"According to the ACS: This misconception may be based in part on a misunderstanding of positron emission tomography (PET) scans. Doctors use PET scans to help determine the location of a tumor and see if it has spread. During a PET scan, your doctor injects a small amount of radioactive tracer — typically a form of glucose — into your body. All tissues in your body absorb some of this tracer. But tissues that are using more energy — exhibiting increased metabolic activity — absorb greater amounts. Tumors are often more metabolically active than healthy tissues." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"That's really sweet of you," I said, "but we have too much work to get done." The acs conference was the following weekend. Jackie pulled out the piece of paper and laid it in the middle of the picnic table. "We've made a list of all the jobs left to finish and divided them up." Larry and I looked at the list: • Finish cutting clapboards • Caulk around floor edges • Install dartboard • Screw clapboards • Finish staining clapboards in visitors' center • Stain outside clapboards • Epoxy floor He laughed. " - Linda Faillace, Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm (Get the book.)

"But the acs says breast cancer incidence rates have increased lately in women older than 50. Among the risks the acs lists for breast cancer are long menstrual history (early onset of menses and late menopause) and use of oral contraceptives and postmenopausal estrogens and progestin. These risk factors increase the lifetime exposure to estrogen. The connection between excess estrogen and certain cancers is clear. Harmful estrogens are difficult to detoxify and are stored in fat." - Holly Lucille, Creating and Maintaining Balance: A Woman's Guide to Safe Natural Hormone Health (Get the book.)

"As the acs tour bus climbed the last hill toward the farm, I told the group that I had yet to see Bruce's work and encouraged them to give him a kind word. Today would be the first day the store was open. The bus pulled into the large parking lot, and everyone made their way to the cheese facility where Jackie and Larry were waiting to give the tour. I stayed in the back of the group and couldn't help but grin ear to ear as I listened to my twelve-year-old answer questions on equipment, starter cultures, and the process of creating artisanal cheeses." - Linda Faillace, Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm (Get the book.)

"Recognizing the need to gather information on the lives of millions of people and well aware of the limits of funding, Hammond came up with a brilliant way to make use of ACS's legions of earnest volunteers. Over a period of four years, volunteers—most of them women—were carefully trained in how to gather and record information and then sent out to query their neighbors on their occupation, lifestyle and smoking habits. The effort was not without risk." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"The acs recommends that you limit the amount you drink to two drinks, two times weekly. Q A new test from Genomic Health of Redwood City, -California, could be helpful to patients who have early breast cancer and must make treatment decisions. The test looks at twenty-one different genes thought to play a role in developing cancerous cells, using them as predictors as to whether a tumor would return after initial treatment. The thrust of the test is to predict whether or not chemotherapy is necessary in individual cases." - Phyllis A.

"A relatively recent report based on information provided to the stalwart volunteers of the acs has shown that the chance of getting lung cancer, a disease that can take decades to develop, is greatest for those who have lived in places with the dirtiest air in the United States.2 Of a half million volunteers sampled in recent years, those who lived in cities with the highest levels of air pollution had about 30 percent more lung cancer. Similar work has been done in Sweden, England, and more than twenty other nations." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.) "When he signed the National Cancer Act officially launching the war on cancer in 1971, President Nixon was riding a public ground-swell that it had taken the acs over twenty-five years to build. He was also trying to head off his political rival, Sen. Edward Kennedy, who was viewed as a champion of medical research. The president would lead a war everybody could love, a popular war that would divert the public from the one America was then losing in Southeast Asia. Nixon had been well briefed by scientists and leaders of the American Cancer Society." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"Many donors to the acs would be outraged to learn that this organization has a vested interest in the sale of drugs and a financial tie-in with the drug industry. The acs denies that it has ever received any money for its share of the patent. When the author wrote to Hoffman-LaRoche suggesting that this was strange in-as-much as such payments would help to fund acs "humanitarian programs," Mr. Samuel L." - G. Edward Griffin, World Without Cancer (Get the book.)

"New drugs, treatment regimens, and better diagnostic techniques have improved the outlook for many, and are responsible, according to the acs, for a decline in breast cancer death rates. Q For agencies and organizations that can provide more information and services for people with breast cancer, see health and medical organizations in the Appendix. BREAST-FEEDING-RELATED PROBLEMS Breast-feeding, or lactation, is the natural way in which the mother of a newborn can feed her child instead of relying on cow's milk or artificial formula preparations." - Phyllis A.

"In 1991, statisticians at the acs attempted to resolve these differences through a massive study of aspirin use and colon cancer. They found that regular use of aspirin was indeed linked to a 40 to 50 percent reduction in the risk of death from either colon or rectal cancer. The acs study involved more than 660,000 people. Those who regularly took more than 15 aspirin tablets a month had only 60 percent the death rate from colon-rectal cancer as those who did not use aspirin. Similar results have also been seen with other NSAIDs, such as Advil® and Nuprin® (10)." - Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D., Cancer Therapy: The Independent Consumer's Guide To Non-Toxic Treatment & Prevention (Get the book.) "In the US, the principal components of this "cancer establishment" are the NCI; the American Cancer Society (ACS); the twenty-odd comprehensive cancer centers, such as New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering and Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; an extensive network of NCI and acs contractees and grantees at most major universities; the leading pharmaceutical houses; and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates the marketplace on behalf of the very industries it is supposed to oversee." - Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D., Cancer Therapy: The Independent Consumer's Guide To Non-Toxic Treatment & Prevention (Get the book.)

