CORETTA SCOTT KING'S DEATH TRIGGERS SHUTDOWN OF MEXICAN CLINIC

 

The revelation last week that Coretta Scott King, widow of slain civil

rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., had died in a Mexican cancer

clinic, and that the clinic had subsequently been shut down by Mexican

authorities, has once again focused public attention on the phenomenon

of the Tijuana-area clinics and the unusual cancer treatments they

provide.

 

My new report, " Mexican Cancer Clinics in the Era of Evidence-Based

Medicine, " presents a thorough analysis of the history, therapeutic

philosophies, and current status of approximately two dozen Mexican

clinics, and examines in great detail the criticisms that have been

leveled against them and their operators by US medical authorities and

the mainstream media. This 40-page report is arguably the most complete

discussion of the Mexican clinic phenomenon, from the point of view of

evidence-based medicine, yet written.

 

For decades, these clinics that have provided American and other

international patients with alternative treatments for cancer and other

chronic, degenerative diseases. Yet the treatments they provide, and

their very existence, are now threatened as never before. In addition to

giving an overview of their activities, I provide suggestions for reform

that, if implemented, would help bring the Tijuana area clinics into the

world of 21st century scientific medicine.

 

Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD, the famed orthomolecular physician, has read this

new report and states:

 

" Dr. Moss has written a superb report on the Mexican alternative

medicine clinics. But such alternative clinics for treating cancer would

be unnecessary if conventional oncology were doing a proper job. As it

is, sick and dying patients feel driven to seek treatment at facilities

in another country. The vast majority of patients who make these

journeys do so either because they are in a sense refugees from failed

conventional approaches, or because they seek specific treatments that

are not available in their home country. The role of big government in

attempting to discourage such " medical tourism " and ultimately to

prevent access to alternative treatments is thoroughly examined in this

excellent report. "

(In case you are unfamiliar with Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD, FRCP-C, he is a

Canadian psychiatrist well known for his use of " orthomolecular

medicine " in the treatment of diseases such as cancer. He was formerly of Psychiatric Research of the province of Saskatchewan and is

the author of hundreds of peer-reviewed articles. In 1955, he discovered

that niacin successfully controlled elevated cholesterol levels.)

 

David Hess, PhD, professor and chairperson of the Department of Science

and Technology Studies, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, and

an expert on the sociology of cancer treatments writes:

 

" For over thirty years Ralph Moss has been a beacon of integrity in the

controversies surrounding complementary and alternative cancer

therapies. He cuts through the rhetoric and hype on both sides and

always keeps the best interest of the patient in mind. His current work

on the Mexican cancer clinics updates his classic book, The Cancer

Industry, by taking us into an era of globalization. International

agreements such as NAFTA and the changing economy of Tijuana are

creating the conditions for a new wave of repression of the longstanding

phenomenon of the border clinics. "
