Hulda Regehr Clark (18 October 1928 in Rosthern, Saskatchewan – 3 September 2009 in Chula Vista, California)〔〔(In Memoriam Website ), domain registered by Clark's publisher, New Century Press: "On the evening of September 3rd 2009, Dr. Hulda Clark’s celebrated life came to an end."〕 was a naturopath, author, and practitioner of alternative medicine. Clark claimed all human disease was related to parasitic infection, and also claimed to be able to cure all diseases, including cancer and HIV/AIDS, by destroying these parasites by "zapping" them with electrical devices which she marketed. Clark wrote several books describing her methods and operated clinics in the United States. Following a string of legal difficulties and actions by the Federal Trade Commission, she relocated to Tijuana, Mexico where she ran the Century Nutrition clinic. Clark's claims and devices have been dismissed by authorities ranging from the United States Federal Trade Commission and Food and Drug Administration to alternative medicine figures such as Dr. Andrew Weil as scientifically unfounded, "bizarre",〔 and potentially fraudulent.〔 Clark died 3 September 2009 of multiple myeloma (a blood and bone cancer).〔Chuck Shepherd. ''News of the Weird''. (Bumbling criminal has two left feet ). ''WCF Courier'', December 18, 2009.〕〔(Remembering Dr. Hulda Clark ), by Oskar Thorvaldsson, Self Health Resource Center: "I first learned that she had been diagnosed by a doctor to have passed away from arthritis and spinal cord injury. A month later, on October 6th her family published a summary of the cause of death, multiple myeloma, a blood and bone cancer is the most likely cause."〕 == Background == Clark began her studies in biology at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, where she was awarded Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees. After two years of study at McGill University, she attended the University of Minnesota studying biophysics and cell physiology. She received her doctorate degree in 1958 from the University of Minnesota. Her own biographical sketch states her degree was in physiology,〔.〕 but the Graduate School's Register of Ph.D. Degrees conferred by the University of Minnesota, July 1956-June 1966, states she received a Ph.D. in Zoology in 1958. Her thesis was entitled "A study of the ion balance of crayfish muscle; evidence for two compartments of cellular potassium."〔(Register of Ph.D. Degrees Conferred by the University of Minnesota, July 1956 through June 1966. ) p. 67. University of Minnesota (PDF)〕 In 1979, Clark left government-funded research and began private consulting and her own research. From 2002 until her death she operated the Century Nutrition health clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, where her focus was primarily on late-stage cancer patients. Clark and her son Geoff separately owned businesses her patients and others used, including a restaurant, her self-publishing company, and a "self-health" store that sold her inventions. Her son continues to operate the self-health store. She published several books, including ''The Cure of All Cancers'', ''The Cure for HIV/AIDS'' and ''The Cure For All Diseases''. According to civil court records, her books generated over $7 million in sales by 2002, although Clark disputed this figure.〔 She held a naturopathy degree from the defunct Clayton College of Natural Health〔 a school lacking accreditation from any accreditation agency recognized by the United States Department of Education.〔 | page=5〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hulda Regehr Clark」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
