The cancer cure story of Jason Vale
May 27, 2003
I am writing you in regards to an extremely important court hearing
between the Food and Drug Administration and a citizen by the name of
Jason Vale. Knowing that your time is limited, I would like to give you
a short explanation of a true story that is much like that of David and
Goliath.
At the age of eighteen, Jason was handed a death sentence by his doctors
when it was discovered that he had terminal cancer. This was confirmed
by a second, third and fourth opinion of reputable doctors who
specialized in his specific type of cancer. As many cancer victims do,
he and his parents sought alternative remedies when traditional
chemotherapy only seemed to make things worse. Through extensive
research, they discovered that for years people who once had cancer
found healing properties in something as simple as the seed of a fruit.
It turned out that apricot seeds, along with other citrus-variety type
of seeds, contain natural properties that help the body to kill cancer.
Jason immediately began to feel better once on a regimen of eating
apricot seeds as a part of his daily diet. Within a short period of
time, Jason's cancer literally disappeared. Jason's story soon became
the talk of the town. His new lease on life allowed Jason to engage in
sports once again. This was important to him because he was an avid
sports enthusiast as he was growing up. His determination and grit
eventually earned him the title of "The Arm Wrestling Champion of the
World" in the middle weight division. As a direct result, Jason's
story
of certain death from cancer to becoming a world recognized sports
figure became a media phenomenon. When the prime-time television show
"Extra" aired Jason's story on national television, it turned out to
be
the program's highest rated show to date so they chose to run that same
episode the following week. This was something they had never done
before in the history of the show. The viewer response was so great
that Jason was inundated with thousands of telephone calls from people
all over the country who had cancer or were concerned friends or family
members of someone who had cancer.
Since then, Jason has inspired and helped over 100,000 people, many of
whom were handed the same death sentence Jason was given over seventeen
years ago. These people are from all walks of life who have had various
types of cancers. Through proper diet, nutrition, and the introduction
of apricot seeds into their daily diets, they have one-by-one created
their own success stories that they will live to tell.
Unfortunately, this real-life story has a turbulent chapter that is now
being written, and this is why we are in dire need of your help. In
November, 2001, Jason was strong-armed by the Food and Drug
Administration into signing a Consent Decree that would prevent him from
sharing his story or promoting apricot seeds. The FDA has now brought
criminal charges against Jason for telling people where to get apricot
seeds. His father had to post $840,000 bail and Jason is pending trial
that is set for July 14, 2003. The Honorable Judge John Gleeson will be
presiding over the proceedings. The same Judge who presided over the
hearing which resulted in the signing of the Consent Decree.
Jason did cease from selling apricot seeds, but continued to share his
own story (to those who called him) of how he survived cancer through
eating apricot seeds. Literally thousands of people have achieved
wellness through Jason's help. You can view some of these stories, along
with a more detailed history of Jason's court case at his websites:
http://seedoffaith.com and http://apricotsfromgod.org
(Big brother got rid of those two sites).
Jason's prior legal counsel assured him he could still share his belief in the
curing properties of the apricot seeds whether it be over the internet or via
the telephone. However, the current criminal charges brought by the FDA
against Jason is a clear indicator that he is not allowed to share his
story. This is clearly a violation of Jason's fundamental right to
Freedom of Speech. It is also evident that the American public's
freedom to choose alternative remedies to health problems is also being
chiseled away through this action by the FDA. It is imperative that the
FDA interprets their own statutes fairly and in accordance with DSHEA,
especially with regard to the apricot seed and Laetrile issues that have
been subject to an ongoing battle for over 30 years. It is imperative
that the apricot seed extract is ruled in court to be a nutriceutical
and allowed to be used by informed Americans who are terminally ill with
cancer.
Next - they put him in jail

This is Johanna Vale, Jason Vale's sister, and I
am writing to update you on what has been happening with Jason and the FDA
situation. As most of you already know, Jason was on trial for violating a
court order which the prosecution says banned him from continuing to sell
laetrile, apricot seeds, vitamin B-17, or anything containing amygdalin.
The injunction, confusing and ambiguous, was first served to Jason several years
ago. At that time, Jason's understanding of the injunction, AND that of his
lawyers, was that he could not sell AND promote laetire together. In other
words, if sold alone, without any information about how and why this product can
help you, selling it would still be legal. So Jason set up one company in
which he sold books and videos which contained information on the product.
Another company, run by our grandmother, sold only the seeds and B-17. In
doing this, Jason truely and firmly believed, and still does, that he was
finding a legal way to continue to help those who needed seeds to find them and
learn about them.
However, during his recent trial which
began on July 14th, the prosecution portrayed Jason as someone with no respect
for the law, who flagrently ignored the injunctions imposed upon him.
Jason was not permitted to tell his own personal story about his bouts with
cancer, and especially forbidden from saying laetrie or B-17 helped him in any
way. The jurors were bombarded with evidence from the prosection which
showed that different companies were set up to sell the B-17, while Jason was
unable to properly explain his side. On July 21st, after a week-long
trial, Jason was convicted on 3 counts of criminal contempt, which carries a
maximum penalty of 20 years.
Jason is currently in prison awaiting
sentencing on Oct. 24th. He was denied requests to be freed even though he
has $850,000 bail on him. The Honorable Judge Gleason will be the sole
person deciding Jason's sentence. There are very little guidlines in this
sort of case, and the judge will be basing Jasons sentence on his own
discretion. The judge obviously believes Jason to be a scam artist, and
anything that can open his eyes and change his heart from now until then is
needed.
I am sure that Jason would love to hear
from all of you. Anyone whom Jason has helped, or who wants to lend their
support should write to him. He is able to receive letters, newspaper
clippings, and pictures. He cannot receive books or magazines unless they
are mailed directly from the publisher.
His address is:
Jason Vale
Metropolitan Detention Center
PO Box 329002
Brooklyn, NY 11232
Keep in mind we are going to need letters
to the judge in the near future. Anyone who has had a positive experience
with laetrile or apricot seeds should write about their personal experience.
The letters should not rant about the injustices of the trial but should build
up Jason's character and hopefully let the judge see that he is not a scam
artist. For now you may want to make a draft, and get together any medical
documents. Even a letter from a doctor which says something to the effect
of "My patient, John Doe, was diagnosed with cancer on so and so a date,
and now is cancer-free, or in remission, and has told me they are taking B-17
and/or apricot seeds."

