"Few if any names in cancer research
are as widely known as Kanematsu Sugiura’s... Possibly the highest regard in which his
work is held is best characterized by a comment made by an investigator
in cancer research from Russia. He said, "When Dr Sugiura publishes, we know we don’t
have to repeat the study, for we would obtain the same results he has reported."" So
wrote Dr C Chester Stock, Dr Kanematsu Sugiura, arguably America’s leading cancer
biochemist of the ‘70s.
West Germany: Dr Hans Nieper: former
Director of the Department of Medicine
at Silbersee Hospital in Hanover in 1972,

known cancer treatment or preventative. In my opinion,
it is the only existing possibility
for the ultimate control of cancer."
Canada: Dr N R Bouziane
former Director of Research Laboratories at St Jeanne D’Arc Hospital in Montreal: his

of terminal cancer patients... "

Brazil in 1954 and announced startling results with laetrile in successfully
combating many types of cancer,
including cervix, breast, uterus and rectum. After his speech, an American doctor
rose in
the audience, challenging the Italian professor that laetrile had been found to be

what was determined in the United States. I am merely reporting what I saw in my own
clinic ."
