Overview: Mary Jo Fahey, a writer who worked on Dr. Simon Yu's new health book, is co-hosting this show that provides details about Dr. Yu's discoveries.
Biography: Dr. Simon Yu, the author of a new health book called Accidental Cure: Extraordinary Medicine for Extraordinary Patients, made two discoveries that make so-called incurable diseases disappear. His new book relays the details about his discoveries and provides in-depth, self-help guidelines for readers who have been told, "there is nothing more we can do."
20 years ago, Dr. Simon Yu, a board-certified medical doctor specializing in internal medicine, found himself working at an HMO prescribing drugs that masked the symptoms of disease, but did not cure disease. He had reached a turning point in his career and decided to research what is known as alternative medicine -- a path that combines natural therapies with conventional methods.
Dr. Yu's recently published book called Accidental Cure: Extraordinary Medicine for Extraordinary Patients contains a detailed account of his discoveries in the United States and Europe.
The number of alternative medical doctors in the United States is shrinking. In the 70s, there were over 150,000 alternative M.D.s, and today there are approximately 2,000. Those who remain in alternative medicine are a determined group who have withstood political and economic pressures from interest groups who would prefer to see natural therapies disappear.
There are discoveries occurring around the world that require rigorous self-study and travel to find. Dr. Yu's unrelenting curiosity in alternative medical circles and his search for answers on two continents led to two important discoveries that have made so-called incurable diseases disappear.
Career Milestones
Dr. Yu's research on two continents led to two important milestones that are described in his book:
Milestone #1: Meeting Dr. Douglas Cook
In 1996, Dr. Yu attended a dental and medical conference that totally transformed his career. Dr. Douglas Cook, who practices dentistry in a Wisconsin town of 600, was sponsoring one of his many Chicago-based conferences that he titled "Conference on Energy in Medicine and Dentistry." Dr. Yu was one of a small number of medical doctors and until he attended Dr. Cook's conference, he did not realize the magnitude of the relationship between the oral cavity's pathology and patient health.
At the 1996 conference, Dr. Cook introduced his conference participants to computerized electrodermal screening (CEDS) that Dr. Yu later renamed Acupuncture Meridian Assessment.
Dr. Yu says he was skeptical at first and took a second CEDS conference before realizing that Rhinehold Voll's tool (an EAV device) provides a medical doctor or dentist a valuable method for evaluating the connections between the teeth and the body. Once he began to use an EAV device in his practice, Dr. Yu understood that energy meridians and energy fields can totally transform a medical practice. As he says, "Medicine became fun." Ironically, he had to study dentistry to learn about medical illness.
Milestone #2: U.S. Army Reserve Mission, 2001
Dr. Cook's CEDS conferences placed Dr. Yu in a small group of American physicians who understand the connection between oral pathology and illness. A few years later, his career as an Army Reservist took him on a mission to Bolivia where he made a discovery that placed him in an even smaller group of physicians who understand the connection between parasites and disease.
As described in Chapter 6, most American medical doctors hardly have any experience with parasites or experience using parasite medications. Bolivia provided a rapid education over a 2-week period in several small towns where the U.S. government dispensed antiparasite medications to approximately 10,000 Andes Indians. As Dr. Yu states in Chapter 6:
The key part of my story occurred within days after the first group of Indians was treated with antiparasite medications. Several patients returned to relay stories of seeing parasites passing in their stools and a few had parasites erupt from their skin. Their stories, the samples they brought in jars, and their descriptions of how much better they were feeling left me with what later turned out to be an important question: How much chronic illness is due to parasite infection?
After returning to St. Louis, Dr. Yu learned to search for parasites with an EAV device. He also used parasite medications in various combinations and observed dramatic responses in patients whose illnesses were considered incurable. Some of the difficult conditions that responded with parasite medications include: intractable allergies and asthma, migraine headache, sciatica, constipation and diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, bronchiectasis, vision loss, anxiety, depression, nightmares, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, arthralgia and myalgia, pelvic pain, eczema, psoriasis, hypertension, and cancers.
