"I know that fifteen, maybe 18 years ago my older daughter had come down with cancer and essentially was given a death sentence.  She was given the death sentence because she absolutely refused to have any more chemotherapy and radiation.  That's when I hit the bricks and did research and came up with what turned out to be a very very old Indian remedy.  So I started using it some, but when I met Billy there was the ability to confirm that what I was doing was going to be the right thing.  The more we got acquainted, the more I found out this absolutely incredible library of Indian remedies that he's got right inside of his head.  18 years later my daughter is still alive and cancer free." 

 

 

Dr. Mukesh H. Mehta, Pulmonary Oncologist: "I came in contact with Carol, she was referred to me by a local physician because of her abnormal X-Ray. The most unusual thing about Carol's presentation and diagnosis was the size of the tumor which occupied almost the whole right side of her chest.  The most important thing about the tumor in the X-Ray and the CAT Scan was that the tumor was encapsulated.  That's a medical terminology meaning that the body's own defense mechanisms are trying to fence the tumor from going anywhere else in the body.  Somebody with that diagnosis is Sarcoma of the lung which is very unusual, and I must tell you, the Sarcomas are notorious for killing the patient because they metastacize through the blood vessels all over the body in a rather very short period of time. I did not know anything about (Billy Rainwater and his Native American Medicineman background) and I was rather sceptical about it.  However, looking at the size of the tumor, talking to her, following up, I realized, what it had done and I'm convinced that whatever the ingredients in that tea were that it definitely helped her culminate the tumor and control it.  She would have otherwise definitely been dead."

 

"The first time I met Billy Rainwater was at a production meeting at his home in Brooksville.  I walked in the door of his home and I see him sitting across the room, and he's looking at me strangely as if he was scanning me like an X-Ray machine.  Before he even says 'hello' he says to me 'You're suffering from very bad leg cramps' he said 'you need to get off that cholesterol medicine you're on' and then he names the medicine.  So a few weeks went by and we're into the production and I'm really having a bad time with these leg cramps and the doctor had put me on another medication that wasn't working either.  So I said (to myself), you know, all these testimonies that we have from Billy about how this works and that works and people are getting better - I'm going to see what he has for cholesterol.  So I gave him a call and I told him about how my cholesterol is really high because I had just had a lab and it was off the charts and I said when I come up for the next meeting film shoot please have some medicine for me, and he did.  My cholesterol was 404 before I took Billy's herbal remedy.  My triglycerides were 620.  That wasn't just high, that was on the alert.  One month later on May 1st 2006 my cholesterol was 181 and my triglycerides had come down to 267.  My doctors were absolutely amazed how quickly - they'd never seen anything like it - my cholesterol came down.  So they were thinking that it was these two medicines that they had put me on at the same time that was the major miracle.  I didn't have the heart to tell them at the time that 'Oh, I wasn't following your orders and I took an Indian Medicineman's herbal remedy.'  Eventually I will tell them."

(In 2000) "I was diagnosed with Myaloma which is a form of cancer that affects the blood supply to the kidney, that's where the problem ultimately rests, and I called you to tell you that I had this problem and not long after that you recommended that I try some of this herbal medicine that Billy Rainwater had and you sent me some and I was doing quite a bit better for quite a while.  So much better that I decided, well, I don't have to do this (take the herbal tea) anymore.   By blood analysis and also by urinalysis what they look for is something called Creatin.  There's a score calculated based on that, and the higher the level of creatinin the worse off you are.  It was on the downward trend and when I knocked off the tea for reasons that I don't recall it suddenly began to rise again. (At this point an oncologist had given him three months to live, so he began taking the tea again after being lectured by a friend to stay on it).  It was not long after this that I went back to see the oncologist and she congratulated herself on having cured me, but the thing is, I was on that steroid treatment all the time and when I started down hill I was still on that.  So the steroids didn't do anything for me at all, and I commented on this to the oncologist and she said 'Well, you're doing real good - the steroid treatment is helping you now' and I said, well, it's not just that I've been supplied with some tea by this medicineman, oddly enough.  She said 'Well, what kind of degrees does he have?' and I said he's just good at what he does, that's all.  She said 'Do you realize that stuff could kill you!' and my wife was sitting there and she said 'Well, so could chemotherapy'."

