Cancer Treatment Claims
[Per Press Association. Copyright ] WELLINGTON, This Day.
Reports on the nature and effect of the treatment of cancer with the fluids developed by Mr. Norman Baker and Dr. William Koch were considered at the Australian and New Zealand Cancer Conference, when it was decided that, as a result of its investigations, the conference did not approve, and therefore did not recommend, such methods of treatment.
The discussions were not open to
the press.
A report supplied by the conference states: “The patients that have been investigated in Australia and New Zealand have not, in the opinion of the conference, derived any benefit from Mr. Baker’s or Dr. Koch’s treatment.
“The conference is of the opinion that it is highly improper for any person, medical or lay, to claim success for an alleged cure unless such treatment has been investigated by competent observers, particularly when by so doing they are exploiting a secret and commercial nostrum."
