I've searched on the New York Times website for any mention of this book (I had hoped it might have been reviewed by the Times), but haven't found anything (the book was published in 1995 and the archives for the Times site apparently only go back to 1996).

Does anyone know of any reviews of this book that may have appeared in the mainstream press or in medical publications? I want to know who Moss' critics are and read their opinions for myself.

-I have access to Lexis-Nexis, a newspaper database that goes back 20 years. It has contect from all the bigtime papers like the New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, SF Examiner, London Times, plus several other English language papers from around the world.

Ralph Moss barely has any mention in these papers, much less a dedicated review of his books.

My personal opinion is that Moss always chooses facts that support his view and completely ignores everything else. His views on Vitamin C are completely unsupported by even the Linus Pauling Institute - a group who promotes this 'orthomolecular' medicine of using micronutrients to fight disease.

-Medical publications typically don't bother to review books by cranks, quacks, and paranoids. If Moss wants to be reviewed in a reputable scientific journal, then he should try writing a reputable scientific book.

Another way to deal with Moss, is to understand more of Moss' true agenda.

Here's a review of one of Moss' other books:

Read this Moss interview:

All the elements of the quack/crank/pseudo-scientist are there: He embraces Laetrile and other quack remedies. He claims that all decisions of mainstream medicine w.r.t. cancer are done for POLITICS
(actually it's Moss with the political agenda--"Chemotherapy is machismo"). And that mainstream medicine is deliberately ignoring the treatments that really work (like Laetrile!). Combined with selective slanting of facts and ignoring of contradictory evidence (exactly what Moss accuses the mainstream medical world of doing). That's the kind of paranoia, conspiracy theory, stuff that we've heard from quacks ever since there were quacks.
