Dr. Andrew Ivy
[back]
Therapies
World-renowned medical researcher. Researcher of "Krebiozen" (harmless chemical compound which was claimed to have observable, often curative benefits in 70% of cancer cases) suspended from membership of the Chicago Medical Society, removed from the vice presidency of the University of Illinois, and had his "resignation" accepted by both national cancer societies. AMA declared Krebiozen "worthless" six weeks after he published his research (1951) even though a properly conducted trial would take 3-5 years, dismissed all of his conclusions, discredited his research methods and suggested that his belief in the compound was due to senility.

Quotes
"Over the next three years, Krebiozin was destroyed. But to destroy Krebiozin you
first had to destroy Andrew Ivy. How do you destroy the most influential, respected
scientist in the United States? You get friends in the media. You get rid of his academic
affiliations. You start a whisper campaign. And next thing you know, nobody wants to know
the man. It took about five years, then they brought him up on a trial of fraud. It was at
that point the longest medical trial in the United States' history. At the end of it, the
jury found Ivy and the Durovic brothers innocent. Not only that, but they found
the FDA irresponsible. And the jury actually made a statement, which is rare,
about the contempt that the FDA had for honesty in what it did at trial."---Fascism
in Medicine by Gary Null, Ph.D
During the course of Dr.
Ivy’s trial, a letter was read into the court record written by a doctor
from Indianapolis. The doctor stated in his letter that he was treating a
patient who had multiple tumors, and that a biopsy of the tissue had shown
these tumors to be cancerous. The doctor said that he had obtained
Krebiozen from Dr.Ivy’s laboratories and had administered it, but that it
had done absolutely no good. When called to the witness stand, however, the
doctor’s answers were vague and evasive. Under the pressure of
cross-examination, he finally broke down and admitted that he never had
treated such a patient, never had ordered the biopsy in question, and never
had used Krebiozen even once. The whole story had been a lie. Why did he
give false testimony? His reply was that one of the FDA agents had written
the letter and asked him to sign it. He did so because he wanted to help
the agency put an end to quackery.
In September of 1963, the
FDA released a report to the effect that Krebiozen was, for all practical
purposes, the same as creatine, a common substance that was found in every
hamburger. To prove this point, they produced a photographic overlay
supposedly showing the spectograms of Krebiozen and creatine superimposed
over each other. These were published in Life magazine and other segments
of the mass communications media as “unimpeachable proof” that Krebiozen was
useless.
When Senator Paul Douglas
saw the spectrograms, he was suspicious. So he asked Dr. Scott Anderson,
one of the nation’s foremost authorities on spectograms, to make his own
study. Using standard techniques of analysis, Dr. Anderson identified
twenty-nine differences between the two substances. There were sixteen
chemical and color differences. The version released to the press by the
FDA had been carefully moved off center until there was a maximum
appearance of similarity, but when restored to the true axis, the two
were as different as night and day.
