Many believe that modern medicine will someday develop effective ³Û Û³ therapies. Those afflicted, their friends, family, lovers, pray that the³Û Û³ breakthroughs will come one day soon. ³Û Û³ Imagine that the world was offered new treatments and even real cures. ³Û Û³ Newspaper, television, radio and magazines would carry images of medical³Û Û³ triumph supported not only by hard data but by living, walking, healthy ³Û Û³ miracles. Imagine the impact this gift would have on millions of lives: ³Û Û³ the fulfillment of dreams, the awakening of hope. Try to imagine that ³Û Û³ the announcement was made and the world slept through it. Try to picture³Û Û³ a public reception with indifference and a medical society charged not ³Û Û³ to embrace but to destroy all embers of this success. ³Û Û³ If the scenario is hard to picture, then don't try to imagine it but try³Û Û³ to remember. It happened. I know. I developed the technology. I made the³Û Û³ announcement. ³Û Û³ I had always known that the medical system would take time to change, to³Û Û³ develop, but I could not have believed that the public announcement ³Û Û³ would fall on the deaf ears of victims, nor that any of my peers would ³Û Û³ challenge me not on the science of my achievements but with baseless ³Û Û³ rumours, lies and personal attacks. I could never have anticipated that ³Û Û³ in answering the dreams of so many, my life would turn into a nightmare.³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ A THREAT TO THE STATUS QUO ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ Summer of 1995 was the proudest in my life. Fifteen years of research ³Û Û³ and medical trials had been building up to this one moment: the ³Û Û³ triumphant return to my adopted homeland Australia, and the fulfillment ³Û Û³ of a promise I had made to myself as I watched my father die of cancer ³Û Û³ so many years before. ³Û Û³ Investigating three previously overlooked phenomena-organ resistance, ³Û Û³ organism resistance and spontaneous remission-I had developed effective ³Û Û³ vaccines for the prevention and treatment of many killer diseases. The ³Û Û³ genesis of what I call..."Induced Remission Therapy"...had begun in ³Û Û³ Australia more than a decade earlier, but I had spent five years touring³Û Û³ the world, lecturing and training doctors in hospitals and institutes. I³Û Û³ was returning with independent proof: dramatic and overwhelming evidence³Û Û³ that a new age of health was being ushered in. I was returning home to ³Û Û³ present my discoveries and to fund all research and development in this ³Û Û³ field. ³Û Û³ Armed with X-rays, blood tests, preliminary data from the Colorado ³Û Û³ University Medical School, UCLA, Cedars Sinai Medical Center and ³Û Û³ undoubtedly the strongest proof: patients in remission from cancer, AIDS³Û Û³ and heart disease-rescued after all other options had been exhausted. ³Û Û³ This should have been the realisation of my life's goals. Via the media,³Û Û³ millions would meet the success stories and hear of my grant offer, ³Û Û³ $100,000 to initiate investigations in Australia of this new therapy. ³Û Û³ Then, suddenly, silence. All research institutes were eligible for the ³Û Û³ $100,000 grant, but none came. ³Û Û³ I found myself suddenly in the vacuum of a media blackout. Interviews ³Û Û³ were cancelled, news stories were not run. The public returned to its ³Û Û³ comfortable staple of cancer "breakthroughs" that may come to be in the ³Û Û³ next 10 years, the weekly announcements from the familiar research ³Û Û³ institutes. Soon, to the public, I became a forgotten memory. To other ³Û Û³ interests, however, I was a threat that needed to be destroyed. ³Û Û³ A direct frontal assault on Australian soil was not the way, though. I ³Û Û³ am a medical doctor in Australia; that gives me certain powers and ³Û Û³ rights. I had offered money to have my therapies proved or disproved, ³Û Û³ and I had reached out to the public. Attacking me overtly would have ³Û Û³ raised too many questions. Backed by data from some of the world's most ³Û Û³ prestigious research institutes, I was offering my technology with no ³Û Û³ strings attached. ³Û Û³ Australian Medical Board representatives attempted to chastise me for ³Û Û³ what they believed were obvious lies and deception. They demanded to ³Û Û³ know who had evaluated my data and where. They accused me of falsely ³Û Û³ raising hope in poor, dying individuals. It seemed okay to announce that³Û Û³ you can cure an occasional rat and raise millions in public donations if³Û Û³ you are an institute; however, to say that you can help people and not ³Û Û³ ask for, but offer money to prove your point was not quite the done ³Û Û³ thing. Interestingly, the Medical Board enquiry into my "unprofessional"³Û Û³ behaviour was the first time I had divulged details of the contacts and ³Û Û³ institutes investigating my technology. Incredibly, within days, these ³Û Û³ centres would not only cancel their collaboration with me but also, ³Û Û³ paradoxically, begin to deny that one had ever existed. ³Û Û³ In the USA and Mexico clinics opened up, offering my therapy but ³Û Û³ delivering heaven-knows-what to unsuspecting patients. I initiated legal³Û Û³ action to shut them down, but then became a victim of intense personal ³Û Û³ and professional attacks as well as physical attempts on my life. I was ³Û Û³ disgusted to learn that members of UCLA and Cedars Sinai took part in my³Û Û³ denigration, but I was in for an even greater shock. When the names of ³Û Û³ individuals from the Australian Medical Board were used against me, I ³Û Û³ asked them to intervene; they would not. It seemed that my own Medical ³Û Û³ Board was supporting the attacks, even if only by inaction. ³Û Û³ What is even more incredible is that amongst all the lies were claims ³Û Û³ that my MB, BS (the Australian medical degree) was not that of a doctor ³Û Û³ but rather of a nurse or undergraduate. In court, American expert ³Û Û³ witnesses testified to that and the Australian Medical Board seemed to ³Û Û³ go along for the ride. Despite incredible resistance and bias, I won the³Û Û³ court battle-but the war to save lives still rages. ³Û Û³ Unlike stories of conspiracies and cover-ups from long ago, this is ³Û Û³ happening now. I am still alive; the dream need not be lost, then ³Û Û³ mourned. The proof is there if you would only look. ³Û Û³ I would never have imagined that the hardest part of healing cancer and ³Û Û³ AIDS would be to get people to listen. ³Û Û³ This is my story and our dream. Please read; read and remember. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ ACCELERATED DREAMS ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ Every child has dreams and aspirations, major contributions to make, ³Û Û³ marks to be left, fame to be found-and what feels like an eternity in ³Û Û³ which to accomplish these objectives. Curing cancer, growing up to be a ³Û Û³ hero, saving mankind-these must be some of the commonest fantasies of ³Û Û³ the young. Impossible tasks seem achievable because there is so much ³Û Û³ time-time to study, time to grow, time to prepare. Time allows for ³Û Û³ attainable fantasies, for pleasant dreams. When time is shortened by age³Û Û³ or situation, when there is a need for rapid realisation of the dream, ³Û Û³ reality destroys fantasies and dreams are either abandoned or are often ³Û Û³ transformed into tangible despair that mourns with its loss by cutting ³Û Û³ harsher than reality ever could. ³Û Û³ My father was first diagnosed with cancer in 1975. He was aware of the ³Û Û³ multiple myeloma (a cancer of the bone marrow) several months prior to ³Û Û³ submitting to investigations and therapy. Multiple myeloma at the time ³Û Û³ was treated only when symptomatic, as therapy was felt to decrease ³Û Û³ lifespan, so he felt no rush to confirm his diagnosis. ³Û Û³ He also felt no rush in informing me of his condition. My brother and ³Û Û³ sister had already entered medical school; I had entered puberty. My ³Û Û³ father worried that the news would devastate me and affect my studies. ³Û Û³ Even when faced with death, his concerns were for my life and future. ³Û Û³ So much changed in the next few years. My father, the workaholic, became³Û Û³ much more the family man; always my hero, now my best friend. