of the cellular metabolism 

• Vitamins 

• Minerals 

• Trace elements 

• Amino acids 

Micronutrients 

(= cellular nutrients) 

provide the ‘ignition’ 

for the cellular 

metabolism 

The bioenergy for the cellular metabolism is produced 

in the mitochondria (the cells’ power stations) 

Cellular nutrients are the main 

suppliers of energy for the 

cellular metabolism without 

which life would be 

impossible. 

Regardless of the cell type, 

cellular nutrients are also 

needed for a wide variety of 

biochemical reactions. 

A chronic deficiency of 

cellular nutrients is the most 

common cause of poor 

cellular function and the main 

cause of common endemic 

diseases such as heart 

disease and cancer.

The most important cellular nutrients 

The foundations of a healthy life are a healthy lifestyle, 

healthy nutrition and a good supply of vital cellular nutrients. 

Cellular nutrients are natural substances which are needed 

continuously by the billions of cells in our bodies for 

survival and optimum functioning. The most important 

cellular nutrients are: 

• Vitamins 

• Minerals 

• Trace elements 

• Certain amino acids 

• Other natural substances important for the metabolism. 

7

The benefits of combining cellular nutrients 

To attain the maximum possible health benefit from taking cellular nutrients, 

Cellular Medicine exploits the fact that cellular nutrients work in teams in our 

bodies. 

What our bodies need is not high doses of individual vitamins or 

micronutrients but rather special combinations of cellular nutrients which 

work together to create synergies, so that the greatest possible benefits for 

healthy cellular functioning are derived from small quantities. 

No synergy 


Synergy 

Synergy means that the end 

result is better than the sum 

of the individual parts. 

1 + 1 = more than 2 

Synergies occur when several 

mechanisms are involved 

simultaneously.

The pre-eminent role of vitamin C! 

A vitamin C molecule under the microscope 

Our bodies themselves cannot 

produce a single milligram of 

vitamin C. 

Of all the cellular nutrients, vitamin C is the most important single 

substance. Vitamin C helps prevent cardiovascular disease and also plays a 

vital role in the natural treatment of cancer and immune deficiency diseases. 

11

Professor Albert Szent-György 


1937: Nobel Prize for vitamin C 

As long as 65 years ago a 

Nobel Prize was awarded for 

the discovery of the pre-eminent 

role of vitamin C in maintaining 

a healthy cellular metabolism. 

12


The founding of Cellular Medicine 

Professor Pauling (†1994) with Dr Rath. 

Dr Rath was one of the closest scientific colleagues 

and personal friends of the double Nobel laureate. 

Professor Pauling prophesied that the scientific 

discoveries of his colleague would one day be 

recognised as among the most important discoveries 

of the 20th Century. 

It was Professor Pauling’s express wish that Dr Rath 

should carry on his life’s work in vitamin research. 

Cellular Medicine applies to the field of 

medicine, knowledge from the fields of 

biology and biochemistry about the 

importance of vitamins in the cellular 

metabolism. Pioneers of vitamin research 

such as Professor Linus Pauling 

paved the way. 

The foundations of vitamin research were 

brought together by Dr Rath to create the 

comprehensive theory of Cellular Medicine 

which can be applied in combating almost 

all common endemic diseases. 

The Health Alliance Research Institute 

founded by him in California is the world 

leader in the further development of 

Cellular Medicine and in the battle against 

common endemic diseases.

and Cancer 

Why cancer is no longer a death sentence! 

15


The devastating consequences of the 

pharmaceutical business with cancer 

Dundee 

Oxford 

Swindon 

Huddersfield Blackpool 

In the UK alone over 150,000 men 

and women die of cancer every year. 

This corresponds to the population 

of whole towns & cities such as 

Oxford, Dundee, Swindon, 

Huddersfield and Blackpool . 

Thus, more than 1.5 million people 

in the UK have been sacrificed to 

the “pharmaceutical business with 

cancer” in the last ten years. 

And that is despite the fact that 

cancer is largely preventable … 

16


The shocking balance sheet 

for pharmaceutical research 

Over the past 30 years over 200 billion euros has been spent 

on cancer research by pharmaceutical companies and 

taxpayers, without a single effective treatment being found! 

The pharmaceutical industry employs over 55,000 cancer 

researchers who have been searching for effective anticancer 

drugs for decades. Dozens of Nobel Prizes have been 

awarded to pharmaceutical industry cancer researchers 

and despite it all cancer continues to spread! 

17


Cancer represents a market worth billions 

Did you know that the pharmaceutical industry‘s second 

biggest market is the final few months in the life of 

a cancer patient? 

This market includes: 

• the billion-pound market in chemotherapy drugs 

• the billion-pound markets in painkillers, cortisone and 

other pharmaceutical preparations created in order to 

combat the severe side effects of highly-toxic 

chemotherapy drugs. 

18


The pharmaceutical industry has no 

interest in finding a cure for cancer 

because the continuation of the 

cancer epidemic earns it hundreds 

of billions of euros every year!

These are x-rays taken of Werner 

Pilniok. At the age of 70 he was 

diagnosed as having a lung 

tumour (see upper and bottom 

left x-ray images). 

Herr Pilniok opted for a 

programme of natural cancer 

defence with cellular nutrients. 

After a 7 month cellular nutrient 

programme there was no longer 

any trace of the lung tumour (see 

bottom right x-ray). 

This was several years ago now. 

Today Herr Pilniok remains in the 

best of health.

The case of Herr Pilniok is by no 

means an isolated one. Today this 

form of biological cancer defence has 

helped many people all round the 

world to slow down their cancer or 

even defeat it entirely. Here are just 

two examples from our files: 

Upper images: Frau Schmidt was 

diagnosed with a brain tumour at the 

age of 50. After a 5-month cellular 

nutrient programme the tumour had 

disappeared without trace. 

Lower images: Frau Moschik’s bone 

tumour (metastasis from a lymphoma) 

had disappeared without trace after a 

5-month cellular nutrient programme.

Head of research: 

Dr A. Niedzwiecki 


Cancer is no longer a death sentence! 

