Hi Folks,
First I apologize for this Off Topic post, but my contacts on the
West Coast are somewhat limited. I have a friend that is looking
for anyone who knows about the Oasis of Hope Clinic in Tijuana.
He's looking for someone who's had experience with them. He's
rather desperate, his wife, a 10 year cancer survivor, has just been
diagnosed as terminal. We are in Georgia and he is reluctant to
expend slender resources on chasing wild fowl. Thanks for your
patience and assistance.
Best Regards,
Beej

Andy Ivy came up with laetrile decades ago. AFAIK it has never been
used in the US. I've known several people who went to Mexico so they
could get it. None survived.

I believe Steve McQueen was one of the earlier non-survivors of this
hoax.

I wouldn't call it a hoax. At least not so far as Ivy was concerned. I
knew his son but not him; however, he was a very bright individual -
Nobel prize winner - and I'm sure he honestly viewed it as a viable
treatment. Unfortunately, that hasn't proven to be the case.

I'm not entirely sure I would call the foreign alternative treatment
clinics "hoaxes" either although I suspect their primary function is to
enrich the owners. Still, if I were terminally ill from cancer, I might
well try one. Hope springs eternal and at that point they couldn't hurt
much.
