NEW YORK, Jan. 12, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- The world has been waiting for thirty years and finally the truth is out. David James's new revelatory book A Last Stand, An American Tragedy crumbles the thirty year wall of misinformation and controversy about a revolutionary cancer treatment developed by Lawrence Burton Ph.D., a maverick, self exiled research scientist from St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan. The author exposes what agencies in the United States Cancer Establishment did not want heard by an American public desperate for answers to the cancer puzzle.
David James takes the reader on a journey from Dr. Burton's amazing breakthrough in cancer research to remarkable cancer remissions to the blackballing of an American scientist who refused to play ball on the establishment's terms. Revealed to the reader is a major discovery in cancer research that has helped thousands of people control their cancer and a secret agenda by mainstream medicine to discredit this scientist and his living and breathing statistics. Dr. Burton's results were remarkable and he had made headlines across the globe (Sixty Minutes and New York Magazine also did full stories on him) by controlling cancer after conventional medicine had failed.
After Chemotherapy, radiation and surgery this treatment is one of the most widely used nonconventional treatments for cancer. This is the only book that documents the whole story. Many will want to know the story behind this scientist's nontoxic approach and the reasons WHY this treatment has never been available to dying patients in the United States.
A Last Stand, An American Tragedy is a true story of human compassion, struggle, and the continuation of treatment and research at any cost in order to save the lives of dying patients. David James takes the reader full circle, scanning a thirty-year period from scientific ridicule to amazing cancer remissions to the biggest medical conspiracy of the century, to an encouraging 2003 United States Government and RAND Corporation study on this innovative treatment against the most dreaded disease of our time.
