World Without Cancer author G. Edward Griffin exposes how corrupt

politics prevent real cancer cures from reaching the public

 

 

 

Thirty-one years ago, a man wrote a book exposing the politics

involved in cancer therapy. It painted a picture of a world in which

an effective control for cancer existed but was outlawed because it

couldn't line the pockets of the powerful pharmaceutical industry. In

31 years, little has changed.

 

G. Edward Griffin's 1974 book World Without Cancer is as poignant

today as the day it was written, and in some circles, just as

controversial. That's because Griffin tells the story of a powerful

substance that, despite its potential to aid in the fight against

cancer, few cancer sufferers will ever know about, and that their

doctors certainly will not offer them. That substance is vitamin B-17,

also called Laetrile, and it is a naturally-occurring substance that

has been banned for use in the control of cancer in the United States.

 

Griffin was first introduced to the subject of vitamin therapy for

cancer control while on a fishing trip with San Francisco physician

John Richardson, he said in a telephone interview. Dr. Richardson told

Griffin he had seen great success in treating his cancer patients with

vitamin B-17, but he faced opposition from local medical authorities

who, when they caught wind of what he was doing, balked at the fact he

was using a treatment that was not FDA-approved. In an effort to

protect his right to administer a therapy he had seen work on so many

patients, Dr. Richardson turned to Griffin for help in advancing his

cause, and thus was the beginning of World Without Cancer.

 

Griffin, who knew nothing of the science of cancer when he began his

project, soon learned plenty. His research led him to the conclusion

that naturally-occurring Laetrile is indeed an effective treatment for

cancer. In fact, from the time he started his research to today,

Griffin says he has seen literally thousands of people benefit from

treatment with Laetrile. He also learned that cancer is a disease

linked directly to a deficiency of vitamin B-17, which is found in

high amounts in apricot kernels. However, perhaps the most important

and most troubling thing he learned was that Laetrile and its health

potential were being kept out of doctors' hands for political – not

scientific – reasons.

 

According to Griffin, the 1953 California Report continues to be the

basis of most scientific or legal opposition to vitamin B-17 today.

The report, written by Dr. Henry Garland and Dr. E. M. McDonald of the

California Medical Association's Cancer Advisory Commission, claims

there is no proof Laetrile is an effective control for cancer. (It

should be noted that these two particular doctors were at the time

also insisting there was no link between smoking and lung cancer.)

 

However, Griffin writes in World Without Cancer that Garland and

McDonald actually falsified information from Laetrile experiments

cited in the California Report. In fact, 10 years after the report was

published, original documents surfaced that proved information had

been falsified. Although the report was subsequently updated,

additional problems – such as insufficient vitamin dosages used in the

experiments – persisted, and the conclusions of the original

California Report remained embedded in the literature and minds of many.

 

Additional studies conducted by well-known groups like the

Sloane-Kettering Institute have proven the effectiveness of Laetrile,

according to Griffin. However, those study results have not been

publicized.

 

" When you dig into the facts, and you read the reports by the people

themselves inside those institutions, you find out they found in their

testing that Laetrile was highly effective, but they received

directives from the top to suppress that information, " Griffin said.

 

So why would the " powers-that-be " work so hard to suppress information

that could benefit thousands of people dying of cancer? " They do that

because they're trying to make a buck, and something that is found in

nature, like Laetrile, cannot be patented, " says Griffin. But the

story doesn't stop there.

 

The Hitler / Pharma connection

World Without Cancer is divided into two parts, and in the second half

of the book, Griffin goes on to reveal some disturbing information

about an international drug cartel that came into being in the years

before World War II that he says played a significant role in shaping

the field of medicine in this country. This powerful cartel was

created, Griffin argues, when I.G. Farben, a German-based chemical

company and financial backer of Adolf Hitler, joined together with

Standard Oil of New Jersey, founded by American business tycoon John

D. Rockefeller, in an agreement not to compete. The partnership was

largely concealed, since neither company wanted their countries to

know about the relationship in the event of an inevitable second world

war. In a lecture, Griffin once referred to the Farben-Rockefeller

merger as " the largest and most powerful cartel the world has ever

known, even though most people have never heard about it. "

 

And so the extremely influential Rockefeller came to be interlocked

with the drug industry, and under the guise of philanthropy, began

donating large sums of money to America's faltering medical schools.

