Hey, everybody. Welcome to Brandenburg News Network. I am Donna Brandenburg, and it is the twenty second day of August twenty twenty five. And we're doing a special edition tonight with Rick Hill. And we're going to be talking about beating cancer naturally. Now, you guys have all heard my story about what happened to me. Rick hasn't heard that yet. And this is the first time I've talked to him in person. So this should be a lot of fun. If you can, I would love to see you take this link and pass it on to all your friends so we can get more people here to watch our show tonight. Hey, Rick, how you doing? Good. This is really exciting. As you know, I grew up in Michigan. Yes. And the east side of Detroit. So, yeah, we have that in common. Well, we're on the other side. We're by Grand Rapids, the Grand Rapids area is where I'm from. I go over there a lot, though, so it's all good. I actually lived in Grand Rapids for four years. Oh, did you? Yeah, off Plainfield Avenue. Oh, yeah. Nice, pretty area. It's real rolling. Michigan is so pretty for those of you who are not from Michigan. It's so pretty and it's rolling and And really, really a beautiful state all the time. So I guess I'd like to hear your story and we can talk about what motivated you. First of all, I was diagnosed with incurable cancer years ago. So we kind of have a lot in common here. And I just basically said, nope, we're not doing your plan. I'm done with this before it even started, really. And it sounded like you and I are pretty similar in in how we approach things, but I don't know. So can you tell me your story from being diagnosed to then what you found out and what you really learned about cancer? Well, the year that all this got started for me, I was twenty four years old. So it's been fifty years since I was diagnosed. And I was at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester and they did eight and a half hours of exploratory surgery on me to look around because there were no scans, you know, CT, all PET scans, all that. They haven't been invented yet. So to find out how far my cancer spread, they just started cutting. And I've got like a sixteen inch scar where they just kept at it. So when I came to, I'm going to shorten the story, when I came to a couple of days later, They had, I was full of morphine and they said, we cut on your neck and we found cancer because it's in your lymphatic system now. And that's like a super highway. And we also found it in your feet. Now I don't know how you're set up, but your feet to your neck, that is pretty much the game plan. That's everything. So they said, we're just, we just sewed you back up and we didn't do anything. Uh, Now that we know how extensive it is, we could start chemotherapy and then their voice trails off like it's not going to help. Right. And their underlying current is, but you're going to die anyway, right? I mean, it was so scary because I was twenty four years old, just newly married. I was the administrator of a Christian day school and doing a good job. I felt that they were happy with me. I was happy. And all of a sudden, I'm derailed. And I thought, golly, I work for God. You know, shouldn't I be exempt from having anything like this happen? But it was a germ cancer, germ cell cancer, which means I probably had it from birth. So my mother's cornbread and beans and fried skillet meals that, you know, she learned in Alabama probably didn't cause it for me. But it didn't help it either. I mean, when you're eating at McDonald's three times a week, that really doesn't help you. So there I was. Now, I saw you were a woman of faith. I saw in your introduction. Yes. That's the point of life. This little bit of my story will be welcome. That was a Friday and they were scheduling for chemo on Monday. And Friday afternoon, I get a letter in the mail. And the letter is from a Baptist pastor who was also a John Bircher. Now, do you know that term at all? Yes. Okay. He was the John Birch Society member. And he used to come speak at the Baptist college that I graduated from. And he would spend the first twenty minutes or so getting us out of the UN, you know, or the Fed or whatever it was. And me and all my little hoody buddies that were there, we were Detroit greasers, you know, and we would sit in the back row and go, here we go. Here we go. You know, here's what's wrong with America. But now this guy sends me a little letter and says, Dear Rick, If you want to live, you're going to have to leave the Mayo Clinic. And I read that a couple times over. And he put his phone number on there. I dialed him up. I said, John, what is the matter with you? I am at the Citadel of Modern Medicine. And he said, I agree with that. And I said, well, what do you mean leave the Mayo Clinic? He said, look, Rick. They know medicine and they know surgery and they know radiation, but they don't know much about your immune system or diet. And I said, well, okay, where do you think I ought to go? He said, well, I know a good one. You fly into San Diego and I just could feel a setup, you know? And I said, and then he said, yeah. And what's next? Yeah. Then you're going to get on a bus and go down to Tijuana. I was dumbfounded. I had been to Tijuana. And I said, I don't think of that as a citadel of medicine, John. He said, no, it's not. But it isn't medicine you need. I don't know how to get this through your thing. He started getting all wound up. And so I said, well, what are they going to do for me down there? And he said, well, it's a nutritional place. And they really understand nutrition. They're going to teach you how to eat and all that, how to juice and how to fast. And it's really neat. And I'm thinking, oh, what am I going to get? And I said, well, get to the medicine. What are they going to give me to stop my cancer? He said, well, not a lot, but they do use a natural apricot. I'm sorry, John, I thought you said apricot. He said, I did. I said, well, I don't think of an apricot as a cancer cure either. He says, well, it really isn't the apricot peach part that you take. But inside that pit, there's