Lawrence Burton, PhD

Dr Burton received his PhD from NYU in 1955. Even though he was a zoologist, his focus was on cancer. His reputation grew with his research. He went on to publish sixty-five articles in peer review journals and was asked to be the keynote speaker at scientific conferences.
These factors are:
- Tumor Antibody (Immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, and IgM)
- Tumor Complement Factor
- Blocking Protein Factor
- De-blocking Protein Factor
Eventually, after a thorough study of how tumors grew and how they shrunk, Dr Burton was able to take these factors (some from healthy people and some from people with cancer) and create a serum that shrunk tumors.
One did not need to measure TNF levels to determine the condition of a patients immune system, though TNF is a factor in the serum Burton created to shrink tumors.
Dr Lawrence Burton developed a system that could shrink tumors in the early sixties, long before President Nixon began funding the War on Cancer.
When he published, things got interesting.
Invited by the American Cancer Society to a national seminar of oncologists, Burton brings along cages of mice all with visible tumors. In front of the esteemed oncologists he injects the mice and the next day, they have no visible tumors.
Burton turned them down.
And overnight, Burton became the enemy.
The funding stopped. Invitations to speak vanished. Publications refused to publish. The attacks began.
Burton, nearly broke, had to stop his work. Instead he focused on opening a clinic to cure cancer. It took him a while, but in 1974 he opened a clinic in New York.
