۳ This material...as issue Is02...is an attempt to open your eyes on     
۳ suppressed issues within our medical community. We tend to worship our  
۳ doctors as gods who will save us from diseases. If these false gods let 
۳ us down, isn't it then time we ourselves take back the responsibility   
۳ for our lives and well-being? As the public begins to learn of promising
۳ healing technology, they should demand to know why it is being withheld.
۳ Dr Sam Chachoua has developed a safe, effective treatment for healing   
۳ cancer, AIDS and other related terminal illnesses years ago, but medical
۳ authorities ignore his work and try to prevent his treatments & Reseach 
۳ from becoming widely known. If you believe things of this nature doesn't
۳ happen in our society, you are simply misinformed. It is not, nor ever  
۳ will be TEOAS's intentions for the public to believe in any published   
۳ information blindly. Only to open there eyes to some documented fact and
۳ possibly gain enough public interest so more questions are asked and    
۳ there answers demanded. You've seen this phrase so often "Knowledge is  
۳ Power". With knowledge comes a certain responsibility. Knowledge isn't  
۳ Power in itself...Applied knowledge is Power. Lets make it a point and  
۳ goal of our underground culture to distribute suppressed information to 
۳ the public, then let them judge for themselves what the truth is. At    
۳ least develop enough of an interest to start asking the right questions 
۳ to the correct people. Learn and be aware of what goes on in the world  
۳ around you.

۳ Cancer, AIDS, heart disease: three faces of death that devastate so many
۳ lives. Many believe that modern medicine will someday develop effective 
۳ therapies. Those afflicted, their friends, family, lovers, pray that the
۳ breakthroughs will come one day soon.                                   
۳ Imagine that the world was offered new treatments and even real cures.  
۳ Newspaper, television, radio and magazines would carry images of medical
۳ triumph supported not only by hard data but by living, walking, healthy 
۳ miracles. Imagine the impact this gift would have on millions of lives: 
۳ the fulfillment of dreams, the awakening of hope. Try to imagine that   
۳ the announcement was made and the world slept through it. Try to picture
۳ a public reception with indifference and a medical society charged not  
۳ to embrace but to destroy all embers of this success.                   
۳ If the scenario is hard to picture, then don't try to imagine it but try
۳ to remember. It happened. I know. I developed the technology. I made the
۳ announcement.                                                           
۳ I had always known that the medical system would take time to change, to
۳ develop, but I could not have believed that the public announcement     
۳ would fall on the deaf ears of victims, nor that any of my peers would  
۳ challenge me not on the science of my achievements but with baseless    
۳ rumours, lies and personal attacks. I could never have anticipated that 
۳ in answering the dreams of so many, my life would turn into a nightmare.

۳                                                                         
۳ Summer of 1995 was the proudest in my life. Fifteen years of research   
۳ and medical trials had been building up to this one moment: the         
۳ triumphant return to my adopted homeland Australia, and the fulfillment 
۳ of a promise I had made to myself as I watched my father die of cancer  
۳ so many years before.                                                   
۳ Investigating three previously overlooked phenomena-organ resistance,   
۳ organism resistance and spontaneous remission-I had developed effective 
۳ vaccines for the prevention and treatment of many killer diseases. The  
۳ genesis of what I call..."Induced Remission Therapy"...had begun in     
۳ Australia more than a decade earlier, but I had spent five years touring
۳ the world, lecturing and training doctors in hospitals and institutes. I
۳ was returning with independent proof: dramatic and overwhelming evidence
۳ that a new age of health was being ushered in. I was returning home to  
۳ present my discoveries and to fund all research and development in this  
۳ field.                                                                  
۳ Armed with X-rays, blood tests, preliminary data from the Colorado      
۳ University Medical School, UCLA, Cedars Sinai Medical Center and        
۳ undoubtedly the strongest proof: patients in remission from cancer, AIDS
۳ and heart disease-rescued after all other options had been exhausted.    
۳ This should have been the realisation of my life's goals. Via the media,
۳ millions would meet the success stories and hear of my grant offer,     
۳ $100,000 to initiate investigations in Australia of this new therapy.   
۳ Then, suddenly, silence. All research institutes were eligible for the  
۳ $100,000 grant, but none came.                                          
۳ I found myself suddenly in the vacuum of a media blackout. Interviews   
۳ were cancelled, news stories were not run. The public returned to its   
۳ comfortable staple of cancer "breakthroughs" that may come to be in the 
۳ next 10 years, the weekly announcements from the familiar research      
۳ institutes. Soon, to the public, I became a forgotten memory. To other  
۳ interests, however, I was a threat that needed to be destroyed.         
۳ A direct frontal assault on Australian soil was not the way, though. I  
۳ am a medical doctor in Australia; that gives me certain powers and      
۳ rights. I had offered money to have my therapies proved or disproved,   
۳ and I had reached out to the public. Attacking me overtly would have    
۳ raised too many questions. Backed by data from some of the world's most 
۳ prestigious research institutes, I was offering my technology with no   
۳ strings attached.                                                       
۳ Australian Medical Board representatives attempted to chastise me for   
۳ what they believed were obvious lies and deception. They demanded to    
۳ know who had evaluated my data and where. They accused me of falsely    
۳ raising hope in poor, dying individuals. It seemed okay to announce that
۳ you can cure an occasional rat and raise millions in public donations if
۳ you are an institute; however, to say that you can help people and not  
۳ ask for, but offer money to prove your point was not quite the done     
۳ thing. Interestingly, the Medical Board enquiry into my "unprofessional"
۳ behaviour was the first time I had divulged details of the contacts and 
۳ institutes investigating my technology. Incredibly, within days, these  
۳ centres would not only cancel their collaboration with me but also,     
۳ paradoxically, begin to deny that one had ever existed.                 
۳ In the USA and Mexico clinics opened up, offering my therapy but        
۳ delivering heaven-knows-what to unsuspecting patients. I initiated legal
۳ action to shut them down, but then became a victim of intense personal  
۳ and professional attacks as well as physical attempts on my life. I was 
۳ disgusted to learn that members of UCLA and Cedars Sinai took part in my
۳ denigration, but I was in for an even greater shock. When the names of  
۳ individuals from the Australian Medical Board were used against me, I   
۳ asked them to intervene; they would not. It seemed that my own Medical  
۳ Board was supporting the attacks, even if only by inaction.             
۳ What is even more incredible is that amongst all the lies were claims   
۳ that my MB, BS (the Australian medical degree) was not that of a doctor 
۳ but rather of a nurse or undergraduate. In court, American expert       
۳ witnesses testified to that and the Australian Medical Board seemed to  
۳ go along for the ride. Despite incredible resistance and bias, I won the
۳ court battle-but the war to save lives still rages.                     
۳ Unlike stories of conspiracies and cover-ups from long ago, this is     
۳ happening now. I am still alive; the dream need not be lost, then       
۳ mourned. The proof is there if you would only look.                     
۳ I would never have imagined that the hardest part of healing cancer and 
۳ AIDS would be to get people to listen.                                  
۳ This is my story and our dream. Please read; read and remember.         
۳                                                                         
۳                             ACCELERATED DREAMS                          
۳                                                                         
۳ Every child has dreams and aspirations, major contributions to make,    
۳ marks to be left, fame to be found-and what feels like an eternity in   
۳ which to accomplish these objectives. Curing cancer, growing up to be a 
۳ hero, saving mankind-these must be some of the commonest fantasies of   
۳ the young. Impossible tasks seem achievable because there is so much    
۳ time-time to study, time to grow, time to prepare. Time allows for      
۳ attainable fantasies, for pleasant dreams. When time is shortened by age
۳ or situation, when there is a need for rapid realisation of the dream,  
۳ reality destroys fantasies and dreams are either abandoned or are often 
۳ transformed into tangible despair that mourns with its loss by cutting  
۳ harsher than reality ever could.                                        
۳ My father was first diagnosed with cancer in 1975. He was aware of the  
۳ multiple myeloma (a cancer of the bone marrow) several months prior to  
۳ submitting to investigations and therapy. Multiple myeloma at the time  
۳ was treated only when symptomatic, as therapy was felt to decrease      
۳ lifespan, so he felt no rush to confirm his diagnosis.                  
