J A Index of American Cancer Society File Material on UNPROVEN METHODSofCANCER , MANAGEMENT ® AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY 1972 INTRODUCTION The American Cancer Society Committee on Unproven Methods of Cancer Management was established in 1955 for the purpose of reviewing the entire field of unproven cancer diagnostic or therapeutic methods. Since that time, the Committee has been instrumental in collecting, abstracting, and sunnnarizing a great deal of material dealing with new or unproven diagnostic or treatment methods, with a view to establishing and maintaining an information center which would be concerned with the collection and distribution of material in this field. As a first step in this direction, the attached Index of material in the American Cancer Society files has been prepared. The Committee has attempted to make the Index complete and compre­ hensive for the information and assistance it may render to the medical profession. Naturally, therefore, there is included in this Index the names of men and names of materials which have been recognized as proven or even outstanding in other fields, They are included in this Index because either the material has been suggested but not proven in the cancer field or the men whose work has been outstanding in other fields have made statements or written articles with reference to can­ cer which are in the unproven area. No conclusion should be drawn by •I the reader from the mere appearance of any name in this Index. Inquiry should be made of the American Cancer Society as to the material in its files before you reach any conclusions. The Index has been divided into three sections, as follows: Section I - Index of American Cancer Society File Material on Unproven Methods of Cancer Management. (p.1-105) Section II - Index of Organizations Identified with Unproven Methods of Cancer Management. (pp.107-122) Section III - Index.. of Periodicals which Carry Advertisements, Articles or other Information Concerning Unproven Methods of Cancer Management. (pp.123-138) NOTE Dates in parenthesis representJ the last year in which significant information was receivedJ by the Society. * Reprint from Ca - A ICancer Journal for Clinicians is available on this subject. ** American Cancer Society Circular Letter is Available on this Subject.

(Updated 31 July 1997...see end of file for graphic links; for an essay on suggested mechanisms of action of nitrilosides; Also, certain terms are defined in the text for clarity and are included in brackets.rsc) THE NITRILOSIDES IN PLANTS AND ANIMALS Nutritional and Therapeutic Implications Ernst T. Krebs, Jr. John Beard Memorial Foundation (Privately published: 1964) Since the principal objective of this presentation is a study of the clinical use of the Laetriles (nitrilosides) because these substances yield nascent HCN [hydrocyanic acid] when they undergo enzymatic hydrolysis in vivo, it will be helpful if one begins with a general study of the nitrilosides in plants and animals. A nitriloside is a naturally occurring or synthetic compound which upon hydrolysis by a beta- glucosidase yields a molecule of a non-sugar, or aglycone, a molecule of free hydrogen cyanide, and one or more molecules of a sugar or its acid. There are approximately 14 naturally occurring nitrilosides distributed in over 1200 species of plants. Nitrilosides are found in all plant phyla from Thallophyta to Spermatophyta. The nitrilosides specifically considered in this paper are 1-mandelonitrile-beta-diglucoside (amygdalin) and its hydrolytic products; 1-para-hydroxymandelonitrile-beta-glucoside (dhurrin); methylethyl-ketone-cyanohydrin-beta-glucoside (lotaustralin); and acetone-cyanohydrin-beta- glucoside (linamarin). All of these compounds are hydrolysed to free HCN, one or more sugars and a non-sugar or aglycone.

    Information-seeking behavior in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM): an online survey of faculty at a health sciences campus* By David J. Owen, M.L.S., Ph.D. [email protected] Education Coordinator, Basic Sciences Min-Lin E. Fang, M.L.I.S. [email protected] Information Services Librarian Kalmanovitz Library and Center for Knowledge Management University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, California 94143-0840 Background: The amount of reliable information available for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is limited, and few authoritative resources are available. Objective: The objective is to investigate the information-seeking behavior of health professionals seeking CAM information. Methods: Data were gathered using a Web-based questionnaire made available to health sciences faculty af®liated with the University of California, San Francisco. Results: The areas of greatest interest were herbal medicine (67%), relaxation exercises (53%), and acupuncture (52%). About half the respondents perceived their CAM searches as being only partially successful. Eighty-two percent rated MEDLINE as a useful resource, 46% personal contacts with colleagues, 46% the Web, 40% journals, and 20% textbooks. Books and databases most frequently cited as useful had information about herbs. The largest group of respondents was in internal medicine (26%), though 15% identi®ed their specialties as psychiatry, psychology, behavioral medicine, or addiction medicine. There was no correlation between specialty and patterns of information- seeking behavior. Sixty-six percent expressed an interest in learning more about CAM resources. Conclusions: Health professionals are frequently unable to locate the CAM information they need, and the majority have little knowledge of existing CAM resources, relying instead on MEDLINE.