And YOU thought America was the land of freedom???? NOT!!!!!!

There are two major reasons we don't have a cure for cancer. Why
despite a 40 year old "war" on the disease survival rates haven't
increased one bit. The governmental meddling of the National Institutes
of Health and The National Cancer Institute along with the FDA have
made it difficult, if not impossible, for doctors with breakthrough
cancer therapies to bring their healing discoveries to those who need
them. The orthodox medical establishment is hell-bent on destroying
anyone who dares to challenge the status quo on cancer treatment. Even
though we have lost the war on cancer, we continue to use and promote
the very methods that don't work while banishing those who try
non-pharmaceutical modalities to the scrap heap of healing.
* The New England Journal of Medicine reported that women who had their
entire breast removed (radical mastectomy) didn't live longer than
those who opted for the less-invasive lumpectomy. [1]
* Men who had their prostate gland removed after a diagnosis of cancer
lived just as long as those who didn't. Either way the men lived about
14 years after diagnosis. [2]
* Chemotherapy helped only 2% of cancer patients [3]
* Infection is the most frequent cause of death in cancer patients; and
those infections are likely to have been picked up in a hospital. [4]
These grim stats are out there but they're not being shared with
patients. In fact, those with a cancer diagnosis continue to be
encouraged to do the very things that will sicken, maim and eventually
kill them. All the while, naturally-derived compounds and extremely
effective treatments exist. Patients won't find out about these
treatments from their doctors, however. And with heartbreaking
regularity some very effective treatments are being kept from desperate
patients because of politics. Former New York State Assemblyman Daniel
Haley wrote a book about it. In "Politics In Healing", Haley outlines
ten cases of brilliant medical researchers who risked their freedom and
their fortunes to share their discoveries with terminal patients.
One such story involves Stanislaw Burzynski. With a medical degree and
a Ph.D. in biochemistry, Burzynski left Poland and came to America with
a phenomenal therapy for treating cancer. He helped countless patients
through a treatment that inhibits cancer cell growth called
antineoplastons. Long explanation short, these cells reprogram cancer
cells and inhibit their growth. For his pioneering and enormously
successful work the FDA tried to put him in jail. He's been put on
probation, been messed-with by the NCI (National Cancer Institute, a
governmental agency) despite the fact that he has a verified track
record when it comes to difficult brain tumor cases. Parents of
children with conditions like medullablastoma (brain tumor) have had to
petition the FDA requesting "compassionate exemption" for children who
would otherwise die without the treatment Dr. Burzynski offers.
Little Thomas Novarro suffered from this type of brain tumor and the
prognosis wasn't good. What the FDA recommended- chemo- would have most
likely left Thomas brain damaged, retarded and deaf. He would have
lived, maybe another five years. The boy's parents battled for
something better. They struggled to point out that the chemo the FDA
pushed for Thomas was "carcinogenic, toxic, unproven and ineffective"
according to the parents of another little boy named Alex Horwin who
was similarly not allowed by the FDA Gestapo to seek other treatment.
Alex died in his parents' arms.
It must tear at these parent's hearts to know that the vilified Dr.
Burzynski has successfully treated seven children with the same tumors.
Of those, six are still alive, with tumors either completely gone or
stabilized. The children brought to him who had chemo or radiation have
all died.
Antineoplastons work when the FDA stays out of it and doesn't require
people taking the treatment to have chemo or radiation first.
The medical doctor who came here from Poland must have wondered why in
America people aren't free to choose what type of medical care they
want. Or why he was made to face the inquisition of governmental
agencies trying for years to jail him. Isn't that why he left Poland?
Shontelle Hiron was chosen to carry the Olympic torch during the games
in Sydney in 2000. Seven years before that she was given three months
to live after the discovery of a brain tumor. Shontelle's Australian
town raised money to send her to Dr. Stan Burzynski's clinic in
Houston. As soon as the antineoplastons were started the tumor shrank
and disappeared. Running alongside Shontelle that day was Stan
Burzynski- the man who'd saved her life.
The man America's FDA tried to put in jail.
