The Cancer Industry: The Classic Expose… book by Ralph W. Moss
I compare this book to the “cancer” of Fast Food Nation – Search. Why?
Because you understand the why’s, how’s, and will probably get good and angry by the time you’re done. I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone going through cancer, or even their family members (would hit a lot of nerves you may not want to touch during times of emotional stress), but when you’re loved ones are healthy and you feel like putting up a good fight, this will certainly give you something to go by.
I try to read books with an open mind, especially those pertaining to my industry. I feel this was a balanced, fair representation of what is going on in our health care industry, especially as relates to cancer. In and of itself, cancer is scary. Combined with the health industry, you want to bury your head.
The “war on cancer” is being lost and this book gives the primary reasons why. The current treatments – mainly chemotherapy and radiation – are largely ineffective and so toxic people often die from their treatment rather than their disease. There’s been nothing new from the research community in decades, and the number of cancer victims keeps rising.
Ralph W. Moss worked at one of the most prestigious cancer research and treatment facilities in the US – Memorial Sloan-Kettering in New York. He quit when that institution deliberately misled the press and public about test results for a promising treatment. That treatment was the much-maligned laetrile (vitamin B-17) that was finally banned by the FDA and its proponents forced underground.
Kanematsu Sugiura (1890 – October 21, 1979 in White Plains, New York) was a cancer researcher who spent his career at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. A pioneer in cancer research”,[1] he completed over 250 papers before his death. Sugiura received a number of awards and prizes throughout his life, and retired from the center in 1962.[2]
Interestingly, Moss reports that Sloan-Kettering’s most respected researcher, Kanematsu Sugiura, stood by the efficacy of laetrile until his death. The Cancer Industry – Search Videos with the with a bias toward those methods that are the favorites of their financial backers, even to the point of disregarding their own researchers, as they did with Dr. Sugiura.
He is perhaps best known for his work on laetrile, a controversial alternative cancer treatment, which he was convinced had a palliative effect on certain mice tumors. The report that was released by Sugiura of his findings of the experiment are as follows: The results clearly show that Amygdalin (Laetrile) significantly inhibits the appearance of lung metastasis in mice bearing spontaneous mammary tumors and increases significantly the inhibition of the growth of the primary tumors…. Laetrile also seemed to slightly prevent the appearance of new tumors…. The improvement of health and appearance of the treated animals in comparison to controls is always a common observation…. Dr. Sugiura has never observed complete regression of these tumors in all his cosmic experience with other chemotherapeutic agents.[1]
Laetrile controversy
In 1972, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center board member Benno Schmidt convinced the hospital to test laetrile in order to assert its ineffectiveness “with some conviction”.[3] Sugiura found that laetrile inhibited secondary tumors in mice, without destroying the primary tumor, but in a blind test was unable to conclude that laetrile had anticancer activity.
The initial positive results were not published because, in the words of Chester Stock, Sugiura’s supervisor, “it would have caused all kind of havoc.” Nevertheless, they were leaked in 1973, causing a stir. Consequently laetrile was tested on 14 tumor systems, and a Sloan-Kettering press release concluded that laetrile showed no beneficial effects.[3]
Three other researchers were unable to confirm Sugiura’s results. Mistakes in the Sloan-Kettering press release were highlighted by a group of laetrile proponents, led by Ralph W. Moss, former public affairs official of Sloan-Kettering hospital, who was fired when he announced his membership in the group. These mistakes were considered inconsequential, but Nicholas Wade in Science noted that, “even the appearance of a departure from strict objectivity is unfortunate.”[3]
Dr. Francisco Contreras serves as director, president and chairman of the Oasis of Hope Hospital. A distinguished oncologist and surgeon, Contreras is renowned for combining conventional and alternative medical treatments with emotional and spiritual support to provide patients with the most positive treatment experience possible.
