in weight,  equal to approximately 30
grams of protein) which he felt he needed for his anemia and sub-normal blood count. Also, he was unable to digest
cheese, nuts, or pulses without gastric discomfort, thus necessitating the use of liver for tissue building protein and iron. Then, too, the use of 100% raw foods, both animal and vegetable, provided hormones, enzymes, and other vital elements
needed for regeneration. To make the raw liver palatable, he immersed it in scalding water for several minutes, which made it taste enjoyably good. He gradually reduced the scalding time to a few seconds and was able to eat it with relish. This he alternated with raw eggs
of various species, but mostly hen’s. One day liver and the next day some eggs. Since he couldn’t handle the leafy
vegetables, tubers, or nuts, he used fresh, ripe, and uncooked fruits of a softer variety. He was able to maintain his nitrogen
balance on some eggs one day and 3 1/2 oz. of liver the following day. This was rather remarkable, since when he felt
unwell, he always fasted on water, so that he took much less than 100 grams of liver on the average, on the alternative liver
days. The balance of the diet was made up of fresh fruits which formed its main basis. To ensure an adequate supply of
sugar, he took a few spoonfuls of honey or molasses as a dessert. On the raw liver (or raw egg) and fruit diet, he found that
he was able, not only to maintain, but gradually to increase, his vitality. And one day he felt energetic enough to indulge in
running exercises in the open fields (more than three months after the cessation of the radiation treatments). He ran daily to sweat out the toxins – rested in the afternoon – and then in the evenings he went on a hike. Then working
up a great thirst he would stop at stalls and have a hot beverage of boiled juices of certain melons and herbaceous plants
(leaves boiled and diluted with water). At night he took a warm bath followed by a brisk rubdown. He gradually increased
the running to one, two, and three miles, and the tumor gradually regressed, and the breathing became easier. “My diet of raw liver, eggs, and fresh fruits provided me with a good supply of B complex containing B 6 , vitamin C, iron
and lecithin, and I further took some honey, red palm oil, brewer’s yeast, and wheat germ as nutritive supplements.” It took
more than six months for the inflammation on his face to subside completely and more than a year for his features to
become normal. The irradiated areas eventually healed, but some permanent scars remained. “I had to depend upon eggs
and fish liver for my supply of vitamin D.” Fish liver also contains some calcium and phosphorus, but these two minerals
occur in greater quantities in egg, which also contain vitamins A and D.
 RAW VEGETABLE THERAPY
 With gradual digestive improvement, he was able to add raw tomatoes and cucumbers and by dipping lettuce, celery, and
cabbage in boiling water for only a few seconds, they were made palatable. He juiced hard raw vegetables like carrots. With advancing years, he reduced his intake of liver, totally excluding other animal flesh. He accustomed himself to some
cheese in addition to eggs, getting a good supply of essential amino acids. He then added plant proteins such as soybean
in the form of easily digestible curds, adding a dressing of ground nut oil. Also added were legumes, ground nuts, lotus
seeds, and natural supplements like wheat germ and yeast. As his anemic condition improved, he took liver once a week or
two weeks and relied mainly on sugar cane, beans, spinach, and other iron-rich plant foods. Thus, he gradually learned to
maintain his nitrogen equilibrium without having to take meat every day. copyright © Dr. Stanley S. Bass   (718) 648-1500    www.drbass.com 14 On his almost meatless and low starch diet, he was constantly on guard against the development of hypoproteinemia and
hypoglycemia. On some occasions he did experience mild symptoms of these conditions, but by repeatedly adjusting his
menu, he was gradually able to assess his daily requirements of protein and sugar. He always made allowance for vital
food factors as yet undiscovered, so he followed no fixed menu based on known nutrients, but constantly altered his menu. “Raw vegetable therapy, when judiciously carried out, could be a great help to the cancer patient in his fight for survival,
but for the therapy to be successful, a sound knowledge of the nutrients – particularly of essential amino acids – present in
various types of food is essential.”
 Wong was convinced of the importance of auto-psychotherapy, wherein the patient understood that the human body is
self-healing and the natural tendency in illness is always towards recovery (called homeostasis), provided that the
causation of the illness is removed. Faith and determination in one’s recovery are essential, and if the physician can instill in
the patient the faith in the intrinsic power of the body to fight off the disease, and assure him of the chances of a final
victory, the best chances of success are then possible. Add to this the inspiration and confidence which comes when the
patient sees progressive improvement in his condition, the gradual abatement and regression of his cancerous growth, as
well as the steady increase in strength and vigor, and success is assured. In his recovery from cancer, all his chronic afflictions which existed prior to his developing cancer disappeared – viz. colds,
sore throat, sinusitis,  gingivitis, hay fever, indigestion, and insomnia. His sense of smell and taste gradually returned , the
tumor continued to regress slowly but surely, and within eight months he was completely cleared of nasal obstruction. He
was carefully examined at a hospital and the doctor stated, “You seem to be all right. There’s no trace of the tumor.”
 He learned to avoid the cancer recurrence which he so greatly feared, by constant vigilance. By his 35th birthday, he was
so improved in health and vigor that he was able to jog for hours without feeling unduly tired. “And all the while I had adhered to the Single Meal Routine – a diet which gave me little more than 1000 calories of energy
daily. On the Single Meal Routine I have been able to maintain my body weight constant at 100 lbs. – not an abnormally low
weight for an Asian of average height. This amounts to a loss of only about 10 lbs. compared to my body weight in early
youth, when I was eating three or four meals a day. But paradoxically, my reduction in weight was compensated by
increased vigor, a keen appetite, and – most important of all – a gradual abatement of all my chronic ailments and complete
eradication of cancer.”
