In 1961, twenty-eight-year-old Dr. Judah Folkman saw something while doing medical research in a United States navy lab that gave him the first glimmering of a wild, inspired hunch. What if cancerous tumors, in order to expand, needed to trigger the growth of new blood vessels to feed themselves? And if that was true, what if a way could be found to stop that growth? Could cancers be starved to death? Dr. Folkman had ample reason to be self confident second in his class at Harvard Medical School, he was already considered one of the most promising doctors of his generation. But even he never guessed that his idea would eventually grow into a multibillion-dollar industry that is now racing through human trials with drugs that show unparalleled promise of being able to control cancer, as well as other deadly diseases. For the creation of this book, Dr. Judah Folkman cooperated fully and exclusively with acclaimed science writer Robert Cooke. He granted Cooke unlimited interviews, showed him diaries and personal papers, and threw open the doors of his lab. The result is an astonishingly rich and candid chronicle of one of the most significant medical discoveries of our time and of the man whose vision and persistence almost single-handedly has made it possible. Dr. Folkman's radical new way of thinking about cancer was once considered preposterous. So little was known about how cancer spreads and how blood vessels grow that he wasn't even taken seriously enough to be considered a heretic. Other doctors shook their heads at the waste of a great mind, and ambitious young medical researchers were told that accepting a position in Folkman's lab would be the death of their careers. Now, though, the overwhelming majority of experts believes that the day will soon come when antiangiogenesis therapy supplants the current more toxic and less-effective treatments chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery-as the preferred method of treatment for cancer in patients around the world, and Dr. Folkman's breakthrough will come to be taken for granted the way we now take for granted the polio vaccine and antibiotics. Dr. Folkman's War brilliantly describes how high the odds are against success in medical research, how vicious the competition for grants, how entrenched the skepticism about any genuinely original thinking, how polluted by politics and commerce the process of getting medicine into patients' hands. But it also depicts with rare power how exalted a calling medicine can be and how for the rare fewthe brilliant, the tireless, and the lucky the results of success can be world-changing.

In 1998, Nobel laureate Dr James Watson, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, said that, in time, Doctor Judah Folkman would be considered the twentieth century's Darwin for his pioneering research into a cure for cancer. However, at that time, although medicines emerging from Folkman's library were curing many forms of cancer, completely and without side effects, success was only seen in mice. Doing the same in humans seemed a long time away.Now that time seems near. Dr Folkman's theory of anti-angiogenesis - that cancer cells can be starved by cutting off their blood supply - has gone into fast-track clinical trials. The new agents rank among the most important new weapons in the war against cancer to emerge in our time. Already, scores of patients thought doomed have had their cancers cured.Doctor Folkman's War is the chronicle of an epoch-making scientific achievement and the story of a man who turned his back on a golden career in surgery to embark on a lonely and lifelong pursuit of a challenging idea. It was an idea roundly ridiculed and dismissed as ludicrous, but it could turn the tide against cancer and have an impact on several dozen other stubborn ailments - soon. Science journalist Robert Cooke is the only writer who has been given complete and exclusive access to Judah Folkman and his staff, and he is also following patients taking part in clinical trials.

“This book makes a well-researched argument for exploring and implementing an integrative approach to cancer treatment.” —Keith I. Block, MD, author of Life over Cancer The traditional strategy of exclusive conventional cancer treatment has not worked. Integrative oncology that prescribes tested natural, non-pharmaceutical therapies to enhance the effectiveness and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery is the answer. Major medical school cancer centers are researching and practicing this new state-of-the-art strategy, but it is not being accepted by mainstream oncology. It must become acceptable and accessible to all cancer victims if cancer is to ever be defeated. Patients must insist on it and the general public must support it. The objective of A New Strategy for the War On Cancer is to reveal a new approach to the public and to invoke a paradigm shift toward its adoption.

