Those who have read the surgical oncologist Jayant Vaidya's post that I had posted, and those who have tried hard to look for the description of the so-called mouse experiment in the medical scientific literature would realize why the following quote is a gross misrepresentation of fact regarding cancer.
--- Mario Goveia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote quoting Gilbert: > > "The current explanation for this (statistical > significant) observation is that the surgery > depresses the immune system, allowing the tumors to >now behave and grow even more aggressively. Hence >cancer surgery has undergone and is undergoing >significant shift......" > Both Jayant and I have not been able to find a single paper on a mouse study with the description provided by Gilbert, and published a few years ago, as he claimed, in the medical scientific literature. And as Jayant pointed out, the mouse experiments (described differently) that have been done, have looked at what are termed as anti-angiogenic effects that have nothing to do with depressing the immune system. As Mervyn pointed out in different words earlier, I am happy that, with each rehash of misinformed comments on this issue, I am getting an opportunity to expose every single one of the many scientific flaws that I had found in that original post by Gilbert in the "Science as a Religion" thread.