The Dr Rath Research 

Institute for Cellular Medicine 

in California is the world 

leader in the field of natural 

cancer treatment. 

It is funded exclusively by 

money from our Health 

Alliance. 

The research findings of our Institute for Cellular 

Medicine clearly document that every type of cancer cell 

we have researched can be stopped in its tracks by 

cellular nutrients. These include: 

• Lung cancer 

• Breast cancer 

• Prostate cancer 

• Intestinal cancer 

• Liver cancer 

• Skin cancer 

• Pancreatic cancer 

• Bone cancer 

• Connective tissue cancer 

(fibrosarcoma) 

• Oesophageal cancer 

• and other cancer types 

However, this is no 

guarantee of a successful 

cure in every case, 

especially if 

• the cancer is already at 

an advanced stage 

• the patient's immune 

system has suffered 

prior damage due to 

chemotherapy courses 

22

Connective tissue 

fibres (collagen) 


How cancer cells spread 

Collagen-destroying 

enzyme 

• Cancer cells produce biological cutting 

tools, or enzymes, with the help of which 

they cut through the surrounding 

connective tissue in order to proliferate 

through the body, rather like a jungle 

expedition hacking its way through the 

undergrowth with the aid of machetes. 

• All types of cancer, regardless of the 

organ they originate in, use this 

mechanism in order to spread. 

• The more enzymes are produced by a 

given type of cancer the more malignant 

the cancer will be and the shorter the 

patient’s life expectancy. 

23

Original tumour in 

the liver 


How cancer spreads through the body 

Liver cancer cell 

breaking out Blood vessel 

in the liver 

The destruction of collagen is also key to the spread of 

cancer and the formation of tumours in other bodily 

organs, a process known as metastasis. 

1. Stages of metastasis: 

With the aid of the collagen-destroying enzymes, 

cancer cells eat their way into a blood vessel and are 

transported through the body by the bloodstream 

until they reach other organs such as the lungs. 

2. Stages of metastasis: 

With the aid of the same collagen-destroying enzymes, 

cancer cells eat their way back out of the blood vessel 

and enter the organ’s tissues. 

Lung metastasis: 

The liver cancer cell proliferates to form a 

new tumour in the lung. 

The more collagen-destroying enzymes a type of 

cancer produces the more likely metastasis is and the 

more malignant the cancer. 

24

Lysine = inhibition of tissue breakdown 

Vitamin C = aids tissue growth 

Neither molecule can be produced by our 

bodies. 


How cellular nutrients block cancer cells 

• Vitamin C, the natural amino acid 

lysine and the polyphenols found 

in green tea are capable of blocking 

cancer cells’ collagen-destroying 

enzymes. 

• The spread of cancer chiefly depends 

on the destruction of the surrounding 

connective tissue (collagen). 

Blockading the collagen-destroying 

enzymes can prevent the spread of 

cancer cells. 

An optimum supply of vitamin C, 

lysine and other cellular nutrients 

is a scientifically-proven way of 

treating cancer biologically. 

25


Scientific proof of cancer cell blockade 

No cellular nutrients: 

cells penetrate the tissue 

Vessel A Vessel B 

Collagen 

matrix 

Breast cancer cells 

Cellular nutrients present: 

invasion of cells stopped 

A: No cellular nutrients 

added (100% spread) 

B: Addition of small dose 

of cellular nutrients 

(spread inhibited 60%) 

C: Addition of optimum 

high doses of cellular 

nutrients (spread 

inhibited 100%) 

Scientific experiments were conducted at the 

Dr Rath Research Institute involving cancer 

cells, cellular nutrients and collagen. 

The cancer cells in Vessel A (no cellular 

nutrients) were capable of destroying the 

collagen matrix. The cancer cells in Vessel B 

(containing selected cellular nutrients) were 

unable to penetrate the collagen matrix. 

The images to the left show the ability of breast 

cancer cells to penetrate the connective tissue 

without cellular nutrients and with the addition 

of cellular nutrients. 

Image A (control with no cellular nutrients) 

shows uncontrolled proliferation, whereas 

Image B (small dose of nutrients) shows 

significant inhibition, while the spread of 

breast cancer cells was halted 100% after the 

addition of an optimum high-dose combination 

of cellular nutrients. 

26

Tissue destruction Tissue healing 

Collagendestroying 

enzymes 


Lysine prevents the destruction 

of connective tissue 

Lysine inhibits 

tissue-breakdown 

Additional 

supply of 

Lysine 

In the bodies of cancer patients the balance 

between tissue destruction and tissue healting 

has tipped in favour of destruction. 

Supplementing the diets of cancer patients 

with a plentiful suppy of lysine is particularly 

important because: 

1. As with Vitamin C, our bodies cannot 

produce their own Lysine. 

2. In the bodies of cancer patients too 

many collagen-destroying enzymes 

are present and these deplete the 

body‘s supply of lysine. 

3. Supplying the body additional Lysin 

restores the balance.

in treating cancer 

• Active principle: to support and 

reinforce cellular functioning 

• Cause-oriented: cancer brought to a 

standstill at cellular level 

• Natural

• Expensive due to the patent royalties 

which are the driving force of the 

pharmaceutical business with cancer 

• Cancer a billion-pound market which is 

deliberately not being eradicated 

• Principal goal: profits for 

pharmaceutical investment business

Why cancer was previously a death sentence 


Because ... 

• hitherto, medical science had a limited understanding 

of the cellular mechanisms of cancer cell proliferation 

• as a result, the targeted blocking of the proliferation 

of cancer cells was not possible 

Because ... 

Why cancer is so aggressive 

• cancer cells outwit the body’s defences 

• cancer cells ‘abuse’ healthy cell functions 

to disguise themselves 

29


Why cancer of the womb is so common 

Egg cell 

A previously unsolved question was why certain kinds of 

cancer, for instance cancer of the womb in women, are so 

much more common than other kinds. Here too, Cellular 

Medicine has the answer: 

• Triggered by the rise in hormone levels in the middle 

of the female reproductive cycle, collagen-destroying 

enzymes are produced and these in turn trigger ovulation. 

