To whom it concerns,
My
wife and I both participated in a yoga workshop led
by Dave Goulet during a two week period in January
1995 in Mexico. This was an unplanned event from our
perspective.
I
am now 49 years old and have experienced chronic
asthma since 2 years of age. My parents who live
in Montreal will confirm this fact. ( tel: 514 ***-****).
David's course taught me how to breathe properly
and I am ecstatic to relate that I no longer experience
asthma. I would be happy to speak with anyone
at any place to relate my experience. Each day for
a period of 30 minutes I practice breathing exercises
as a maintenance program.
I
am strongly recommending Dave Goulet for his knowledge,
teachings, and dedication to his work.

Diane 10-95
Diane was
suffering from flattened disks. It
became painful at times, especially when she went
to bed at night, making it very difficult to get
to sleep. Many times during the day she would feel
aching and "tiredness" in the area of her
lower back.
We put her on
to a simple exercise program designed to relieve stress
in the lower back area and stretch the spine a little
so as to allow space for the cartilage to build back
up. We added to this a variety of breathing exercises
to help stimulate the healing process. She was also
advised about the activities she should not do; those
which had damaged the cartilage disks in the first
place. She also underwent Jin Shin Do acupressure treatments
and some sound therapy once or twice a week. She
proved to be quite diligent with doing the exercise
and breathing routines on her own and consequently
made weekly progress. At first she was hardly
able to move in the area of the lower back but within
a few weeks she had regained much of her mobility. The
symptoms from her spinal problems mostly dissolved
within two months. Diane continued to come for monthly
sessions as a reminder of how to stay on track, and
she continues to feel better and stronger.
Diane had
been scheduled for some serious spinal surgery, but
all of this proved to be no longer necessary.
Karen 2.3.6-5*95
Karen came with a serious problem in the form of a 5 cm brain tumor that had reached the stage of interfering with her hearing and balance. She was also 60 pounds overweight. Her medical options involved delicate surgery which would have left her with half her face paralyzed, one to two months in the hospital for recovery, and months or possibly the rest of her life in a wheelchair, with a chance of not surviving at all, so she decided to go for the safe alternative.
A young mother with two young children, she thought it best to stay around a while. Her life to this point had been typical of the modern American lifestyle; in the fast food lane with beer and cigarettes on the side. Her job in a high stress situation kept her in a condition of hyper-activity. Because of a depressive state of mind and emotion she was taking mega doses of lithium and high doses of Prozac on a daily basis.
She was willing to change whatever necessary to avoid the surgery because she felt she would have died this time. There had been several instances of surgery already in her life and she didn't want any more. Consequently she came for our two-week immunity rejuvenator program and took it quite seriously.
Two days after her arrival she decided to drop her prescription drugs down the sink. Within three days the hearing cleared up in her right ear and her sense of balance came back to normal. At the end of the two weeks she had gone through a radical change with her situation and felt like she had a fresh start on life.
All the symptoms of the tumor had long gone and her vitality and enthusiasm for life had really picked up; there were no signs of depression. She left in a very good state and has continued with her daily practice of breathing and exercise while maintaining a healthy nutritious diet. A month after leaving us she had lost over twenty-five pounds and was still feeling great.
This is a medically documented case where the M.R.I tests showed the tumor had already shrunk by two millimeters after her first breathing lesson, a week before she came for the intensive program. We would have liked to have further tests done at the end of the program but the medical association would not co-operate and said she would have to wait until her previously scheduled test in the beginning of September, two months after our program.
The M.R.I. scans in September showed the brain tumor to be gone; the only trace of it being a kind of shadow of where it had been. The medical documentation with before and after M.R.I. pictures were “lost” by the medical association when they found out she was going to give them to the alternative clinic..
Karen is presently living a healthy life back at her home near Seattle, has a new job where the stress level is acceptable, and is very happy to be with her family.
Her medical bills would have been over $350,000.

Harry - Sept 1997
I first talked
to Harry in June. He was taking chemo and radiation
therapy for a brain tumor that was very malignant
(cancerous). It was difficult to understand what
he said, so a friend took over the phone and explained
how the brain tumor was affecting the speech part
of the brain. Harry managed to explain that his mouth
was also affected and that originally there were
some headaches. He was presently loosing co-ordination.
