Book Review: A Classic and Bizarre Hoax
Summary: 1 Stars

First of all, the reader needs to understand that Dr. Clark has her own definition of cancer. We are not talking here about curing people who have cancer as it is generally known. Dr. Clark has discovered not only the cure for cancer - she has also discovered the only method of diagnosing it. For her, cancer occurs when a person tests positive for a substance which she calls, "ortho-phospho-tyrosine." The only way to test for the presence of this substance is to use a device called the "Syncrometer," invented and owned by - guess who? Using this device she determines who is sick and who is cured. Not surprisingly, some of her cures are almost instantaneous. Was there a W.C. Fields movie about this?

In between testing her "patients," the author uses a variety of methods, some benign and some not so, to effect the "cure." A number of her patients do not return, probably being reluctant to have all their teeth pulled, for example. There are others who never seem to leave - like the woman who has been "unwell" for ten years, but keeps testing "negative." For those not able to visit her office, Dr. Clark has kindly included a section on testing oneself for cancer at home, by making a variety of electronic gadgets to gauge one's progress.

Now, this may be "thinking outside the box," but then psychotics usually do. I believe, in reading the language in this book, and taking note of the many medieval-style tests, that the author is indeed suffering from some extended type of delusion. A particularly telling passage is on page 494, where she shows you how to test for aluminum in your brain by using pork brains from the grocery store, contaminating them, and then measuring the "resonance" between these and your own brain.

The entire book could be read as a collosal extended joke, and I was at first tempted to look at it in this way. It reminded me of some of the exercises we were given in high school to develop critical thinking. However, when I saw that there was no hint from the publisher or author that would even suggest such a notion, I came to the sad conclusion that this is actually a serious hoax. The author appears to be practicing medicine in Mexico, using her PHD in physiology to give her credibility. One can only hope that none of her readers have electrocuted themselves while trying to find out if they have cancer.

Alternative points of view are important, but this is not one of the intelligent or even sane ones. As the spouse of a cancer surviver, I believe strongly that one needs to think critically about everything thing one reads - from outside and inside the medical establishment. For people who are interested in environmental causes of cancer and what they can do to help themselves, I recommend the work of Dr. Samuel Epstein. Dr. Epstein is a professor at the School of Public Health at U of Illinois. He is a maverick with credentials. His Safe Shopper's Bible has been very useful to our family, and I highly recommend it to anyone worried about contaminants in their food.