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ STEPPING STONES, ALTERED PERCEPTION ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ Cancer is a disease that has repeatedly thwarted a cure. To defeat it, ³Û Û³ surely one did not simply need to understand current teachings, one ³Û Û³ needed to excel. Curing cancer, was not within current knowledge, ³Û Û³ therefore one needed not only to master existing technology but to ³Û Û³ surpass it. ³Û Û³ When seen as stepping stones to achieving my dream, teachings were ³Û Û³ devoured. I top-marked in several exams and received the T. F. Ryan ³Û Û³ Roentgen Prize in physics. I tried to apply every new nugget of ³Û Û³ information to my father's situation. Biochemistry taught of new agents ³Û Û³ that could increase the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and ³Û Û³ of cellular toxic agents that were presented in other contexts. Review ³Û Û³ of old and new medical research often showed that these agents had been ³Û Û³ used, and failed to demonstrate efficacy. Chemical therapy of cancer was³Û Û³ receiving such intense worldwide scrutiny that it was virtually ³Û Û³ impossible to generate an original thought or concept from within the ³Û Û³ field. ³Û Û³ Perhaps the answer then lay in the application of unrelated technology ³Û Û³ to the cancer problem. In physics we were taught that ultrasonic waves ³Û Û³ would have different heating coefficients depending on the density of ³Û Û³ the target; that is, the harder something was, the hotter it would ³Û Û³ become when exposed to ultrasonic frequencies. Cancer was usually denser³Û Û³ than normal tissue, and my father's cancer, being surrounded by bone, ³Û Û³ could be heated up much more so than surrounding soft tissue. Perhaps ³Û Û³ such preferential heat damage could kill the cancer. ³Û Û³ I approached several cancer researchers. They seemed as excited as I was³Û Û³ but cautioned me to check past publications on the subject. Thirty years³Û Û³ previously, someone had applied that effect to cancer with marginal and ³Û Û³ occasionally harmful responses. ³Û Û³ Preferential attacks on cancer were not the answer, perhaps protection ³Û Û³ of normal structures against toxic agents would allow for more savage ³Û Û³ attacks against cancer. I discovered entire fields of science on the ³Û Û³ topic of radioprotective and chemoprotective agents. It was almost ³Û Û³ impossible to generate an original thought within the confines of ³Û Û³ chemotherapy and radiotherapy, yet despite continued failure these ³Û Û³ modalities seemed so powerful, alluring. Cancer was killing my father; ³Û Û³ I wanted to hit back, hard! ³Û Û³ Searching for metabolic weaknesses; poisoning some pathway essential to ³Û Û³ cancer but not to normal cells; combining modalitie of chemotherapy with³Û Û³ each other, with radiation, with hormones-everything had previously been³Û Û³ done and had failed. ³Û Û³ Cancer was seen as a disease of excess (too much smoking, radiation, ³Û Û³ pollution etc.); the generation of an evil, foreign life-form which ³Û Û³ battles and invariably destroys its host. Excess must be cut down, taken³Û Û³ away, burned or poisoned. This logic, combined with the frustration and ³Û Û³ hatred generated by this invulnerable nemesis, had locked us into the ³Û Û³ mindset that dominates current therapies-therapies that have failed us ³Û Û³ for so long, yet which we refuse to abandon. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ STANDARD CONCEPTS OF CANCER ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ I would like to outline the concepts that have dominated cancer research³Û Û³ and therapies over the past few decades. Understanding failure is a ³Û Û³ useful tool in attaining success. ³Û Û³ By definition, cancer is a rogue cell which multiplies without respect ³Û Û³ for normal systems of cellular control and develops into a mass that ³Û Û³ invades and destroys normal tissue and structures. It is a powerful, ³Û Û³ mindless beast that spreads, grows more rapidly than normal tissue and ³Û Û³ ultimately leads to the death of the host. ³Û Û³ Cancer growth rate may be slowed or accelerated by a mass variety of ³Û Û³ infections. Even in its natural history, cancer growth is not constant, ³Û Û³ for during the life of the patient the disease often grows in spurts. It³Û Û³ is not uncommon for some cancer metastase to shrink, while most increase³Û Û³ in size. ³Û Û³ Cancer, the "mindless beast", starts in a localised area, invades ³Û Û³ circulatory and lymphatic systems, then spreads throughout the body. ³Û Û³ Certain cancers exhibit specific patterns of spread, long held by ³Û Û³ conventional teachings to be dictated by the pattern of circulatory ³Û Û³ distribution of micro-tumour emboli. This belief furthers the concept ³Û Û³ that cancer is a rampaging monster, cast by chance to spread its deadly ³Û Û³ seeds. Passively carried by blood and lymph to their new targets, cancer³Û Û³ cells are undifferentiated, nonspecific parcels of destruction that care³Û Û³ not where they lodge and are not part of the decision-making process in ³Û Û³ their travels to new organs. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ SEARCHING FOR MISSING DEFENCES ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ A few observations regarding cancer, its population and age distribution³Û Û³ are cited repeatedly in immunotherapy literature. Essentially, increased³Û Û³ cancer incidence occurs with immunodeficiency and age, particularly past³Û Û³ puberty, also appears to be a promoting factor. ³Û Û³ If one considers only these observations, one can conclude that after ³Û Û³ puberty theres a loss of some vital immune-protective agent. If only we ³Û Û³ could identify it and replenish it, perhaps we could then triumph over ³Û Û³ this living nightmare. ³Û Û³ The most likely candidate for our source of white blood cells in shining³Û Û³ armour seemed to be the thymus gland, a master immune- cell generator ³Û Û³ which atrophies by early teenage years. Its degeneration seemed to ³Û Û³ correlate with increased appearance of cancer. ³Û Û³ Therapies have proliferated over the years where part or all of the ³Û Û³ thymus, its products and hormones were used to treat cancer patients. ³Û Û³ Results were marginal to non-existent, yet, of all the borderline ³Û Û³ alternative therapies, thymus supplementation persists most stubbornly. ³Û Û³ Propelled by a romantic notion, hope does not fade-even when it is a ³Û Û³ false hope. This restricted logic may have been sound. Perhaps we had ³Û Û³ fixated on the wrong atrophied organ. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ ORGAN RESISTANCE ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ A common observation, even in the most advanced of malignancies, is that³Û Û³ some organs and tissues appear resistant to cancer spread and invasion. ³Û Û³ The small intestine not only resist spread but also very rarely develops³Û Û³ primary cancer. Perhaps there is specific immunologic capacity in the ³Û Û³ small intestine that prevents cancer from developing and protects it ³Û Û³ from tumour spread. ³Û Û³ A quick search of anatomy and immunology books revealed that the small ³Û Û³ intestine is blessed with its own immune protection in the form of ³Û Û³ lymphoid aggregates called "Peyer's patches". Much of the function of ³Û Û³ this line of defence is restricted to the small intestine and does not ³Û Û³ circulate. This could account for the cancer resistance being local. ³Û Û³ Studies of lower animals, particularly birds, indicated that their main ³Û Û³ immune-processing organ was not the thymus but was located in their ³Û Û³ embryonic and foetal intestine. Could this part of human immunology have³Û Û³ been delegated an unfairly low status? In the animals, their capacity to³Û Û³ transfer immune resistance to the entire body is optimal early in life. ³Û Û³ What if human correlation exists whereby there is transfer of resistant ³Û Û³ factors between Peyer's patches (and immune responses localised to the ³Û Û³ small intestine in later life) and the rest of the body early in life? ³Û Û³ In view of the logic supporting thymic supplementation and the hope that³Û Û³ restoration of an atrophied organ would destroy disease, there was ³Û Û³ another interesting observation with relation to Peyer's patches. ³Û Û³ Intestinal lymphoid aggregates atrophied with age. We had been so ³Û Û³ obsessed with the thymus that perhaps we overlooked the real saviour. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ THOUGHT TO ACTION ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ I had yet to start medical school but spent a good deal of time at the ³Û Û³ Peter McCallum Cancer Institute in Melbourne where my father was ³Û Û³ receiving treatment. He had introduced me to several oncologists and I ³Û Û³ approached them with my ideas. The general response was condescending ³Û Û³ but usually polite. Dr Ian Cooper, chief haematologist, was not only ³Û Û³ supportive but also advised me to formulate my ideas as an experimental ³Û Û³ protocol and present it to Dr Jose of the Immunology Department. ³Û Û³ The reply to my preliminary correspondence was surprisingly encouraging:³Û Û³ I was invited to address the weekly group meeting of the immunology ³Û Û³ research team. I prepared theory, protocol and an experimental design. ³Û Û³ The presentation was informal and pleasant. Researchers from around the ³Û Û³ world had submitted protocols for review by this unit. Immunostimulants,³Û Û³ interferon, interleukin, lymphocyte harvest pre-chemotherapy: the ³Û Û³ suggestions were complicated but the themes familiar. I had heard or ³Û Û³ read about all these concepts before; worse yet, the experiments had ³Û Û³ been done and repeated years previously. I felt encouraged; my protocol ³Û Û³ was the only original idea being presented on that day. Surely a new ³Û Û³ concept would be more appealing to a research unit on the cutting edge ³Û Û³ of technology than simple repetition of prior failures? ³Û Û³ To demonstrate that Peyer's patches could be stimulated to produce anti-³Û Û³ cancer activity, I proposed that lymphocytes isolated from these ³Û Û³ aggregates be tested against those taken from the spleen and other ³Û Û³ sources for efficacy against cancer. For obvious reasons I chose ³Û