۳ He also felt no rush in informing me of his condition. My brother and   
۳ sister had already entered medical school; I had entered puberty. My    
۳ father worried that the news would devastate me and affect my studies.  
۳ Even when faced with death, his concerns were for my life and future.   
۳ So much changed in the next few years. My father, the workaholic, became
۳ much more the family man; always my hero, now my best friend.           
۳                                                                         
۳                     STEPPING STONES, ALTERED PERCEPTION                 
۳                                                                         
۳ Cancer is a disease that has repeatedly thwarted a cure. To defeat it,  
۳ surely one did not simply need to understand current teachings, one     
۳ needed to excel. Curing cancer, was not within current knowledge,       
۳ therefore one needed not only to master existing technology but to      
۳ surpass it.                                                             
۳ When seen as stepping stones to achieving my dream, teachings were      
۳ devoured. I top-marked in several exams and received the T. F. Ryan     
۳ Roentgen Prize in physics. I tried to apply every new nugget of         
۳ information to my father's situation. Biochemistry taught of new agents 
۳ that could increase the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and  
۳ of cellular toxic agents that were presented in other contexts. Review  
۳ of old and new medical research often showed that these agents had been 
۳ used, and failed to demonstrate efficacy. Chemical therapy of cancer was
۳ receiving such intense worldwide scrutiny that it was virtually         
۳ impossible to generate an original thought or concept from within the   
۳ field.                                                                  
۳ Perhaps the answer then lay in the application of unrelated technology  
۳ to the cancer problem. In physics we were taught that ultrasonic waves  
۳ would have different heating coefficients depending on the density of   
۳ the target; that is, the harder something was, the hotter it would      
۳ become when exposed to ultrasonic frequencies. Cancer was usually denser
۳ than normal tissue, and my father's cancer, being surrounded by bone,   
۳ could be heated up much more so than surrounding soft tissue. Perhaps   
۳ such preferential heat damage could kill the cancer.                    
۳ I approached several cancer researchers. They seemed as excited as I was
۳ but cautioned me to check past publications on the subject. Thirty years
۳ previously, someone had applied that effect to cancer with marginal and 
۳ occasionally harmful responses.                                         
۳ Preferential attacks on cancer were not the answer, perhaps protection  
۳ of normal structures against toxic agents would allow for more savage   
۳ attacks against cancer. I discovered entire fields of science on the    
۳ topic of radioprotective and chemoprotective agents. It was almost      
۳ impossible to generate an original thought within the confines of       
۳ chemotherapy and radiotherapy, yet despite continued failure these      
۳ modalities seemed so powerful, alluring. Cancer was killing my father;  
۳ I wanted to hit back, hard!                                             
۳ Searching for metabolic weaknesses; poisoning some pathway essential to 
۳ cancer but not to normal cells; combining modalitie of chemotherapy with
۳ each other, with radiation, with hormones-everything had previously been
۳ done and had failed.                                                    
۳ Cancer was seen as a disease of excess (too much smoking, radiation,    
۳ pollution etc.); the generation of an evil, foreign life-form which     
۳ battles and invariably destroys its host. Excess must be cut down, taken
۳ away, burned or poisoned. This logic, combined with the frustration and 
۳ hatred generated by this invulnerable nemesis, had locked us into the   
۳ mindset that dominates current therapies-therapies that have failed us  
۳ for so long, yet which we refuse to abandon.                            
۳                                                                         
۳                          STANDARD CONCEPTS OF CANCER                    
۳                                                                         
۳ I would like to outline the concepts that have dominated cancer research
۳ and therapies over the past few decades. Understanding failure is a     
۳ useful tool in attaining success.                                       
۳ By definition, cancer is a rogue cell which multiplies without respect  
۳ for normal systems of cellular control and develops into a mass that    
۳ invades and destroys normal tissue and structures. It is a powerful,    
۳ mindless beast that spreads, grows more rapidly than normal tissue and  
۳ ultimately leads to the death of the host.                              
۳ Cancer growth rate may be slowed or accelerated by a mass variety of    
۳ infections. Even in its natural history, cancer growth is not constant,  
۳ for during the life of the patient the disease often grows in spurts. It
۳ is not uncommon for some cancer metastase to shrink, while most increase
۳ in size.                                                                
۳ Cancer, the "mindless beast", starts in a localised area, invades       
۳ circulatory and lymphatic systems, then spreads throughout the body.    
۳ Certain cancers exhibit specific patterns of spread, long held by       
۳ conventional teachings to be dictated by the pattern of circulatory     
۳ distribution of micro-tumour emboli. This belief furthers the concept   
۳ that cancer is a rampaging monster, cast by chance to spread its deadly 
۳ seeds. Passively carried by blood and lymph to their new targets, cancer
۳ cells are undifferentiated, nonspecific parcels of destruction that care
۳ not where they lodge and are not part of the decision-making process in 
۳ their travels to new organs.                                            
۳                                                                         
۳                       SEARCHING FOR MISSING DEFENCES                    
۳                                                                         
۳ A few observations regarding cancer, its population and age distribution
۳ are cited repeatedly in immunotherapy literature. Essentially, increased
۳ cancer incidence occurs with immunodeficiency and age, particularly past
۳ puberty, also appears to be a promoting factor.                         
۳ If one considers only these observations, one can conclude that after   
۳ puberty theres a loss of some vital immune-protective agent. If only we 
۳ could identify it and replenish it, perhaps we could then triumph over  
۳ this living nightmare.                                                  
۳ The most likely candidate for our source of white blood cells in shining
۳ armour seemed to be the thymus gland, a master immune- cell generator   
۳ which atrophies by early teenage years. Its degeneration seemed to      
۳ correlate with increased appearance of cancer.                          
۳ Therapies have proliferated over the years where part or all of the     
۳ thymus, its products and hormones were used to treat cancer patients.   
۳ Results were marginal to non-existent, yet, of all the borderline       
۳ alternative therapies, thymus supplementation persists most stubbornly. 
۳ Propelled by a romantic notion, hope does not fade-even when it is a    
۳ false hope. This restricted logic may have been sound. Perhaps we had   
۳ fixated on the wrong atrophied organ.                                   
۳                                                                         
۳                              ORGAN RESISTANCE                           
۳                                                                         
۳ A common observation, even in the most advanced of malignancies, is that
۳ some organs and tissues appear resistant to cancer spread and invasion. 
۳ The small intestine not only resist spread but also very rarely develops
۳ primary cancer. Perhaps there is specific immunologic capacity in the   
۳ small intestine that prevents cancer from developing and protects it    
۳ from tumour spread.                                                     
۳ A quick search of anatomy and immunology books revealed that the small  
۳ intestine is blessed with its own immune protection in the form of      
۳ lymphoid aggregates called "Peyer's patches". Much of the function of   
۳ this line of defence is restricted to the small intestine and does not  
۳ circulate. This could account for the cancer resistance being local.    
۳ Studies of lower animals, particularly birds, indicated that their main 
۳ immune-processing organ was not the thymus but was located in their     
۳ embryonic and foetal intestine. Could this part of human immunology have
۳ been delegated an unfairly low status? In the animals, their capacity to
۳ transfer immune resistance to the entire body is optimal early in life. 
۳ What if human correlation exists whereby there is transfer of resistant 
۳ factors between Peyer's patches (and immune responses localised to the  
۳ small intestine in later life) and the rest of the body early in life?  
۳ In view of the logic supporting thymic supplementation and the hope that
۳ restoration of an atrophied organ would destroy disease, there was      
۳ another interesting observation with relation to Peyer's patches.       
۳ Intestinal lymphoid aggregates atrophied with age. We had been so       
۳ obsessed with the thymus that perhaps we overlooked the real saviour.    
۳                                                                         
۳                             THOUGHT TO ACTION                           
۳                                                                         
۳ I had yet to start medical school but spent a good deal of time at the  
۳ Peter McCallum Cancer Institute in Melbourne where my father was        
۳ receiving treatment. He had introduced me to several oncologists and I  
۳ approached them with my ideas. The general response was condescending   
۳ but usually polite. Dr Ian Cooper, chief haematologist, was not only    
۳ supportive but also advised me to formulate my ideas as an experimental 
۳ protocol and present it to Dr Jose of the Immunology Department.        
