Dear Group,

 

Here is a copy of a letter That I ran across from Irwin Stone to

Albert Szent-Gyorgi about Dr. Stones observations of vitamin C on

cancer in his clinical practice. It was written in 1982. Vitamin C

was already believed to be very benificial in the treatment of

cancer, but is important in the amout of c that could be taken if

needed, and held promise.

 

Almost all of the people involved in vitamin C research were old men

at the time and many have died since.

 

Just some observations about when real scientific evidence is shunt

aside because it doesn't fit in the profit model. I mean who is going

to make any money if people can get well (And usually in a better

manner.) at home by taking a pill that costs two cents.

 

1903 discivery of vitamin - 100 years ago.

1937 - 63 years ago Albert Szent-Gyorgyi won nobel prize for work

done on identifying it's use in th e body.

 

Many Dr./clinicians in the 30's, 40's and 50's used fought the

established medical industry to show that vitamin C could cure polio,

pnuemonia, and many other serious diseases. 70, 60, 50 years ago.

 

1970 Linus Pauling (2 times single nobel prize winner) writes a bbok

about vitamin C and gets some semi - mass distribution. 30 years ago.

 

Shortly thereafter writes publishes book on vitamin C and cancer.

 

 

There have been thousands upon thousands of studies published about

the benificial effects of vitamin C on disease. And many more which

could not get published.

 

And still today the PR machine rolls on. I read one last year that

made all the newspapers and tv that said vitamin C causes cancer.

How about that.

 

Of all of the established vested interests none wants this to be

true. So in the interests of business many millions not only die from

not getting this treatment, but many millions more are killed with

bad profittable drugs. Why not, this is the American way. To hell

with people and lives and desroying the quality of those lives. But

in the name of protecting business giving preferable treatment always

to corporations.

 

 

The politicions and government agencies were established to hold

these interests in check and look out for the good of the people at

large.

 

When they should be holding these corporations feet to the fire, to

keep them semi- honest, they are the very toadies who line up to

promote and in essence sell your interests away.

 

And all the time the PR machine rolls on. If someone says any thing

about this then they are unpatriotic. Just simply unamerican.

 

In my life, I have rarely been surprised at the stupidy of the US

public, but over the last 20 years or so it has grown to such levels

to be truly astonishing.

 

I will not go on, but it is not limited to vitamins or

medical/pharmacuetical industry. It can been seen in most aspcts of

our life today, whether it energy, banking, insurance. They just

manipulate the game to the point that there is no competition, just

your only option. All the while doing it in the name of " free

enterprise "

 

Now I will probably reap the whirlwind of all that PR effort to kill

any real thought, real free enterprise, or real free choice.

 

JMHO,

 

Frank

 

 

 

 

The 1982 Letter from Irwin Stone to Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

(Although Dr. Fred Klenner first speculated (1971) that 100 to 300

grams per day of intravenous Vitamin C for up to 3 months could cure

cancer, the first actual use (1979) of such heroic amounts of C is

described in this letter.)

 

 

(Note: Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi won the 1937 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for

his discovery of Vitamin C.)

Dear Albert,

 

It is over a year since I last wrote you. Now, after 7 more published

papers on the genetics of scurvy, I want to bring you up to date.

 

Enclosed is a transcript of my latest paper, presented 26 June

1982, " Scurvy, the Most Misunderstood Epidemic Disease in 20th

Century Medicine " , Reprint No.120-T, which I thought would interest

you because of its implications in cancer research.

 

Because of the poor and inadequate full correction of the human

defective gene for GLO (too little daily ascorbate intake), every

cancer victim was born scorbutic, after a 9-month intrauterine bout

with scurvy. This poor correction, due to grossly inadequate maternal

daily intakes of ascorbate, continues throughout the lifetime of the

victims, exposing them constantly to the deleterious physiological

insults of Chronic Subclinical Scurvy (the CSS Syndrome). This is a

large factor in the genesis of the cancer. Every cancer victim being

treated by orthodox oncologists suffers also from a bad case of the

CSS Syndrome. When the orthodox cut, burn, and poison techniques

prove too much, the cancer victims do not die solely from the cancer

lesion, but are pushed into their grave by the exacerbated

uncorrected scurvy that is always present. We and other workers in

this field haven't really realized the enormous size of daily dosage

of ascorbate required for therapy and survival in cancer.

