Did you know…
The leading drug problem in the U.S. today is not the use of illegal drugs--it is the use of legal drugs.
The fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. is properly prescribed and administered medication. By adding improperly prescribed medication to that equation, it becomes the third leading cause of death.
There are over 2 million hospital admissions and 180,000 deaths each and every year in the U.S. due solely to adverse drug reactions
When the FDA approves a medication for use by the general public, less than half of the serious drug reactions are known. You--the patient--become the final clinical trial

The cancer industry- an expose

The message that underlies healing is simple yet radical: we are already whole. Underneath our fears and worries, unaffected by the many layers of our conditioning and actions, is a peaceful core.".The work of healing is in peeling away the barriers of fear that keep us unaware of our true nature of love, peace, and rich interconnection with the web of life. Healing is the rediscovery of who we are and who we have always been-Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., of the Harvard Medical School

An excellent book which truthfully exposes the powerful, vested interests which keep the vivisection industry alive.Exposes the medical, chemical and vivisection industries which are responsible for the mass belief that animal research is necessary. This book absolutely proves that animal experimentation is harmful to human health. Excellent documentation and interesting. Moore

Profiteeering pharmaceutical companies and the FDA have met their match in Dr. Jerry Avorn, a Harvard Medical school researcher and clinician. In Powerful Medicines, he brilliantly combines patient vignettes, scientific critique, and statistics to create a risk/benefit balance for prescription drugs. His premise: "Every drug is a triangle with three faces--representing the healing it can bring, the hazards it can inflict and the economic impact of each." Avorn's gifts as a writer are apparent in the prologue, an edgy account of the mismanaged medications of several stroke patients. He then details the intellectual history of drug assessment and benefits, including the biblical food police in the Book of Daniel, the deer in the headlights Estrogen debacle and the current infatuation with Ginseng and other alternative medicines. Turning from benefits to risks, Avorn examines diet pills, Viagra, cold medicines and diabetes drugs with comparisons the decisions of Dr. Fautus--who makes life-changing bargains between safety and effectiveness. Other insightful chapters offer views of prescription drug economies, and comparative healthcare around the globe. The final chapters create an insightful template for emerging public policy. Throughout, Avorn pulls at common threads: the line between personal and public responsibility, the perils of drug promotion, and the marketplace that usurps the role of scientific evidence in selecting treatments. Anyone looking for a quick muckraking read will be disappointed. Moore

Read this book, all the pieces of the healthcare debate will fall into place after you've read this. You'll realize what a sinister system we have in place in this country. PROFIT MOTIVE. Moore

The Rockefellers -CEO ‘cancer incorporation’

"The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the medicine- William Osler, M.D.

The initial interest of the Rockefeller family in the drug business is traced to the father of John D. Rockefeller- William Avery Rockefeller also known as ‘Big Bill’. He was a petty quark drug vendor of medicinal drugs obtained primarily from crude oil and alcohol extracts. With no medical education, he advertised as a doctor and was referred to as Doctor William A. Rockefeller and a cancer specialist, listed wrongly in the local directory as treating all kinds of cancer- a case of practicing medicine without lenience.

By the late 1800s the Rockefeller families were billionaires that had total monopolistic control of the oil industry in the United States. This control was reorganized into the Standard oil company of New Jersey in 1899. By the early 1900, following public disdain over this monopoly, John D Rockefeller decided to split the standard oil company into six different entities to diffuse public outcry while still retaining controlling interest. Similarly, Rockefellers in the oil business went beyond the shores of the United States of America and in the early 1900s, it established business relationships with Royal Dutch- shell Oil Company and the Soviet Noble Oil works. The financial gains from these associations led to their control of world finance through the their controlling interest in the first National city Bank Of New York, the chase Manhattan Bank, and the First Boston Corporation which earned New York the financial capital of the world. This ultimately gave birth to Wall Street from whence cancer therapy was conceived and fostered upon Main Street using the congress and the office of the united states president as accomplice.

