The Author's Preface, Forward, Table of Contents and Chapter One

"Not a doctor, I advocate no specific therapy but rather a free market
where non-toxic therapies can compete freely and openly with the toxic therapies
currently accepted by the medical establishment, and the freedom for doctors and patients to use them.
This book is not intendd and should not be understood to offer any medical advice. Instead, it reports on things
which, sadly, actually happened, and, even more sadly, are still happening."
--Daniel Haley, Author | Politics In Healing

A former New York State Assemblyman who has spent a lifetime studying health and healing in America, Daniel Haley is a man uniquely able to tell the story of the damage, greed and political influence which has taken over our nation's healthcare alternatives. Dan has just completed and published a book written in clear and easy to follow language chronicling ten separate, well researched stories that will both shock and alarm you. Dan's working title has undergone various changes over the several years of the book's preparation, ranging from "Politics in Cancer" to "The Terrible Truth about Politics in Cancer" and finally settling on "Politics in Healing: The suppression and manipulation of American Medicine." Daniel's information-packed 465 page book is an absolute "must read" for anyone interested in American medicine, healing, alternative healing modalities and treatments, and the abuse and interference of the political process in those treatments.

"Daniel Haley has written a very important book about the medical profession,
detailing the struggles between good and evil as no one ever has before.
Incredible as these stories are, they are true!"
--Julian Whitaker, M.D.

"Money, Power, and the betrayal of the Hippocratic Oath ("First, Do No Harm") could be the
subtitle of this book, now that FDA-approved pharmaceutical drugs are one of the top
causes of death in the U.S. Laws need to be changed to put an end to this disaster.
This book is a powerful wake-up call for all Americans."
--Attorney, James Turner, Chair of Citizens for Health

Why does one American die of cancer every minute?

That's 1,440 a day, or the equivalent of three fully loaded 747's crashing and killing everybody aboard every day! That's 10,000 a week - 500,000 a year - every year - ten times the number who died in Vietnam. For them we have a wall, but where is the memorial to the cancer deaths? Have you lost a loved one to cancer? Who hasn't? We have a War on Cancer, but the more money we spend on cancer, the more people die of it. READ WHY we don't have effective Non-toxic cancer cures. Read about cancer cures which were and still are being relentlessly suppressed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the American Medical Association (AMA). The only harm they would do would be to drug company profits.Why does one American die every 3-5 minutes (100,000-150,000 a year) from the effects of FDA-approved, pharmaceutical drugs, used as directed? This is 3-5 times the number who die each year from illegal street drugs! For those, we have a drug czar, but it appears we have only indifference for the 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 Americans who died over the past decade from the effects of legal drugs -- a veritable drug-company-FDA-generated Holocaust? Where is the memorial, where is the march on Washington in protest over these? The more FDA employees, the more people die from the drugs FDA approves.

Daniel Haley's RX:

A free market in Non-Toxic therapies! This would provide competition for the drug companies and drive their prices down...way down, as only a free market can do. All the cancer cures described in Dan's book were non-toxic -- yet they were squelched by the AMA and the FDA. We don't need to be protected from things that can't hurt us!

Persecution of Innovative Therapies | review by Katherine Duff

Politics in Healing: The Suppression and Manipulation of American Medicine
by Daniel Haley

Controversies that surround nontoxic therapies usually come to our attention on an individual basis. Their stories become the details of practitioners whose lives have been ruined and patients who have lost their treatment of choice. But getting lost in those details, is the larger pattern that has been repeating itself over and over again since medicine in this country was organized. This is the intrusion of politics and, ultimately, suppression of nontoxic therapies by powerful interests.

Daniel Haley, an ex-legislator from the state of New York, questioned those controversies and as a politician, knew to look for the larger picture. Politics in Healing is his enlightening and well written book that examines the powers that are obstructing acceptance of alternatives to the toxic treatments supplied by the pharmaceutical companies.

