"In Mexico there is Ernesto
Contreras, M.D., who, for over three decades, has operated the Good
Samaritan Cancer Clinic (now called the
Oasis Hospital) in Tijuana. He is one of Mexico’s most distinguished medical
figures. He received postgraduate training at Harvard’s Children’s Hospital in
Boston. He has served as Professor of Histology and Pathology at the Mexican
Army Medical School and as the chief pathologist at the Army Hospital in Mexico
City. Dr. Contreras was introduced to Laetrile in 1963 by a terminal cancer
patient from the United States who brought it to his. attention and urged him to
treat her with it. The woman recovered, and Dr. Contreras began extensive
investigation of its properties and use. Since that time he has treated many
thousands of cancer patients, most of whom are American citizens who have been
denied the freedom to use Laetrile in their own country Dr. Contreras has
summarized his experiences with vitamin therapy as follows:
The palliative action [improving the comfort and well-being of the patient]
is in about 60% of the cases. Frequently, enough to be significant, I see arrest
of the disease or even regression in some 15% (1) of the very advanced cases.
1. Cancer News Journal, Jan. /April, 1971, p. 20. We must bear in mind that
these are terminal patients—people who have been given up as hopeless by
orthodox medicine. Fifteen percent recovery in that group is a most impressive
accomplishment. [World Without Cancer by Edward Griffin]
