Jimmy Keller
The Healer

HEALING HELLS REVISITED

By Ellen Brown

            “It was a complete nightmare,” she recalled.  “For days I’d be on all fours and just retch and retch.”  Her skin was badly burned by the total-body radiaiton, and the drugs made her delirious.  “I looked like a lobster, and thought I had bugs crawling on me.  I’d hit myself and scream.” 

            Thus Jerome Groopman, in an article called “Healing Hell” in the October 18, 1998 New Yorker, describes the ordeal of one of his patients, an eighteen year old named Courtney.  Dr. Groopman called the bone-marrow transplantation she was undergoing “the most powerful weapon in the growing arsenal against cancer.”  He also called it “the most devastating treatment that the human body could be subjected to.”  Before Courtney could receive stem cells from an anonymous donor, her own bone marrow had to be destroyed by radiation and high-dose chemotherapy to prevent her immune system from rejecting the donor’s cells.  Left without any immune defenses, she then had to be placed in a sterile “bubble.”  The hardest part was being removed from human contact.  “I just wanted to hold on to my mom or dad, like a two-year-old, and I couldn’t,” she said.

            Dr. Groopman also described the experience of Tamar, a terminal breast cancer patient who suffered the horrors of a bone marrow transplant:

            “It’s getting worse by the hour,” she said miserably, several days after the last dose [of chemotherapy].  Her lips were so blistered that even speaking was painful.  Her eyes were sunken, and her body trembled.  She turned to the side of the bed, searching for what’s politely called the emesis basin.  I found it on her night table, and held it under her quivering chin.  A fetid mix of bile and bloody tissue gushed forth.  I reached over to wipe her face.  “Be careful,” she said, in a small voice.  Even the lightest touch was like a searing iron on her burned lips. . . .

                        “I wish I hadn’t done it,” she breathed.  “It was a mistake.”

            Compare these living hells to the experience of another leukemia patient, Melissa P. Wattman, of 2374 Flintlock Drive, Clearwater, FL 33765, who was also threatened with the “bubble” treatment.  In the spring of 1998, she wrote to the Baton Rouge judge who sentenced her holistic health care provider to a three-year jail term:

        I was diagnosed with Leukemia when I was 9 years old.  I was treated at the Childrens Hospital.  The doctors there were competent, yet unfriendly.  They would tell me that none of my treatments would hurt.  When I asked them if they knew this from experience they replied that they did not.  None of them could relate to my pain and suffering during this ongoing chemotherapy.  I say ‘unfriendly’ because one of my most vivid memories is being pinned to a table by 6 nurses.  As the doctor walked in holding a 4-inch needle attached to a longer syringe I started crying in terror.  The doctor looked at me and told me to ‘Shut up.’  I endured such painful treatments as bone marrow biopsies, spinal taps, and radiation therapy and for the small time that I was healthy enough to attend school I was forced to endure the ridicule of other children due to my lack of hair.

        After a year or so of this type of cancer treatment and 3 blood transfusions my health had deteriorated so much that my doctors were urging my parents to put me in a bubble, as they said this was my last alternative to death.  Here, I would not be able to see anyone who came to visit me except from the other side of a plastic wall.  This included my parents. My doctors also told my parents that I was certainly going to die but that they would do what they could to prolong my life.  They gave me three months to live. 

        My parents were good enough people to look for an alternative to this life in a cage.  My father carried me into an office in Mexico where I met a man named Jimmy Keller who was to be my alternative to life contained in a bubble.  We talked and Jimmy told me how he had had cancer and how he had gone through therapy similar to mine.  I instantly liked him because I knew he had some inkling of what I was going through unlike my doctors who would mechanically assure me that the 4 inch needle they were about to plunge into my back ‘Would not hurt a bit.’

        My parents and I decided to go with him.  After several weeks of treatment my health was on the mend.  I had color in my face when before I had been as pale as death and I could now walk without help.  After a while longer I was able to attend school again and play softball.  My hair started growing and during the six months of my treatment with Jimmy I grew 3 inches.

        Jimmy was never mean to me and never lost his temper like some of my previous doctors.  He treated me like a daughter and never tried to deceive me about how this shot or that one was going to feel.  Again, this was totally unlike my previous doctors who would pump a drug into me and forget to tell me about the side effects (which in one case had me throwing up stomach acid for 2 hours straight).

        At Jimmy's clinic I witnessed miracles.  I met a woman who came into the clinic with over 100 tumors on her body.  One particularly had one that was growing on her tongue that made it very difficult for her to speak.  During her treatment with him her tumors would fall right off her body.  She came in one day with the tumor that had been on her tongue in a plastic baggy, very excited that she could speak normally again.  The whole clinic cheered.

        With Jimmy's help I was able to recover my strength and health.  I was able to continue my life as a healthy individual.  I owe my life to this man.  I am 21 years old, and I am training to be a minister.  I frequently work with charity groups and children. Without Jimmy I could not contribute like this, as I would not be here, alive today.  I am at a loss for words when I try to express my gratitude for this man.  It is somewhat confusing to me that such a decent man with the urge to heal and the desire to help is in jail.  I hope and pray that you will judge this man by the goodness of his actions and by the many lives he's saved.

