The worsening state of affairs has moved Lancet in editorials to point out that the orthodox treatments for breast cancer are ineffective, and they liken chemotherapy to "a treatment with a grand future behind it".
The rising statistics of cancer deaths in developing countries appears to parallel the widespread and poorly controlled usage of herbicides and insecticides in those countries. This includes the use of many chemicals which have been banned in the developed nations because of their toxic and carcinogenic properties. Surely to someone of Professor Lowenthal's expertise it should come as no surprise that if cancer incidence is rising in the developing countries, this may quite well be associated with the uncontrolled use of these known carcinogenic agents.
Professor Lowenthal's suggestion that the World Congress on Cancer is designed to encourage the sale of shark cartilage is insulting, and is typical of the arrogance and prejudice of many orthodox cancer therapists. This is equivalent to suggesting that orthodox practitioners are easily bribed by the advertising strategies of pharmaceutical drug companies, such as by their sponsorship of orthodox cancer congresses. The pharmaceutical industry funds a major portion of cancer research and one wonders about conflict of interest in the researcher's mind.
It should be of interest to your readers to know that the use of shark cartilage in the treatment of cancer has received FDA approval for Phase II human clinical investigation. Surely such a significant decision cannot be seen as a mere indulgence. It should further be noted that Dr William Lane, principal researcher, will be presenting his findings on the use of shark cartilage at this seminar.
I would like to remind Professor Lowenthal that when so-called alternative practitioners reported the beneficial effects on cancer of extracts of yew tree, and periwinkle, that they received the same dismissive response from the medical establishment. Currently there is mounting research evidence of the beneficial effects in cancer therapy of many other herbal preparations and nutrients which Professor Lowenthal so blithely dismisses just as his predecessors have in the past.
The good professor apparently has access to some magical oracle which is able to inform him of the data to be presented at this Congress even before presentation. However, he fails to mention the data of Professors Nordenstrom and Yuling on the successful treatment by electro-chemical means of 2516 cases of cancer.
He also omits the data of Professors Gudov and Kharchenko of the Moscow Scientific Research Institute regarding their use of ferro-magnetic hypothermia techniques in the treatment of 500 cases of cancer.
