110 <strong>Suppressed</strong> <strong>Inventions</strong> <strong>and</strong> Other <strong>Discoveries</strong><br />

His sin was that he supported a cancer-curing serum called Krebiozen.<br />

Over 20,000 cancer patients had supposedly benefited from Krebiozen.<br />

One United States Senate Committee lawyer personally assessed 530<br />

cases <strong>and</strong> concluded that Krebiozen was effective.<br />

Krebiozen has never been tested objectively. The FDA used illegal<br />

methods to stop it, methods which have been part <strong>of</strong> a conscious goal <strong>of</strong><br />

the FDA to dictate what medicine a citizen is permitted to use <strong>and</strong> what<br />

he may not use. Combined with the questionable behavior <strong>of</strong> FDA <strong>of</strong>ficials,<br />

the stock links to the large drug companies, <strong>and</strong> the testimony <strong>of</strong><br />

FDA employees that conscious cover-ups were common, the intention <strong>of</strong><br />

the FDA to dictate individual medicine has to be recognized as one <strong>of</strong> the<br />

most dangerous threats to freedom that has ever existed.<br />

Peter Temin, a pr<strong>of</strong>essor at MIT, carefully studied FDA history <strong>and</strong> policy<br />

for his 1980 book, Taking Your Medicine: Drug Regulation in the<br />

United States. His conclusion, based on a very careful, close look at FDA<br />

is frightening:<br />

The most important facet <strong>of</strong> FDA regulation is the agency's expression<br />

<strong>of</strong> its conviction that individuals—both doctors <strong>and</strong> consumers—cannot<br />

make reasonable choices among drugs.<br />

The agency tried with increasing success to deny drug prescribers<br />

<strong>and</strong> users the option <strong>of</strong> taking "innocuous" drugs, that is, to force them<br />

to use drugs the FDA regards as appropriate for their condition.<br />

Despite evidence which extends for decades, revealing criminal behavior<br />

in the one agency that holds the power to permit tests <strong>of</strong> alternative<br />

cures for cancer, Congress has done nothing. One night in Washington,<br />

D.C., I found out why. I was introduced to the aide <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> the most<br />

powerful U.S. Representatives in Congress. His boss had been in<br />

Washington for many years. Yet, despite the Congressman's powerful<br />

committee position <strong>and</strong> ranking status in the majority party, he was unable<br />

to do anything with the health <strong>of</strong>ficials at FDA or NCI. After a number <strong>of</strong><br />

drinks, this Congressman's aide told me that FDA <strong>and</strong> NCI were protected<br />

fiefdoms. They wrote their own legislation, permitting only minor<br />

changes by Congress. They ignored Congressional complaints. They were<br />

extensively tied to the big drug companies. "They know no one controls<br />

them. No one is able to take a sword <strong>and</strong> tell them where to go," the aide<br />

said. He leaned across the table <strong>and</strong> whispered, "Only national security<br />

procedures are as tightly controlled, without outside examination. Only<br />

national security. Does that tell you something"<br />

It told me that the monster was real <strong>and</strong> dangerous if some <strong>of</strong> the most<br />

powerful men in the U.S. Congress, with their massive egos <strong>and</strong> independent<br />

political bases, were afraid <strong>of</strong> it.
