Dr. Burton's Immuno-Augmentative Therapy

The doctor astonished attendees at an American Cancer Society seminar in the 1960s when the serum he created caused tumors on mice to shrink in an hour.

Lawrence Burton was a New York boy! Born in the Bronx in 1926, he earned a Ph.D. in Experimental Zoology from NYU.  For  fifteen years, he worked as an oncologist at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan.  Working with his team of cancer researchers, he discovered a tumor inhibiting factor that reduces cancer in mice with leukemia. 

In 1966, Dr. Burton and his colleague, Dr. Frank Friedman, astonished attendees at an American Cancer Society seminar in Phoenix, Arizona. Taking a group of mice with large,  hard cancerous tumors, they injected their serum.  To everyone's amazement, in an hour and a half the tumors were almost gone. 

Within a few more hours, they had vanished, thanks to Dr. Burton's Immuno-Augmentative Therapy (IAT). They repeated this demonstration in September of the same year, injecting the cancerous mice with  their newly isolated tumor inhibiting factors. But this time, the sixteen mice were selected by the skeptical New York Academy of Medicine oncologist audience members.   Imagine their astonishment as once again, the tumors rapidly dissolved in about an hour.

Naturally, the American Cancer Society wasted no time placing  Dr. Burton's therapy on the "Unproven Methods" blacklist. The story of Dr. Burton's fight to bring  IAT to the suffering public is a long one, and guaranteed to infuriate you. 

Time and again, the cancer treatment establishment tried to procure his formula in order to suppress it, sometimes through unethical means.  He and some of his colleagues were frozen out of the "war on cancer," but Dr. Burton fought on for the rest of his life, finally opening a clinic in Freeport, The Bahamas, Dr. Burton never claimed that the formula, which works through the effects of blood fractions, was a cure. He described it as a kind of "insulin" for cancer.

Dr. Burton discovered that these "blood fractions" were deficient in cancer patients and that when present in the correct amounts, they worked together to control the growth of cancer cells and inhibit the progression of tumors.  IAT is non-toxic and can be self administered after initial treatment. Dr. Burton's reward for his remarkable discovery was to be treated like a pariah, ridiculed and called a "quack" and a charlatan by the mainstream medical establishment. 

Yet, his clinic has treated thousands of patients and not only extended many lives, but placed patients in remission. Dr. Burton died in the early nineties, but his work continues all over the world.

Dr. Marty Goldstein, DVM, of South Salem, New York, uses IAT to treat cancers in animals and has had enormous success for many years. It was my privilege to meet Dr. Goldstein, who proceeded to cure my "incurable" Maltese dog.  Maurice lived on for more than a decade and died of old age when he was eighteen. I think Dr. Burton would have been proud.
