "get it back" unless he committed to returning for six more appointments. She then ordered blood tests from a laboratory. Upon learning of the undercover investigators' status, Clark stated that everything she had told them had been a "mistake".[13]
In September 1999, Clark was found and arrested in San Diego, California, based on a fugitive warrant from Indiana. She was returned to Indiana to stand trial, where she was charged with practicing medicine without a license. The charge was later dismissed for failure of speedy trial. The judge's verdict did not address the merits of the charges but only the issue of whether the delay had compromised Clark's ability to mount a defense and her right to a speedy trial.[2]
In February 2001, Mexican authorities inspected Clark's Century Nutrition clinic and ordered it shut down, as the clinic had never registered and was operating without a license. In June 2001, the Mexican authorities announced that the clinic would be permitted to reopen, but was prohibited from offering "alternative" treatments. The clinic was also fined 160,000 pesos (about $18,000), and Clark was barred from working in Mexico, even as a consultant; however, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported in 2003 that there was evidence that Clark continued to work at the clinic.[11]
Evaluation of claims and criticism
Hulda Clark has been criticized because her claims lack scientific validity and consist of anecdotal evidence. Joseph Pizzorno, a prominent naturopathic physician, evaluated Clark's claims and found that her books mixed patients with conventionally diagnosed cancer with those whose cancer diagnosis was based solely on her use of the "Syncrometer". The patients with medically diagnosed cancer did not respond to Clark's treatment, while those she had diagnosed using the "Syncrometer" were "cured". Pizzorno concluded that Clark's treatments were ineffective and that treatments based on Clark's recommendations "pose a substantive public health danger".[14]
The Swiss Study Group for Complementary and Alternative Methods in Cancer (SCAC) issued a strong warning to cancer patients considering Clark's methods:[15]
There is no scientific basis for Hulda Clark's hypotheses and recommendations, including her suggested treatments. The parasite Fasciolopsis buskii does in fact exist, but only in Asian countries, so that an infection in our country is ruled out. Consequently, this parasite does not enter into consideration as a cause of the numerous cases of cancer in the Western countries; at most, it might be one of several causes of liver cancer (and only for this type of cancer) in the Asian countries. As a whole, Clark's thesis cannot be comprehended, nor is it proven. In individual cases, her advice can be very extensive and costly. Hence if patients do not apply her method consistently and their disease continues to progress, they run the risk of attempting to blame themselves for this, rather than Clark's treatment which is ineffective, as viewed at present.
Prominent alternative medicine proponent Andrew Weil has written, "No studies have backed up [Clark's] bizarre claims, and it’s unclear whether the cancer patients she’s supposedly cured ever had cancer to begin with."[16]
In 2002, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported that Clark and her son Geoff operated a restaurant and leased housing for patients at Clark's Tijuana clinic. The article described a couple whose daughter, suffering from spinal muscular atrophy, was treated for 10 months by Clark at a cost of approximately $30,000 without improvement. Despite the cost and lack of improvement, the couple stated that Clark insisted she was close to curing the child, and that stopping treatment might endanger her.[2] The patient's mother stated: People don’t understand why we stayed so long, but Hulda Clark did a very good job of preying on us.
While stating she could not respond to the parents' allegations on grounds of patient confidentiality, Clark denied their statements in general.[2]References:

Hi Pia,
First of all Hanne was lucky to have a good friend like you who really cared for her. What a terrible and frustrating story. I know of two elderly women who refused medical treatment for their cancer, preferring "alternative medicine". One of them, an otherwise healthy, vital woman is now dead. What she believed was a bedbug bite on her breast turned out to be a Breast Cancer lesion. She suffered for several weeks feeling progressively worse until she collapsed and went to the hospital where she died within a day of admission from this too far advanced cancer.
Another woman, who "didn't want all that toxic chemo" in her body was nursing a tumor on her liver so large one side of her body was distended and it was pressing on her lung. She too is now dead.
MInd you there are a lot of natural remedies that really help people get better - but sometimes modern medicine needs to be used.
My mother came down with acute myelogenous leukemia at age 59. Her doctor misdiagnosed it as anemia and by the time she collapsed and was admitted to the hospital one Easter her red blood cells were so depleted she was given a 50/50 chance of actually making it.
She endured weeks of rigorous chemotherapy - but she also researched visualization techniques developed by a Dr. Simington (not sure about the spelling). She followed the medical protocol, mind you, went back for all her chemo treatments but religiously listened to hypnosis tapes where she visualized the cancer leaving her body. She was also a very positive person who really believed she could fight and win. The leukemia did not recur but a few years later a malignant lump was found in her breast. She underwent a lumpectomy and more chemo with regular check-ups. She continued to use the visualation tapes religiously.
What happened? She went into a COMPLETE REMISSION. The cancer NEVER came back! I am convinced this was partly due to the nature of the cancer (it did not involve a major organ, did not go into the bones, etc), the medical treatment she received - yes folks - radiation therapy and chemo - and her own will to live. I do believe the visualization tapes helped her.
She finally passed away many years later from an illness completely unrelated to her cancer.
I do believe alternative cures can help and in some cases prevent diseases. I find the Liver Flushes and coffee enemas very beneficial and am following these protocols to alleviate my own NASH (non-alcoholic fatty liver). Sometimes, however, there is no choice but to go with standard treatments, even if they "sound bad". Sometimes they really work, sometimes nothing works - a hard thing for people to accept.
Bilking a sick woman for money with quack treatments and forcing her to give up her pets is inexcusable behavior. If nothing else the pets would have made her happy and made her feel less alone. Was that really necessary?
Thank you for telling this story, Pia. It took a lot of courage to post that here but people need to hear it.
