Dear Reader,

 

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

 

While one individual will fall when confronted with

such power, millions united as one voice will not.

We are engaged in a fight for our liberties. But for

every one person who is aware of this assault on our

freedoms,there are thousands more who are not. If you

are not willing to ring the the bell of warning, who will?

 

Read the story below, and make a decision about

how this story affects you, your family and friends.

What are you willing to do about it? Remember,

united we stand, divided we fall.

The Charles Pixley Story

The Battle Over 714X

 

Charles Pixley was recently released from a federal prison camp outside

of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. His crime? He had made available to the

American public knowledge of and access to 714X, a homeopathic

camphor compound which is available to the Canadian public and is

regarded as a highly successful therapy against cancer. After a lengthy

court battle, which left him financially ruined, Pixley was sentenced to

nineteen years in federal prison.

 

Even though he is a medical layman, Pixley's story is similar to that of

other scientists and physicians who sought to defeat disease outside the

accepted conventions of orthodox medicine. The faces and names

change, but the story is the same. A physician, scientist or researcher

seeks to develop or make available a treatment for cancer or some other

deadly disease. These are sought out by patients who are in the

advanced stages of their disease, whose bank accounts have been

drained by the medical establishment, and who despair of finding a cure

in those realms. As alternatives to the established therapies are

presented to them, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

sweeps in, seizing research materials, patient lists and all assets in a

fit of Gestapo-like fury. Professional and financial ruin and sometimes

incarceration are all that is left for those who make treatment alternatives

available to the ill.

 

This was the experience of Charles Pixley. In 1989 microbiologist Gaston

Naessens was acquitted of charges in Canada that he contributed to the

death of a terminal cancer patient he had introduced to 714X. After that

momentous three-year court battle, Naessens' camphor-based

compound was made available for legal prescription by the Canadian

Department of Health and Welfare. According to Pixley, it has since

been used with varying but significant degrees of success by over

100,000 terminal cancer patients without one instance of side effect.

It is also inexpensive.

 

THE STORY BEGINS

 

In 1990 Pixley, his wife and an associate started Writers and Research,

Inc. in Rochester, N.Y. for the purpose of promoting specific works they

considered to be of immediate and practical benefit to the public in

regards to the fields of business, environment, health and socio-politics.

As they began to study the fields of health and medicine they were

excited to learn that successful therapies for cancer actually existed, but

were being withheld from the public. They then formed the Institutional

Review Board (IRB) for the exclusive promotion of the research and

discoveries of Gaston Naessens and 714X, the homeopathic compound

he formulated.

 

Pixley told The WINDS, " One-hundred percent of the people we were

working with were final stage terminal according to the standard

oncologist. They had already completed their chemotherapy and

radiation and now were in a state where there was no more money for

them. They were at death's door as a result of the [orthodox] therapy. "

 

Pixley states that from the inception of the IRB in April of 1992, they

were visited regularly by the FDA who " requested and received copies of

all available research, toxicology studies, spectrographic chemical

evaluations, rat studies, patient histories, books, tapes, and samples of

the 714X. " Even though they cooperated fully with the FDA, in 1995 their

office was raided. Computers, books, tapes, business records and

patients' personal medical records were seized.

 

After several attempts, the U.S. Attorney succeeded in having a Grand

Jury indict him and his corporation as co-conspirators for " conspiring to

defraud the United States by importation of an unapproved new drug, " a

felony under Title 18 U.S.C. 321. Pixley later determined through the

Freedom of Information Act that this FDA regulation had never been

published in the Federal Register and, therefore, was not promulgated

according to the law. This did not seem to matter. Pixley was ordered

into Federal Court in April of 1996.

 

As a defense Pixley planned to expose the evident policy of the FDA to

suppress life-saving therapies, both to protect the profits of the

medical/pharmaceutical cartels and to carry out a larger agenda of

population reduction. The prosecution " filed a 'motion in limine', which was

designed to prevent me from saying anything or putting up any defense

whatsoever, " Pixley told The WINDS. " Even though they didn't know what

my dense was going to be, they had an inkling that I was going to start

accusing the government of genocide " before the jury. " Their goal was to

put e away no matter what. " Pixley was found guilty and sentenced to

nineteen years in prison. His sentence was later reduced on appeal to a

year and a month, partly, he feels, because he was allowed to present

arguments detailing the government's suppression of non-orthodox

therapies.

