How to Make a Killing: Blood, Death and Dollars in American Medicine
Author Tom Meuller dives in to the dialysis business that has boomed in America since the 1960s when the kidney became the first organ to be replaced with a machine. Since then, Congress has opened the floodgates of Medicaid funding for Big Dialysis, leading to a web of corporate greed disproportionately effecting Black and Latino populations. This dive in to one aspect of for-profit medicine is an important reflection of our broken healthcare system which places profits, not patients, at the center.

How Vitamin D and UV Light Boost Health
It was not until epidemiologists at Johns Hopkins University in 1980 discovered that vitamin D was responsible at least in part for these effects. As a result of this discovery, vitamin D became the ‘flavor of the day’ with most doctors testing and treating for this vitamin. It was generally believed that vitamin D deficiency caused cancer, cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases.
In 2010, Robyn Lucas, an epidemiologist at the Australian National University, found signs of sunlight’s prevention everywhere. For example, people with the most sun damage on the back of the hand- a particularly accurate reflection of lifetime sun exposure – have just one-third the rate of MS compared with those with less. And kids who spent less than 30 minutes a day outside had five times the risk of MS compared with those who averaged more than an hour outside.
As it turns out, Vitamin D is only part of the benefit of sunlight. Immunologist Scott Byrne, of the University of Sydney, recently discovered six novel lipids that are produced by the skin in response to UV light and sent to lymph nodes. There they signal T cells- the powerful immune warriors that get out of control in people with MS and attack the nervous system- to stay put and stop proliferating.

“How can I summarize a miracle in so few words? Well, this is our story:
On May 9, 2014 my son Andrew was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). At the end of May we brought him home unable to walk properly, and partially blind and deaf. He was Just 29 years old. That day my struggle started, “What do I do now?” Our next appointment with a neurologist was scheduled for August, 4 months away! A dear friend suggested that I give Dr. Pfau a call, so I did. I recall our appointment with him for the first time, his calm voice, and his reassurance that we will figure this “thing out”. I cried all the way home. I also remember him telling my son that he was after a cure for him and not just palliation of his symptoms.
Fast forward to November 2014, my son is doing wonderfully, most of the symptoms are gone, spinal and brain lesions have either faded away, or are simply gone. The neurologists were baffled as to how he had improved without any pharmaceuticals. As I unsuccessfully tried to explain to them how I credited the treatments he received at the Renaissance Health Centre to his amazing recovery, they dismissed me as ‘not being realistic.’ “
Neurologists will tell their MS patients that it is an incurable disease and all they can hope to do is slow down the progression. My experience in treating MS over the last 40 years has been that if we can start treatment within the first 2 years we can obtain remission.
I saw Andrew’s mom a couple of months ago and she reported that Andrew continues to be well. What appears to be a miracle in Andrew’s healing was in fact his body’s miraculous ability to heal – an innate ability all of our bodies have. Andrew was treated with homeopathy, neutraceuticals and IV ozone.

Several years ago Sarah, who was in her late 30’s developed numbness and an intolerable burning, needle like pains in her feet as a result of a series of chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. The pain had progressed to the point where the most she could walk was just 3 blocks.
Unfortunately, the only thing her doctor could recommend was Duloxetine a medication typically used to treat depression. Not only did this medication not work but it gave her headaches and insomnia. Out of desperation she wanted to know what alternative medicine had to offer.
What Sarah was experiencing was chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). This is a common side effect of cancer treatment that causes nerve damage leading to symptoms of numbness, tingling, and pain, most often in the hands and feet. Unfortunately, this is a common side effect, affecting 30%-40% of patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Sometimes described as “chemo feet” and “chemo hands,” it usually has a sock-and-glove pattern of numbness, tingling, burning or a pins-and-needles sensation. For some it can even affect fine motor skills that make it difficult to pick up small objects like a button or needle.
The chemo drugs that commonly have this side effect are platinum-base (like oxaliplatin), taxanes (like docetaxel), and vinca alkaloids (like vincristine).
I explained to Sarah that the chemo therapy had damaged the small blood vessels of her nerves. This in turn resulted in disruption of the surrounding sheaths that protects the nerves. I told Sarah that there was a natural intravenous therapy that I have used successfully for not only CIPN but also other similar neuropathies. The therapy was Alpha Lipoic acid –ALA—an amazing substance that the medical communities had ignored for decades.….