Û³ multiple myeloma as the cancer system to attack. An important design ³Û Û³ feature was the testing of ordinary extracts to check for inherent ³Û Û³ activity and the evaluation of lymphocytes exposed to the cancer during ³Û Û³ the animal's life to search for induced activity. ³Û Û³ I was aware that the members of the unit had not been previously exposed³Û Û³ to this approach; it was new to them. I was also aware that they were ³Û Û³ not in the least interested. ³Û Û³ The first question I was asked was by Dr Jose, requesting the sources ³Û Û³ and literature supporting this concept as well as data on previous ³Û Û³ trials and their conclusions on this issue. ³Û Û³ "This experiment hasn't been done before!" I claimed proudly. ³Û Û³ "But we need to see prior work in this field," he countered. "That is a ³Û Û³ key factor in our accepting experimental protocols!" ³Û Û³ In that instant, I understood an intrinsic flaw in the cancer research ³Û Û³ industry. In order to realise easy acceptance of ideas and receive ³Û Û³ grants, it was important to show that you were travelling down the same ³Û Û³ well-worn path of prior investigations. ³Û Û³ "I don't understand," I replied. "Are you telling me that you won't do ³Û Û³ this because it hasn't been done before?" ³Û Û³ "It is hard for me to allocate funds to work lacking prior experimental ³Û Û³ and data references." (In essence, he meant "yes".) ³Û Û³ "We have no cure for cancer; we aren't even close. How will we find it ³Û Û³ if we don't explore new avenues?" I did not mean to sound cocky, but all³Û Û³ of my hope and courage were suddenly dissipating. I was being rejected. ³Û Û³ "We are on a strict budget and have defined guidelines." ³Û Û³ I would not be dismissed; my chance to save my father demanded their ³Û Û³ acceptance. ³Û Û³ "Okay, I'll pay for it!" (The first of many times that this phrase would³Û Û³ pass my lips, and about the only time that I would not regret it.) ³Û Û³ Dr Jose smiled and relented. "We'll see," he said. "Go do an intensive ³Û Û³ literature search; we'll start arranging things next week. Your ideas ³Û Û³ are interesting and worth exploring." ³Û Û³ My father, Isaac, was by now confined to a wheelchair and my mother, ³Û Û³ Catherine, catered to his every need and whim. He had been a whirlwind, ³Û Û³ an active workaholic who delighted in helping the ill. Now confined to ³Û Û³ a chair and to bed, he exhibited a spirit and attitude that I have since³Û Û³ come to realise is far from common. Isaac wasted no time cursing his ³Û Û³ debility but would focus on how long he was able to stay in his garden, ³Û Û³ tending to his plants, or on how active and pain-free he could be on a ³Û Û³ particular day. ³Û Û³ That day, my father and mother awaited my return from the conference ³Û Û³ with anticipation. That night, my home was filled with intense happiness³Û Û³ hope and prayer. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ SIMPLE MIRACLES ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ The experiment I had proposed was amateurish in its simplicity. The ³Û Û³ small intestine dealt with foreign challenges from ingested food on a ³Û Û³ continuous basis. Mechanisms for immunologically dealing with harmful ³Û Û³ agents had to be dramatic, rapid and effective. Every time an organism ³Û Û³ entered our intestine, we did not have the luxury of mounting a slow ³Û Û³ response with temperature, lethargy and all the normal physiologic and ³Û Û³ metabolic features of an immune response. It had to be eliminated with ³Û Û³ prejudice and finality. ³Û Û³ Neighbourhood lymphocytes in the blood and other organs would never meet³Û Û³ such overwhelming numbers of challenges, as several barriers needed to ³Û Û³ be passed first.... their response therefore could afford to be more ³Û Û³ delayed. Immune cells from respiratory passages would also be expected ³Û Û³ to act rapidly, but they did not appear resistant to the spread and ³Û Û³ appearance of cancer. Peyer's patches would protect the small intestine ³Û Û³ against direct invasion from the large bowel cancers as well as blood- ³Û Û³ borne metastases. I reasoned that their cancer-killing ability should ³Û Û³ be visible within minutes. ³Û Û³ Others in the laboratory were sceptical, and with reason. Data repeated ³Û Û³ from decades of studies indicated that it would take the incubation of ³Û Û³ 50,000 to 100,000 white blood cells for three days with cancer cells ³Û Û³ and immunostimulants for some of these cells to kill one cancer cell. ³Û Û³ The effect was often so subtle that radio-uptake and leakage studies ³Û Û³ had to be undertaken to detect differences. This involved incubating ³Û Û³ cancer cells with radioactive isotopes of an agent such as caesium, to ³Û Û³ allow the cancer cells to absorb it. When damaged, cancer cells would ³Û Û³ then leak the radioactive caesium and that leakage can be measured to ³Û Û³ indicate cell damage. I reasoned that the effect would be easily seen ³Û Û³ on light microscopy with oesin uptake. This technique is one where a ³Û Û³ red dye is added to the cells. Living cells have an active pump system ³Û Û³ and patent membranes that stop dye entry, whereas damaged and dying ³Û Û³ cells would be coloured by the oesin. ³Û Û³ Control studies using cells from Peyer's patches that had not been ³Û Û³ exposed to cancer, showed cancer viability close to 95 per cent. Spleen ³Û Û³ cells from unexposed animals did the same. Spleen cells from animals ³Û Û³ that had been carrying the cancer gave me a surprising finding of 100 ³Û Û³ per cent viability of cancer and an actual increase in cancer count ³Û Û³ after short-term incubation. It appeared that spleen extract from a ³Û Û³ diseased animal was actually promoting tumour growth. I did not pay much³Û Û³ attention to that finding at the time; I was searching for a cure, not ³Û Û³ riddles. ³Û Û³ Cells from Peyer's patches of mice that had been carrying the cancer ³Û Û³ surpassed my expectations. As opposed to the 50,000 to 100,000 cells ³Û Û³ destroying one cancer cell as previously mentioned over a three-day ³Û Û³ period, it took one lymphocyte from sensitised aggregates to kill 400 ³Û Û³ cancer cells in a one-hour-or-less time period. The cancer cells would ³Û Û³ uptake the red oesin dye and soon collapse. ³Û Û³ The experiment would be repeated over and over before I would let myself³Û Û³ believe it, before I would show others. Exposed to a very small amount ³Û Û³ of Peyer's patch extracts, the cancer cells would turn red with ³Û Û³ embarrassment, then shrivel and die. Mass slaughter of an invulnerable ³Û Û³ enemy-it was intoxicating and delicious. ³Û Û³ I beckoned for Dr Jose to review the carnage. With just a hint of ³Û Û³ excitement he exclaimed, "They're all dead!" He then added in standard ³Û Û³ clinical "Vulcan" coldness: "Interesting." ³Û Û³ The following weeks were filled with more magic. Tests confirmed no ³Û Û³ toxicity to healthy cells from my lymphocyte extracts. They were able to³Û Û³ protect animals against cancer inoculations, and single low-dose ³Û Û³ treatment was able to keep the animals living longer once they had the ³Û Û³ disease. Other cancer systems were tested, including the hepatoma rat ³Û Û³ model, with identical successes. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ FADING DREAMS ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ I asked when this discovery could be put to use in terminally-ill ³Û Û³ humans. "Not for a long, long time," I was told condescendingly. ³Û Û³ None of my colleagues or superiors in the laboratory seemed to share my ³Û Û³ excitement; worse yet, they seemed to resent my success-and me, too, for³Û Û³ that matter. Perhaps their egos were bruised. I was often reminded that ³Û Û³ I had no formal training or education in the field, whereas they had ³Û Û³ Hospital) and the Ludwig Institute became more and more isolated. ³Û Û³ Other affiliates and collaborators who had donated animals and lab space³Û Û³ to me included the Department of Biochemistry at Melbourne University. ³Û Û³ Dr Schreiber, the department head, called me in to advise me personally ³Û Û³ that in the few days I had been there I had created friction as I was ³Û Û³ not qualified, paid or a member of their 'group' and that structurally ³Û Û³ they could not support another worker. I had not fought with anybody, ³Û Û³ or argued or insulted anyone. I was unpaid and, above all, my work was ³Û Û³ yielding incredible results. How could they terminate investigation on ³Û Û³ such a promising avenue? These extracts were killing cancer more ³Û Û³ effectively and more safely than anything else in history! "It doesn't ³Û Û³ matter," Dr Schreiber replied. ³Û Û³ Dr Jose reminded me that publication was the only way for a scientist ³Û Û³ to achieve recognition, and offered me a poster presentation at the ³Û Û³ Clinical Oncology Society of Australia (COSA) annual meeting in 1981. ³Û Û³ Hopes rekindled; I prepared for the big time. Perhaps amongst doctors, ³Û Û³ the idea of an effective therapy would be better received than in the ³Û Û³ sterile field of research. ³Û Û³ A few months later I was standing proudly by my poster; the youngest- ³Û Û³ ever presenter of an original project at the prestigious COSA meeting. ³Û Û³ Few people stopped by my exhibit and most did so only to advise