Dear Advisers, 

Dear Readers, 

This autumn has been full of 

eventful dates: first, in the latest 

series of lectures in six cities, I 

spoke about my fully revised 

book as a corner stone for a new 

health system; then, our first 

appearance at the Frankfurt 

Book Fair followed and now the 

next “Codex” meeting is fast 

approaching. 

Our movement to safeguard 

vitamin therapy in Europe and 

throughout the world and our 

work to realise the programme 

‘Health for all by the year 2020’, 

is now entering a new historical 

phase. For years, the pharmaceutical 

industry has directed 

attacks of a personal and defamatory 

nature at our health movement 

and me and excluded us 

from discussion about a humane, 

effective and economic health 

system. Now, however, it has 

become common knowledge 

that the pharmaceutical industry 

is promoting its “billion-dollar 

business with disease”, ruining 

patients’ health without a scruple 

and plundering public and 

private coffers. 

It is now clear, however, that 

more and more illnesses, including 

heart attack and stroke, can 

be almost wholly eradicated by 

means of natural remedies. 

Nothing can stop this breakthrough 

to a new health system! 

During the lecture tour 

through Switzerland, Austria and 

Germany, at the end of September 

and the beginning of October, 

I experienced an overwhelming 

response from thousands 

who came to hear me 

speak. All of them enthusiastically 

acknowledged my book 

‘Why Animals Don’t Get Heart 

Attacks…But People Do’. Very 

many of them, young people 

above all, understood our message 

and took it to heart. During 

my brief meetings with committed 

advisers before each event, I 

experienced at first hand the 

many positive impulses for our 

further work in the Health 

Alliance. In future, we will continue 

to reinforce the work of 

advisers, offering a variety of 

local further training courses and 

help to develop widespread and 

inclusive health centres locally. 

Our first appearance at the 

Frankfurt Book Fair drew much 

attention; over the five days of 

the fair our stand was densely 

surrounded by people hungry to 

know more. The new book is the 

building plan – throughout the 

world – for a new, efficient and 

economical health care provision, 

based on natural prevention 

and cure of illnesses. Many 

who visited the fair saw things in 

the same way, and on Sunday 

(12.10.03) I signed over 500 

books. From 4 to 7 November 

2003, the “Codex Alimentarius” 

Commission is meeting again – 

Editorial 

for the first time in Bonn. This 

time too, their aim is to make all 

effective natural remedies, that 

have no side effects, subject to 

prescription regulations, and 

thus, in fact, to prohibit them. 

What is new and unheard of is 

their intention to prohibit health 

statements relating to natural 

remedies. This is the desperate 

attempt of the pharmaceutical 

industry to muzzle freedom of 

information and education. 

We have been opposing this 

so-called “commission of 

experts”, each time with increasing 

success, since 1996. More 

and more governments in the 

world, especially those of poorer 

countries, have rejected regulations 

being enforced on vitamins 

and cellular nutrients. The pharmaceutical 

cartel and the European 

governments that support 

it, are on the defensive – also and 

especially because of our years 

of protests. 

What we now need to do is 

put an end to the “Codex”. 

At our public and international 

event on 2 November 2003 in 

Bonn – see the back page of this 

issue – we want to work together 

once again to safeguard our right 

to natural remedies. 

Come to Bonn with your family, 

friends and acquaintances! 

Actively support the European 

initiative for the “referendum for 

free access to natural health” too! 

With warmest wishes 

Dr. Matthias Rath

Lectures 

No sooner said than done 

“Who, if not you, the young 

people of this world, will liberate 

mankind from the worst 

yoke in history, the unscrupulous 

‘business with disease’?” 

With this forceful appeal to the 

next generation in Berlin’s Tem- 

Dr. Rath during his lecture at Vienna’s Hofburg 

podrom, Dr. Matthias Rath 

ended his latest lecture tour. 

The sixth and last stage on his 

journey through Switzerland, 

Austria and Germany became 

the highpoint of the tour. The 

German capital welcomed Dr. 

Rath with an impressive scene: 

the rows of the Tempodrom 

auditorium were packed with an 

audience of 2,700, including 

many young people. 

“Who, if not you, will build a 

world in which health, peace 

and social justice are a real, 

inalienable human right for all 

future generations?” urged Dr. 


Rath, inviting today’s youth to 

share in the realisation of his 

vision. Yet again, Dr. Rath had 

hit the nail on the head. Once 

more, he had shown how the 

international pharmaceutical 

lobby has infiltrated govern- 

ments, the World Health Organisation 

and even the United 

Nations, to use them for its business 

purposes. Once again he 

made it clear that the time has 

come for a dramatic change in 

health policy. Once again he 

stood up to oppose the apparently 

invincible pharmaceutical 

cartel. ‘Dr. Rath against Goliath’ 

was a headline that appeared 

two days later in the ‘Frankfurter 

Allgemeine’ newspaper, above 

its report on the event in Berlin. 

“Today we stand at a crossroads 

in health care provision in 

Germany and throughout 

Europe, and have a unique 

opportunity to work together to 

liberate ourselves from the yoke 

of an industry that imposes illnesses 

on humanity and has no 

interest in combating the real 

causes of disease”, stressed Dr. 

