Hopefully, the public and the media will be outraged by this long-standing evidence of recklessness and conspiracies, graphically reinforced by Moyers' program. The public and the media should finally hold industry accountable and demand urgent investigation and radical reform of current industry practices besides governmental unresponsiveness. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Frank: Well, the primary reason it exists is because the politics of cancer are far more complicated than the science. Twenty-five years ago, actually about 30 years ago, G. Edward Griffin wrote a book called "World Without Cancer."
Mike: I'm familiar with that book.
Frank: Part one is the science of cancer and also talks about vitamin B17, and the second half of that book, which is vitally important, is about the politics of cancer. | Samuel S. Epstein, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Epstein published The politics of cancer in 1978, Congress had increased the budget for the National Cancer Institute to $872 million, from $233 million in 1971, a cure was still nowhere in sight, and there was considerable debate as to how the war against cancer should be fought. Dr. Epstein and many of his colleagues in the public health community argued for a more aggressive assault on the preventable causes of cancer that people are unknowingly exposed to on a daily basis — at home, on the job, and in the environment — and often at low doses over a long period of time. | Michael Friedman, ND See book keywords and concepts | Subcommittee on Crime of the House Judiciary Committee, 12/13/79; The politics of cancer, 1979; and The politics of cancer, Revisited, 1998.)

As usual, America's abandonment of the world's best natural anti-cancer medicine has nothing at all to do with science, but everything to do with politics and profits. If vitamin D were a cancer drug made by Pfizer, the American Cancer Society would likely be pushing it as the next "miracle" drug and calling for everyone to be put on the drug. But since it's a nutrient that cannot be patented, and can actually be manufactured for free by exposing your skin to natural sunlight, the entire U.S. | Samuel S. Epstein, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | As we did in 1978 when The politics of cancer was first published, we should today hear this clarion call.
Most disturbingly, Dr. Epstein chronicles how the Cancer Establishment has nearly totally ignored cancer prevention, ignored the most common sense proposition that we should simply keep poison out of our communities and immediate surroundings. Every parent tells their child the common-lore adage that a "stitch in time saves nine," but according to Dr. | | What made The politics of cancer so unique was its fusion of science with politics. For the first time, the intimidatingly complex scientific data and facts of asbestos, vinyl chloride, benzene, and hundreds of other toxic threats were demystified and explained in the context of a political, social, and cultural evolution. Any layperson who knew nothing about which chemicals were dangerous and how Washington was reacting to the grave dangers could come away after having read the Politics with an expertise in both. The book was an education for the public and a handbook for decision-makers. | | Congressman David Obey hreTace
(The politics of cancer, 1978)
If one thousand people died every day of cholera, swine flu, or food poisoning, an epidemic of major proportions would be at hand and the entire country would mobilize against it. Yet cancer claims that many lives daily, often in prolonged and agonizing pain, and most people believe they can do nothing about it. Cancer, they think, strikes where it will, with no apparent cause. Some take out a cancer insurance policy, all hope not to be one of its victims.
But cancer has distinct, identifiable causes. | | This same recommendation was made in The politics of cancer, 1979 (see page 219):
Relation of NCI and regulatory agencies. NCI should preserve its primary function as a research agency, with emphasis on problem-solving, and should not become directly involved in regulatory specifics. NCI should, however, develop special formalized large-scale resources for providing guidance and counsel to regulatory agencies on all scientific matters relating to chemical carcinogens in the general environment and workplace. | | These articles illustrate the striking similarities between the politics of cancer in the U.S. and Great Britain.
Scientists Reticent
By Lawrence McGinty
From New Scientist (Great Britain)
June 28, 1979
When the General and Municipal Workers Union (GMWU) decided to organize a series of seminars on cancer in the workplace — a thoroughly commendable idea — it tried hard to find British scientists to address the three meetings it planned. | Samuel S. Epstein, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | He has contributed numerous editorials and letters to leading national newspapers, and has published over 100 press releases, over the last decade, on the politics of cancer, and on avoidable causes of cancer, particularly in consumer products.

On the dangers of nitrosamines, this book goes on to say:
"Nitrosamines are a large group of chemicals, most of which are carcinogenic, producing tumors in a wide range of organs in a wide range of test animals. ...Nitrosamines are considered to be major human carcinogens ...due to the fact that they can be easily and rapidly synthesized by the interaction of common precursors, nitrites or oxides of nitrogen and amines, in a process called nitrosation. | Samuel S.

I do not use the word conspiracy. Within those industries one can clearly demonstrate, and Monsanto is no exception, a pattern of manipulation and suppression. But when you talk about an FDA and Monsanto conspiracy, I don't believe the word conspiracy is the rr1 most appropriate.

Part Two
THE politics of cancer THERAPY
Chapter Thirteen
CARTELS — ESCAPE FROM COMPETITION
A review of the science of cancer therapy; a summary of the politics of cancer therapy; the early history of the I.G. Farben chemical and pharmaceutical cartel; the cartel's early success in the United States; and its "marriage" with DuPont, Standard Oil, and Ford.
In Part One we presented the science of cancer therapy. Before proceeding with Part Two, the politics of cancer therapy, let's review briefly the major points previously covered. | Gary Null See book keywords and concepts | | Samuel Epstein, an occupational medicine expert who, in 1978, published a groundbreaking book called The politics of cancer. Even way back then, he and I shared grave concerns about the effects of DDT on our health, and we both worked to have that toxic chemical banned.
I believe Dr. Epstein is right when he states in The politics of cancer that there are four basic causes of cancer:
1. Cancer is caused mainly by exposure to chemical or physical agents in the environment.
2. | Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts | D., The politics of cancer Carcinogens caused by high heat cooking
Sodium nitrite isn't the only problem found in bacon, by the way. The very process of cooking the bacon can also result in the formation of dangerous carcinogens:
It is well-known that foods cooked at high temperatures inflict massive damage to the genes. A research group at the University of Minnesota reported that women who eat very well done hamburgers have a 50 percent greater risk of breast cancer than women who eat hamburgers rare or medium. | Doris J.
