200 boys inside jeered, shouted
anti-government and anti-American

The students ranged in age

This was the first time in

have protested U. S. aid to

Government Tests
'Miracle
Key Ingredient
Called Creatine;
Ineffective Agent
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
government announced Satur
day that the key ingredient in
the controversial drug Krebio
zen, hailed by its promoters as
a lifesaver for hopeless cancer
victims, is really a cheap, com
mon laboratory chemical called
Creatine which has proved in
effective against cancers in ani
mals.
A ranking federal scientist
said he found it "impossible to
conceive" how Creatine could
have any value in treating can
cer in humans.
The Food and Drug Adminis
tration (FDA) held out the pros-
pect of legal action in the Kre-
biozen case, particularly to de
termine whether the claims for
the serum are actually true and
whether its distribution con
forms with federal law.
Krebiozen's chief sponsor, Dr.
Andrew C. Ivy of Chicago, called
the government's ruling an ap
parent "smear." He denied that
Krebiozen, which he has called
simply an "anti-cancer sub
stance" extracted from the
blood of horses, is Creatine.
The American Medical asso
ciation (AMA) condemned Kre
biozen 12 years ago as worthless
in treating human cancer.
After the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare
(HEW) reported the results of
two years of elaborate tests to
identify Krebiozen, Dr. T. Philip
Waalkcs. associate director of
the National Cancer Institute,
1 cast rfnu,t on ls effectiveness.
Even in very high doses,
l Waalkes said. Creatine has been
nrove(i ineffective in treating
animal cancers. He said he
could not recall any tests of Cre
atine for treatment nf human
cancer.
But, he added, it is "impos
sible to conceive how the mi
nute doses of Creatine (in the
Krebiozen sample tested) could
be of any value in treating can
cer in view of the large amounts
of Creatine already in the body."
