Curing Incurables - A Dr. Christopher Legacy  Jesse Christopher

 Each November we like to publish a newsletter about our founder to honor his birthday.   This year I have the privilege to honor my grandfather by writing an article about one of his most famous quotes.  He said, "There are no incurable diseases,"  He follows up this bold statement with, "and this plain statement is truth itself.  There are however, some incurable people - that is, those who do not, or will not, work with Mother Nature!"

Many have questioned the logic behind this quote, and some have experienced loss as repudiation of this principle.  Dr. Christopher did have much success in using natural therapies to reverse or help with situations that were deemed 'incurable'.  Here are a few examples...

Dr. Christopher was approached during one lecture by a couple who's baby was born without optic nerves.  They asked if he could help their son.  He told them that he couldn't promise them their son's eyesight, but could recommend some herbal foods that wouldn't hurt in any way.  He recommended his Herbal Eyebright formula dropped in the eyes and given orally, as well as his Nerve formula dropped in the ears and given orally.  Six months later they came back to tell him that their son could see and was chasing balls across the room and picking them up like any other young boy.¹  

In the late 1990's we received a letter from Missouri containing some wonderful success stories.  One story was about a woman who had been diagnosed with breast cancer.  She had one lump the size of a walnut and two smaller lumps.  After watching her daughter-in-law, having received standard medical procedures, pass away from breast cancer two years previously she instead decided to use natural methods.  She started using Dr. Christopher's Mucusless Diet, drank one gallon of distilled water each day, did Dr. Christopher's 3-day juice cleanse once a month, and used the extended herbal cleanse.  After just three weeks, she started to lose weight and the lumps began to soften.  She also passed three spider tumors via the bowel.  After eight months she went in for a check up.  Her doctor was surprised to find that 2 of the lumps were completely gone, and the last lump could only be found after deep probing.  She refused further tests telling the doctor that the program she was on worked and she would continue with it.  

Dr. Christopher was a deeply religious man.  He was known to quote scripture in his lectures.  One such scripture pertaining to our topic at hand that he would often quote is, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die."²  

Dr. Christopher was deeply moved by a case in which he helped an eight year old boy who couldn't eat or drink anything, not even water.  This boy had laid in bed for so long that he had very bad bedsores.  He was so malnourished that you could see his spine through his skin and his hip bone was pushing through as well.  He had been sent home from the hospital as a hopeless case.  Dr. Christopher put him on a routine of slippery elm gruel, one teaspoon at a time.  Slipper elm poultices were also placed on his hips and spine.  Within weeks he was back to normal weight and looked healthy.  He still lacked energy, and someone suggested that perhaps it was the Lord's will that the boy pass on.  The parents decided to dedicate their son to the Lord, with the boy's approval.  As soon as they had, this boy looked up and smiled.  He said, "Good-bye Daddy, good-bye Doc." and he was gone with a smile on his face.³  

We don't have the ability to decide when it's time for someone to leave this earth.  What we can do, however, is use the tools the tools given to us: proper diet, herbal remedies, walking barefoot in the grass, positive mental attitude, exercise, sun therapy, hydrotherapy, and the vitalistic way of life to make life whole and vibrant for any and all in our sphere of influence.  Those in a state of disease can be given relief and put into a state of ease.  

There are some diseases in the modern era that seem too hard to help.  Following the philosophy and methods Dr. Christopher has outlined for us will most definitely give those with even the most difficult situations a more rich and full life.  That is the kind of cure that I think we are all looking for.
