1. Why is there a need for this type of charity?
Desperate Cancer patients rarely learn about the majority
of available alternative medical options. In fact according
to Dr. James P. Carter in his book "Racketeering in
Medicine"; a full 80% of those who travel outside
the US for alternative cancer treatments are so terribly
advanced in their diseases that it is too late, even for
alternative approaches. This fact alone obscures the value
of these therapies." In 1987, DeFelice, the Director
of the Foundation for Innovative Medicine lamented, ......... "Over
the past 20 years, a a pervasive and aggressive regulating
system has evolved that has effectively blocked the caring
clinical innovator at nearly every step. Let there be no
doubt that we have quietly, but effectively, eliminated
the Louis Pasteur's of our great country."
2. Why is it so difficult to access information regarding
Alternative Treatment?
Only 10% of the world’s total biomedical literature
is located in the Index Medicus also referred to as the
Medline database. Much clinical data supporting other alternative
treatments is found only in medical journals not politically
or financially dependent on the pharmaceuticals for advertising
revenue.
3. Why do you think these more aggressive alternative therapies
are kept out of the country?
Organized medicine argues that new treatments are "unproven" because
double blind studies have not been performed to prove efficacy
beyond doubt.
"The double-blind study was developed to prevent bias in
agriculture research up in Canada. To test the effects
of fertilizer on crop yields, Canadian agriculturalists
planted two patches. The experiment was double-blind because
neither the harvester who measured the crop nor the researchers
knew which patch was fertilized and which one was not,
eliminating the element of subjective bias. Double-blind
studies were never meant to be used as the sole criterion
for determining scientific truth." (Racketeering In
Medicine, James P. Carter, M.D.)
About 80% of all medical procedures now used in the daily
practice of medicine have never been proven through such
research studies. (i.e., taking your temperature to determine
health and/or illness)

organization is run solely by donations! If you
know someone who is suffering from cancer and has exhausted
all their treatment options and money seeking a cure, there
is somewhere else to turn to. |

physicians and other health care professionals are often approached
by individuals with life threatening illnesses in need of treatment
only to find that funding for their non-conventional treatment
is not available. |