Cancer business, The Rockefellers and Hitler’s Nazi

The roles of drug cartel in drug-based medicine are well documented in Hans Ruesch’s book- Naked Empress; The Great medical fraud and Morris A. Beal’s book-the drug story. In the mid 1900s, the Rockefeller’s standard oil entered into business relationship with a German pharmaceutical company named I.G. Farben. The initials I.G means Interssen Gemeinschaft which in German is ‘Cartel’ and Faben means ‘dyes’. From the name, I.G Farben is a shadowy world wide chemical company and a feudalistic organization that brought Hitler from oblivion to power and was the very the financial backbone of the Nazi regime. At the height of its dominance, it controlled the chemical business through concealed interest all over the world. During the Nazi trials in Nuremberg, officials of IG Faben were merely given a slap on the wrist despite the severity of their involvement in financing the Nazi regime. They have vested interest in worldwide control, manufacture and supplies of ammunitions and drugs. I.G Farben was founded in the mid 1900 by German industrialist Herman Schmitz and Swiss banker Eduard Greutert. In the United States, they had business associations with practically all American companies that formed the bedrock of the industrial revolution and transformed the United States from a British colony to a super power. These relationships gave birth to the industrial- military complex that covertly nominates American Presidents till date despite the outward portrayal of democracy

During the second world war, while the American and the allied forces were at war with Hitler, the business relationship between the I.G Faben and the United states industrial-military complex bolstered especially in the area of war machineries. ‘I.G Faben experienced tremendous growth as the originator and beneficiary of the Second world war. The Nazi War machine also received tremendous support from it cartel partners in America while Nazi troops were killing Americans and Allied forces. An example of this is the Ford Motor company which supplied military hardware all through the war both in Germany and Nazi occupied France .

Germany had extensive coal reserves but no petroleum .The defeat of Germany in the first world was as principally due to its lack of crude oil. Through one of its research scientists named Dr Bergius, I.G Faben was able to develop a hydrogenation technology to extract gasoline from coal. This development fostered the relationship with John D Rockefeller, I.G .Faben and the DuPont family. Through this relationship standard oil was able to acquire the exclusive right to this technology all over the world except Germany.

The partnership with the I.G Faben drug business and the initial success of ‘Big Bill’ –john D’s father aroused the interest of the Rockefellers in the drug business at about the same time the Rockefellers through their parent company Standard oil began making large financial contributions to the Memorial cancer hospital which earned them board membership, managers and chairman of the hospital. That relationship helped the Rockefellers to push for the legitimization of the use of chemotherapy and radiation as the standard of care for cancer in the world for ever. It gave birth to an international cartel of drug companies with I.G Farben and the Rockefellers as having ‘behind the scene’ ownership interest in virtually all major pharmaceutical companies in the world till date. With this control comes power and government influence.

With this influence ,the exerted their control of the Medical education in the world, the control of the Food And Drug Administration, The control of the American Medical Association, the control of the American Cancer Society as organs that have direct interactions with the general public. In the mid 1900s, the Rockefellers with their foothold in the drug business began donating huge sums of money to the Memorial hospital and also donated the land on which the new hospital was build in return for managerial control of the hospital. Along with the Morgan’s they controlled and appointed their stooges to the boards and chairmanship of this world hospital. From these associations, the cancer industry- a for profit cooperation, was conceived primarily for financial gains through control of public education about cancer.

The research institute, am arm of the Memorial hospital was established in 1945 with a $4 million gift from the foundation of Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. Half the gift was to fund construction of a 13-story research facility and the other half to provide annual operating expenses. Charles F. Kettering, vice president and director of research for General Motors Corporation, was to organize and apply modern American industrial research techniques to cancer research. In addition to the Sloan grant, a public campaign to raise an additional $3 million to $4 million was undertaken and an important financier who stepped in at a critical juncture was the ongoing supporter Laurance Rockefeller, of the philanthropic Rockefeller family, Consequently the hospital was renamed Memorial Sloan- Kettering hospital after these two executives. Ironically as at 1978, General Motors was reputed to be responsible for about one third of the total air pollution in the United States. As at 1978, 25% of the board members of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering hospital have ties to industries that produce cancer causing products and the pharmaceutical industries that produce cancer drugs.

