Dr. Eli Jones, M.D.,
States Importance Of
Proper Digestion
And Daily Bowel Movements

Dr. Eli Jones, M.D. (1850-1933), Cancer - Its Causes, Symptoms and Treatment, knew the importance of good intestinal function and the importance of regular daily bowel movements. He understood how it is essential to learn about what one can do to improve the colon's function through:

• Eating right
• Having good digestion
• Eliminating eating habits that compromise intestinal function
• Stopping the worrying that drains one's vitality which is essential for the body, including the colon, to best function

During my get well journey, a dear family member of mine was struggling to save his life from cancer. Because of my relative's illness, I started doing some research on clinics that were treating cancer with more natural methods. I kept reading about how cleaning out the colon was part of their natural cancer treatment.

I kept reading how many cancer patients were also dealing with digestive issues. Dr. Eli Jones, Cancer - Its Causes, Symptoms and Treatment, was also well aware of the digestive issues many of his cancer patients were dealing with. Dr. Jones, reported cancer cure found doctor, impressed me with the compassion he had for his patients and for many of his health insights. I appreciate his awareness on the critical importance of good digestion and of having at least one good bowel movement daily.

Dr. Eli Jones was one of the most important eclectic medical doctors and teachers at the turn of the 20th century. He claimed he could treat cancer naturally.

Dr. Eli Jones had tremendous success with his natural cancer cures. Dr. Jones said, "I was taught that nearly all diseases could be cured and how to cure them by the use of remedies that have definite remedial action upon certain abnormal conditions."

He maintained frequent contact, daily appointments if necessary, with his patients so he always knew how they were responding to the treatments and how their healing was coming along.

Dr. Eli Jones practiced for over 40 years, selecting various clinically effective modalities. He administered various therapeutic agents from primarily conventional medicine, herbal medicine, and homeopathy. As time went by and based on his frustrations over the harsh standard medicine side effects to the human body, he leaned toward remedies that were non toxic and immune system building.

His healing regimen included taking epsom salt baths, medicinal salves applied to external cancer, and various more natural remedies taken both internally and applied externally as appropriate. He also provided lifestyle counseling and guidance as he felt it crucial to have peace of mind which is so critical for the body to recover from disease.

He became well known for his extremely successful approach to treating cancer. Word spread about his unusual success and he became known as the "doctor's doctor." He, at one time, had fifteen physicians under his treatment for cancer. He also assisted other doctors with their cancer cases.

Cancer - Its Causes, Symptoms and Treatment was written and published in 1921 after Dr. Eli Jones' long and respectable career. In this book, he writes about the different approaches and remedies he chose to treat each type of cancer. He stressed the importance of individualizing the course of treatment for each patient.

He chose to help optimize the body's internal functioning through his selected remedies, thus enabling the patient's internal system to destroy the tumor or cancer. He enhanced the patient's health so that cancer cells could not grow and multiply.

Dr. Eli Jones has written another book called Definite Medication: Containing Therapeutic Facts Gleaned from Forty Years Practice which goes into more details as to the natural remedies he used to treat his patients' various disorders.

He taught that general health must be better before the cancer will begin to improve. This is the very foundation of a successful treatment of cancer, he explained. He felt it quite necessary to build the immune system first and foremost which is in line with Ann Wigmore's healing beliefs. However, through reading his book, I do not believe he was aware of wheatgrass juice or its natural curative characteristics and body strengthening effects.

Though he individualized his natural remedies for his patients, he believed cancer to be a whole body problem or systemic disease, not just a localized disease. He felt the cancerous growth is only the local manifestation of a constitutional disease. He, therefore, felt it was silly to think trying to remove the local growth would ever cure the cancer.

The writing of Cancer - Its Causes, Symptoms and Treatment was the book he wrote to pass down the healing knowledge he acquired after treating thousands of cancer cases successfully. Some sources say he treated up to 20,000 cancer cases.

Dr. Eli Jones said, "I have been urged by my medical friends to write a book on cancer. It seemed to them that a physician, who has had such a vast experience in the medical treatment of this fearful malady, should leave behind him a record of his work for the benefit of future generations."