۳ The reply to my preliminary correspondence was surprisingly encouraging:
۳ I was invited to address the weekly group meeting of the immunology     
۳ research team. I prepared theory, protocol and an experimental design.  
۳ The presentation was informal and pleasant. Researchers from around the 
۳ world had submitted protocols for review by this unit. Immunostimulants,
۳ interferon, interleukin, lymphocyte harvest pre-chemotherapy: the       
۳ suggestions were complicated but the themes familiar. I had heard or    
۳ read about all these concepts before; worse yet, the experiments had    
۳ been done and repeated years previously. I felt encouraged; my protocol 
۳ was the only original idea being presented on that day. Surely a new    
۳ concept would be more appealing to a research unit on the cutting edge  
۳ of technology than simple repetition of prior failures?                 
۳ To demonstrate that Peyer's patches could be stimulated to produce anti-
۳ cancer activity, I proposed that lymphocytes isolated from these        
۳ aggregates be tested against those taken from the spleen and other      
۳ sources for efficacy against cancer. For obvious reasons I chose        
۳ multiple myeloma as the cancer system to attack. An important design    
۳ feature was the testing of ordinary extracts to check for inherent      
۳ activity and the evaluation of lymphocytes exposed to the cancer during 
۳ the animal's life to search for induced activity.                       
۳ I was aware that the members of the unit had not been previously exposed
۳ to this approach; it was new to them. I was also aware that they were   
۳ not in the least interested.                                            
۳ The first question I was asked was by Dr Jose, requesting the sources   
۳ and literature supporting this concept as well as data on previous      
۳ trials and their conclusions on this issue.                             
۳ "This experiment hasn't been done before!" I claimed proudly.           
۳ "But we need to see prior work in this field," he countered. "That is a 
۳  key factor in our accepting experimental protocols!"                   
۳ In that instant, I understood an intrinsic flaw in the cancer research  
۳ industry. In order to realise easy acceptance of ideas and receive      
۳ grants, it was important to show that you were travelling down the same 
۳ well-worn path of prior investigations.                                 
۳ "I don't understand," I replied. "Are you telling me that you won't do  
۳ this because it hasn't been done before?"                               
۳ "It is hard for me to allocate funds to work lacking prior experimental 
۳ and data references." (In essence, he meant "yes".)                     
۳ "We have no cure for cancer; we aren't even close. How will we find it  
۳ if we don't explore new avenues?" I did not mean to sound cocky, but all
۳ of my hope and courage were suddenly dissipating. I was being rejected. 
۳ "We are on a strict budget and have defined guidelines."                
۳ I would not be dismissed; my chance to save my father demanded their    
۳ acceptance.                                                             
۳ "Okay, I'll pay for it!" (The first of many times that this phrase would
۳ pass my lips, and about the only time that I would not regret it.)      
۳ Dr Jose smiled and relented. "We'll see," he said. "Go do an intensive  
۳ literature search; we'll start arranging things next week. Your ideas   
۳ are interesting and worth exploring."                                   
۳ My father, Isaac, was by now confined to a wheelchair and my mother,    
۳ Catherine, catered to his every need and whim. He had been a whirlwind, 
۳ an active workaholic who delighted in helping the ill. Now confined to  
۳ a chair and to bed, he exhibited a spirit and attitude that I have since
۳ come to realise is far from common. Isaac wasted no time cursing his    
۳ debility but would focus on how long he was able to stay in his garden, 
۳ tending to his plants, or on how active and pain-free he could be on a  
۳ particular day.                                                         
۳ That day, my father and mother awaited my return from the conference    
۳ with anticipation. That night, my home was filled with intense happiness
۳ hope and prayer.                                                        
۳                                                                         
۳                               SIMPLE MIRACLES                           
۳                                                                         
۳ The experiment I had proposed was amateurish in its simplicity. The     
۳ small intestine dealt with foreign challenges from ingested food on a   
۳ continuous basis. Mechanisms for immunologically dealing with harmful   
۳ agents had to be dramatic, rapid and effective. Every time an organism  
۳ entered our intestine, we did not have the luxury of mounting a slow    
۳ response with temperature, lethargy and all the normal physiologic and  
۳ metabolic features of an immune response. It had to be eliminated with  
۳ prejudice and finality.                                                 
۳ Neighbourhood lymphocytes in the blood and other organs would never meet
۳ such overwhelming numbers of challenges, as several barriers needed to  
۳ be passed first.... their response therefore could afford to be more    
۳ delayed. Immune cells from respiratory passages would also be expected  
۳ to act rapidly, but they did not appear resistant to the spread and     
۳ appearance of cancer. Peyer's patches would protect the small intestine 
۳ against direct invasion from the large bowel cancers as well as blood-  
۳ borne metastases. I reasoned that their cancer-killing ability should   
۳ be visible within minutes.                                               
۳ Others in the laboratory were sceptical, and with reason. Data repeated 
۳ from decades of studies indicated that it would take the incubation of  
۳ 50,000 to 100,000 white blood cells for three days with cancer cells    
۳ and immunostimulants for some of these cells to kill one cancer cell.   
۳ The effect was often so subtle that radio-uptake and leakage studies    
۳ had to be undertaken to detect differences. This involved incubating    
۳ cancer cells with radioactive isotopes of an agent such as caesium, to  
۳ allow the cancer cells to absorb it. When damaged, cancer cells would   
۳ then leak the radioactive caesium and that leakage can be measured to   
۳ indicate cell damage. I reasoned that the effect would be easily seen   
۳ on light microscopy with oesin uptake. This technique is one where a    
۳ red dye is added to the cells. Living cells have an active pump system  
۳ and patent membranes that stop dye entry, whereas damaged and dying     
۳ cells would be coloured by the oesin.                                   
۳ Control studies using cells from Peyer's patches that had not been      
۳ exposed to cancer, showed cancer viability close to 95 per cent. Spleen 
۳ cells from unexposed animals did the same. Spleen cells from animals    
۳ that had been carrying the cancer gave me a surprising finding of 100   
۳ per cent viability of cancer and an actual increase in cancer count     
۳ after short-term incubation. It appeared that spleen extract from a     
۳ diseased animal was actually promoting tumour growth. I did not pay much
۳ attention to that finding at the time; I was searching for a cure, not  
۳ riddles.                                                                
۳ Cells from Peyer's patches of mice that had been carrying the cancer    
۳ surpassed my expectations. As opposed to the 50,000 to 100,000 cells    
۳ destroying one cancer cell as previously mentioned over a three-day     
۳ period, it took one lymphocyte from sensitised aggregates to kill 400   
۳ cancer cells in a one-hour-or-less time period. The cancer cells would  
۳ uptake the red oesin dye and soon collapse.                             
۳ The experiment would be repeated over and over before I would let myself
۳ believe it, before I would show others. Exposed to a very small amount  
۳ of Peyer's patch extracts, the cancer cells would turn red with         
۳ embarrassment, then shrivel and die. Mass slaughter of an invulnerable  
۳ enemy-it was intoxicating and delicious.                                
۳ I beckoned for Dr Jose to review the carnage. With just a hint of       
۳ excitement he exclaimed, "They're all dead!" He then added in standard  
۳ clinical "Vulcan" coldness: "Interesting."                              
۳ The following weeks were filled with more magic. Tests confirmed no     
۳ toxicity to healthy cells from my lymphocyte extracts. They were able to
۳ protect animals against cancer inoculations, and single low-dose        
۳ treatment was able to keep the animals living longer once they had the  
۳ disease. Other cancer systems were tested, including the hepatoma rat   
۳ model, with identical successes.                                        
۳                                                                         
۳                             FADING DREAMS                               
۳                                                                         
۳ I asked when this discovery could be put to use in terminally-ill       
۳ humans. "Not for a long, long time," I was told condescendingly.        
۳ None of my colleagues or superiors in the laboratory seemed to share my 
۳ excitement; worse yet, they seemed to resent my success-and me, too, for
۳ that matter. Perhaps their egos were bruised. I was often reminded that 
۳ I had no formal training or education in the field, whereas they had    
۳ Hospital) and the Ludwig Institute became more and more isolated.       
۳ Other affiliates and collaborators who had donated animals and lab space
۳ to me included the Department of Biochemistry at Melbourne University.  