The Memorial Sloan –Kettering hospital became the launching pad for chemotherapy as the standard of care for cancer management with nitrogen mustard as the pioneer chemical and the practitioners then was referred to as chemotherapist. In the mid 1900s, the interest of the Rockefellers, the Morgan’s and Wall Street investors went beyond the Memorial Sloan-Kettering hospital. They also had interest in the American Cancer society by their financial contributions.

The American Cancer Society was originally known as the American Society for the Control of Cancer. The Charter of the ACS stipulates that it be disbanded the day a cure is found for cancer. The same ACS a $400million dollars a year enterprise operates to make sure the cure is never found for cancer thus ensuring its survivability. About the same time, Hoffman-La Roche (a drug lord), Elmer Bobst (a political Activist), Albert and Mary Lasker (of the American tobacco company and trustees of the Memorial Hospital) took control of the American Cancer Society used it to propagate chemotherapy and radiation as the standard of care for cancer treatment while also discrediting holistic remedies. They were also responsible for the cordial relationships between all governmental organs responsible for cancer research namely the FDA, the NCI and fostered opportunities for revolving doors where by which former employees of any of these organizations can hold joint employments in private pharmaceutical companies. As at 1978, 25% of the board members of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering hospital have ties to industries that produce cancer causing products and the pharmaceutical industries that produce cancer drugs.

From the foregoing ,the Rockefellers and the industrial military complex in America established the cancer industry as a for profit organization with the medical establishment , the pharmaceutical industries and the congress despite irrefutable studies that indicate that chemotherapy and radiation saves only the lives of about 3% of cancer patients while alternative remedies saves over 90% of cancer patients. Ironically about 80% of all cancer patients are administered chemotherapy drugs . Medical research indicate that in the 1930s, less than 25% of cancer patients survived and today with conventional medicine the survival rate has tripled to about 65%. These data did not take into consideration the fact that only about 3% of the population had cancer in the 1930s when compared to 1 in 3 people today. Unless we put medical freedom in the constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize itself into an undercover dictatorship.

To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the bestial of medical science. All such laws are un-American and fragment of monarchy and have no place in the republic. The constitution of the republic should make room for medical and religious freedom’ says Dr Benjamin Rush, Signer of the declaration of independence, Father of American Psychiatry and Founder of American Horticulture

Robert Catalano at age 16 was introduced to the research of the late Dr. Henry Lindlahr, who had performed cancer studies at his own cancer clinic in Chicago in the late 1800s. Lindlahr found that Drugs and surgery did more harm than good in the treatment of cancer. His findings were rejected by his colleagues.In the mid 1950s, Robert Catalano worked as a pharmacist and drug store manager for Robert's Drug in Oklahoma City, began to see some truth in Lindlahr's findings. After many years of his own private study and observations, Bob Catalano has come to the conclusion that the use of drugs and vaccinations should be completely abolished as a giant fraud and hoax. This book is the result of many years of close observation; and amounts to a huge assault on the pharmaceutical industry. Moore

This book reveals the seedy underbelly of collusion and greed prevalent in the corporate world in general. The main message is "Profit Over People"! I consider this just as bad as any horrific crime against humanity. Everyone must read books like this one or we all lose everything.Officially, we are told that the system is at the service of the patient. But, in practice, the system is at the service of...industry [that] pulls the strings and maintains a system [or a medicine] of sickness for its own profit. That is the MEDICAL MAFIA." Moore

History of Radiation

X-rays were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen (1845-1923) who was a Professor at Wuerzburg University in Germany. He concluded that a new type of ray was being emitted from the tube. Roentgen discovered that the ray could pass through the tissue of humans, but not bones and metal objects. One of Roentgen's first experiments late in 1895 was a film of the hand of his wife, Bertha. It is interesting that the first use of X-rays were for an industrial (not medical) application.

