The conquest of cancer vaccines and diet

"An examination of the 62 random cases shows that our success rate has been 82 percent. Considering the patients we called inconclusive but for whom we were able to be of some help, it is over 90 percent. Now compare our figures with the official (as of early 1983) American Cancer Society figure of 15 percent of patients who are helped by radiation or chemotherapy. (Also, note that the two physicians in our sampling elected not to be treated with radiation or chemotherapy. We find this to be true of practically all the physician-patients who come to our clinic.) Of the people we could not help, those who died or are presumed dead, I am willing to state that we probably could have helped these patients had they not come to us with enormously debilitated immune systems resulting from having already under­gone massive chemotherapy or radiation. The profound sadness we at the clinic experience when we receive a patient who already is beyond help is only offset by the great joy and satisfaction we feel when so-called terminal patients walk out of our doors after the accepted tests show them to be on the road to recovery, or when the disease is at least controlled to the point where they are able to lead comfortable and normal lives. Each patient cited here has been proved to have cancer by a qualified pathologist examining tissue under a microscope. In medicine only this represents the final proof of cancer. Once the diagnosis is firmly established, the metastases or recurrences may be judged by other means, such as X ray, CAT scan, and palpating (feeling) nodules."---Virginia Livingston Wheeler M.D. (The Conquest of Cancer: Vaccines and Diet p. 18, 19) "I spent the next two years becoming more familiar with orthomolecular medicine in general and the work of Dr. Livingston-Wheeler in particular. I learned that Dr. Livingston-Wheeler had more than forty years experience in medicine and that while a Professor of Microbiology at Rutgers University and the University of San Diego her work had been applauded at major scientific meetings from Rome to Paris to New York; that her scientific papers and articles had appeared in prominent sci­entific journals; and that she was listed in several Who's Who of science and medicine. In June of 1982, I was fortunate enough to meet William Gladstone, president of Waterside Productions, a literary agency based in Del Mar, California. Mr. Gladstone is a good friend of Dr. Livingston-Wheeler's and was looking for a seasoned medical writer to help bring her message to the American public. With three medical books to my credit along with seven others, I was given the opportunity to collaborate on the writing of this book. I soon found myself engrossed in what I now consider to be one of the most exciting and significant medical breakthroughs of the twentieth century. After many hours of conversation with Dr. Virginia and her husband and colleague, Dr. Owen Wheeler, after extensive interviews with her patients, days spent at the clinic, and reviews of hundreds of their patients' medical charts, I am convinced that Dr. Virginia's work is as important as the work of Louis Pasteur, Madame Curie, or Salk and Sabin. If you are reading this book because you have cancer, you are about to discover a treatment program that puts the odds of surviving to live a healthy, comfortable, productive life in your favor. If you do not have cancer, you are about to discover a program that will diminish the likelihood that you will ever suffer from this dreaded disease. Along the way you will learn the compelling story of Dr. Virginia's lifetime of medical research to find a cure for this treacherous disease."---Edmond G. Addeo Mill Valley, Calif.
