Cure cancer and virtually all other illness and disease with the “One-Minute Cure,” according to author Madison Cavanaugh? For $40 bucks, I plan to find out if there’s truth to this non-doctor’s or health professional’s BOLD claims.
Recently, I came across a YouTube video claiming a “one-minute cure” will heal virtually all disease!
…all disease?
Of course, this has nothing to do with credit, but I don’t just eat and sleep credit (& credit repair) either. 
My family, friends and I are not immune to all the bad that is out there. I too have had family and friends die from disease. I too have gotten sick from flu and colds.
I can’t wait to prove one way or another whether this Madison Cavanaugh (if that’s the person’s real name) has something real or something fake. At any rate, I will find out.
Check out this short YouTube video to see if you think this book is worth $40 bucks.
I watched the video; I read their information page at http://tinyurl.com/1minute-health-cure & I ordered the book.
Their 100% money-back guarantee made my decision for me.
I do not have cancer (not that I know of…or should I say, not yet).
When I saw this video, I immediately thought of “Miss Anne,” an amazing woman who’s been my son’s CCD teacher. A few weeks ago, we discovered (as the other kids and their parents discovered) that Miss Anne has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
Two weeks ago Tuesday night, I saw Anne. She looks great…no sign of cancer. With a family of her own, Anne has been on my mind since I heard.
Is the “One Minute Cure” a cure for anything other than a way to get $40 bucks out of me? Perhaps.
But, here’s my rationale: what if this cure works? What if it really works? Wouldn’t it be the best $40 dollars I’ve ever spent?
Apparently, the 1-minute cure works on a host of illnesses and disease including the cold and flu. To me, this is not about a cold or flu. This is about trying to save people’s lives, which is what I hope the author Madison Cavanaugh wants to do.
I hope this is not a ruse, designed to grab an easy $40 bucks and hope most people forget to demand a refund.
Back in October 2001, my grandmother passed away from brain cancer. From what my mother shares, it was a painful death. I last saw my grandma in July 2001, just 6 months after my son was born and just 3 months before she died.
I cherish the photos and video I have from that visit…and all the memories I have of her amazing influence on my life.
July 2001 is the last time I saw her alive.
It’s easy to say, “What if….”
Though I’m buying the book, I am apprehensive:
- Who is the book’s author, “Madison Cavanaugh?”
- What medical/science background does Madison have, since there’s no reference to any doctors, researchers or even the American Medical Association at http://tinyurl.com/1minute-health-cure. Now, I realize just a few years ago Dr. Lorraine Day (an accomplished surgeon) spoke out against the AMA and traditional cancer treatment in her scathing expose, “Cancer Doesn’t Scare Me Anymore.” I also realize many alternative health practitioners have believed for years the drug lobby controls the AMA and influences doctors’ treatment of cancer and other disease & illness. Still, I’d like to see empirical evidence of this “1-minute cure.” I’d like to see even a few “traditional” health practitioners side with the author on this so-called 1-minute cure.
For these reasons, I’m skeptical. Now, let me ask you, have you heard of this book…these health claims? Have you bought the book? Did you or the person for whom you bought the book benefit..at all?
If so, what specifically is the reason you bought the book (that is, to cure what?)?
What are your thoughts now? Please scroll down this page to leave your comments. For or against, please offer some tangible proof this works.
I wish it weren’t so, but cancer seems like a death sentence to me.
PS: Just as a reminder, no medical advice should be taken that’s not under the supervision of a doctor. Never discontinue any prescription for your disease treatment or medication unless advised to by your doctor, and advise him of any natural treatments you are taking in addition to your medical treatment.

The idea that Pharmaceutical companies worldwide could hide cures from everyone is absolutely insane. While these companies enjoy and unbelievable protection from the US government they do not enjoy the same in other parts of the world. Its a travesty that this BS is allowed to even pass as pseudoscience. It takes advantage of desperate people who will believe anything. Shame on those trying to make a buck off others unfortunate situation.
Be carefull purchasing this book as a downloadable item. I did and after printing a few pages I closed it. When I tried to open it later to do some more reading, I found that it require a password, which I do not have, therefor I no longer have access to the book to read further. The got my money but now I do not have access to the book. What a scam. Should have paid the few extra dollars and made them send me a hard copy.
