Heh.

John must be tired of all the drubbing over his fantasies about
vaccines. His whole site is a pathetic joke, but he still doesn't get
it.

John,

The site has not gotten any better.
It is still full of misinformation that would be harmful to anyone if followed.

Perhaps a disclaimer along the lines of "For amusement only"
could be placed on the site to help people understand.

I am happy that we do not routinely radiate patients. Nor does modern
medicine cause many cases of cancer. Unlike many alternative medicien, it
does work.

Yeh .. like this one ..
Forty years ago Harvard was one of the big players in the persecution
of Dr. Shute and his vitamin E/tocopherol .. work/treatment ..

Then they come out with a study which finds 100 mg of vitamin e
does this ..
Must have really peeved them that THIS was/is the outcome
because with such a small dose one could/might think .. they
weren't really .. trying to make it work?


In the 1950s the Shute brothers in Ontario
did some amazing work with vitamin E. Their claims were simple. They
said vitamin E worked against heart disease and cerebrovascular
disease. They were greeted with laughter. The Harvard School of Public
Health [recently] published a huge study on vitamin E and showed that
just 100 units of vitamin E per day decreased the death rate by 40
percent. Suppose they had done that in 1960? So vitamin E was totally
destroyed by the establishment. Think of the cost of those
decisions."
American medicine was not able to destroy the Shutes careers
and their work with vitamins because they practiced in Canada.
Quoted from an interview with Peter Barry Chowka
in Nutrition Science News.

Partly because we have an aging and growing population. The more old people
you have, the more likely more will get cancer. We also have a population that
wants to live the easy life, in general. Cancer prevention is not high on
their list of priorities. And the main reason for 600,000 cancer deaths a year
may be....people live only so long. We are indeed living longer than ever
though, which most would call progress....but our bodies cannot live forever.

Nonsense. Anybody who's worked on a cancer wing at a hospital in the last
25 years knows that. Lung cancer used to be an automatic death sentence,
with very little time. Not so anymore. Breast cancer? Better diagnostics
& a variety of chemo choices & better surgical & followup techniques have
increased the life span for many people who choose it.

And if these people follow your plan of treatment -- which is ???? -- what
is their survival rate then?

But still: my adenocarcinoma in a lung (primary) in the hilus was hardly
operable due to asthma and consequent emphesema in the other lung. Thry
wamnted to take out the uppelobe with a piece if the windpipe and the
connect the bottom lobe with the stump. Nice piece of work, although
they weren't sure if the cut edge would be free of malignous cells.
OK, they did a mediostinoscopy and found after special colouring ONE
lousy cancercell in a 1/2 cm node. After the procedure the surgeon said
she was optimistic because my nodes were so small she could hardly find
them. Well, was she wrong!
Now, no operation, refinal pallative radiation coming up and that
pulmonary dr (not my regular sweety, who was on vacation) said I had a
20% chance of a 1(one) year survival!!!
The trials in Amsterdam with the enzyme inhibitors is my best bet, but
everybody and his dog has already applied after the very good resilts in
the first trial.
It is very bitter: found by accident when stage I, after 4 months of
testing in a normal and an academic hospital I am now in stage IIIA.
I have NO symptoms at all and in the 4 month the tumor has grown only
from 2.7 cm to 3.4 cm.

Aby suggestions and comments please????

I always believed the theory about our population having more cancer
because they are living longer, until I visited the French West Indies and
the US Virgin Islands. At one of the medical schools there, I was informed
that the people who live on these islands usually live between 100 and 120
years and there is almost no cancer or other chronic diseases.
I'm sure there are many theories to explain this but I believe it is
mostly because of lifestyle and diet. Genetics has been ruled out since
many of these people migrated from elsewhere.
What are we doing wrong?

Even if it is true, about people in the US Virgin Islands having less cancer and
living longer, that doesn't negate the aging population as a reason for more
cancer in the US. I also have doubts that it is true. Who "informed" you, and
how do you know what they say is true? Seems we would have heard of these
people "usually" living to "100 and 120 years" by now. Sounds like an urban, or
Caribbean myth, to me.

Maybe many migrated, but isn't most of the population of the same racial
makeup? I don't believe that most live to 100-120. I guess I'll have to check
my life expectancy tables for the US Virgin Islands and French West Indies.

The lifetime survival rate from all causes of death is zero.
Everyone dies.
The age at death for cancer patients has increased.