Matthias Rath. The health system 

in Germany is in deep crisis, 

and the pharmaceutical 

industry has been exposed as an 

organised system of deception 

(‘Der Spiegel’). What is the way 

forward? The alternative is to 

develop a new, global health 

system, as clearly described in 

Dr. Rath’s latest lecture series. 

Organised by the Dr. Rath 

Health Foundation and the Dr. 

Rath Health Alliance, Dr. Rath 

spoke about his scientific 

research findings and political 

commitment in these lectures. 

Around 10,000 interested people


Dr. Aleksandra Niedzwiecki, the director of research at Matthias Rath Inc., introduced the international research team. 

attended in lecture halls full to 

overflowing in Zurich, Vienna, 

Munich, Cologne, Hamburg and 

Berlin. In these lectures, Dr. 

Rath exposed the global business 

interests of the pharmaceutical 

cartel. Today, two out of 

every three pharmaceutical pills 

come from the USA and Great 

Britain. In these pharmaceutical 

strongholds, the “business with 

disease” is simultaneously the 

engine driving the economy and 

a best-selling export field. In 

May 2000, the ‘Süddeutsche 

Zeitung’ wrote: “Dr. Rath has 

denounced a so-called pharmaceutical 

cartel”. Today, however, 

everyone is shouting this 

truth from the rooftops! And 

although criticism of the pharmaceutical 

industry has become 

a “national sport” in recent 

months, its business still continues 

as ever. 

The Alliance for a new health 

system in Germany, Europe and 

throughout the world is sustained 

by people who are finally 

freeing themselves from the dictates 

of the pharmaceutical 

industry, and, in massive numbers, 

demanding their right to 

health and recovery through 

natural medicine. Cellular Medicine, 

an effective alternative 

with no side effects, stands in 

vivid contrast to the crisis in the 

German health system. 

Dr. Rath repeatedly asked himself 

and his audience questions 

about the underlying philosophy 

of Cellular Medicine, and 

came to the following answer: 

Nurtured by the values that 

were passed on to him in his 

childhood home and in his own 

life experience, he sees an 

important motivation for his 

The lecture audience was densely packed, even in the second hall of the 

Hofburg.

actions in the principles of ‘giving, 

not taking’, and in ‘being, 

not having’. Battling against 

injustice and taking responsibility 

have been important themes 

in his life for years. 

Cellular Medicine is the alternative 

to mainstream medicine! 

Under the headline of ‘No 

Sooner Said Than Done’, Dr. 

Rath cited many positive proofs 

of the efficacy of Cellular Medicine. 

Drawing on ‘before and 

after’ X-ray pictures, he gave 

examples of fighting lung cancer, 

and brain and bone 

tumours. In his scientific 

accounts, Dr. Rath explained his 

findings relating to the eradication 

of so-called endemic diseases. 

“It is a good feeling to be 

able to convey to you in 30 minutes 

the simple solution to all 

endemic diseases. You have just 

saved yourselves six years of 

medical studies!” quipped Dr. 

Rath. 

However this knowledge has 

been relegated to silence and 

denied for more than a decade 

and is now even to be prohib- 


ited. Dr. Rath, and with him 

hundreds of thousands of people 

throughout the world are 

opposing this. “It is worth fighting. 

‘Health for all by the year 

2020’ is attainable!” In a big 

advertisement campaign (see 

page 27), Dr. Rath publicly 

expressed what many people 

were thinking in secret. The 

response to this has been considerable. 

Since then, universi- 

Large crowds attending all the lecture evenings 

ties and firms throughout the 

world, and organisations and 

governments, have been finding 

out more from Dr. Rath’s 

website. 

All these facts and previous 

successes have smoothed the 

way for a new health system. Dr. 

Rath wishes to do more than just 

educate people. “Health is a 

human right. The confrontation 

with the pharmaceutical industry 

is a great historical challenge”. 

He is seeking comrades in 

arms to help develop a new 

health system that serves people’s 

health interests and no 

longer the profit interests of the 

pharmaceutical industry. His 

appeal is directed above all at 

young people, who are now 

supposed to pay for the very 

health system that is already 

unable to guarantee health care 

in the future any longer. Dr. 

Rath: “It lies in your own hands. 

Help decide about your own 

health, and become architects 

of a new, responsible health 

system!”

Katja Ebstein supported Dr. Rath in Berlin – see adjoining article 

During events lasting over two 

hours, Dr. Alexandra Niedzwieki, 

the research director of Matthias 

Rath Inc., Dr. Ursula Schefler, 

the manager of the Dr. Rath 

Health Foundation, many international 

guests, and former 

patients and advisers of the Dr. 

Rath Health Alliance all got a 

word in. Patients reported 

about their sensational cures 

with cellular nutrients, advisers 

spoke about their local information 

work, and naturopaths 

and doctors talked about their 

work with cellular medicine. 

Prominent artists, such as Katja 

Ebstein and Bata Illic, supported 

Dr. Rath’s commitment. 

The debate surrounding health 

reform, they said, required citizens 

to take an active part. As 

Katja Ebstein said: “I believe 

this is more necessary than ever 

before”. 

