Cancer Inc. (Cont.)

dard of care in the U.S. today.  The salient point here is simple but shocking: the mainstream use of chemotherapy for cancer came directly out of Nazi war science and poison gas weapon research in the interests of further enriching German and American businessmen.  The rest followed the predictable actions of purely profit centered business development.

Got Milk? (Cont.)

(Continued from page 4)

turned a bad thing into a terrible thing.  In 1994 the FDA approved the use of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST), a genetically engineered hormone from Monsanto that increases milk production in cows by 10 to 25%.  Milk from cows treated with rBST contains elevated levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), one of the most powerful growth factors ever identified.  While IGF-1 doesn't cause cancer, it does stimulate its growth.  Recent studies have found a seven-fold increase in the risk of breast cancer in women with the highest IGF-1 levels, and a four-fold increase in prostate cancer in men with the highest levels.  rBST also increases infections of the cows' udders.  Therefore, cows treated with rBST are given more antibiotics, so higher traces of these drugs, as well as pus and bacteria from infected udders, are found in their milk.  This problem is so bad, all of Europe and Canada have banned this hormone and we are the only major industrial country espousing and using it.  Monsanto is applying pressure to the media to stay away from this issue with threats of pulling ads on any station that airs the truth about this hazardous practice.            Dr. Drumright
