Dr. Joseph Gold and Hydrazine Sulfate

It might surprise you to know that two thirds of all cancer patients who don't survive die because of a problem called Cachexia ( ka-KEK-see-a).  Cachexia is a wasting process which destroys the body's muscle mass and debilitates the patient to a fatal degree.

This process also occurs in advanced cases of AIDS. Almost 40 years ago, Dr, Joseph Gold, head of the Syracuse Cancer Institute in Syracuse, New York, discovered that Hydrazine Sulfate could not only reverse and prevent this wasting away process, but could also significantly inhibit tumor growth.  In some cases it caused the tumors to disappear entirely.   

Hydrazine Sulfate is also non-toxic, without the side effects of many conventional treatments, and is available off the shelf. It works by inhibiting "Gluconeogenesis," the liver's recycling of lactic acid into glucose.  This sick relationship between the liver and the cancer is what causes healthy cells to starve while increasing deadly sugar, which feeds the cancer.  Cancer loves sugar.  

Dr. Gold was inspired by a paper written by biochemist Paul Ray, explaining  that Hydrazine Sulfate could shut down the enzyme that was necessary to produce glucose from lactic acid.  True to his own theory, Dr. Gold had serendipitously found a real way to starve cancer. So here we go again.  The American Cancer Society put Hydrazine Sulfate on it's  "Unproven Methods" blacklist in 1976 after a clinical trial held at Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan on 29 cancer patients.  It condemned and stigmatized the drug, even though it was later proven that Sloan Kettering botched the tests. Dr.Gold himself visited the hospital  unannounced, and discovered that the trials were not being conducted according to their joint agreements  and the drug testing protocols.   Some patients received doses far too high, while others were grossly under dosed. 

This skewed the test results, to say the least.  The study's protocol called for patients to receive 60 milligrams per day for the first three days, twice a day for the next three days and three times a day for the following six weeks.  Sloan was administering 90 to 100 milligrams at one time, giving some patients a 67 percent overdose.

Although the testing could never be published today, the damage was done. The blacklisting by the ACS caused Dr. Gold to lose his funding and deterred other researchers from following up Dr. Gold's previous research. In 1975, a study on 84 advanced cancer patients showed that 70% of them experienced weight gain, or stopped weight loss and also reduced pain.  Tumor improvement was not as gratifying, coming in at only 17%. But others were watching and conducting their own tests on Hydrazine Sulfate.  The Russians at Petrov Institute in Leningrad, were conducting their own tests, with more impressive results.  In a study of 48 terminal cancer patients, 35 percent had tumor reduction, and 59 percent showed a return to near normalcy or better.

Then, something remarkable happened.  The ACS reversed itself in 1979 and removed Hydrazine Sulfate from its blacklist. something it had done only four previous times.  In 1982, Hydrazine Sulfate was removed permanently from the list. It's remarkable ability to both reduce or destroy tumors and reverse the wasting away syndrome of cachexia make it one of the most amazing treatments in the war against cancer.
