| From what I have read and been told, the record of clinics offering
only an alternative approach is dismal. Good book: Breast Cancer :
What You Should Know (But May Not Be Told About Prevention, Diagnosis,
and Treatment) by Steve Austin N.D. and Cathy Hitch MSW. Steve is a
highly respected doctor and professor of nutrition (not to mention a
heluva piano player)who formally researched alternative cancer clinics
in the 80s. Cathy, his wife, was diagnosed with breast cancer. The book
details how she dealt with it. |

| ``The established medical community is demanding regulations and insisting
that the promotion and sale of alternative therapies be subjected to the
same standards of evaluation as other therapies, says the report of a
new pilot study that tested the feasibility of performing outcomes and
more advanced research for cancer patients at two complementary and
alternative (CAM) clinics. The paper, entitled ``Assessment of Outcomes at
Alternative Medicine Cancer Clinics: A Feasibility Study, by Mary Ann
Richardson, Dr.Ph.; Nancy C. Russell, M.P.H.; Tina Sanders, M.S.; Robert
Barrett, Ph.D.; and Catherine Salveson, R.N., Ph.D., appears in The
Journal of Alternative & Complementary Medicine: Research on Paradigm,
Practice and Policy, Vol. 7, No. 1, published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. |
| This book is must reading for all cancer patients and their families. It is
exhaustively researched and meticulously referenced. In addition, it is
beautifully written, much like an adventure story. Be forewarned that the book
is also extremely disturbing. It tells the story of how alternative therapies
for cancer, labeled unorthodox during the last century, were systematically
suppressed by the American Medical Association and federal government agencies
charged with protecting the public health. As it turns out, Harry Hoxsey who
treated cancer patients with an herbal tonic and diet beginning in the 1920s,
was one of a number of people who were investigating unorthodox treatments.
Most of these treatments were nontoxic plant and herb-based formulas and also
emphasized good diet and nutrition. Like Hoxsey who was finally forced to close
his cancer clinics in 1960, all of these other doctors and scientists suffered
similar persecution without valid scientific investigation into their