۳ Dr Schreiber, the department head, called me in to advise me personally 
۳ that in the few days I had been there I had created friction as I was   
۳ not qualified, paid or a member of their 'group' and that structurally  
۳ they could not support another worker. I had not fought with anybody,   
۳ or argued or insulted anyone. I was unpaid and, above all, my work was  
۳ yielding incredible results. How could they terminate investigation on  
۳ such a promising avenue? These extracts were killing cancer more        
۳ effectively and more safely than anything else in history! "It doesn't  
۳ matter," Dr Schreiber replied.                                          
۳ Dr Jose reminded me that publication was the only way for a scientist   
۳ to achieve recognition, and offered me a poster presentation at the     
۳ Clinical Oncology Society of Australia (COSA) annual meeting in 1981.   
۳ Hopes rekindled; I prepared for the big time. Perhaps amongst doctors,  
۳ the idea of an effective therapy would be better received than in the   
۳ sterile field of research.                                              
۳ A few months later I was standing proudly by my poster; the youngest-   
۳ ever presenter of an original project at the prestigious COSA meeting.  
۳ Few people stopped by my exhibit and most did so only to advise me to   
۳ leave research and concentrate on my medical studies. I was simply too  
۳ young and nave, they said. "What about the work?" I asked. "Interesting
۳ ," they replied, and moved on.                                          
۳ Most people spent their time around a diagnostic antibody exhibit. The  
۳ attractive researcher's mini-skirt and plunging neckline were also on   
۳ exhibit. Hell, even I found myself distracted by her monoclonals!       
۳ I had come with aspirations of recognition, of encountering someone who 
۳ would carry the investigation where I could not: in the human field. If 
۳ I had harboured any illusions of discovery, fame or acceptance, they    
۳ were quickly shattered. Scientists and doctors alike had greeted me and 
۳ my discoveries with the same warmth one reserves for an acute attack of 
۳ haemorrhoids or outbreak of herpes.                                     
۳ While I found the displays worthwhile, the conferences themselves were  
۳ electrifying. I learned of new techniques being used and the latest     
۳ trials of hormonal agents, immunostimulants and chemotherapy.           
۳ Immunotherapy remained an exciting field, whereas the latest            
۳ chemotherapy evaluations were delivered in gritty, realistic and        
۳ defeatist manner. Hormones were finding increasing application in       
۳ general disease management. Bone damage and pain in cancer such as      
۳ multiple myeloma were shown to be preventable and treatable with        
۳ anabolic hormones. Just that tidbit of information was worthwhile. It   
۳ represented a concrete, usable way to help my father.                   
۳ During the presentations I was to strike a friendship with an oncologist
۳ who would later do his best to destroy me. It would be a recurring theme
۳ of my life. My greatest enemies would always start as respected friends.
۳ When I suggested to my father's oncologist that anabolic hormones be    
۳ added to strengthen his bones and diminish his pain, he became annoyed. 
۳ I had stepped on his toes by daring to suggest a therapy. Had I hurt his
۳ ego? Was there a better way to ask him? Who cares? I just wanted the    
۳ best for my father. He refused to recommend it and my father refused to 
۳ try anything his specialist did not recommend.                          
۳ In one presentation I managed to offend my father's doctor and be       
۳ ignored by virtually all others. I had presented a technology for curing
۳ cancer, and no one cared.                                               
۳                                                                         
۳                       EGOS AND LIES IN THE HEALING ARTS                 
۳                                                                         
۳ One of modern medicine's greatest achievements is the claim that no one 
۳ needs to suffer, for there is supposedly no pain that cannot be elimin- 
۳ ated by modern pharmaceuticals. That is perhaps true even in severe     
۳ terminal pain, if one does not mind existing instead of living; existing
۳ with clouded perceptions, blunted emotions, a drug-induced stupor; a    
۳ waking coma where you struggle to comprehend the world racing around    
۳ you, where you try to communicate but mouth gibberish, where you dig    
۳ deep, searching for the spark, the joy, the will to continue but find   
۳ not even a memory of it.                                                
۳ This desperation, this depression, this torment, this torture is often  
۳ the price paid for physical comfort. "We can prevent suffering in       
۳ terminal disease" is a statement often made by a medical fool more      
۳ concerned with perpetuating and reaffirming his illusions of godhood    
۳ without any regard for reality.                                         
۳ Cancer is nothing if not relentless. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy had  
۳ failed to arrest the progress of my father's disease. As the multiple   
۳ myeloma spread its physical domination, shattered my father's skeleton  
۳ and destroyed his immune function, fractures, recurrent infections and  
۳ pain, constant pain, became features of his life. As he lay bedridden   
۳ with bone compression, multiple rib breaks and a disintegrating pelvis, 
۳ my father refused painkillers except at night so that he could sleep.   
۳ He would not permit any loss of mental clarity during his waking hours: 
۳ time was short and he wanted to live it, experience it fully. With his  
۳ body deteriorating, his mind remained the only undesecrated sanctuary,  
۳ haven, drive to continue. He would not allow this most cherished        
۳ possession to be tainted; he would not allow his loved ones to see him  
۳ as anything less than the best he could be.                             
۳ I was beginning to have major problems at medical school. I could not   
۳ see the relevance of many topics, nor fathom the time-wasting techniques
۳ in teaching other subjects. We learned, for example, how to launch a    
۳ projectile into orbit around Jupiter (useful knowledge if your practice 
۳ caters for outer-space aliens and you wish to post them a prescription; 
۳ of course that would necessitate a pharmacy on Uranus, which could prove
۳ uncomfortable). Plutonium purification in the manufacture of nuclear    
۳ warheads was another priceless inclusion in our study of the healing    
۳ arts. Important topics were noted by their absence. Preventive medicine 
۳ was never discussed. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, when I undertook
۳ my formal medical studies-diet and nutrition were considered alternative
۳ heresy.                                                                 
۳ The study of anatomy was done in a particularly inefficient manner. We  
۳ were given cadavers to dissect for two years. A group of eight students 
۳ would spend hours, scalpels in hand, digging at a corpse, hoping to find
۳ and trace nerves and arteries to their origins and distributions. Dead  
۳ bodies do not handle the same as living tissue, and rarely look the same
۳ as in book illustrations. I studied my anatomy from a book. Much more   
۳ could have been learned had each group been assigned one person who was 
۳ well-trained and who could have guided and educated us. My memories of  
۳ these sessions are ones of the stench of formalin, of a student eating  
۳ someone's biceps on a dare, and of others skipping rope using a corpse's
۳ small intestine or playing football with a hardened lung. This abhorrent
۳ lack of respect for men and women who had donated their bodies to       
۳ science and medicine sickened me.                                       
۳                                                                         
۳                 MEDICAL RESEARCH: STAGNANT, DIRECTIONLESS               
۳                                                                         
۳ In this era of genetic engineering and daily promises of medical marvels
۳ it is hard to imagine a period where innovative thought seemed to be at 
۳ a standstill; yet back then, as now, in the playing fields of clinical  
۳ trials, one finds some variations of intricate protocols and slight     
۳ modifications of some rules and tools to search for slightly improved   
۳ responses from the same tired players: surgery, radiation and           
۳ chemotherapy. This points to the stagnant nature of real options        
۳ available to the public.                                                
۳ As a medical student, I was now becoming exposed to rigid, inhumane     
۳ insanity often associated with clinical trials and questionable measures
۳ of success. Only in cancer, for example, would a chemotherapeutic agent 
۳ being evaluated be considered a success if it shrank a cancer mass, even
۳ if it shortened patient survival.                                       
۳ Decades ago hospitals had carried out unethical and repulsive procedures
۳ in the name of science. Pregnant women were injected with high doses of 
۳ radioactive isotopes to gauge the effect on embryos; prisoners'         
۳ testicles were irradiated to study changes; relatives were inoculated   
۳ with patients' cancers to study their response (at least one case of    
۳ cancer transfer and death of a patient's mother occurred).              
۳ Modern-day inhumanity was present, but not quite as overt. It lay in    
۳ protocol objectives and structures.                                     
۳ I remember the case of a patient, a 22-year-old mother, who entered a   
۳ monitored trial situation where she was slotted into the hormone-blocker
۳ evaluation group. This breast cancer study was designed to evaluate     
۳ survival with various treatment options: surgery alone (localised),     
۳ surgery alone (extensive), with radiation, with chemotherapy, with      
۳ hormonal blocker therapy, with combinations of the preceding.           