me to ³Û Û³ leave research and concentrate on my medical studies. I was simply too ³Û Û³ young and naïve, they said. "What about the work?" I asked. "Interesting³Û Û³ ," they replied, and moved on. ³Û Û³ Most people spent their time around a diagnostic antibody exhibit. The ³Û Û³ attractive researcher's mini-skirt and plunging neckline were also on ³Û Û³ exhibit. Hell, even I found myself distracted by her monoclonals! ³Û Û³ I had come with aspirations of recognition, of encountering someone who ³Û Û³ would carry the investigation where I could not: in the human field. If ³Û Û³ I had harboured any illusions of discovery, fame or acceptance, they ³Û Û³ were quickly shattered. Scientists and doctors alike had greeted me and ³Û Û³ my discoveries with the same warmth one reserves for an acute attack of ³Û Û³ haemorrhoids or outbreak of herpes. ³Û Û³ While I found the displays worthwhile, the conferences themselves were ³Û Û³ electrifying. I learned of new techniques being used and the latest ³Û Û³ trials of hormonal agents, immunostimulants and chemotherapy. ³Û Û³ Immunotherapy remained an exciting field, whereas the latest ³Û Û³ chemotherapy evaluations were delivered in gritty, realistic and ³Û Û³ defeatist manner. Hormones were finding increasing application in ³Û Û³ general disease management. Bone damage and pain in cancer such as ³Û Û³ multiple myeloma were shown to be preventable and treatable with ³Û Û³ anabolic hormones. Just that tidbit of information was worthwhile. It ³Û Û³ represented a concrete, usable way to help my father. ³Û Û³ During the presentations I was to strike a friendship with an oncologist³Û Û³ who would later do his best to destroy me. It would be a recurring theme³Û Û³ of my life. My greatest enemies would always start as respected friends.³Û Û³ When I suggested to my father's oncologist that anabolic hormones be ³Û Û³ added to strengthen his bones and diminish his pain, he became annoyed. ³Û Û³ I had stepped on his toes by daring to suggest a therapy. Had I hurt his³Û Û³ ego? Was there a better way to ask him? Who cares? I just wanted the ³Û Û³ best for my father. He refused to recommend it and my father refused to ³Û Û³ try anything his specialist did not recommend. ³Û Û³ In one presentation I managed to offend my father's doctor and be ³Û Û³ ignored by virtually all others. I had presented a technology for curing³Û Û³ cancer, and no one cared. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ EGOS AND LIES IN THE HEALING ARTS ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ One of modern medicine's greatest achievements is the claim that no one ³Û Û³ needs to suffer, for there is supposedly no pain that cannot be elimin- ³Û Û³ ated by modern pharmaceuticals. That is perhaps true even in severe ³Û Û³ terminal pain, if one does not mind existing instead of living; existing³Û Û³ with clouded perceptions, blunted emotions, a drug-induced stupor; a ³Û Û³ waking coma where you struggle to comprehend the world racing around ³Û Û³ you, where you try to communicate but mouth gibberish, where you dig ³Û Û³ deep, searching for the spark, the joy, the will to continue but find ³Û Û³ not even a memory of it. ³Û Û³ This desperation, this depression, this torment, this torture is often ³Û Û³ the price paid for physical comfort. "We can prevent suffering in ³Û Û³ terminal disease" is a statement often made by a medical fool more ³Û Û³ concerned with perpetuating and reaffirming his illusions of godhood ³Û Û³ without any regard for reality. ³Û Û³ Cancer is nothing if not relentless. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy had ³Û Û³ failed to arrest the progress of my father's disease. As the multiple ³Û Û³ myeloma spread its physical domination, shattered my father's skeleton ³Û Û³ and destroyed his immune function, fractures, recurrent infections and ³Û Û³ pain, constant pain, became features of his life. As he lay bedridden ³Û Û³ with bone compression, multiple rib breaks and a disintegrating pelvis, ³Û Û³ my father refused painkillers except at night so that he could sleep. ³Û Û³ He would not permit any loss of mental clarity during his waking hours: ³Û Û³ time was short and he wanted to live it, experience it fully. With his ³Û Û³ body deteriorating, his mind remained the only undesecrated sanctuary, ³Û Û³ haven, drive to continue. He would not allow this most cherished ³Û Û³ possession to be tainted; he would not allow his loved ones to see him ³Û Û³ as anything less than the best he could be. ³Û Û³ I was beginning to have major problems at medical school. I could not ³Û Û³ see the relevance of many topics, nor fathom the time-wasting techniques³Û Û³ in teaching other subjects. We learned, for example, how to launch a ³Û Û³ projectile into orbit around Jupiter (useful knowledge if your practice ³Û Û³ caters for outer-space aliens and you wish to post them a prescription; ³Û Û³ of course that would necessitate a pharmacy on Uranus, which could prove³Û Û³ uncomfortable). Plutonium purification in the manufacture of nuclear ³Û Û³ warheads was another priceless inclusion in our study of the healing ³Û Û³ arts. Important topics were noted by their absence. Preventive medicine ³Û Û³ was never discussed. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, when I undertook³Û Û³ my formal medical studies-diet and nutrition were considered alternative³Û Û³ heresy. ³Û Û³ The study of anatomy was done in a particularly inefficient manner. We ³Û Û³ were given cadavers to dissect for two years. A group of eight students ³Û Û³ would spend hours, scalpels in hand, digging at a corpse, hoping to find³Û Û³ and trace nerves and arteries to their origins and distributions. Dead ³Û Û³ bodies do not handle the same as living tissue, and rarely look the same³Û Û³ as in book illustrations. I studied my anatomy from a book. Much more ³Û Û³ could have been learned had each group been assigned one person who was ³Û Û³ well-trained and who could have guided and educated us. My memories of ³Û Û³ these sessions are ones of the stench of formalin, of a student eating ³Û Û³ someone's biceps on a dare, and of others skipping rope using a corpse's³Û Û³ small intestine or playing football with a hardened lung. This abhorrent³Û Û³ lack of respect for men and women who had donated their bodies to ³Û Û³ science and medicine sickened me. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ MEDICAL RESEARCH: STAGNANT, DIRECTIONLESS ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ In this era of genetic engineering and daily promises of medical marvels³Û Û³ it is hard to imagine a period where innovative thought seemed to be at ³Û Û³ a standstill; yet back then, as now, in the playing fields of clinical ³Û Û³ trials, one finds some variations of intricate protocols and slight ³Û Û³ modifications of some rules and tools to search for slightly improved ³Û Û³ responses from the same tired players: surgery, radiation and ³Û Û³ chemotherapy. This points to the stagnant nature of real options ³Û Û³ available to the public. ³Û Û³ As a medical student, I was now becoming exposed to rigid, inhumane ³Û Û³ insanity often associated with clinical trials and questionable measures³Û Û³ of success. Only in cancer, for example, would a chemotherapeutic agent ³Û Û³ being evaluated be considered a success if it shrank a cancer mass, even³Û Û³ if it shortened patient survival. ³Û Û³ Decades ago hospitals had carried out unethical and repulsive procedures³Û Û³ in the name of science. Pregnant women were injected with high doses of ³Û Û³ radioactive isotopes to gauge the effect on embryos; prisoners' ³Û Û³ testicles were irradiated to study changes; relatives were inoculated ³Û Û³ with patients' cancers to study their response (at least one case of ³Û Û³ cancer transfer and death of a patient's mother occurred). ³Û Û³ Modern-day inhumanity was present, but not quite as overt. It lay in ³Û Û³ protocol objectives and structures. ³Û Û³ I remember the case of a patient, a 22-year-old mother, who entered a ³Û Û³ monitored trial situation where she was slotted into the hormone-blocker³Û Û³ evaluation group. This breast cancer study was designed to evaluate ³Û Û³ survival with various treatment options: surgery alone (localised), ³Û Û³ surgery alone (extensive), with radiation, with chemotherapy, with ³Û Û³ hormonal blocker therapy, with combinations of the preceding. ³Û Û³ This data had already been gathered to reasonable precision from studies³Û Û³ too numerous to mention worldwide, and with certain guidelines for ³Û Û³ combinations had been enforced for many years. This particular design ³Û Û³ protocol did not allow for such flexibility. How could we achieve ³Û Û³ accurate readings if we contaminated one group with the therapy of ³Û Û³ another group? ³Û Û³ The cruelty of the last statement could be seen in the plight of the ³Û Û³ patient referred to above. Having been assigned to the hormone group, ³Û Û³ other therapy was withheld-even when it became obvious that it was not ³Û Û³ working, and spreading cancer had broken several bones in her spine. ³Û Û³ (This was not an unusual occurrence in breast cancer. The standard ³Û Û³ therapy of the time, which remains to this day, is the use of radiation ³Û Û³ to allow for fracture-healing and to resolve the associated