Mobilise! No. 35, March 1993

Dr Trevor Powles of Britain's Royal Marsden Hospital, cancer specialist who is conducting the trials said in defence of his experiments:

"We may be able to show that Tamoxifen does things in testtubes, we may be able to show that it does things in rats, and we may be able to show that Tamoxifen does things in other animals, but in the end we do not know what it does in humans... that's it - we've got to do the experiment."

At the conclusion of the documentary the local presenter said: "There are no plans to do the trials in New Zealand"; upon which he made the following electrifying statement:

"Healthy New Zealand women are however being used in special tests of tamoxifen, using normal post-menopausal women with their consent, to see if tamoxifen will prevent bone loss."

Thus New Zealand women are openly being experimented upon with a drug which increases a risk of bloodclots and cancer of the lining of the uterus, and is suspected of increasing risk of liver cancer and abdominal tumours and the promotion of new cancers!

This experiment reveals three facts of which there is no doubt:

  1. The mis-use of public money that should be spent on legitimate surveys of life-style, environment, pollution, lineage, diet etc to investigate the reason for the increasing incidence of cancer. (In which there are no profits for the drug companies.)
  2. The profits for the vivisectors of multitudes of healthy women can be enticed, frightened or otherwise conned into taking their daily wonder-drug to 'prevent' cancer.
  3. The certainty that further experiments will take place in massive proportion as normal practice, with or without the consent or knowledge of the participant should this brainwashing go unchallenged.

Breast eradication...to benefit the nation!

Medical Frontiers

Breast cancer could be eradicated by doctors carrying out mastectomies on healthy women, a leading British doctor suggests in the British Medical Journal.

"The way to eradicate breast cancer is to remove the breasts before the cancer develops,"

.. says James Drife, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Leeds General Infirmary.

Drife admits the surgery sounds "shocking" and describes the operation as the removal of a "redundant gland and a pad of fat."

He says the operation is not widespread because both men and women see mastectomy as "unacceptably mutilating".

People think breasts have an "emotional importance", he says. Women irrationally often want to keep their breasts even when they turn malignant, as they are symbols of sexuality.

"The age at which she has the operation may be left to the woman. With the insertion of implants, it could be carried out at any age, but the sensible option would be prophylactic mastectomy either at the completion of her family or at the menopause.

Society should not deny this option to women, particularly those with a family history of breast cancer. The breast at 50 has no function apart from its psychological one. If my beard had a 6 per cent chance of turning malignant I would shave it off."

Animal Research Takes Lives - Humans and Animals Both Suffer (http://www.health.org.nz/cover.html) reveals the following about human experiments:

That in the 1950s Thalidomide was tested on hundreds of children, some less than a year old. That the parents were not asked for their permission, neither were they informed of the trials. Half were brain-damaged. Some had circulatory collapse. Chemie Grunenthal, aware of the danger, marketed the drug for six years before removing it from the market.

That in 1951 the drug company Hoechst used children in experimental trials of Spirocid for congenital syphilis. Some were brain-damaged resulting in permanent severe destruction of the nervous system. Though the drug was confirmed as the factor causing the damage the company continued to dispense and sell it for a further eight years - even recommending it "to be taken twice daily as a tonic".

That the U.S. Government funded a vivisection programme in Finland headed by an American vivisector Dr Peter Adam, under whose jurisdiction living fetuses were experimented on.

"They carried the baby out of the incubator and it was still alive. A boy. It had a complete body with hands, feet, mouth and ears. It was even secreting urine. Without anaesthetic they sliced its belly open and said they wanted its liver."

Asked to explain the horror Dr Kekomaki said...

"An aborted baby is just garbage..."

That tens of thousands of healthy patients, including many children, have been prescribed more than 150 experimental cancer drugs, many of which:

"have caused more painful deaths than the illness itself would have done".

Of these experiments Prof. Croce writes:

"This is blind - violent - genuine vivisection."

That the New Zealand Government, fully aware that the injectable contraceptive Depo-Provera was banned in the USA for causing cancer of the breast and uterus, loss of bone density and anaphylacsis (an allergic reaction which causes patients to stop breathing), allowed over 20,000 women a year, for years on end, a massive proportion of the population, to be used in trials, many without their consent or knowledge. (At the Upjohn enquiry into the tragedy of Depo-Provera the company admitted it was using New Zealand women as test subjects.)
