OPINION: Relay holds special significance in my life

These comments are in no way a criticism of Mr. Gillispie whom I consider an excellent journalist. I am glad he was able to beat his cancer problem.
I once donated to the American Cancer Society too until after my wife was nearly killed, not from cancer, but treatment, I began to look into the subject and discovered the ACS has been engaged in a number of unethical, improper and possibly illegal activites for many years. Multi billions of public and private dollars have been squandered on the war on cancer since president Nixon initiated it in 1971. Yet, while the experience of Mr. Gillispie was positive, most are not. In fact, the grim statistics after having spent all this money are that about one person dies every minute in the U.S. either from cancer, treatment or a combination thereof, often from the treatment itself. This amounts to over half a million victims a year. Yet about every spring, we are told the cure is just around the next billion dollar corner. How long would you continue to pay someone who failed? Suppose someone continually failed to fix your car and continued to expect you to pay and pay and pay over and over again for failure. Would you continue to pay for failure? Of course not. But this is exactly what has been happening now in cancer research for decades. In fact, it appears that the more we spend on cancer research, the more cancer we get!
Space here does not permit a full elucidation of this large and complex subject. So I will provide a few references that themselves contain hundreds of other references to prove the point and a few comments. The American People have been betrayed by the government agencies the FDA, NIH, and NCI and the quasi government agency, the ACS. These agencies have been corrupted by the pharmaceutical companies that are bigger than most govenment and have so much money they can virtually buy anyone or anything they want, and do. A great deal is known and has been known about cancer for many decades before 1971. A genius level scientist in Germany Otto Warburg, M.D., PH.D., discovered the prime cause of cancer in animals as early as 1923. He invented a machine to measure the oxygen uptake of living cells. He invented the tissue slice technique, the smallest size of living tissue that can exist under its own energy supply. He studied with experiments in the laboratory, what happens when one reduces the oxygen to living cells. Obviously, as we all know, if all the oxygen is reduced, the cells all die. What happens if it is partly reduced? He found that when the oxygen is reduced by about one third, some cells die for lack of energy, but others switch to operating on glucose in the absence of oxygen, or a process called fermentation, or anerobic glycolysis, like the lowest forms of life which existed before oxygen appeared on the earth. Dr. Warburg did these experiments for hundreds of organs for different animals and always obtained the same results. It took roughly 40 more years for him and his associates to prove these results for human cancer too which he did by the time of his death in 1970. He concluded that cancer is a disease of respiratory impairment of oxygen deficiency to living cells over a long period of time or the wrong energy supply. These results are based on experiments and facts proved from laboratory experiments, not genetic speculations of unproved statements that genes cause cancer. Unfortunately the medical orthodoxy is a very prejudiced group and most of them have not read and/or not understood the experiments of Otto Warburg and his associates in Germany. Dr. Warburg was a genius level scientist who was nominated for no less than 3 Nobel prizes in medicine, but only awarded one in 1931 not for the cancer work. Three of his pupils were also awarded Nobel prizes in medicine, Otto Meyerhof, Hans Krebs and Hugo Theorell.