۳ This data had already been gathered to reasonable precision from studies
۳ too numerous to mention worldwide, and with certain guidelines for      
۳ combinations had been enforced for many years. This particular design   
۳ protocol did not allow for such flexibility. How could we achieve       
۳ accurate readings if we contaminated one group with the therapy of      
۳ another group?                                                          
۳ The cruelty of the last statement could be seen in the plight of the    
۳ patient referred to above. Having been assigned to the hormone group,   
۳ other therapy was withheld-even when it became obvious that it was not  
۳ working, and spreading cancer had broken several bones in her spine.    
۳ (This was not an unusual occurrence in breast cancer. The standard      
۳ therapy of the time, which remains to this day, is the use of radiation 
۳ to allow for fracture-healing and to resolve the associated pain. This  
۳ was denied her; actually, never offered, for the 'sake' of the trial.)  
۳ The insanity of this situation must be restated: this trial was         
۳ confirming many others which had already outlined the relative merits   
۳ of therapy. Why this theme of repetitive rediscovery of the known,      
۳ regardless of human consequence? Because it gives the illusion of work, 
۳ progress and motion in a stagnant cesspit of medical impotence.         
۳ In Australia, the natural health revolution had only just begun and was 
۳ struggling for acceptance. The adamant claims of this new field of      
۳ medicine were both inspiring and confusing. The response from all the   
۳ conventional medicine was cutting. Alternative medicine was deemed      
۳ fraudulent and rejected outright, its practitioners shunned and         
۳ persecuted. Disgrace and deregistration awaited doctors who preached or 
۳ practised its beliefs.                                                  
۳ Supporters of this emerging field dealt in an inexact science, yet the  
۳ detractors refused to carry out investigations to disprove the claims   
۳ of alternative medicine. What resulted was a slinging match with a      
۳ confused public as the victim. Patients were often punished if they saw 
۳ a naturopath or asked a doctor advice on supplements; they would be     
۳ treated curtly, and it was not unusual for the doctor to refuse their   
۳ ongoing care. New options had been thrust onto patients, yet proof of   
۳ efficacy was as lacking as proof of inefficacy.                         
۳ My mother and I had been searching constantly for anything in research, 
۳ folklore or overseas programs. The sudden influx of claims from natural 
۳ medicine brought a range of new modalities to try: mind power, herbs,   
۳ vitamins, vegetarianism, macrobiotics. My father tried them all, to no   
۳ avail.                                                                  
۳ Fasting, juices, meditation, simple do-it-yourself techniques with a    
۳ universal appeal could restore a person's capacity to help themselves   
۳ against a condition so foreign, so overwhelming that grown adults would 
۳ revert to child-like dependency on their doctors. Even if only of       
۳ marginal efficacy in the physical long-run, the psychological advantage 
۳ of regaining some measure of control of one's life was a feature        
۳ conventional medicine could not compete with. There was also a link that
۳ had only been hinted at previously. Alternative medicine heavily        
۳ promoted the concept that proper activation of immune function could    
۳ eliminate cancer-again, an empowering concept.                          
۳ Perhaps in an effort to compete with the new challenger, or perhaps     
۳ finally disgusted with the toxic failures called "standard therapy",    
۳ the powers-that-be launched a major thrust into immunotherapy. I was    
۳ part of the "IF" generation. Conventional medicine brought out a new    
۳ warrior, an immunostimulant called "interferon"-the "IF" drug. I cannot 
۳ claim to know or understand what changes the emphasis of investigative  
۳ pathways in modern medicine, only to say that the industry is           
۳ particularly well tuned to public views and needs. In the 1970s it was  
۳ immune function, so interferon and interleukin occupied the forefront   
۳ of research for a decade or so. In the 1980s the public cried out for   
۳ natural medicine, so Taxol, a natural extract, was released.            
۳ If the above passage alluded to a sinister, manipulative arm to the     
۳ industry, it is because I believe it to be inherent in this field.      
۳ Interferon, hailed as the new champion in the 1970s, had actually been  
۳ discovered at least 50 years previously and then shelved. Why turn to   
۳ it now unless the above were true? Public manipulation and public       
۳ gullibility are extreme in many areas; cancer, however, leads the       
۳ field.                                                                  
۳                               STOLEN HOPE                               
۳                                                                         
۳ The interferon onslaught was savage. Newspapers, magazines, television  
۳ and radio programs were at saturation levels with details of miraculous 
۳ cures. Like a well-oiled machine, the Cancer Institute announced it     
۳ would commence interferon trials; then... soon after... hospital        
۳ fundraising events were commenced. This '''dance''' of announcing       
۳ breakthroughs, then a program for implementation followed by appeals    
۳ for public donation, was monotonous and obvious, year after year.       
۳ Many controversial figures have been accused of preying on desperate    
۳ victims and profiting from false hope. With decades of failure behind   
۳ them but excellent marketing and publicity, with daily announcements of 
۳ breakthroughs and assurances of imminent success, with billions raised  
۳ within this format, could the cancer industry not also be accused of the
۳ same? Yesterday's heroes fade into oblivion and new hopeful contenders  
۳ are found to blaze in glory for a time, then fail. They may fail in     
۳ living up to therapeutic expectation but always succeed in maintaining  
۳ the illusion of dynamic progress and in raising phenomenal income.      
۳ Interferon was showing initial remarkable activity in several cancer    
۳ types; most importantly, and repeatedly, cases of advanced multiple     
۳ myeloma were shown recovering with this new therapy. My father's        
۳ hospital had announced that it would investigate its efficacy in the    
۳ treatment of multiple myeloma. A dream come true, a hope reignited!     
۳ Institute and was on first-name basis with most of the specialists      
۳ there. He was also one of few long-term survivors of multiple myeloma   
۳ at that hospital, so surely he would be one of those enrolled in the    
۳ trial now that all other therapies were failing him.                    
۳ Reality hardly ever fulfils all your dreams and prayers. It is also not 
۳ usually as needlessly cruel as it was to my father. Following months of 
۳ anticipation and planning into what had seemed a bleak future, we       
۳ awaited notification of the interferon trial. My father was not         
۳ accepted.                                                               
۳ In medical trials, patient selection is very often optimised for        
۳ demonstrating good results. The healthier the patient, the more likely  
۳ they are to survive the trial (no point investing in someone who may    
۳ die prior to accumulation of data), and the more likely they are to make
۳ the product look good. My father was a risk. Death loomed closer; cancer
۳ laughed and marched on, its progress accelerated by a weary body and    
۳ a spirit shattered not by disease but by hope that was taken away.      
۳                                                                         
۳                             Part II-Lecture                             
۳                                                                         
۳ My name is Sam Chachoua and I'm an MD from Melbourne, Australia. What   
۳ I'm going to talk to you about now is something quite new and           
۳ revolutionary. It's called Induced Remission Therapy and it's a         
۳ treatment that is based on three natural phenomena: organ resistance,   
۳ organism resistance, and spontaneous remission.                         
۳ I first got into cancer research at an early age when my father was     
۳ diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I basically tried to see whether   
۳ I could find something that could help him where conventional therapies 
۳ were failing. One thing that I noted in all the studies I had was that  
۳ there are parts of the human body-for example, the small intestine-which
۳ are consistently resistant to cancer. Regardless of how far and wide    
۳ cancer usually spreads, it usually leaves the small intestine alone.    
۳ There's also something known as "organism resistance", which means that 
۳ most other animals that we try to give human cancer to are able to      
۳ reject it. So I set about designing an experimental protocol where I was
۳ going to find out what it was about the small intestine that made it    
۳ resistant to cancer, and I was going to find out what it was about      
۳ horses, cats and dogs and other animals that made them resistant to     
۳ human cancer.                                                           
۳ To cut a long story short, I managed to isolate the immunological       
۳ factors which I used in experimental protocols at the Peter McCallum    
۳ Cancer Institute. At age 18 I'd written my first paper, and the         
۳ following year I presented it before the Clinical Oncology Society of   
۳ Australia. Let me tell you, I was pretty proud of myself. I thought:    
۳ "Kid, you've got it made; you've helped your dad now, and this therapy  
۳ is going to be adopted soon." And I could just see it. I was going to   
۳ walk into the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia. Everybody's going 
۳ to cheer and get on the phone and say: "Hey, we've got a young kid here;
۳ give me the Nobel Committee." Nave! I was actually greeted with all the
۳ warmth one usually reserves for a venereal disease or an acute attack of
۳ haemorrhoids!                                                           
۳ Let me just jump to how this form of therapy can apply to AIDS. We've   
۳ known for a very long time that it's impossible to give animals AIDS by 
۳ injecting them with HIV. Now there are two possibilities: either animals
۳ are inherently resistant, i.e., they don't have receptor sites for HIV; 
۳ or maybe, just maybe, they have an immune system which is capable of    
۳ fighting and destroying the virus. Well, hey, let's check it out!       
