    Story

    Richard Kraus is well-known in the UK for his atmospheric photographic work on The New Forest. He spent 15 years photographing the English countryside, publishing many books, calendars, greetings cards and postcards that won the hearts of many.

    Richard moved back to US with his wife and three children at age 40 to pursue a degree in psychology, obtaining a Ph.D. in 2005. He spent a decade helping others at a psychiatric hospital as well as doing Christian counselling prior to being diagnosed with prostate cancer. Unfortunately the cancer metastasized and is now also in the bones and lungs. It is an aggressive cancer that medical science says is “incurable”. Richard was told by one of the world’s leading oncologists that radiation will no longer work unless the tumours can be reduced in numbers and size.

    Richard just surpassed one Urologist’s prognosis prediction of death. He attributes his survival to help from a clinic in Ecuador that has been coaching Richard over the past year for no charge. However, it is really limiting what you can do by yourself at home. The Naturopathic doctor who runs the clinic is a Christian and has offered to treat Richard in Ecuador for $20,000. A similar cancer clinic in Reno Nevada charges $38,000 for three weeks and the equivalent treatment in US would cost $200,000.

    The problem with cancer is that it’s a race to the finish line; whoever gets there first is allowed to kill the other; either the cancer dies or Richard does. Richard desperately wants to do this therapy as quickly as possible before the cancer grows to a scenario of no return. He will get extensive chelation, hyperbaric chamber and various other therapies including the miracle drug GcMAF - banned in USA (except Nevada) but used extensively in Europe and Asia successfully.

    This opportunity for Richard would potentially turn Richard’s disease into remission. Please will you HELP!

      Richard was a blessing to me and thousands of others through his photographs and calendars of the New Forest and elsewhere. I hope that he will be around a little longer. Keep the faith brother.
