Dr. Lawrence Burton
And instead of going in there and doing objective studies, like
with Dr. Lawrence Burton - Burton said, "Hey, take a look at
our work."
He was over here at St. Vincent's and he worked with the famous
doctor, Dr. Retino. Burton had a background in oncology. He published
sixty-five articles in peer review journals. He was a keynote speaker
at scientific conferences. Everything was fine...UNTIL the fateful
day that they were able to shrink tumors in mice using special natural
substances called a tumor de-blocking agent, a tumor complement
from the blood. There were four ingredients they isolated.
Suddenly, the American Cancer Society sends a representative to
work with him. The Damon Runyon Fund funds them. The U.S. Public
Health Service funds them. And for the next two years, a lot of
very good activity. A whole team worked. And then the American Cancer
Society invited a Dr. Friedman and Dr. Burton to go out to - I believe
it was either Phoenix or Las Vegas where they were having a national
seminar of oncologists - and to duplicate their work. And they did.
They had these big tumors they injected and overnight the tumors
went away.
The men couldn't believe it. Some of the other oncologists said,
"Fraud." So fine. Here YOU select the mice. YOU take it.
YOU inject them. "No, no, no. We don't want to do that"
"Why? Fear of knowing is the fear of doing? Why?"
Six months later, the New York Academy of Sciences invited them.
They duplicated it again. Now they published an article. And they
published it in a prestigious journal, and Sloan-Kettering had one
of its OWN investigators as one of the co-authors of the article.
The American Cancer Society had a Dr. Castle as one of the authors
of the article. Then suddenly there were CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS.
"We want to buy your thing here. We'll give you a research
grant, but we want the credit for it."
"No way," they said.
Overnight - is it a coincidence? - the U.S. Public Health Service
stopped all funding. Damon Runyon Fund stopped all funding. And
now they started getting attacked. They tried to hold together but
they had no money. Over the next year and a half, they had to stop
all work because there were no funds. And also there were no more
invitations to speak. No more published articles.
Burton, out of frustration, went to the National Cancer Institute
and he said, "Look!" - and by the way I have ALL of the
correspondence, so those liars, and they ARE liars...if they say
that they didn't get this correspondence they are pathologically
lying - And he says, "Give me your worst hundred cancer patients
and if I can't help them then I will stop what I'm doing."
And they said, "No."
And then he had no choice. He went down to the Bahamas. He couldn't
do his work any more here. He was being harassed. Now the very people
who were supposed to be supporting him now are harassing him. Now
he's down in the Bahamas, and guess what? His clinic is closed.
His clinic is closed - as I traced it down - from a false report
in the White House.
And we went down there and tried to get the clinic open. And then
they have an investigation by the Pan Am Group, which is NOT an
official group. And now they say that it is not a good clinic, and
they say things that I find out are completely inaccurate. They
say there was no autoclave equipment. Gee whiz, I go down there
and there is autoclave equipment for sterilization.
There are the records. Now WE went through the records and we found
over five hundred of his patients who were alive and well five years
after their treatment, with no cancer. And Dr. Burton didn't selectively
give us these. These were "take what you want. Here are the
patients I treated." So there was statistical improvement -
more so than any cancer institution in the United States could show.
