Patients Struggle in Vain It can only be supposed that with great probability Austrian cancer specialists not only are unaware of the medical literature about Ukrain but also that they either do not attend international cancer congresses or that, out of prejudice, they boycott the many short talks or even whole sessions. There is no other way to explain the irritable disapproval which arises as soon as the word Ukrain is mentioned. The civil servants at the registration authorities have shown the same refusal to pay attention to the results of international research into Ukrain. Their eagerness always to demand new documentation and then to reject it as unsatisfactory is obviously not the same when it comes to the drugs of powerful international companies, as previously seen in the case of Taxol. If it was only a question of importing a product of merely financial significance, it would be of no importance. However, it is a question of the lives and the quality of life of people who are suffering and whose deaths conventional medicine cannot prevent in so many cases. On ethical grounds, insofar as there is scientific evidence, even the smallest glimmer of hope should be investigated: and specialist publications in renowned medical journals, even if these were sponsored by the (obviously ‘opposing’) Ministry of Trade, should not be brushed aside as ‘paid advertisements’. The many hundreds of case records of patients who have been able to survive thanks to Ukrain, or at least experienced a great improvement in the quality of their lives, has at any rate resulted in over 160 doctors in Austria having treated their cancer patients with Ukrain, at least as adjuvant therapy. And this, despite the fact that the Ministry of Health has been untiring in reminding them of the ‘ban’ and has been mysteriously informed about both postal and telephone orders for Ukrain. This was especially noticeable with a doctor who had previously never prescribed or ordered Ukrain. On 17 June 1998 he ordered the drug by telephone for the first time. By post he received the package together with the invoice. Despite the fact that he showed nobody the invoice, on 20 July he received the ‘decree’ from the Ministry of Health stating that the use of Ukrain was forbidden. The ministry seems untiring in pursuing this tactic. When doctors ordered Ukrain, they almost automatically received notification of this ‘decree’ which sometimes even arrived before or at the same time as the ampoules. Since this ‘decree’ was found only in the letterboxes of doctors who had ordered Ukrain and those of nobody else, Nowicky was puzzled how, in view of the secrecy of the postal service and the ban on tapping telephones, the names of customers could have arrived at the ministry. Coincidence can be ruled out: there have been 258 doctors so far who have been notified of this illegal ban and threatened with consequences. In contrast to the hospitals, for whom Ukrain appears to be not worth trying or researching, general practitioners in Austria and abroad have long brought the proof for the efficacy of Ukrain which the registration authorities supposedly are panting for. Of course, in accordance with current regulations, even such a large collection of individual cases cannot take the place of a clinical study, which is still being prevented. Patients who live in fear for their lives cannot understand the behaviour of the authorities. It is also a mystery to many general practitioners who have seen the effect of Ukrain in their surgeries. Many of their observations are documented in reports. These include for example, results from a doctor in Burgenland who treated 12 cancer patients with Ukrain. A ‘massive improvement in the general condition’ was observed in a 61 year-old patient with prostate cancer who was ‘in a bad condition and almost unable to walk’ after an operation. In the case of a 75 year-old woman with lymphatic leukaemia: ‘After Ukrain therapy her disease has regressed, swelling has gone down on all the lymph nodes and can no longer be detected.’ 39
All these cases are too recent for there to be a final report. However, his summary concurs with reports from other doctors. He reports: ‘In my observations I concluded that Ukrain is a real help and a positive supplement to other forms of treatment. In addition to the remissions achieved it should be noted that patients feel comfortable during and after treatment and their lives have become more worth living.’ A general practitioner in Vienna who has treated patients with Ukrain for more than twenty years, and as a result of his experience is in favour of low doses, stated, ‘Ukrain definitely has a tumour-inhibiting effect.’ Even with patients in advanced stages. ‘Since in these cases,’ he reports, ‘there is naturally a very unfavourable prognosis, I find it extremely remarkable that the vast majority of patients have lived far longer than could be expected from the prognosis and at the same time the quality of their lives has been improved. They had far fewer pains and felt stronger and often existing pains noticeably reduced in the course of treatment.’ In conclusion he also comes down in favour of the rapid registration of Ukrain since, ‘a considerable improvement in the general prognosis in relation to the length and quality of life is to be expected. This is all the more important because the currently common aftercare for tumours with chemotherapy and radiotherapy has negative effects on the immune systems of patients which in the long run decisively worsens the prognosis.’ It was also emphasised that Ukrain prevents the formation and further growth of metastases. A general practitioner with many years’ experience at a hospital abroad can only confirm these findings. For the last seven years she has mainly been treating patients, ‘who have been given up by conventional medicine and desperately look for a last chance of treatment. It should be said in advance that with all these patients an unexpected subjective and objective improvement both in their physical and mental conditions came about after the first injection with Ukrain, which I can in no way define as a placebo effect. Patients improved their eating and sleeping habits and reported that pains had been relieved so that in many cases it was unnecessary to administer strong analgesics. They lost their general malaise and their initially depressed basic mood brightened up. It should be noted that most of the patients reported their better feeling for life on their own initiative.’ In her report the doctor presents some ‘remarkable therapeutic successes’. A 66 yearold woman came to her with a malignant melanoma on her lower leg with massive lymphatic oedema (concentration of water) in her leg and multiple metastases in the cerebrum (brain) and in the spinal canal. She had been discharged from hospital as untreatable. After the third series of Ukrain therapy the massive primary tumour and the lymphatic oedema reduced in size. The tumour could now be operatively removed and the metastases in the central nervous system were reduced. After the seventh series of Ukrain treatment no more metastases could be detected. The patient has been free of recidivisms for three years, feels healthy and receives Ukrain at longer and longer intervals. The doctor also reported the case of a 60 year-old man who was also discharged from hospitable as untreatable with lung cancer with metastases. The hospital had not been able to suggest any possible type of therapy. ‘Extremely short of breath, can only walk a few metres without having to rest. During treatment with Ukrain the patient experienced an improvement in his condition which was almost a miracle. His difficulty in breathing disappeared almost completely and he can go for hour-long hikes. He died three months later during an examination in hospital shortly after he had been injected with morphine.’ A similar end was met by Frau S. from Waidhofen who had been suffering from stomach cancer and was treated with Ukrain after being discharged from hospital. A letter from her daughter describes what happened: ‘She was doing very well until last October. She could eat everything and was not in pain. Then she went to the next examination at the hospital. Gastroscopy was carried out again. The doctor who had carried out the previous two 40