In advance of the next 

“Codex Alimentarius” commis- 

sion meeting on 2 November, 

Dr. Rath appealed to everyone 

to support the Dr. Rath Health 

Foundation’s EU referendum for 

free access to natural health by 

adding their signatures. “Take 

the future in your hands,” Dr. 

Rath urged. “It belongs to you – 

take it in your hands now”. 

On his lecture tour, Dr. 

Matthias Rath unveiled the new 

edition of his book ‘Why Animals 

Don’t Get Heart Attacks… 

But People Do’. In this volume, 

Dr. Rath points the way forwards 

to a new health care system 

– one that is social, 

economical and scientifically 

founded. “Every book that you 

buy and pass on to others 

becomes a nail in the coffin of 

the pharmaceutical industry”, 

stressed Dr. Rath. 


Katja Ebstein 

on 8 October 2003 

in Berlin 

“It is more important than ever to 

get involved. We all know that 

the health system is in more than 

one deep crisis at present, in 

spite of all attempts at reform. It 

has been intrinsically sick since 

the pharmaceutical industry was 

discovered to be such an investment 

opportunity. It is too 

expensive, ineffective and riddled 

with dependency. But 

things could be so simple. We 

know about alternatives to ordinary 

mainstream medicine. We 

know that they are cheaper, more 

effective and healthier. 

All one can do is appeal to 

those in positions of responsibility 

– be persistent and keep at it 

until something changes. At some 

point, they will understand that 

they need the same vitamins 

themselves. I always say to them: 

be open to alternative health 

methods. Ensure that vitamins, 

cellular nutrients and effective 

natural remedies are available to 

all. It is a question of everyone’s 

health, including that of politicians 

and pharmaceutical company 

bosses. They’re only people 

at the end of the day. I hope we 

can build networks and pass on 

information, pass it further and 

further. That is the only show of 

strength that we need to engage 

in. The more united we are, the 

less our employees, the politicians, 

can fail to do what we 

want”.

Book fair 

Frankfurt Book Fair: Another 

great success for Dr. Rath 

Dr. Rath signed more than 500 books 

Following the unexpectedly 

well-attended lecture series with 

its brilliant finale at the Berlin 

Tempodrom, the MR Publishing 

stand – with the bestseller ‘Why 

Animals Don’t Get Heart Attacks…’ 

– attracted some of the largest 

crowds at the 55th Frankfurt 

Book Fair. Numerous old friends 

of Cellular Medicine and many 


more new ones visited us at the 

stand in Hall 3. The thousands of 

questions directed at us once 

again highlight the fact that 

health is a burning issue for people. 

With our message of natural 

prevention and therapy using 

cellular nutrients, we were able 

to reach quite new target groups 

at the Book Fair. 

The high point of our presence 

at the fair was Dr. Matthias 

Rath’s book signing session on 

Sunday, 12 October. Given the 

wealth of events at the fair, it 

was hard to predict how many 

people would take advantage of 

the opportunity to talk to Dr. 

Rath and take a personally 

signed copy of his book home 

with them. The result exceeded 

all expectations: Dr. Rath had to 

sign over 500 books, and for 

several hours our fair stall was 

the focus of a stream of visitors 

in Hall 3. 

A further and quite different 

aim of our presence as publisher 

in Frankfurt was to find 

international partners who wish 

to collaborate with us on developing 

a new health system. 

With their help we want to circulate 

our books in as many 

countries of the world as possible. 

Here, too, it was encouraging 

to witness the great interest 

we found amongst Latin American, 

East European, Asian and 

Australian publishers. We were 

able to make many contacts that 

now need to be followed up 

and cultivated, so that we can 

be represented on the global 

book market in the near future.

Portrait 

It just clicked with me 

Maik Klotzbach 

Maik Klotzbach, aged 18, stands 

next to Dr. Rath on the stage in 

Munich. He talks about his 

experiences with Cellular Medicine 

and his path so far as young 

adviser. He is furious that so few 

young people show any interest 

in their health. “You aren’t just 

responsible for what you do but 

also for what you don’t do”, he 

urges loudly into the micro- 


phone. His immediate aim is to 

turn this anger into constructive 

change. 

Foolish sayings are taboo 

The 18-year-old chemistry student 

comes from the small village 

of Mühlwärts in Thüringen, 

with its 46 inhabitants. “Everyone 

gets wind of it pretty 

quickly when you commit your- 

self to something. And you’re 

not spared banal judgements. 

That also happened to me to 

begin with. But now, everyone 

has got used to the fact that I 

continually tell them about vitamins, 

health and personal 

responsibility”, says Maik 

Klotzbach. 

The way to Cellular Medicine 

The trainee came to cellular 

medicine via his mother. Dr. 

Rath’s cellular nutrients helped 

her to combat many years of 

migraine affliction. “I read 

through all of Dr. Rath’s books, 

studied the website – and then it 

just clicked with me”, Maik tells 

me in a conversation. Many of 

his friends mock him a little for 

his commitment to Dr. Rath, and 

cannot understand why he 

works so hard for the health that 

he still has anyway. “When I 

arrive at sports activities with my 

self-mixed LysinC-Drink, it does 

look rather funny in the water 

bottle. But I no longer let the 

comments about this put me 

off.” 