I would be extremely surprised to see many people almost anywhere in the
world regularly living to 100-120 years old, let alone in the West Indies.

1. Around 30 years ago Dr Hardin B. Jones, Professor of Medical Physics &
Physiology at Berkeley, announced the results of sifting and collating a
large number of unpublished hospital records, announced at the 1969 Science
Writers Conference of the ACS. He disclosed that analysis of the mass of
case histories indicated that, statistically, the life expectancy of
untreated cancer cases appears to be FOUR TIMES LONGER than that of treated
individuals.

"My studies have proved conclusively that untreated cancer victims live up
to four times longer than treated individuals. If one has cancer and opts to
do nothing at all, he will live longer and feel better than if he undergoes
radiation, chemotherapy or surgery, other than when used in immediate
life-threatening situations."---Prof Jones.

According to Prof Jones--"With every patient that...boosts his health to
build up his natural resistance, there's a high chance that the body will
find its own defence against cancer." He warned against "...being made into
a hopeless invalid through radical medical intervention which has zero
chance of extending life."

I don't know about "we," but what you are doing wrong is believing
stories like that. There is no population in the world that
consistently lives to be over 100 years old.

Mr. Bowditch:

Apparently you have an obsession with Mr. O'Neill or perhaps he with
you. None the less, from what I've read on your site and in your
usenet posts, should anyone develop as obsession with you, it's likely
in response to the obvious lies and deceptions you propagate. You
represent the new breed of pseudo-skeptic cowardice so prevalent on
the internet. If you had an engram for every lie and deception you
peddle, you might be worth listening to.

By the way, continue to attribute any and eveything you want to your
various victims, and continue to spread and elciting hate and lies on
the internet. You really quite incapable of anything else. It also
serves to simply sweeten the pot for those who in fact have filed
statement of claims.

Wrong on two counts.

One is the possibility of a spiritual afterlife.

The second is the scientifically proven existence of the immortality of certain
small bodies in our physical makeup that exist after the physical remains have
been reduced to dust. Bechamp and his "microzymas" prove that there is some
type of physical life after death.

Just plain wrong. About 50% of cancers are cured.

What a surprise. If one has a benign cancer, "doing nothing" can
be quite a viable treatment option. Basal- and squamous-cell
carcinomas, for instance, are almost never dangerous and the
treatment (excision) although extremely safe does leave visible
scars.

Of course, this isn't much help when one has melanoma.

It is true that basal cell carcinoma of the skin is benign and if not
treated will just grow locally but not metastasize. If not treated it
may kill you after many years simply from encroaching on vital
structures. But this might take more than a few decades to happen.
And by that time would be so huge that it would be hard to imagine
someone not taking care of it.

Squamous cell carcinoma also has a good prognosis if treated early. It
not treated early it can metastasize (spread to other organs) and can
be fatal.

I doubt that figure.

I doubt that they do not have cancer either.

However, people in the US are more likely to get cancer because they eat
poorly, do stupid things like smoke, and don't get enough excercise.

Actually, it does. Most people who get cancer and in their 60, 70 and 80s.
Cancer is largely a disease of genetic breakdown. As people get older, their
genes slowly mutate. Some of these mutations cause cancer. In addition,
people have a greater cummulative exposer exposure to cancer-causing stuff
as they get older.

Mr O'Neill has been informed previously that I have no engrams. I am a

Well, I'm not so sure about that. I Occasionally see patients die of
neglected basal cell cancers, and every oncologists has some patients with

It was the worst sort of inaccurate scaremongering Daily Mail drivel when it
was written, and it hasn't aged well.

The RAGE group was set up to support women who had suffered brachial plexus
injuries following surgery, radiotherapy and often chemotherapy for breast
cancer. It has performed a very valuable service for these people, and
prompted the Royal College of Radiologists to produce guidelines for the
management of radiation plexopathy. It has had significant support from
oncologists and radiobiological scientists, which it recognises.

The proportion of patients suffering significant side effects is very small,
but a small proportion of a large number is still a significant number, and
breast cancer is common. Measured against the side-effects is the fact that
locoregional radiotherapy has been shown to significantly improve the
likelihood of survival in some stages of breast cancer, and to reduce the
likelihood of local recurrence on the chest wall and in the axilla. Axillary
recurrence is a devastating problem and often leads to the same nerve
problems which RAGE publicised.