• The egg cell eats through the wall of the ovary with 

the aid of collagen-consuming enzymes. Within seconds 

the tissue begins to heal. 

• The cells of the ovary, womb, etc., thus use collagendestruction 

as part of the woman’s menstrual cycle. 

• However, if these cells degenerate they may produce 

excessive quantities of enzymes in uncontrolled fashion, 

and that is why ovarian and womb cancer are so common.

Breakthrough in the natural combating of cancer 

Manuscript page from the scientific work 

of Dr Rath (1991) which led to the 

breakthrough in our understanding of 

cancer. 


• Over 15 years ago Dr Rath’s scientific 

work laid the foundations for the breakthrough 

in the natural combating of cancer. 

• He discovered how to block cancer 

enzymes by natural means. 

• Back then Dr Rath predicted that, if 

his findings were confirmed, cancer would 

cease to be a death sentence for future 

generations. 

This forecast has now become reality!

A selection of the medical journals which have 

published the findings of our research institute. 

Worldwide recognition 

of our scientific work 

The plain fact is: 

Nobody in the world has produced more 

research findings in the field of biological 

defences against cancer than our Research 

Institute. (www.dr-rath-research.org) 

Our researchers also present these findings 

regularly at international cancer congresses. 

Our Research Institute‘s website is one of 

the most frequently-visited websites in the 

world in the field of scientifically-based 

natural therapies. 

All the work of our Research Institute is 

funded by our Health Alliance: we are 

independent of the pharmaceutical 

industry and do not receive any state or 

private research money. 

32

8.3.2002: full-page announcement in 

USA Today 


The whole world has long 

known the truth: 

Dr Rath’s research team published this 

attestation of the breakthrough in the fight 

against cancer on 8 th March 2002 in “USA 

Today” the largest circulation newspaper in 

the world. 

The clear, unambiguous scientific message 

was that vitamin C and other micronutrients 

are able to stop the spread of cancer cells. 

Thus the entire medical world has known 

since 8 th March 2002 – more than 5 years ago 

– that cancer is no longer a death sentence. 

However, it was over three years before the 

world’s largest research institute could also 

no longer deny the truth ... 

33

September 2005 – The largest research institute worldwide confirms: 

Vitamins kill cancer cells! 

After the NIH, the largest research institute worldwide 

confirmed officially that cancer is no longer a death 

sentence, then : 

1. For every doctor: If you do not recommend vitamins 

to a cancer patient you endanger his life! 

2. For every journalist: If you deny the benefits of 

vitamins to health any longer you commit a felony! 


Researchers at the National Institutes 

of Health (NIH) confirm the findings of 

vitamin research and Cellular Medicine: 

vitamins kill cancer cells while leaving 

healthy cells unharmed! 

The US National Institutes of 

Health in Maryland, USA, is a 

complex the size of an entire 

city devoted to research 

34

Vitamins are 

discovered 

1920 

For millennia cancer was a death sentence and 

for almost a century the investment-based 

pharmaceutical industry has made billions from 

this deadly disease. It sells patients 

chemotherapy, using chemicals highly toxic to 

cells which principally bring about still more 

cancer and still more pharmaceutical business 

with the disease.

New era in cancer therapy dawns 

All future generations 

The possible value of vitamins in the fight against 

cancer has been a talking point since the 1950s. 

In 1991 Dr Rath laid the scientific foundations for 

the natural control of cancer. In 2002 news of the 

breakthrough was first published. Then in 2005 

came the confirmation from the NIH. 

From now on, cancer is no longer a death sentence! 

Who brought about this new era? 

35


We did, 

the Dr Rath Health Alliance, 

through our 

• research 

• educational work 

... and we did so against determined 

resistance … 

36

How they tried to prevent the breakthrough in 

the battle against cancer 

Campaign of lies in the Dominik case: 

Are you aware of the defamatory ARD/SWR (German public service TV) film 

entitled “The Dominik case: the business with fear?” Turning the facts on their 

head, this depicted our Health Alliance, the only not-for-profit business in the 

health-care sector, as on a par with rapacious pharmaceutical companies! 

This scurrilous film was trailed on 20 September 2005, just six days after the 

US National Health Institute’s confirmation of Dr Rath’s findings. Plainly it was 

an immediate reaction to the breakthrough in vitamin research: the aim was to 

deliberately cast doubt in the minds of millions of people! 

The myth propagated in this film that there was a tumour in Dominik’s left lung 

has now been revealed as a lie: the entire left lung has disappeared from the 

Mainz pathologist’s laboratory - ‘experts’ who have close links with the 

pharmaceutical industry. Dominik’s parents have been forced to go to court 

to have the organs released! 


The people behind this campaign of lies 

37


Even public service television was abused 

Peter Voß, outgoing 

director of the ARD 

channel SWR 

The person responsible for the defamatory Dominik film was SWR 

director Peter Voß. For two decades Voß was the media ally in ZDF 

and ARD of Chancellor Kohl, whose links with the pharmaceutical 

industry have been well documented. 

While the film was being made the public prosecutors had for more 

than four years been investigating Voß for corruption and taking 

advantage of his office. Where did the money come from? Was it 

from the same sources as the finances of Helmut Kohl, which are 

shrouded in secrecy to this day? 

Under public pressure Voß announced at the start of 2006 that he 

would be taking early retirement in 2007, obviously in order to induce 

the public prosecutors and general public to give him an easy ride. 

Since then the case has been dropped, not because Voß has been 

proven innocent, but due to “lack of evidence”. 

In light of these murky dealings we may ask: how independent are our media? 

Isn’t it high time, in the interest of the health of millions of people, that these 

machinations came to an end? 

It is scandalous that the public is forced to finance this deceit through the license fees 

we pay for public service television. 

38


Bild’s campaign of lies uncovered 

Bild Zeitung (a German tabloid newspaper) 

another ringleader in the campaign of lies 

against the breakthrough in the fight against 

cancer, was forced by court order to retract 

their many lies! 

