PAID ADVERTISEMENT Can We End Cancer, MRSA, MS, RA, Fibromyalgia, And Chronic Pain? New methods of cleansing and detoxifying the body have now been found that make it possible to remove wastes, chemicals and toxins from the tissues faster and better than ever before. The results have been so encouraging that it appears these new methods might easily put an end to such chronic modern diseases as cancer, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, MRSA and others. If you cleanse your body in time by using these new detoxifying procedures, you are much more likely to prevent health problems or recover from any condition you may already have. To gain some needed perspective, it’s highly recommended that you read the book CONQUERING CANCER by Susan Gorkosky. This book will give you a detailed understanding of these exciting new procedures. In her book, Susan explains how she recovered from inoperable brain cancer after she was told she was terminal and nothing more could be done for her. Brain tumors appear to respond to these cleansing procedures better than any other condition. For instance, another patient, a little girl only three years of age, was also declared terminal by one of the largest cancer institutes, whose specialists said they had had thousands of cases like her and had not been able to save anyone. The little girl had a large brain tumor. When the detoxifying methods were first applied, she was semiconscious and had eaten nothing for three days. Within a few hours after she began to be cleansed, she started to eat and drink, and she has been improving steadily. She is now four years old. By using these same methods, many other patients apparently have recovered from several types of cancer, MRSA, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and various other conditions. The most important devices used in these new procedures for cleansing the body are: the imprinter, the low-level laser, the ionic foot bath, infrared domes and others. The imprinter immediately clears the body of infections, parasites and chemicals. As a result it makes MRSA and other infectious conditions impossible. The low-level laser neutralizes or removes the metals which are implicated in causing cancer and other chronic modern diseases. The ionic foot bath, when used together with the electrical stimulator, is a wonderful way of cleansing the body of all kinds of wastes. IMPORTANT NOTE: The reader should clearly understand that none of these new methods are meant to be used as substitutes for conventional medical practices. Anyone under the treatment of a medical doctor should continue as long as he or she is receiving positive results.