 For the past 14 years since his biopsy, free from colds, hay fever, and catarrhal troubles and in recent years, with further
improvement in health and vigor, he was able to indulge in strenuous sports like badminton, judo, and weight lifting in
addition to running. “I must add that, despite my increasing daily expenditure of energy, I haven’t increased substantially the quantity of food
eaten daily. Yet, during the past few years, I have been able to gain a few pounds in weight. The mechanism of human
metabolism is certainly more complex than can be simply explained in terms of calorie requirements. ’”
 The treatment for cancer does not end with the cure – the cure is just the beginning of the treatment. It is appalling to think
of the number of supposedly “cured” cancer patients who continue to die needlessly because they won’t make any personal
effort to guard against recurrence of the disease! “My recovery from cancer is in no way extraordinary or unique. The
recuperative power of the human body from illness to health can only be described as little short of amazing. The cure for
cancer must ultimately lie with the patient himself, and the reward of recovering is only for those who are prepared to
undergo with fortitude some degree of self-denial. “It is one of the most remarkable attributes of the human body that it can adapt itself to changes in habits of eating and
living with extreme flexibility. My Single Meal Routine, initially employed as a desperate measure to check a fatal disease,
has now become to me an established habit, inasmuch as I have come to look upon the three-meal-a-day routine as
something bothersome and tedious. I still adhere – though it is no longer necessary to do so with rigidity – to the raw food
diet, as I consider it a natural preventative against cancer recurrence. “My daily solo running has lost its initial boredom and become a pleasing habit. It has helped me build up a satisfactory
level of health; it has helped me, in my late forties, to maintain my blood pressure at around 120 mm (systolic) and to regain
and relive a youth long lost to ill health and disease. “To those cancer sufferers whose prospects of recovery seem dim, I would say ‘as long as there is still breath in the body
and the will to live, there is always hope... there will always be hope’.”

What problems can people run into during natural healing? When sick people begin to heal and detoxify they often seem to get even sicker. They may get new disease symptoms, like
headaches, colds, skin breakouts, fevers. This can cause some to panic and seek help from medical doctors, who will
prescribe drugs. Not a good idea, since drugs have an immediate effect of stopping the ongoing detox. So using drugs is a serious mistake. By avoiding necessary inner cleansing, people only prolong their disease, or even
make it worse. By allowing the detox, they will get well maximally fast. Is it possible to avoid detoxification symptoms? Orthopathic doctors can either design the natural recovery to be short and efficient with strong symptoms, if they think the
patient can handle it. Or design a really slow detox with very few, if any, symptoms. An example: As a young doctor I had a woman in her 60's who consulted me for high blood pressure. I noticed her fingers
seemed crooked from rheumatism, but didn't ask about it. I gave her an easy-to-follow diet of 3 meals per day - two raw and
one mixed cooked/raw. No water fasting. I adjusted the diet every month or 2 weeks when she came to visit. This was such
a slow detox that she didn't get detoxification symptoms. Her blood pressure improved steadily. When she came to visit the
8th month I noticed that her fingers looked straight, and asked her about it. Yes, she said, my fingers have straightened out
- and by the way, the diabetes I was suffering from is gone as well. I was elated , this was the first time I had seen an example of how our bodies heal all our diseases if given a chance. Can you give an example of detox symptoms? Currently I have a patient who has been using a walker for many years. His legs used to be normal, but were so severely
damaged by poisonous salves that he lost his ability to walk. The salves were prescribed by doctors for a parasitic infection. A very difficult case to solve. After going on a strict diet, his body started breaking out in severe blisters allover, which is a sign of detoxification via the
skin. Since this was very uncomfortable he was on the verge of giving up. It took three 21-day water fasts and a strict diet
during 9 months before the blisters disappeared. By now he has recovered most of his walking ability, and is well on his
way to full recovery. For more examples of detox symptoms, read "What Symptoms to Expect When You Improve Your Diet." Does it often take months to recover? It depends on the patient, and on what method is used, what combination of strict diet and fasting. This summer I have had
a patient in his 30's who was in terrible shape. When he came to me he feared he would die soon. He had many tumors
and a chronic backache, and had been to multiple doctors but only gotten worse. I asked him 2 questions: Are you willing to
go on a strict diet? Are you willing to have a short water fast? He was, and the result was a real miracle, in his own words. In less than 2 months his back ache is gone, his blood pressure is down, his tumors have almost disappeared, and he has
lost 40 lb of weight. What other methods or therapies do you use? I only use the most efficient methods available, which also are as close to nature as possible, in essence a combination of
high-quality diets and fasting. Together with general advice about improved lifestyle, e.g. sleep, rest, meditation, exercise,
breathing, sunshine, etc. E.g. to get rid of pain in shortest possible time, fasting is the best choice. Drugs, herbs and similar,
even products that claim to be detoxification-enhancing, only delay healing and must be avoided. Have you had any remarkable recoveries? Of the over 30,000 patients I have taken care of I would call almost all remarkable, and many miraculous. Especially since
people usually come to me in very serious condition, often as a last resort after having tried everything else for years, but
only getting worse. The more toxic people are due to dangerous drugs taken during many years, the more necessary
correct detoxification is. This interview was made 9-2005 by the Natural Hygiene Network of Houston, a non-profit organization. Dr. Stanley S. Bass in 2002