 

During his interview with The WINDS, Pixley did not dwell on his trial

and imprisonment or even his financial devastation and lifetime status of

" convicted felon. " He speaks and writes mainly of the medical monopoly

and its protectors at the FDA, as well as the thousands of cancer

patients that are denied alternatives. " In my view, " he writes, " the ones

who are being punished are the American people who are denied access

to life-saving therapies. "

 

THE MEDICINE WAR

 

Pixley states that until early this century homeopathy, eclectic

medicine and native herbalism (naturopathic medicine) were the dominant

therapies in the United States. Up to 65 percent of the population received

treatments from these sources. Homeopathic medicine is perhaps the

best known of these alternatives today. Homeopathy, which essentially

supports the body's natural healing processes, was developed by Dr.

Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann in the late 1750's. This doctor

also coined the term " allopathy " , which describes the established

orthodox medicine today.

 

According to Pixley, allopathy focuses on disease as an external invader

to be attacked with drugs, radiation and invasive procedures. The disease

is the focus rather than the imbalances in the patient's body. Allopathic

prescription drugs are developed from active agents found in animals or

plants (recognized by homeopaths as beneficial in their natural state),

extracted from their natural source, and then synthesized and chemically

altered to increase potency. In their unnatural state these drugs become

poisonous, producing " side effects " and weakening the body's natural

healing mechanisms. Naessens' 714X is formulated to bolster the body's

defenses as opposed to conventional drugs, radiation and chemotherapy

which weaken them.

 

Pixley told The WINDS that in the early 20's the giant Rockefeller trust

took over the American Medical Association (AMA) which then issued a

report attacking homeopathic medicine. The AMA, along with insurance

and pharmaceutical companies, promoted allopathic medicine because

its scientific nature is easier to dominate and profit from. Medical

insurance became exclusively devoted to allopathy and political lobbies

brought government support. Over time the alternatives lost significant

income and public recognition.

 

The resulting monolith that has evolved during the rest of this century

astounds Pixley and others like him. The FDA, an agency with federal

police powers, is dominated by the massive allopathic drug and medical

complex which uses those police powers to enforce their orthodoxy on

the rest of the country. Said Pixley, " Regarding the FDA, you're dealing

with an agency that is out of control. You're dealing with a paradigm

mentality. You're dealing with billions and billions of dollars that are sunk

into the research mill. You're dealing with companies that take the

results of their drug testing -- phase one, phase two and phase three

trials -- to the FDA, and the panels that review that paperwork are chaired

by members of the board [of the submitting drug companies]. The official

at the FDA many times is from the [drug] company, who is now at the

FDA, so there is a revolving door policy. "

 

LEGAL QUACKERY AND THE POISON CURE

 

Since President Nixon declared " war on cancer " in 1971, the United

States has spent tens of billions of taxpayer dollars on cancer research,

and is it any wonder that some people have become outraged at

allopathy's abysmal failure to find a cure? After twenty-seven years the

only treatments offered are radiation, chemotherapy and surgery, two

which are cancer causing and all of which are devastating to the body's

efforts to heal itself. The long-standing survival rate of cancer patients

using orthodox therapies remains at 3%, yet, efforts to find alternatives

still excite the rage of the FDA Gestapo.

 

The abysmal failure of cancer research may be found in the amount of

money spent on cancer. Pixley quotes Health United States, a

government publication which reports that 2,500,000 people in the U.S.

die every year from cancer, a number that is on the rise. Another writer

claims that the number of people dying from cancer every year is

exceeded by those making a comfortable living, mostly at taxpayer

expense, in the cancer research industry.

 

In addition to the pain, suffering and loss of productivity inflicted by

each case of cancer, there is also a lot of money involved. Considering

that treatment costs $80,000 to $160,000 per person over the past

twenty years, the cost adds up to $200,000,000 to $370,000,000 per

year and 50,000,000 lives, or a total of $4 trillion to $7.5 trillion. The

entire medical industry represents one-seventh of the total American

GNP at one trillion dollars per year with revenues for all parties involved

with cancer at $400 billion annually.

