Hulda Clark Question?!

Well, the obvious leap from that is her methods don't work. She can safely be referred to as a charlatan.

Edit: Goodnight Rhianna!

Edit: Nosey, she died of cancer, not "something." Would it be illogical to say that someone who claims to be able to cure cancer, should also be able to cure their own cancer? Sorry, forgot who I was talking to.

Maybe if we take it to a superhero universe? "She has the power to heal everyone. . .except herself"

Edit: "Ok, we get it. She died of cancer and she claimed to be able to cure cancer. Big oxymoron there. So are you saying that no one ever died of cancer while under proven, scientific, evidence based medicine?

I thought as much."

It is not an oxymoron, but situational irony.

You make a poor analogy. She only took cases of terminal cancer, in which the chances of spontaneous remission are 1:60,000 according to her website. She has "testimonials galore" of having cured said cases. Science-based medicine doesn't claim to cure terminal cancer, hence the "terminal." Do you understand?

Everybody ends up dying of "something". No one has ever claimed to be able to heal everybody of everything all of the time. Especially not conventional medicine, which rarely if ever cures anyone of anything.
The skeppies are bent out of shape because decrepit and insane Stephen Barrett launched a fraudulent lawsuit against her for his own financial benefit and lost. He did this a lot. And lost. He's now about to get the coup de grace from Doctor's Data. The so-called quackbuster is a quack and busted.

Apparently Hulda couldn't cure the universe's wonderful sense of irony.

Heck here's what the "godfather" of alternative medicine, Andrew Weil , had to say about her: "No studies have backed up [Clark's] bizarre claims, and it’s unclear whether the cancer patients she’s supposedly cured ever had cancer to begin with."

The ideological and cognitively dissonant alternative medicine loonies think Hulda Clark is some kind of martyr. The truth is she was just a simple fraudster. The evidence is in.

EDIT: @thenoseknows, Doctor's Data are an appallingly fraudulant quack outfit - you are either too narrow minded to see or a part of the nonsense yourself.

"The complaint asks for more than $10 million in compensatory and punitive damages. The suit objects to seven articles on Dr Barrett's web sites. Dr Barrett asked them on at least two occasions to specify the inaccuracies on his site, but of course they didn't (because they couldn't) and instead reached for lawyers."

EDIT: look what I found - a copy of Hulda Clark's death certificate. Cause of death: Multiple myeloma. ie; cancer of plasma cells, a form of lymphoma.

Spot on. The wicked old fraud claimed to be able to cure all cancers, and became very rich fleecing desperate and vulnerable people.

Know why those defenders she still has claim she couldn't cure her own cancer? They say she couldn't use her famous zapper because of the arthritis in hr hands. And yet... she claimed to be able to cure arthritis too.

Clark wasn't a medical doctor and her MO was to diagnose the cancer herself, then claim to have cured it - so patients would believe themselves to be cured of a cancer they never had in the first place.

She was run out of the US after she falsely diagnosed a Department of Health undercover agent with AIDS, telling her 'I can treat you here. It's a one minute test and it's all electronic'. She then told the agent she was 'full of the virus. And we will cure it in three minutes'.

Clark was a fraud and a charlatan exploiting the misery and desperation of vulnerable people to line her own pockets

The disgusting, deceitful, money grubbing fraud has killed her last victim, thank goodness

EDIT: Silly old thenoseknowsnothing! 'No one has ever claimed to be able to heal everybody of everything all of the time.' indeed!

That is precisely what Clark claimed. Her books included 'The Cure and Prevention of All Cancers', 'The Cure For All Cancers', 'The Cure For HIV and AIDS' ...and - wait for it - 'The Cure For All Diseases.

That's THE. CURE. FOR. ALL. DISEASES. By Hulda Clark.

In case anyone thinks I'm making this crap up - from her own website: http://www.drclarkbooks.com/

Ah, yes. The quack with the zapper.

Her "theory" wasn't based on evidence. Hell it wasn't even based on any reason.

In short, reality doesn't care what you believe.

Edit: Nate! I couldn't sleep without saying hi to you.

Ok, we get it. She died of cancer and she claimed to be able to cure cancer. Big oxymoron there. So are you saying that no one ever died of cancer while under proven, scientific, evidence based medicine?

I thought as much.

People die. They get old, get sick and die. Its the natural order of life. But what we do have is a choice about how we go. Do we want to have a good quality of life or decay slowly over time and waste away. That is the key. If someone CHOOSES to live in concert with the natural rhythms of life or fight it until the end, that is their choice and nobody should tell them that they are doing it wrong, because truly, at the end of the day, we are all trying our best with what we have and are making the best of what we know or believe to be true.

The skeptics don't like her because she went dared to think outside the box. Read this http://www.drclark.net/en/testimonials/c…

Some say she died of complications from a spinal cord injury, and not from cancer. More research into this is needed....