pain. This ³Û Û³ was denied her; actually, never offered, for the 'sake' of the trial.) ³Û Û³ The insanity of this situation must be restated: this trial was ³Û Û³ confirming many others which had already outlined the relative merits ³Û Û³ of therapy. Why this theme of repetitive rediscovery of the known, ³Û Û³ regardless of human consequence? Because it gives the illusion of work, ³Û Û³ progress and motion in a stagnant cesspit of medical impotence. ³Û Û³ In Australia, the natural health revolution had only just begun and was ³Û Û³ struggling for acceptance. The adamant claims of this new field of ³Û Û³ medicine were both inspiring and confusing. The response from all the ³Û Û³ conventional medicine was cutting. Alternative medicine was deemed ³Û Û³ fraudulent and rejected outright, its practitioners shunned and ³Û Û³ persecuted. Disgrace and deregistration awaited doctors who preached or ³Û Û³ practised its beliefs. ³Û Û³ Supporters of this emerging field dealt in an inexact science, yet the ³Û Û³ detractors refused to carry out investigations to disprove the claims ³Û Û³ of alternative medicine. What resulted was a slinging match with a ³Û Û³ confused public as the victim. Patients were often punished if they saw ³Û Û³ a naturopath or asked a doctor advice on supplements; they would be ³Û Û³ treated curtly, and it was not unusual for the doctor to refuse their ³Û Û³ ongoing care. New options had been thrust onto patients, yet proof of ³Û Û³ efficacy was as lacking as proof of inefficacy. ³Û Û³ My mother and I had been searching constantly for anything in research, ³Û Û³ folklore or overseas programs. The sudden influx of claims from natural ³Û Û³ medicine brought a range of new modalities to try: mind power, herbs, ³Û Û³ vitamins, vegetarianism, macrobiotics. My father tried them all, to no ³Û Û³ avail. ³Û Û³ Fasting, juices, meditation, simple do-it-yourself techniques with a ³Û Û³ universal appeal could restore a person's capacity to help themselves ³Û Û³ against a condition so foreign, so overwhelming that grown adults would ³Û Û³ revert to child-like dependency on their doctors. Even if only of ³Û Û³ marginal efficacy in the physical long-run, the psychological advantage ³Û Û³ of regaining some measure of control of one's life was a feature ³Û Û³ conventional medicine could not compete with. There was also a link that³Û Û³ had only been hinted at previously. Alternative medicine heavily ³Û Û³ promoted the concept that proper activation of immune function could ³Û Û³ eliminate cancer-again, an empowering concept. ³Û Û³ Perhaps in an effort to compete with the new challenger, or perhaps ³Û Û³ finally disgusted with the toxic failures called "standard therapy", ³Û Û³ the powers-that-be launched a major thrust into immunotherapy. I was ³Û Û³ part of the "IF" generation. Conventional medicine brought out a new ³Û Û³ warrior, an immunostimulant called "interferon"-the "IF" drug. I cannot ³Û Û³ claim to know or understand what changes the emphasis of investigative ³Û Û³ pathways in modern medicine, only to say that the industry is ³Û Û³ particularly well tuned to public views and needs. In the 1970s it was ³Û Û³ immune function, so interferon and interleukin occupied the forefront ³Û Û³ of research for a decade or so. In the 1980s the public cried out for ³Û Û³ natural medicine, so Taxol, a natural extract, was released. ³Û Û³ If the above passage alluded to a sinister, manipulative arm to the ³Û Û³ industry, it is because I believe it to be inherent in this field. ³Û Û³ Interferon, hailed as the new champion in the 1970s, had actually been ³Û Û³ discovered at least 50 years previously and then shelved. Why turn to ³Û Û³ it now unless the above were true? Public manipulation and public ³Û Û³ gullibility are extreme in many areas; cancer, however, leads the ³Û Û³ field. ³Û Û³ STOLEN HOPE ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ The interferon onslaught was savage. Newspapers, magazines, television ³Û Û³ and radio programs were at saturation levels with details of miraculous ³Û Û³ cures. Like a well-oiled machine, the Cancer Institute announced it ³Û Û³ would commence interferon trials; then... soon after... hospital ³Û Û³ fundraising events were commenced. This '''dance''' of announcing ³Û Û³ breakthroughs, then a program for implementation followed by appeals ³Û Û³ for public donation, was monotonous and obvious, year after year. ³Û Û³ Many controversial figures have been accused of preying on desperate ³Û Û³ victims and profiting from false hope. With decades of failure behind ³Û Û³ them but excellent marketing and publicity, with daily announcements of ³Û Û³ breakthroughs and assurances of imminent success, with billions raised ³Û Û³ within this format, could the cancer industry not also be accused of the³Û Û³ same? Yesterday's heroes fade into oblivion and new hopeful contenders ³Û Û³ are found to blaze in glory for a time, then fail. They may fail in ³Û Û³ living up to therapeutic expectation but always succeed in maintaining ³Û Û³ the illusion of dynamic progress and in raising phenomenal income. ³Û Û³ Interferon was showing initial remarkable activity in several cancer ³Û Û³ types; most importantly, and repeatedly, cases of advanced multiple ³Û Û³ myeloma were shown recovering with this new therapy. My father's ³Û Û³ hospital had announced that it would investigate its efficacy in the ³Û Û³ treatment of multiple myeloma. A dream come true, a hope reignited! ³Û Û³ Institute and was on first-name basis with most of the specialists ³Û Û³ there. He was also one of few long-term survivors of multiple myeloma ³Û Û³ at that hospital, so surely he would be one of those enrolled in the ³Û Û³ trial now that all other therapies were failing him. ³Û Û³ Reality hardly ever fulfils all your dreams and prayers. It is also not ³Û Û³ usually as needlessly cruel as it was to my father. Following months of ³Û Û³ anticipation and planning into what had seemed a bleak future, we ³Û Û³ awaited notification of the interferon trial. My father was not ³Û Û³ accepted. ³Û Û³ In medical trials, patient selection is very often optimised for ³Û Û³ demonstrating good results. The healthier the patient, the more likely ³Û Û³ they are to survive the trial (no point investing in someone who may ³Û Û³ die prior to accumulation of data), and the more likely they are to make³Û Û³ the product look good. My father was a risk. Death loomed closer; cancer³Û Û³ laughed and marched on, its progress accelerated by a weary body and ³Û Û³ a spirit shattered not by disease but by hope that was taken away. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ Part II-Lecture ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ My name is Sam Chachoua and I'm an MD from Melbourne, Australia. What ³Û Û³ I'm going to talk to you about now is something quite new and ³Û Û³ revolutionary. It's called Induced Remission Therapy and it's a ³Û Û³ treatment that is based on three natural phenomena: organ resistance, ³Û Û³ organism resistance, and spontaneous remission. ³Û Û³ I first got into cancer research at an early age when my father was ³Û Û³ diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I basically tried to see whether ³Û Û³ I could find something that could help him where conventional therapies ³Û Û³ were failing. One thing that I noted in all the studies I had was that ³Û Û³ there are parts of the human body-for example, the small intestine-which³Û Û³ are consistently resistant to cancer. Regardless of how far and wide ³Û Û³ cancer usually spreads, it usually leaves the small intestine alone. ³Û Û³ There's also something known as "organism resistance", which means that ³Û Û³ most other animals that we try to give human cancer to are able to ³Û Û³ reject it. So I set about designing an experimental protocol where I was³Û Û³ going to find out what it was about the small intestine that made it ³Û Û³ resistant to cancer, and I was going to find out what it was about ³Û Û³ horses, cats and dogs and other animals that made them resistant to ³Û Û³ human cancer. ³Û Û³ To cut a long story short, I managed to isolate the immunological ³Û Û³ factors which I used in experimental protocols at the Peter McCallum ³Û Û³ Cancer Institute. At age 18 I'd written my first paper, and the ³Û Û³ following year I presented it before the Clinical Oncology Society of ³Û Û³ Australia. Let me tell you, I was pretty proud of myself. I thought: ³Û Û³ "Kid, you've got it made; you've helped your dad now, and this therapy ³Û Û³ is going to be adopted soon." And I could just see it. I was going to ³Û Û³ walk into the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia. Everybody's going ³Û Û³ to cheer and get on the phone and say: "Hey, we've got a young kid here;³Û Û³ give me the Nobel Committee." Naïve! I was actually greeted with all the³Û Û³ warmth one usually reserves for a venereal disease or an acute attack of³Û Û³ haemorrhoids! ³Û Û³ Let me just jump to how this form of therapy can apply to AIDS. We've ³Û Û³ known for a very long time that it's impossible to give animals AIDS by ³Û Û³ injecting them with HIV. Now there are two possibilities: either animals³Û Û³ are inherently resistant, i.e., they don't have receptor sites for HIV; ³Û Û³ or maybe, just maybe, they have an immune