Creatinine↗

[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.

[Unproven methods in oncology].

As in some other chronic diseases (rheumatism, multiple sclerosis, etc.), unproven methods of diagnosis and treatment have long been current in cancer. Since 1960 the American Cancer Society has published an abundant literature on these "unproven methods", which serves as a basis for a historical review: some substances (Krebiozen, Laetrile) have enjoyed tremendous if shortlived success. The present trend is back to nature and "mild medicine". The proponents of this so-called natural medicine are often disciples of a pseudoscientific religion using irrational arguments. Direct attacks on these erroneous theories and their public refutation fail to convince the adepts, who trust in these methods and are not amenable to a scientific approach. Study of their psychological motivations reveals that in fact they seek something more reassuring than plain medical explanation which is aware of its limits. They feel reassured by theories which often bear some resemblance to the old popular medicine. To protect patients against these dangerous methods and all the disillusionment they entail, the Swiss Society of Oncology and the Swiss Cancer League have decided to gather information and draw up a descriptive list of the commonest unproven methods in Switzerland (our File No. 2, "Total anti-cancer cure", is given as an example). The files are published in French, German and English and are available to physicians, nursing teams, and also patients who wish to have more objective information on these methods.
