DEATHS FROM CANCER
Sir.—Your correspondent “Orthodox would be quite right in his orthodoxy if medical men were as open-minded a* they ought to be; but, for instance, who can contribute even a letter to the “British Medical Journal”? A layman may—over the years—have stumbled on some great truth—perhaps by experiments on his own body; but where will he be welcomed to put that truth (however valuable and revolutionary) before the medical experts. Take another instance, year after year I prevent the common cold in myself by cooling morning sitz-baths and scrubs; while newspapers reiterate the statement that “there is no cure for the common cold.” The same may be true of cancer and its unknown cause. Healthy rules of Uving and eating, with simple home treatments, may be the better way to approach the problem, probably thus preventing its formation.—Yours, etc., A STITCH IN TIME. Ashburton, January Iff, 1952.
