    I guess that your help system is not disabled, but maybe
    you have changed the key binding of help-for-help
    command.  You can invoke help by typing 
    
    M-x help-for-help
    
    If you like to do that by hitting C-h, find the lines like
    
    (global-unset-key "\^h")
    (global-set-key "\^h" 'delete-backward-char)

    in your .emacs, and delete them both.
    
    Best regards,
