A call to action. Can one book change the course of American history? If enough people read Haley’s Politics in Healing the answer is yes. A typical reaction: “i read one chapter on Koch...i am again sick.. mad.. outraged... saddened.. .disgusted.. my heart aches/”

Politics in Healing is powerful because Haley sticks to facts and the book is an easy read. Haley a former elected government official relies on public records and personal testimony. Gripping stories of forgotten cures, the AMA and NIH stealing or suppressing therapies they can not control, and the power struggles between health and medicine are known by most health freedom fighters and alternative medicine advocates, but these memories tend to fade. Politics in Healing brings the outrageous history of the American Medical Association (AMA), National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Institute (NIH/NCI) and Federal Drug Administration (FDA) back to full consciousness.

The book’s title belies its weight. The word “politics” implies petty infighting and power struggles. Politics in Healing is a criminal indictment of the leadership of the organizations charged to protect the public health. Using sworn court testimony, Haley’s research documents case after case of outright genocide. Death and disability perpetrated on the American public by forces protecting their vested interest in the 7-12% of the GDP Americans spend every year on “health” care.

Freedom loving Americans are living an illusion. Most of us believe that protective Government officials are watching over us and keeping us safe. We are content in our ignorance. Dan Haley, friend of former Congressman Berkley Bedell who helped establish the NIH Office of Alternative Medicine, reminds us that the nature of Government is to use its power to coerce the great majority for the betterment of powerful special interests. America is now the only country on Earth with government officials who routinely deny 4 year-old children a treatment for brain cancer they know to be effective. Out of control, members of Congress can’t stop the FDA. Federal Courts can’t stop the FDA. And we pay the salaries of these Government officials!

Haley does not include every known cure. After researching many therapies that are not included in this book, the author restricted himself to a fraction of the problem. For the most part, his research is based on pubic records, yet he tells us about FIVE or more outright cures for cancer. Two of which the heads of the AMA admitted, under oath, were cancer cures. (How many people know this?) How many people know that the NIH/NCI killed every participant in their Hydrazine Sulphate trial, knowing full-well ahead of time that the protocol it adopted to discredit this substance in the treatment of cancer was almost always fatal? How many people know that hundreds of thousands perish every year from prescription drugs? How many people know that if you exclude infant mortality, the life expectancy in the United States is not much different than what it was at the beginning of the Twentieth Century, and that the USA lags far behind most industrialized countries?

What Haley left unsaid speaks volumes. The reason becomes obvious why American Medicine must stamp out non-toxic therapies: Survival. Every reader of the Haley book will acquire the capacity to cure cancer, as admitted by the head of the AMA under oath - without a medical degree, much less training. Add Lyme disease. Arthritis. Haley documents three non-toxic fast acting pain remedies. Many more effective, scientifically based, non-toxic cures are known to exist that can not yet be so well documented. How will organized medicine survive if major diseases can be cured without highly educated and highly trained medical doctors, and death by prescription drug is left as the leading cause of death?

Ordinary words are inadequate describing the importance of this book. Extraordinarily well researched. Impossible to put down. Haley’s book, a cross between Science fiction and a John Grisham suspense Novel, raises our consciousness. It can not be true. This must be fiction. Not in the United States of America. Read it. Encourage others to read it. Then make your voices be heard.
