Chilling Conspiracy Theory,
By A Customer
This review is from: Clauberg Conspiracies: Nazi Medicine and the Pill (Paperback)
Artie Scrugs has produced a chilling theory of the development of the birth control pill within the horrors of the medical research facility at Auschwitz. Although the book could have been longer, "The Clauberg Conspiracies" is a fast read that keeps the reader enthralled with the complexity of plot and twists in character development. Fortunately, the author has wisely added a cast of characters list as an appendix to keep the reader straight on the more than fifty characters. It is this massive cast that makes the theory all he more real. It would be hard to believe that such an enormous feat of synthesizing the drugs and to carry out the research to produce the alleged results in the time frame set out in the book would be impossible for a smaller cast. Mr. Scrugs has evidently done his research. He openly tells the tale of how he stumbled upon the story and names the primary sources of his material. He alleges that "The Clauberg Conspiracies" is "more than ninety percent ... documented fact." Anyone doubting the veracity of his claim can go back to the widely available sources and check for themselves. I did that myself and a chill ran down my back as the material revealed the obvious criminal conspiracy when the facts are looked at from the same perspective as Scrugs. The ending could have done with a little polishing, but the story haunted me as it apparently did Scrugs. It was some days after I finished the book did it occur to me of the greater, yet unsaid, implications of the enormity of the conspiracy. For mystery fans, this book will entertain (although it is a very dark subject not lending to humor) and, for all readers of history or conspiracy theories, will make one think deeply. Definately a must read.

What price research?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Clauberg Conspiracies: Nazi Medicine and the Pill (Paperback)
A strange but ultimately informative book on the development of synthetic sex steroids hormones, alongside research into cervical cancer and terrible experimentation on human beings, in National Socialist (Nazi) concentration camps. The concentration camps took the competitive commercial considerations of privately owned companies and stockholders with aid from the state to chilling extremes. I do not agree with some of the book's conclusions and its blending of fact and fiction can be off-putting for those trying to discover facts. All the more disconcerting to find at the end of the book that only minor details are fiction and most of the important stuff is true and can be verified. It is interesting to me that the research into cervical cancer and the horrific experiments to test the effect of cold conditions on humans to develop clothing and resuscitation techniques for German pilots ran side by side with research with steroid sex hormones. The following is my line of thought. Regarding cervical cancer, even penicillin was developed as a miracle cure for VD in wartime and links between cervical cancer and synthetic sex steroid hormones have been published at least since the 1980s. Research into cervical cancer and synthetic sex steroids went side by side in the camps. Regarding the effects of extreme cold, synthetic sex steroids can have many effects on the vasular system, including causing blue blood and extreme cold in the hands and feet. Worth reading this book with Dr Ellen Grant's "The Bitter Pill. How Safe is the Perfect Contraceptive?" and "Sexual Chemistry. Understanding our Hormones, the Pill and HRT", along with Barbara Seaman's "The Doctor's Case Against The Pill". Dr Victor Wynn is quoted in the Seaman book as saying "I see impairment in women on the pill ... The machinery of metabolism is beautifully complex and harmonious. It is easy enough to dominate it by introducing substances like the synthetic hormones in the Pill, but we have no idea of what risks we run by assuming control of such a delicate process. After all, there is no cell in the body that is not affected by oral contraceptives -- nerve cells, skin cells, liver cells, blood cells. Yet the same doctor was one of the letter writers to the British Medical Journal saying, after girls and women were warned by the UK's Committee on Safety of Medicine about possible adverse effects of the third generation Pill, "Unfortunately, the precipitate action of the Committee on Safety of Medicines may have seriously damaged our chances of learning just what effect the new pills have on arterial disease. More importantly still, it may also have irrevocably undermined any further research and development on oral contraceptives by the pharmaceutical industry." When set against The Clauberg Conspiracies, what does this spell out about research and the passing of drugs as fit for prescription? What price research?