Contreras in a past interview with (Dr Carl O. Helvie) – Cancer Compass An Alternate Route told him that in his Mexican Clinic. Laetrile is one of his most beneficial for stage 4 cancer. Although Carl told me in the past that he would recommend 3000 mg of Laetrile until the cancer goes dormant then for maintenance consume the bitter apricot seeds.
The results of all of the studies were published together in the Journal of Surgical Oncology.[4] The medical staff at Sloan-Kettering had a bias toward chemotherapy, since their Board of Directors included corporate bigwigs whose business interests benefited from chemo profits, which are enormous.
Another promising treatment, Hydrazine sulfate, suffered the same fate as laetrile, even though its backers had considerable success with it. Unlike chemo, which generally makes the patient sicker, hydrazine sulfate works by building the patient’s strength.
It was the result of a logical deduction, arising from the fact that cancer patients often die of “cachexia,” a term that literally means “wasting away.” Hydrazine sulfate is an anti-cachexia agent. It works with the patient’s own resistance to restore health. What really doomed these two approaches to cancer treatment is that both are natural substances and their use in cancer treatment is part of a nutritional approach.
Drug companies cannot patent anything natural or profit from nutritional therapy as they can from chemical substances which they alone control through patents. Laetrile is a naturally-occurring substance found in many foods, including apricots. Hydrazine sulfate is a very cheap substance that is readily available. Moss also examines in detail the treatment of William Coley (Coley’s Toxin) Dr. Lawrence Burton, Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, Linus Pauling and vitamin C, and Virginia Livingston with her germ theory.
All of these people achieved some success, but their methods were rejected by the orthodox cancer establishment. Moss does not suggest that there is a formal conspiracy to suppress alternate treatments, but he does suggest that the organizations that control the direction of cancer treatment, whether government agencies, private companies, or research and treatment centers,
Ralph Moss does an excellent job documenting the fraud and deception that has been going on in healthcare for years. This is a must read for cancer patients and anyone looking to educate themselves about the truth concerning the “business with disease!” Millions of people are dying needlessly due to the war on information going on in this country.
There are a number of alternative healing therapies that work so well and cost so little when compared to conventional treatment, that Organized Medicine, the Food & Drug Administration, and their overlords in the Pharmaceutical Industry (The Big Three) would rather the public not know about them.
The reason is obvious: alternative, non-toxic therapies represent a potential loss of billions of dollars to allopathic medicine and drug companies. The Big Three have collectively engaged in a medical collusion for over 70 years to influence legislative bodies at both the federal and state levels.
The ultimate objective of which has been, and still is, to produce regulations that encourage the use of drug medicine while simultaneously creating restrictive, controlling mechanisms (licensing, government approval, etc.) also designed to limit and stifle the availability of non-drug, alternative modalities. If your goal is to empower yourself with life-saving knowledge, “The Cancer Industry” is for you.
Dr. Matthew J. Loop – Author of “Cracking the Cancer Code”
Blending cutting-edge scientific research with useful messages about personal responsibility and prosperity, Cracking the Cancer Code is a groundbreaking handbook which will help you understand and apply the principles of abundant health.
Dr. Matthew J. Loop provides a brief overview of the nature and causes of cancer while discussing its common treatments, then elaborates on the various external and environmental factors that contribute to its development.
He emphasizes the tenets of proper nutrition, and investigates the environmental hazards that people unwittingly expose themselves to on a daily basis. Dr. Loop also examines internal factors-thoughts, feelings, and disposition-and the role they ultimately play in physical health.
Shattering commonly held beliefs about the nature and causes of cancer, Dr. Loop’s Cracking the Cancer Code – Search Videos gives back what many facing the disease feel they have lost: a sense of their own power.
Prosperity and abundance, in the form of health, manifests itself from the inside out. Cracking the Cancer Code is an easy-to-understand and comprehensive reference guide that will help anyone diagnosed with cancer discover the path to empowerment and optimal health.