At the same time it was revealed 

that the chief executive of the 

Springer Group which owns Bild 

Zeitung and of the largest 

manufacturers of chemotherapy 

drugs (Schering) is one and the 

same person: the Sicilian 

Giuseppe Vita. 

Schering has now been sold and Bild 

Zeitung is struggling in vain to regain its 

lost credibility. 

Guiseppe Vita 

39

How despairing the lying rag BILD now is 

can be seen from its current image campaign 


After spending two years fighting 

the truth about the possible victory 

over cancer with every means at its 

disposal, BILD is now trying to pose 

as a champion of the truth. 

Obviously the Dominik case has 

plunged BILD into the greatest 

credibility crisis in its history. 

However, the nationwide PR campaign 

through which BILD is attempting to 

restore its damaged image is only 

making matters worse. 

Millions of people now realise what 

BILD’s true function is: 

manipulation of public opinion 

amounting to brainwashing. 

40

Now we decide: 


• how long highly toxic chemotherapy 

drugs are sold to cancer patients to 

give them hope in their fight against 

cancer. 

• how many more patients must die 

during or as a result of chemotherapy. 

• how much longer a child with cancer 

(like Dominik) will die every day while 

undergoing chemo-‘therapy’, and either 

Voß nor Bild will report a word of it. 

… until we join together to save these lives!

and Cardiovascular 

Disease 

Cellular nutrients to protect against heart attack, 

stroke and other cardiovascular diseases 

42

The devastating consequences of the pharmaceutical 

business with cardiovascular diseases 


Leeds Bradford 

Liverpool Sheffield 

In the UK alone almost half 

a million men and women 

die every year from heart 

attacks and strokes. 

The number of people who 

fall victim to the pharmaceutical 

business with cardiovascular 

disease corresponds to the 

population of a city approximately 

the size of Liverpool . 

And that is despite the fact that 

today cardiovascular diseases are 

largely preventable! 

43

Cellular Medicine’s breakthrough 

in treating heart attack and stroke 

The evidence: 


Before After 

This CT image of arteriosclerotic deposits in the coronary arteries 

of a 51-year old patient before starting to take cellular nutrient 

dietary supplements (above left) and after taking them for one 

year (above right). 

Regularly taking precisely balanced quantities of micronutrients 

dispersed the deposits by natural means to the point where there 

was no longer any trace of them. 

Arteriosclerosis – the cause of 

heart attacks and strokes – can 

be reversed by natural means. 

Heart attack and stroke 

– currently still the No. 1 

cause of death throughout 

Europe – will be largely 

unknown to future generations. 

44

Chronic lack of vitamin 

deficiency in the artery wall 


How arteriosclerosis develops 

• Instability of 

artery wall 

• Cracks and 

lesions filled by 

amongst other 

things, fatty 

deposits.

Helps

helps 

prevent 

Did you know that arteriosclerosis 

is an early form of the seafarers’ 

disease scurvy? 

Both diseases have the same cause: 

a vitamin C deficiency which makes 

artery walls fragile. 

Arteriosclerotic deposits are a 

bodily mechanism providing a kind 

of makeshift repair to stabilise the 

artery walls. 

An optimum intake of vitamin C 

and other cellular nutrients keeps 

artery wall cells functioning perfectly 

and helps prevent arteriosclerosis. 

45


Arteriosclerosis is an early form of scurvy 

Column A: 

An optimum intake of vitamin C leads to 

optimum collagen production and 

functioning. Stable blood vessel walls 

prevent the development of arteriosclerotic 

deposits known as plaque. 

Column B: 

Our diets normally contain just enough 

vitamin C to prevent full-blown scurvy. 

Hardly anyone consumes enough dietary 

vitamin C to keep the artery walls healthy 

and stable. The consequences are millions 

of tiny fissures and lesions on the internal 

walls of arteries and the formation of plaque 

Column C: 

The total exhaustion of all vitamin C 

reserves once typical of seafarers, leading 

to the destruction of the connective tissue 

throughout the body, including the blood 

vessels. People suffering from scurvy die 

within a few months from internal bleeding. 

46


Why a high cholesterol level 

does not cause arteriosclerosis 

Chronic cellular nutrient deficiency 

Artery wall 

weakened 

Arteriosclerosis 

develops 

For far too long the billion-pound pharmaceutical industry 

has artificially kept alive the claim that high blood levels 

of cholesterol and other risk factors damage artery walls, 

leading to arteriosclerotic deposits. 

Since the discovery of the link between scurvy and heart 

attacks, this assertion is no longer sustainable. 

A high cholesterol level is not the cause of arteriosclerotic 

plaque. In reality, the cause is a chronic deficiency of 

cellular nutrients which weakens the artery walls and 

makes them fragile. 

The discovery of the link between scurvy and heart 

attacks changed the world. 

Our attention can no longer be distracted by symptoms – 

such as a high cholesterol level – but should rather be 

directed at the truly decisive factor: the stability of the 

artery walls.

include cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins 

(LDLs), triglyceride and other metabolic 

products. 

This leads to increased blood fat levels. 

Thus increased blood fat levels are not the 

cause of cardiovascular diseases but rather the 

consequences of developing disease. They 

only become a problem if the blood vessel 

walls are already weakened by chronic cellular 

nutrient deficiency.

The view that Cholesterol lowering drugs 

prevents Heart Attack collapses !!!! 

On January 15, 2008, the New York Times and other international 

newspapers reported of a clinical study with a combination of two 

cholesterol lowering drugs (statins) that presented shocking results 

Patients receiving these drugs 

developed coronary artery plaques 

– the cause of heart attacks – twice 

as fast as the control group. 

Worse, the drug makers deliberately 

endangered the lives of 5 million people 

currently taking these statins by 

withholding this crucial information 

for almost 2 years. 

Statine sales are basesd on the misguided assumption, that high cholesterol levels are the cause 

of heart attacks. Pharmaceutical manufacturers earn more than 30 Billion Euro every year through 

this deception. 