a really nutritious, looks like an almond. And they're not big. I mean, I can show you one. I eat about twenty of these a day. And they're very bitter, you know? And he said, there are cultures that live on those and they've never had cancer. They die when they're a hundred and twenty and off he goes, just like the, you know, the John Birch speech. And I said, okay, okay, okay. I got it. I think I got it. I said, look, John, let's do it this way, man. I respect you. I respect what you believe. But I said, I'm going to go see my chemotherapist right now. I'm going to get in the car and drive to the Mayo Clinic and tell him what you just told me. And if he doesn't cuss me out, I'll call you back. So he said, okay. I went over there, told him what I've just told you. And Donna... I thought he was going to rear back and let me have it, you know. But instead, he leans back in his chair and he says, you know, Rick, it is warm this time of year in Tijuana. And I said, okay, message delivered, I think. Yeah, what's the point, right? He was saying to me, we can't help you anymore. So what difference does it make what you do? You're beyond our help. And we don't think Tijuana is going to help you either, but knock yourself out. And I said, okay. And I left there, went home. My family had gathered Donna to say goodbye to me. See who gets a gold watch. I'm down to a hundred and twenty pounds. Wow. My my wrist and my arm. are the same diameter. I look terrible. I look like a scarecrow. And so I, we gathered that night after the dinner and I got up and said to my family, I'm thinking about leaving the Mayo Clinic. And I looked around the room and they're all gone. Yeah. Like you've lost your total mind. Right. And I had good insurance, you know? And, and I said, I'm thinking about going to Tijuana and, And bedlam. Now, my family, I guess because they're Detroiters, were very demonstrative. My brother, Sam Hill, if you can believe that, said to me, Ricky, we always knew you were stupid. We just didn't know how stupid. And I said, well, thanks, Sam. I appreciate that vote of confidence. And I went around the room and I got to my dad and he went, ditto. And I thought, man. You know, I should be getting a little comfort here, a little. I got to my father-in-law. He stood up. He said, I like it. I'll take him down there and I will help pay for it. Wow. And I said, deal. Now, think about this. It's kind of like the servant of Abraham that said, I being in the way, the Lord led me. That's how I found the wife and the camels, you know, that whole story. Because, first of all, the Mayo Clinic doctor flummoxed me. You know, well, it's warm down there. Go ahead. I didn't know how to handle that. Then I get home and report to the family. And this guy says, I like it. It sounds good to me. I'll go and I'll help pay for it. Wow. So two days later, I left for Tijuana and to take a Detroit greaser out of his element and send him down to, to, uh, I'd never seen anything. I've never been in a health food store before this. And, uh, It was a totally different world, but thank God because Dr. Contreras put me on the exam table, unbuttoned my shirt, saw this scar that was that long. And he went like this. I said, doc, I'm a little fuzzy on, you know, did I goof? Should I go home? What do you want to do? He said, no, no, none of this had to happen. None of, I think we can get you well if, Rick, you understand this is participatory medicine. If you're willing to do what we ask you, I think we can succeed. If you're not willing to do what we ask you to do, we'll fail and you'll lose your life. Can I be any clearer than that? And I said, nope. Message delivered. Yeah. I mean, everybody's just slaying me with their speeches here. And three weeks later, Donna, under my own power, I walked out of that place. Wow. Gaining weight, colors back, off morphine, feeling better, but not totally. Holy cow. You know? I mean, my life started over. And what I want your listeners to know is that you hear these people speak and they say, you got to believe. You got to have the time and all that kind of thing. Do you really think that I thought this little clinic in Tijuana, Mexico could accomplish things that the Mayo Clinic could not? I had doubts. My wife got on the plane with me when I left because her father was with me. And we were both crying. And I said to her, I think, sweetie, it's a one-way trip. I was prepared that my life was now over. But I did make a commitment like you did. When you changed your diet for five years and your diet probably still is changed a lot. I'm still, I'm still a vegetarian and so, but, but I eat, I'm not totally vegan. So I do, I do eat like cheese and a little bit of fish and that sort of thing, but I'll never eat. I'll never eat mammal meat or pork, beef, chicken, anything that's a higher life form than fish, I won't eat. And I eat that pretty sparingly. Good for you. And I follow my program. In fact, if you look at my cell phone and you look at the alarms I've got, they're set all the time. for ten and two. See the little green button? Yeah. They go up. In fact, one of them just went off half hour ago. And that's because, now can you tell I'm seventy-four? I'm now writing things down. I don't forget them. Grandpa Red Care. I take these at ten and two. If you want me to explain them how they work, but there's only three. What is it that you're taking at ten and two? Pancreatic enzymes. What a beautiful thing. When you were being born, your cells were reproducing at a rapid rate like a cancer cell. And a Dr. John Beard back in the twenty nineteen twenties did a lot of study on that. And he said, how did the mother stop that rapid cellular division? And he found out that in the second or third month, her pancreas would produce massive amounts of what's called chymotrypsin. Blood the baby with it through the umbilical cord and the mother would get it. And so you didn't die. Your mother didn't die because they were using pancreatic enzymes to de-mask the cancer cells. When cancer cells want to protect themselves, they have a protein