"I had been in a lot of discomfort and I went to the doctor and I had some tests run and the tests suggested that I had pancreatic cancer.  The surgeon removed part of the tumor and they tested it and they confirmed that it was malignant.  Unfortunately by March of 2006 they found a tumor in my lung which they biopsied and they confirmed that the pancreatic cancer had metastacized my lung.  My doctor, Dr. Jennifer Ball hoped that she would be able to keep me stabil - that everything would remain the same - she did not anticipate being able to get rid of the tumor.  A friend of mine knew of the tea and she told me about the successes that he had had, and I decided at this time I would try it, I had nothing to lose, that's how I found out about it.  I had another scan in May of 2006 and it showed a thirty percent reduction in the size of the tumor in my lung.  We were thrilled, my doctor was thrilled and she suggested that I stay with the tea and continue everything the way I have been doing it."

 

Billy Rainwater, speaking about his early life and training by tribal medicine men, and the way he eventually became a medicine man himself: "I had to get all these plants, they'd tell me which one it was.  If I brought back the wrong on they'd say 'no, it looks like that', but you stick your tongue on it and stuff comes out of it and its kind of stringy, so I'd have to go back and, what they were talking about was an Aloe plant, it's called a burn plant.  They taught me about the different trees, they kept teaching me something different every day and you don't really learn like most people go to school and learn something.  When you learn you just run to go get something because you have to dig it up - and they'd never let me dig a little one, I had to dig a big tree, it had to be about that big around, dig down about ten feet to find the end of the root, and they'd say that's the wrong one go get the different root on the other side.  So finally after years of doing this, I finally found out that I'm learning medicine.

 

There are a bunch of people I know that I've been treating that have Hepatitis C and I make teas up for them by body stucture and when they've taken it, within six months so far all twelve of them are what they call in full remission.  I even have a couple people who have been diagnosed with AIDS, now they're also in remission.  Now the doctors say well, it's just going to go away and come back twice as bad.  But one fellow has been taking herbs for about seven years and nothing has come back yet, and he's still in remission."

 

 

"My diagnosis was HIV and I was diagnosed on December 10th of 1990. I've been on medications for about the past six years    and with all the controversy of the health care system and all the uncertainties I was looking for an alternative.  I was also looking for an alternative because I was looking for something more natural.  My T-Cells, which is how they monitor the medication and my progress always fluctuated, yet it was the T-Cell percentage which was what they were primarily concerned with - and although they've fluctuated somewhat on the medications, with the tea I found that just recently they've been steadily going up.  And as in where it is in my belief, very similar to the Native American - everything that we need is placed right here at our fingertips.  It's just a matter of going out and getting it.  There is spiritual gratification because it's not just like taking a pill out of the bottle and ingesting it.  There is an entire process, and I am a part of that entire process when taking the tea.  I'm more a part of my own recovery, and I believe that participating in that manner, that I've already begun to heal."

 

 

These are some of the testimonials about Billy Rainwater and native American alternative medicines effectiveness against various illnesses.  All testimonials are available on the award winning documentary DVD available on the "Documentary" page link.  This inspirational documentary offers information on how to prepare and store the teas as well as tribal ceremonial footage and esoteric aspects of the herb gathering prior to preparation.  In 1835 Native American tribes decreed not to divulge the herbal Indian medicine secrets of their ancestors; to do so would result in censure and banishment from the tribe.  Most Native Americans reject sharing their spirituality and healing techniques with Non-Native Americans.  But some medicine men believe that this wisdom should be shared freely among all people, both for its power to prevent and its power to heal.  One such medicineman is Billy Rainwater.  As a result of his recent sharing while filming this documentary he has been banished from his tribe for an indefinite period of time.  His Indian birth name "Iamyellie" means "he who walks among the clouds".  Billy Rainwater was born on a reservation in Illinois on August 3rd, 1942 in a place called "Indian Town", Bureau County, named in honor of Pierre DeBureau, a half breed trader of French and Native American Ancestry who established a trading post with the Indians on the Illinois River in the 1700s.  You will see footage showing portions of Native American medicine man rites never revealed before - and you will be drawn into the ceremony as a part of the circle of life.