Like many other things (including sharp knives and airliners), radiotherapy
is dangerous stuff if not used properly by someone who understands it. Most
people accept that, but people like John the Whale, whose maturity
development was arrested long ago, cannot. No treatment should be given
unless there is a clear rationale, the patient understands the potential
benefits and the potential risks, and everyone agrees.

I guess if radiation oncologists had refused to give radiotherapy after
surgery for stage 2 and 3 breast cancer because of the low risks of brachial
plexus damage, there would now be an action group denouncing the fact that
patronising doctors had prevented patients having access to a treatment
which is known to prevent recurrence and prolong survival! But that's the
way of the world.

There is no abstract available for the letter from Christopher Murray and
Alan Lopez that was published in "Health Economics". However, the reference
you cite seems to be about mathematical modeling of GLOBAL disease burden
according to the title of the paper. Even if the letter had some relevance
to your claim, I would doubt that two apparently well trained
epidemiologists would make such an extraordinary claim as you do. The
survival rates quoted by Wyle are 5 years or more (most cancers that are
going to reoccur are going to do so in that time). However, even if chemo
and radiation were only going to buy me a year or two, I'd still go for it.

Unfortunately, many of alternative or holistic medicine websites are

For those suffering from cancer, this is all too serious and
unfortunately, the scientific evidence doesn't have much to offer for
many of them. While the argument over what works and doesn't or
rather, what is substantiated and isn't, goes on, people are dying and
they don't feel good about it.

No one wants to go down without a fight, unless they've lived good and
long lives. For them, any alternative is better than no alternative
and the fact is that for many of them, there is not time to wait for
science. They're dying too soon and they're not that kind of
'patient'. They're looking everywhere and at everything, unless they
have been defeated into thinking that there is workability in the
conventional/legalized arena.

So, for those who have cancer that are looking at alternatives,
whether scientifically proven or not, my best wishes to you and may
you find success.

Well, Galen Knight's website has a lot of pertinent information for
scientists and general readers alike. It is in need of refinement, but
legal difficulties with corrupt individuals and institutions have slowed
progress on this front. If you don't mind ing a bit of delving, there is
a wealth of cross-referenced information at your disposal. Here's a good

We are refining the Hell out of foods to make them last longer on
the store shelves, oblivious to the fact that this processing does
not make those who eat the food last longer.

We are adding preservatives that make the food so unpalatable to
microbes that they run the other way, evidently being smarter than
humans.

We are allowing most farming to be taken over by big agri-businesses,
who don't want to hear about the depletion of soil minerals nor the
expense of using organic farming methods. After all, real PhD scientists
assure them that replacing only the K, Na, and P molecules after the
plants use up a list of maybe 20 or 30 minerals or more, "is sufficient"
and that there is no difference between organically-grown and "scientifically"
fertilized foods. (Meanwhile you can see the symptoms of trace mineral
deficiency right out of the plant pathology textbooks, on produce
throughout your supermarket's produce department.)

We are encouraging the population to make use of a growing list of
drugs and over the counter products that don't kill them outright,
but collectively do stress the body's detoxification capacity and
immune system.

And we are exposing people to a growing power density of electromagnetic
radiation of various sorts whose long-term effects are not really as
well known as the power and cellular phone industry captains would like
you to believe.

There are probably other things we are doing that speed the process
along, but the above are a good start on the list.

Care to cite your source a little better, like naming the medical
school?

http://www.carec.org/overview_health.htm says this:

"Overall, chronic non-communicable diseases are the leading cause
of death, with heart disease, strokes, diabetes, cancer, and
injuries being among the top causes of death."

And the statement "usually liver" implies an incredible life
expectancy, which is not backed up by any official stats I could
find.

female: 80.97 years (1998 est.)

Not quite. Take away indoor plumbing and modern sanitation, and
most people wouldn't live long enough to die of cancer. They're
responsible for the decrease in adult mortality from infectious
disease in the last 100 years, not modern medicine. Increasing
peoples' lives on average by five years with bypass surgery is
a third-order effect.

Heh, you admit reading "some" of the website. Admittedly, it is a large
and detailed body of information, and could stand some more
organization, especially cross-referencing, but there is sufficient
information presented to indicate a significant breakthrough. What you
choose to do with the information is your business, but making blanket
statements based on your own broadcast ignorance does not indicate an
informed opinion. Your knee-jerk response does not impress me. Care to
elaborate? Constructive criticism is to be lauded and encouraged, when
it is encountered, and I look forward to yours, should you decide to

Protecting, preserving, and disseminating the work, developing effective
health strategies based on the ramificatons, educating those who are
interested in health, immunity, and environmental quality...

