Deloi Smith) sociation had
n't "prejudiced" the medical
world with the 100-case report
back in 1951.
He means that when injected
by needle into muscles of cancer
patients it will sometimes help
the patients and harm their can
cer. The first i a "subjective"
response the patients feel bet
ter, their appetites improve,
their pain diminishes or disap
pears, they become active. The
latter is an "objective" response
tha malignant tumors become
measurably smaller.
Ivy grants that six of the
even doctors who provided the
100-case reports were sincere
and honorable. But he points out
that at the time little was known
about how much a workable
dose of Krebiozen or how often
the doses should be injected.
Many of the 100 patients were
dying and died before they
could be given enough Krebio
ren for an effect to show.
Publicist "Miracle Cases"
If you Intend forming an opin
ion, you must keep firmly in
nine' that individual "miracles"
is cancer mean nothing. Kre
biowM's lay enthusiasts have
tjuleliciaee! "miracle cases" in pa
tents who bad any of the proven
treatments aRd in patients who
had no treatment at all.
It is well known that far-advanced
patients respond "sub
jectively" to any treatment, no
matter what, while their cancers
advance inexorably and kill
them.
Ivy accepts this. All cancer ex
perts do. His contention is that
"objective" improvements have
occurred too frequently for them
to have been due to factors other
than Krebiozen. As for "subjec
tive" improvements he has one
series ot patients who did not
know they were getting a new
treatment, and another series of
patients who did know. Subjec
tive improvement occurred in
one series as often as in the
other.
All but seven Krebiozen-treat-ed
patients have been on the
"abandoned" that is all proven
treatments had failed and they
were being kept "comfortable"
until they died. Therefore, Ivy
points out, it is not surprising
that Krebiozen has produced
"objective" response in a rela
tively small percentages. The big
point Is, he Maintains, "biolog
ical activity" is shown and
science must investigate that ac
tivity, and understand it in order
to exploit it.
Krebiozen research is carried
on by the Krebiozen Foundation,
105 West Adams St., in Chicago.
Any physician may obtain Kre
biozen provided his patient has
exhausted all of the proven
treatments the physician re
ports the patient's physical
conditio ia detail, and the phy
sician reports in detail on the
results ot Krebiozen treatment,
If the patient is able to pay.
he is asked ta pay S9.50 for
each ampule. If he isn't, he is
asked to pay what he can or
nothing.
So far, more than 200 phy
sicians have obtained Krebiozen
for more than 750 patients and
their detailed reports are on file
in the foundation office. Ivy
and his associates, Drs. John F.
Pick and W. P. F. Phillips, have
personally treated or observed
more than 100 patients. From

class university, and a physician : which he hasn't used so far and
so has proved nothing and it
was not up to them to disprove
hi$ contentions.
But at this "reporter's solicita
tion, Mefford R. Runyon, execu
tive vice-president of the Ameri
can Cancer Society, offered this
proposal, with a view toward
ending the controversy one way
or the other.
If the Krebiozen Foundation
will ask the society for "an in
dependent review" of the case
histories it has on file, "the
American Cancer Society will
take the initiative of setting up
a competent committee to make
such a study."
This, Runyon said, would be
"a necessary prelude" to a "fair
evaluation" of Krebiozen by a
committee of independent scien
tists, either the society's commit
tee or a committee of the Nation
al Cancer Institute. Runyon said
the foundation had never asked
the society or the institute to
support financially "an inde
pendent objective evaluation."

24,000 Accidents

traffic accidents occurred on
Oregon streets and highways
during the first five months of
this year, the traffic safety divi
sion reported today.
While the figure falls short
of the number of accidents re
ported for the same period a
year ago, safety officials said
it was "only tentative and may
have to be revised upward if
delayed reports are received.
Injuries during the period
totalled 6.042, also a slight de