When advisers are active 

Maik Klotzbach has already 

been an adviser in Dr. Rath’s 

Health Alliance for over a year. 

With advisers from the Thüringen 

area, he organises information 

evenings and talks to 

people, usually much older than 

himself. “It’s damned hard to get 

young people to listen. To begin 

with, I was able to get a few 

friends to do more for their 

health. But unfortunately my initial

Maik Klotzbach talks to the Munich audience about his consultant work 

successes quickly evaporated”, 

states Maik. Self-confident and 

youthfully impetuous, he says 

in conclusion: “We still have a 

long, hard battle ahead of us, 

but there’s only one option 

Dr. Rath thanks Maik and his friend for their commitment 

open to us: to win!”

Background 

Alzheimer’s – The effect 

of cell vitality substances 

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, which is defined as loss of mental 

capacities such as thinking ability, memory, orientation and practical skills. This loss can go so 

far that it becomes impossible for patients to manage ordinary daily activities. According to 

statistics Alzheimer’s can, without treatment, lead to complete incapacity within 5 to 15 years 

and even to death due to immune system weakness. 

Alzheimer’s disease today 

affects more people than ever 

before. Experts estimate that 

over 700,000 people in the UK 

suffer from the affliction. Since 

the number of old people in the 

population will continue to 

increase in the coming years, 

experts predict approximately 

50,000 new cases of the disease 

each year. By 2010 there could 

be a 35% increase compared 

with 1987. 

What is Alzheimer’s? 

The illness is named after the 

German neurologist Alois 

Alzheimer, who was the first to 

describe the symptoms and typical 

brain changes in 1906. 

Alzheimer’s is a slowly developing 

disease of the brain, in which 

nerve cells are slowly but surely 

destroyed, chiefly in the cerebral 

cortex, the limbic system and the 

brain-stem. Alzheimer’s is not a 

normal ageing process, but a 

specific disease of the cells. Nor 

is Alzheimer’s a disease affecting 

only marginal groups of the population. 

It can strike anyone. 

Even a Nobel prize-winner is not 

protected from Alzheimer’s! 

However, highly educated 

patients can conceal and dissemble 

loss of function for longer. 


Anatomical background 

The human brain is the most 

important organ of the central 

nervous system. It consists of a 

Alzheimer’s can affect anyone 

huge number of cells, differentiated 

from one another in 

appearance and function. The 

most important and common 

cells are the nerve cells. Each 

person has roughly 200 billion 

nerve cells. 

A nerve cell consists of a cell 

body with the nerve cell 

processes (dendrites) and the 

cylindrical extensions (axons). 

The synapses are where they 

touch a neighbouring cell. 

Exchange of information via the 

synapses occurs by means of 

chemical messenger substances 

(neurotransmitters). 

The brain is responsible for all 

our activities, both conscious 

and unconscious. It is often 

described as the ‘seat of personality’ 

in each of us – with all our 

feelings, thoughts and capacities. 

The brain is connected to 

the body’s musculature via two 

thick nerve cords, and is thus 

able to direct actions and behaviour. 

Cause of illness 

It is true that doctors and 

researchers today understand a 

good deal more about changes 

in the brain and the course of 

the illness than Alois Alzheimer 

did, however the causes are still 

not known. Current research 

into the causes is focusing on 

genetic disposition, metabolic 

disorders in the brain, toxic poisoning, 

the side effects of medicines, 

hormonal disturbances 

and environmental factors etc. 

In the last few years awareness 

has increased that the illness 

begins with accumulation 

of a protein in the brain, which 

clumps together as fibrils (small 

fibres) and is deposited as 

plaque. These unnatural protein

synapse 

Cross-section through a nerve cell 

deposits give rise to inflammation 

which favours further protein 

deposits. These deposited 

layers probably prevent the 

nerve cells communicating with 

each other. As time goes by 

these nerve cells then die. 

Whether the deposits are the 

cause of cell-death however, or 

only an accompanying symptom, 

has not yet been fully clarified. 

Nor has a complete explanation 

been given yet for what 

triggers these deposits. Scientists 

suspect metabolic underfunction 

or malfunction in the 

brain cells, lack of cell metabolism 

substances, lack of vitamins 

and minerals, and possibly also 

oxidation damage to brain cells. 

Course of the illness 

Specialist literature states that 

the first sign of Alzheimer’s disease 

is forgetfulness, passivity, 

moodiness and emotional withdrawal. 

Those affected and their 

relatives often notice memory 

problems at the onset of the disease. 

Gradually other complaints 

arise and patients’ 

cell nucleus 

dendrite 

mental capacities decline, until 

they find it hard to recognise situations, 

objects or people. Ordinary 

daily activities become 

more and more difficult, such as 

washing or dressing, until the 

patient can no longer manage 

them at all. Alongside this come 

mood swings, depression and 

even loss of any sense of reality 

with delusional symptoms. 

