Cell Specific Cancer Therapy



Cell Specific Cancer Therapy (CSCT) has been spoken of as "the New-Age Rife Therapy". Burton Goldberg has told me that he believes it can cure about %50 of cancer patients and that, while it is expensive, there is a money-back guarentee.
Ralph Moss has told me that he could find no hard data on CSCT and that therefore, while me can't say anything specific about it, that leave him a lot of scope for doubt.
Anyway, take a look at their site for yourself - CSCT - with a pinch of salt. INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA), or degenerative joint disease, is a major public health problem. OA and back problems are the most common cause of incapacitating pain . Arthritis in general is the most frequently cited cause of self-reported disability. OA is the most common of the arthritic conditions and also the most common musculoskeletal (MSK) disorder. OA is the most frequently reported reason for long-term disability in Ontario. The overall prevalence of reported arthritis (mainly OA) was 18% of the household population (age >or = 16 years), with 2.5% of the population reporting long-term disability. OA is the foremost cause of "work disability" in North America. In a Canadian population Bradley et al found that musculoskeletal disorders were reported as a cause of morbidity, or a reason for health care utilisation, by 29% of the population aged 16 and over. They stated that MSK disorders are the most prevalent chronic conditions in developed countries and their review of the literature suggested that 20 - 40% of these populations are affected by MSK disorders. OA affects virtually all the elderly population to some degree and can be debilitating even in youth. Bradley and Tennant report that 5% of subjects 16-24 report experiencing joint problems and this rises to 54% of the population at 85 years and older. Over all age groups, 10% of population manifest arthritic problems. At this time orthodox Western medicine offers no curative treatment for OA and uses a palliative approach with anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs (NSAIDs) , or with surgical joint replacement. This has lead to some concern about toxicity of pharmaceutical treatment, 7 and to a search for more conservative, less invasive, management. Orthodox western science is cognisant of the possibility that nutrition might be of some relevance in OA. Pinals writes: "Osteoarthritis is characterised by progressive erosion of articular cartilage… Cartilage integrity requires a balance between synthesis and degradation of matrix components." The "Holistic" approach to OA has included physiotherapy, diet, and, of much recent interest, the use of dietary supplements, primarily glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin . Indeed, there are now references to nutritional aspects of OA in the mainstream literature. (Of particular interest is recent paper showing benefit in inflammatory arthritis from the oral administration of cartilage-derived type II collagen ) Several supplement regimes presently claim to contribute substantially in the amelioration and/or cure of OA.