Public fancy was caught by this invisible ray with the ability to pass through solid matter, and, in conjunction with a photographic plate, provide a picture of bones and interior body parts. Scientific fancy was captured by the demonstration of a wavelength shorter than light. This generated new possibilities in physics, and for investigating the structure of matter. Much enthusiasm was generated about potential applications of rays as an aid in medicine and surgery. Within a month after the announcement of the discovery, several medical radiographs had been made in Europe and the United States, which were used by surgeons to guide them in their work. In June 1896, only 6 months after Roentgen announced his discovery, X-rays were being used by battlefield physicians to locate bullets in wounded soldiers.

Shortly after the discovery of X-rays, another form of penetrating rays was discovered. In 1896, French scientist Henri Becquerel discovered natural radioactivity. Many scientists of the period were working with cathode rays, and other scientists were gathering evidence on the theory that the atom could be subdivided. Some of the new research showed that certain types of atoms disintegrate by themselves. It was Henri Becquerel who discovered this phenomenon while investigating the properties of fluorescent minerals. Becquerel was researching the principles of fluorescence, wherein certain minerals glow (fluoresce) when exposed to sunlight.

One of the minerals Becquerel worked with was a uranium compound. Bacquerel's discovery was, unlike that of the X-rays, virtually unnoticed by laymen and scientists alike. Relatively few scientists were interested in Becquerel's findings. It was not until the discovery of radium by the Curies two years later that interest in radioactivity became widespread.

The field of radiation therapy began to grow in the early 1900s largely due to the groundbreaking work of Nobel Prize-winning Polish scientist Marie Curie, who discovered the radioactive elements polonium and radium.While working in France at the time of Becquerel's discovery, Marie Curie became very interested in his work. She suspected that a uranium ore known as pitchblende contained other radioactive elements. Marie and her husband, French scientist Pierre Curie, started looking for these other elements. In 1898, the Curies discovered another radioactive element in pitchblende, and named it 'polonium' in honor of Marie Curie's native homeland. Later that year, the Curies discovered another radioactive element which they named radium, or shining element. Both polonium and radium were more radioactive than uranium. Since these discoveries, many other radioactive elements have been discovered or produced.

Inevitably, the widespread and unrestrained use of X-rays led to serious injuries. Often injuries were not attributed to X-ray exposure, in part because of the slow onset of symptoms, and because there was simply no reason to suspect X-rays as the cause. Some early experimenters did tie X-ray exposure and skin burns together. The first warning of possible adverse effects of X-rays came from Thomas Edison, William J. Morton, and Nikola Tesla who each reported eye irritations from experimentation with X-rays and fluorescent substances. Indeed, it is precisely this vast accumulation of quantitative dose-response data that enables health physicists to specify radiation levels so that medical, scientific, and industrial uses of radiation may continue at levels of risk no greater than, and frequently less than, the levels of risk associated with any other technology.

Marie Curie and Her spouse incidentally became the first people to isolate radium from pitchblende. It is ironic that Marie curie, who first coined the term radioactivity died from exposure to radium with her beloved daughter. It is also ironic that around this time, deaths from exposure to radium were very rampant and the American Medical Association wrongly attributes these deaths to contagious diseases. It was not until radiologist were dying of cancer at eight times the national averages in the1940s that the medical establishments began to notice the correlation between X-ray radiation and cancer. What has always been known was that while radiation kills cancerous tissues, they alter the biochemistry of the cancerous tissues to more potent cancerous cells and change normal healthy surrounding cells to cancerous cells. In 1913, James of the Phleps-dodge mining copper mining family founded the National Radium Institute with the United States bureau of mines. At about the same time He donated $100,000.00 dollars to the Memorial hospital on the following conditions:His bosom friend and personal physician, Dr James Ewing is made the medical director of the hospital.The establishment treats only cancer patientsThe Hospital uses radium as the choice of treatment for cancer patients.Consequently radiation therapy and Douglas gift help saved Memorial hospital from going out of business in the 1920s and the 1930s .

Each chapter (there are nine) of this book has many truths. These truths are not out-of-date and will probably remain relevant into the far future. Here are just three examples:

1) "Every drug stresses and hurts your body in some way."
2) "A healthy society is characterized by strong, positive family relationships and subsequent minimal need of doctors."
3) "Doctors are not trained to attack the core of any problem, merely to suppress symptoms."