Symptoms of the illness can 

grow so pronounced that the 

Background 

axon 

patient becomes wholly dependent 

on nursing care, no longer 

knowing who he is, where he is 

or in what period he is living. 

The photos clearly show changed brain areas in Alzheimer’s disease 

(above) contrasted with normal brain function (below) 

Treatment of Alzheimer’s 

disease 

So far there is no treatment for 

the cause of the disease, although 

there are diverse medicinal and 

non-medicinal ways of affecting 

symptoms and the course of illness. 

Nowadays mainstream 

medicine has access to drugs by 


17

Background 

Everyone can take preventive measures against Alzheimer’s – you too! 

means of which memory can be 

improved and behavioural disorders 

temporarily alleviated. Of 

particular importance for patients 

suffering from dementia, however, 

is human care and attention, 

appropriate ways of 

handling odd and conspicuous 

conduct, activity and occupation 

for the patient and an environment 

that is geared to dementia. 

Alzheimer’s disease and cell 

vitality substances 

The course of Alzheimer’s disease, 

and its prevention, can be 

positively affected by the targeted 

use of cell vitality substances. 

Brain performance 

B vitamins are especially important 

for brain cells’ energy production 

and use, and necessary 

for maintaining the myelin 

sheath of nerve cells. Coenzyme 

Q10 and carnitine improve 

energy supply in the brain’s 


nerve cells. Coenzyme Q10 also 

simultaneously works as an 

antioxidant to protect against 

free radicals. 

Enhancing information 

links 

In Alzheimer patients, acetylcholine 

levels are often very 

low. This most important messenger 

substance in the brain is 

necessary for passing on information 

to other cells. Choline, 

inositol and pantothenic acid 

(vitamin B5) are important constituents 

of acetylcholine. 

Choline also enhances the effect 

of vitamin E as antioxoidant. 

Intercepting free radicals 

Intake of antioxidants is an 

especially effective and natural 

way of intercepting free radicals. 

For this purpose vitamins C 

and E should be given. Vitamin 

C is an energy supplier for nerve 

cell metabolism and protects 

against oxidation damage. Sele- 

nium too, and pycnogenol, take 

on defensive functions against 

free radicals. 

Lowering homocysteine 

levels 

Since Alzheimer patients show 

increased homocysteine levels, 

it is advisable to lower these 

with the help of cell vitality substances, 

since homocysteine can 

be toxic to nerve cells. 

Homocysteine is an intermediary 

breakdown product of the 

essential amino acid methionine. 

There are two ways in 

which homocysteine can be further 

processed in the metabolism: 

firstly, with the help of 

vitamins B6 and B12, and folic 

acid, homocysteine can be 

changed back into the amino 

acid methionine; secondly 

homocysteine can be further 

metabolised with the help of 

vitamin B6. 

The use of cellular medicine in 

treating Alzheimer’s aims to give 

an optimum supply of cell vitality 

substances to both healthy 

and already deteriorating nerve 

cells. Only by this means can the 

nerve cells regenerate and fulfil 

their function. There are no 

findings as yet from clinical or 

pilot studies about the use of 

cell vitality substances in 

Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer studies 

“Alzheimer’s and Vitamin E” 

Alzheimer’s disease patients 

were given 2000 IU of vitamin E 

daily, which is 60 times the 

RDA, resulting in a significant 

delay in the progression to 1 of 

4 major milestone symptoms: 

inability to perform basic daily 

activities, admission to a nursing 

home, progression to severe 

dementia or death. Patients taking 

vitamin E did not experience 

these events for another 230 

days compared to placebo 

patients.

Alzheimer’s disease – 

dementia, vitamin C, ascorbic 

acid, dehydroascorbate, 

free radicals 

Ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbate 

levels in the 

plasma and CSF of 12 patients 

with senile dementia of moderate 

grade Alzheimer’s type were 

found to be significantly lower 

than 15 young, healthy volunteers. 

An intravenous infusion of 

2 gm of ascorbic acid in 5 of 

these patients showed an active 

transport process for vitamin C 

from the plasma through the 

blood-CSF barrier. The study 

confirmed the free radical scavenging 

function of ascorbic acid 

in the central nervous system. 

Monitoring ascorbic acid levels 

in the plasma of demented 

patients is recommended because 

of its protective role in the 

free radical process that occurs 

in dementia. The amyloid pre- 

cursor proteins aggregate only 

in the presence of free radicals. 

Vitamin C may reduce the harmful 

effects of free radicals in the 

brain.

Gerontology and Geriatrics,

Alzheimer’s disease, – 

vitamins A, E and 

carotenoids 

This study of Alzheimer’s and 

multi-infarct dementia patients, 

compared to nondemented elderly 

controls, found that in the 

20 Alzheimer’s and multi-infarct 

dementia patients there were 

significantly lower levels of vitamin 

E and beta-carotene than 

controls. Vitamin A was significantly 

reduced only in Alzheimer’s 

disease patients. 

Vitamins A and E and the 

carotenoids act as free radical 

scavengers and their deficiency 

may increase the degenerative 

neurologic process in the brain 

and thereby exacerbate dementia.

1992; 21:91-94. 

