To me, it is more important to find the cause and unleash the body's own powers to heal than to cover up the symptoms with a pain pill. Give the body a chance and you will be amazed at what it will do for you. You can make yourself well without a drug (chemical) in many cases.
Our Creator knew what He was doing when He gave us regenerative powers to heal damaged tissue, repair diseased organs, and grow new cells to replace the damaged ones. A doctor should be looking for ways to trigger these responses. The result will be much happier patients. After all, they come to the doctor to get well, not be maintained on chemicals.
Practicing this kind of medicine does have its disadvantages. When a doctor tells you that you have 90 days to live, you had better die before your time is up or he stands to “lose face” with his predictions. In many of my unconventional treatments, patients made the first 90 days feeling better each day and have passed the annual anniversary of the date they were first told they would die. This makes me truly happy!
In 1984 I was taken to court by the state of Arizona via the medical profession for fraudulent schemes and because I knew a health store owner and spoke with him on occasion, this made both of us co-conspirators and we went to jail for conspiring to commit fraudulent schemes. Can you believe that? I had to go to jail and lose my license to practice medicine because people got well and refused to die on schedule. In 1995, another judge that was not part of the original case to nail me, overturned this conviction, but could not give me back those lost years and the lost lives of many the patients who died because I was unavailable. Many were on the road to recovery, but had to settle for death as a result of my conviction. Many families were torn apart because an important part of the family had died. Is that fair?
Of course no one testified against me for saving their life, but the damage was done by “experts” that weren't familiar with my techniques or treatments. In fact, in 1986, when all my options were closed to practice medicine anymore, I became a fugitive and left my country to set up life in another country, another continent, yes in South America to be exact. I was able to get established as a licensed health care provider, in fact the only Osteopathic Physician in Ecuador.
I just could not bear to see years of suffering take place in my patients when a cure was certain for them. Many did suffer for years before they found me and had their suffering end in optimal health. I believe we were put on this earth to live and not exist with disease. Again, getting rid of symptoms just doesn't cure the disease!
If you would like to reverse your particular disease or health problem, email me at rwickman@doctor-cancer.org It might even entail that you make a visit to Ecuador for concentrated healing programs to enable you to return to your home in a getting well mode rather than a dying mode. It's your life and your decision so don't accept the alternative when it may mean being separated from your loved ones.
I have always wanted to be a physician since high school. Many of my uncles were of the M.D. type of practitioner and I saw how they chased symptoms. I did not want to follow suit. The Osteopath profession appealed to me for many reasons and I have not been sorry for this decision to become an Osteopathic Physician & Surgeon.
After I did my tour of duty in the Army, I enrolled in the Kansas City College of Osteopathy & Surgery. Now, it has a new name. University Health Sciences. It is still in K.C., MO, but under a much bigger and nicer atmosphere. In 1959 it was KCCOS for me! I graduated in 1963 and went to Tucson, AZ for internship. I liked this part of the country so much I decided to practice in Scottsdale, AZ where I was told the road would be tough there. I really did not expect what I was dealt!
By this time I had two daughters and a son on the way. I had no silver spoon in my mouth so had to get right with it and start seeing patients in an office environment. I would have loved a residency program, but it was not to be.
By 1981 I had 6 children to take care of plus a wonderful wife and mother of them all. My family came first and even though they did not approve of my maverick methods to deal with dying patients, they stuck by me when the going really got tough.
The first few years were spent as a traditional family practitioner. In fact I was made a certified family practice practitioner through examination and the years of experience. It was not the title that made me feel accomplished, but the suffering patients who were able to experince a cure rather than a maintenance program that allowed them to live with their disease. My cancer patients were being referred to an oncologist. When it became evident, because of my referral, that these folks were dying from either radiation poisoning, or chemical poisoning from chemotherapy and perhaps having parts of their bodies surgically removed, I decided there must be a better approach to healing. When my heart patients died from complications that could have been avoided, I knew there must be a better way to go. Hence my inquisitive search for cures instead of covering up the symptoms.
I have discovered that nature's own medicines are often the only “prescription” your body needs. You don't need drugs to get rid of high blood pressure or leg cramps. Many times a manipulative treatment will take the place of a drug to eliminate a skeletal problem.
Many times I used common sense instead of going for the “scientific” tests that make big promises. Being in Ecuador made me realize even more that the “Barefoot” doctor, the one who can not rely on all the specialists or fancy tests, has to rely on common sense. An expensive mammogram is no more effective for detecting breast cancer than less expensive treatments or blood tests. Many times nutrition will take the place of expensive surgeries for heart patients. EDTA chelation can be incredibly more effective as an alternative procedure.
Generally, patients want to live longer and be more productive. They want to maintain that energy level they once had. They needed to learn how to deal with stress as everyone comes in contact with stress in their daily lives.
I have survived the “quack” word many placed on me. Many are alive today because I didn't follow traditional methods. My wife urged me to return to the traditional methods I learned in school. My inner being would not let me return to this form of medicine. No way would I abandon my patients to drugs that only masked the symptoms.
Today my life's mission continues to be healing men, women and children through alternative procedures. Imagine your worst, nagging health problem clearing up..... or that feeling of constant fatigue being replaced by vibrant energy. Patients can even eliminate the visible signs of aging.
In Chinese medicine you pay the doctor while you are well. If you become ill, the doctor treats you for free until your health returns. Strange concept!
So if it is health you wish to recover and not maintain your illness, contact me and let's see what can be done to accomplish your desires.
