Using the Immune System to Fight Cancer

Dr. Len Lichtenfeld of the American Cancer Society and Dr. John Niederhuber of the National Cancer Institute were quoted in an Associated Press article that cancer vaccines are beginning to show effectiveness. This is an important breakthrough because the cancer establishment has not approved any treatment other than surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for generations, even though there have been many promising therapies available to boost the immune system. High dose vitamin C is one example. Twenty years ago, a group of alternative physicians formed an Institutional Review Board to review research projects using more natural treatments that were automatically rejected by University IRB’s. Initially, we were approved by the FDA, and we supervised a good many of important projects. However, in time the FDA decided that they were going to put us out of business, and they flooded us with demand after demand. Finally, we gave up because we could not afford the extra requirements. Now the infamous “quackbusters” are posting as many negative comments about our work as they can dream up. Fortunately, no one is paying much attention. But I mention this because one of the projects we approved involved successful work with cancer vaccines 15 years ago. The FDA and the Cancer societies attacked it viciously at that time, and now they are embracing it as their own idea. I sincerely hope they will not continue to drag their feet as they have in the past.