The author writes about the experiences of ten different men, starting with John Hoxsey's discovery of a treatment for cancer in the 1800's and takes us to the present discoveries and work of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski. Also included are chapters about DMSO, 714-X, hydrazine sulfate, colostrums, electromedicine, Krebiozen, Rife technologies and glyoxylide. The author is not advocating or recommending therapies, but rather, telling the stories of the researchers ø sad and disturbing stories. These are men who made discoveries and developed treatments that gave positive results for people suffering terrible illnesses, only to be persecuted and harassed. In many instances, such as Dr. Koch's glyoxylide and Royal Rife's microscopes, their discoveries were lost forever.

Throughout these stories the pattern becomes evident. First of all, a discovery is made for a nontoxic treatment that shows good results in patients. Soon the treatment and its success gains the attention of the medical field and it is not long after that attempts are made to secure ownership of the treatment through a variety of business arrangements. When the researcher does not participate in the desired business arrangement, he and his treatment will be publicly denigrated by a member of the medical profession. Harassment of the researcher begins and escalates to incredible lengths. The methods of harassment detailed in the book are revealing as they provide a broad view of the power structure of the medical establishment, or Official Medicine as the author calls it.

For researches in the early 1900s, the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. Morris Fishbein, was often the first to declare public opposition to a new nontoxic therapy. His editorials denouncing a particular discovery and the researcher usually preceded involvement of the American Medical Association, local medical societies, state medical boards, state health departments and sometimes state legislatures. But even though Dr. Fishbein was eventually discredited in a libel suit brought against him by Harry Hoxsey, he was replaced by others who carried on his work as the Arbiter of American Medicine.

A powerful rein on the development of nontoxic treatments for cancer is the National Cancer Institute. As the author shows, they have conducted tests of nontoxic treatments in ways that would appear they were seeking a desired results ø that being failure of the product. Ignored by the NCI was the fact that they were dealing with the lives of real human beings, many of whom died when their trials were conducted in opposition to the researcher's instructions. One of these was Dr. Burzynski's antineoplaston which they diluted so as to be ineffective in their trial, resulting in the deaths of all participants. Even so, the NCI, thinking that the doctor had forgotten to patent one of the antineoplastons, obtained the patent on his product for themselves.

Far and away though, the heaviest hand of authority over researchers is the Food and Drug Administration. Founded in 1906 to make sure foods were pure and drugs were safe, it has expanded its mission to include protection of the pharmaceutical companies. A 1982 quote from the then Director of FDAs Bureau of Drugs summed it up when he said, "I never have and never will approve a new drug to an individual, but only to a large pharmaceutical company with unlimited finances. Former FDA Commissioner Herbert Ley complained of merciless pressure" from the pharmaceutical companies. An with about 65% of FDA employees going to work for pharmaceutical companies upon their retirement, it appears the FDA is listening. According to Haley's examples, their history includes a variety of methods for keeping unwelcome nontoxic treatments off the market. And for those that have made it to market, such as supplements, they have opened an entire new arena of control ø censorship of speech regarding the products.

It would be one thing if the power exercised by all the bureaucracies was a resounding success for the people who are paying for it through taxes and medical bills, but that is just not the case. One chapter is dedicated to giving us a picture of the current status of our health care system. The author notes that the fourth leading cause of death in the US is from reactions to FDA-approved drugs and the fourth leading cause of hospital admissions is from reactions to prescription drugs. And when the World Health Organization calculated healthy life expectancy", the US ranked twentieth. For this we pay more per capita for health care than any other country.

The solutions Haley recommends make sense and deserve consideration. He wants a freer marketplace through limiting the role of the FDA and freedom from unwarranted discipline for doctors willing to try other than the dangerous and toxic therapies. He also offers a discussion of the Access to Medical Treatment Act and other avenues for citizens to take action.

On the one hand, this book is a personal and touching account of some very courageous researchers. For the sin of finding nontoxic therapies that truly helped people, they suffered some of the worst harassment imaginable ø at the hands of some of our most educated and privileged citizens. The shame of it reeks from the pages. On the other hand Haley has been able to give us the big picture of our failing health system ø another shame for the wealthiest nation on the planet. Ultimately this is an economic/political story that may best be told by a politician, and for that, Daniel Haley has done us a great service.