coating that can turn into a tumor. Those enzymes remove that. And God gave you an immune system that is so amazing. Killer cells, macrophages, macrophages, just all kinds of things. But if they're blinded from even seeing the cancer, then you have to turn to chemicals and chemo and radiation and things. And, you know, because they don't think that's true. Well, when I got cancer at twenty four years old, I looked down at my umbilical cord and it was gone. Where's my mother when I need her? Right. So I found a way to get around my mom not being there. I take those every day at ten, every day at two. Why? Because we all have, in my opinion, We all have cancer cells and we need to trust our own bodies that given the right food, like you do, and given the right way to deal with how cancer works, our immune systems clean up just fine. And then I take a little bit of B-seventeen, one of those capsules and a little B-fifteen and that's it. That's all I take. The B-fifteen is produce energy. And the B-seventeen is like these seeds that I showed you. They have that nitrilicide in them. Have you ever eaten an apple seed? Oh, yeah, I eat apple seeds and I eat the apricot kernels too. And so absolutely. That was one of the first things that I did. And then I started eating apple cores. And I'm like, well, if the laetrile's in there, I'm going to just start chucking the apple seeds in. And people will say, oh, you know, it's got cyanide and it's going to kill you. I'm like, pretty much extra sure you're wrong on that because I'd have been dead by now, right? Yeah, it's bitter almonds. Yeah. And it's from the apricot kernel. I like them. I think they taste good, actually. They're a little bitter, but you just chew them up. And I chew them up and I mash them between my teeth. And then I keep them in my mouth until they lose that bitter taste. And then I swallow them. And you get a kind of an amaretto finish, don't you? Yes. It tastes like amaretto. Amaretto and apple seeds too. A couple of days ago, I ate an apple and I took the blade of the knife and dug out the seeds and threw them all in at once. It's almost identical to the apricot seeds. It's a good thing. It's a good thing. And some cultures really, I met a guy yesterday at a hotel. We were doing a, you know, dog and pony show there. And I said, where are you from? And he was not from, you know, struggling with English. And I pointed to the apricot kernels that were sitting on our booth. And he goes, I've been eating those my whole life. He said, this is nothing new to me. I said, well, then let me ask you a question. Anybody in your family ever get cancer? He said, we don't know what cancer is. And I said, friends? Nope. Old people? Nope. He said, we all die. You know, our bodies just give out after a while. But he said, you people have so many diseases in this country. And it's got a lot to do with the way you live. The diet, you know, we went on and on. But yeah, like you, he'd been eating them. And I've been doing this for fifty years. I've never taken chemo. I've never taken radiation and I've never relapsed one time. I call that thank God. You know, when I see people struggling and they lose their hair and they get mouth sores and, and then they die, you know? Everyone I've ever seen who has taken the cures that they espouse, the cures are always worse than, in my opinion, than just saying, I'm checking out of this hotel. Most of the people that I know that have taken the chemo and such, in fact, my oldest son was diagnosed with cancer when he was eighteen. You want to talk about something that's tough. That was tough. He was diagnosed when he was eighteen and they said, we can get rid of this cancer, but he's going to get another one in twenty years and that one will kill him. So trying to make a decision like that. And I just looked at him and said, I can't make this decision. You have to make it. And he just decided, I'm done with it. And so he he was done. And now he's been cancer free now for, oh, my goodness, twenty years. About twenty years. He's been cancer free. Define done with it. You mean he did not take the chemo and stuff? He didn't take any treatment and he just decided that that he was he was done with it. He said he we have such a strong faith in God and we really do. He literally was just like, yeah, I'm done with it. Went on, planned his next day coming out of surgery and literally never looked back. And so that was kind of interesting. And then when I got there, I was already predisposed to be done with all of their little sham treatments and extortion methods. to use people's suffering in order to make money, because that's really what it comes down to. And I'm pretty raw into the point with my opinions on this, because when you really research it, they can only cure two percent of any cancers at any point in time. It's your immune system, as you said, that gets rid of the rest of it. And quite honestly, we're going to have to get off this little satanic system of poison food and all of these other things that interferes with what God created for us. He has the plan. He made our bodies to know how to heal ourselves. We just have to start following the plan a little bit, talking to him, asking him when he wants us to change and pretty much extra sure he's gonna give us a lifeline out of this situation because I believe as you do that he has all sorts of things here. to help us when when things don't go exactly as planned. That's that's exactly to the point. And and good on him or at that young age to be that intuitive. I was already twenty four, so I was no kid, you know. But what? He was eighteen. Eighteen. Yeah. Yeah. You know, when I guess growing up in Detroit, you become a little intolerant of some things. And the government was closing us down in the nineteen seventies from any of this. In fact, I had to smuggle. Do I look like a smuggler to you? Well, you might. Nobody knows anymore, right? You know, I took I took bags of B- seventeen capsules. and filled the plastic bags with them and shoved them in my underwear. Oh, that's funny. To go through