Alive and Well

Acknowledgments

Alive and Well

I am grateful to my six children for their support and generous help in so many ways: Mary Anne and Kathy for giving their time to take care of duties at home so that my wife Betty could be with me during my travels to interviews, hearings, and meetings; Nancy...

Preface

Alive and Well

First of all, please understand that all that follows is absolutely and completely the fault of Mr. G. Edward Griffin. Those of us who have fought for so long to preserve the God-given rights guaranteed us by our Constitution have, for the most part, fought a...

Introduction

Alive and Well

You are about to discover that the author of this book is no ordinary doctor. He is one of those rare birds that is able to leave the flock and fly alone. He has rejected the comforts and rewards of conformity and has chosen instead the hard path of integrity....

Chapter One: Case Dismissed

Alive and Well

It was early December, 1977. My office girl, Ruthie Coe, called me on my intercom to tell me that I had a phone call from a Mr. Robert Bradford in California. She wanted to know if I wanted to take the call now or to call him back. I had known Bob Bradford for...

Chapter Two: The Nutrition Connection

Alive and Well

So, how did a Family Physician from a small town in Ohio ever get involved in a conflict with the FDA in the first place? If you read the Preface, you already know the answer. It was the fault of Mr. G. Edward Griffin. In 1973 I was in the family practice of ...

Chapter Three: New Doc on the Block

Alive and Well

After having spent those eight months studying all of the material sent to me by The Committee for Freedom of Choice, I still was not completely convinced that this nutritional approach to the treatment of cancer would actually work. I called my pharmacist fr...

Chapter Four: Preparing for Battle

Alive and Well

To the best of my knowledge, there was no law in the State of Ohio which would prevent me from using Laetrile. I had checked with several attorney friends. I had asked them to see what the law was. They reported that there were no laws in the State of Ohio reg...

Chapter Five: The Battle Begins

Alive and Well

My first confrontation with the FDA came when Patrick Mahoney, a long time friend, who was then working for Birch Research Corporation, contacted me. Part of Patrick's job was to review all major newspapers and government documents and to file any information ...

Chapter Six: Laetrile and Cyanide

Alive and Well

In Chapter Five I mentioned the testimony of a doctor from the FDA who said that Laetrile contains "free" hydrogen cyanide and, thus, is toxic. Somewhere in this book I wanted to correct that misconception. Perhaps this is the best time to do so. There is no ...

Chapter Seven: Debunking the Debunkers

Alive and Well

Between the years 1975 and 1980 there were so many things happening that I am sure I do not remember all of them. Some of them were going on at the same time. These stories need to be told. While the exact chronological order of these stories may be incorrect,...

Chapter Eight: The Joey Hofbauer Story

Alive and Well

One Tuesday night about eight o'clock, in late November, 1978, I received a telephone call from Professor Francis Anderson, a professor at the Albany School of Law in Albany, New York. Professor Anderson told me that he was representing an eight-year-old boy, ...

Chapter Nine: The Media

Alive and Well

At the beginning of Chapter Seven, I stated that there were many things going on in the years between 1975 and 1980. Let me, at this point, try to give you some idea of what I meant. I was in private practice as a family physician. Although my primary obligat...

Chapter Ten: Re-Enter the State Medical Board

Alive and Well

After my 1976 confrontation with the Ohio State Medical Board, I heard nothing from them until September, 1978. I then received the following letter: Dear Dr. Binzel: We understand that you may be treating a patient with Laetrile who has Hodgkins Disease. Fu...

Chapter Eleven: The Total Nutritional Program

Alive and Well

In Chapter Two, I discussed the work done by Drs. Krebs, Burk, Nieper, Contreras, Navarro and Sakai. Their work showed that there are numerous nutritional deficiencies which may exist within the cancer patient. The most important thing they stressed was that, ...

Chapter Twelve: Boring Statistics and Exciting Cases

Alive and Well

Nothing that has been said so far in this book would be of any significance if them were not some statistics to show that the nutritional approach to the treatment of cancer offers the cancer patient a greater quality and quantity of life than does so-called "...

Chapter Thirteen: The Quality of Life

Alive and Well

In the previous chapter I talked mostly about the quantity of life (the length of life) that I was able to obtain in the cancer patient through nutritional therapy. Now I want to talk about quality of life. The next few patients that I am going to discuss have...

Chapter Fourteen: Treat the Cause, Not the Symptom!

Alive and Well

The most logical question for anyone to ask at this point is, "If nutritional therapy is as successful as you say, why isn't every doctor in this county using it?" The only accurate answer would be, of course, to ask every doctor in this country. Thus, the ans...