Lyle, I’m sorry to hear this. Did you contact their customer service? Did you challenge the charge with your credit card issuer? Let me know what you find out. I wish you well.

Bill — Agree with most of your comments. Would just like to put in my two cents regarding Kevin Trudeau and Dr. Mercola. I have been studying alternative health for 25+ years, and when I first encountered Kevin Trudeau’s work, I purchased his first book, the original Natural Cures title. I discovered that I already knew 90% of what he said from all my years of study, but I also thought it was the best short primer I had ever seen for all the millions of people who haven’t spent their whole lives studying this stuff. It was extremely accurate, in other words. A few years later, in despair of ever losing extra weight I had packed on in just a few months at a sedentary, high stress job — weight I did EVERYTHING to lose, including starvation, Atkins, tweaking my diet over and over, all things that had once worked for me but no longer did — I discovered Kevin’s weight loss book regarding HCG. IT CHANGED MY LIFE. I have a brand new body. Even when I was anorexic in my 20s, I still had a bit of a belly and fat in places I didn’t want it. No more. Kevin’s problems are two-fold — one, he is a marketing man and he writes like one. There tends to be a huckster-ish tone to everything he does. It can be off-putting, but his info is carefully-researched and very accurate. Second, the FTC and the FDA have been hounding him pillar-to-post. The owner of the clinic I went to to implement Kevin’s diet advice knows him personally, and says Kevin has literally spent millions of dollars beating back the agents of big pharma , in essence, who are trying to shut him up. So if you Google his name you will find references to him being a “felon” and so forth. It is all pure harassment on behalf of the monied interests, courtesy of the Feds.
As regards Dr. Mercola — he, too, has that marketer’s writing style, but again, his info is extremely accurate. I have always thought so, but then found that my local holistic MD, who has helped me with a number of very difficult problems, mentions Dr. Mercola on his website, and after very carefully stating that he “doesn’t always agree with his tone”, strongly recommends that his patients use Dr. Mercola’s information to their benefit.
I know of no evidence that Kevin Trudeau and Dr. Mercola are connected in any way — but if they were, I don’t see what the harm would be. I am absolutely thrilled by the effects on my life that their information has had over the years, and I feel blessed to have discovered the works of both of them.
By the way, I lost 65 pounds using Kevin Trudeau’s advice regarding HCG, and I know of many people who are using a non-prescription, homeopathic version of the HCG to get similar results. It has changed my life and the lives of several people I know. It is like a heaven-sent gift. Please email me if you want a referral to the provider, as I don’t want to play the huckster here! lora.premo at yahoo.

Have really enjoyed reading what you’ve posted and have the very same questions you do not just on Cancer Therapy, but other sites as well on health. Let me first begin with my like belief that Pharma and traditional or mainstream medicine is no longer concerned with curing disease…..only in generating revenue. Disappointing, but I get that since I have been involved with Surgical devices for over 30 years and am very familiar with the dynamics involved in current medicine.
Anyways, I too have spent considerable time trying to research what is “out there” not only on cancer, but heart disease, diet, etc…..and it becomes exhausting and difficult to differentiate between legitimate and illegitimate info. Let me back up a minute and start with the initial incentive of my quest. 5 years ago I purchased a book by Dr. William Davis, MD, “Track Your Plaque”. He is a very unconventional Cardiologist in the Milwaukee area whose whole approach is to basically assess your current cardiovascular health with diagnostic images, see if there is a need for concern, and then take the necessary steps to try and improve/reverse by natural means and if nothing else, start documenting or tracking the results. Seems very logical and it is…..but mainstream cardiology today is only set up to be reactive, not preventative! Unfortunately, prior to my being able to start his process I ended up in the cath lab thinking I was only going to get cathed….and ended up with 5 stents, which today I strongly feel were unwarranted and I now know what a female feels like after being raped/violated.
