- GARY NULL:
- Now here's the paradox. Why would you give cancer cell injections
- if you were absolutely of the belief that they would be rejected?
- There would be no purpose to the study. So, if you're trying to see
- if they're going to be rejected and you've already said: "Well
- they're going to be rejected," then what's the purpose of
- experimenting on people? Clearly, there was no data that was
- absolutely firm that cancer cells would be rejected because there
- had been no scientific studies when this study was done, that I
- could find (and I researched the literature carefully) that
- showed that an immune suppression would automatically cause immune
- over-stimulation and rejection of foreign bodies. At a certain
- point, when the body is debilitated, it does not have the same
- rejection capability. Now, today we know that, and back then they
- should've known it, or they should've at least allowed for that.
- But they didn't.
-
- And now he's saying that the only drawback of using [injecting]
- cancer cells is somehow a "phobia and ignorance that surrounds the
- word `cancer'"? That's like saying that environmentalists are
- phobic about acid rain and the ozone layer; what "ignorant and
- phobic" people. Oh, really? There is not a scientist in the world
- who can accurately tell you anything about anything, because we
- don't know anything. We only suppose, because there are no absolutes.
- There are so many things dumped into the ocean, and dumped into
- our bodies, and dumped into the Earth, and dumped into the air,
- that the best we could do -- and people with some sense of humility
- will -- is to, at least, acknowledge that there's more of what we
- don't know than what we do. Therefore, we must keep an open mind.
- And therefore, for people who would offer some sense of caution
- about cancer .... to call them ignorant or merely phobic is to deny,
- intellectually, their right to have an opinion. And, of course, it
- immediately sets up as a target anyone who would challenge the idea.
-
- As an example, why is it that no one in the history of Memorial
- Sloan-Kettering [Hospital], to my knowledge, has ever had ANY
- success comparable to Doctor Joseph Issels with a 17 percent cure
- rate for terminal cancer. I believe, unless I'm mistaken, Sloan-
- Kettering's cure rate with terminal cancer is less than 1 percent.
- Well, if Doctor Joseph Issels, the greatest living cancer expert in
- the world, or to my knowledge, the greatest that the world has ever
- seen ..... if he's able to have that kind of cure rate with TERMINAL
- cancer of all types, from mesotheliomias to astercytomas[?] to
- lymphomas (and it's been independently documented in three separate
- reviews of his work: one by Professor Anderson, and another one by
- Doctor Autier[?] at Leyden[?] University, and a third by a medical
- team from the BBC. These were studies done over a period of twenty
- years. And his files have been opened, and are methodical) then you
- would think that a man who has got a different understanding of
- cancer -- that it's a WHOLE body process, and not a localized tumor;
- and that it's caused on two different levels: the primary immune
- and what is called the cellular immune. He gets rid of local
- infection -- primarily, local foci infection.
-
- None of these other institutions have the slightest idea of this
- approach. They see cancer as up to two hundred different types of
- diseases, each cancer being a different cancer. So, you certainly
- should leave the assumption open that ignorance in the understanding
- of cancer -- until you've cured it, until you've reduced its
- incidence -- must be shared by everyone.
-
- And for anyone to write or to presuppose that THEY should be the
- people guiding the war on cancer, when they have not decreased the
- incidence, which the Cancer Establishment has NOT done, and they
- have not decreased the mortality rate, which is still rising ....
- It makes you wonder how these are the people running our war on cancer!
- I'll continue. And I quote:
-
- "I have no hesitation in suggesting these studies, since our
- experience to date includes over three hundred healthy
- recipients and over three hundred cancer patients. And for two
- years, we have been doing the tests routinely on all post-
- operative patients on our gynecology service as a measure of
- their immunological status."
-
- Now think of this. He's already saying that he's not going to
- hesitate in doing this because he's already done six hundred people,
- three hundred of whom were healthy people. And he's been giving
- women these injections after surgery. Then he asks the following --
- and this is the catch. I'm reading verbatim:
-
- "You asked me if I obtained permission from our patients before
- doing these studies. We do not do so at Memorial or James Ewing
- Hospital, since we now regard it as routine study. We do get
- signed permits from our volunteers at Ohio State Penitentiary,
- but this is because of the law-oriented personalities of these
- men rather than any medical reasons."
-
- By the way, that's not the case today. It's necessary, by law, to
- get informed consent. But that gives you an idea that we had, not
- that long ago, people who could have injections without their
- knowledge -- without their consent to what they were getting --
- as "routine" [practice]. I'm going on:
-
- "Collaboration in this research effort would involve no expense
- to the Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital or its patients, since
- these studies are supported by a grant from the United States
- Public Health Service and the AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY."
-
- I think it is important that, before you offer money to the American
- Cancer Society, you ask them: Are you the organization that creates
- a black-list called "The Unproven Methods of Cancer [Treatment]
- Black-List", to which you've added Doctor Revici and Doctor
- Berzinsky[sp] who just published two important scientific papers in
- an international cancer syposium on polypeptides and neopeptides,
- and who is getting very good results in anti-HIV activity, and who
- has published over a hundred papers, and who is now into stage-three
- clinical trials under an I.N.D. application; are you the American
- Cancer Society which wrote a devastatingly INACCURATE and terribly
- biased tirade against Doctor Joseph Issels; you, an organization
- that sets itself up as higher than high, you're an organization
- that FUNDED the implantation of live cancer cells in people ??
-
- Think of that. Well that's a matter of FACT. The American Cancer
- Society should be held morally responsible for the acts of its past
- because it has never apologized for that. And it still maintains
- its "Unproven Methods Black-List", which I consider reprehensible
- in the extreme, and I would never support the American Cancer
- Society on any level, because of that. It is denying us freedom of
- choice by being dishonest about who is making the greatest advances.
- And the greatest advances have not come from Sloan-Kettering; they
- have not come from Memorial; they have not come from M.D. Anderson.
- They make an honest effort. And I'm sure they do. But the best
- advances have come from people like Doctors Burton, Berzinsky,
- Livingston, and others whom they would ridicule.
