Coley’s Dramatic Cancer Cure, Part 6: Gallo Congratulates Cantwell (in Effect)

by Mary W Maxwell, LLB

The five parts of this Coley series that Gumshoe has published so far were strictly about Coley. And today, too, I will include another case study from the book-size article by his daughter Helen Coley Nauts.

But first to something new under the sun.

At least Dr Robert Gallo says it’s new. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in the US describes a breakthrough (maybe) in cancer treatment based on realization that bacteria play a role in cancer.

This is 2018. But forty years ago, in 1978, Alan Cantwell, MD, published his first study of bacteria in cancer. He did not come to the idea theoretically, although later — in cahoots with Virginia Livingston, MD — he got theoretical. He main discoveries were made by looking down the microscope – an ordinary microscope.

And what did he see?  Bacteria.  Of course everyone told him that the outbreak of bacteria was a result of – not the cause of – the cancer.

Cantwell has never turned his findings into a cure. He does not have a cure. He only requests that scientists stop rejecting the clear evidence.

A Relationship with Gallo

Cantwell does have a “relationship” with Robert Gallo.  It’s the same relationship I have with Gallo.  Cantwell and the late William Douglass, MD, and Len Horowitz and a few others think HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) was made in a lab, likely at Ft Detrick, which is where  Gallo was situated.

Alan Cantwell, who is gay, is the author of Queer Blood, describing the highly suspicious campaign to vaccinate gay men in New York in 1979, purportedly as an experiment in prevention of Hepatitis B.  All the men who took the vaccine died of AIDS, says Cantwell – who has also published extensive opposition to the legend that the virus “jumped species” to humans from a green monkey from Africa.

That said, you would not expect the famous Dr Gallo to acknowledge that he got any inspiration from Cantwell’s work on bacteria-in-cancer.  Nor does Gallo mention Virginia Livingston’s cure for cancer which was based on a vaccine.  (Not a preventative vaccine but a way of culturing the person’s own bacteria and putting it back into the patient.  Her success rate was very high, even with late-stage cancer patients.)

New Theory Involves “DNA Repair”

So what is Gallo’s new theory of bacteria in cancer?  Yours Truly is not qualified to analyze it. I will quote from The University of Maryland School of Medicine (UNSOM) on December 4, 2018”

“Currently, approximately 20% of cancers are thought to be caused by infection, most are known to be due to viruses,” said Dr. Gallo.

“Mycoplasmas are a family of bacteria that are associated with cancers, especially in people with HIV.  Our work provides an explanation for how a bacterial infection can trigger a series of events that lead to cancer. Of particular importance, the infection did not need to persist and the protein did not need to be continuously present in all cancer cells.” [Emphasis added]

The gist of it seems to be the discovery that “DnaK, a protein of the bacterium mycoplasma, interferes with the mycoplasma-infected cell’s ability to respond to and repair DNA damage, a known origin of cancer.” [Emphasis added]

UNSOM’s dean, E Albert Reece, MD, expressed his pleasure that two departments – virology and the Institute for Genome Sciences had collaborated.

I take it the study was done by comparing “immune-compromised” mice that were injected with mycoplasma (from an HIV patient) and other immune-compromised mice that did not receive the mycoplasma.

“The researchers found that mycoplasma infection caused the mice to develop lymphoma earlier in life than non-infected immune-compromised mice and that some, but not all, of the cancer cells had bacterial DNA.”

Gallo’s colleague Dr Zella said:

“We focused on a protein called DnaK, which is part of a family of proteins that function as a ‘chaperone’ for other proteins protecting them from damage or helping them to fold,” said Dr. Zella. “However, in this case, DnaK reduces the activity of important cellular proteins involved in DNA repair and anti-cancer-activities, such as p53. Thus, cells infected with mycoplasma would not be able to properly repair damaged DNA, thus, potentially increasing the risk for cancer development.”

The UNSOM bulletin said:

“Thus, mycoplasma infection could not only trigger events leading to the accumulation of DNA damage and oncogenesis in infected cells, but also trigger cancer-causing events in nearby uninfected cells that took up DnaK released from infected neighboring cells.”

Dr Tettelin said:

“We analyzed the amino acid sequences of DnaK from many bacteria and found that the DnaK proteins from bacteria associated with cancer grouped together were different DnaK sequences from bacteria that are not associated with cancer…. This raises the possibility that other bacteria have the same cancer-promoting ability.”

What Are Coley’s Toxins?