Of course, the catch was that such schools were told the money had to

be used for drug research, which would create a great profit for

Rockefeller interests. In their time of need, medical schools readily

complied. " When they accepted the money, they had to follow the

dollar, and they designed their curricula so it favors pharmacy (and)

pharmaceutical drugs, " says Griffin.

 

This effectively gave birth to the conventional medical care system we

know today, which is based almost entirely on prescription drugs and

knows little to nothing about basic nutrition (see related ebook on

nutrition). " The medical schools of the United States now teach the

students everything there is to know about their product, which is

drugs, " Griffin says, " And so [doctors] come out as highly trained

drug salesmen, and they don't even know it! "

 

Even doctors are kept in the dark about B-17

It's no wonder then that natural treatments like vitamin B-17 remain

banned or widely unknown in the United States; there is a long line of

profit and power ensuring they stay that way. That's why doctors will

not offer cancer patients vitamin therapy with vitamin B-17, and why

most doctors, if asked about Laetrile, will say it has been proven

ineffective. However, Griffin doesn't blame the doctors for

conventional modern medicine's focus on drugs, noting, " They're kind

of victims of this whole system as much as the rest of us, and they

and their families die of cancer just like everyone else. So it's

clear that they're not holding back a control for cancer that they

know works. If they knew about it, they would use it, just like Dr.

Richardson. It's just that they're pretty well sheltered from that

information, and they rely very strongly on the prestigious sources at

the top. "

 

Since Griffin's book hit shelves in 1974, awareness of natural health

has increased, but little has changed in terms of the availability of

Laetrile in the United States. It remains illegal for doctors to

prescribe or sell Laetrile as a control for cancer. According to

Griffin, however, some clinics continue to quietly use the substance,

often only after the patient has obtained it. Many other patients

travel to Mexico for treatment.

 

Griffin worries that vitamin B-17 is not the only natural treatment

for serious disease being suppressed because of political and

financial reasons. " I'm convinced, and this is just my opinion now; I

can't back this up with facts, but on the basis of what I've seen, I

think this whole AIDS field is just a rubber stamp of the cancer

field, " Griffin states. He adds, " I am sure that you'll find this

thing all over the medical field because they follow the buck. They

have to have something that's patented to do that, and patented

medicines are usually toxic. "

 

Today, Griffin says writing World Without Cancer dramatically changed

his views and may have saved his life. " It is like night into day, " he

says. " I am firmly convinced that had I not done this research and

learned what I did, I probably would have been dead today because I

was living the lifestyle of the typical American – fast foods, no

exercise (and) no awareness of the fact that I had any responsibility

for my health. "

 

The politics of cancer therapy

On the first page of his book, Griffin openly acknowledges that what

he writes is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration,

American Medical Association or the American Cancer Society and says

that they in fact would call it " fraud and quackery. " That is because,

as Griffin has often said, the politics of cancer therapy are far more

complicated than the science of cancer therapy.

 

This core problem, according to Griffin, cannot be solved until we get

the politics out of a lot of other areas as well. In the meantime, it

is up to each individual consumer to take responsibility for his or

her own health and wellbeing. " I think it's important for people to

understand that government, in most cases, is not the solution; it's

the problem, " Griffin warns. " As long as people think that the

government is supposed to take care of them and protect them and that

they can trust their politicians – as long as they think that, they're

in deep trouble. And, in fact, we are all in deep trouble because of

that kind of thinking. "