the border. I guess I looked a little chubby at that point. And it was ridiculous. But I didn't want to be thrown in jail. And I only weighed, then I weighed about hundred and twenty five pounds when I left there. But I did. And so the government was this guy right here. I work with this company. This is his picture, Dr. John Richardson. Yeah, John's been on my show too. What? John's been on my show too. Oh, good. All right, great. So his father, unfortunately, took the brunt, the slings and arrows that I could have taken because they arrested him, threw him in jail, took away his medical license, just killed him. And, you know, so I was called to testify for a Senate investigation committee, Mr. Teddy Kennedy. What a difference between Robert, you know, Bobby and Teddy. Holy cow. But what they believe. I love, I love Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He is just amazing. I've gotten to meet him and what a, what a wonderful individual. I'm with you. When I saw him cross that platform at the RNC and shake hands, I looked around the room and said, that is a Democrat. And wait till I tell you what I did to his. OK, so I'm at this testifying at this thing. And Dr. Richardson was there. He spoke. And I put a whole pile of these capsules in my hand, took them out of the jar so they saw the jar. And I had a glass of water and I said, now every one of you legislators thinks that that's enough to kill any adult. Yes? And they all went, yes, fine. I threw them in my mouth, drank them down with the water. I said, now it'll take me two or three minutes to tell you the story that I agreed to tell you about how I got well. And then I'm going to go over there and sit down. You see if I'm starting to foam white at the corners of my mouth and if I'm grabbing my throat and keeling over. I said, but I got news for you. No one has died from this stuff. You can eat so much of it, you'll get a tummy ache. But no one's died. And so I went over and sat down and everybody after me to get out and speak, they, they'd look at them and listen to a while, but then they go like this. They're waiting for you to die. They're waiting for the, you know, Liam, I'm going to die. And they cocky little, you know what, you know? And I said, I don't care. You're driving us underground. You're making it. So it's difficult to get well, and you just want to sell. food coloring and preservatives and drugs and surgeries. I went in for an annual checkup maybe three weeks ago. I go every few years. And I had at one time a torn rotator cuff. I was wrestling in college. And those are really painful when you get to be my age. I'm seventy four. And so they X-rated. I was, I had to pray about that if I wanted that. But they confirmed it and said, yeah, you know, you've got it. And we got to do surgery pretty soon. And the doctor says to me after my checkup, he says, how did that surgery on your shoulder turn out? And I said, I didn't do it. He went, what do you mean you didn't do it? And he said, I saw your x-ray. You should have done it. I said, well, I said, I thought about it, but I bought this book about how to do the right exercises. And then I bought this stuff called DMSO and they use it on animals that hurt themselves. And I said, I just, you know, put it on my shoulder and I said, I'm, I'm eighty five, ninety percent fine. And he clamped his file folder shut. He said, yeah. And some people think if they eat apricots, they'll get over cancer. He didn't know my story. And I said, doc, I eat apricot kernels. And he looked at me, he said, anything else for me today? And I said, no, or tomorrow. And he walked out of the room and slammed the door. they really get mad when you question their little authority that, you know, that they, they really don't want to list your, any of your questions. And they do, they get mad if you question the great medical institutions that they've come to and all their wonderful knowledge and such, you know, you can be, you can expect to be met with either patronizing. Sure. It's going to work. It's going to be, you know, And they lower their glasses. Sure, I'm sure this is going to work out just fine with you. You know, I'll see you next week when you come in here and you're dying. You know, that sort of thing. Well, I did go back to the Mayo Clinic. A lot of people want to know. Did you? And I made an appointment with the surgeon that did that crazy surgery. And he saw me come through the door and he went like this. Because I put on some weight, my color was back and all that. And he looked at me and he went like this. Like, stop. And so I stopped in my tracks. I didn't enter totally into the room. And he said, I want you to know something before we start talking. Nothing you did in Tijuana could have had anything to do with this apparent recovery that you've had and I said what do you think I did what what happened to me doc he said it looks to me like you had a natural remission you know about a half a percent do and we don't know why it just goes away I said well let me ask you a follow-up question I was here at the mayo clinic over a month I was in tijuana for less time than that why did this natural remission happen the months, you know, the time I was in TJ, rather than here at the Mayo Clinic? He said, medicine is an art and a science. We don't know the art side. And I said, well, look, Doc, let's just cut to the chase. You look like a bright guy, but looks can be deceiving. If you were a healer, you would have taken one look at me and said, look, good for you. I don't know how you did this. I don't believe in what you did, but sit down in that chair and tell me in twenty five minutes how you did this. And I will study it and see if it's just magic or God or you made it up. He wasn't the least bit interested. This is a man who took a scalpel and cut on me for eight and a half hours. And you don't think he'd be a little curious how I did. And now I'm talking to you. Fifty years later. I mean, come on. And they know every year they send me a questionnaire. How you doing now? How you doing now? And after you have