Thats that, but it then started my quest for health, truth etc. Did the Trudeau books, and although I don’t have a total conclusion on him….at least he woke me up to the goals of Pharma and mainstream medicine…and its not pretty. I spend time online but don’t read a whole lot of books…..but one night saw Gary Taubes, author of “Good Calories, Bad Calories,” on a Larry King show battling it out with Dean Ornish, Mehmet Oz and Anrew Weil, all physicans who are experts on diet….and Taubes more than held up to anything they had to say through the immpeccable reseach he has done and is continuing to do. This book was a life altering one for me….primarily because he went into detail on how all of the info on Diet, Obesity, Heart Disease, Diabetes, etc, has gotten to where it is today….AND ANYTHING BUT THE TRUTH!!! Its unbelievable and he explains why!!! Not an easy read…..but should be absolutely required for anybody involved in nutrition or healthcare….in fact I use it as a now barometer to help determine legitimate vs illegitimate sources!!! You cannot argue with the work he has done and the myths that he has exposed…..which is basically in direct opposition to what we are told by government, Heart, Diabetes Societies, etc..
I just went to Milwaukee to meet with Dr Davis and he is everything i thought he would be and more…..very refreshing. Not that he is totally right on 100% of everything, but his goals are pure and honest and he is willing to change if the body of evidence dictates…..which is all we can ask. I have been a big fan of the Weston Price organization and the work Dr. Price did was waaaaaay ahead of his time. Dr. Mercola’s site offers some very good info…..my main problem with him is that he is always selling you something……and personally think he and Trudeau are llinked together. My point is this, when you find these resources its like a breath of fresh air and you begin to feel like you are learning fact from fiction. The info on most all of this is out there…..just hard to determine where.
One of my questions hopefully to the group is like yours…..lets hear from those that can share personal experiences on these sites/books whatever so we can begin to sift through all of this….and I’m sure all of this is out there! I have recently spent considerable time looking at sites like Karl Loren (incredibly lot of info), Bill Henderson, and others ….and they present very convincing data and background which is all anti-mainstream….but makes more sense then anything else. So whats the 1st thing we do to try and debunk these….you Google their name and then put in “scam”, “does it work”, or something else that will hopefully bring you to blogs like yours or other resources that might share personal experiences…..and generally you end up back on their websites rather than on one that might give you some additional info on their therories. Then I begin to think that maybe they “outfox” google and are able to design the searches to deflect you from any info that might expose them….I don’t know…..because I want to believe a lot of what I read…..but certainly would be nice to hear from those who, I know, are a lot smarter than I am and or savy at finding some of the “truthful info”.
Anyways, this has already become too long but really connected with what you have started and hopefully will hear more from others who might have llike info to share.
Thanks, Bill. It appears (we the people) really must take responsibility for our health & well-being…even if it means defying conventional medicine. I admit, it’s hard for me to believe pharmaceutical companies could be so powerful and ruthless, when it comes to life or death.
A young guy I met recently contracted cancer. He has the financial means to pursue treatment anywhere in the world. He was close to death when he said the hell with it and traveled to France and Mexico for treatment. Along his journey he’s become quite enlightened, both good and bad. He knows how (most) conventional doctors have been brain-washed. He knows the power-hungry pharmaceuticals. He also believes he’s alive today because he sought alternative treatment, not available to people w/o financial means.
What follows is what he emailed me the other day. Interestingly, he mentions the same doctor another contributor shared in these comments:
“Dr Burzynski is the mastermind of “antineoplaston” a natural anti cancer agent. Peptides and antibodies were at one time thought to be the path to good health. He had opened more doors than most in cancer research. Most people feel Dr B is a “QUACK”. I know (personally) a hand full of people who had gone to Texas that were terminal and are alive today. I also know first had about antibodies having had so many blood transfusions. If antineoplastons are bullshit then so are antibodies. The American Blood Bank will not allow me to get a transfusion without being typed for antibodies. Thanks for the thoughts and looking out for anything new or different. My first treatment in Mexico (1996) was called “Snake Oil” by my oncologist. Afterward, he (doctor) recanted his comments. We never know what is right or wrong, all too often we don’t understand the mechanics of every disease. The Doctor who first said arthritis was an auto immune disease lost his medical license for treating people.”
