Private Papers Pertaining To Laetrile

The purpose of this volume is to place into the public record the author's private collection of letters and documents cited or quoted in his book World without Cancer; the Story of Vitamin B17 (Westlake Village, CA: American Media, 1997). Few if any of these items have been published elsewhere. This volume, therefore, represents the means by which they shall be preserved for public scrutiny and future research. The papers are arranged alphabetically, first by the last name of the document's author, and secondly by the name of the recipient, if applicable. In some cases, these documents contain pencil markings along the margins and underneath selected phrases. These markings were added during the initial stage of research as aids for locating key passages during the final stage of writing. It was not practical to remove them. The image quality of several items is rather poor due to the fact that, in many cases, the author's original was, itself, a second-generation photocopy. Furthermore, they were made during the 1970s wheri photocopy technology was in its infancy. All items are legible, however, and that is what matters for our purpose. It is the author's conviction that the substance of these papers will someday be recognized as one of the great scientific scandals and medical turning points of history. G. Edward Griffin