Alzheimer’s disease – 

thiamin, vitamin B1 

Seven females and 4 males who 

were between 59 and 83 years 

of age with Alzheimer’s disease 

participated in a double-blind, 

placebo-controlled, crossover 

study evaluating the effects of 3 

g/day of oral thiamin 

hydrochloride for 3 months 

compared with a placebo, 3 

times daily. Results showed that 

the Mini-Mental State Examina- 

Studies 

tion was higher during the 3 

months with 3 g/day of oral thiamin 

hydrochloride than with 

the placebo. These patients 

were not thiamin deficient in the 

conventional sense, malnourished 

or alcoholics.

Alzheimer’s disease 

and Inositol 

In a double-blind crossover 

study, inositol at 6 grams per 

day versus glucose for 1 month 

each was carried out in 11 

Alzheimer’s disease patients. 

There was an overall improvement 

in the Cognitive Subscale 

of the Cambridge Mental Disorder 

of the Elderly Examination 

(CAMDEX) with inositol but it 

was not significant. Language 

and orientation improved significantly 

more with inositol than 

the placebo. There were no serious 

side effects. The authors feel 

that higher doses of inositol 

should be studied in Alzheimer’s 

disease patients for longer periods 

of time.

Background 

First-hand report 

My father is 84 years old and has 

Alzheimer’s. About two months ago 

his nurse took part in a seminar on 

Alzheimer’s disease at a private 

clinic. During the seminar it was 

reported that some patients were 

receiving vitamin preparations and 

that this led to improved memory 

function in many. My father has 

now been taking Dr. Rath’s cell 

vitality substances for the past two 

months, and we can hardly believe 

the improvement. His short-term 

memory is getting better and we 

can now converse with him. He is 

also already showing the first signs 

of being able to solve problems. I 

know that these improvements are 

not measurable according to strictly 

scientific perspectives; but for us it 

is a blessing to see how his condition 

is improving instead of degenerating 

further through this 

appalling disease. On behalf of my 

father and our family: many warm 

thanks for your health recommendations!

Questions and Answers 

OPC has recently been hailed as a “new” remedy with sensational 

properties. What is OPC? 

OPC stands for “oligomeric procyanidins”. These belong to the 

group of secondary plant substances (flavonoids) and have a 

highly antioxidant effect. This group of active ingredients is in fact 

not “new” but a group of substances that has long been known, 

The major claim for OPC is that is possesses greater antioxidant 

properties than vitamins C and E. This is true, but vitamins, minerals 

and amino acids also take on other very specific tasks in the 

body alongside their antioxidant effect. For instance vitamin C is 

indispensable for building up collagen. B vitamins are, among 

other things, co-factors for enzymes which fulfil important functions 

in the body. 

Secondary plant substances cannot take on these special functions. 

Their sole use therefore does not lead to optimum supply 

of essential cell vitality substances. 

Dr. Rath’s vitamin programme also contains secondary plant 

extracts, such as bioflavonoids, pycnogenol and EGCG (green tea 

extract). The cellular medicine formulae thus also use their 

antioxidant properties to support the action of vitamins. jg 

Local information evenings on Cellular Medicine 

Following the overwhelming response to Dr. Rath’s series of lectures, the Dr. Rath Health Alliance is 

organising local information evenings on Cellular Medicine. Experienced advisers will inform interested 

people about Cellular Medicine’s scientific achievements and the use of Dr. Rath’s cellular nutrients. 

There is no need to register for these information evenings. 

Good seats are assured for those who come on time. 

We look forward to welcoming you to these events!

News 

Pharmaceutical industry 

subject to severe reproof 

Doctors should in future only 

prescribe hormone remedies for 

menopausal complaints in individual 

cases and after detailed 

discussion with the patient. This 

is stipulated in a guideline from 

the medicine commission of the 

German Doctors’ Association, 

presented in Berlin on 

23.9.2003. Nowadays, according 

to the German Health Ministry, 

roughly four to five million 

women – or 43 percent of those 

aged between 50 and 70 – are 

receiving hormone drugs. While 

these can alleviate complaints 

such as hot flushes or sleep disorders 

they are also thought to 

be responsible for an increased 

risk of cancer and cardio-vascular 

disorders. Out of 46,000 new 

cases of breast cancer each year, 

hormone preparations are suspected 

of being implicated in 

10,000 cases. Over a period of 

ten years, 127,000 women will, 

in statistical terms, have contracted 

cancer solely because 

they took these medicines. 

Bruno Müller-Oerlinghausen, 

Chief of the Medicines Commission, 

issued a severe reproof to 

the pharmaceutical industry. He 

said that this industry had 

“manipulated the views” of 

researchers and doctors to such 

an extent that the risks of hormone 

replacement therapy had 

been underestimated. Doctors 

had reacted too late to warnings, 

he said. Three years ago 

already, the US media had published 

detailed reports showing 

that hormone therapy was of little 

use but entailed high risks. 

Since medical research was 

largely sponsored by the pharmaceutical 

industry, said Müller- 

Oerlinghausen, it was therefore 

also dependent on its interests. 

