MCDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON SUNDAY. AUGUST II. I9S3 B By RICHARD JEWETT Mail Tribune Staff Writer "My wife, a cancer victim, has been living due to Kre- Y2 years aiier five doctors despaired her chances to live. Now the gov ernment has stopped ship ment. Are we stopping all re search and help for those giv en up to die? Prisoners can why can't free people?" In the foregoing appeal, by telegram, sent July 29 to the President of the United States, the attorney-general and to Oregon's senators and repre sentatives in Congress, John L. Patrick, Shady Cove area rancher, tells the plight of his wife, Wilma. The Patricks maintain that Krebiozen, a controversial drug not yet available on the market, has kept her cancer at bay.

The other, the one who op erated, said she had one chance in four to live. From another source, the Patricks learned of Krebio zen. Mrs. Patrick has been taking the drug as a precau tionary measure. Patricks Are Concerned About the middle of July this year, the Patricks be came concerned when an an ticipated shipment of the drug did not arrive. Mr. Pat rick inquired of the Krebio zen Research Foundation, Chicago, 111., and learned that the federal Pure Food and Drug Administration had halted all interstate ship ments of the drug as of July 12. The Patricks' family doc tor reported that articles in medical journals stated that the Pure Food and Drug Ad ministration had come to the conclusion that it had not been substantiated that the drug has any real value in the treatment of cancer and that further experimental treatment of cancer with it should be cut off. Mr. and Mrs. Patrick have expressed the opinion that political and commercial aspects also have been involved. Time Magazine issue of July 26 probably points more specifically to the shipment stoppage reason. In its medi cine section Time said: Tough Provision "On June 7, a tough pro vision of last fall's Drug Amendments Act became ef fective. To continue interstate dealings in Krebiozen, Dr. (Steven) Durovic (drug devel oper) had to file with FDA a detailed plan for his investi gation. He did so reluctantly at the last minute. Then last week just as the FDA was concluding that his plan was 'grossly inadequate,' Durovic abruptly withdrew his pro posal, angrily charging bad faith on the part of the gov ernment. The Department of Health, Education and Wel fare responded: 'Your action automatically makes illegal the continued interstate de livery of the product.' " The Patricks' doctor said that an advance warning let ter had been received but that, when the last order was placed, there was no answer no explanation was sent. Patrick on July 29 made another effort, by telephon ing the foundation, to secure an order of the drug. He of fered to send his wife to Illi nois to get it, if she could obtain a year's supply. He was turned down and was told that now there was a city in vestigation. Since it has not been put on the market, "K" is still in the category of a research drug, although it has been used on cancer patients since 1949. Altitude of Profession The attitude of the medi cal profession at large, re portedly, has been that Kre biozen is of no value. "You have to beg doctors," Patrick said. "Doctors are afraid of being called quacks if they prescribe the drug," he de clared. Mr. and Mrs. Patrick be lieve, however, that she and many others will die because of being denied the drug. They cite numerous cases in which the drug has done good, arresting cancers or making them disappear. Their source and authority is the book, "K, or Krebiozen Key to Cancer," by Herbert Bailey (Hermitage House, 1955). And the Patricks make this point: "Why stop something that is doing good?" "It's definitely doing no harm so why stop it," remark ed Mrs. Patrick, who gives the appearance of bearing her illness calmly. When something is bad that's different, the Patricks said. When something is shown to be only good, why prevent people from having it? Why stop it? Proper to Protect "It is perfectly proper," Patrick said, "to protect per sons who have some hope from other remedies.

"To stop the drug with peo ple given up to die is to the point of the ridiculous," Pat rick added. The Shady Cove couple cited the benefit from "K" in Mrs. Patrick's own case. Her surgery seven years ago was radical. The lymph glands under her left arm and her left breast were re moved. Three years ago, aft er she had stopped taking Krebiozen injections for a time, lumps showed up in her right breast. She resumed taking "K" and the lumps re ceded in size. The Patricks' described as substantial citizens" by their doctor, moved to the Rogue valley five years ago from Sun Valley in the Los Angeles area. Patrick had operated an "automotive corner" in Hol lywood a service station and auto parts business. Now the family has prop erty on the west fork of Trail Creek. It Is residing on a leas ed ranch, however, and the Patricks, with the aid of their three sons, have entered the cattle business. Along with ranching, Patrick is employed by a truck service station here as a bookeeper, mechanic and attendant. ' Saw Mrs. Patrick The doctor said he first saw Mrs. Patrick in 1958. He reported that he agreed to the Krebiozen injections because Mrs. Patrick had been using the drug and It seemed to be doing her some good. The physician said that he has not condoned "K" as effec tive nor condemned it as in effective in the treatment of cancer. He stated that Mrs. Patrick is the only person he has seen use it with any ap parent results. I don't want to say that the drug has benefitted her and don't want to say that it hasn't," the doctor further commented. He reported that she claimed to feel better and the "masses" did seem to im prove under medication. He pointed out that he has made no real study to evaluate Krebiozen. The doctor said he does not know for sure whether the masses in his patient's right breast are cancer since there is no proof by patho logical examination that the multiple lumps are malig nant. Mrs. Patrick declined a biopsy. The lumps, as large as "average" eggs, according to the physician, did regress to walnut or almond size. Mrs. Patrick's last "K" in jection was July 18. The phy sician remarked that there has not been sufficient time to determine whether the ef fect of the halt in Injections has been detrimental. He has not examined her since that date. Treatments have varied from one to three per week. Developed By Durovic Krebiozen, developed by Dr. Steven Durovic, a Yugo slavian native, has been dis tributed by the Krebiozen Re search Foundation for investi gational use. The purpose of the distribu tion and investigation of the agent is to determine wheth er it has any specific activity against malignant conditions. The foundation, according to the Instruction sheet from the organization, has formed an opinion on the basis of pre liminary studies that the agent may decrease or abol ish pain, improve the general condition of the patient and provoke a regression or re mission of the malignant tu- mr In some patients. Krebiozen, a name com pounded from Greek terms, means "that which regulates growth." In the center of the contro versy over the drug has been Dr. Andrew C. Ivy, vice pres ident of the University of Illinois and head of its Chi cago colleges of the health professions, which includes the medical school. He has been chief sponsor of the Kre biozen research. According to Herbert Bailey, in his book, Dr. Ivy feels that "K" should be investigated from every as pect known to science. Co To Illinois Tim Magazine in the July article reported: "Dr. Ivy defiantly announc ed that he would continue to give the Injections 'whether I go to jail or not.' Durovic will supply Krebiozen only to Ivy. Thus patients who want to keep on getting injec tions will have to go to Illi nois for them." That appears out of the question for the Patricks with their limited means. Time concluded: "But Krebiozen's backers have powerful friends on Cap itol Hill; last week resolu tions were introduced in both houses of Congress to require the government to give the controversial drug another chance."