49


Dr. Rath was right from the start !! 

cholesterol lowering drugs (statins) do not work by heart attacks and stroke... 

The „New York Times“ was careful in their wording about the far reaching global 

consequenzes of this study: „The results give reason to doubt the currently held belief that 

colesterol lowering drugs are the key to coronary health.“ 

The pharmaceutical drugs Ezetrol und Zocor are a 

perfect example of the unethical behaviour of the 

Pharmaceutical industry, who endanger the lives of 

millions of people with their deceitful, not verifiable, 

explanations. 

The members of our Health Alliance 

already know that the Cholesterol-Heartattack-doctrine 

is only a fairy tale that 

originated in the marketing departments 

of the pharmaceutical companies. 

More than a decade ago Dr. Rath provided 

scientific proof that the arbitrary measure 

of lowering cholesterol does not prevent 

heart attacks and stroke. 

If high cholesterol levels damaged 

the blood vessel walls would it then not 

occur in the entire region of the blood 

vessel system, and not just 

around the heart???

Why we don’t suffer from vein sclerosis 


– main cause of death – 

Vein sclerosis 

–unknown – 

We now also understand why we get arteriosclerosis 

but do not suffer from vein sclerosis. 

Veins only suffer from sclerosis if, for instance, one is 

used as a coronary bypass, in which case it effectively 

becomes an artery, and plaque may then form in it. 

If cholesterol caused atherosclerosis, it is blindingly 

obvious that the deposits would occur equally in 

arteries and veins. 

This represents clear, unequivocal proof that 

cholesterol could never be the principal cause of heart 

attacks. 

51


Blood filling phase 

- diastole - 

Coronary artery 

round and open 

Why we suffer heart attacks 

but not nose attacks! 

Heart attacks occur due to the confluence of two factors: 

1. Weakening of the artery walls: cellular nutrient deficiencies 

– particularly of vitamin C – lead to weakened arteries. 

2. Mechanical stress: every day the heart contracts more than 

100,000 times, pumping up to 10,000 litres of blood through 

the body. This continual pumping function means that the 

coronary arteries are the hardest-working part of the entire 

circulatory system.

Imagine treading on a garden 

hose 100,000 times a day. 

Whether the hose starts 

leaking depends on how 

elastic it is. 

It is just the same with your 

heart’s coronary arteries: 

The pressure exerted by the 

heartbeat cannot be avoided. 

But you can ensure that your 

artery walls stay elastic. 

52


Do you need even more proof? 

“The fact remains, however, that in none of the 

domestic species, with the rarest of exceptions, do 

animals develop arteriosclerotic disease of clinical 

significance. It appears that most of the pertinent 

pathological mechanisms operate in animals and 

that arteriosclerotic disease in them is not 

impossible; it just does not occur. If the reason for 

this could be found, it might cast some very useful 

light on the human disease.” 

Textbook of Veterinary Medicine, 

Professor H. A. Smith and Professor T. C. Jones 

• Most animals do not suffer from heart 

attacks because, unlike people, their own 

bodies can produce vitamin C. 

• Dogs, cats and other mammals produce 

up to 20 grams of vitamin C a day. These 

animals would have become extinct long 

ago if high doses of vitamin C were 

harmful. 

• Bears and other hibernating animals do 

not suffer from heart attacks despite 

blood cholesterol levels of 400 to 600 

mg/dl, because their artery walls are 

protected by vitamin C. 

• Nature itself has conducted the biggest of 

all studies into heart disease: billions of 

animals which synthesise their own 

vitamin C do not suffer from heart attacks. 

Only we humans and a few other species 

are susceptible to them.

The main symptoms of heart failure 

are shortage of breath and oedema 

(accumulation of fluid in body tissues). 

The cause is reduced heart pumping 

function caused by a deficiency of 

bioenergy in millions of heart muscle 

cells. 

The heart is our bodies’ engine and, 

like a car’s engine, it must be supplied 

with sufficient fuel. 

Vitamins and other cellular nutrients 

are the most important fuel ingredients, 

especially for heart muscle cells.

In 1931 a clinical study looked into the 

natural treatment of heart failure. The 

images opposite demonstrate that the 

heart’s size returned to normal after just 

three weeks of vitamin therapy. 

Thus a natural method of treating heart 

failure has been known for three-quarters 

of a century. Millions of heart failure 

patients have paid with their lives for the 

suppression of this knowledge. 

Clinical pilot study with cellular 

nutrients confirms findings: 

We were able to confirm these findings 

through a pilot study using cellular 

nutrients: 

8 out of 10 patients experienced improved 

health because the cellular nutrients helped 

improve their hearts’ pumping action. 

55


Cellular Medicine: 

new perspectives on heart failure 

Pharmaceutical medicine offers no treatment 

of the causes of heart failure because 

disseminating information of the true causal 

connections would jeopardise their global 

market. 

That is why pharmaceutical medicine’s 

remedy for this disease is organ 

replacement, i.e., heart transplants. 

Cellular nutrients supply 

cellular energy to billions 

of heart muscle cells 

The heart muscle is 

made up of billions of 

such cells. 

In most cases replenishing the energy reserves 

of billions of heart muscle cells with vitamins 

and other cellular nutrients eradicates the root 

cause of heart failure. 

An optimum supply of cellular nutrients is the 

medicine of the future for heart failure. 

56


Replace the engine or fill up the tank? 

Fill her up! 

You need a 

new engine! 

In many cases recommending a heart transplant is like a car mechanic 

recommending changing your car’s engine when the only problem is 

that you’ve run out of petrol.

Cardiac arrhythmia is often caused by

malfunctioning of the formation and

In sufferers this is manifest in 

symptoms such as confusion, racing

The most important cellular nutrients

The main cause of high blood pressure 

is chronic deficiency of vitamins and 

other cellular nutrients in billions of cells 

in the artery walls. 

This deficiency leads to the tensing 

and thickening of the artery wall, in 

turn causing rising blood pressure. 

Reducing artery wall tension increases 

the internal diameter of blood vessels 

and thus reduces blood pressure. 