Reintroducing education, therapeutic nutrition, and choice to health care, Health Myths Exposed has liberated thousands of courageous and forward-thinking individuals. The general public as well as health-care leaders have used Health Myths Exposed to resist the current of greed that strives to push them toward prescription drug servitude. The end result has been health freedom – a vibrantly healthy life independent of prescription drugs. Health Myths Exposed is more than a book. With surging momentum it has become a movement ? a movement away from FDA approved drug addiction and away from medical doctors who dictate that one-drug-fits-all. Most important, it’s a movement away from complex, obscure health ideas and toward common sense which asserts that, except for emergency medicine, very few prescription drugs have value and those which do can usually be replaced with safer, less expensive natural medicine.Moore

We need hugs;Not drugs

History of chemotherapy It was a tradition for epidemiologist to work very closely with industries that make cancer causing products in order to get the data they need for their research :Similarly employees of the American Cancer Society retire and go on to work for industries like the tobacco industry that make cancer causing products. Such a co-operation often leads to cooptation-Epidemiologist Devra Davis, Atlanta Journal-Constitution September 30^th 2007.

The history of chemical therapy in medicine starts with the sixteenth century Swiss-German doctor called Paracelsus. He was responsible for the replacement of natural remedies like vegetables with inorganic substances like - mercury and antimony. This altered the practice of medicine from the use of holistic natural remedies to the use of drugs and earned him the title’ founder of chemical pharmacology’. Majority of the original work is credited to the German bacteriologist from Frankfurt Paul Ehrlich.

Paul Ehrlich is the discoverer of the word chemotherapy which he initially termed ‘magic bullet’. He injected syphilis patients with arsenic compounds with fatal consequences and few survivors. Despite fatalities, the few survivors became the ignition for chemotherapy as a form of therapy. He was awarded a Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1908 for some of his pioneering work and is considered the ‘father of modern Immunology and Chemotherapy’.

After Ehrlich laid down the principles, the treatment of cancer cells using chemotherapeutic agents was first carried out in the 1950s. The first drug used in treating cancer is an accidental discovery. During the World War II, mustard gas was used as a warfare agent as a result of a chemical accident in an allied ship in the Italian harbor during the 1940s. The chemical warfare agent, nitrogen mustard gas exploded killing majority of those on board with few survivors. The survivors ended up with drastically reduced bone marrow and white blood cells counts. It was discovered that individuals who were accidentally exposed to mustard gas had low WBC counts. It was reasoned that an agent with such an effect on the rapidly-dividing WBC could have the same effect on cancer cells too. As a result, the drug was intravenously used to treat individuals with late-stage lymphomas

At about the same time the United States government was undergoing experiments on the use of nitrogen mustard on living tissues with abysmal failure and a few instances of regression and disappearance in tumor size despite relapses and deaths in all cases of disappearance and regression in tumor sizes. Despite this failure, the government went on to capitalize on the anti tumor characteristics of nitrogen mustard and mysteriously chemotherapy as a form of treatment of cancer was accepted as standard of care in conventional medicine. Chemotherapy drugs like Cytoxan and Leukeran currently used in the treatment of cancer patients are nitrogen mustard derivatives.

The beginnings of the modern era of cancer chemotherapy can be traced directly to the discovery of nitrogen mustard, a chemical warfare agent, as an effective treatment for cancer. Two pharmacologists, Louis S. Goodman and Alfred Gilman were recruited by the United States Department of Defense to investigate potential therapeutic applications of chemical warfare agents. Autopsy observations of people exposed to mustard gas had revealed profound lymphoid and myeloid suppression. Goodman and Gilman reasoned that this agent could be used to treat lymphoma, since lymphoma is a tumor of lymphoid cells. Next, in collaboration with a thoracic surgeon, Gustav Linskog, they injected a related agent, mustine (the prototype nitrogen mustard anticancer chemotherapeutic), into a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. They observed a dramatic reduction in the patient's tumor masses. Although this effect lasted only a few weeks, this was the first step to the realization that cancer could be treated by pharmacological agents

.Shortly after World War II, a second approach to drug therapy of cancer began. Sidney Farber, a pathologist at Harvard Medical School, studied the effects of folic acid on leukemia patients. Folic acid ( citrovorum factor), a vitamin crucial for DNA metabolism (he did not know the significance of DNA at that time), had been discovered by Lucy Wills, when she was working in India, in 1937.