In view of a market volume of 

roughly 500 million euros for 

hormone preparations, the 

industry was making “financial 

exertions” to bring “scientific 

professional associations into 

line with it, circumventing and 

subverting critical scientific 

arguments that opposed its 

sales-orientated interests.” 

On 22.9.2003 the German 

Health Minister Ulla Schmidt 

had already advised extreme 

caution in using hormone treatments 

for menopausal symptoms. 

Hormones should be 

prescribed, if at all, for as short 

a time as possible – no more 

than six to twelve months – and 

be taken in a low dosage. With 

each year of intake, the risk of 

cancer rises by ten percent. 

Focus online, 

23.9.2003, 

Doctors want pharmaceutical 

groups to fund them 

Berlin. German doctors who 

treat patients covered by health 

insurance want the pharmaceutical 

industry to share in the 

costs of their further training via 

a “further training fund”. The 

aim is to facilitate further training 

that is independent of product 

promotions. Following new 

health reform legislation, there 

is now a greater duty to engage 

Studies 

in further training. At the same 

time it has been stipulated that 

this must be organised “free of 

commercial interests”. Many further 

training events for doctors 

are currently (co-)funded by the 

pharmaceutical industry, which 

uses them to present their products. 

This proposal has met with 

mixed reactions from the industry. 

The federal association of 

medicines producers considers 

this proposal to be “out of touch 

with reality”. The manufacturers, 

it said, continued to be 

interested in “individual contact 

with doctors”. 

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 

5.9.2003 

Small bodies, 

big need for nutrients 

Since children develop at an 

astonishingly swift rate, both 

physically and mentally, they 

need a good supply of vitamins 

and minerals. The Apotheken 

Illustrierte reveals which nutrients 

give children energy and 

how they meet these needs. 

Some vitamins and minerals 

enhance each other’s effect. For 

example vitamin D and calcium 

work hand in hand so that 

bones grow uniformly. The 

body forms vitamin D itself from 

light falling on the skin, and 

dairy products supply calcium 

which, in addition, is important 

for heart and muscle activity.

Active advisers 

Infomation evening once more a complete success 

On 8 September 2003, adviser 

Werner Pilniok once again 

invited interested people, 

patients, product users and 

advisers to an information 

evening in Wünschendorf. He 

was able to publish an announcement 

about it in advance, in a 

local newspaper (see photo). 

Over 90 people responded to 

his invitation. Werner Pilniok 

was supported by Matthias Rath 

B.V. staff member Kuno Menges. 

After some introductory words, 

video clips of Dr. Rath were 

shown, taken from a programme 

broadcast by Baden 

TV. Many former patients 

reported informally on their 

positive experiences with Dr. 

Rath’s cell vitality products. 

Werner Pilniok and other advisers 

were happy to speak to 

those present about their experience 

of local advisory work. 

The next information evening is 

already planned for 27 October 

2003 in Wünschendorf.

3rd Natural Medicine Health Day in Marburg 

Udo Krehl prepares samples of cell fitness products 

As an adviser in the Dr. Rath’s 

Health Alliance, I took part in 

the third Natural Medicine 

Health Day in Marburg. This 

event was organised by the Natural 

Medicines Day Clinic in 

Marburg. Over 1,000 former 

patients of the clinic and 400 

therapists received an advance 

invitation. Between 10 am and 6 

pm many interested visitors 

came to the event at the St. 

Peter and Paul community centre. 

There were over 20 exhibition 

stands, well attended at all 

times. As an adviser couple we 

experienced a very great deal of 

interest at our information 

stand. Many asked us for advice 

and took advantage of the 

opportunity to try samples we 

had there from the cell fitness 

programme. The free information 

leaflets were also in great 

demand. 

Many doctors and naturopaths 

also came to our information 

stand and consulted us about 

the possibility of treating so- 

called endemic diseases, including 

cancer, with cellular medicine. 

At our own initiative we 

were also able to collect many 

signatures for the European 

“Natural Remedies Referendum”. 

The health day also offered 

many interesting specialist lectures, 

held in two rooms 

throughout the day. We experienced 

a very positive response 

to the lecture I gave on “The 

importance of cell vitality substances 

in natural cancer treatment”. 

Many sufferers took 

information away with them. I 

took my leave from the organisers 

of the event by saying: “It’s 

great that such events take 

place.”

Wittenberg seminar was fantastic 

I had great expectations of the 

training course in Wittenberg. I was 

particularly pleased that the training 

was led by such highly qualified 

medical professionals. I think 

the tutors also enjoyed themselves, 

for they were continually surrounded 

by students hungry for 

knowledge and full of questions. 

The training course showed every 

participant that there is still very 

great demand for well-founded, 

basic knowledge. The basis for a 

good general medical training was 

laid in Wittenberg, and it is then up 

to every adviser to make of it what 

he wishes. I particularly liked the 

good supervision of students and 

the healthy food on offer. The 

whole atmosphere at the Dr. Rath 

Health Academy was arranged 

with great care and attention to 

detail. That’s something every 

adviser should treat himself to at 

some point. I wish the Health 

Academy a steady influx of interested 

people! 

