More of our Ralph Moss interview.

 

America's War on Cancer began in the early 1970s and New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center was the research institution leading the charge.  According to a new book, and documentary, the Center wasn't always truthful with the American public. When it came to Laetrile Therapy, at the time a widely publicized alternative cancer treatment, our next guest says they lied about its effectiveness and  suppressed their own positive test results. Was there a cover-up?  And if so, why? Our guest is Ralph Moss, a science writer for more than 40 years.  He's written 10 books and made three documentary films on cancer.  His newest book is "Doctored Results:  The Suppression of Laetrile at Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research."  The documentary film, "Second Opinion," by filmmaker Eric Merola, is based on that book.
