[Remedies and quackeries].

Several unorthodox drugs for healing cancer recommended widely in the USA and Hungary are discussed. Credulity plays a decisive role in the application of the drugs of doubtful effect and/or "remedies" that are undoubtedly without any effect. Typical examples are Krebiozen, Laetrile, Celladam and water with decreased deuterium concentration. In connection with Avemar, the most recent Hungarian remedy with so far clinically unproven physiological effect it is surprising why an expensive seminatural material is sold when the agen, in fact, is a well-known and synthetically easily available compound.

[The miraculous growth of "quackery funds"].

In 1998 and 1999 three new charity foundations were established in the Netherlands, covering the same areas as the Dutch Heart Foundation, the Netherlands Cancer Foundation and the National Rheuma Foundation respectively. Analysis of the set-up of the three new foundations, of their philosophy, their constitutions and the background of the persons involved shows a remarkably uniform pattern, making it very likely that the set-up of these alternative foundations is a part of the marketing strategy of some Dutch wholesalers in orthomolecular drugs. More legal regulation of charity foundations is seriously needed.