In healthy individuals normal wall tension 

is maintained by optimum production of 

relaxing factors in the cells of the artery 

walls. Cellular nutrients are responsible 

for producing these factors. 

In high blood pressure patients there 

is a deficiency of these “relaxing” factors.

Left-hand column = healthy individual: 

The endothelial barrier cells in the blood vessel walls 

contain myriad cellular pumps whose purpose is to shift 

sugar and vitamin C from the bloodstream into the blood 

vessel walls. In healthy individuals these pumps transport 

the optimum quantity of vitamin C and sugar molecules. 

Central column = diabetics: 

The high blood sugar level overloads the cell wall pumps 

with sugar molecules and simultaneously forces out 

vitamin C molecules. This leads to deposition of sugar in 

the cells of the blood vessel walls (and elsewhere). As the 

walls are also no longer receiving sufficient vitamin C, the 

result is the pathological thickening known as diabetic 

atherosclerosis. 

Right-hand column =

Vitamin C plays a key role in preventing diabetic

AIDS is not 

necessarily the 

same as HIV 

infection! 

(more on this later) 

68

HIV is not the sole cause of immune deficiency 

diseases and AIDS 

1. Millions of people in the Third World died of immune 

deficiency diseases and their consequences long before the 

AIDS epidemic struck. 

2. Only a portion of those infected with HIV ever develop fullblown 

AIDS. 

3. Only a portion of the people suffering from immune deficiency 

diseases can be shown to be infected with the HI virus (HIV). 

While the causes of AIDS continue not to be fully clarified – and it is not 

recognised that micronutrient deficiency is the main cause of immune 

deficiency diseases, especially in the Third World – it is irresponsible to 

prescribe AIDS ‘chemotherapy’ as the compulsory treatment, whereby the 

immune deficiency is not eradicated but actually reinforced.

ARVs 

The pharmaceutical 

industry provides all 

HIV-infected people 

with ARV 

‘chemotherapy’, falsely 

promising that this will 

prevent AIDS. In fact 

the opposite is the 

case. 

100% of HIV patients who receive ARVs develop 

AIDS because ARVs 

destroy the immune system 

70

What the pharmaceutical 

industry makes of these 

facts: 

1. As many people as possible should 

be diagnosed as HIV-positive. To 

this end HIV diagnostic equipment 

was despatched to all corners of 

Africa. 

2. As many people as possible who 

have been diagnosed as HIV-positive 

must be given chemical AIDS 

preparations (ARVs) to allegedly 

cure AIDS. 

3. The surest way of inducing immune 

deficiency disease is to damage the 

immune system. And this is 

precisely what taking highly-toxic 

ARVs does. 


How we approach 

the facts: 

1. Our research approach is to 

strengthen the immune system with 

the help of micronutrients – 

irrespective of the cause of the 

immune deficiency. 

2. For HIV-positive patients: research 

findings show that vitamin C alone 

can almost completely block the 

proliferation of HIV. 

3. For patients with immune deficiency 

diseases: 

Research findings show that 

micronutrients are not only capable of 

blocking the spread of HIV but also 

other infectious diseases including 

tuberculosis.

Pharmaceutical ‘chemotherapy’

Malnutrition is a cause of AIDS 

Particularly in the Third World, malnutrition – and above all 

micronutrient deficiencies – is a decisive factor in the spread of the 

immune deficiency disease AIDS. 

The micronutrient deficiency is further 

exacerbated by the symptoms which 

characterise full-blown AIDS, such as 

chronic diarrhoea and weight loss, 

bouts of coughing, fever, and 

opportunistic infections such as 

tuberculosis. 

73


Micronutrients and controlling AIDS 

Our Health Alliance supports the 

fight against the AIDS epidemic by 

donating vitamins and through 

educational programmes in the 

poorest townships of South Africa. 

During one such health-care 

programme came the first evidence 

that vitamins can in many cases 

reverse even advanced AIDS 

symptoms. 

AIDS patients for whom the immune deficiency disease 

is no longer a death sentence. Just a few weeks after 

starting the micronutrient programme they could once 

again lead normal lives. 

None of them had taken any pharmaceutical AIDS 

preparations. They are determined to spread the word 

about their experiences. 

74

Micronutrients and controlling 

AIDS 

The micronutrients used in the Health Programme were a 

combination of vitamins, minerals and trace elements, amino 

acids and other micronutrients. 

The findings confirm that supplementing the diet with 

micronutrients represents an effective, safe and affordable way 

of halting the worldwide spread of AIDS. 

From now on micronutrients are available as a major component 

in public health strategies for combating immune deficiency 

diseases including AIDS. 

This breakthrough will win time for millions of people – especially 

in the Third World – until the causes of AIDS become clear and a 

vaccine is found. 


75


AIDS ‘chemotherapy’ and cancer 

chemotherapy are the same cellular toxins 

• Thus the call for the distribution of ARVs in Africa is like 

promoting the distribution of cancer chemotherapy among 

the population of Europe. 

• Thus recommending taking AIDS ‘chemotherapy’ 

to prevent AIDS is as absurd as recommending a course 

of chemotherapy to prevent cancer.

78

Did you know that … 

• the pharmaceutical industry is not a health-care industry but a sector 

of the investment industry whose motive force is shareholder profit? 

• the market place for the pharmaceutical industry is our bodies – but 

only if we get ill and stay that way? 

• the maintenance and spread of disease is a vital precondition for the 

pharmaceutical business and its growth? 

• the pharmaceutical industry conducts research almost exclusively with 

synthetic molecules because these can be patented, and it is only the 

associated patent royalties that enable pharmaceutical companies to 

make such astronomical profits? 


79

Did you know that … 

• the prevention and eradication of disease would be bad for business 

for the pharmaceutical industry as an investment activity and therefore 

that it is not in their interests, and is even actively resisted by the 

industry? 

• vitamins, cellular nutrients and other scientifically-proven natural 

therapies have been actively resisted by the pharmaceutical industry 

since their discovery 80 years ago, because they cannot be patented and 

because they tackle the causes of diseases and help eradicate them? 