system which is capable of ³Û Û³ fighting and destroying the virus. Well, hey, let's check it out! ³Û Û³ So the initial data all showed promise that you could raise an immune ³Û Û³ response out of a horse, for example, that would selectively destroy ³Û Û³ HIV. What intrigued and amazed me was seeing the thought processes or, ³Û Û³ rather, not being able to see the thought processes in the AIDS ³Û Û³ researchers who for years now have tried to find some way of developing ³Û Û³ an immune system resistant to AIDS. They sit there and say: "Well, we ³Û Û³ need to make an animal model. Once we have an animal model, once we've ³Û Û³ made an animal sick with AIDS we can find a way to cure it." So they get³Û Û³ their little test animals; they get their rats, their dogs, their horses³Û Û³ and cats; they inject them with HIV-and they can't give them AIDS! They ³Û Û³ get really upset about that: "How am I supposed to find a cure for AIDS ³Û Û³ if I can't give this animal AIDS? I'm injecting it with HIV to try to ³Û Û³ find an immune response that will kill HIV, and it won't take it. How ³Û Û³ am I supposed to do my job?" Are you following the thought pattern ³Û Û³ here? It's looking right at them. ³Û Û³ It would seem a bit of an anticlimax if I were to tell you that one of ³Û Û³ the easiest ways to deal with the greatest plague today is to use an ³Û Û³ animal system that's resistant to the plague, and treat and cure the ³Û Û³ people suffering from the disease. A hundred years ago, before we had ³Û Û³ antibiotics, the only therapy we had for pneumonia, smallpox and polio ³Û Û³ was horse serum. They'd get a horse, shoot it with a disease, draw the ³Û Û³ horse serum out, shoot that into the person and cure them. If that ³Û Û³ therapy was good enough to deal with the plagues a hundred years ago, ³Û Û³ why isn't it being applied now? ³Û Û³ But what happens if you do apply it now? Here's the case of a young man ³Û Û³ with AIDS. He's 32 years old. He's got a pneumocystis pneumonia, he's ³Û Û³ short of breath, he's got a T-cell count of 80 and a T4/T8 imbalance. ³Û Û³ So, essentially, his blood, his virus, is extracted out; an animal, such³Û Û³ as a horse, is vaccinated with his blood; the antiserum from the animal ³Û Û³ is then purified against this patient's blood so it doesn't cause ³Û Û³ allergic reactions; and the patient is treated with the horse's serum. ³Û Û³ And we see that within 24 hours, the pneumocystis pneumonia clears up. ³Û Û³ That's pretty remarkable considering that the best that antibiotics can ³Û Û³ do, if they can clear it, is take days to weeks. This patient's symptoms³Û Û³ resolved; his T-cell count went up to 780 within 10 days from a low of ³Û Û³ 80, and his T4/T8 ratio became normal. ³Û Û³ Now what I've just told you is pretty dramatic, but doesn't it make some³Û Û³ sense to you? Isn't it common sense? We have a disease that can ravage ³Û Û³ our immune systems but can't ravage a horse's, can't ravage another ³Û Û³ disease? ³Û Û³ So, off I went to the big hospitals in the US, and I said, "Hey, guys, ³Û Û³ look at this!" I showed them the case study and the patient I brought ³Û Û³ with me. I showed them 'befores' and 'afters' which were done on US ³Û Û³ soil, and they said: "Inject a person with horse serum? Are you insane? ³Û Û³ We'd never do that." ³Û Û³ A few months later, some of the people whom I was speaking to from a ³Û Û³ related centre-friends of theirs, actually-came out with the ³Û Û³ announcement that they're going to give a baboon's bone marrow to an ³Û Û³ AIDS patient because baboons are resistant to HIV! ³Û Û³ At that stage, feeling dejected and rather silly, I set about trying to ³Û Û³ investigate as much in the way of alternative therapy and conventional ³Û Û³ therapy as I could-and believe me, I investigated just about everything,³Û Û³ down to laughter therapy! ³Û Û³ Now one thing that really struck me very quickly on in the piece when I ³Û Û³ was reviewing all the alternative, natural and conventional therapies ³Û Û³ is that there are two misnomers that exist in this world. One of them ³Û Û³ is "natural therapy". ³Û Û³ Please, don't take me the wrong way. There's a lot of good in ³Û Û³ alternative therapy, there's a lot of good in vitamins and diet, but ³Û Û³ what on Earth is natural about shoving 50,000 units of vitamin C ³Û Û³ intravenously? What's natural about injecting ozone into somebody's ³Û Û³ backside? What's natural about cappuccino enemas? ³Û Û³ The other great misnomer in the medical field of conventional therapy ³Û Û³ are the terms "radiotherapy" and "chemotherapy". How the world "chemo" ³Û Û³ ever got side by side with the word "therapy" is beyond me. Never before³Û Û³ has a therapy repeatedly failed for 80 years, caused the most hideous ³Û Û³ side effects known to man, and continued to prosper and flourish. It ³Û Û³ amazes me that chemotherapy has spread its wings without people knowing.³Û Û³ For example, how many people know that the commonest therapy for ³Û Û³ aggressive psoriasis these days is chemotherapy? Teenagers and people of³Û Û³ child-bearing age will go to the doctor, and their doctor will say: ³Û Û³ "I'll give you a folic acid antagonist called Methotrexate." You see, ³Û Û³ "folic acid antagonist" sounds better than "chemotherapy", doesn't it, ³Û Û³ but it's chemo. These kids are swallowing poison, and they and their ³Û Û³ kids will suffer the consequences. ³Û Û³ Did you hear about the latest breakthrough, a new form of contraception ³Û Û³ that's now on the market? It's a one-shot abortion injection. Well, the ³Û Û³ abortion injection is a folic acid antagonist. It's chemotherapy. ³Û Û³ Let's be blunt about something. Alternative therapy is great, and we can³Û Û³ probably extend and improve the quality of life of people who are ill, ³Û Û³ and, heaven knows, we can prevent a lot of diseases from happening; but ³Û Û³ when you cut down to the chase, conventional therapy and alternative ³Û Û³ therapy are joined by one thing. ³Û Û³ Over the past hundred years in the war against cancer, we've failed ³Û Û³ abysmally. Let's be frank here: if a hundred people were to do the most ³Û Û³ arduous alternative therapy available, we would not cure a hundred ³Û Û³ cancer patients; we would not cure a hundred AIDS patients. ³Û Û³ There are only three reasons why we're failing in our war. One large ³Û Û³ possibility is that the weaponry isn't powerful enough. Now, in ³Û Û³ chemotherapy and radiotherapy we have weaponry that can cremate a ³Û Û³ person! So, it can't be that one; rule that one out. The second ³Û Û³ possibility is that the target is invisible. Now we know that to be ³Û Û³ true; we know that cancer cells are immunologically invisible. The third³Û Û³ possibility is that there's another target. ³Û Û³ The one thing I found depressing about alternative and conventional ³Û Û³ therapy is that they both totally ignored the phenomenon of "spontaneous³Û Û³ remission" which is perhaps the most natural phenomenon which repeatedly³Û Û³ tells us how to cure terminal disease. "Spontaneous remission" is a term³Û Û³ given to miraculous healings, where people on their death bed 'rise from³Û Û³ the dead' within two to three days without a trace of their disease. ³Û Û³ It's a phenomenon that's been reported in the literature but hardly ever³Û Û³ investigated. ³Û Û³ The data on spontaneous remission strongly suggest that just before a ³Û Û³ person with cancer, heart disease, arthritis or any of the other ³Û Û³ terminal diseases has a spontaneous remission or a cure of their ³Û Û³ disease, they suffer what seems to be a viral or bacterial or some form ³Û Û³ of severe infection. ³Û Û³ This was noticed by a Dr Didot, in France, who noted that the existence ³Û Û³ of syphilis precluded the appearance of cancer. If prostitutes had ³Û Û³ syphilis, they were very unlikely to develop cancer. This doctor ³Û Û³ actually treated 20 cancer patients with syphilis and, of those 20, 14 ³Û Û³ went into total remission. As the syphilis grew, it munched up the ³Û Û³ cancer; the cancer went away. Another three patients did pretty well, ³Û Û³ and a couple of them died of the syphilis. But this was a few hundred ³Û Û³ years ago, and given the choice between "the Big C" and "the Big S"-well³Û Û³ , today we can cure syphilis with a couple of shots of penicillin, or so³Û Û³ I've been told! ³Û Û³ Late last century, Dr William Coley had a patient who had bone cancer ³Û Û³ and developed a severe syphilis or skin infection. As the skin infection³Û Û³ grew, it munched on the bone cancer and the bone cancer disappeared. Dr ³Û Û³ Coley went on to develop what he called "Coley's toxins" and used them ³Û Û³ for many years as a therapy that got quite good results. ³Û Û³ The trouble here is that Dr Coley succumbed to what I call "macho ³Û Û³ medicine". The infection he isolated from the patient, and which cured ³Û Û³ the patient, had remarkable successes in subsequent patients treated ³Û Û³ with the same infection, but he wasn't happy with that. Coley wanted ³Û Û³ something that would do better, so he found a more toxic infection. ³Û Û³ Instead of using the specific Streptococcus strain which he'd isolated ³Û Û³ from the patient, he found a Streptococcus that kills people, reasoning ³Û Û³ that it's more toxic, therefore it will kill more cancer, and