۳ So the initial data all showed promise that you could raise an immune   
۳ response out of a horse, for example, that would selectively destroy    
۳ HIV. What intrigued and amazed me was seeing the thought processes or,  
۳ rather, not being able to see the thought processes in the AIDS         
۳ researchers who for years now have tried to find some way of developing 
۳ an immune system resistant to AIDS. They sit there and say: "Well, we   
۳ need to make an animal model. Once we have an animal model, once we've  
۳ made an animal sick with AIDS we can find a way to cure it." So they get
۳ their little test animals; they get their rats, their dogs, their horses
۳ and cats; they inject them with HIV-and they can't give them AIDS! They 
۳ get really upset about that: "How am I supposed to find a cure for AIDS 
۳ if I can't give this animal AIDS? I'm injecting it with HIV to try to   
۳ find an immune response that will kill HIV, and it won't take it. How   
۳ am I supposed to do my job?" Are you following the thought pattern      
۳ here? It's looking right at them.                                       
۳ It would seem a bit of an anticlimax if I were to tell you that one of  
۳ the easiest ways to deal with the greatest plague today is to use an    
۳ animal system that's resistant to the plague, and treat and cure the    
۳ people suffering from the disease. A hundred years ago, before we had   
۳ antibiotics, the only therapy we had for pneumonia, smallpox and polio  
۳ was horse serum. They'd get a horse, shoot it with a disease, draw the  
۳ horse serum out, shoot that into the person and cure them. If that      
۳ therapy was good enough to deal with the plagues a hundred years ago,   
۳ why isn't it being applied now?                                         
۳ But what happens if you do apply it now? Here's the case of a young man 
۳ with AIDS. He's 32 years old. He's got a pneumocystis pneumonia, he's   
۳ short of breath, he's got a T-cell count of 80 and a T4/T8 imbalance.   
۳ So, essentially, his blood, his virus, is extracted out; an animal, such
۳ as a horse, is vaccinated with his blood; the antiserum from the animal 
۳ is then purified against this patient's blood so it doesn't cause       
۳ allergic reactions; and the patient is treated with the horse's serum.  
۳ And we see that within 24 hours, the pneumocystis pneumonia clears up.  
۳ That's pretty remarkable considering that the best that antibiotics can 
۳ do, if they can clear it, is take days to weeks. This patient's symptoms
۳ resolved; his T-cell count went up to 780 within 10 days from a low of  
۳ 80, and his T4/T8 ratio became normal.                                  
۳ Now what I've just told you is pretty dramatic, but doesn't it make some
۳ sense to you? Isn't it common sense? We have a disease that can ravage  
۳ our immune systems but can't ravage a horse's, can't ravage another     
۳ disease?                                                                
۳ So, off I went to the big hospitals in the US, and I said, "Hey, guys,  
۳ look at this!" I showed them the case study and the patient I brought   
۳ with me. I showed them 'befores' and 'afters' which were done on US     
۳ soil, and they said: "Inject a person with horse serum? Are you insane? 
۳ We'd never do that."                                                    
۳ A few months later, some of the people whom I was speaking to from a    
۳ related centre-friends of theirs, actually-came out with the            
۳ announcement that they're going to give a baboon's bone marrow to an    
۳ AIDS patient because baboons are resistant to HIV!                      
۳ At that stage, feeling dejected and rather silly, I set about trying to 
۳ investigate as much in the way of alternative therapy and conventional  
۳ therapy as I could-and believe me, I investigated just about everything,
۳ down to laughter therapy!                                               
۳ Now one thing that really struck me very quickly on in the piece when I 
۳ was reviewing all the alternative, natural and conventional therapies   
۳ is that there are two misnomers that exist in this world. One of them   
۳ is "natural therapy".                                                   
۳ Please, don't take me the wrong way. There's a lot of good in           
۳ alternative therapy, there's a lot of good in vitamins and diet, but    
۳ what on Earth is natural about shoving 50,000 units of vitamin C        
۳ intravenously? What's natural about injecting ozone into somebody's     
۳ backside? What's natural about cappuccino enemas?                       
۳ The other great misnomer in the medical field of conventional therapy   
۳ are the terms "radiotherapy" and "chemotherapy". How the world "chemo"  
۳ ever got side by side with the word "therapy" is beyond me. Never before
۳ has a therapy repeatedly failed for 80 years, caused the most hideous   
۳ side effects known to man, and continued to prosper and flourish. It    
۳ amazes me that chemotherapy has spread its wings without people knowing.
۳ For example, how many people know that the commonest therapy for        
۳ aggressive psoriasis these days is chemotherapy? Teenagers and people of
۳ child-bearing age will go to the doctor, and their doctor will say:     
۳ "I'll give you a folic acid antagonist called Methotrexate." You see,   
۳ "folic acid antagonist" sounds better than "chemotherapy", doesn't it,  
۳ but it's chemo. These kids are swallowing poison, and they and their    
۳ kids will suffer the consequences.                                      
۳ Did you hear about the latest breakthrough, a new form of contraception 
۳ that's now on the market? It's a one-shot abortion injection. Well, the 
۳ abortion injection is a folic acid antagonist. It's chemotherapy.       
۳ Let's be blunt about something. Alternative therapy is great, and we can
۳ probably extend and improve the quality of life of people who are ill,  
۳ and, heaven knows, we can prevent a lot of diseases from happening; but 
۳ when you cut down to the chase, conventional therapy and alternative    
۳ therapy are joined by one thing.                                        
۳ Over the past hundred years in the war against cancer, we've failed     
۳ abysmally. Let's be frank here: if a hundred people were to do the most 
۳ arduous alternative therapy available, we would not cure a hundred      
۳ cancer patients; we would not cure a hundred AIDS patients.             
۳ There are only three reasons why we're failing in our war. One large    
۳ possibility is that the weaponry isn't powerful enough. Now, in         
۳ chemotherapy and radiotherapy we have weaponry that can cremate a       
۳ person! So, it can't be that one; rule that one out. The second         
۳ possibility is that the target is invisible. Now we know that to be     
۳ true; we know that cancer cells are immunologically invisible. The third
۳ possibility is that there's another target.                             
۳ The one thing I found depressing about alternative and conventional     
۳ therapy is that they both totally ignored the phenomenon of "spontaneous
۳ remission" which is perhaps the most natural phenomenon which repeatedly
۳ tells us how to cure terminal disease. "Spontaneous remission" is a term
۳ given to miraculous healings, where people on their death bed 'rise from
۳ the dead' within two to three days without a trace of their disease.    
۳ It's a phenomenon that's been reported in the literature but hardly ever
۳ investigated.                                                           
۳ The data on spontaneous remission strongly suggest that just before a   
۳ person with cancer, heart disease, arthritis or any of the other        
۳ terminal diseases has a spontaneous remission or a cure of their        
۳ disease, they suffer what seems to be a viral or bacterial or some form 
۳ of severe infection.                                                    
۳ This was noticed by a Dr Didot, in France, who noted that the existence 
۳ of syphilis precluded the appearance of cancer. If prostitutes had      
۳ syphilis, they were very unlikely to develop cancer. This doctor        
۳ actually treated 20 cancer patients with syphilis and, of those 20, 14  
۳ went into total remission. As the syphilis grew, it munched up the      
۳ cancer; the cancer went away. Another three patients did pretty well,   
۳ and a couple of them died of the syphilis. But this was a few hundred   
۳ years ago, and given the choice between "the Big C" and "the Big S"-well
۳ , today we can cure syphilis with a couple of shots of penicillin, or so
۳ I've been told!                                                         
۳ Late last century, Dr William Coley had a patient who had bone cancer   
۳ and developed a severe syphilis or skin infection. As the skin infection
۳ grew, it munched on the bone cancer and the bone cancer disappeared. Dr 
۳ Coley went on to develop what he called "Coley's toxins" and used them  
۳ for many years as a therapy that got quite good results.                
