What consequences of Laetrile can be more disastrous than death? My father died recently after bladder surgery, chemotherapy and a belated effort with Laetrile. As he lay in the hospital wasting away and severely depressed, nothing was more heartening to him than the periodic reports from Mexico. If the effect of Laetrile is at least continued hope and a struggle against death, let those who need the hope make the decision to use Laetrile, particularly when orthodox treatments are useless...
...estate during a conference attended by 700 believers, about two-thirds of them Jewish. Leader Mike Evans, 29, presided like an auctioneer over fund-raising appeals ("Tell every single person what you want them to do. Lord") and faith-healing marathons ("There's a man with a gall bladder problem sitting over there. Well, you're God's beloved").

Nurses pay them regular visits. Family members are trained to meet their special needs. Patients may even borrow hospital equipment. It may be an everyday item like a bedpan or cane-or more complicated gear: a respirator, wheelchair or even...
...also a somewhat clubfooted end run around the so-called Delaney clause of the 1958 amendments to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, which dictates the banning of any food additives that cause cancer in humans or laboratory animals. In the case of saccharin, some Canadian rats developed bladder cancer when they were fed the sweetener in amounts that would be equivalent, in a human, to 800 cans of diet soda a day throughout his life. The Delaney clause, however, makes no mention of dosage levels. By considering saccharin a drug, the FDA allowed itself to apply less rigid standards...