Az ember társas lény, ezért természetes szükséglete a kommunikáció. Az emberi kommuni- káció fontosságát már évezredekkel ezelőtt felismerték, és gyökerei sokkal messzebbre nyúlnak vissza, mint amiről az írott történelem beszámol. Az emberi kommunikáció alapja az együttmű- ködés és a közös szándék, ahogy azt az antroposzemiotika is tanítja. Idáig azonban hosszú utat kellett bejárni. „Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”,1 tanítja a Biblia, de az igét meg kell hallgatni, és terjeszteni kell. Minél messzebbre kellett eljutnia, annál fontosabb volt, hogy valamilyen módon lejegyezzék. És az em- ber másik természetes szükséglete, hogy nyomot hagyjon a világban – valamilyen képpel, szám- mal vagy betűvel. Nézzük meg röviden ennek a történetét. Kulcsszavak: latin nyelvű oklevelek, egyetemi fokozatok fordítása, tudományos címek rövidítése, bírósági tolmácsolás, a terminológia alakulása Since man is a social being, one of his innate needs is the desire to communicate. Th e importance of human communication has been recognised for thousands of years, far longer than demonstrated through recorded history. Human communication is rooted in cooperative and shared intentions, as anthroposemiotics teaches us. But it was a long road to get us here. “Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”, the Bible has taught us, but it has to be heard and spread. Th e further it needed to go, the greater was the need to record it in some way. And the second man’s innate need was to make a mark in the world – with a picture of some kind, a certain sign, numeral or letter.

Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences 2013; Vol2, Issue 37, September 16; Page: 7077-7083. ABSTRACT: Coined by Dr. John Scheel, Henry Lindlahr crediting him as “father of Naturopathy”, Naturopathy system of Medicine is a system of healing science stimulating the body’s inherent power to regain health with the help of five great elements of nature. Naturopathy provides not only a simple practical approach to the management of disease, but a firm theoretical basic which is applicable to all holistic medical care and by giving attention to the foundations of health; also offers a more economical frame work for the medicine of future generation. Naturopathy is an approach to healing using “natural” means such as diet and lifestyle. For treatment, it primarily stresses on correcting all the factors involved and allowing the body to recover itself. In dentistry, various modalities are available therefore, supporting dental treatment. For the same purpose, this paper is intended to have an overview of other dental treatment modalities available via i.e. Naturotherapy. KEYWORDS: Nature therapy, hydrotherapy, therapeutics. INTRODUCTION: Naturopathy system of Medicine is a system of healing science stimulating the body’s inherent power to regain health with the help of five great elements of nature- Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Ether.

MR Suchitra, and S Parthasarathy*. 1Department Of Biochemistry, SASTRA University, Tamil Nadu, India. 2Mahatma Gandhi Medical College And Research Institute, Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth University, Puducherry – South India ABSTRACT Amygdalin/Vitamin B17/Laetrile is a cyanogenic diglucoside, an active ingredient of several fruit pits and rawnuts was thought to possess anti-cancer properties. Amygdalin is contained in a few stone fruit kernels, such as apricot bitter almond, peach and plum and in the seeds of the apple. Even though there are a few animal and human studies which demonstrate the benefits of amygdalin in cancer, these are not well established in randomized clinical trials. When considering the other diseases like hypertension, pain, and bronchial asthma the role of Laetrile needs to be explored by using this drug as a supplement to regular therapeutic strategies. But as such the intake of apricot kernels and apple seeds should not be discouraged for fear of amygdalin toxicity in view of their other nutritional benefits. Keywords: laetrile, amygdalin, vitamin B17, *Corresponding author January – February 2019 RJPBCS 10(1) Page No. 437 ISSN: 0975-8585 INTRODUCTION AND CHEMISTRY Vitamin B17/Amygdalin/Laetrile is one of the most controversial vitamins in the last three decades. Chemically, it is a cyanogenic di-glucoside, but with a condensed formula of C20-H27-NO-11, and a MW (molecular weight) of 457. It has a chemical name of DMandelonetrile-betaglucoside-6 beta-D-glucoside.
