CANCER OF THE ENDOCRINE GLANDS
Case Histories Include
Cancer of the Thyroid
Cancer of the
thyroid is very slow rowing and, therefore,
it is not unusual to find cases involving
five-year survival following orthodox
therapy. Surgical removal of the thyroid,
however, can result in nerve paralysis. (1)
Leukemia has been shown to be related to the
previous use of radioactive iodine to treat
cancer of the thyroid. (2) The following
case history should be read with these facts
in mind.

A156JC: Cancer of the Thyroid
Mrs. A.
noticed a lump on her neck in March, 1973.
The lump was removed and, because of the
diagnosis of cancer, further surgery was
performed two days later. Following surgery,
the radioactive thyroid scan was negative.
Despite
assurance from her doctor that all was well,
the patient herself described being
constantly tired and feeling a lump in her
throat during the summer of 1973.
September,
1973, a second radioactive Thyroid scan was
done, and this time it was positive,
indicating the presence of cancer.
Therefore, a radical thyroid gland removal,
including removal of muscle and lymph nodes,
was performed. This was done in October of
1973. It was followed by an "Atomic
Cocktail," (presumably, a drink of
radio-active iodine) which, she stated, was
supposed to "wipe out the rest of the
cancer."
What happened
next is described in the patient’s
own words:
I recovered
slowly through the winter of 1973. . . .
Then in July. 1974, my health really went
down hill. I lost about thirty pounds. I had
yellow dark skin (1) and dark around my
eyes. I was constantly tired. I slept a
great deal and felt sleepy the rest of the
time. It was around this time I first heard
of Laetrile. I felt the treatments I had
been receiving were ineffective, and so I
chose to come to the Richardson Clinic.
Dr. Richardson
did not make any promises to me, but within
ten days of beginning nutritional therapy
and Laetrile, I noted considerable
improvement. My eyes and skin returned to
their normal color. I stopped losing weight,
the terrible tired feeling left, as did the
pain....
Friend and
relatives who have watched my progress are
amazed at how well I look.... We’ve had a
number of cases of cancer in my family on
both sides. I am the only one who has taken
Laetrile and I am the only one who has
survived.

of the skin is a very ominous
sign—indicating liver involvement. |