cancer, you realize that that question is, are you dead yet? You know, that's kind of what they're looking for. They actually want to see, I believe they really do want to see that decline unless it comes from their little hands in their, I am God, the doctor handbook that they pass out in med school. You know, that was my experience with it too. And I'm pretty irreverent about cancer because having been diagnosed with incurable cancer, I was pretty much done with it. And, you know, when I think people like you and I go through something like this, the strength is that... you know, to be able to make those choices, those really hard choices that contradict all of our biases. I've been talking about biases a lot lately and I've been writing, doing a lot of writing. I'm going to write a book on it. And, uh, just to explain the psychological biases and how they keep us trapped in systems that work against us. A big one is honestly talking to people like yourself or myself who basically told the whole cancer industry to shove it. Because, you know, when you go through it and you see that the dollar signs are flashing before their eyes, standing on the right shoulder is the hospital systems. The left shoulder is big pharma. And there's no good angel involved in this interaction on the shoulders at all. Let me tell you, those shoulder angels are all bad. Because it's about the money. And they really don't care about people as a whole. Not at all. There may be some people out there that are doing their jobs because that's what they know. But they don't take into consideration the things like, what are you doing that's contributing to it? Like you said, the exercise, your diet, all of these things that treat a human being as a whole person. And which is kind of shocking, you know, I'm going to be sixty one next month. And what people look sixty one. Oh, thank you. What people figure out is that when you get that diet cleaned up and you get things figure out that makes the body run better and. it's unbelievable how everything changes. Like how much oil do you have in your diet? If you don't have a high oil diet in, in that you're operating on, you're going to be sick. And I mean, that's your, that's your whole body. And a good evidence of that is how fast your fingernails and your hair grow. If you, uh, if you're getting enough oil and protein, man, you turn yourself into a chia pet. And I mean, fast, you know? Yeah. That's like every time I go in and get my haircut, the gal cuts my, my hair goes cha-cha-cha-chia and starts like, you know, peeling the hair out. But that goes, that goes back to what you're saying is that you've got to make decisions on your diet. Now, what else did you do diet wise that made a huge difference? Did you go vegan? Did you, vegetarian. What are you now? I did for five years. And then I went down to Boston to a clinic run by a lady named Ann Wigmore. Now it's in West Palm Beach, Hippocrates. Oh, I know the people that run. I know the people that run that they go to Hippocrates. Yeah. And I went there like in nineteen seventy seven. And a guy named Victor Colvincus was there and Ann Wigmore. And I mean, this was, this was out there and they taught us sprouting and they taught us juicing watermelon, which you don't hear about much. I bought a champion juicer. I wore two of them out. Oh, wow. Yeah. If you know anything about a champion, you can hardly pick it up off the counter. You know, it's not a little flimsy thing. And I was living in Grand Rapids at the time. Okay. And in winter, you know what that's like on the west side. Seriously, yes. A lot of snow effect, yeah, the lake effect for the snow. And I would go buy watermelons during, now you could get the seeded ones that were not chemicalized and all that back then. But I'd buy every week five or six watermelons. And this same lady was the checkout lady. And finally, after about three months of this, this lady says to me, can I ask you a personal question? Sure. What do you do with those watermelons? And you don't care how much they cost. You know, the price fluctuates by the time of year. And I said, well, funny you should ask because I don't even eat them. Well, now she thinks I'm some kind of cult, you know. Yeah. And I said, no, I juice them. I say I cut the ends off so it's not all rind. But then I slice up the center with the seeds and the little bit of rind that's around. And I run them through a juicer. And for three days a week, I drink this watermelon juice. And then at the end of the three days, I do a colonic. And she goes. And I said. if you don't know what a colonic is, think about water skiing really fast. And then just sit down. That's a colonic. And she thought she was going to call security. I got a crazy guy here. I said, no, it just, it isn't as weird as it seems. But I am so clean that I squeak when I walk. And I didn't get over a hundred thirty five, forty pounds. until I was almost into my fifties. Oh, really? Because if you're reading like that, fasting three days a week, doing colonics, I mean, people would come up to me at the end of a show that I would conduct and they'd say, I know exactly what you're doing. And I would say, great. And then this guy, I'm looking at him. He weighs maybe three fifty. And I'm thinking to myself, God love you. You're not doing what I'm doing, or you couldn't, you couldn't go through life like this and go into any supermarket and watch the people leaving. They're clinging to the handles of the food cart and, and look in the cart to see what's in there. It's a percent sugar and the rest of it's chemical, you know, they might have an apple. but certainly not an organic one. And it's heartbreaking. What is it about our life here? We have been blessed beyond belief. What is it about this country that we take these kinds of blessings and do everything we can to end it early? What is it? Yeah. You know, I don't, But to answer your question, I do that kind of thing. Now I weigh one hundred and sixty now. Still not a big guy. That's amazing. I'm seventy four. I take no prescription drugs and I, I feel