COMMENTS:
"Moelaert has somehow managed to pack a great deal of
useful information on the science and politics of cancer, including
how to reduce risks of cancer, into a small and highly reader-friendly
monograph. He is to be warmly congratulated."
DR. SAMUEL S. EPSTEIN
"I have quite a few cancer patients who still believe
in the conventional mutilation treatments. The Cancer Conspiracy
should help them rethink matters."
DR. ZOLTAN RONA
"I think the Cancer Conspiracy is a very good book. I
agree there is a major conspiracy to benefit the bottom line
and to protect one's paradigm or turf. It is important that books
like The Cancer Conspiracy are written to educate as many people
as possible."
DR. ABRAM HOFFER
"The Cancer Conspiracy is an eye-opening account which
answers many vital questions
to inform and empower the reader."
DR. FRED H. KNELMAN

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
John Moelaert is a writer who specializes in social and environmental
issues. Since 1958 his work has been published in newspapers
and magazines across Canada, in the US and Japan. He has held
several editorships at newspapers and magazines.
His keen interest in social justice and conservation led to his
involvement in many organizations, including Greenpeace, Amnesty
International and the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility.
During the late seventies he campaigned against proposed uranium
mining in his province. More than 100 organizations fought the
British Columbia Government and various mining companies on the
grounds that uranium mining would increase cancer rates. The
three-year battle was won February 27, 1980 when the B.C. Government
announced a seven-year moratorium on uranium mining and exploration.
To this day no uranium mines have been allowed in B.C.
He first became involved in the medical and political aspects
of cancer in 1979 during his mother's illness with stomach cancer
to which she succumbed later that year.
Since then he has done extensive research on the causes, diagnoses,
treatments and especially the politics of cancer. He has written
numerous articles on his findings, addressed various public meetings
and has been frequently interviewed by the news media. During
the eighties he publicly criticized the name of the B.C. Cancer
Control Agency, pointing out that since cancer clearly is not
under control the name was misleading. On February 14, 1990 the
Board of Trustees agreed and changed the name to the B.C. Cancer
Agency
