Dr. Harold W. Manner: The Man Who Cures Cancer
(Page 7 of 12)
November/December 1978
By Bruce Woods
DR. MANNER: First you have to realize that a tumor doesn't belong in the body. I'm convinced that the normal state of any living thing is health, and that if a body is well equipped it can bring itself back to health when illness occurs.

Look, for example, at the transplant surgery being done.
Over and over we see the body reject transplanted organs. That "new" heart or kidney doesn't belong there, and the body knows it . . . so rejection takes place. I'm convinced that a tumor doesn't belong in the body, either, and that the system should reject such an unnatural growth too.
PLOWBOY: Then why doesn't it?
DR. MANNER: As the tumor grows it develops a layer of protein-kind of like a plastic bubble-around itself. And that protective layer "hides" the growth so the body can't recognize it as a foreign invader. Now, our enzymes attack and eat away the protein shield which protects the tumor . . . and when this is done the body can see the cancer for what it is. The immune system should take over at that point, but-since this reaction is very weak in cancerous animals and humans we use vitamin A to stimulate the protective system. This has all been fully documented.
Furthermore-in addition to the natural forces within the body which our treatment unleashes, against the cancer-the laetrile that we administer can also get at the "naked" tumor. It releases its deadly cyanide and the cyanide goes to work on the malignant cells.
PLOWBOY: That's the theory, then . . . but what kind of results did you get from your revised experiments?
DR. MANNER: They were absolutely fantastic. At the end of the first four to six weeks we began to see changes. After the second enzyme injection a small pimple appeared at the site of the tumor . . . it looked like a whitehead or boil. Then, following the next dose, the pimple would burst open and discharge a white pus. We ran an analysis of the discharge-through the pathology department of the American International Hospital-and the pus was identified as dead cancer cells. Furthermore, as we continued the treatments the tumors got smaller and smaller. At the end of four to six weeks the growths were completely gone from 90% of the animals. We had these specimens autopsied at American International and they were all given an absolutely clean bill of health. Not a cancer cell anywhere.
PLOWBOY: And what about the other animals you treated?
DR. MANNER: At the close of the experiment the other 10% of the mice were all in stages of partial tumor regression:... they were all better off than when we started.
PLOWBOY: Those are impressive figures! Have you attempted to take your findings to the public?
DR. MANNER: I presented the general story-with slides and pictures-to over 2,000 people at this year's annual meeting of the National Health Federation here in Chicago. The next day the AMA and the FDA-instead of saying, "Well, he might have something there"-came out with a blast that was published and broadcast nationwide. The attack had nothing to do with our experiments or with the results that we'd achieved. It simply condemned me for presenting my material in the wrong place.