good. I do have a little limp lip. Thank you for the Mayo Clinic. You remove that much lymphatic. Later on in life, you get a limp fluid. And I'm working on it. I'm reading all the time how to get rid of it. I did not take the shot. I didn't take the vaccine. Lost a job over it. So what, you know? Do you know who you're talking to? Yeah, you do cancer. So, I mean, that seems pretty minimal at that point. You're going to threaten me with that. I don't think so, you know. But... It's a thrill to see that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. If we'll leave us alone, we'll just stop poisoning ourselves at every turn. And yeah, you know, so good for you. Think you should be congratulated because you are on the right side of history here. If what we're seeing take place right now in our government can continue for four, maybe nine years, we could turn this thing around to where what we do, what you and I do is normal. And what the people that are trying to kill themselves becomes very abnormal. And insurance companies pay people to stay well. Not when they get sick. The whole thing needs to evolve, you know, one eighty. And what you're doing and what I'm doing to a smaller part is helping that to happen. I'm not sure you're doing it a small part. It sounds like what you faced took true courage and bravery because you jumped off of the pressure of everyone around you. I mean, I think that is so, so really sad. And it really shows that the people around you have a harder time dealing with it than you do when you get a cancer diagnosis every single time. I used to get together with a friend of mine who was diagnosed with, with cancer and we'd go out and we were, we were campaigning for president Trump because she just wanted president Trump get in. That was it. So built a billboard and she and I jumped in the truck and we would drive around with the, with the Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump It can be to be around your loved ones who they're they feel helpless. They don't know how. And then they project, oh, my gosh, this is how I'd feel if I got cancer. So now they're not only afraid of losing you, but they're afraid for themselves. And and it kind of makes it more difficult, you know, if people had a little bit more faith and say, you know what, we're going to we're going to do this together and such and help each other out instead of inserting their stress into the situation. It usually goes better, you know. Well, you remember I said I was a principal of a Christian day school after I had come back to the school, you know, and I was physically able then to take the full work day. This little boy that was part of our school came walking up to me on the playground and he's carrying his lunchbox and he grabs the thing and opens it. And he says, you did this. And I said, what did I do? And I look inside and there's an apple, there's an orange, there's carrot sticks, there's granola. He slams the lid shut and he goes, I used to enjoy lunch. Oh, no. You were working to help and be healthy. How dare you? I mean, our culture. Well, you know, look at look, look at Saturday morning cartoons, you know. All the sugar cereals get trotted out and fruit loops and and, you know, I don't even know what they are now, but. How about oatmeal? That's not so bad. What are your favorite foods that you eat now? Besides, do you still juice with the watermelon three times a week or three days a week? No, I don't. I did that religiously for five years and I do it several times in a year, do a fast and a series of colonics. But I do, I'll take two or three days and just eat watermelon, which is a form of fasting really too. Very alkaline, has a lot of vitamins and minerals, and it flushes your system. Ann Wigmore was on to something. And so I do that. And we try and eat one big salad a day, you know, vegetables, with all kinds of stuff in it, not just iceberg lettuce and, you know, no, lots of things. What do you typically put in a salad? Well, we put avocado, we put like salad frisee, you know, a really nice form of lettuce, the typical things. But we also put in chopped up cooked vegetables sometimes in there. And instead of using salad dressings that are, you know, mostly whatever, I like coconut amines. Aminos. Okay. I've never tried that. What is that like? So delicious. You can get it at even like Safeway or, I don't know, Piggly Wiggly, or I don't know what stores you have. But I get the organic version, and it's called Coconut Aminos. Really? And it's instead of using, you know, on rice, putting all that real salty stuff on it, That is so delicious. Every salad is enhanced when you use a little bit of that. And then lemon, fresh lemon, we squeeze. Oh, that sounds really good. Oh, I'm telling you what, it's heavy duty. And we eat a lot of fish. I live in California now. Okay. Yeah. And, you know, this is like the end of the world. I mean, I don't know what happened out here. They took the most beautiful state in the world, maybe, next to Michigan, of course. Well, they're trying to destroy Michigan right now. So I think we're following the craziness out there at this point in time. But what's happening in California? Well, you know, Newsom and his crowd, they are just dismantling everything. I was working downtown San Diego for a while at an office building. I could not park my car because so many people had defecated on the parking lot. Oh, you got to be kidding me. Overnight. Wow. There's guys with hazmat suits on and, you know, a big back on their back with the, with the chemicals. And, and I'd walk toward where I, and he'd go and I'd say, well, where, where can I park today? And he'd point three blocks down that way and two blocks that way. And, you know, all the encampments that they're putting people, just let them. I had one guy, I'm walking on the boardwalk or near the thing. And I said, what a beautiful day, hon. He says, where do you live? I said, well, right now I'm living in El Cajon. And it's not an expensive part of town or anything. And he said, yeah, I heard about it, but we don't want to