Times are a-changin' in the US Health community. Who would have believed that the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine would APPLAUD an
Alternative Cancer Therapy, and in the same article, BLAST chemotherapy,
as worthless. 
 
Well, it happened... in the December 12th, 2002 issue, in a review by
James Spencer Malpas, M.D., D.Phil. St. Bartholomew's Hospital London
EC1A 7BE, United Kingdom You can find the article in the Journal at

http://content.NEJM.org/cgi/content/full/347/24/1986

if you're willing to fork over the ten bucks.
 
For those of you that don't want to spend the ten, here are the quotes...
 
Quote #1 - "He found the evidence in favor of conventional treatment unconvincing and opted for such alternative therapies as Gerson therapy
with its strict diet, vitamins, and enemas.

High-dose vitamin C and high-dose vitamin D, both contraindicated in the
orthodox treatment of multiple myeloma, were later added to the regimen.
What is evident is that this was the right therapy for him."
 
Quote #2 - "The irony of the whole situation is that a recent randomized
trial of treatment for stage 1 multiple myeloma by Riccardi and colleagues (British Journal of Cancer 2000;82:1254-60) showed no
advantage of conventional chemotherapy over no treatment."
 
Well, well... That ought to escalate the "quackbuster's" demise... Even
the New England Journal has turned their back on their ludicrous
assertions....
