Questionable methods of cancer management: the Committee for Freedom of Choice in Medicine, Inc
The Committee for Freedom of Choice in Medicine is the political arm of
several interlocking corporations promoting and/or marketing questionable
remedies for cancer and other serious diseases. Operating during the 1970s
as the Committee for Freedom of Choice in Cancer Therapy, the organization
fought for legalization of laetrile and claimed to have many members. Today
the Committee appears to be a small group whose principal activities are
speeches and press conferences by its leaders, protests to government
agencies, and publication of a small-circulation newsletter.