Harry smokes and drinks. There is also numbness in
the left hand. He noticed that memory gets ‘misplaced”,
there is confusion and short term memory is dysfunctional.
When reading he cannot get to the end of a sentence
without forgetting the beginning. He had been
told short term memory would be affected by radiation. Constipation
has been a serious problem since chemo started;
also ...weak and wobbly knees.
I met Harry in
the second week of August. He came for a visit with
his brother, they realized that the medical treatments
were not doing much as his condition continued to get
worse. They
decided next day that Harry would come for our two
week Rejuvenation program.
Harry had two “brain
seizures” one on about Aug 25 and the second
one on about Sept 5. He was told by medical authorities
that the first seizure was due to his not taking his
pills; there was no explanation for the second one
since he was taking them at that time.
Harry finally
arrived here Sept 10 and we started breath therapy
that day. He seemed very confused and in a depressed
state; very difficult to get any words out.
First symptoms
were slurred speech, some headaches possibly and disco-ordination
of the right hand; he could no longer write. CT scans
and subsequent biopsy
revealed a
3.4cm lesion in the left front lobe of the brain, diagnosed
to be a grade 4 astrocytoma with necrosis, mitosis
and nuclear pleomorphism. In layman’s terms a
very malignant tumor.
Harry was informed
that radiation and chemo therapy were the available
treatments, and that this could “prolong natural
history” by a few months. No guarantee or expectation
of anything beyond that.
Thursday,
October 02, 1997
Harry’s
condition has greatly improved in the last three
weeks. The tumor itself has shrunk considerably,
in fact there may be nothing left.
When Harry saw Dr.
Theison on Sept. 24 he was told “if
the tumor continues shrinking he would only need to
come in every six months for a check up”. Nnow there is no need for concern, and no need to see
him unless Harry starts taking the medication again,
in which case the doctor would need to see him in a
month to regulate the dosage.
I
do not recommend this at all as it is a strong contributing
factor in the seizures and prevents the natural healing
- the drug also has many other side effects that are
damaging. The last seizure Harry had (minor one) was
on the last day that he took this wonderful medication.
There has been none since.
The tumor
is in a state of “remission” as they
call it in medical terminology; no longer a threat
to his life and Harry only needs to go in for another
CT scan in three months to see if there is anything
left.
One of the side
effects of his medical treatments (radiation) is the
damage to short term memory, burnt out brain cells
etc. The brain cells are being regenerated and will
be for a while yet. Since the new brain cells are blank,
like blank tapes, there is a certain amount of re-learning
needed for Harry to regain all his functions, speech
mostly.
For this process
we recommend slow easy reading (of simple children’s
books for example) with the emphasis on correctly
pronouncing one word at a time. Harry now has the
ability to do this but it is not yet automatic; that
will come with practice.
He has regained
much strength and co-ordination on the right side
of his body and if he continues with his daily exercises
this will soon come back to normal. He will need
some encouragement and support in this department.
Some appropriate physiotherapy could be quite helpful
here, or a weights/fitness program at a gym. It is
very important for him to keep the breathing deep
and coordinated with physical movements >> this
is the only thing that will re-generate and re-program
the neurons in the brain. Movement (exercise) by
itself won’t do it.
The greatest
improvement I have seen is in his short term memory. When
he first arrived it
was very difficult to work with him because he could
not remember any instructions from one minute to
the next, in fact from one breath to the next he
would forget what he was doing. Presently, three
weeks later, he has regained the ability to remember
and follow instructions enough to work on his own.
He does need to be reminded and encouraged to do
the work. We have seen an increase in his mental
capabilities tenfold since he first came.
Harry left us
in October - to return to his life of smoking and drinking. We
warned him about the probable re-occurrence of the
problem. One
year later it did happen; though the original tumor
had shrunk to the point of no longer being a concern,
a new one had developed close to the original sight.
His brothers
decided to put him through our program again, since
it worked the first time. Harry
went along with it, but didn’t really care to
do much. The new tumor probably receded some. Harry
just wanted to go home and have a beer and a smoke
so he did.
He died six months
later.