> Is it possible to synthesise these compounds?

Absolutely. The patents are for the synthesis and use, since the
compounds are naturally ocurring, and thus unpatentable...

I am guessing it would be far more costly. The synthetic compound is
quite potent, a single gram can treat millions of patients as I
recall...

It is my understanding that organ extracts come from cattle and hogs,
perhaps sheep. I think anti-venins and vaccine production involve
animals as well, but it took Galen Knight months to extract and purify
even enough compound to characterize it chemically. Researching
therapeutic use was not feasible until the synthesis was developed...

Hmmm...even with a 10% chance of a radiation-induced cancer 10 or 20
years
down the road (and it's not even *that* high--more like 3% or less),
that's
still a 90% chance of not getting a radiation-induced cancer...and still
better than a 100% chance of dying from your original cancer within a
few
years without the treatment. Not that you actually understand that
point, John.

Unfortunately Pete, we all die, and it's not too common that we get to
choose
how or when. I've heard hospice workers say that all things considered,
there
are worse ways to die than from cancer, and I would agree with that.

> No one wants to go down without a fight, unless they've lived good and

That is precisely the mindset on which the quacks prey, Pete. The quacks
know
this. Throwing hope, money and precious time at anything is not usually
the
best course for any patient. Of course, since most patients who chose
to do
this are dead, we don't have their input.

> and the fact is that for many of them, there is not time to wait for
> science.

What patients need to realize, is that today's scientific/medical
breakthroughs usually benefit tomorrow's patients, not today's. When
they do
benefit today's patients, it's great.

Let's inject some realism here: the "conventional" treatments are
"legal"
because they have been shown to work more often than not. The altmeds
so far
haven't bothered to put much effort into demonstrating that their pet
theories
work as well or better--and the testimonial from "Mr. X from Chicago"
doesn't
cut it.

While I agree with your wishes, keep in mind that "success" rarely comes
from altmed if at all.

Just to put your one eyed statements in context according to the JAMA
(journal of the AMA) doctor error as one of the main causes of premature
death rating in the first 6 as the primary cause.
Doctors life expectancy - same source, is under 58 years.
Of course we have to die some time, but so many by doctors error.
Scientifically proven medication? A UK leading doctor and head of medical
ethics says Eventually more than 50% of all currently used medications will
prove ineffective and in many cases harmful to the patients.
One of the biggest research programs was tamoxifen. 1983-1995. The
professors heading the research sere dismissed and forbidden from doing
further research, 3 university hospitals similarly discredited and
individual doctors in the trial. that is the biggest and brightest example
of medical research. Figures were massaged to prove effectiveness that was
not there, and reporting and data collection was criticized.
Oncologist Steph tells us Chemo has a 5% success rate, yet we still have
people providing it.
Doctors are giving patient chemo that they know will not work rather than
being honest about the survival chances of patients.(JAMA)
I have lived in 3 countries where deformed people were born (withered arms
etc) following the use of a medically proven drug for pregnant women that
has since had to be withdrawn.
Though we should just get a balance on research.

How many?

Which means that roughly 50% will do the job without side effects.

5% success is better than 0% success.
Just ask some cancer patients.

You point?

Actually, more effective medications will be developed. However, most of the
meds are effective.

So what if data were criticized. That is the way science works. For the rest
of the claims, how about real evidence that this is true?

We have about a 50% cancer cure (70% for kids). I would say that chemo
works.

Citation please (vol and page number(s)).

That is how science works. Doctors and scientists continue to do studies
the drugs after they are approved. The alternative is to test a drug in
millions of people. Even then, unexpected side effects would appear.

We should.

Though it is true that the vast majority of those cures are by surgery and
radiotherapy.
Chemo certainly works for the correct indications.

Sorry, all data clearly demonstrate a 1 year survival rate of
52%...not cure....survival......there is no data/evidence supporting a
50% cure rate.... a meta-analysis by richard plotkin, etiologist and
epidemiologist of murray and lopez' work show a "lifetime survival
rate of 7-9%" for cancer....that means 91-93% of patients having
cancer who receive surgery, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy will die
from cancer......
