Instead, the IAT clinic evolved into a fairly typical offshore cancer clinic: long on claims, short on scientific documentation. Burton supervised the treatment of several thousand patients. These tend to be loyal and satisfied medical consumers, generally better educated and more affluent than the norm. There are many anecdotal reports of improvement in symptoms and even of dramatic regression of tumors. But all attempts to scientifically verify these compelling stories have floundered, including the congression-ally mandated investigations of the OTA.

In 1940, he established a cancer clinic in Little Rock, Arkansas, but was convicted of unethical practices and shut down. In 1944, he was released from prison and retired to live on a yacht, and died in obscurity in Arkansas in the late 1950s. Nat Morris, the most sympathetic of commentators on nonconventional cancer treatments, says about Baker, "He was possibly one of the most unsavory figures in the history of cancer quackery" (289).

In one study, 156 pairs of patients with documented extensive malignant disease and a predicted survival time of less than one year were treated either at a prominent complementary cancer clinic in San Diego, California, or treated by conventional medicine. The complementary treatment consisted of an immune-enhancing vaccine, vegetarian diets, and coffee enemas. Some of these patients also received conventional treatment, primarily chemotherapy. Both groups exhibited a mean survival period of 15 months (Cassileth et al., 1991).

Miller and a business group headed by an insurance broker named Lucius Everhard opened a cancer clinic in Chicago, not half a mile from AMA headquarters on North Dearborn Avenue! This too ended badly. "It took me just one month to discover that Everhard and his cohorts had only one interest in my cancer treatment," said Hoxsey. "To convert it into a get-rich-quick racket" (194). The business manager had set the fees at $500 to $1,000 per case—an enormous sum in those days—and charity patients were spurned.

There was a large "Cancer Clinic" sign on the door and thousands of patients began flocking to Bracebridge, some from the United States. "Whatever the townspeople's humanitarian motives may have been, as with Hoxsey's supporters, it was also a shrewd business decision. Everyone knew how a thriving clinic could help the economy of a Depression-era town. Years later, a few older people in Bracebridge recalled the days of Nurse Caisse and her clinic.

A stateside cancer clinic can resemble the scene in Moby Dick where the whalers and their families attend church services just before the sailing of the Pequod. "Each silent worshipper," Melville writes, "seemed purposely sitting apart from the other, as if each silent grief were insular and incommunicable." Cancer puts an enormous burden on those afflicted and on their family members and caregivers. In one survey, 90 percent of the caregivers reported "psychoemotional burdens" (Mor et al., 1987).

After hearing nothing from his Sloan-Kettering collaborators, Gold came to New York and paid a surprise visit to the cancer clinic, accompanied by Raymond Brown, then an aide to SKI vice president Lloyd Old. Four of the seven patients' records they examined showed strong subjective responses to the new therapy, Gold claimed; the patients were eating more and feeling more alert and stronger. This was documented in the progress reports and the nurses' notes (ibid.).

TWO DANISH WOMEN'S MIRACLES "The Cancers Just Disappeared" In 1992 Danish researcher Knut Lockwood at his Copenhagen cancer clinic began testing coQ-10 and other antioxidants on thirty-two breast cancer patients, ages thirty-two to eighty-one. His study is ongoing, and he expects to report long-term results in 1998. In the interim, Dr. Lockwood and colleagues, including Dr. Karl Folkers at the University of Texas, have published several astonishing cases of remission in women with metastasized breast cancer who have used the supplements along with conventional therapies.

In late 1991, arginine figured prominently in the Texas trial of Jimmy Keller, a cancer clinic operator who claimed to have healed himself of melanoma. He was seized by US agents in Mexico, tried and sentenced to two years in federal prison for "wire fraud." One of the charges against him was that he used an unapproved arginine preparation called Tumorex. Although arginine is basically non-toxic, it should be avoided by pregnant or lactating women, according to Dr. James and Phyllis Balch in their popular work, Prescription for Natural Healing (Garden City Park: Avery, 1991). 1.

By 1956, the Dallas facility was the largest private cancer clinic in the country. According to a story in Life Phytolacca atnericana (poke root) magazine, Hoxsey treated some 8,000 patients and grossed $1.5 million. Hoxsey remained his old militant self. "There's only one way they'll ever close the Hoxsey Clinic," he told an appreciative audience, "and that's to put a militia around it." Hoxsey had some powerful political allies, mostly on the far right. One of these was Gerald B. Winrod, a fundamentalist evangelist from Kansas.