Children – security, self-confidence, love, and see the future with sparkling eyes. Dream huge dreams. The world at their fingertips.
Children - shouting. Heated arguments. Hitting. Smacking. Slapping. Raised voices. Blood. Choking. Physical molestation. Fear - unable to make heads or
tails. Unable to understand. Unable to help or be helped. Anger. Frustration. Guilt. I am alone. I am not worthy. No rescue. Nobody cares. Children try to handle the situation the best they can, driven by the will to survive. Right or wrong loses precedence.
Dealing with your Inner Child means knowing that you are safe and can no longer be hurt by the past, involves combining physical activity with a calm state of mind and maturity—trusting the subconscious to do its best job.
“I want to heal, I don’t want to be anxious, I’m fighting to feel good. I wake up feeling worried, anxious, and with impending doom, hyperventilating every morning. I’m losing everyone around me and those I love, I’m scared.” – AL (name changed for confidentiality)
Having lost her mother at 13 and mentally stuck in that moment till present, talk therapy, psychology, and other treatments failed, until finally, at age 14, she was placed on hormonal therapy to control mood swings.
After 14 days, learning to calm her mind, feeling the truth of her affirmations, acknowledging the underlying emotion – AL applied all tools and began her transformation – letting go of negative emotions in a healthy way, which allowed us to regress back to the ISE (Initial Sensitizing Event) - the painful night she lost her mother. CPRM protocol was applied, guiding young AL to her mother’s bed and being able to curl up beside Mom and have her last conversation, kept within for over 10 years. Psychic Cord – AL once again heard her mother’s voice, felt her mother’s presence, and felt the connection of motherly love.
Day 21 - she blossomed into a beautiful, radiant, confident young woman. Waking up each day kissing the sunlight, hugging her dog “Honey,” and valuing her supportive relationship with her significant other, who never fails to repeat her affirmations to her when he notices she needs to hear them the most.

Tired of that stubborn knee pain slowing you down? Whether it’s from injury, surgery, or just overuse, homeopathy offers a gentle, effective path to real relief.
A 25-year-old male and fitness enthusiast tore his knee during a game. Surgery was inevitable. Recovery? Not so smooth.
Months after, his pain persisted—sharp twinges, stiffness, and a dull ache that refused to go. Physio helped, but only so much. That’s when he turned to homeopathy, known for its gentleness and non-invasive approach.
After a thorough case review, Dr. Dhaani prescribed a personalized remedy plan, including Ruta graveolens for ligament healing and Arnica montana to ease post-operative trauma. Within weeks, he reported reduced pain and greater ease of movement.
Homeopathy doesn’t mask symptoms—it addresses the root cause. Remedies are matched to your exact symptoms, temperament, and triggers. Whether your pain is sharp and stiff, worse in cold weather, or flares up after rest, there’s a remedy tailored to your pattern.
If your knees are crying for help, maybe it’s time to listen—to something gentler, more innovative, and truly holistic: homeopathy.
Dr. Dhaani MD (Hom), APH, RS Hom (NA) is the epitome of academic excellence; she has received her Doctor of Medicine (Hom) and a bachelor’s degree in homeopathic medicine and surgery with rigorous practical skills. She also received her graduate degree in public health.

The 300 Needles of Dr. Lok
by Dr Terry Pfau
Most people do not know that the first place that acupuncture was recognized and regulated as a medical modality was in Nevada. The story behind this regulation which took place in 1973 is quite interesting.
This was brought about through the combined efforts of 3 men and one woman: New York attorney Arthur Steinberg, a Chinese medicine doctor from
Hong Kong named Lok Yee-kung, and a professional lobbyist James Joyce. Mr. Steinberg was determined to introduce legalized acupuncture into the United States after being persuaded of it value by his Chinese-born wife. At the time, the medical establishments in California and New York were determined to confine the practice of acupuncture to licensed medical doctors. As Nevada often sanctioned unexpected legislation and was seen as more libertarian than the legislative bodies of most other states, Mr Steinberg decided to submit his test case legislation here. To assist in his cause he brought in Dr. Lok Yee-kung, who had previously treated Mrs. Steinberg in Hong Kong.
Just before the acupuncture-licensing bill came up for a vote in Nevada’s Senate, Dr. Lok Yee-kung set up an acupuncture demonstration area in the conference room of a casino located directly across the street from the State Legislative building. Media outlets from across the country covered the event. Dr. Lok selected 70 demonstration patients out of the thousand who volunteered. Thirty of the selected volunteers just happened to be state legislators, who comprised about half of the total number of legislators who would be voting on the acupuncture bill. This exhibition of acupuncture proved to be overwhelmingly successful and the State Senate passed it on a 20-0 vote and the House of representatives passed it on a 34-2 vote. Governor Mike O’Callaghan signed the bill into law on April 20th making it the first acupuncture law in the world.

