Physician/Researcher Lawrence Broxmeyer MD Addresses the Controversial Question: Is Cancer Just an Incurable Disease?
Recently, Elsevier, foremost publisher of world medical literature peer-reviewed and published Lawrence Broxmeyer MD’s “Is cancer just an incurable infectious disease?” Medical Hypothesis 63 (986-996) 2004. Here he discusses that publication.
(PRWEB) May 26, 2005 -- The word ‘cancer’ is of Latin derivation and means
crab. By the turn of the 20th Century organized medicine had come to the
conclusion that it was not a matter of whether infectious disease caused cancer,
but which one. And in 1912, The Journal of the American Medical Association,
(JAMA) in its editorial “Is Cancer of Infectious Nature?”, concluded that one
investigator had “a very strong case in favor of his view of the infectious
cause of cancer in general.” Just how was this mind set altered, and then
totally submerged? Researcher Lawrence Broxmeyer MD's answers are revealing.
“For over two hundred years a cancer germ had been discovered and
rediscovered, named and renamed, each scientist adding to the knowledge, but to
no avail,” replied Lawrence Broxmeyer MD. “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. But Dr. Virginia Livingston MD and her superb network were none of the
above, their meticulous peer-reviewed research and publications, done at the
height of US post World War II technology. In her group were such world-renowned
scientists as Dr. Florence Seibert and Dr. Eleanor Alexander-Jackson of Cornell.
And Dean Burk, Head of Cell Chemistry at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at
that time, when asked, went so far as to say that Livingston’s cancer germ was
as real and certain as anything known about cancer.”
That seemed odd
regarding a topic all but ignored in today’s medical circles.
“Prominent, well-published researcher, Dr. Alan Cantwell Jr.,” continued
Lawrence Broxmeyer MD, “grew up thinking that all germs responsible for the
important diseases were supposed to have already been discovered, but much to
his dismay, he found one that was left out: the cancer germ. Cantwell already
knew that for finding this, Livingston had already been branded by traditional
medicine, leaving what he thought to be perhaps the major discovery of the 20th
century largely discredited. This did not stop him, mind you, from verifying
much of her work.”
But then, why was researcher Dr. Virginia Livingston
ignored? Lawrence Broxmeyer MD: “The first female medical resident in New York,
and by her own admission,” Broxmeyer replied, “an outsider looking in, Virginia
Livingston soon found herself squarely up against major interests not only in
the cancer community, but major industrial institutions, espousing chemotherapy,
an offshoot of WWII chemical warfare, and radiation.” He explained.
“Yet
by 1970, Sakai Inoue, a PhD from Maebashi, Japan, and Marcus Singer, a doctor at
Case Western’s Developmental biology,” Broxmeyer continued, “had completed the
single most convincing and compelling study of how bacteria cause cancer
altogether, with Livingston’s tuberculosis-like mycobacteria. Supported by
grants from the American Cancer Society and the National Institute of Health,
their study used cold-blooded animals, namely the newt or salamander and the
frog. But similar studies showed its applicability to mice and
humans.”
“In many ways,” Broxmeyer went on, “Inoue and Singer’s study
unified and answered many of the mysteries of cancer. For example, Inoue
inoculated three other types of tuberculosis-like mycobacteria into healthy
animals. All came down with cancer, something that did not happen when other
germs such as staphylococcus or streptococcus were used. Amazingly Inoue and
Singer even noted regressions in some of the cancers, especially if they
originated from very dilute solutions of the germs used to initiate them. Sakai
Inoue and Marcus Singer’s study should have once and for all convinced Virginia
Livingston’s opponents of the veracity of her results, and that she was not
mistaking common contaminants such as staph or strept for the cancer germ. .
.but it did not.”
Stubbornly opponents of Livingston nervously grabbed
onto the belief she was merely mistaking contaminants of a group of commonly
encountered germs for her cancer microbe. “But Dr. Florence Siebert,” Broxmeyer
said, “a known expert on contaminants through her discovery of pyrogens, which
caused fever by adulterating water for injection, and who standardized the
present day tuberculin skin test for the US government, saw no contaminants
present, while at the same time again confirming Livingston.” In the subsequent
suppression of Livingston and her colleagues by the medical establishment, a
picture emerges, and it is not a very pleasant one.
“Virginia Livingston
finally gained international stature when she discovered that her cancer germ
produced human growth hormone (HCG), long associated with malignancy," ”
Broxmeyer concluded. "However, at first, even this was not believed until
studies from bastions such as Allegheny by Acevedo verified it.”
Perhaps
had she gained the same stature regarding identifying the cancer germ itself, by
today, it is conceivable, cancer would be well more on the way to being defined
then it is. At this time, according to Lawrence Broxmeyer there is admittedly no
cure for Livingston’s cancer germ. Apparently suppression led to its own
disinterest in cure and each year a multitude must suffer as a
result.
