THE UNTOLD TRUTH ABOUT CANCER The US medical establishment once accepted a microbial cause of cancer, but in 1910 it did an about-face and from thereon refused to accept the validity of scientific studies that proved the existence of a cancer germ. Part 1 of 2 he word "cancer" is of Latin derivation and means "crab". Today, cancer "cure" is a vast industry. But by the turn of the 20th century, the medical profession had come to the conclusion that it was not a matter of whether infectious disease caused cancer, but of which one. For over 200 years, a cancer germ had been discovered and rediscovered, named and renamed, each scientist adding to the knowledge but to no avail. Then, in 1910, certain American medical powers did a 180-degree rotation, deciding that cancer was not caused by a microbe and that anyone who thought otherwise was a heretic, a charlatan or a quack. Dr Virginia Wuerthele-Caspe Livingston and her network were none of the above, their meticulous peer-reviewed research and publications produced at the height of US post-World War II technology. Dr Dean Burk, who co- founded the US National Cancer Institute and headed its cell chemistry department for 34 years, went so far as to say that Livingston's cancer germ was as real and certain as anything known about cancer. Researcher Dr Alan Cantwell, Jr, grew up thinking that all germs responsible for the important diseases were supposed to have been discovered already. But much to his dismay, he found one that had been left out: the cancer germ. Cantwell new that Livingston had already been branded by the medical orthodoxy for inding this cancer germ—thus, what he nought to be perhaps the major discovery of the 20th century was left largely discredited. The striking analogy between cancer and tuberculosis (TB) was noticed ong before the tubercle bacillus was discovered. In 1877, Sir John Simon clearly pointed out the similarity and in fact argued very strongly in favour of a microbial mycobacterial origin for cancer. Since then, literally thousands of articles and texts have shown malignant changes to spring from uberculous infection. But Sir John's vindication would have to wait for Livingston's germ which, although tuberculosis-like, was not tuberculosis but an atypical form of this mycobacterium, melded from the mycobacterium and other related Actinomycetales. Had medical science, and the powers hat be, spent as much time in investigating and destroying Livingston's germ as they did in attacking her and those around her, cancer might be curable today. by Lawrence Broxmeyer, MD © 2009 The N.

Afterwards, Livingston compared slides of the two diseases. In Hodgkin's, the giant multinucleated cells were called Reed-Sternberg cells and were similar to the giant cells of tuberculosis which formed to engulf the tubercle NEXUS ¢ 35 DECEMBER 2009 - JANUARY 2010 www.nexusmagazine.com
