The theme we've planned for our next - Summer 1984 - issue is "Women and Psychiatry." We believe that some things have changed since our last (1981) 'women's issue' and we want to interview people in relevant com• munity positions to see what they think has changed - or hasn't changed - and what they've been learning. We plan to publish a feature article about the long-term sexual abuse of two women in Quebec - and their sub• sequent inability to secure compensation or even professional acknowledgement of this gross malpractice. We hope, too, to offer poems, prose - diary excerpts from women expressing their feelings and experience with psy• chiatry. We have further ideas for future issues or articles: An issue on "suicide": one of the most focal and sensitive areas of concern in "mental health" from anyone's point of view. An issue on "Lesbians and Gays in Psychiatry": a region where traditional 'therapeutic' methods and perceived human needs seem in particularly acute conflict now. An issue, or articles, on psychiatry and the prison system - and some of psychiatry's more blatant forms of social control. In addition, starting in this issue we will regularly feature a section devoted to 'creative' material: poems, prose, diaries, drawing, photographs, cartoons, lyrics - anything that can be printed from anyone who's experienced some sort of psychiatry. Please send us, then, whatever you may have for this new section - it's your section. Send us, also, your ideas (or criticism of ours) for the topics we've suggested, as well as any other suggestions, articles or material you'd care to share. It's your magazine. Finally, please send us, if and when you can (you recognize our theme song?): donations. We will certainly be very grateful for anything we receive, for while we are still seriously fundraising - meanwhile there is much to be done. Many ideas to be pursued, many vital concerns to be raised - from many inmate voices as well as for them.

  • On ALTERNATIVE Or NON-TRADITIONAL CANCER THERAPIES and TREATMENTS by EMANUEL REVICI, M.D
    CONGRESSIONAL PUBLICHEARING BEFORE: CONGRESSMAN GUY V. MOLINARI on ALTERNATIVE or NON-TRADITIONAL CANCER THERAPIES and TREATMENTS BY EMANUEL REVICI, M.D. PRESENT: MICHAEL TORRUSIO DIANE CISMOWSKI, Court Reporter 26 Federal Plaza New York, New York March 18, 1988 9:55 o'clock a.m. MOLINARI 1 CONGRESSMAN GUY MOLINARI: This is Guy Molinari, representing the 14th Congressional District. We would like to get started here this morning. I have prepared a formal opening statement, which has probably been distributed, but I choose not to read that. Instead, let me set the record here by relating some of my prior experiences in a similar matter a couple of years back. It was a great learning experience for me, a very disturbing experience as well. Similar to what happened preliminary to this formal hearing today, several years ago our governmental agencies were instrumental in bringing pressure upon the Pan American Health Organization. In turn, it brought pressure upon the Bahamian Government, and the Bur­ ton clinic in Freeport, Bahamas, was closed. Some forty or fifty patients of Burton visited Washington and appealed to those of us that took time out of our day to listen to them to try to help. Now, I'm certainly not an expert in this field, but I do have a heart. I saw a look of panic in the faces of the people, and I made one promise to them that day, and that was to get down to Freeport and to see for myself what was going on. Through our State Department I made arrangements to go to the Island, and on the first day, with the help of the Embassy, to visit the Burton clinic.

  • Dr. Emanuel Revici Was the First Physician to Save Terminal Cancer Patients Using Naturally Derived Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Sele
    Dr. Emanuel Revici was the first physician to save terminal cancer patients using naturally derived omega-3 fatty acids and selenium (NaturalNews) You will most likely never hear an oncologist in America speak of omega-3 fatty acids or selenium as a cure for cancer, and you will never hear any "cancer specialist" who believes in modern chemotherapy and radiation mention the name Dr. Emanuel Revici. Why not? TheAmerican Medical Association (AMA) keeps records on doctors who mention any kind of alternative therapy or nutrition to patients who have been diagnosed with cancer, and can suspend or revoke a doctor's license who does speak of either. This is well documented and has been for over 80 years. (http://www.naturalnews.com) Dr. Emanuel Revici, the Scientific Director of the Institute of Applied Biology, N.Y., from 1946 to 1990, was no "quack." Conversely, many of Revici's findings predate ideas that are now widely accepted. Emanuel Revici, M.D, who died at the age of 101 in 1998, received his doctorate in medicine and surgery from the University of Bucharest (Romania) in 1920. He concentrated on biochemical research, specializing in the relationship between lipids and normal and abnormal cellular metabolism. Many of his studies took place at academic and hospital laboratories. Five papers deposited in the National Academy of Sciences summarize his observations about the influence of lipids in pathological pain and cancer. Revici's clandestine service with the French Resistance during World War II afforded him refuge from Hitler's reign. Eventually, he settled in Mexico City in 1941, where he established and directed a FREE clinic for cancer patients.

  • Unconventional Cancer Treatments
    Unconventional Cancer Treatments September 1990 OTA-H-405 NTIS order #PB91-104893 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Unconventional Cancer Treatments, OTA-H-405 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, September 1990). For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing OffIce, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (order form can be found in the back of this report) Foreword A diagnosis of cancer can transform abruptly the lives of patients and those around them, as individuals attempt to cope with the changed circumstances of their lives and the strong emotions evoked by the disease. While mainstream medicine can improve the prospects for long-term survival for about half of the approximately one million Americans diagnosed with cancer each year, the rest will die of their disease within a few years. There remains a degree of uncertainty and desperation associated with “facing the odds” in cancer treatment. To thousands of patients, mainstream medicine’s role in cancer treatment is not sufficient. Instead, they seek to supplement or supplant conventional cancer treatments with a variety of treatments that exist outside, at varying distances from, the bounds of mainstream medical research and practice. The range is broad—from supportive psychological approaches used as adjuncts to standard treatments, to a variety of practices that reject the norms of mainstream medical practice. To many patients, the attractiveness of such unconventional cancer treatments may stem in part from the acknowledged inadequacies of current medically-accepted treatments, and from the too frequent inattention of mainstream medical research and practice to the wider dimensions of a cancer patient’s concerns.