۳ The trouble here is that Dr Coley succumbed to what I call "macho       
۳ medicine". The infection he isolated from the patient, and which cured  
۳ the patient, had remarkable successes in subsequent patients treated    
۳ with the same infection, but he wasn't happy with that. Coley wanted    
۳ something that would do better, so he found a more toxic infection.     
۳ Instead of using the specific Streptococcus strain which he'd isolated  
۳ from the patient, he found a Streptococcus that kills people, reasoning 
۳ that it's more toxic, therefore it will kill more cancer, and therefore 
۳ the chances of cure are better.                                         
۳ It's been long known that in areas where malaria exists, there's no     
۳ cancer; and when you get rid of malaria, drain the swamps, kill the     
۳ mosquitoes, the cancer rate rises. People who have cancer and who catch 
۳ malaria have a chance of going into remission. Just recently, Dr Henry  
۳ Heimlich [who developed the Heimlich manoeuvre for preventing choking]  
۳ injected a few AIDS patients with malaria and managed to get them into  
۳ some form of remission where they improved and stayed stable at the     
۳ improved level.                                                         
۳ All these observations led me to come up with something I call "nemesis 
۳ theory", which states that for every disease there's an antidisease     
۳ organism which will specifically attack and destroy it.                 
۳ This then led to the development of "nemesis therapy", where I make     
۳ extracts of these "nemesis organisms" with which to treat specific      
۳ diseases.                                                               
۳ And how do you find nemesis organisms? Well, you look around. Where     
۳ there's a disease and there's less of another disease, the chances are  
۳ that they're antagonistic to each other. Or, you work on basic levels,  
۳ as I like to do, and do test after test after test to check.            
۳ What I did in the laboratory was get thousands of bottles and place     
۳ leukaemia lymph node tumour biopsies in them. Each bottle had a         
۳ particular organism growing inside it. The one with affinity for the    
۳ cancer actually grabbed hold of the cancer and ate it. This protein     
۳ 'web'-actually, a fungus-shot up and encapsulated the tumour. Within a  
۳ few days, there was a little bit of the cancer left. A couple of weeks  
۳ later, no cancer-just the fungus!                                       
۳ So what this does is it gives us this new therapeutic modality. This    
۳ nemesis organism can now give us highly specific chemicals that it used 
۳ to kill the cancer, but which can be made so they do not attack any     
۳ other sort of tissue. Two, it can give us tagging complexes which stick 
۳ to the outside of the cancer and make the cancer highly visible to the  
۳ immune system. And three, it can give us a complete range of digestive  
۳ enzymes which are specific for digesting the cancer and the cancer      
۳ alone. So this little baby not just kills the disease, it also cleans up
۳ after itself!                                                           
۳ With use of the tagging system, if the immune system looks at this      
۳ fibrillary network of protein stuck onto the outside of the cancer, it  
۳ doesn't see cancer; it sees a bug and it wants to go after the bug. Now,
۳ you don't inject the bug; you purify the protein extract that sticks to 
۳ the cancer and you inject that. That then sticks to the cancer in the   
۳ body. The body can then see it and recognise it because it's tagged with
۳ bacterial, fungal or viral protein.                                     
۳ You and I have no trouble getting rid of a cough or a cold in a week or 
۳ two. We can get rid of cancer: make the cancer look like a cough or a   
۳ cold by sticking cough or cold particles on it, and the body will attack
۳ it, destroy it and remove it.                                           
۳ However, there were instances where patients had a regression several   
۳ months or years after treatment of their tumours with a tagging complex.
۳ This suggested that tagging the cancer was not the be-all and end-all,  
۳ that tagging the cancer cell still didn't cure cancer the disease. There
۳ was another factor at work.                                             
۳ An interesting observation was made about 20 years ago when leukaemia   
۳ patients were treated by wiping out their bone marrow and then giving   
۳ them somebody else's bone marrow. It was found that the leukaemia would 
۳ invariably recur. And you know how they say how cancer comes back? Well,
۳ the doctor says: "Sorry, Mr Jones; it seems that when I was operating   
۳ on you and I was giving you the chemo and the radio, one cell spilt, and
۳ this one cell hid and then went all over the place and grew again-just  
۳ this one cell, the spilt cell." One cell or a few cells get loose and   
۳ the disease comes back. This may account for some of the cancer         
۳ recurrences, but to try to explain all cancer recurrences that way, the 
۳ medical term for that is "crap"!                                        
۳ What we know from those leukaemia trials is that they wiped out the     
۳ patient's bone marrow. There was nothing left! They gave him someone    
۳ else's bone marrow. Six months later, the leukaemia came back. Now, if  
۳ it was a leftover cell, then when you check that leukaemia cell you     
۳ should find that it's the same as the leukaemia you treated before the  
۳ patient went into remission, true? It should be the same cell come back.
۳ However, when they ran DNA checks, they found that not only wasn't it   
۳ the same cell, but it belonged to the donor. It was the donor's bone    
۳ marrow that had turned into leukaemia cells!                            
۳ This finding has been published in the conventional medical literature, 
۳ and it means that cancer the disease is not cancer the cell. There is   
۳ something in the body of a patient which regenerates and augments cancer
۳ , the cancer cell. And if you don't address that, then you won't get rid
۳ of the disease.                                                         
۳ So there I was, with all these little bottles, cooking up these nemesis 
۳ organisms and tagging them, but something kept showing up over and over 
۳ and over again which was driving me nuts. I would incubate the cancer   
۳ with another organism-say, an E. coli-and I'd find other organisms      
۳ growing when the cancer cells died, that I hadn't put in there. They    
۳ would usually be staphylococcal or streptococcal in appearance. Acid-   
۳ fast bacilli sometimes would show up, depending on what culture medium  
۳ was used and for how long I cultured them.                              
۳ Now this is really interesting. What you notice is what some people     
۳ would call "pleomorphism" in progress. A couple of elements would       
۳ develop these elongated rodlike structures, and you could actually see  
۳ a coccal form changing into a rodlike form. Pleomorphism in action.     
۳ I went to my colleagues and said: "Look, why do I keep getting these    
۳ bugs? It's a sterile cancer I'm putting into the bottle, for goodness   
۳ sake. I'm incubating with something completely different, and these bugs
۳ keep showing up." And they said: "Well, Sam, you know what you're like. 
۳ You probably sneezed and contaminated the whole lot!" Then I said: "It's
۳ happened over and over and over again. So it's contamination?" "Yes,    
۳ yes, absolutely."                                                       
۳ A hundred years ago, everybody blamed this contamination as the cause of
۳ cancer. I have the literature. There were thousands of articles written 
۳ on bacteria-bacterial and fungal organisms-being the cause of cancer.    
۳ But, as technology gets more and more advanced, we have to reject what's
۳ obvious; and when we reject what's obvious, the truth becomes very hard 
۳ to find.                                                                
۳ So how could I prove to these people that these organisms are actually  
۳ intricately involved in the cancer process or in the AIDS process?      
۳ The first thing to do is to grow a bunch of them out of some cancer     
۳ cells, inject them into a few animals and see how many animals get      
۳ cancer-and a lot of them do. Because the bug does not kill the animal,  
۳ the animal develops cancer. In a strange way, it actually appears that  
۳ developing the cancer makes the animal live longer.                     
۳ Now, let me warp your minds a little bit here. Believe me, what I'm     
۳ about to say to you is just a theory, and it has no bearing at all on   
۳ the efficacy of the therapy, but what if these bugs can't entice an     
۳ immune response? They are contained in the middle of the cancer; the    
۳ body is not doing anything to fight them, and yet they're not spreading.
۳ What's containing them? What if cancer isn't really the enemy? What if  
۳ it's the body's last-chance attempt at getting these bugs and           
۳ localising them in an area so they don't spread and kill us in a hurry? 