Indeed, Bill, we people are on our own it seems, should we or someone we know (and love) contracts cancer. I don’t have faith in chemo, cutting & radiation.
Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts. All of us MUST be searchers of the truth.
Mike
Dr Day sounds very interesting. Also of interest is the work of Dr Brezinski, who has been hounded ceaselessly since curing various cancers, and Dr Bill Bengston (not an MD) who has been curing incurable cancers in mice experimentally. Whatever the truth of the Madison Cavanaugh thing, big pharma does NOT want you to know that cancer can be cured.
Thank you, Lora, for mentioning Dr. Brezinski and Dr. Bengston, of whom I’ve heard but know little beyond name recognition. For everybody visiting this page and actively researching, please tell me what you know of a guy named Bill Henderson. I don’t know if the guy has a brilliant sale page to sell his report, or if he’s really discovered a REAL cure for cancer by helping MANY people…or so his sales letter claims.
http://curecancerathome.com/A/
Sadly, I’m very skeptical. Thanks to all who are taking time to contribute to this important conversation.
Mike
Mike, I think that the college for advancement in medicine (ACAM) may have a list of doctors that use this type of therapy. Good luck. (www.acam.org).
Excellent, Jay! Thank you for adding this resource. I definitely will look in to ACAM.
Mike
I don’t think there are many people out there that would stand up to a person twice their size! There are many reasons why people choose to ‘hide’. Some might be after the fortune alone without the fame…. This is a long debate. I think more importantly what we should concentrate on is whether or not this remedy works. From what I have read, there are no negative side effects to this food grade 35% H202 “Taken in the advised amount”. But, there seems to be a lot of contraversy over what H2O2 can do. In one article the cancer council recommends not to rely on H2O2 as a cure for cancer and goes on to say that there are promising treatments on the way.
In the end …. Who do you believe?
Fact = H2O2 cannot be patented.
Fact = The majority of alternative remedies cannot be patented.
These are not considered to be drugs. If one, or more than one of these things worked as a cure and were recognised, imagine the havoc from a business perspective for the drug companies.
Another problem we encounter is the scammers. These bad people will try and take advantage of anyone that resmebles a profit. Regardless of the consequences.
The last problem to the scale leaning the result either way is,,,, The medical profession itself. I can’t think of the word I want to use at the moment, but in general there is a lot of arrogance I think when it comes to change. For example, I know of medical textbooks that describe lever systems in different ways for the same analogy. One book states the fulcrum, load and effort to be in a certain place and then the other med text contradicts the info for the same body part. One is right. The one that is wrong just chooses not to accept it yet.
Many more contradictions exist in medicine/chemistry/biology.
People need to take control of their own life. Don’t take what the Dr syas as gospel and on the other hand, don’t ignore the advice either. I believe if something is not deemed dangerous and there is a possibility it may be beneficial, why not give it a go.
The unfortunate thing is, I don’tthink much research has been conducted on this topic.Why? Interesting question.
LOL too many why’s??????????????????????????????
Lets hear from people that have tried the remedy. Have you experienced a difference? Does it work for you?
Regards
More excellent points, Dan. Regarding this “one minute cure,” I wish I had answers, health-care professionals, researchers & lots of people to share their experiences, good bad.
Sadly, I don’t….
All I know is that years ago Dr. Lorraine Day had the guts to step out against conventional “treatment” of cancer. She must have known (to a degree) what backlash would befall her. I’m certain she couldn’t have anticipated the extent.
Yet, she did this…when she could’ve hidden herself behind a pseudonym.
Dr. Day instantly saved people’s lives by facing the firestorm.
She was a doctor – credibility.
She was a breast cancer survivor from HER alternative cure, not conventional medicine’s poisoning (chemo), burning (radiation) or cutting (scalpel) beliefs.
This is (and has been) my MAJOR problem with “Madison Cavanaugh” and his/her 1 Minute Cure: I do NOT like weak people.
If you truly have something that works, find the health care professionals like Dr. Day who will stand beside you. Get people cured by your “1 minute cure” to stand with you. Of course they will be HONORED to stand as a survivor with the person who has given them (back their) lives.
My gosh, if someone saves my life, I will do ANYTHING for that person.