The use of radioactive materials with devastating consequences in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the second world war woke the public up to the realities of the dangers associated with radiation. After the public outcry over the radiation disaster in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission who is also a member of the board of trustee of the Memorial Sloan Kettering hospital was given the responsibility to cover up the association between the Hiroshima disaster and the use of radiation in nuclear medicine by the then United starts president Eisenhower.

Working in cohort with Cornelius P. ‘Dusty’ Rhoads, the then Chairman of the Memorial Sloan Kettering hospital, the feat was accomplished. Unfortunately, the same chemical warfare agent that that exploded with deadly consequences in the 1940 allied warship and those used at about the same time in experiments in Yale are now being used as chemotherapy agents for cancer patients today-how barbaric. After this propaganda that coincided with the end of the Second World War, Rhoads was appointed the head of a new research section of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Institute for Cancer Research that co-coordinated the testing of well over 1,500 different variations of nitrogen mustard on humans as guinea pigs.

In the 1960s the United States congress appointed a national panel of 26 consultants (10 from the American Cancer Society, 4 from the Memorial Sloan Kettering cancer hospital, several from the pharmaceutical companies that make cancer drugs, several from companies that make carcinogenic products) to study how to overcome cancer –a case of letting the prisoners to man the jail house.

Similarly, the National Cancer Institute through the Chemotherapy National Service Centers coordinated the use of about 20,000different chemicals per year as far back as 1955. The enthusiasm of the medical establishment about their new found magic cure for cancer and the recommendation of the panel of consultants appointed by congress convinced the white house under President Nixon to declare the War on cancer in 1971. Incidental this led to the promulgation of the National Cancer Act and subsequent allocation of the largest budget in American history to Cancer Research. This funding became the common denominator that tied the new power players in the cancer incorporated. It became a melting pot for the FDA, NCI, and ACS, hospitals, research institutions and universities nationwide.

The NCI allocates taxpayers grants for cancer research. Sadly the public pay for cancer research and similarly pays for the cancer drugs –a case of double public taxation. Also it is virtually impossible for alternative cancer innovations to get funding from the NCI‘s budget. Statistics show that an estimated 78,000 people get cancer from medical and dental X-rays and about 2.3 million people over a ten year period. About 75% of the annual incidence of breast cancers is due to ionizing radiation from medical sources. Untreated cancer victims live four times longer than those who undergo radiationMedical radiation from diagnostic X-rays is the leading cause of the rising rate of leukemia .

History of surgery in medicine

The earliest known surgical procedure is trepanation, also known as trephinning or trepanning, in which a hole is drilled or scraped into the skull, leaving the membrane around the brain intact. Trepanation attempts to address health problems that relate to abnormal intracranial pressure,

Among the first modern surgeons were battlefield doctors in the Napoleonic Wars who were primarily concerned with amputation. Naval surgeons were often barber-surgeons, who combined surgery with their main jobs as barbers.

Before advent of anesthesia, surgery was a traumatically painful procedure and surgeons were encouraged to be as swift as possible to minimize patient suffering. In addition, the need for strict hygiene during procedures was little understood, which often resulted in life threatening post-op infections in patients. The famous 18th century surgeon, John Hunter, said that surgery may cure cancer if the tumor had not spread to the surrounding tissue.

For many centuries, surgery was the only treatment for cancer. Pain, infection and hemorrhage limited its usefulness and success until anesthetics were discovered in the 1840s. In 1846, John Collins Warren performed what is thought to be the first major cancer operation under general anesthesia - the removal of a patient's cancerous salivary glands. Beginning in the 1840s, surgery began to change dramatically in character with the discovery of effective and practical anesthetic chemicals such as ether and chloroform. In addition in relieving patient suffering, anesthesia allowed more intricate operations in the internal regions of the human body. In addition, the discovery of muscle relaxants such as curare allowed for safer applications.