Artesunate is a derivative of artemisinin, a natural compound derived from the Chinese herb Artemisia. It was initially used for combating malaria, however, recently Artesunate has shown great promise as a
cancer therapy. It should be noted that IV Artesunate is 4 to 5 times more active in the body than oral Artemisinin.
How Does Artesunate Target Cancer?
When Artesunate is absorbed into cancer cells, this herbal medicine creates powerful sparks or free radicals to kill cancer cells from the inside – like a firecracker inside a paper milk carton. The scientific explanation of this mechanism of action for Artesunate is very well defined. Cancer cells aggressively accumulate iron for their rapid cell division. When Artesunate is administered, it degrades ferritin (a protein that stores iron) releasing free iron that generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). The ROS in turn triggers apoptosis killing the cancer cell. In addition to inducing cell death, Artesunate also inhibits cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis (generation of new blood vessels), further contributing to its anti-cancer effects.
Research on Artesunate for Cancer Therapy
A government funded study at Bastyr Integrative Oncology Research Center found that IV Vitamin C (IVC) in conjunction with IV Artesunate made a substantial difference in survival with patients who had advanced breast cancer. The study looked at patients with Stage IV breast cancer. What they found was that after 1 year, the group that received only IVC had a 74% survival rate, whereas, the group that received both IVC and IV Artesunate had a 90% survival rate. By year 2, the results were even more significantl The group that received only IVC had a 68% survival rate compared to 90% survival in the group receiving IVC and Artesunate. It is also important to note that no adverse events were associated with Artesunate.

Terry Pfau D.O., H.M.D. received his medical degree from Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1985. His internship was completed the following year at Kirksville Osteopathic Medical Center. He received his board certified in Neuromuscular Medicine in 2006.
While in medical school it was his 5-year-old daughter’s experience with psoriasis that sparked his interest in Alternative Medicine. In an attempt to help her, she was taken to several dermatologists who only prescribed stronger and stronger topical steroids.
Although the medication gave temporary relief, she could not be left on them indefinitely. On taking her off the medications the psoriasis would come back even worse. Out of desperation, she was taken to a physician in Kansas City who practiced homeopathy. Almost immediately she began to see improvement and within a month the skin lesion had cleared.
Over the last 32 years, Dr Pfau has sought out training from some of the best physicians in the alternative medical field. He is a graduate of the Hahnemann College of Homeopathy, the U.C.L.A Medical Acupuncture for Physicians Course, and Maharishi Ayurvedic Medicine Course for Physicians. He has also completed studies in chelation therapy, nutrition, osteopathic manipulation, bio-identical hormone therapy, and prolotherapy.
As Dr. Pfau has refined his practice over the last 32 years, he has found homeopathy and acupuncture to be the most comprehensive and effective approach in treatment most chronic illnesses. Homeopathy’s ability to stimulate healing on a deep level and its absence of negative side effects has benefited thousands of his patients both young and old. Because homeopathy is not a panacea he has learned to incorporate other therapeutic modalities, such as acupuncture and nutrition to assist the healing process.
Dr. Pfau is licensed in Nevada to practice both general medicine, as well as homeopathy.
When Dr. Pfau first began his practice in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1986 it consisted primarily of Homeopathy. In an attempt to help all his patients suffering from chronic disease Terry Pfau DO has broadened his scope of practice over the last 27 years to include, Osteopathic manipulation, acupuncture, chelation therapy,nutrition/herbal therapies, bio-identical hormones, high dose intravenous vitamins and hydrogen peroxide, chelation,frequency specific micro-current, prolotherapy, bio-identical hormones, and detoxification protocols.