At the end of the day, Dan, your points remain as extremely valid points:
1. “People need to take control of their own life. Don’t take what the Dr says as gospel and on the other hand, don’t ignore the advice either.”
Of course, you are correct. However, Dan, I’m not holding my breath. Whether health or credit, (most) people will not take responsibility for their well-being. For more than 10 years, I have witnessed people throw away $1,000s on the “easy button.” They hire credit disrepair companies, believing someone else will magically restore their credit. Without question, they turn over ALL of their most private, personal information (ss#, DOB, address, etc) to total strangers.
And then they’re shocked when their scores DROP or (worse!) they discover they’re being sued.
Most people (only as a last resort) will assume responsibility – research, question, test & commit.
2. “I don’t think there are many people out there that would stand up to a person twice their size!”
Once again, you’re right. Yet, I sincerely believe there are more of “us” than of “them.” I believe a good number of people question conventional medicine enough to cross the line when presented with a credible alternative.
I might be proven dead wrong – but I don’t think so.
3. “…too many why’s….”
YES. Too many ?????…not enough FACES and answers from health care professionals, researchers & survivors standing behind & extolling this or any other “1 minute cure.”
PLEASE, let us hear from people who have tried Madison Cavanaugh’s “One Minute Cure”.
Whatever your opinion, please help us with facts.
Thanks, Dan.
I appreciate your help.
Mike
I haven’t yet purchased the book, though based on my pre-purchase research, I think that Madison Cavanaugh and William Campbell Douglass II, M.D, are the same person. If you want to know more about the cure and develop a further understanding of the concept, you need to look up ‘hydrogen peroxide’ (food grade – 35% relating to human body anatomy & physiology). I think the ‘magic cure’ is based on the theory of food grade hydrogen peroxide.
Dr W C Douglass has written a book on hydrogen peroxide in the early 90′s.
goood luck – hope it works
Thanks, Dan. During my initial (but not involved) research, I too ran in to Douglass’ name. Why do you think the publisher or Douglass insisted on anonymity with this book? Why the “hiding?” Do you think this “hiding” diminishes the proposed cure? I believe it does….
Thank you for sharing.
Mike
I have read the discussion sourrounding the Madsion Cavinaugh and I still do not have a clue what you guys are talking about. It would seem to me that either the stuff works or it doesn’t. Which is it? Why so many questions? What is this magic stuff anyway? If it works I want some. Have any of you tried the product?
Just because someone says it works doesn’t mean it will work (or works) for everyone. If it doesn’t work for you, is it a scam? If it works for you but not for anyone else, is it a miracle? Before I take something or believe in something, I want to know about it.
I don’t possess blind trust…whether that’s a curse or a blessing.
Please do us a favor: buy the book and test it out. Report back with your findings. At least today, my health is great. I bought the book and passed it to a friend who is not okay. Unfortunately, my friend is not interested in breaking from conventional medicine.
Naturally, you can’t force anyone, let alone go with a program clouded in mystery…and touted by a “Madison Cavanaugh” who doesn’t appear to be a real person. If it’s so good, why aren’t doctors and satisfied customers coming forward in droves?
This explains a little about the questions, Ronnie.
Thanks for sharing your opinion. Please stop back if you have anything else to share or report about this “miracle cure.”
Mike
First thing I would like to say is;
Wow. Definitely a lot to digest from all aspects!
As sceptics, we all want one thing at the end of the day, and that one thing is the truth. Once we learn the truth or partial truth about something, I think we find ourselves at a crossroads junction where a combination of things within us ultimately decide which path we end up walking (living).
As humans I think we wish for the best within and for ourselves, but challenge the very essence of the entirety of the ‘wish’ or ‘faith’.
When we get sick, we see a doctor, simple as that. So in essence we place a wish subconsciously within ourselves and that wish is for wellness. This wish is directed towards the doctor treating you. So you are placing your faith in the doctor’s knowledge.
There are many questions for and against these comments I am making. My point with the above is not to stir the pot with its ingredients. My point is to step outside the square and take a look.