However, the move to longer operations increased the danger of dangerous complications since the prolonged exposure of surgical wounds to the open air heightened the chance of infections. It was only in the late 19th century with the rise of microbiology with scientist like Louis Pasteur.The 19^th century saw rapid progress and is often referred to as "the century of the surgeon". These advances led to a large increase in the number of people who survived surgery. The development of antiseptic techniques by Joseph Lister in 1867, the ability to transfuse blood in the 1930s and the discovery of antibiotics in the 1940s are all landmarks in the history of surgery.

The field of cancer surgery, or 'surgical oncology', grew in line with these advances. Pioneering work by Theodore Billroth in Austria between 1860 and 1890 led to the first successful operations to remove the stomach, voice box and food pipe. In the USA in 1889, William Halsted noticed that breast cancer recurred more often in women who had had their tumor removed but not the surrounding tissue. He developed a technique called the 'radical mastectomy', the surgical removal of the tumor, breast, overlying skin and muscle.

This procedure remained the mainstay of breast cancer treatment until the use of chemo- and radiotherapy, and the ability to diagnose breast cancer earlier thanks to screening programmers, means that radical mastectomy can often be avoided. At around the same time, the English surgeon Stephen Paget discovered that cancer cells could spread through the blood and lymph systems, but could only grow in a few organs.

The humble beginning of surgery in present day cancer management dates back to the work of J.Marion Sims.

Sims was the founder what is now called The Memorial Sloan-Kettering hospital. J.Marion Sims received underrated medical training in the south before dabbling into surgery using slave- women as guinea pigs and without antiseptics. These surgical skills were transferred to the north and helped formed the now Women’s hospital in New York. High mortalities and complications associated with Sims experiments led to his expulsion from the Women’s hospital by the Lady Managers.

In the 1800s the Wealthy Astor family who dominated the fur business and tenement property business provided the initial financing of about $150,000 for the then New York Cancer hospital which became the famous Memorial Cancer hospital .At about this time members of the Astor family had cancer and they hoped their donations will help spur more research on cancer. The Lady Managers turned down this offer because of their experience with Sims.

Sims entered into private negotiations with the Astor family to obtain the money independently and this donation was used to establish the New York cancer Hospital in 1884 making it the first privately owned cancer hospital in the United States of America. This hospital is what metamorphosed into the now Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center .Like a Greek gift, the strings attached to their funds were that they have a say in who get nominated to the board of directors and chairmanship of the hospital.

In 1987, the American Medical Association, the American College Of Surgeon and the American College Of Radiologists were convicted in federal court of a conspiracy to destroy and eliminate the chiropractic profession in the United States Of America.

Mr. Griffin marshals the evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease like scurvy or pellagra aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modem mans diet. That substance is vitamin B17. In its purified form developed for cancer therapy, it is known as Laetrile. Why has orthodox medicine waged war against this non drug approach? The author contends that the answer is to be found, not in science, but in politics and is based upon the hidden economic and power agenda of those who dominate the medical establishment. This is a new edition of the book. It is the most complete and authoritative treatise ever produced on Laetrile. It explains the theory by which Laetrile is believed to work.Moore

The bottom line is this ..: The human body "WILL HEAL"... If we get out of our own way and allow it, it heals itself. It is our basic nature. Anybody who tells you other than that is trying to sell you something. No matter what you have been told. Don't give up on yourself and don't buy into the lines like ... ‘oh well you've had a good life'... 'at your age'... and the worst of all ...'there's nothing further I can do, I suggest you finalize your affairs'... How dare anyone tell you to give up! So much in society combines to convince us of the propaganda that some things never get better. It's up to you ... do you want to get better? Make things better? It is human nature to make things better, evolve and grow.”-Shé D'Montford, Shambhallah, Australia
