Laetrile : nutritional control for cancer with vitamin B-17

More than fifteen years have gone by since LAETRILE— CONTROL FOR CANCER by Glenn D. Kittler first ap- peared. Little did I realize, when writing the foreword to this important book, that today, so many years later, the Laetrile controversy would be raging not only unabated but with ever growing ferocity. In this powerful sequel to his orginal work, Mr. Kittler chronicles the important happenings of these long and inter- vening years and takes a searching look at what lies ahead. Once again I am privileged to contribute a few thoughts by way of a foreword to this expanded and updated version of Glenn Kittler’s widely read original work. In my previous foreword, I made a strong plea for all con- cerned to work together in harmony to better solve this most serious problem of the worsening cancer epidemic. I wrote then: “With the positive cooperation of the American Cancer Society and the American Medical Association, cancer could soon join the list of those diseases which mankind no longer fears. The reward, in terms of human happiness alone, could be immense.” Today, fifteen weary years later, I am not so naive. In place of the expected cooperation, we have endured these past fifteen years, an hysterical and ill-informed cam- paign mounted by the “Cancer Establishment”.
