Amazon.com Review
One of the great tragedies of modern medical science is its refusal to recognize the cancer microbe - the hidden killer in cancer, AIDS, and other immune diseases - and the germ that exists in all of us. Dr. Cantwell, an outstanding researcher in cancer microbiology, has spent a lifetime studying and documenting this hidden killer in breast cancer, lymphoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, AIDS, lung disease, scleroderma, lupus, and other diseases. His published research is found in every medical library in the world. Now he has written an easy-to-read book that will appeal to anyone interested in learning the secret cause of cancer. You will learn about the suppressed research of physicians like Wilhelm Reich, Antoine Bechamp, Virginia Livingston, and other scientists whose brilliant cancer discoveries and treatments were censored, suppressed, or ignored by the medical establishment. If you have ever wondered what causes cancer, and why doctors can't cure it, this is the informative book you must read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Interesting Reading, March 12, 2002

By	Stephen Byrnes (Honolulu, HI United States) - See all my reviews

Do bacteria cause cancer? The idea, rejected by mainstream cancer researchers, has nevertheless been held and argued for by many prominent scientists, doctors, and researchers. This book is a very readable and well-referenced historical presentation of this alternate view, as well as a partly autobibliographical sketch of the author and his personal search for the ultimate causes of scleroderma and cancer.

The weakness of the book, in my opinion, is its lack of what to DO about controlling or curing the pleomorphic cancer microbe. Cantwell does mention the importance of maintaining health to prevent the microbe from becoming pathogenic, but he does not offer any tips as to what to do if one already has cancer.

I'd still recommend it, though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Conspiracy Cancer Adventurist, December 1, 2006

By	Frank Verdi "Swami" (Tempe, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

The premise that cancers are caused by live microbes rather than carcinogens is mainstream in today's non-mainstream medical texts, although Cantwell's work was one of the first - I would have preferred that his first 100 pages dealt less with his preference, partners, & past.

The 2nd 100 pages is much better discussing Dr. Beaucamp, an antagonist of Pasteur, who correctly identified the cancer culprit, which bore many similarities to TB bacilli, which was a major disease of the early 20th century - Cantwell traces how today's (Pasteur's) germ theory evolved discrediting the genius Beaucamp in passing.

Wilhelm Reich is introduced along with his breakthrough understanding of the subtleties of the mysterious cancer microbe without ever defining what his discovery was and where its greatness lay - Cantwell, a dermatologist, never quite identifies his cancer microbe as anything more than that ever-reoccuring, shape changing, microzymalike cancer microbe.

The last hundred pages takes place in present time (the AIDS eighties) and draws analogies between the diverse stages of the cancer microbe and the now prevalent Aids virus (major 21st century disease) - Cantwell does everything but spell out how a Polish WWII refugee doctor in Manhattan infected thousands of white, gay males during an Hepatitus B research project sponsored and funded by the federal government (and linkage to a designer biological weapon).

The book is different, but very interesting & recommended reading if you are seeking historic information (deeply slanted) of AMA medical schools and their disaccreditation of cancer microbists for these past 125 or so years - If your desire is to learn more about cancer disease specifics and how to rid oneself of it, it's not what this book does...