The aim if this book is to analyze the scientific biography of Judah Folkman, one of the most important scientist of the last century. More 50 years ago, Folkman found a revolutionary new way to think about cancer. Blood supply, Folkman hypothesized, was the key to tumor growth. Without new blood vessels, tumors simply did not thrive. In 1971, Folkman published his theory of angiogenesis in the “New England Journal of Medicine”. Angiogenesis, the formation and recruitment of new blood vessels, is necessary for tumor growth. Critics of the theory were silenced over time as Folkman and his colleagues reported the first purified angiogenic molecule, the first angiogenesis inhibitor and proposed the concept of angiogenic disease. The mechanism of angiogenesis is now a worldwide field of investigation. Over the years, Folkman and a growing team of researchers have isolated the proteins and unraveled the processes that regulate angiogenesis. Meanwhile, a new generation of angiogenesis research has emerged as well, widening the field into new areas of human disease and deepening it to examine the underlying biological processes responsible for those diseases.

This book is a highly focused handbook on how Dr. Reich's cancer killing machine worked. This book also explains with diagrams and parts lists how to build and use Dr. Reich's cancer killing Technology to stop cancer. This book shall not delve into Dr. Reich's early and extensive work with Bion samples nor “Bion Radiation”. This is explained in Dr. Reich's book The Cancer Biopathy. Dr. James DeMeo also has scientific papers and information on Dr. Reich's Bion samples – see the Bibliography. This book, in Part-1, briefly reviews how Dr. Reich discovered the Orgone, bion radiation and the Orgone Accumulator. This book shall then explain what Dr. Reich's Orgone is and then because of his exposure to Bion radiation over many years how Dr. Reich made a fundamental mistake. This book shall then explain how Dr. Reich's Orgone Accumulator works. Lastly in Part-1, this book shall provide the information that he tried to share with the world – his Orgone Accumulator stops cancer! Part-2 of this book explains how to build and use various Orgone Accumulators of Dr. Reich's design to stop cancer! My friend and mentor started this book and then set it aside. He is an Engineer. My first degree was a Bachelor of Science in Engineering. My first masters degree was in Bio-Chemical Engineering and my second doctorate was medical pathology. I was aware of my friends early work however I was not aware of the Quantum Holographic nature of the technology that he had discovered and tested. He allowed me to pick up this project and take it to the finish line. I sincerely hope this book helps all who need it. SJT Qi Press Ver 1.1 July 2021

This book focuses on the key issues that affect military families when soldiers are deployed overseas, focusing on the support given to military personnel and families before, during and after missions. Today’s postmodern armies are expected to provide social-psychological support both to their personnel in military operations abroad and to their families at home. Since the end of the Cold War and even more so after 9/11, separations between military personnel and their families have become more frequent as there has been a multitude of missions carried out by multinational task forces all over the world. The book focuses on three central questions affecting military families. First, how do changing missions and tasks of the military affect soldiers and families? Second, what is the effect of deployments on the ones left behind? Third, what is the national structure of family support systems and its evolution? The book employs a multidisciplinary approach, with contributions from psychology, sociology, history, anthropology and others. In addition, it covers all the services, Army, Navy/Marines, Air Force, spanning a wide range of countries, including UK, USA, Belgium, Turkey, Australia and Japan. At the same time it takes a multitude of perspectives such as the theoretical, empirical, reflective, life events (narrative) approach, national and the global, and uses approaches from different disciplines and perspectives, combining them to produce a volume that enhances our knowledge and understanding of military families. This book will be of much interest to students of military studies, sociology, war and conflict studies and IR/political science in general.

In recent years, advances in biological science and technology have outpaced policymakers' attempts to deal with them. Current Controversies in the Biological Sciences examines the ways in which the federal government uses scientific information in reaching policy decisions, providing case studies of the interactions between science and government on different biomedical, biological, and environmental issues. These case studies document a broad range of complex issues in science policy—from the Human Genome Project to tobacco regulation—and provide an accessible overview of both the science behind the issues and the policy-making process. The cases illustrate the different ways in which science and politics intersect in policy decisions, as well as the different forms policy itself may take—including not only regulatory action but the lack of regulation. Among the topics examined are public and private research funding, as seen in gene patenting; reluctance to regulate even when a product has been proven unhealthy, as in the case of tobacco; a comparison of U.S. and international policy responses to genetically modified organisms; and the competing interests at play in air pollution policy. Each chapter includes shorter side essays on related topics (for example, essays on issues raised by the SARS epidemic accompany the detailed case study of the public health response to the anthrax-laced mail received in the weeks after 9/11). This clear and readable introduction to controversial issues in the biological sciences will be a valuable resource for students of science policy and bioethics and for professionals in industry, government, and nongovernmental organizations who need background on emerging issues in the biological sciences.
