Cancer - Through The Prism Of History (Very good read)

Hodgkin's cancer under attack

When Virginia Livingston was a student at Bellevue Medical College her pathology teacher mentioned, rather disparagingly, that there was a woman pathologist at Cornell who thought Hodgkin's disease (a form of glandular cancer) was caused by avian tuberculosis.[1] This lady had published, but no one had confirmed her findings.

Afterwards, Livingston compared slides of both. In Hodgkin's, the large multinucleated giant cells were called Reed­Sternberg cells. They were similar to the giant cells of tuberculosis, which formed to engulf the tubercle bacilli. Livingston stored away in her memory that this lady pathologist was probably right but she would have a difficult time in gaining acceptance.

By 1931, Pathologist Elsie L'Esperance was seeing 'acid fast' tuberculosis-like bacteria riddling her Hodgkin's cancer tissue samples. And that germ, once injected into guinea pigs, caused them to come down with Hodgkin's too, fulfilling Koch's postulates. L'Esperance brought her stained slides to former teacher and prominent Cornell cancer pathologist James Ewing. Ewing initially confirmed that her tissue slides were indeed Hodgkin's. But when he found out that her slides came through guinea pig inoculation of the avian (fowl) tuberculosis she had found in humans with Hodgkin's, Ewing, visibly upset, said that the slides then could not be cancer.

It betrayed his checkered history of high-placed medical politician. In 1907, you could have approached Dr. James Ewing about a cancer germ, and he would have embraced you over it. At that time, both for he and the rest of the nations medical authorities, it was not a question of whether cancer was caused by a germ, but which one. Was not it Ewing, at one time, who had proclaimed that tuberculosis followed Hodgkin’s cancer “like a shadow”?

But shortly after, James Ewing, “the Father of Oncology”, sent a sword thru the heart of an infectious cause of cancer with “Neoplastic Diseases” [2], becoming an ambitious zealot for radiation therapy with the directorship of what would one day be called Sloan–Kettering squarely on his mind. His entry lay in prominent philanthropist James Douglas. A vote for Ewing, Douglas knew, was a vote for continued radiation and James Douglas began sizeable uranium extraction operations from Colorado mines thru his company, Phelps Dodge, Inc.[34].

If you're interested, read the whole piece. He also has a couple of other articles out there about cancer.

I never really paid much attention to it but as I grow older-more friends & family seem to become inflicted the more I learn.

Plus, with all the things that get identfied as cancer causing each year.... won't be long be there will be less things that can kill you opposed to what can kill you.

I have to admit that I am very surprised more people didn't comment/input on this topic/thread.

Something that could effect anyone of us.

Gues many don't worry about it until........

this lady is amazing,,, and i think your right,,,,, we are very busy,,, and until you or a family member has cancer ,,, then this becomes gold and priceless.

plus i think we aren't as shocked or outraged because we all pretty much realize the scam that is big pharma,,, and that true alternatives exist and work


someone will surely make use of this ,, just maybe not today

good thread

how can i use this information to my advantage? If a member of my family is being diagnosed with possible having hodgkins disease, does this information help me at all?

I am not being sarcastic, I would just like to know how i might apply this information to a real life situation. thanks
