G. Edward Griffin marshals the evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease - like scurvy or pellagra - aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modern man's diet. That substance is vitamin B17. In its purified form developed for cancer therapy, it is known as Laetrile.

This story is not approved by orthodox medicine. The FDA, the AMA, and The American Cancer Society have labeled it fraud and quackery. Yet the evidence is clear that here, at last, is the final answer to the cancer riddle.

Why has orthodox medicine waged war against this non-drug approach? The author contends that the answer is to be found, not in science, but in politics - and is based upon the hidden economic and power agenda of those who dominate the medical establishment.

With billions of dollars spent each year on research, with other billions taken in on the sale of cancer-related drugs, and with fund-raising at an all-time high, there are now more people making a living from cancer than dying from it. If the solution should be found in a simple vitamin, this gigantic industry could be wiped out over night. The result is that the politics of cancer therapy is more complicated than the science.

To take control of your health, you must have a clear understanding of disease. Our approach is both revolutionary and simple. There is only One Disease.

Your body is made of cells, and when a large number of your cells malfunction, for any reason, that is the One Disease. There are only Two Causes of cellular malfunction:

Deficiency, cells are not getting what they need; or

Toxicity, cells are being poisoned by something they do not need.
Whether you suffer from allergies, cancer, chronic fatigue, diabetes, heart disease, or the common cold, the cause is the same - malfunctioning cells, the one disease.

Like any organism, the human body has specific daily needs that must be met. Without meeting these needs, the body will not function properly and optimal health cannot be maintained.

The problem is that the lifestyle of the average American does not provide for these needs; disease is the logical and inevitable result. It does not have to be this way. Health is a choice. Virtually all disease can be prevented and most can be reversed. We have to recognize that everything in our lives influences our health, for better or for worse.