Carry on the good work! I’ll be 

back soon.

join in or even reply. But I will 

not cease in my efforts to urge 

them to do the right human thing 


and play their part. I owe that to 

myself as adviser in Dr. Rath’s

Dr. Rath’s 

Open Letter Campaign 

FROM BLACK OUT…TO FLICKERING LIGHTS… 

TO A COUNTRY BATHED IN LIGHT 

In following the progression of 

opinions regarding Dr. Rath’s 

ongoing open letter campaign, 

it appears that there is an apt 

parallel with the blackout that 

occurred recently on the east 

coast. To summarize: 

First there was total darkness, 

fear and disbelief. 

Then, slowly, the lights began 

to come on again, with 

trepidation at first…then 

growing acceptance. 

And then…the bright lights 

made it possible for everyone 

to finally see. 

Subject areas covered in Open 

Letters 

Although the Open Letters varied, 

there were consistent 

themes that have been woven 

throughout the campaign. 

Those key themes were: 

• Bush and Blair and their 

deception 

• The illegal war in Iraq 

• The threat against the UN 

Charter 

• The ‘Business with Disease’ 

• Determining the public’s 

awareness of related issues 

• What the public knows and 

thinks about Dr. Rath 

Dr. Rath’s Open letters have been running since February 2, 2003 

and, as of this writing, through September 23, 2003. Following 

are the dates and headlines of the open letters: 

2/2/03 We Are No Longer Willing To Sacrifice Health And 

Peace! 

2/28/03 Mr. Bush, This War Is Not a Sign of Strength But 

of Desperation! 

3/9/03 Make Health – Not War 

3/20/03 Pharma-Cartel War Plans Can No Longer Be

Please note: man-on-the-street interviews began with the publication 

of the 6/1 Open Letter. An analysis of trends prior to 6/1 is 

based on anecdotal information only rather than the video testimonials 

that followed.

Dr. Rath Health Foundation 

In general (once again on an 

anecdotal level), there were 

mixed reactions to the Open 

Letters at the start. The war was 

fully supported in this country 

and most people thought it 

unpatriotic to disagree with the 

President of the United States. 

Dr. Rath’s early open letters 

flew directly in the face of a 

country so in denial that they 

could not openly or comfortably 

consider a differing opinion 

because to think it was to feel 

less secure about the idea that 

the government was protecting 

them and telling them the truth.

Even though these earlier open 

letters were shunned by some, 

there was also a group of citizens 

who did not look away 

and, unpleasant as the truth 

was, they admitted that what Dr. 

Rath was saying could not be 

denied. 

BUSH AND BLAIR AND THEIR 

DECEPTION 

At first, people on the street 

were not open to believing 

Bush and Blair could start a war 

for personal gain..or that the 


war was sponsored by special 

interests. But over the course of 

those few months, more and 

more people said, “I agree with 

Dr. Rath”…and further, they 

stated that “I’m glad someone is 

speaking out.” 

Of course, there were those 

who dismissed the Open Letters 

saying that “we needed to go 

into Iraq to oust Hussein and to 

fight terrorism” – a connection 

we now know was concocted 

by the administration and the 

media. 

But they did talk about how 

Bush and Blair had aliened so 

many countries and made us 

appear like “bully nations”. It 

seems that Dr. Rath’s open letters 

gave many people the 

courage to be as bold as his 

statements. And they liked 

knowing that someone in a 

position of power was fighting 

back…with words. 

THE ILLEGAL WAR IN IRAQ 

One need only look at the 

polling numbers at the beginning 

of Dr. Rath’s Open Letter 

campaign to see how strongly 

the war in Iraq was supported 

by the American public. Cries of 

patriotism were heard everywhere…but 

not in Dr. Rath’s 

Open Letters. Those pages and 

half pages in the New York 

Times and elsewhere were passionately 

expressing opinions 

counter to the country’s collective 

mindset…opinions that are 

now believed countrywide. 

Bush’s current plummeting 

polling numbers attest to the 

power of what Dr. Rath has 

been saying. 

Furthermore, Dr. Rath’s insistence 

that it was self-serving 

politicians and special interest 

groups like the pharmaceutical 

industry and petrochemical 

industry that had the most…if 

not everything to gain from an 

illegal war. As awful as it was, 

the US had entered the war to 

benefit a few industries that 

would stop at nothing to gain 

the advantage. In particular, 

people were becoming more 

and more suspicious of the 

pharmaceutical industry 

through Dr. Rath’s statements 

because Make Health it was - beginning Not War! to 

dawn on them that this industry 

was capable of any wrongdoing

Or you can help build a world of health and peace. For this new world you need to stand up!” 

Matthias Rath, M.D.

Many people said they had not 

heard or read about the threat 

to the UN Charter. In many 

ways, they were negative about 

the United Nations altogether, 

perceiving them as weak. Dr. 

Rath’s Open Letters made clear 

just how important the UN 

Charter is and how urgent it is 

that we voice our opposition to 

dissolving that Charter in any 

way. The 200 Nations that Dr. 

Rath was asking to protect the 

Charter from being destroyed 

were not the only ones to be 

awoken to the fact that the US 

was retroactively asking the UN 

to condone an illegal war. 

Many people voiced frustration
