Letter from Marvis Matthews to Marshall W. Nirenberg
Description:
Matthews praises Nirenberg for the altruistic nature of his research and requests his opinion on three distinct methods of treatment for cancer: Glenn Kittler's laetrile control, Herbert Bailey's Krebiozen treatment, and Max Gerson's dietary methods. Mention is made of John Beard's book on enzyme treatment for cancer and the work of Ernst Krebs, Sr. and Jr. on developing a urine test for the detection of cancer. Matthews asks for Nirenberg's advice on avenues that she might pursue toward getting a fair trial for these therapies.