It
had been clearly explained to Harry that returning
to his lifestyle of smoking and drinking would
re-create the problem; nevertheless he did go that
route. Harry was a simple man and it was the only
life he knew. What
was demonstrated in his case is the fact that the
program he went through, with all the breathing
and exercise, as well as with the Chinese herbs
and organic food, did in fact demolish the first
tumor. Had he been able and willing to continue
with a maintenance program on his own, he would
still be with us. Harry was only in his early forties.
Ruth - July 1978
Ruth had been told by her doctors that she had fast growing
malignant lumps in her right breast, and
the cancer was spreading into the lymph nodes under
her right arm. They strongly recommended she
be in the hospital for surgery within four days. She
chose to come and do a two week intensive with us. This
time was spent doing a lot of breathing exercises, physical
exercise; diet was strict and very limited. Time
was also spent talking about lifestyle changes that
would be required for long term results. This involved
relationship, employment, diet, stress levels and
social support groups.
Ruth
took it all quite seriously and changed almost everything,
including relationship. She went traveling for some
months. While she was away she had herself checked
out medically in a clinic in a different province. There
was no sign of any cancer. She continued with her
new healthy lifestyle for several years, not always
traveling, and eventually lost touch with us.
Her
daughter informed us the following year, that Ruth's
doctors had changed their mind about her having cancer. When
they heard she had come to us to do something alternative,
they reassessed the test results and decided there had
been some misinterpretation. Makes one wonder about the
value of their tests, if not their motives, for surgery.
Yvonne #
9.21.14*90
Yvonne
had experienced several years of an ongoing breast
cancer in the form of an external sore. Radiation
and chemo therapy had done little to help her. Through
family connections she went to see Dr. Michael Osborn
of the Sloan Kettering Cancer Research Institute
in New York and he arranged for surgery to be performed
in Toronto.
This
proved to be successful, but within a year she was
again in the hospital dying of lung cancer. Her
doctors had given her a maximum of 10 days to live,
as her lungs were filling up with fluid secreted through
the cancer cells.
At
this point in her life, though 75 years old, she still
wanted to spend a little more time on planet earth.
So when she was offered an alternative method to rejuvenate
her health by her son Dave, she went for it. She
was taken out of the hospital and set up in her own
apartment with a treatment plan, this involved a de-toxification
diet using many Chinese herbs and several sessions
of deep breathing per day. Yvonne had been bed
ridden for a couple of weeks at that point because
she was too weak to do anything but go to the bathroom. However
within five days of commencing this new treatment her
lung capacity had increased dramatically, her energy
and vitality had returned, and she was up and about
living her daily life. This included daily walks in
the mid-winter Okanagan; she even wanted to go skiing
with her two sons.
X-rays
taken a couple of weeks later showed the cancer cells
in her lungs had been reduced to dormant black spots.
To
maintain her own health she was set up on a diet that
had a vegetarian base, with very low sugar intake and
a continued use of Chinese herbs. Her health continued
to improve as she resumed her active social life and
even went traveling to Hawaii. Every day her son Gene
came for a visit and made sure that she was still on
track with diet and a short period of deep breathing.
This went along well for seven months until Gene had
a motorcycle accident and ended up in a coma in the
hospital, never to speak again. He died three years
later in an extended care facility.
To
Yvonne, this was devastating, and depressing. Her diet
and breathing exercises went astray. We all know how
depression can take your breath away. For reasons that
are not clear she was given a chemo-therapy treatment
about three or four months later and her health declined
rapidly.
Towards
the end of the year, her second son Dave was informed
that she was deteriorating rapidly; so he came and
took her out of the hospital once again. This time
he took her back to live with his family in the West
Kootenays. He suggested putting her back on the rejuvenating
diet and breath therapy, and did so to an extent but
found her motivation lacking this time. Her response
was," I think I want to go for my reward now."; having
been a devout Catholic all her life and a zealous born
again Christian in the last decade, she meant that
she was ready to go to heaven now.
She
died very peacefully, about two weeks after saying
that.
Medical
records have been denied by the medical association.
In
spite of the fact that Yvonne eventually died,
the results from the healing program were quite
astounding. The cancer and its symptoms disappeared
within a week or two. For a 75 year-old woman to
step off her deathbed and accomplish this says
a lot for her character and her faith, as well
as for the effectiveness of the program. This
case also shows us that follow up and maintenance
program are required for continued health. Just
as continual breathing is required for life, continual
deep breathing is required for healthy life. |
