Hello everyone,

My 30 pages of research, The Cure for Cancer?, describes simple treatments for Cancer, HIV/AIDS, Alcohol Abuse, Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS), and Macular Degeneration. It was 'published' on The Internet in July, 1999; refer to www.datadepo.com/cancercure/tac-cure.htm.
On April 17, I discovered a fact about Cancer. The Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) should immediately alert the Nation about this discovery.
The shiitake mushroom contains Thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (TAC).
This mushroom is one of the very few foods which naturally contains TAC.
In 1979, in a Spanish authorized cancer clinical trial, pure TAC was administered to human beings, and these were the results:
".....Definite signs of activity were observed in epidermoid carcinoma of other regions and in other solid tumours such as breast, renal, ovary, thyroid, and parotid cancer."
".....Histological studies showed involution and transformation into low-grade malignancies and disappearance of evidence of cancer."
The doctors of Cancer patients could immediately purchase TAC from a company in Massachusetts (It is inexpensive - 250g costs $132.00.) and follow the procedure described on pages 7 to 9 (left hand side pagination) of The Cure for Cancer? .
In the meanwhile, all Cancer  patients should immediately begin to eat shiitake mushrooms or go to their health food stores and purchase bottles of shiitake supplements (approximate price - $13.00 for 100 capsules, 600 mg.).
After pure TAC is obtained by their doctors, the patients would no longer need to consume shiitake mushrooms as a Cancer treatment.

NOTE TO DOCTORS -
Like all chemicals, TAC is somewhat toxic.

However, I have discovered that vitamin C neutralizes, negates or simply gets rid of the toxicity of TAC.
This fact could be the key breakthrough in the treatment of all kinds of Cancer - patients could swallow 'mega-doses' of TAC if they also swallowed 'mega-doses' of vitamin C.
My latest letter, also initially posted to The Internet on this date, April 20, 'Simple treatments for Cancer, HIV/AIDS, Alcohol Abuse, ALS, Macular Degeneration & CML' contains information about -
1. The chemical company in Massachusetts which sells TAC
2. The shiitake mushroom
3. Treatment for Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML).
If you are interested, please write to me, jsr1936@jsr1936.com, and I will eMail it to you. Members of eGroups, please first check your postings because it might already be listed.
Yours truly, John Stacy Roberts, P.O. Box H, Hobart, IN 46342, (219) 763-1933
Post Script -
Why is Thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (Thioproline, TAC) such an effective anti-cancer agent? It is very hydrophobic (water-repellent), and it is my assumption that when cancer cells absorb it they lose their ability to absorb water; thus they die. Normal cells are not affected similarly.   j.s.r.
