This book just has too many facts and not enough 'do's'. I expected an easier read, and I never even finished it. It was just too lengthy and read like a medical journal almost. I love the idea of a World without Cancer, but it has to be reader friendly first.

I've read a huge number of books on cancer cures (Rife, Kelley, Gerson, PH diet, etc.) - and this is probably the best. Your learn how to cure cancer and then get made at how dumb the American public is to keep giving money to the cancer movement. This money eventually goes toward killing people by making laws to limit personal freedom and outlaw real cures like Rife and B17/B15. If enough people can read this book and get mad the cancer cures will be released. Great book. Learn how people are murdered for money.

Every living soul should read this book, it is still possible to die of natural causes - old age. This book will help you in not becoming another disease ridden statistic.

This book is amazing ! I give it a 10 ! I learned so much ! get it and stay healthy !

G. Edward Griffin outlines a very interesting story on the medical and political/monetary issues of cancer. A very interesting read. Very overwhelming at times when Mr. Griffin describes the manipulation that has gone on to prevent the use of a safe, effective and inexpensive treatmant for cancer. I would never trust a single source for a story of this magnitude, but Mr. Griffin outlines the story and evidence quite well with many references to where this evidence comes from, often times which is congressional testimony. Well worth the read as is his other book, "The Creature from Jekyll Island".

A fascinating review of Leatrile therapy for Cancer which was dismissed as 'quackery' by the FDA and most of the modern medical world in the 1970's. But it doesn't stop there as it covers the present system of health care and medical education,Drug company cartels in modern day and how they developed in Europe during the Nazi rule of Germany and continuing into world war two and basically how the new world order has been controlling our health care and pharmecutical industry for decades. It contains vital information that has been covered up by these organisations which, when you consider that 1 in 3 people will suffer from Cancer at some point in their life, probably everybody should read.

One in four of us will get cancer, that is scary!! What is more scary that we have put forth over 2 trillion dollars in cancer 'research' and yet they are treating cancer that exact same way they have since the 70's. Radiation, surgery and chemo are barbaric, expensive and unsuccessful! b17 WORKS and this book written in 1974 proves that!! You can find the vitamin by searching 'laetrile'. Another great must have book is 'Cancer step outside the box by Ty Bollinger. This book has many proven cancer cures. Also listen to the cd Dead doctors don't lie. Its very enlightening about the medical field and how most diseases start from a simple deficiency.

I feel this book should be read by everyone in this country. To know that there is a cure for cancer is not being reported but hidden from us all.

The first time I read it was 30 years ago and wanted to get this again to read and share. No need to suffer or die from this disease. Thank you,

There is a cure for everything out there. All one has to do is turn to the nature. FDA and others are deliberately withholding or even actively preventing from getting out the information about natural products that cure. Why? it is more profitable to treat than cure decease. Buy this book with confidence. You can get the book or audio version on Ed's web-site.

Just when you thought there was no cure for cancer, out comes G Edward Griffin's book (first printing in 1974) to tell us about the great fraud of the medical profession and how the fraud got started. The first half of the book brings you up to speed about the surupticious dealings inside the cancer industry and the AMA to cover up any promising results from a drug called Laetrile, made from apricot seeds containing the vitamin B17. Also, in part one is a very interesting thesis on the orgin of cancer and trophoblasts which are stem cells found in pregnancy that behave the same way cancer cells do. Read about the Rockefellers, the Nazi's and the FDA's attemts to squash alternative appoaches to cancer for the benefit of the pharmeceutal companies and their cartel's. The bottom line is that it's all about money. This book begs the question: What do oncologists do when they devolop cancer themselves? Do they take the poison they push on their trusting patients or do they go to Canada to get a dose of Laetrile? After reading this book, you may never trust your doctor again!!!!

World Without Cancer by G. Edward Griffin is a priceless book for many different reasons. First and foremost, it is a critical read if you or anyone you care about is suffering from Cancer. It clearly explains what Cancer really is, why all mainstream treatments have all failed miserably, and what a person looking to prevent or cure Cancer should do. Along with this thorough explanation of Cancer comes an equally thorough history of the business of treating the ill. This information is vital to anyone interested in modern medicine or modern American History. Once you finish reading this book, you will not only know how to deal with the this terrible condition we call Cancer, but you will also know how to educate yourself and take responsibility for your health and wellbeing.