therefore ³Û Û³ the chances of cure are better. ³Û Û³ It's been long known that in areas where malaria exists, there's no ³Û Û³ cancer; and when you get rid of malaria, drain the swamps, kill the ³Û Û³ mosquitoes, the cancer rate rises. People who have cancer and who catch ³Û Û³ malaria have a chance of going into remission. Just recently, Dr Henry ³Û Û³ Heimlich [who developed the Heimlich manoeuvre for preventing choking] ³Û Û³ injected a few AIDS patients with malaria and managed to get them into ³Û Û³ some form of remission where they improved and stayed stable at the ³Û Û³ improved level. ³Û Û³ All these observations led me to come up with something I call "nemesis ³Û Û³ theory", which states that for every disease there's an antidisease ³Û Û³ organism which will specifically attack and destroy it. ³Û Û³ This then led to the development of "nemesis therapy", where I make ³Û Û³ extracts of these "nemesis organisms" with which to treat specific ³Û Û³ diseases. ³Û Û³ And how do you find nemesis organisms? Well, you look around. Where ³Û Û³ there's a disease and there's less of another disease, the chances are ³Û Û³ that they're antagonistic to each other. Or, you work on basic levels, ³Û Û³ as I like to do, and do test after test after test to check. ³Û Û³ What I did in the laboratory was get thousands of bottles and place ³Û Û³ leukaemia lymph node tumour biopsies in them. Each bottle had a ³Û Û³ particular organism growing inside it. The one with affinity for the ³Û Û³ cancer actually grabbed hold of the cancer and ate it. This protein ³Û Û³ 'web'-actually, a fungus-shot up and encapsulated the tumour. Within a ³Û Û³ few days, there was a little bit of the cancer left. A couple of weeks ³Û Û³ later, no cancer-just the fungus! ³Û Û³ So what this does is it gives us this new therapeutic modality. This ³Û Û³ nemesis organism can now give us highly specific chemicals that it used ³Û Û³ to kill the cancer, but which can be made so they do not attack any ³Û Û³ other sort of tissue. Two, it can give us tagging complexes which stick ³Û Û³ to the outside of the cancer and make the cancer highly visible to the ³Û Û³ immune system. And three, it can give us a complete range of digestive ³Û Û³ enzymes which are specific for digesting the cancer and the cancer ³Û Û³ alone. So this little baby not just kills the disease, it also cleans up³Û Û³ after itself! ³Û Û³ With use of the tagging system, if the immune system looks at this ³Û Û³ fibrillary network of protein stuck onto the outside of the cancer, it ³Û Û³ doesn't see cancer; it sees a bug and it wants to go after the bug. Now,³Û Û³ you don't inject the bug; you purify the protein extract that sticks to ³Û Û³ the cancer and you inject that. That then sticks to the cancer in the ³Û Û³ body. The body can then see it and recognise it because it's tagged with³Û Û³ bacterial, fungal or viral protein. ³Û Û³ You and I have no trouble getting rid of a cough or a cold in a week or ³Û Û³ two. We can get rid of cancer: make the cancer look like a cough or a ³Û Û³ cold by sticking cough or cold particles on it, and the body will attack³Û Û³ it, destroy it and remove it. ³Û Û³ However, there were instances where patients had a regression several ³Û Û³ months or years after treatment of their tumours with a tagging complex.³Û Û³ This suggested that tagging the cancer was not the be-all and end-all, ³Û Û³ that tagging the cancer cell still didn't cure cancer the disease. There³Û Û³ was another factor at work. ³Û Û³ An interesting observation was made about 20 years ago when leukaemia ³Û Û³ patients were treated by wiping out their bone marrow and then giving ³Û Û³ them somebody else's bone marrow. It was found that the leukaemia would ³Û Û³ invariably recur. And you know how they say how cancer comes back? Well,³Û Û³ the doctor says: "Sorry, Mr Jones; it seems that when I was operating ³Û Û³ on you and I was giving you the chemo and the radio, one cell spilt, and³Û Û³ this one cell hid and then went all over the place and grew again-just ³Û Û³ this one cell, the spilt cell." One cell or a few cells get loose and ³Û Û³ the disease comes back. This may account for some of the cancer ³Û Û³ recurrences, but to try to explain all cancer recurrences that way, the ³Û Û³ medical term for that is "crap"! ³Û Û³ What we know from those leukaemia trials is that they wiped out the ³Û Û³ patient's bone marrow. There was nothing left! They gave him someone ³Û Û³ else's bone marrow. Six months later, the leukaemia came back. Now, if ³Û Û³ it was a leftover cell, then when you check that leukaemia cell you ³Û Û³ should find that it's the same as the leukaemia you treated before the ³Û Û³ patient went into remission, true? It should be the same cell come back.³Û Û³ However, when they ran DNA checks, they found that not only wasn't it ³Û Û³ the same cell, but it belonged to the donor. It was the donor's bone ³Û Û³ marrow that had turned into leukaemia cells! ³Û Û³ This finding has been published in the conventional medical literature, ³Û Û³ and it means that cancer the disease is not cancer the cell. There is ³Û Û³ something in the body of a patient which regenerates and augments cancer³Û Û³ , the cancer cell. And if you don't address that, then you won't get rid³Û Û³ of the disease. ³Û Û³ So there I was, with all these little bottles, cooking up these nemesis ³Û Û³ organisms and tagging them, but something kept showing up over and over ³Û Û³ and over again which was driving me nuts. I would incubate the cancer ³Û Û³ with another organism-say, an E. coli-and I'd find other organisms ³Û Û³ growing when the cancer cells died, that I hadn't put in there. They ³Û Û³ would usually be staphylococcal or streptococcal in appearance. Acid- ³Û Û³ fast bacilli sometimes would show up, depending on what culture medium ³Û Û³ was used and for how long I cultured them. ³Û Û³ Now this is really interesting. What you notice is what some people ³Û Û³ would call "pleomorphism" in progress. A couple of elements would ³Û Û³ develop these elongated rodlike structures, and you could actually see ³Û Û³ a coccal form changing into a rodlike form. Pleomorphism in action. ³Û Û³ I went to my colleagues and said: "Look, why do I keep getting these ³Û Û³ bugs? It's a sterile cancer I'm putting into the bottle, for goodness ³Û Û³ sake. I'm incubating with something completely different, and these bugs³Û Û³ keep showing up." And they said: "Well, Sam, you know what you're like. ³Û Û³ You probably sneezed and contaminated the whole lot!" Then I said: "It's³Û Û³ happened over and over and over again. So it's contamination?" "Yes, ³Û Û³ yes, absolutely." ³Û Û³ A hundred years ago, everybody blamed this contamination as the cause of³Û Û³ cancer. I have the literature. There were thousands of articles written ³Û Û³ on bacteria-bacterial and fungal organisms-being the cause of cancer. ³Û Û³ But, as technology gets more and more advanced, we have to reject what's³Û Û³ obvious; and when we reject what's obvious, the truth becomes very hard ³Û Û³ to find. ³Û Û³ So how could I prove to these people that these organisms are actually ³Û Û³ intricately involved in the cancer process or in the AIDS process? ³Û Û³ The first thing to do is to grow a bunch of them out of some cancer ³Û Û³ cells, inject them into a few animals and see how many animals get ³Û Û³ cancer-and a lot of them do. Because the bug does not kill the animal, ³Û Û³ the animal develops cancer. In a strange way, it actually appears that ³Û Û³ developing the cancer makes the animal live longer. ³Û Û³ Now, let me warp your minds a little bit here. Believe me, what I'm ³Û Û³ about to say to you is just a theory, and it has no bearing at all on ³Û Û³ the efficacy of the therapy, but what if these bugs can't entice an ³Û Û³ immune response? They are contained in the middle of the cancer; the ³Û Û³ body is not doing anything to fight them, and yet they're not spreading.