 

I would like to tell you of an unusual cancer case history that I

believe could act as a prototype for future cancer therapy and

survival. A 44 year old chemist and patent attorney, a friend of

mine, Joe Kieninger, in May 1973, was diagnosed as having prostatic

cancer and received the usual high risk surgery and radiation

therapy. In November 1977 a bone scan indicated the cancer had

metastasized to the pelvic bone. At that time he was

declared " terminal " with about 1 year to live. In January 1978, he

started taking laetrile and 2 grams of ascorbic acid a day. After 10

months the cancer was still growing slowly and he modified his

therapy to ascorbate orally at 24 grams per day. The cancer continued

to grow and a new pelvic tumor was found as well as a tumor in the

lung. In May 1979 he increased his ascorbate intake to 80 grams per

day and at this level there was no cancer growth for the next 6

months. During the past 2½ years he had the cancer under control and

it grew only when his ascorbate intakes were less than 80 grams a

day, or he went off his diet (no beef, candy, etc.) but stayed at 80

grams a day. During this time one pelvic tumor and rib cage tumor

regressed. His primary pelvic bone tumor has not grown for 16 months

and several times his lung tumors have not grown for 3 month periods.

Since he began taking 80 grams a day in 1979, his well-being has been

excellent. He says he feels great most of the time, has also been

able to continue working every day and lives a fairly normal life of

the years since November 1978 when orthodox medicine said he would be

dead. Visually he looks more like an athlete than a terminal cancer

patient. Recently he has been feeling poorly because of some unusual

excessive stresses. His wife broke her ankle and he had to take care

of her and his home in addition to work and also underwent surgery.

In the last few weeks he has been able to improve his well-being by

increasing his ascorbate intake to 130 to 150 grams per day!! He has

been taking oral doses every hour of 5 to 10 grams of a mixture of

nine parts sodium ascorbate plus one part ascorbic acid dissolved in

water. These doses are well tolerated and within " bowel tolerance "

and he has had no trouble from diarrhea except just lately when he

had to reduce the 150 grams a day to 130 grams.

 

I believe Joe's case is a classic and a good demonstration that if

sufficient ascorbate is given to fully conteract all the incident

stresses, then the cancer can be controlled. If given early enough in

this disease, then cancer may no longer be a problem. Up to now we

just haven't realized how big these daily controlling doses have to

be.

 

Joe occasionally goes over to see Dr. Barry Saltzman of our local

Holistic Medical Group for a booster IV shot of sodium ascorbate. Dr.

Saltzman ran some ascorbate determinations on Joe's blood and came up

with the highest blood levels I ever saw. At one point it was 35

mg%!! Our so-called " normal " but scorbutic population averages 1 mg%

or less, our kidney threshold is 1.4 mg%.

 

Last year Joe also went to see Dr. Ewan Cameron of Scotland when he

was visiting at the Linus Pauling Institute in Palo Alto, California.

Dr. Cameron was astounded at his 35 mg% blood values. In the

published Cameron and Pauling cancer work, they only used a maximum

dose of 20 grams of ascorbate a day.

 

I would like to see a crash ascorbate program started on terminal

cancer patients using doses in the ranges found by Joe Keininger to

keep his cancer under control. Since these " terminals " have been

abandoned by orthodox medicine, they have nothing to lose but their

ill health. If we could add years of survival and fairly normal

living as Joe did, then it might be an incentive for orthodox

oncologists to properly use ascorbate in the prevention and treatment

of cancer. Maybe your NFCR could start the ball rolling on this

terminal cancer salvage program.

 

Proper funding for work of this type is always a problem and your

Foundation probably needs funds just as mine and Linus Pauling's

does. To help the Linus Pauling Institute with its fund raising

drives, I've agreed to autograph copies of my book, THE HEALING

FACTOR, " VITAMIN C " AGAINST DISEASE, to be given to any donor

contributing $100. or more. I would be happy to make available to

NFCR, reprints of my scientific papers for this purpose such as the

enclosed Reprint No.120-T on " Scurvy " or Reprint No.85, " The Genetics

of Scurvy and The Cancer Problem " , or any other of about 50 reprints

listed in the enclosed list, if you want to use them in your NFCR

Research Review. Please let me know how I can help.

 

I'm sorry this letter became so long. With kind regards and best

wishes,

 

Sincerely yours
