Secrecy Surrounding Cancer Cures

Nowhere has secrecy been more disheartening than where cancer treatment is concerned. The suffering endured by patients in the hope of cure is truly horrific, this whether in the 17th century or a modern hospital in a major city today. Any treatment that is less mutilating, less painful, and more promising needs to be seriously examined for its relevancy, regardless of whether or not it is ancient or tribal.

Though this truth is sometimes recognized, it is sometimes seen more clearly by naturalists who are trying to preserve rain forests and their precious plants from extinction than by medical scientists who, often as not, perform the procedures taught to them without sufficient regard either for suffering or outcome.

Greed and Secrecy

Unfortunately, I found that those with successful botanical treatments have, for reasons of greed or fear, often failed to share their knowledge with humanity. Going back nearly 250 years, I discovered that one of London's most successful cancer doctors refused to divulge his formula. Fortunately, the Eclectics were different, and their work was peer reviewed and published.

As in the past, most cancer salve recipes produced today are also secret. Though I personally have published all the formulae I could find, about a hundred of them, the people who make the salves or pastes rarely divulge their ingredients much less the proportions or methods of preparations. I have interviewed dozens of such people, but in only a few instances have I been able to confirm the formulae for the products. The usual story is that an individual, on his deathbed, entrusted the cancer cure secret to a single descendent who was sworn to secrecy.

I am quite convinced that the power of these deathbed commitments is an important factor in the secrecy, but I suspect that many of the formulae are quite similar, that they were common drug store items until roughly the turn of the century, and that they are not nearly so mysterious as their trustees believe them to be. Nevertheless, the refusal to talk did retard study of the products and the methods associated with the products.

The book contains over 100 recipes for cancer salves, pastes, poultices, liniments, internal tonics, and teas as well as detailed instructions for use of the products.
