In 1947, following a series of critical articles about orgone and his political views in The New Republic and Harper's,[5] the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began an investigation into his claims about orgone, winning an injunction against the interstate sale of orgone accumulators. Charged with contempt of court for violating the injunction, Reich conducted his own defense, which involved sending the judge all his books to read, and arguing that a court was no place to decide matters of science. He was sentenced to two years in prison, and in August 1956, several tons of his publications were burned by the FDA in a garbage incinerator in New York City.[6][7] He died of heart failure in jail just over a year later, days before he was due to apply for parole.[8]

I can argue this both ways. If there's a guy preaching cures and the FDA (or whatever gov't agency you choose to insert here) finds that his "cure" is actually hurting people, I don't blame them for burning information. Bad information spreads like wildfire. Now add money and conspiracy theories and it spreads even faster and further.

Overt clinical signs were evident in the high-dose animals throughout the duration of the experiment. Dyspnea (shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing) was observed in high-dose animals starting at day 45, and worsened with time. Partial paralysis of the hind limbs was observed in three animals in the high-dose group during the latter half of the exposure period. Conjunctivitis was observed in 24/30 treated animals and a few controls during the first month, and became more severe later in the study. The occurrence of ocular effects appeared to be dose-related, with 8 of 10 high-dose dogs affected. Reduced food and water intake was noted in DCA-treated dogs, although the effect did not appear to be dose-related. High-dose males exhibited a 16% reduction in body weight, while high-dose females and mid-dose males experienced a 9% reduction in weight gain over the duration of the study. Mid-dose females exhibited an 11% reduction in weight gain. Dogs in the mid- and high-dose groups experienced sporadic diarrhea. The most severely affected dogs required fluid therapy to prevent severe dehydration. One female and two males treated at 72 mg/kg-day died during the study. The deaths were attributed to pneumonia and dehydration.

The cumulative incidence of hepatocellular carcinomas significantly increased in animals exposed to 1 g/L (71%), 2 g/L (95%), and 3.5 g/L (100%) when compared to controls (26%). Hepatocellular carcinoma multiplicity (tumor/animal) significantly increased in all treatment groups as follows: 0.05 g/L (0.58), 0.5 g/L (0.68), 1 g/L (1.29), 2 g/L (2.47) and 3.5 g/L (2.90) compared to the control group (0.28). The cumulative incidence of hepatocellular adenomas was also significantly increased in animals exposed to 1 g/L (51.4%), 2 g/L (42.9%), and 3.5 g/L (45%) as compared to controls (10%) and the 0.5 g/L group (20%).

I have some background in the medical field. My own wife was an MD who died yound og Cancer. Cancer is not a single disease, an aggregate of illnesses that share the body's inability to control it's own cell reproduction. So there can be no single Cancer cure because the causes and specifics vary.
Minimizing exposure to carcinogens is the mostt effective formof prevention. One shouldn't rush to judgement on condemning all of modern medicine. Admittedly the pharmaceutical giants are monstrously greedy and abuse their authority. And doctors genuinely lack the time to keep up with all literature pro and con. More modern doctors are aware that too many pharmaceuticals being used can be as threatening as some diseases. It's called adverse drug interference and kills many millions. But it is still difficult to monitor. Western medicine is slanted towards alleviating symptoms not outright cures. Advisable to anyone is to find the root causes of medical conditions and deal with them. Cancer rates will probably continue to be wildly escalated until some of the the causes are removed from our environment.