            Like Dr. Groopman’s patient Tamar, Selma Meyers had terminal breast cancer.  Selma was a witness at Jimmy Keller’s first trial in 1991, when her husband wrote to the court:

            Selma, my 68 year old wife and I have known Jimmy Keller for five years during which time he, with all the serums at his disposal has caused two huge cancerous tumors upon Selma's chest to go completely into remission with no side effects nor loss of dignity.

            Unfortunately, Selma has developed a third tumor also on her chest which has been steadily and quickly growing at an alarming pace with no known possible way of stopping its growth in that Jimmy has been unavailable to help her since March of 1991 and conventional methods known to us have failed. . . .  We believe that Jimmy and his wonderful serums could give her back her vitality, her health and her dignity as he has twice so successfully done.

            In addition, many of Selma's treatments over the past five years were given to her at no charge, no billing and no harrassment which upon speaking to several other patients of his was not unusual.  This is not the type of action of an individual who is attempting to defraud the public.

            . . . I am pleading not only for Jimmy Keller, not only for my wife Selma whose life depends upon your decision, but for countless others who were labeled by their doctors as terminal and were brave enough to say 'I will not die, I choose to look elsewhere.'

            However, the law prevailed, and Jimmy Keller was sentenced to twenty years commuted to two with probation.  Selma passed away while he was in jail.  One week before his five-year probation was due to end in January of 1998, he was again arrested for treating cancer patients in violation of his probation — not that anyone had complained.  What tipped off the government was an unbelievable cancer success story reported by a patient at a local hospital. 

            More than 500 letters were received from patients and supporters in Jimmy Keller’s two trials, pleading for his release so that his patients could avoid the types of living hell suffered by Courtney and Tamar.  He is now in his own living hell in Yazoo, Mississippi, where he is serving out an additional three-year sentence for the alleged fraud of representing that he had an effective non-toxic cancer protocol.  Needless to say, the writers of the hundreds of letters in his support thought that he did. 

His treatment consisted of an eclectic assortment of natural cancer remedies available

abroad but not yet approved in the United States.  In 1996, President Clinton announced the administration’s plan to encourage companies whose drugs have been approved in other countries to seek approval in the United States, and to make the remedies more easily available to Americans in the meantime.  But European companies are slow to seek such approval, which now costs well in excess of 100 million dollars for a single drug or device.

            Keller’s patients included “overflow” cases referred by German physician Dr. Hans Nieper, who treated President Carter’s mother Lillian and was consulted by White House officials concerning President Reagan’s colon cancer.  Keller’s protocol included a procedure called live cell therapy, involving injections of animal fetal cells imported from Germany.  In the case of whole organ transplant surgeries or bone marrow transplants, the host’s immune system must be suppressed in order to prevent the body from responding to the antigen factors of the transplanted material from mature humans.  Fetal tissue, however, lacks these antigen factors.  In the eighties, American researchers experimented with human fetal cells, but the work was stopped due to the abortion issue.  In 1991, a Brown University researcher finally developed a technique for bypassing the problem of immune system rejection, allowing the transplantation of cells across species — from rats to guinea pigs.  Ironically, live cell therapists in Europe had already successfully passed animal fetal cells to thousands of humans over the previous six decades.  Recipients in European clinics included such notables as President Eisenhower, Pope Pius XII, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and Emperor Hirohito.  

            Keller was saved from “terminal” cancer himself by natural non-traditional treatments.  He spent the next thirty years developing a non-toxic protocol for helping others with the disease.  He was practicing legally in Mexico in 1991 when he was kidnapped Noriega-style by the FBI and taken to Texas for trial.  No hearing was held before his deportation, in violation of international treaty.  The charge was wire fraud: a contact person in the United States had allegedly told patients over the phone that he had an effective cancer treatment.

            Keller’s attorney in charge of medical issues in 1991 was William Ginsburg, the attorney Monica Lewinsky portrayed as the villain in her new book Monica’s Story.  Monica described Ginsburg as a relentless self-promoter more interested in seeking the limelight than in protecting his client’s interests.  Keller was equally dissatisfied with the representation of attorney Ginsburg, a conventionally-trained M.D. with no understanding of or appreciation for alternative cancer therapies. 

            There were, however, conventional M.D.s who appreciated Keller’s treatments.  One  Los Angeles M.D. who had seen the results of his work wrote to the court,  "Jimmy Keller's treatment could become the standard medical treatment in the future for the dreadful infirmities we see today."  The living hells undergone by Courtney and Tamar might be averted if natural medicines found effective in other countries were legalized and publicized in the United States.  The public’s ignorance of natural remedies is institutionalized and perpetuated, however, by a legal framework which precludes substances found naturally in plants or animals from being patented.  No drug company can afford to put up the more than $100 million required for FDA approval for an unpatentable product.   Natural cancer remedies, no matter how effective, therefore remain illegal and unpublicized. 

Ellen Brown is an attorney and author of six books on alternative health care.  Her recently released book Forbidden Medicine, detailing Jimmy Keller’s case and cancer treatments, is available from Third Millennium Press, 1-800-891-0390.