۳ What if cancer is actually doing us a favour? Is that why every time we 
۳ fry a cancer lesion with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the whole thing 
۳ then comes back and explodes all over the place because we're actually  
۳ releasing the cause from its entrapment? Just a theory!                 
۳ This therapy at the very least can control the disease, and at best can 
۳ cause dramatic, rapid improvement. There are many cases of cancer tumour
۳ reducing to half its size within a week or two.                         
۳ For example, fig. 1a shows the mammogram of a breast cancer in a 65-year
۳ -old woman. After 10 days of treatment, the breast is normal (fig. 1b). 
۳ Fig. 2a shows a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a 32-year-old woman.  
۳ After two weeks of treatment, her lymphoma was considerably reduced in  
۳ size (fig. 2b). ["Note" No fig's available].                            
۳ It's unheard of to be able to do that and not have significant die-off  
۳ or toxic effects-and yet they don't exist with this treatment. When you 
۳ follow nature and follow the guidelines of what happens in spontaneous  
۳ remission, Induced Remission Therapy can achieve cures with minimal side
۳ effects.                                                                
۳ I didn't choose the public forum to come here and speak to you today.   
۳ Please understand me: I would much rather be addressing medical         
۳ practitioners, peers, and getting this out not as an alternative        
۳ therapy but as a conventional therapy. I've spent 12 years trying to    
۳ get my research published in the conventional literature, and 12 years  
۳ going from hospital to hospital and being treated like something they'd 
۳ stepped in.                                                             
۳ In light of what I read in the paper today-somebody wrote an article    
۳ condemning this conference-it appears that the message being sent by    
۳ that person is that if the conventional medical establishment in all    
۳ its holiness doesn't agree with a concept or a therapy, then the public 
۳ is just too stupid to be able to understand it fully and evaluate it for
۳ themselves. The attitude is that the public is just so dumb that they   
۳ shouldn't be given the opportunity. Well, my apologies to the author,   
۳ but the greatest fool I know is a blind fool who'll say opinions about  
۳ things he hasn't even bothered experiencing or investigating himself.   
۳ In this "Kevorkian age", as I call it, where people champion the concept
۳ of death with dignity when faced with suffering, pain and disease, I'm  
۳ offering a technology that can end suffering, pain and disease; and I   
۳ pray that the emphasis will shift now from trying to support death with 
۳ dignity to championing life with dignity.                               
۳                                                                         
۳                              Part III-Update                            
۳                 (Charts not available referenced in text)               
۳                                                                         
۳ After years of lectures, presentations to peers and public appearances  
۳ as well as numerous radio, television, newspaper and magazine           
۳ appearances, I find that conventional medicine still has little         
۳ awareness of the efficacy of my therapies-as evidenced, for example, in 
۳ the advances achieved using IRT in AIDS remission (see table 1).        
۳ Any doctor can make amazing claims, but independent, unbiased testing is
۳ a credible way to determine the efficacy of a treatment. It would not   
۳ only document the effectiveness of my vaccines but would also stir      
۳ interest in any promising new therapy.                                  
۳ So I brought case studies of AIDS patients I'd treated to Cedar Sinai   
۳ Medical Center for evaluation. Dr Shlomo Melmed was impressed with the  
۳ results, and at his suggestion I sent samples of my vaccine to the AIDS 
۳ and Immune Disorders Center's Division of Infectious Diseases for an    
۳ vitro analysis. The clinical analysis performed by Dr. Eric Daar        
۳ indicated that out of the 22 samples tested, 20 of them showed 99%      
۳ efficacy in neutralising HIV-1.                                         
۳ This analysis was followed up with an independent evaluation by         
۳ University of Southern California clinical laboratories. This involved  
۳ the electron microscopy of blood samples taken by a control group       
۳ infected with HIV. This group yielded over 100 photos that demonstrate  
۳ the attack, death, disintegration and purge of the HIV virus. The PhD   
۳ who conducted this test remarked that "the number of intact viral       
۳ particles has declined for each patient following vaccine administration
۳ at a level approximating 50%".                                          
۳ Examples of this progression from attack to purge are shown in figures  
۳ 3a to 3d. The first electron microscope photograph (fig. 3a) shows the  
۳ fragmenting cell full of HIV particles. The next photo (fig. 3b) shows  
۳ the cell three days later, with improved stability and decreased viral  
۳ particle count. The third photo (fig. 3c) was taken six days after      
۳ vaccine treatment and shows fewer viral particles per cell. The final   
۳ photo (fig. 3d), taken nine days after therapy, shows no intracellular  
۳ viral particles and the now-visible cell nucleus.                       
۳ This evidence from the cellular level demonstrates that AIDS and cancer 
۳ can be attacked genetically without causing significant damage to the   
۳ healthy, fast-multiplying cells needed to maintain a healthy life.      
۳ You'd think that the media, the medical community and others would be   
۳ alerted to the fantastic results of this treatment.                     
۳ It's hard to imagine that institutes entrusted with the public faith and
۳ public funds to discover and research new therapies would delay the     
۳ application of life-saving technology and treatments. It was my hope    
۳ that knowledge of IRT would be disseminated and the FDA would allow the 
۳ practice of this therapy upon the countless AIDS and cancer victims who 
۳ had little hope otherwise. But these doctors and medical institutes     
۳ denied having any affiliation with me. They denied the impressive test  
۳ data and even denied knowing me-until forced to declare otherwise before
۳ a judge in a civil legal action in San Diego, CA (case no. 700406). It  
۳ was their incomprehensible behaviour that led me to bring a lawsuit, if 
۳ for no other reason than to make these test results a record of the     
۳ court, but I had to pursue these medical organisations so as to have    
۳ access to further laboratory evidence.                                  
۳ I've always resented my work being associated under the catch-all phrase
۳ "alternative medicine". My treatment involves an extremely focused      
۳ hybrid of what is considered "conventional medicine". However, in my    
۳ pursuit of any form of therapy that could augment or even supersede my  
۳ own findings, I've always been interested in alternatives as opposed to 
۳ conventional, toxic and often barbaric treatments.                      
۳ Although there is hope of finding other practitioners who have medical   
۳ information to offer, I have yet to find any breakthroughs that would   
۳ complement my own.                                                      
۳ I've been appalled to find alternative health organisations that sell   
۳ juice drinks, vitamin C shots and laetrile powders to desperate patients
۳ -products costing hundreds and often thousands of dollars yet only      
۳ costing a few cents to make.                                            
۳ It was in this spirit that I made this offer: US$100,000 to any         
۳ "alternative" therapy that can prove 10 cases of full cancer remission. 
۳ Additionally, I made this offer to the sceptical world of conventional  
۳ medicine: US$100,000 to any reputable medical organisation that will    
۳ test and publish the results of my AIDS and cancer vaccines.            
۳ No one has yet come forward to make a claim on these offers.            
۳ With the realisation that Induced Remission Therapy can offer favourable
۳ results now, and with the assistance of additional resources, medical   
۳ industry professionals who are truly dedicated to curing disease, and   
۳ have the ability to catalogue, store and culture autogenous vaccines on 
۳ a large scale, could and would alter medical treatment as recognised    
۳ today. Historically, institutions are resistant to change. Change comes  
۳ slowly. So for any promising therapy to be accepted into the mainstream 
۳ of medical practice, this would require a paradigm shift in medical     
۳ science as we know it today.                                            
۳ IRT deals with maladies at the genetic level. Indeed, it is the only    
۳ therapy now in application that concentrates on disease at this level.  
۳ The matrix of many diseases is at the genetic level, so many types of   
۳ illness can be treated with IRT.                                        
۳ Genetic correction is the only hope for achieving a cure in such disease
۳ conditions as AIDS and cancer, and starkly contrasts the available toxic
۳ and inferior modalities that attack disease mechanisms and symptoms     
۳ while leaving a damaged blueprint.                                      
۳ The best demonstration of this remarkable ability can be seen in the    
۳ cases where HIV virus is genetically removed from the cell nucleus. Not 
۳ only is the body purged of the disease, but it is able to repair damage 
۳ suffered during the course of the illness. This opens up a new field of 
۳ cellular regeneration never before possible.                            
۳ The capacity to reverse age-and disease-related DNA damage opens a new  
۳ world of therapeutic opportunity and almost limitless application.      
۳                                                                    ...