A natural human response is if it has no evidence, lack of evidence, or if at the end of the day I haven’t seen it with my own two eyes and it contradicts what I think I know, or do know ( hypothetically – through study), then it is not possible, or it is a lie,,,,and so on.
Politics, propaganda, and the other ‘bad influences associated’, make it really hard for us today as individuals to decide and embrace anything. From – finance to health, etc. If we take a look at Dr Lorraine Day for instance, based on what I have researched, she is continuously bombarded with negative and rude comments. I wonder how many threats she has had since going public against modern medicine with regard to chronic illnesses and diseases. Using this as an example, what would you do if you were the person with the discovery that could send ruptures to the very foundations of the largest money making industry on the planet.
I have read the other comments. So many people have so many good points – for and against. I am also a sceptic. I haven’t bought the book yet.
Without making a judgment based on what I think I know; Keep in mind – what do we really know about chronic illnesses such as cancer? And if we are so knowledgeable on the topic, why can we not visit our corner drug store to get treatment and get better?
Is this author really a fictitious character due to a scam? Or is there a good reason for this. Maybe something beyond our line of sight, such as the story we are told upon visiting their website (‘The power of pharma’)?
Wishing equity for all, Dan
GREAT points, Dan! You are so right about natural (and growing) skepticism re: anything “new” or “different.” I believe the pharmaceutical “cartel” has a death grip on “traditional” medicine – not all but enough.
Therefore, I believe most people FEEL the truth. The truth, however, creates issues:
1. This opens the door for scammers (opportunists) pitching us “cures.”
2. We simply don’t know what’s “right.”
“The One-Minute Cure” sounds right and good.
Why doesn’t Madison Cavanaugh step out from behind the curtain?
Why doesn’t Cavanaugh have a cadre of medical professionals supporting The One-Minute Cure?
Why are there NOT testimonials from real people?
To challenge conventional treatment, Cavanaugh must take the road paved by Dr. Day. As you pointed out, the “LOBBY” attacks Dr. Day. I’ve talked with Dr. Day and have followed her for years….
If more people like Dr. Day joined forces as one, THEY could challenge the “LOBBY.” They could effect change, not just in our heads but in our hearts.
Bottom line: Cavanaugh has chosen a cowardly or spammy path for presenting The One-Minute Cure.
Unfortunately, you and I only can speculate. That stinks. We need REAL professionals (not just the “cartel” or “lobby” bashing it) to step forward as one to SHOW us why it’s bad or why it’s good.
Until that time, these “shadow” people like Madison Cavinaugh sell dreams to people desperately needing a miracle. If my kids or family and friends needed help, I easily cold justify spending the money on this book — just to find out for myself. That alone creates $MILLIONS$ for these people.
Thanks, Dan. I appreciate your thoughts.
Mike
hi mike u can just have a look at the reviews on amazon. Someone even puts the details of the protocol.
http://www.amazon.com/One-Minute-Cure-Healing-Virtually-Diseases/product-reviews/0977075141/ref=cm_cr_pr_hist_3?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&filterBy=addThreeStar
Thank you, Yves. I appreciate your stopping by to contribute to our discussion. Amazon displays some interesting reviews. By “…details of the protocol,” are you referring to “Hydrogen Peroxide”? Hmm. Interesting.
This “Madison Cavanaugh” pen name prompts skepticism by remaining anonymous — lest a “pen name” of course.
Mike
Like you, I came across The One Minute Miracle, and was instantly skeptical. I am a nurse, and as a licensed medical professional, I am appalled that this rubbish is able to be plastered all over the internet. I am sure that millions of people have been fooled by this “product”, and I use the term very loosely, because no one actually seems to know just what the product is… You see, the art of lying and selling merchandise that dose nothing of what is says it does is all in the creative use of the truth. Let me explain what I mean:
Yes, it is true that the body needs oxygen in order for cellular processes to occur – that’s why we die when we are deprived of oxygen, like in a drowning. In fact, a patient’s access to oxygen (as in an open airway and active ventilation, or the movement of air in and out of the lungs) is the highest priority in medical treatment – even over the beating of the human heart. The reason for this is that what good is a beating heart that circulates UN-oxygenated blood? None, because without oxygen, our bodies go into a state of acidosis (a high pH level) that, in essence, poisons our cells and kills them off. Especially brain cells. This is the reason that we can only survive for a few minutes without oxygen before death occurs.
