<p>1953 Fitzgerald Report The 1953 Fitzgerald Report was a highly controversial and suppressed document from 1953, written by Special Counsel for the Sen- ate Interstate and Foreign Commerce Com- mittee member Benedict Fitzgerald. His re- port would reveal a monopolistic effort on be- half of many organizations to block effective cancer treatments. Commissioned by Congressman Charles Tobey in the 1950s to investigate a possible conspiracy in orthodox medicine at the time, Benedict Fitzgerald conducted an extensive study on the practices of many establish- ments specializing in cancer issues. These included: • American Cancer Society • American Medical Association • Anne Fuller Fund, New Haven, Connecticut • Babe Ruth Foundation • Black, Stevenson Cancer Foundation, Hattiesburg, Mississippi • Bondy Fund, New York • Jonathan Bowman Fund, Madison, Wisconsin • Crocker Cancer Research Fund, New York • Damon Runyon Cancer Fund • Phllip L. Drosnes and the Drosnes- Lazenbey Clinic, Pittsburgh, Pa. • Dr. F. M. Eugene, Blass Clinic, Long Valley, New Jersey • Dr. Gregory Clinic, Pasadena, California • Hoxsey Cancer Clinic, 4507 Gaston Avenue, Dallas, Texas • C. P. Huntington Fund, New York • International Cancer Research Foundation, Philadelphia, Pa. • John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Md. • Dr. Waldo Jones, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina • Lakeland Foundation, Chicago, Illinois • Lincoln Foundation, Medford, Mass. • Memorial Hospital, New York • Dr. K. F. Murphy and Dr. Charles Lyman Lofler Clinic, 25 E. Washington Street, Chicago, Illinois • New York Skin and Cancer Hospital, New York • Radium Institute of New York • Henry Rutherford Fund, New York • Charles F. Spang Foundation, Pittsburgh, Pa. • University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois • University of Illinois, Champaign, Illinois Government Organizations: • The Department of Health, Education and Welfare • Food and Drug Administration • Federal Trade Commission [1] As Fitzgerald states in the opening para- graphs of his report, his studies were conduc- ted to examine the following: "1. All those individuals, organiza- tions, foundations, hospitals and clinics, throughout the United States, which have an effect upon in- terstate commerce and which have been conducting researches, invest- igations, experiments and demon- strations relating to the cause, pre- vention, and methods of diagnosis and treatment of the disease cancer, to determine the interstate ramifica- tions of their operations, their finan- cial structures, including their fund- raising methods, and the amounts expended for clinical research as distinguished from administrative expenditures, and to ascertain the extent of the therapeutic value claimed by each in the use of its par- ticular therapy. 2. The facts in- volving the discovery of, the imports from a foreign country of, the re- searches upon, and the interstate experiments, demonstrations, and use of the various drugs, prepara- tions, and remedies for the treat- ment of the disease cancer, such drugs to include the so-called won- der drug Krebiozen, Glyoxylide, Mu- corhicin and others. 3. The facts in- volving the interstate conspiracy, if any, engaged in by any individuals, organizations, corporations, associ- ations, and combines of any kind whatsoever, to hinder, suppress, or restrict the free flow or transmission From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 1953 Fitzgerald Report 1 of Krebiozen, Glyoxylide, and Mu- corhicin, and other drugs, prepara- tions and remedies, and information, researches, investigations, experi- ments and demonstrations relating to the cause, prevention and meth- ods of diagnosis and treatment of the disease cancer. 4. The facts in- volving the operations of voluntary cooperative prepaid medical plans and the organizations sponsoring said plans which are engaged in in- terstate commerce and which in- clude in their programs medical treatment for the disease cancer, to determine the extent of their inter- state insurance operations, the iden- tity of their originators and spon- sors, and the resistance, if any, that each insurer has experienced from any individuals, organizations, cor- porations, associations, or combines, in their attempts to offer protection to those who are afflicted with the disease cancer. 5. The facts in- volving the inequality of opportunity, if any, that exists with regard to race, creed or color, in connection with the admission of students, re- searchers, and patients to institu- tions throughout the United States engaged in cancer therapy.".[1] Upon Fitzgerald investigating the aforemen- tioned list of establishments, his findings were shocking. He discovered that numerous government agencies were suppressing a handful of successful cancer treatments, and only approving harmful radium, x-ray & sur- gery based remedies as acceptable treat- ments. Fitzgerald states: If radium, x-ray or surgery or either of them is the complete answer, then the greatest hoax of the age is being perpetrated upon the people by the continued appeal for funds for further research. If neither x-ray, radium or- surgery is the complete answer to this dreaded disease, and I submit that it is not, then what is the plain duty of society? Should we stand still? Should we sit idly by and count the number of physicians, sur- geons and cancerologists who are not only divided but who, because of fear or favor, are forced to line up with the so-called accepted view of the American Medical Association, or should this Committee make a full scale investigation of the organized effort to hinder, suppress and re- strict the free flow of drugs which allegedly have proven successful in cases where clinical records, case history, pathological reports and x- ray photographic proof, together with the alleged cured patients, are available."[1] He then goes on to summarize his findings. "We should determine whether ex- isting agencies, both public and private, are engaged and have pur- sued a policy of harassment, ri- dicule, slander, and libelous attacks on others sincerely engaged in stamping out this curse of mankind. Have medical associations, through their officers, agents, servants and employees, engaged in this practice? My investigation to date should con- vince this committee that a conspir- acy does exist to stop the free flow and use of drugs in interstate com- merce which allegedly has solid therapeutic value. Public and private funds have been thrown around like confetti at a country fair to close up and destroy clinics, hospitals, and scientific research laboratories which do not conform to the view- point of medical associations."[1] Because of his discoveries of contradiction and corruption between agencies designed to cure people and exposing the American Med- ical Association’s effort to block effective cancer treatments, the Fitzgerald Report has been suppressed for the last 53 years.
