TREATMENT OF CANCER
months,
as this. It is nearly twice the length of time of a human pregnancy from
conception to birth.
But
this is not the place to write a history of a quarter of a century’s researches
in embryology. Suffice it to say that the chain of researches is now a complete
one, every link has been tested, and no flaw discovered. As one outcome of this
systematic investigation, a single case of successful cure of malignant
disease, quite apart from others recorded in the published literature, is
brought before the whole world, and the invitation is given that any test of
its truth be applied to it. All the methods employed are published in full. The
remedies suggested and the modes of using them may be rejected or ignored; but
the truth, if scientific truth have any place at all in this world, must be
admitted. The facts are: that in a case of malignant disease, termed by the
pathologists a “round-celled sarcoma “—named by me, scientifically,
irresponsible trophoblast or asexual generation—which was recurrent and
inoperable after two extensive surgical operations upon it ; the remains of the
tumour, under the influence of the all - powerful ferments, trypsin and
amylopsin, finally shelled out, leaving the patient free from all trace of malignant
disease, and, in fact, ‘‘ cured.’’ I ask that these scientific facts, which
cannot he denied, be admitted, and that with this the tardy acknowledgment be
made, that when, on January 20, 1905, a scientific man, whose sole object was
the revelation of the truths of Nature, stated publicly that ‘‘in the secretion
of that important digestive gland, the pancreas,” Nature had provided a potent
remedy for cancer what he then Said was nothing more than scientific truth,
which is the greatest of all truth.
This,
Nature’s remedy, may be taken or left ; but the truth may be denied no longer.
It is beyond my power