live there. And I said, where do you live? He said, what are you talking about? I live on the ocean, man. And I said, what do you mean you live on the ocean? It costs millions of dollars to live on the ocean here. He said, you see that van right there? That's where I live. You don't get to live on the ocean because you think that that's beneath you. Well, I like living on the ocean and I'm going to stay in that van and be in a city that lets me do it. Now he's the Yeah. I felt like saying, do you really want to have this conversation? Yeah. But that's how they look at it. They look at it that everything is here to be given to them. Well, no. When I was in the tenth grade, I was running the largest shoe store in Detroit. And I paid my mother rent to live at home. I didn't expect people to take care of me. Today, everybody wants free. And I just think that that dehumanizes society. How can you say you're helping other people if you're just waiting for them to give you things? That is so epidemic in our nation right now is that you've got the parasites that are filling in and pretending to be politicians, but all they are is they don't produce anything. They just show up. They produce nothing. And they take from us, yep, zero. And they take from the rest of us and expect to have these big salaries and big houses, but they don't do anything really for anyone. They go from one fundraising party to the next fundraising party to the next. Nothing gets changed except for the burden on the American people who actually work and pay taxes just gets heavier and heavier. And I'm going to tell you what, if we don't put a stop to this asset capture where they have going on with our natural resources, our resources, as well as our water and what they're doing to the farmers, I'm going to pretty much guarantee you that we're going to wake up someday and realize that they have literally changed. taxed us into non-existence because we're going to be fighting for water rights for food rights and you better know and hope that you know a farmer and or somebody who can kind of MacGyver their way through anything because I don't think there's very many people that actually have um uh enough knowledge on how to survive without being able to go to their local store and just be able to buy something I mean talk about the dependency on the system that goes for health care you know and I really think it's important for people to start planning for this sort of thing because I personally believe that we it's not when it's going to crash it's going to or it's not if, it's when. And we need to prepare ourselves not to be afraid, but to equip ourselves so that if there's a transition, we're already trained up, ready to go, and there's no problem, right? Well, look at what happened in California when all those Beverly, you know, along the ocean, all those houses burned to the ground, and the firemen hooked their hoses up to the fire hydrant, turned the thing, and nothing came out. And Newsom says, yeah, well, was a program we had and and I shut the water off yeah then we find out later this you know what decides that he's going to put substandard housing on the ocean so that people who've never had a chance to live on the ocean can do so at the government expense Well, that's on the expense of other people that are working to get free stuff. You know, I mean, it's just another form of slavery and impoverishing a whole population. I got a gift for all your viewers. No money. What's that? If they will log on to myworldwithoutcancer.com. My world. world without cancer dot com we will send them an electronic version of g edward griffin's book and this everything I said about the mother giving birth and the tropoblastic theory of cancer and then in the front of the book uh or in the back of the book the last half there you go um it's the politics of what happened with cancer therapy So that's exactly what you just pulled up. And if your viewers will log on to that, they will get the book for free. And then I've got Too Young to Die. This is that little book that I wrote. And I'd be thrilled. They would love to read this book because it's got all those stories in it. My first trip to a health food store, my first colonic, you know, just. And I give them how I got well. And if they want to get these three products that I showed you, and if they'll buy those in what's called the Rick Bundle. The Rick Bundle, huh? Very original. Is it on the website here, the Rick Bundle? Yeah, go up to, you know, a little magnifying glass. Okay. Search thing at the top and put Rick Bundle in there. You'll see it. Oh, there you are, Rick. And then we've got Rick Pro. Now the pro is if someone was being treated and the prevention Rick bundle is for people that want to stay well and don't want to get sick. And you'll see my book is in the picture. It's absolutely free. It's a twenty five dollar value. And if they don't laugh out loud at least once, then I'll refund the money that they paid for the book, which is nothing. There you go. But what we want, it's exciting to think like I set my watch and take these things so that my body says, all right, I got what I need to keep you well, Rick. You're not killing me and then expect me to fix you. It's exciting to be in that. It's exciting to be part of the solution. And not part of the problem. Every time I see Bernie and AOC, I always say to myself, what have they done? Except cash our checks. Both of them live in big mansions with fences around them. And they're against billionaires. What are you talking about? He hasn't spent five minutes. working like you work. And it's good for you. You know what's sad? I mean, when you look at the things that really separate people's spiritual health, they either worship the world, the material world, or they worship God. And people chasing their tail for these huge amounts of income Like what the politicians are doing on the backs of other people. I really believe that they don't even have the ethics to understand that what they're doing is wrong. We have a product. We have a project going on in