This is such a practical book and very helpful in the "where do I go if I have cancer" question. It gives you hope that cancer does not have to be a death bed. You do have alternatives to radiation and chemo. A must read book

As an "alternative" practitioner, it sure does get tedious to hear the question, "If it worked so well, then why isn't it all over the news and talked about by every M.D. and cancer researcher?" With the answer often being, "because it works too well and no real money can be made from it", most people grapple with the implications and ultimately write it off as some crazy conspiracy theory. This is the saddest, most frustrating, and even ridiculous type of road block to encounter when attempting to educate and help very ill people. It ultimately reveals the extent to which we've all been programmed (and I don't use that term lightly here). If you don't like the word "conspiracy", then use another, but it doesn't change the fact that a small group of greedy, powerful people are keeping vital health info from the rest of us for a variety of self-serving reasons.

This book reviews just ONE type of natural therapy (from dozens if not hundreds) that has and does work, but was felled by politics, economics, greed, corruption, and possibly plain old evil. You will find very similar accounts of Vitamin C, Rife technologies, homeopathics, magnetic therapy, ozone, chelation and many others. Same old story for the last 120 years or so. Some of us seem to get very rich, the rest of us suffer and then die. You can ask "why" all you want, but I suggest you take off your blinders, turn off the "boob-tube", and get off the sofa and do some serious research into these matters before you or your loved ones are felled by our modern health care industry.

Let me break it down for you, The book ledges Apricot Seeds contain chemically locked(inert) amounts of Cyanide. Coincidently, cancer cells contain the magic protein that unlocks the Cyanide, in effect poisoning itself when it comes in contact with B17! It's a Miracle!

Before you start coveting your neighbors Apricot Tree you must ask yourself; If this were true, don't you think it would be more widely in use today, and all over the news? The Herbal medicine industry would make a ton of money selling this cheap gold-mine.

This is where the book takes a sharp LEFT turn and tells us that Big Government has falsified documents to hide the truths behind B17 and that is why we must pull the troops out of Iraq. ;-) Well, the book doesn't turn that sharp of a LEFT, but you get the point..... IMHO I believe prayer has more proof of healing than B17. However if I had Cancer, I'd be one Apricot Seed eating, drinking, snorting, smoking, junky right now. But I WOULD NOT, WOULD NOT, WOULD NOT, stop my Chemotherapy, colonoscopy, or whatever! Ask your Doctor if taking small doses of B17 as a daily supplement will hurt/hinder any treatments he's prescribing and go with that. Good luck in finding this stuff at your local Healthfood / Herbal remedy store.

I highly recommend it to anyone who is conserned about their own health or the health of their loved ones. What you will learn here will blow you away.

This book will change your life as it has changed mine - or rather my sister's. My sister was diagnosed with cancer of the uterus - stage 3 with two softball sized tumors. She's never taken B-17 before, but gave it a try as she was too weak for chemo\rediation. She's had health problems before so she's not even the heathiest person around. This was a year ago - she's alive and healthy today with a councer count of a 9!!! She had a full hysterectomy (sp?) at Mayo Clinic and they recommended Chemo\Radiation (ha!!!). Instead she continued her Laetrile therapy and takes Apricot Kernals regurlarly. I now am eating Apricot Kernals as well. It's time to wake up!!!!

This book reveals much about ACS, FDA, and BIG PHARMA! All is sad for the cancer patient and consumer.

I notice the usual few negative reviews from those who either havnt actually read the book or just dont understand how the cancer industry works and makes money. Those who believe like M. Herman that we should goto the watchdog sites. I assume he means quackbusters etc, that site is a confirmed drug company funded site! Watchdog sites are simply to keep people in the mainstream where they will only ever find expensive treatments for pain or chemo that is statistically proven to be effective in only 3% of cases of cancer. B17 has been statistically proven to be over 95% effective if u read the book! I know where my moneys going! to the supermarket and into nutrients and a good diet, not some stupid drug companys synthetic chemical that kills off healthy and cancerous cells at the same rate and which has never been proven effective in over 50 years!
Its just unfathomable some peoples attitudes to "alternative" medicine, lets call it "nutritional medicine" instead. Mainstream allopathic medicine should be renamed "Toxic Medicine" as that is what it really is!

The cancer-fighting nutrient most proven to date is selenium. A daily supplement of 200 microgram of selenium, has been shown in a large placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical study -- the most prestigious type of scientific study of nutrients and drugs -- to cut the death rate from cancer in half.

