In the summer of 1971, documentary film maker, author and researcher G. Edward (Ed) Griffin was approached by a doctor friend who was successfully treating cancer patients with a natural and readily available substance called Laetrile, or Amygdalin. His friend had successfully treated his dying dog, after which he began offering it to patients, achieving 100 times the success rate of conventional treatments.
In his testimony as part of the ITNJ’s Commission of Inquiry into the Weaponisation of the Biosphere, Griffin described the obstacles he faced in bringing knowledge of this incredible substance, also known as Vitamin B17, to the world, and his discovery of two distinct aspects to the story of cancer: the science and the politics.
Griffin’s testimony reinforced what this Commission has heard repeatedly from witnesses: that the world of institutionalised medicine will stop at nothing to prevent natural remedies and treatments from becoming widely known or accessible. In the case of Amygdalin, as is the norm, no interest was shown in the rate of success, but merely whether or not use of the medicine met with the established rules: rules that Griffin suggests are both deliberately prohibitive and dubious, whereby any treatment must go through a near impossible multi-million dollar process proving safety and efficacy, ensuring the market remains in the hands of those who control and profit from it.
Speaking about the orthodox view, cancer is treated as a lump that must be burned, poisoned or dug out; corresponding to the treatments of radiation, chemotherapy and surgery. In contrast cancer is viewed in natural medicine as symptomatic of an underlying imbalance, which requires investigating and harmonising the conditions of the patient’s environment, diet and mental state. Seen in this way, cancer is not something to fear but something to change he tells us, claiming that if this science were not being suppressed there would no longer be cancer that needed curing. To this day however the wonders of Amygdalin continue to be supressed and we are warned to avoid the foods it contains which are essential to our survival.