³Û Û³ What's containing them? What if cancer isn't really the enemy? What if ³Û Û³ it's the body's last-chance attempt at getting these bugs and ³Û Û³ localising them in an area so they don't spread and kill us in a hurry? ³Û Û³ What if cancer is actually doing us a favour? Is that why every time we ³Û Û³ fry a cancer lesion with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the whole thing ³Û Û³ then comes back and explodes all over the place because we're actually ³Û Û³ releasing the cause from its entrapment? Just a theory! ³Û Û³ This therapy at the very least can control the disease, and at best can ³Û Û³ cause dramatic, rapid improvement. There are many cases of cancer tumour³Û Û³ reducing to half its size within a week or two. ³Û Û³ For example, fig. 1a shows the mammogram of a breast cancer in a 65-year³Û Û³ -old woman. After 10 days of treatment, the breast is normal (fig. 1b). ³Û Û³ Fig. 2a shows a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a 32-year-old woman. ³Û Û³ After two weeks of treatment, her lymphoma was considerably reduced in ³Û Û³ size (fig. 2b). ["Note" No fig's available]. ³Û Û³ It's unheard of to be able to do that and not have significant die-off ³Û Û³ or toxic effects-and yet they don't exist with this treatment. When you ³Û Û³ follow nature and follow the guidelines of what happens in spontaneous ³Û Û³ remission, Induced Remission Therapy can achieve cures with minimal side³Û Û³ effects. ³Û Û³ I didn't choose the public forum to come here and speak to you today. ³Û Û³ Please understand me: I would much rather be addressing medical ³Û Û³ practitioners, peers, and getting this out not as an alternative ³Û Û³ therapy but as a conventional therapy. I've spent 12 years trying to ³Û Û³ get my research published in the conventional literature, and 12 years ³Û Û³ going from hospital to hospital and being treated like something they'd ³Û Û³ stepped in. ³Û Û³ In light of what I read in the paper today-somebody wrote an article ³Û Û³ condemning this conference-it appears that the message being sent by ³Û Û³ that person is that if the conventional medical establishment in all ³Û Û³ its holiness doesn't agree with a concept or a therapy, then the public ³Û Û³ is just too stupid to be able to understand it fully and evaluate it for³Û Û³ themselves. The attitude is that the public is just so dumb that they ³Û Û³ shouldn't be given the opportunity. Well, my apologies to the author, ³Û Û³ but the greatest fool I know is a blind fool who'll say opinions about ³Û Û³ things he hasn't even bothered experiencing or investigating himself. ³Û Û³ In this "Kevorkian age", as I call it, where people champion the concept³Û Û³ of death with dignity when faced with suffering, pain and disease, I'm ³Û Û³ offering a technology that can end suffering, pain and disease; and I ³Û Û³ pray that the emphasis will shift now from trying to support death with ³Û Û³ dignity to championing life with dignity. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ Part III-Update ³Û Û³ (Charts not available referenced in text) ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ After years of lectures, presentations to peers and public appearances ³Û Û³ as well as numerous radio, television, newspaper and magazine ³Û Û³ appearances, I find that conventional medicine still has little ³Û Û³ awareness of the efficacy of my therapies-as evidenced, for example, in ³Û Û³ the advances achieved using IRT in AIDS remission (see table 1). ³Û Û³ Any doctor can make amazing claims, but independent, unbiased testing is³Û Û³ a credible way to determine the efficacy of a treatment. It would not ³Û Û³ only document the effectiveness of my vaccines but would also stir ³Û Û³ interest in any promising new therapy. ³Û Û³ So I brought case studies of AIDS patients I'd treated to Cedar Sinai ³Û Û³ Medical Center for evaluation. Dr Shlomo Melmed was impressed with the ³Û Û³ results, and at his suggestion I sent samples of my vaccine to the AIDS ³Û Û³ and Immune Disorders Center's Division of Infectious Diseases for an ³Û Û³ vitro analysis. The clinical analysis performed by Dr. Eric Daar ³Û Û³ indicated that out of the 22 samples tested, 20 of them showed 99% ³Û Û³ efficacy in neutralising HIV-1. ³Û Û³ This analysis was followed up with an independent evaluation by ³Û Û³ University of Southern California clinical laboratories. This involved ³Û Û³ the electron microscopy of blood samples taken by a control group ³Û Û³ infected with HIV. This group yielded over 100 photos that demonstrate ³Û Û³ the attack, death, disintegration and purge of the HIV virus. The PhD ³Û Û³ who conducted this test remarked that "the number of intact viral ³Û Û³ particles has declined for each patient following vaccine administration³Û Û³ at a level approximating 50%". ³Û Û³ Examples of this progression from attack to purge are shown in figures ³Û Û³ 3a to 3d. The first electron microscope photograph (fig. 3a) shows the ³Û Û³ fragmenting cell full of HIV particles. The next photo (fig. 3b) shows ³Û Û³ the cell three days later, with improved stability and decreased viral ³Û Û³ particle count. The third photo (fig. 3c) was taken six days after ³Û Û³ vaccine treatment and shows fewer viral particles per cell. The final ³Û Û³ photo (fig. 3d), taken nine days after therapy, shows no intracellular ³Û Û³ viral particles and the now-visible cell nucleus. ³Û Û³ This evidence from the cellular level demonstrates that AIDS and cancer ³Û Û³ can be attacked genetically without causing significant damage to the ³Û Û³ healthy, fast-multiplying cells needed to maintain a healthy life. ³Û Û³ You'd think that the media, the medical community and others would be ³Û Û³ alerted to the fantastic results of this treatment. ³Û Û³ It's hard to imagine that institutes entrusted with the public faith and³Û Û³ public funds to discover and research new therapies would delay the ³Û Û³ application of life-saving technology and treatments. It was my hope ³Û Û³ that knowledge of IRT would be disseminated and the FDA would allow the ³Û Û³ practice of this therapy upon the countless AIDS and cancer victims who ³Û Û³ had little hope otherwise. But these doctors and medical institutes ³Û Û³ denied having any affiliation with me. They denied the impressive test ³Û Û³ data and even denied knowing me-until forced to declare otherwise before³Û Û³ a judge in a civil legal action in San Diego, CA (case no. 700406). It ³Û Û³ was their incomprehensible behaviour that led me to bring a lawsuit, if ³Û Û³ for no other reason than to make these test results a record of the ³Û Û³ court, but I had to pursue these medical organisations so as to have ³Û Û³ access to further laboratory evidence. ³Û Û³ I've always resented my work being associated under the catch-all phrase³Û Û³ "alternative medicine". My treatment involves an extremely focused ³Û Û³ hybrid of what is considered "conventional medicine". However, in my ³Û Û³ pursuit of any form of therapy that could augment or even supersede my ³Û Û³ own findings, I've always been interested in alternatives as opposed to ³Û Û³ conventional, toxic and often barbaric treatments. ³Û Û³ Although there is hope of finding other practitioners who have medical ³Û Û³ information to offer, I have yet to find any breakthroughs that would ³Û Û³ complement my own. ³Û Û³ I've been appalled to find alternative health organisations that sell ³Û Û³ juice drinks, vitamin C shots and laetrile powders to desperate patients³Û Û³ -products costing hundreds and often thousands of dollars yet only ³Û Û³ costing a few cents to make. ³Û Û³ It was in this spirit that I made this offer: US$100,000 to any ³Û Û³ "alternative" therapy that can prove 10 cases of full cancer remission. ³Û Û³ Additionally, I made this offer to the sceptical world of conventional ³Û Û³ medicine: US$100,000 to any reputable medical organisation that will ³Û Û³ test and publish the results of my AIDS and cancer vaccines. ³Û Û³ No one has yet come forward to make a claim on these offers. ³Û Û³ With the realisation that Induced Remission Therapy can offer favourable³Û Û³ results now, and with the assistance of additional resources, medical ³Û Û³ industry professionals who are truly dedicated to curing disease, and ³Û Û³ have the ability to catalogue, store and culture autogenous vaccines on ³Û Û³ a large scale, could and would alter medical treatment as recognised ³Û Û³ today. Historically, institutions are resistant to change. Change comes ³Û Û³ slowly. So for any promising therapy to be accepted into the mainstream ³Û Û³ of medical practice, this would require a paradigm shift in medical ³Û Û³ science as we know it today. ³Û Û³ IRT deals with maladies at the genetic level. Indeed, it is the only ³Û Û³ therapy now in application that concentrates on disease at this level. ³Û Û³ The matrix of many diseases is at the genetic level, so many types of ³Û Û³ illness can be treated with IRT. ³Û Û³ Genetic correction is the only hope for achieving a cure in such disease³Û Û³ conditions as AIDS and cancer, and starkly contrasts the available toxic³Û Û³ and inferior modalities that attack disease mechanisms and symptoms ³Û Û³ while leaving a damaged blueprint. ³Û Û³ The best demonstration of this remarkable ability can be seen in the ³Û Û³ cases where HIV virus is genetically removed from the cell nucleus. Not ³Û Û³ only is the body purged of the disease, but it is able to repair damage ³Û Û³ suffered during the course of the illness. This opens up a new field of ³Û Û³ cellular regeneration never before possible. ³Û Û³ The capacity to reverse age-and disease-related DNA damage opens a new ³Û Û³ world of therapeutic opportunity and almost limitless application. ³Û Û³ ... ³Û ÛÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´Û %%T%%%H%%%E%%%%%%%%E%%%Y%%%E%%%%%%%%O%%%F%%%%%%%%A%%%%%%%%S%%%T%%%O%%%R%%%M%% Û³ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ Reference Notes: ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ ¥ For further details, information, Lecture tapes, etc, on Dr Chachoua's³Û Û³ Induced Remission Therapy, phone (213) 655 0271. ³Û Û³ ¥ Dr Chachoua's book, The Challenge, The Promise & The Cure ³Û Û³ ¥ Contact Independent Medical Research, Suite 401, 135 Macquarie Street,³Û Û³ Sydney NSW 2000, Australia, phone +61 (0)2 9247 5366, fax +61 (0)2 9247 ³Û Û³ 5453. ³Û Û³ ³Û ÛÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´Û %%T%%%H%%%E%%%%%%%%E%%%Y%%%E%%%%%%%%O%%%F%%%%%%%%A%%%%%%%%S%%%T%%%O%%%R%%%M%% Û³ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ³Û (_ _)( ___)( _ ) /__\ / __) )( )__) )(_)( /(__)\ \__ \ (__) (____)(_____)(__)(__)(___/ ,, W () |->< | )(\_v [Isù03 End]
