the January 1998 Issue of JACM I presented an article setting out what I believed to be the basis for a quantum leap forward in the application of nutritional cancer therapy. I made the case that there was every reason to modify the nutritional cancer therapies of the past by adding a welter of new measures based upon nutritional and biochemical research during the years 1960 to the present. At the same time those formerly used measures that have not stood the test of time should be dropped. The strategy that I outlined then has been put into practice over a two-year period (Dec. 1997 to Nov. 1999 inclusive). The initial results have been so extremely encouraging that all those concerned in the project consider that the details of the new approach should be made public knowledge without delay.
Introduction
It is my firmly held view that the nutritional approach should take its place in a short time among the general nationally available treatments. Orthodox oncologists seem set to fight that concept all the way. The reason they give (if any is offered at all) is that nutritional treatment is
“not proven”. Since it appears churlish to oppose any reasonable call for proof
the matter is supposed to end there. However, that belies the fact that the only people likely to have access to the very large funds needed for convincing clinical trials are the orthodox oncologists and they are also the only people likely to obtain the necessary ethical approvals for planned trials. They therefore have the power to simply block any trials of nutritional treatment, just because its underlying medical philosophy clashes with orthodoxy. Perhaps the only way to overcome this difficulty is to demonstrate the effects of nutritional therapy in those patients who have no orthodox treatment currently on offer, or who opt to eschew orthodox therapy for reasons connected with their own personal belief systems. When these people make their own personal choice to apply nutritional therapy, it must be absolutely right for the world to wait and watch. The role of the Nutritional Therapist is then to advise them what range of nutritional measures they might employ to try to control or stop the growth of their tumour. The people who proceed on this basis know full well that they are
intellectually “out on a limb” and that the treatment they propose to employ does not hav
e the approval of their hospital consultants and has not yet been subjected to any formal proof. Nonetheless, given their situation they have little or no other constructive option apart from that of just waiting to die. In human terms their positivity is to be heartily applauded, and as will be shown below, may lead to results that are beyond expectations. It is stressed that all the patients who have tried my therapy are people who have come forward spontaneously to request it. Since all the information on the therapy itself is being provided free of charge by the Nutritional Cancer Therapy Trust, there is a transparent absence of any financial incentive
on anyone’s part to promote its use.