In addition, Dr. Jones staunchly opposed vaccinations. If he were still alive today, he would be devastated to learn of the great increase in required vaccinations for children. According to Tim Oshea's Sanctity of Human Blood: Vaccination I$ Not Immunization, the number of required childhood vaccinations is now over 69 as of 2007. In 1990, 20 vaccinations were required for children. Dr. Jones believed vaccinations damaged the health of the blood and reduced one's vitality. Dr. Jones said, "In all states and countries where there is enforced vaccination, there you will find cancer on the increase."

"The practice of vaccination by the regular school, the poisoning of the blood of healthy innocent children with their filthy serum is a great cause of the rapid increase of cancer in every country where there is enforced vaccination." (Dr. Jones treated vaccinosis and eruptions through the body's skin from vaccinations with thuja 30th X which is a homeopathic remedy.)

Dr. Eli Jones realized the extreme importance of having healthy blood. He also realized if one cannot digest his food, he cannot make good blood.

• Dr. Jones said, "If your patient has any form of indigestion that must be looked after, for you cannot cure your patient if he does not digest his food properly, for he must do that in order to make good blood."


• "To cure permanently any case of cancer, we must have good digestion to make good blood, and when we can make good healthy blood, we can fortify the system against the inroads of cancer."


• "Food should be chewed s l o w l y over and over again before it is swallowed, so as to give the stomach as little work as possible."

• "An intelligent person will soon find out what kinds of food agree with him best."


• Dr. Jones paid particular attention to the tongue of his patients. When the tongue is coated either white or yellow on the base of the tongue, he believed his patients were not properly digesting their food. He taught that a clean moist tongue of a bright red color shows good digestion.


• Dr. Jones noticed the more advanced the case of cancer was, the more obstinate a person's constipation.


• "Your patient must have a regular movement of the bowels every day; the refuse matter must pass off as often as that and not be retained in the intestines to poison the blood. This is just as important as any part of the treatment; if you neglect this, you may fail to cure your patient." When the bowels are eliminating properly, there is less likelihood that parasites and worms will reside in the intestines.

• Dr. Jones treated his patients with enemas. He would combine various remedies with water and the healing solution was then inserted into one's rectum. He briefly explains some of the different enema treatments in his other book Definite Medication: Containing Therapeutic Facts Gleaned from Forty Years Practice.

• "The chemists and scientists for many years have tried to discover some powerful drug, some deadly poison, some deadly serum, which taken by the mouth or injected into the human body, would kill the germs of cancer and knock out the disease. They have overlooked one fact; a drug which would do all that would weaken the vitality of the victim if it did not hasten his death. Any remedy or treatment, whatever it may be that weakens the vitality of the patient lessens the chance of recovery."


• "From my own experience of forty years in the study and medical treatment of cancer in all its forms, I am convinced that it is the local manifestation of a blood disease."


• "Any complication that causes pain or worries the patient must be looked after and cured."


• "The patient's mind must be at rest, for worriment of mind causes weakness of the "nerve power" and will also lessen the chances of recovery.


• "Never forget the fact that the general health of the patient must be better before the cancer is any better."

Dr. Eli Jones stated, "There is a crying need for a home for these poor sufferers from cancer, where they could have good care, pleasant surroundings, plenty of fresh air, good food, and be placed under the intelligent care of educated physicians who have mastered the treatment outlines in this book (Cancer - Its Causes, Symptoms and Treatment) and will carry it out intelligently and conscientiously."

Will the day come where there are more of these natural cancer treatment centers as Dr. Jones envisioned where non toxic properly selected natural remedies are administered to build one's immune system and fight off disease? Will the health practitioners at the natural cancer treatment centers understand the critical importance of good digestion and properly functioning and maintained intestines? Will they understand what can be done to enhance digestion and intestinal function in a safe, no side effect, and non toxic way?

If remembered, I believe the best of Dr. Eli Jones' profound and yet simple methods for treating illness and cancer can no doubt be successfully implemented today in his envisioned natural treatment centers to prevent much needless suffering and contribute to improved healthcare. Yes, I believe this paradigm shift back to more natural remedies being used to treat disease is already steadfastly occurring in our society. People are searching for non toxic immune system building treatments for their health issues.
