...birthday party for a nonagenarian Texas oil millionaire is an unlikely occasion for the announcement of a new treatment that may be effective against some forms of cancer.

Yet both these elements were present last week in the excitement over a procedure that has given signs of success in the case of just one cancer parent...
...born John Keener Wadley, who lost his only grandson to leukemia in 1943, has since given more than $2,000,000 to the J. K. and Susie L. Wadley Research Institute in Dallas. When he turned 90, Wadley was confident that the Institute had now struck it rich in cancer research.

Similarly, there is no evidence that the pills cause blood clots that might travel to the lungs or develop in the brain. But for safety's sake, they are not prescribed for women with any history of clotting problems...
...faith-healing department, Cayce recommended one or two almonds a day as a cancer preventive, peanut-oil massage for diabetes and, to relieve fatigue, foot baths in hot coffee brewed from used grounds. Stearn arrays-or arraigns-a host of witnesses, almost none of them named, who were snatched from certain decay by the diagnoses that Cayce delivered in his trances...
