Some do and some don't, it really is a case-by-case basis, not a blanket

Why do you believe that there is a conspiracy against Laetrile? What
specifically makes you think this is true as opposed to saying that there
isQuoted message said:always a general conspiracy?
Because there was a suppression of the truth behind it. There's a conspiracy
to cover up the truth.
Ralph Moss was sacked from his position at Memorial Sloane Kettering because
he was told to tell lies about Laetrile.
The lab reports showed it was active and yet he was told to tell the public
the opposite.

Insinuating that an executive-level position made him privy to the inner
workings at Sloan-Kettering Institute, Moss represents that he was assistant
director of public affairs at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center during the
mid-1970s. However, documents I have from Sloan-Kettering officials indicate
that his only title was "science writer."
Moss suggests that a Sloan-Kettering researcher, Kanematsu Sugiura, found that
laetrile was effective against cancer in mice and that his work was never
repeated or refuted. The book fails to mention that at least six major cancer
research institutions did repeat Sugiura's experiments and had negative
results.
*****Read that again, Anth. Six Major cancer research institutions did repeat
Sugiura's experiements and had negative results!!!!!!

Quoted message said:His ethics crushed him
That should read "lack of ethics." He's a liar. See above, the part about
claiming that Sugiura's experiements were never repeated. They were repeated
SIX times, each with negative results!!!
!>and he blew the whistle on the organisation that was
Quoted message said:his bread and butter - he's a decent guy in that respect.
Nope, he's a liar, see above yet again. Six negative repeats on the trials and
he still claims its never been repeated!
Quoted message said:There's high power liars in high positions - either that or they are pretty
stupid and shouldn't be in their job.
Stupid? How's this for stupid?

Moss endorses the work of the late Dr. Virginia Livingston-Wheeler, who claimed
that cancer is caused by a bacterium she named Progenitor cryptocides. He
neglected to mention that scientists don't believe her hypothesis because there
is no proof that the organism exists. Neither Dr. Wheeler nor anyone else has
been able to produce a cancer by injecting her alleged organisms into
experimental animals. Independent researchers have found numerous cases where
cancer tissues did not contain the organism. In addition, cultures of
"Progenitor cryptocides" from Dr. Wheeler's own lab, which were grown in other
labs, turned out to be common forms of Staphylococci that inhabit the skin.

Well, I'm sorry that your "decent guy in that respect" is really a shameless
huckster and lying sack of [censored]. Oh, I forgot to mention that he's a fruitcake
for believing that cancer is caused by Progenitor cryptocides. Geez, Anth,
quit hitching your wagon (belief system) to the dimmest bulbs, most obvious
liars, and most contemptable [censored]!
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Did you know Laetrile was condemned before it was tested? (see above)
By whom? Did it GET tested? Did it pass those tests? Were those tests
wellQuoted message said:designed and controlled? Anyone willing to work in Mexico could resume
trialsQuoted message said:of it....
Laetrile was tested in mice and it was shown to halt metastasis in a high
%age of cases. (see above - condemed)
No, see above where the results were negative in the six attempts to replicate
the study.
Quoted message said:(Now if that isn't valuable what is? Was this tested in humans or even
researched? Not to my limited knowledge!)
See above, it was re-tested and failed all 6 times.
Quoted message said:What pisses me off is that there's people dieing from metastasis in surgery
and this substance might have helped them.
Put your mind at ease on that point, it would have injured, not helped them.
So, in summation, Ralph Moss is a remorseless liar. He's lied about the most
basic of his claims in his employment, the replication of the Laetrile
experiments, and his claim that all oncologists are in on a grand conspiracy to
let their patients, friends, family, and own selves die due to a lack of
laetrile.