NOW: This Madison Cavinaugh, whom I believe to be totally fictitious, uses this knowledge to twist the facts in a seemingly convincing way. It is obvious that if your body is in optimal health and your immune system is at its peak that you would naturally be better able to fight off disease. HELLLLOOOO! Everyone goes through 1st grade health class and learns about the necessity of eating right and exercising! The claim that just higher levels of oxygen in your tissues will “help your body to cure itself naturally” is completely untrue and totally misleading. Yes, as a nurse I give oxygen to patients every day. Yes, hyperbaric therapy works in some conditions. But just as oxygen can be beneficial to your health, it can also harm.
For example: People with chronic lung conditions such as COPD and emphysema become used to lower levels of oxygen and higher levels of carbon dioxide in their systems. The normal mechanism that causes us to breathe, in our brains, no longer functions properly in these people because their level of carbon dioxide never drops low enough. In our body’s amazing way, these patients’ breathing mechanism switches over to another mechanism, based on pressure rather than chemical levels. SO, if I, as a nurse, were to increase my COPD patient’s level of oxygen support from say 2 liters per minute to say 4 liters per minute, I end up confusing the brain and turn off the person’s ONLY mechanism to stimulate the brain to cause the patient to breathe. The patient dies.
Furthermore, there are situations in pulmonary ventilation when the amount of pressure (to increase the time of oxygen/carbon dioxide diffusion in the lungs) can cause pneumothorax or collapsed lungs.
Germs do cause disease. Especially in the presence of a weakened immune system response, such as particularly found in the very old, the very young, and those with conditions such as AIDS/HIV.
There is no cure all for anything. We have to eat right and exercise to stay well. There are many natural supplements out there that are very promising as cures for various diseases, but none of them in and of themselves is the answer alone.
Good luck and stay well.
Kelly, thank you very much for stopping by & sharing your knowledge. As with many others, I too “bought in” to this Madison Cavinaugh’s marketing. Unfortunately, I’m not a doctor or nurse. I don’t know what is or what isn’t.
Therein lies “Madison’s” marketing power. He/She knows MILLIONS seek the cure…the answer. He/She pretends to give us the cure…for the low affordable price. Kelly, with all respect I’m not a brainwashed fan of “modern” medicine either.
The most trusted source I’ve discovered over the years (as I’ve mentioned previously in this discussion) is Dr. Lorraine Day. She NEVER has hidden behind a book. She’s a real person.She’s taken criticism head on AND rebutted. She was trained as an orthopedic surgeon. She KNOWS contemporary medicine. She developed breast cancer and denounced (once SHE personally had to choose treatment) radiation, chemo & cutting — the three choices for treating cancer. For all we know (and I’m more certain now than ever before) this “Madison Cavinaugh” is not a real person with no support from the medical community. Dr. Day was not (and is not) alone in her alarming (by medical standards) move to the middle — she was (and is) supported by many in the medical community who believe alternative health treatments exist along with conventional.
It’s not either/or. Unfortunately, this “Cavinaugh” –purely an opportunist it appears– momentarily disrupts the work (and progress) of real health professionals.
Kelly, thank you very much for contributing your expertise. Many others and I appreciate the work you do. Without doubt, it is the nurses who make the experience. Before and after surgery, I relied on the nurses to reassure me I was okay. At least for me, hospitals are scary places. I hope you feel appreciated as the valuable person you are.
Mike
Thank you, Jennifer, for sharing your thoughts. I agree with you. Hopefully, you found my blog and this post from a search engine results page. Maybe this “Madison Cavinaugh” and his/her “miracle cure” NEEDS to be exposed as a fraud. I bought the book as well. Please come back when you hear anything about Cavinaugh.

I did buy the book-and was stunned that there was NO index-NO references-and NO info. re the author. for all we know “she” could be a hermaphrodite on a writing binge. Since I have an advanced case of osteoarthritis-I am continually looking for a “remission”–and I found little to no info. on arthritis.Lesson for all”Scam artists are a dime a dozen on the Internet,and prey on the gullibility of the masses(I am one of the “masses”)-thank you for listening0JM.