 

Pixley pointed out that allopathy accuses healing alternatives such as

homeopathy of offering a false hope to cancer patients, but all allopathy

offers is the same old radiation, chemo and surgery treatments that

produce the same dismal results. If a drug produced by a major drug

company causes death or major side effects (this has happened many

times), you will never see a company officer, research assistant or

testing lab subjected to a raid, indictment or jail term. This treatment is

reserved for the competition which may offer a much better therapy but

threatens the profits of the cancer industry.

 

THE QUESTION OF MOTIVATION

 

" Informed consent " laws require physicians to advise their patients of

the available therapies so they may make an informed choice. Without a

doubt, there is a conspiracy to exclude non-allopathic therapies from the

selection. Like many other diseases, cancer is too profitable for a cure to

be permitted. Arms manufacturers in the United States increase their

wealth and power by influencing a policy of war in the name of peace. It

seems evident that the " war on drugs " is perpetuated not to eliminate the

drug problem, but to enhance the prison industrial complex, steal private

property and incarcerate and enslave the surplus population.

 

It appears that the drug/medical aegis pursues the same cynical course

in the " war on cancer " , the apparent goal not being a cure or effective

treatment but a perpetuation of disease for profit. It has been alleged that

the social policy of the brave new world order requires a reduction of

population. The tremendous volume of wealth flowing into the

medical/pharmaceutical research cartel has created a massive health

care complex that possesses, like some great beast, a keen instinct for

survival. Both social policy and hunger for corporate profit have combined

to create a system that loots the public, either directly or through tax

subsidy, and often creates a " final solution " as its final product.

 

With a sense of irony, Pixley noted that synchronously to the day of his

trial the Second and Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeal ruled that " doctor

assisted suicide " is within our constitutional right. As this story was

bring prepared, Paul Harvey announced that a study published in the New

England Journal of Medicine last April reports that six percent of

physicians surveyed assisted patients in committing suicide, either in

administering a lethal injection or in writing a prescription that would do

it. (Paul Harvey, ABC News, 8-12-98). The trends in medically-induced

death are accelerating at an astonishing pace.

 

The FDA and the pharmaceutical funded " anti-quackery " groups claim to

be protecting the public from charlatans and snake oil salesmen. While it

may seem reasonable to do this, what the government has really done is

remove all freedom from the individual to study the alternatives and then

choose the therapy he/she deems best for his/her own body. Both

information and access to alternatives are blocked by the police powers

of the FDA, leaving most people the choice between allopathic medicine

or traveling abroad for treatment.

 

While it is true there are alternatives that may not be effective and

even harmful, and that " snake oil salesmen " undoubtedly exist, no real or

alleged threat justifies removing the freedom of the individual to choose

for him/herself, putting everyone's health under the control of a group of

self-appointed medical oligarchs. This group of profit-mongers are the real

snake oil salesmen.

 

WHAT IS 714X ?

 

Pixley stated that 714X is not a panacea. It is merely a part of a

" holistic therapy " which may include " specific proteolytic enzymes with a

detoxifying diet, vitamin-mineral supplements and a strict avoidance of

deadly therapies. " He emphasizes that people cannot be standardized

and must inform themselves as to what is best for them.

 

Even though many patients who turned to 714X were in the terminal

stages of cancer, there were a significant number who experienced

reversals in their disease. " At that stage the conservative estimate is

twelve percent long-term survival, but realistically it's more like fifty

percent, " Pixley said.

 

Near the end of his interview with The WINDS Pixley gave a definitive

overview of FDA policy. He said:

 

" Here is something [714X] that is proven and known for twenty years to

reverse cancer. Sometimes terminal cancer is eliminated in ninety days.

Rather than showing me how to get this approved [by the FDA] because

it is such a wonderful thing, they make it so difficult. They first threaten

you. If you don't obey, they send the FDA police and then if you don't

comply, they indict you.

 

" The FDA should be proactive. If there is a cure, they should do

everything in their power to make sure the American public has it.

When the FDA covers it up or blocks it, that's genocide. "