our neighborhood right now. And I've been talking about this dewatering that they've been doing here. They've pumped over three hundred million gallons of water and flushed it on the water table. We have seven wells in the area that have failed with people without water and they don't care today. They just decided to up the project. to ram it in quicker and the corporations, I believe, are paying for it. And they have no concern for people. They're literally being, their houses are becoming unlivable and nobody's stepping up to help or get the word out there. There's literally no one because all the oversight agencies, everything is hiding this. And when you look at the cancer industry and such, and the politicians taking the money, you look at the absolute lack of ethics or caring for the human beings around them. What you're doing is so positive. It's taking an experience that could have been construed as bad and turning it around, not only to get yourself healthy, but to help other people find alternative ways of doing something that are more than helpful. They're life-saving. Yeah, you know, you can lead a horse to water, you know, the old saying. I got done with a seminar one time and this good old boy comes up to me and he hasn't missed a lot of meals. And he says to me, you people make me sick. And I said, well, I didn't mean to. In fact, I was hoping for the opposite. You act like if we ever eat at McDonald's, we're not going to heaven. They said, I never said that. In fact, I think you'll get there quickly. You got to look at me and stomped off, you know, but it's just the different way to look at it. Oh, I want to mention before we sign off here. Yeah. You have made an arrangement that your viewers can save ten percent off of the price if they want to get some of these products, if they'll put brandenburg and they gotta spell it right uh b-u-r-g if they'll put that at the end of the order uh discount code and write brandenburg on there they'll they'll save a little bit of money Oh, that would be neat. And then, you know, it would be really nice is to take because I don't accept money from things. And so so what would be really cool is to kind of donate that ten percent to help somebody who is struggling to be able to afford the product. Because, you know, I would really like to see everybody have access to all of this sort of thing. And that that's a that's a I think that might be a nice way to do it. What's that? That's a good, worthy goal. It's a good, worthy goal. Remember, my father-in-law stepped up and my church, First Baptist Church of New Ulm, not a big church, like a hundred, hundred and fifty people. And they had bake sales and sold cars and did what they could so I could stay alive. And that's because they believed in what we were doing at the school and It's nice to be a part of something that has meaning instead of just gouging everybody for things. You know, it's really what's really shocking is when when you do those random acts of kindness or that you really care enough about people to to reach out to them and meet them and where they are. I mean, I think that that's so important. And and and knowing people around you and knowing what they need, taking that time to actually Get to know the people that are around you so you can be helpful. That's so important to invest in the people around us and our time and just our ability to care for them, which clearly you're doing because you're also reaching out to people and letting them know that there's another way. And I think that's just wonderful. Well, this has been a real treat. Yes, it has. I always end our show with a prayer and then I go to last words. Would you like to pray today? Why don't you pray for everyone today and giving them hope and that we have a Heavenly Father that just adores us and is always there with us. So go ahead and you pray and then I'll end it with my traditional to twenty twenty two protest. Very good. Thank you, Father, for a chance. to get together and talk about things that are meaningful and offer people hope. And I would define hope as helping other people escape. And that's why we're here. Thank you for those early road signs of that Mayo Clinic doctor who said it was warm in Tijuana. And thank you for my father-in-law who had stood in the gap. And thank you that if we will be in the way, The Lord will lead us. In Jesus' name, amen. In Jesus' name, amen. Well, thank you. And thank you for coming on here. You have a great story. And I'm glad that you're well and healthy and, you know, and that you listened when God nudged you in that direction and the people around you, too. So thank you so much. So here it goes, boys and girls. We go to ding, ding, ding, ding. Go to BrandonBurkeForEver.com because I'm the best non-conceiver who's ever not conceded in the history of the United States of America. And I'm going to have a discussion. With the rightful president of the United States, President Donald J. Trump and cowboy boots, I'll wear them better because I wear them every day. And then we'll talk about this and that and then fix the world. Okay. And so with that said, everyone, God bless you. God bless all those whom you love and God bless. America. Make it a great day. Make good choices. If you want to be healthier, it doesn't just sort of happen. You literally have to invest in yourself in making healthy choices. That means cutting out some things that you might enjoy, but that are bad for you and switching it out. And I can tell you that when I went vegan for five years, my tastes actually changed. Things that were that weren't so sweet, tasted sweeter when I got rid of the sugar. And then all of a sudden, everything tasted better. And it was just better. You know, so what you think you may be losing, God is going to replace it with something better. And all you got to do is have faith in him. So I will be seeing you guys Monday. And this is my last broadcast for the weekend. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Stay on the line, please, Rick. And thank you for coming on today. This was a delight.