Specifically, a large group of people who were given each day a yeast tablet enriched with 200 micrograms (mcg) of selenium had only half the number of deaths from cancer over a seven year period as a similarly large control group who were given a daily yeast tablet containing no selenium. Yeast tablets enriched with 200 mcg of selenium are readily available at pharmacies as well as health stores across the U.S. for about $5 or so for a bottle of 50 to 100 tablets -- only 10 cents or less per day -- I do.

The results of this dramatic study were published in the medical profession's own journal: The Journal of the American Medical Association. Nevertheless, most doctors pay no attention to the results. Think about that, selenium (at 10 cents per day or less) has been shown in a large clinical study to cut the death rate from cancer in half and nobody tells the public about it. Incredible! In my opinion, as a research chemist, everybody in the U.S. should take supplemental selenium every day.

Other good cancer fighters include vitamin C, vitamin E, CoQ10, and lycopene.

I have not writing this review to speak against vitamin B17, but rather to advocate other nutrients known to help fight cancer.

The claims made in this book sound great, until you look at the other side of the Laetrile (a.k.a. B17) story.

I just can't find a CREDIBLE source that endorses Laetrile. According to the book that's because the Feds are out to get 'em. All mainstream Oncologists (or any M.D. for that matter) are part of a vast conspiracy fueled by greed and thinly veiled homicidal tendencies. (I should add suicidal to the list since DOCTORS DIE FROM CANCER TOO.)
We all need something to believe in when life stops being wonderful and gets tough, scary and incredibly unfair. When your sick and the best treatments available bring only a marginal chance of survival (sometimes leaving you with missing parts) it's only natural to become desperate and scour every resource you've got for a better way.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES US THE PERFECT 'MARK' FOR CON-MEN/QUACKS!

If you're still curious go ahead and read the book, but don't stop there.
Look at all sides to every story when considering treatment options, it's not like you have to believe every point of view you're exposed to.

Go to the watchdog sites and look up Laetrile/B17. Checkout the wrap sheet of the individuals marketing this stuff, cross reference your search and look at what other miracles they market. Ask yourself...
� Do the articles and testimonials for these different products seem to be a form letter.
� How do they find the time to become experts in virtually every field of medical science and discover a cure for EVERY major disease known to man?
� Are they really a doctor? Did the school they earned their diploma from have authority to grant doctoral degrees in that field?
� What is the success rate and where are the reports to prove it? If there are no records, how could they be so stupid? (Our brightest minds have been toiling for decades and they have records of every tiny success and huge failure.)
� There are dozens products for every bodily function known to man on the shelves of vitamin shops. They are there legally even though most are not proven or doubted by the mainstream medical community. Why is B17 allegedly singled out?
� Keep in mind that alternative therapies that WORK (i.e. Acupuncture) ARE being more widely accepted everyday.
� Many Quacks claim that their cure has been widely used in some far off land for ages and everyone there agrees it's saved numerous lives. THE WEB IS WORLD WIDE! Check it out! Are Australians being cured without a doubt or has their government just not gotten around to banning the product yet?
Making an informed decision is a lot of work, but it's a worthy investment of time if it prevents you from trading your life for a lie.

Though I know Griffin is a credible researcher, I nonetheless tracked down several cancer survivors who have used laetrile to cure their condition, and vitamin distributors who have had B-17 seized by the FDA. There is no substitute for primary sources, and those I interviewed substantiated Griffin's main claims.

Individuals unfamiliar with B-17's remarkable results often scoff at such alternative medical "lunacy". Two caveats may aid the hard-nosed skeptic. As Griffin admits candidly, B-17 isn't a magic cure-all; it is a key component in a holistic regimen that requires serious lifestyle changes and genuine sacrifice. The mere fact that the FDA outlawed laetrile is not prima facie proof that it fails to cure cancer; an open minded individual might ask, "Does scientific evidence proving that laetrile cures cancer exist?"

Griffin provides this evidence. His thesis is that cancer is a vitamin deficiency disease analogous to scurvy and that mainstream "treatments" such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery are quackery analogous to colonial bloodletting. The book is divided into two sections, one which defines cancer and its cure, and a second that explains how and why this knowledge was suppressed.

Some complain that the first portion of the book is boring, excessively technical, and textbookish. This isn't Harry Potter or Danielle Steel! It is an explanation of complex biological processes. Amazing claims require stringent proof, and Griffin takes the time to make his case fastidiously, in terms laymen can understand.

