Second Opinion: Laetrile at Sloan-Kettering
Most people would probably agree that corruption exists in multiple areas of our lives, and the documentary “Second Opinion” shows how the medical field and government agencies that are supposed to promote the health of American citizens are not immune to this corruption. The film’s mission is to uncover yet another cover-up over a natural “drug” that has not only been shown to be effective in slowing the growth of cancerous tumors, but is also inexpensive and barely patentable; Contains and suggested reasons.
Laetrile is a substance that remains illegal in the US to this day, although it is currently undergoing international clinical testing in countries such as Germany and has tested positive multiple times over the years in lab mice to slow cancer growth, even temporarily Stop the tumor. Laetrile is extracted from the apricot pit and although banned, it is harmless.
In the late 70’s, a large number of cancer patients came to Tijuana for Laetrile injections, almost 1 in 10 actually, but then things changed. In Second Opinion, Ralph Moss Ph.D. is hired as a public affairs science writer for Sloan Kettering (the famous US cancer research institute that originally did research on laetrilene), giving us insight into how public opinion is used in tests and the results are held in power They are hesitant to treat patients who test overwhelmingly positive until they deliberately falsify it. These powers include prominent figures in the fight against cancer and government agencies such as: FDA, NIH, American Cancer Society, and National Cancer Institute.
This film shows us the ongoing struggle of one man who bravely stood up for what he believed in and what he knew to be the truth, and risked everything to inform the public about the fraud committed by organizations that are now largely due to the public Supporting them lied. In addition to the film’s director’s appeal, it’s worth seeing additional footage that reveals more of the cover-ups involved, as well as more that Moss leaked while Sloan Kettering was busy with writing affairs in the public arena Verifiable facts.
These revelations, all based on real and well-documented information, will hit viewers like a ton of bricks and will hopefully inspire a change in the way we think about treating a disease that still affects so many people around the world today, and how we explain it and accept information that others provide to us.
