In 1975,
Dr. Robert
Bingham,
director of the
National Arthritis
Medical Clinic, said
"There is strong
evidence that some
forms of arthritis
may be caused or
worsened by toxic
substances in the
intestines and these
toxins may be
absorbed by the
body".
Dr. Bingham
believed that "yucca
saponins aid
digestion and tend to
break down the high
molecular fats in
foods whose
absorption
contributes to high
blood pressure,
hardening of the
arteries,
hypertriglyceridemia
and
hypercholesterolemia".
"They also work as
cleansing substances
which help prevent
absorption of harmful
bacteria and protozoa
from the bowel that
cause stiffness and
inflammation in the
joints", he said -
"These compounds also
appear to improve
circulation".
Dr. Bingham
tested the effects of
yucca saponins on
patients at his
California center. He
reported - most of
his patients felt
less pain, stiffness
and swelling in their
joints. Others also
received additional
benefits - such as -
migraine relief,
lower blood pressure
and cholesterol/
triglyceride
reduction.

Dr. Bingham
was one of the first
medical doctors who
began abandoning
allopathic
(traditional)
medicine for natural
healing remedies. As
an orthopedic
surgeon, he concluded
after 40 years of
treating patients
with drugs and
surgery, there had to
be a better way to
heal people. In the
last years of his
life, his first
choice of treatment
was using natural
herbs and vaccines to
treat his arthritic
patients. He declared
to the whole world
that - "NO DRUG can
cure any disease and
synthetic steroids
eventually make a
disease worse". He
believed that
Holistic Health was
the best way to treat
and prevent
disease.
On a
personal note - we
had the distinct
privilege of knowing
and collaborating
with Dr. Bingham on
the benefits of
shidigera yucca
saponins - from early
1989 and continued
until his passing in
1994.
We are truly
grateful to him for
his generous
contribution to
mankind and for
having the courage to
'step out' in a
hostile arena - in
his quest to research
and report the truth
and to - 'Pave the
way - to the Natural
Way'.