• there are only two alternatives: either the common endemic diseases 

and the pharmaceutical investment business founded upon them 

survive, or we end this unscrupulous business and thereby pave the 

way for the eradication of entire diseases that currently plague us! 


80


The business with disease makes 

profits running into billions 

The pharmaceutical industry’s annual 

profit is around 500 billion euros. 

These unimaginable sums are only 

possible as long as the common endemic 

diseases of today are preserved and 

along with them the billion-pound 

markets in patentable pharmaceutical 

preparations. 

Dr Rath’s discoveries and the findings 

of vitamin research have enabled us to 

unmask this fraudulent billion-pound 

business. 

Annual pharmaceutical industry profit: 

500,000,000,000 euros 

= €1 coins 30x round the Earth! 

Cellular Medicine and vitamin research 

help eradicate the common endemic 

diseases through effective and affordable 

(because they cannot be patented) natural 

therapies. The billion-pound 

pharmaceutical investment industry is 

threatened with impending doom! 

81

Do you remember these pharmaceutical scandals? 


The Baycol scandal: 

Many people have already perished 

from the deadly side effects of this 

pharmaceutical preparation. 

In over 6 million people who took this 

drug, manufactured by Bayer, a time bomb 

is ticking to this day. 

The Vioxx scandal: 

According to official calculations by the 

US health authorities, almost 30,000 patients 

who took this drug produced by the US firm 

Merck died from the side effects, principally 

heart attacks. 

And worst of all: Baycol and Vioxx are 

not exceptions – they are the rule.

In the USA, for example, around half

and over 50,000 die from them. 

The number of pharmaceutical-related 

deaths in the USA is only exceeded 

by three causes of death: heart attack, 

cancer and stroke. 

Thus the pharmaceutical industry, which 

is so keen to claim for itself exclusive 

rights to the delivery of health care, is 

responsible for one of the most lethal 

epidemics in history! 

The unscrupulous pharmaceutical 

business with disease has become 

the foundation of numerous other 

branches of industry. 

84


The pharmaceutical industry’s henchmen 

The multi-billion-pound pharmaceutical 

industry has made many other sectors and 

professional groups dependent upon it: 

• Medicine: dependency due to share 

of pharmaceutical turnover 

(e.g., prescription fees) 

• Media: dependency due to millions 

of pounds of advertising business 

• Politics: dependency due to lobbyists 

and donations to party funds 

Your disease helps fund all these 

different sectors! 

This deception will work only as long as you haven’t seen through it! 

85

The pharmaceutical industry’s web of deceit 

Pharmaceutical advertising is characterised by false 

promises which stand the true facts on their heads! 


• In advertising campaigns the 

pharmaceutical industry holds out the 

prospect of good health, but all the 

while the side effects of their products 

are creating new diseases. 

• This is no accident: the spread of 

disease is fundamental to the 

industry’s success. 

• There is no evidence of any curative 

effect for 80% of the pharmaceutical 

preparations sold in the UK. All they 

do, at best, is mask symptoms. 

These facts alone demonstrate that 

the pharmaceutical industry is in the 

business of organised fraud. 

Deceiving millions of patients is 

fundamental to the maintenance of the 

pharmaceutical business with disease! 

86


The system of pharmaceutical dictatorship 

The Pharma-Dictatorship system: 

1. Systematic deception of the public 

2. Gagging via protectionist pro-pharmaceutical 

legislation 

3. Cementing the wall of common endemic 

diseases 

The unscrupulous pharmaceutical 

business with disease uses the same 

methods as a totalitarian political system 

to ensure its survival. 

The citizens held in thrall by this 

pharmaceutical system are blinded 

to reality by false promises. 

Citizens in thrall to the pharmaceutical 

industry are forcibly prevented by 

protectionist pro-pharmaceutical 

legislation from freeing themselves 

from common endemic diseases 

through the use of highly effective 

natural therapies. 

87

Are we facing a pharmaceutical dictatorship? 


Now that the pharmaceutical 

industry has been shown to 

be founded on fraud, it can 

only be preserved against 

the health interests and will 

of the general public. 

88


Vitamin ban to protect the pharmaceutical 

industry’s billion-pound global markets 

• For decades the pharmaceutical industry 

has written most of the UK’s pharmaceutical 

legislation itself. Vitamin C has been arbitrarily 

defined as medication from a dose of 500 mg 

and upwards, even though your pet dog will 

produce 20 times that amount every single day. 

• The pharmaceutical industry has abused the 

UN in order, on grounds of competition, to 

impose a worldwide ban on effective natural 

therapies. 

• The pharmaceutical industry has inveigled 

the EU into passing directives denying 

400 million Europeans free access to 

effective natural therapies. 

The purpose of these unscrupulous machinations is not to protect our health but 

purely to protect the pharmaceutical industry’s billion-pound global markets!

What we have done … 

… without you even knowing it. 

90


The four focal points of our 

Health Alliance 

• Research : 

research into the importance for 

health of vitamins and other 

micronutrients is the bedrock 

of Cellular Medicine. 

• Natural therapy: 

micronutrients are the 

foundations of our health. 

• Education: 

passing on this knowledge is 

fundamental to the eradication 

of common endemic diseases. 

• Legislation: 

free access to natural therapies 

must be enshrined in law!

Dr Aleksandra Niedzwiecki (below). 


Focus on research 

The money earned by our Health Alliance 

has been used to build up our own 

research institute, which is entirely 

independent of the pharmaceutical 

industry. 

The Research Institute for Cellular 

Medicine is the world leader in the field of 

combating cancer by biological means and 

other scientifically-based natural therapies. 

To date the Institute’s research findings 

have been published in over 30 scientific 

journals and have been presented at 

numerous congresses in the USA and 

other countries. 

The research findings are published on the 

Internet. Our research website* is one of 

the most important sources in the field of 

worldwide natural therapy research.

Focus on natural therapy 

The difference between Cellular Medicine 

research and other natural therapies is that 

it is scientifically-based and therefore 

provable. 