Thank you, Daniel. In what area are you a doctor, may I ask? As a layperson, I admire and respect Dr. Day. I’m not a fan of Kevin Trudeau, who appears to be a snake-oil pitchman. Unfortunately, it’s because of Kevin I cannot take seriously the mega-hit, “Natural Cures ‘They’ Don’t Want You To Know About.” In fact, I was one of the fools who bought another Trudeau product, “Howard Berg’s Mega Reading,” offered as a home study program guaranteed to boost reading speed and comprehension 10 times over.
At the time, I was a high school teacher and I thought his program could help my students. For these reasons, I don’t know who’s exposed, the “emperor” or the flim-flam man.”
Nonetheless, it’s people like Dr. Day who have exposed the medical monopoly for what it is. Still, what does a person with cancer do? I think of Patrick Swayze, my own grandmother and even the lady Anne whom I mentioned in my post re: the “one minute cure.”
What would I do if confronted with this scary decision re: treatment following such a diagnosis? Unfortunately, I want to believe Dr. Day but there is no guarantee. I want to believe the medical establishment, because….well, it’s the ESTABLISHMENT. How could the establishment sanction unnecessary death?
Daniel, I pray I don’t have to confront this topic beyond these comments.
Thank you again for stopping by with such informed observations. I appreciate it as should others following along.

Mike:
I am familiar with Dr. Lorraine Day. She is a renown, established orthopaedic surgeon and a breast cancer survivor. I have visited her website. Dr. Day has been the subject of a number of inflammatory comments from a variety of critics, most of it unjustified and purely prejudicial. That is what makes those comments lacking in ordinary credence.
I surely do not trust the FDA. It was Kevin Trudeau who exposed them (the emperor with no clothes). Many thanks for your input.
Mike:
It is now a fact, Madison Cavanaugh is a fictictious person and if you look up the book (fiction novel), “code blue,” therein resides the great othopaedic surgeon, Dr. Madison Cavanaugh. Think about the scam on its face, do you really beleive there is a one-minute cure for cancer? all diseases? Sounds a bit hyped up to me. Most scams are hype and such scams often use helpless cancer victims as their target.

Thank you, Daniel, for sharing your research. Here’s what I *DO* believe. I believe the pharmaceutical industry influences doctors. I believe we the people are led to believe only surgery, chemo and/or radiation (attempt to) treat cancer. Using a pseudonym bothers me. If the “One Minute Cure” is so good, why hide behind a false name? Why not include a host of verified testimonial (success stories)? Why not include doctors whose independent thinking and research (perhaps personal experience) have converted them from traditional to alternative…complete with success?
Are you familiar with Dr. Lorraine Day’s story? Years ago, I heard her speak about getting censured and sanctioned about speaking out against the FDA and prescribed cancer treatment. For those who do not know, Dr. Lorraine Day was a prominent orthopedic surgeon who developed breast cancer (I believe). Dr. Day, when personally faced with prescribed treatment, set a course to research. Dr. Day’s “cure” is documented in a once very popular video, “Cancer Doesn’t Scare Me Anymore.” In this case, I cannot disagree with you about Madison Cavanaugh. I agree with your skepticism. On the other hand, I very much prescribe to Dr. Lorraine Day, who is a REAL person…who once really did have cancer…who really did overcome cancer….and who now has help MANY people overcome health issues including cancer. Still, she gets attacked by BIG DRUGS and their pitch(people).
Thanks, Daniel, for stopping by. Are you familiar with Dr. Day?

As far as I can determine, Dr. Madison Cavanaugh is not a real person at all, but rather a ficticious character in a fiction novel entitled “Code Blue.”. God alone knows who is behind this latest scam.
Daniel, you might be correct. I have tried to find out who this Madison Cavanaugh is but with no success. That alone does not please me. If this “one minute cure” is legitimate, I want to see a REAL person (a doctor?) stepping forward with LOTS of legitimate testimonials. Since I’m not a doctor, it’s difficult (actually, it’s impossible) for me to confirm or deny the info inside the book.
