Summary: Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant
Review: If you have ever wondered about the Cancer Industry and wondered how it developed or who is who in the Cancer Industry or if you ever just had a feeling that all is not well where cancer treatments are concerned, then this book by Ralph Moss outlines in great detail the development of the Cancer Industry. It is absolutely fascinating. I highly recommend it as excellent reading for anyone with any serious interest in cancer, health or if you like fascinating books

Summary: Prepare To Be Less Trusting After Reading This Expose
Review: Moss has written a provocative book about how various factions in the cancer industry have become corrupted by the old, familiar struggle for money and power.
One of the more interesting chapters deals with the battle between a brilliant researcher in Houston named Stanislaw Burzynski and the cancer industry establishment. Members of the establishment are portrayed as favoring the use of patentable chemicals or synthetic drugs over any natural methods of treatment , such as that pioneered by Burzynski.
In discussing the cancer establishment Moss explains the make-up and activities of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, The American Cancer Society, The National Cancer Institute and The Food and Drug Administration.
My experience in reading this book has left me with even less trust in the people and organizations responsible for waging this country's war on cancer.

Summary: Thank you Ralph Moss
Review: Ralph Moss shows tremendous courage as well as scholarly dedication. His book exposes the cancer industry for its greed and cynicism toward patients. The cancer industry's position on chemotherapy is such a BIG LIE that it is almost impossible not to believe some of it. I have to read this book over and over for it to sink in. Every cancer survivor should read this book.

Summary: Question Everything
Review: What always suprises me is how quick people are to distrust millions of healthcare professionals after reading a single book written by one person. Perhaps Mr. Moss is correct in his some of his allegations; but in the interests of truth, it's incumbent on the reader to consider opposing arguments. Often this yields interesting results. For instance, Mr. Moss alleges that Dr. Sugiura's work was never repeated or refuted. In point of fact, at least six major cancer research institutions repeated Dr. Sugiura's experiments with negative results. This is one of a myriad of problems with this book. Caveat emptor -- let the buyer beware.