Tens of thousands of research findings are 

already documented in biology and 

biochemistry textbooks and in medical 

libraries*. 

Our research is continuously developing 

these findings and making the benefits of 

them available to millions of people. 

* including the largest online archive of the ‘Proceedings of the National 

Academy of Sciences of the United States of America’ (PNAS).

Unlike others, our micronutrient programmes 

are the outcome of highly intensive scientific 

research! 

93

The length and breadth of the land, thousands of 

people are already spreading the word about the 

value of micronutrients and the research findings of 

Cellular Medicine. 


Focus on education 

The common endemic diseases of today 

will only continue in existence for as long 

as the knowledge is withheld from people 

that disease originates at the cellular level 

and that it can be prevented by taking 

optimum doses of micronutrients. 

This lack of knowledge of the causal 

connections involved is also vital for the 

continuing survival of the pharmaceutical 

business with common endemic diseases. 

There is only one way of changing all this: 

we must find out for ourselves and educate 

ourselves on all matters affecting our health! 

94


Focus on legislation 

For many years our Health Alliance 

has been fighting against the spread 

of legislation designed to protect the 

pharmaceutical industry (the UN’s Codex 

Alimentarius, EU Directives and so forth). 

Though you may have known nothing 

about it, thousands of people have already 

been engaged in a struggle to preserve your 

fundamental human right to good health. 

Currently we are conducting a Europe-wide 

Referendum to legally enshrine free access 

to natural therapies throughout Europe. 

What is more important than good 

health? Why not join our Alliance now!

History is being written: 

Health for All by 2020 

Dr Rath’s scientific breakthrough in the fight against cardiovascular diseases, cancer 

and immune deficiencies has mobilised a powerful opponent: the pharmaceutical 

industry, which is striving with all means at its disposal to withhold from people the 

right to health. But each individual historical stage clearly shows that we will not be 

prevented from gaining the freedom to determine our own bodily health. 

1997 The Chemnitz Programme: 3,700 people agree on a historic programme heralding 

a new age in medicine. For further information go to www.dr-rath-foundation.org 

1998 Codex conference in Berlin: massive protest once again 

foils the plans of the Codex Alimentarius conference. 

1999 Plans were afoot to ban vitamin therapy in Great Britain 

via the MLX 249 draft bill. In the face of massive protests, 

the British government was recalled from summer recess 

for a crisis meeting at which the planned legislation 

was withdrawn. 

96


History is being written: 

Health for All by 2020 

2000 Another historic victory over the Codex at Berlin conference: Dr Rath 

and the Health Alliance are the decisive factors in ensuring that the 

planned vitamin therapy ban could not be forced through. 

2001 Breakthrough in cancer research – Codex resolution 

again blocked: millions of e-mail votes and hundreds 

of people again prevent the Codex Alimentarius 

conference from passing its resolution. 

2003 Worldwide campaign against the danger of 

world war posed by the Bush administration 

and thepharmaceutical cartel: a campaign of 

open letters to the world’s most important 

daily newspapers gives Dr Rath decisive 

impetus in preventing a third world war. 

2005 Dr Rath Health Foundation conference in Johannesburg on combating AIDS 

by natural means: the conference summarised the findings of a micronutrient 

programme which left no further room for doubt: vitamins and other micronutrients 

can effectively combat the symptoms of AIDS and improve quality of life without side effects. 

A further billion-pound segment of the pharmaceutical cartel’s business begins to crumble. 

97


Cellular Medicine builds bridges ... 

... and the Wall of Common Endemic 

Diseases is already shaky after the 

years of work of our Health Alliance, 

specifically: 

• Unmasking the pharmaceutical 

industry’s lies. Through the information 

that you have just taken on board you 

have become immune to the industry’s 

manipulation! 

• Cellular Medicine bridge building. 

Now you have the opportunity to 

cross the pharmaceutical morass 

to which so many thousands of 

people have already fallen victim! 

Eradicating the pharmaceutical industry’s electric fence and knocking down the Wall of 

Common Endemic Diseases are the next steps in achieving our goal of Health for All!

Cellular Medicine ends the bird flu hysteria 

Millions of people are misled by the 

mass media 

Extract from the announcement in the 

New York Times on 24 March 2006 


With the help of pharmaceutical industry-dependent 

experts at the WHO, pharmaceutical lobbyists in 

national and international media and governments 

themselves, a worldwide hysteria was whipped up. 

People queued up for the pharmaceutical Tamiflu 

pill and millions in taxes were devoured by 

pharmaceutical companies. 

On 24 March 2006 the bird flu bubble burst as 

scientists at the Dr Rath Research Institute published 

the facts about bird flu in the New York Times: 

Natural vitamins and micronutrients are the answer 

to H5N1, being able to block all stages of flu or 

bird flu viral infection. 

Further information: www.dr-rath-foundation.org

Bursting the bubble of bird flu hysteria 

The pharmaceutical 

companies – the greatest 

beneficiaries of this hysteria – 

and their political lackeys had 

the ground taken from under 

their feet. 

Thanks to the scientific facts 

presented by the Dr Rath 

Research Institute millions of 

people are now immune from 

this scaremongering.

Walls collapse when their day is done! 

In 1989 millions of people brought the 

Berlin Wall tumbling down 

Now we are facing a much bigger wall, the Wall of Common Endemic Diseases. 

Together with you we will tear down this wall too! 

105


500 years ago another wall fell ... 

... and the Middle Ages came 

to an end. 

Millions of ordinary people seized 

for themselves the right to read 

and write! 

This happened despite fierce 

resistance from the powers of the 

day, who knew that knowledge is 

power and had no desire to share 

their power and privileges. 

106


Just as people in the 16th century ... 

... refused to be prevented from freeing 

themselves from their spiritual 

disenfranchisement … 

... and by so doing heralded the dawn 

of a new era, let us also not allow 

ourselves to be prevented from 

winning the right to determine our 

own health. 

107


We too will not be prevented ... 

... from freeing ourselves from health 

care disenfranchisement ... 

Health for All by 2020! 

... and making possible a world free 

from disease!