To repeat: I am ignorant of the above science. I can’t say how they tie in with, or do not tie in with, Coley’s very effective cure for cancer – which began to be used in the 1890s and petered out when “radiation treatment” was invented around 1913.

Coley’s work was based on bacteria. Some bacteria produce toxins.

Coley grabbed the toxins, injected them into cancer patients, and (if I read him correctly) the person’s immune system got into action and “cured” the person of the injected substance and also “incidentally” of the cancer.

Various preparations of Coley’s toxins were made by different manufacturers. A total of 14 different ones are published at Wiley Online Library. I will quote only the three most successful ones here:

Lambert, Buxton, and Parke Davis. Recall that case studies earlier in this Gumshoe series specified which type was in use.

Type IV. From 1892 to 1894, prepared by Lambert: A filtrate containing the soluble toxic products of streptococcus erysipelatis obtained from a fatal case was added to [that of] bacillus prodigiosus. These were not subjected to heat but were preserved in glass-stopped bottles by the addition of thymol.  They were mixed only at the time of use.

Type VI. June 1984 to late 1907. Prepared by Buxton. The cultures were grown together.  They were sterilized by heating for one hour at 50 to

60 degrees Celsuis. The first erisepilas were obtained from a fatal case. From 1896 to 1899 the virulence was maintained by frequent passage through rabbits. After 1899 through eggs as well as rabbits… Type XIII. May 1915 to 1951. Prepared by Parke Davis….Chromogenic cultures of prodigiosus were specified and nitrogen determinations were taken after the first sterilization.  A fresh strep was obtained from the Mayo Clinic in January 1922 ….

Case Study Number Four

For those who did not see the earlier parts in this Gumshoe series, Helen Coley Nauts, the daughter of Dr William Coley, came across his papers after he died.  She saw that his rate of cure for cancer patients was about 66% — including cases that had been at the terminal stage.

She then found the cases and checked on follow-up throughout the lives of those persons.  For reasons to be discussed in a later Part, Nauts did not get much enthusiasm from the medical establishment in America.

However a medical journal in Stockholm, Acta Medica Scandinavia, published her 103-page work in 1953.

The name of the article is “A Review of the Influence of Bacterial Infection and of Bacterial Products (Coley’s Toxins)  on Malignant Tumors in Man” by Helen Coley Nauts, George A A Fowler, MD, and Frances H Begato, MD, FACS.

I will list one case here, to show that the early doctors were more or less using trial and error to establish the correct dosage of the toxins, and to learn how the fever or chills were involved with the curative process.

CASE 4: Miss E.E.F, age 44 of Connecticut [abridged]

In October 1895 she first noticed a hard lump below the left clavicle. [It] grew rapidly and by one month had reached the size of an orange. It was firmly adherent to the deep vessels in the axilla region. Her general health deteriorated.

Toxin Therapy. Buxton Type VI.  Injections were begun by Storrs and Dr Griswold the day after her admission to Hartford Hospital. The first chill occurred after the fourth injection on December 29. Injections were given every day till February 8.

The following day a more potent solution prepared from more virulent cultures was obtained and the dose was reduced from 8 minims to one minim. It produced the most violent chills.  The patient reported:

“Chills came on 30 to 90 minutes after treatment and lased 30 to 45 minutes.  The days I had a chill I had less pain and felt better after the chill than the days when I had none.”

A total of 76 injections were given over 3 months. By March 1896 the growth had disappeared and the patient had gained weight, and strength.  When last traced by Coley she was well except for pain in her knee joints.

She died in 1943 at the age of 89 of heart disease. This was 47 years after the toxins were administered.

The Shame of Suppressed Cancer Cures

Shame on Dr Lloyd Cox of Sloan Kettering, who would not accept Helen Coley Nauts’ remarkable compilation of her father’s successes.

Shame on the American Medical Association for its pressuring state legislatures to criminalize doctors who administer any cures other than the Big Three (surgery, radiation, and chemo).

Shame on the associates of Dr Alan Cantwell who, over the years, refused even to look at his photos of microscopic evidence of bacteria in cancer.

Shame on Gallo & Co for acting like this new insight into bacteria is new.

Shame on the persons who created “immunodeficiency virus” as part of the Ft Detrick plan to weaponize disease.

Helen Coley Nauts ended her 1953 book poignantly with a quote from Cicero:

“If no use is made of the labor of past ages, the world must remain always in the infancy of knowledge.”

Infancy of knowledge?  It’s more like we have pushed the born child back into the womb.

She believes the 21st century assault on human health was maliciously planned and she is disgusted by people’s refusal to face up to this blatant fact.