"It would be difficult to overstate the influence the acs has held over the direction of cancer therapeutics and the concomitant exclusion of unconventional approaches. Perhaps the greatest irony of the acs "Unproven Methods of Cancer Management" blacklist is that most of these treatments have not been tested at all. If they are "unproven," they are certainly not disproven. Of the approximately seventy-eight methods listed through the 1980s, only 31 percent showed negative clinical findings. There had been no investigation at all for 41 percent. The findings were inconclusive for 16 percent." - Kenny Ausubel, When Healing Becomes A Crime: The Amazing Story of the Hoxsey Cancer Clinics and the Return of Alternative Therapies (Get the book.) "The acs itself spent a quarter of its bounty on research, all within the close network of allied institutions headed by Memorial Sloan-Kettering. The acs created a booklet called "Unproven Methods of Cancer Management" to discredit unconventional cancer therapies. It became a blacklist for "worthless remedies" and "cancer quackery." Whoever had the mishap to appear in its rogues' gallery was assured of losing research funding and becoming prone to prosecution." - Kenny Ausubel, When Healing Becomes A Crime: The Amazing Story of the Hoxsey Cancer Clinics and the Return of Alternative Therapies (Get the book.) "Eventually the therapy was vindicated to some degree in clinical trials with support from a former vice president of Memorial Sloan-Kettering, as evidenced by its eventual quiet disappearance from the acs blacklist. The acs also publishes a "Reach to Recovery" handbook for its volunteers, who are cancer survivors and who visit other patients with their type of cancer. The program's handbook directs volunteers to "always maintain a positive attitude toward conventional treatment methods," while cautioning not to "promote unconventional therapies." - Kenny Ausubel, When Healing Becomes A Crime: The Amazing Story of the Hoxsey Cancer Clinics and the Return of Alternative Therapies (Get the book.)

"So far, the acs has sent three fakes, which the doctors picked up. The acs and NCI always say that we just want to take the money and run. "After that, I talk with one of the M.D.s to decide whether to take each patient. Does the patient have a chance [to get better with IAT] or not? If there is no chance, they go home. We don't win any prizes for just taking patients. "The first three days, they are treated with subefficacious doses [amounts designed only to test a reaction to the substance]. The first day, we give one-fifth of the effective dose." - Gary Null, Get Healthy Now with Gary Null: A Complete Guide to Prevention, Treatment and Healthy living (Get the book.)

"Says acs medical sociologist Helen Sheehan, who serves as director of Professional Education Programs for the acs, "I suspect that because of the atmosphere created during the laetrile period there may have been some zealotry on the part of the committee. I think laetrile created a lot of that atmosphere and they [the patients using laetrile] were using hydrazine. In fact," she notes, "they still are, and there are still all sorts of underground ways to get hydrazine outside of clinical trials." . . ." - Michael Lerner, Choices in Healing: Integrating the Best of Conventional and Complementary Approaches to Cancer (Get the book.)

"Each year, just before the ACS's annual fund-raising drive, we are bombarded with news stories of an imminent breakthrough that could change the lives of millions of sufferers. Months after the collection pots have been passed, there is still no breakthrough and the human toll in suffering continues. According to the acs, more than 1.2 million Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in 1999, and 563,000 will die of it." - Gary Null, Get Healthy Now with Gary Null: A Complete Guide to Prevention, Treatment and Healthy living (Get the book.)

"Porter/Novelli works for NCI and has provided free services to the acs for over 20 years. It persuaded the national office of acs to issue a memo downplaying the risk of cancer from pesticides. "The program makes unfounded suggestions . . . that pesticide residues in food may be at hazardous levels," said the memo, which the pesticide industry cited as "evidence" that the Moyers documentary overstated dangers to children from pesticides." - John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton, Toxic Sludge is Good For You: Lies, Damn Lies and the Public Relations Industry (Get the book.)

"In 1982, the acs adopted a highly restrictive cancer policy that insisted on unequivocal human evidence of carcinogenicity before taking any position on public health hazards (pages 484-490). Accordingly, the acs still trivializes or rejects evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals, and has actively campaigned against laws (the 1958 Delaney Law, for instance) that ban deliberate addition to food of any amount of any additive shown to cause cancer in either animals or humans." - Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., The Politics of Cancer Revisited (Get the book.)

"Source: American Cancer Society In 1996, the acs predicted 555,000 deaths, but some statisticians concluded the actual number was close to 700,000 people that died from malignancies. Could it be that their poor nutritional habits have affected their mathematical skills? A depressing picture of "approved" treatments against cancer (surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy) is revealed in an evaluation made by the acs." - Francisco, M.D. Contreras, Health in the 21st Century: Will Doctors Survive? (Get the book.)

"If the many effective, nontoxic approaches to cancer known today were finally approved by the 379 FDA and supported by the acs and NCI, there would be many more people starting to use these approaches in earlier stages of their illness. This factor alone could make recovery rates for non-toxic approaches soar to record highs, and cause cancer deaths to decrease dramatically. Some people believe that if effective alternative treatments were to become mainstream, then millions of people would suddenly be out of work who are currently employed by the conventional cancer industry." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.)
