Cancer Clinics Around the World: Traveling for Treatment in the US, Caribbean, Europe, and Asia

Saturday 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM, 206

The United States and Canada are scientific powerhouses, but are very poor at offering treatment choices to cancer patients. There is little emphasis on--and often a negative attitude--towards nutrition, phytotherapy, antioxidants, immune modulation, mind-body medicine, hyperthermia (heat therapy), and other ‘kinder, gentler’ forms of treatment. This has created a peculiar situation in which North American patients find they must travel far from home or even go abroad, to find the treatments that they desire.
Ralph Moss continues to travel both in North America and around the world visiting cancer clinics. His goal is to ferret out what is useful, or useless, in foreign clinics and to bring that knowledge to cancer patients. In the last few years he has traveled to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, as well as the Caribbean, Central America, and China looking for innovative treatment facilities. He has made 13 visits to Germany alone to see many of the 50 or so cancer clinics there using hyperthermia, mistletoe and other innovative treatments. In this presentation he will take you on an illustrated world tour, to see how cancer is viewed and treated in some of the most interesting foreign facilities.

Do-it-Yourself Cancer Treatments: Which Ones Are Effective? Which Are Safe? Workshop $30

Saturday 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM, 206

Many patients today are supplementing their conventional treatment with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Others have chosen to abandon conventional medicine and go down a purely alternative route. When should one rely on conventional treatment and when should one “go alternative”? Moss will try to explain this difficult decision. If one decides to use CAM, how does one decide among the many options that are out there. What are the main online tools that one can use? He will review—and bring up to date—research on such topics as vitamins, minerals, herbs, diets, immune boosters and less toxic drugs. Which treatments have very little scientific basis and could safely be avoided in formulating a treatment plan? Moss will try to provide a rational view of “DIY” treatment.

Panel: Protecting Your Right to Safe & Natural Foods & Medicines

Sunday 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM, 206

Panelists: Shawn Buckley, LLB, Shiv Chopra, PhD, Ralph Moss, PhD
Moderator: Helke Ferrie
Sunday, 12:00 – 2:00, Room 206
• Dr. Shiv Chopra, former Health Canada scientist will present evidence of how Health Canada is not protecting our health. Learn how to protect yourself by making informed choices. Learn about the safety issues of vaccines and food products throughout the world.
• Ralph Moss, author of The Cancer Industry, will review the government’s involvement with complementary and alternative medicine and reveal the powerful economic forces that are aligned against radically new ideas in the cancer field. He will discuss the suppression of effective cancer treatments by the “Cancer Establishment”. “Everyone should know that the ‘war on cancer’ is largely a fraud”. – Linus Pauling.
• Constitutional expert Shawn Buckley will share what’s around the bend for Bill C-6 and natural health product regulations in general. Shawn Buckley will discuss: (i) how Bill C-6 is a perfect example of restricting our freedom of choice; and (ii) how Bill C-6 will affect Natural Health Products by giving increased powers of seizure to Health Canada. Although Bill C-6 is called the “Consumer Protection Act” the Bill itself raises safety concerns because it moves away from the rule of law and abolishes the law of trespass. We need to wake up about the loss of freedoms that our forefathers fought for and get involved!
• What is happening with Codex Alimentarius? Find out how Bill C-6 can pave the way for international globalization and harmonization via Codex.

The War on Cancer - What Has Caused Its Failure and What can be done about it? The Politics and Economics of Cancer

Sunday 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM, 206

Next year (2011) will mark the fortieth anniversary of the US government’s official “war on cancer.” On December 21, 1971 Pres. Nixon inaugurated the “war” with the stated objective of curing cancer in time for the American bicentennial, i.e., July 4, 1976. Yet here we are, decades later, and that goal remains elusive. A person with advanced breast cancer diagnosed today has little more chance of being cured than she had back in the 1970s. The same is true of other common solid tumors of adults. Where have we made progress? Which cancers are responding to treatment? Which methods are effective and which are not? What about chemotherapy? Does it cure or kill (or both)?
Ralph Moss will illustrate the true dimensions of the war on cancer with a consideration of the situation with North America’s most commonly fatal malignancy. What is the source of this problem and what can be done about it? Moss will review the US government’s involvement with complementary and alternative medicine and will also talk about tests that can tell whether a person has cancer, whether it has recurred, and how it best can be treated. He will also reveal the powerful economic forces that are aligned against radically new ideas in the cancer field.