Griffin explains that cancer is caused by fast-growing quasi-embryonic cells which are used by the body in healing. The body uses enzymes secreted by the pancreas to turn this process off when healing is completed, but these enzymes are also used in digestion, and moderners who deviate from our intended hunter-gather diet squander them breaking down processed food. In the absence of these prohibitive enzymes, the quasi-embryonic cells grow unchecked. This is cancer. To cure or prevent it, one reverts to a diet that does not drain the enzymes, and supplements their supply by ingesting an external source--B-17. Mainstream treatments are a failure because they do not address this underlying cause of cancer; Griffin explains why chemo, radiation, and surgery victims who survive do so spite of these procedures, not because of them.

Griffin does an excellent job of synthesizing many divergent factors into a coherent biological summary of cancer. B-17's active ingredient is cyanide, and he debunks the myth that the vitamin is the equivalent of a secret agent's suicide capsule. He also provides damning statistical comparisons of holistic and conventional treatment methods.

The second part of the book is much drier, but it is necessary. Griffin journeys back to WWII and documents the evolution of IG Farben, the Nazi supercorporation which was the largest business structure to ever exist. This portion is a long, often boring read, but I can't envision anything shorter driving home the truth: that modern chemical corporations which are Farben's scions used tax-exempt foundations and government agencies like the FDA to hijack the medical education and physician treatment selection process, creating a drug-biased system that maximizes pharmaceutical profits.

It is easy to chant the power-and-profit-stifle-more-viable-treatments mantra, but it is a much more difficult task to prove what so many suspect. Griffin succeeds, proceeding like a prosecutor and systematically documenting causalities. His discouraging conclusion is that there will not be a world without cancer until pharmaceutical corporations can create a synthetic B-17 drug which offers profit levels comparable to those earned by chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.

Many individuals dogmatically refuse to believe that there are individuals who would suppress a low-priced, natural, highly-effective cancer treatment merely to make money. This emotional people-can't-be-that-evil response is unscientific. Such behaviors are reminiscent of individuals who refused to believe the stories of NAZI concentration camps--even after seeing pictures. Griffin cites everything, and any diligent researcher can confirm his claims, as I have.

Enzyme supplements. Juice fasts. Detoxification. Robert Becker's Nobel-nominated work with dedifferentiation in salamanders. Pleomorphism. Pondering these potential additions to the cancer picture, I find myself agreeing with others who consider the work somewhat dated. This does not mean that Griffin's theory is disproven or obsolete, but cutting-edge holistic treatment utilizes other components that he mentions only briefly. Griffin's intention doesn't seem to be a "Treat Yourself" manual, but rather a summary of the biological and political mechanisms that have created the cancer holocaust. In this mission World Without Cancer succeeds admirably.

G. Edward Griffin's book was one of the first I read in my education about "alternative" cancer treatments in 1998. It really jump-started my interest in the topic. It makes a convincing case about the suppression of Laetrile, an effective cancer treatment. It makes a less convincing case concerning the international conspiracy of John D. Rockefeller, I.G. Farben and Hitler to "take over the world."

Certainly, there is corruption and collusion in politics and medicine caused by the huge amount of money involved in cancer treatment. However, "Politics in Cancer" by Daniel Haley gives a much more objective and well-documented view of this.

Ed Griffin's book was first published in 1974. Although he updated it in 1997, it is still something of a dinosaur in today's Internet world. I would certainly never recommend that any cancer patient rely on just one substance or type of therapy. Every cancer and every patient is a complex of variables. Only a multi-pronged approach to treatment can raise the odds of becoming cancer-free into the 90%-plus range, where they belong, with today's wide array of options.

medicine is became to be only bussines i think?! i love this book, good luck.

It has been disproven and BANNED in the US. It used to be available here and too many people died so they took it off the market, and rightly so. They call it Vitamin B17 to avoid the drug laws, it's just avoidance. The only reason it's still around, is cause it's so expensive to treat with and makes the doctors RICH.

I would not recommend this book to anyone seriously in need of information about alternative cancer therapies. As an example of the low quality of the research, the author's use of quotes from tabloids should suffice. The book is filled with the author's paranoid, John-Birch-Society conspiracy theories linking the pharmaceutical industry, the Rockefellers, and the Communist plot to take over the world. The only reason I give it two stars rather than one is that there is actually some worthwhile information in the book; however, finding it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Not worth the effort.

If you really want high-quality, scientific information on alternative cancer thereapies, start with Ralph Moss' The Cancer Industry.

Good luck!
