The Persecution and Trial of Gaston Naessens: The True Story of the Efforts to Suppress an... by Christopher Bird

Naessens, a French-born scientist based in Canada, developed a controversial substance called 714-X, which some say is remarkably effective against cancer and immune system disorders. This book's real focus is on his legal and professional difficulties; Naessens joins the ranks of Gerson, Hoxey, and others whose alternative treatments led to medical ostracism. Bird has investigated his story well, but since he is a true believer, it's hard for the reader to get a balanced view. But subject collections on alternative or unproven methods, especially for cancer or AIDS, should acquire this.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I bought this book years ago when it was published in Canada under the title of THE GALILEO OF THE MICROSCOPE. I have met the late Chris Bird several times. This recreation of the trial of Gaston Naessens for Murder One is absolutely fascinating and a great read. I have a video of what Naessens sees in the live blood under his darkfield microscope. I have lent it a number of times to people with terminal illness who eventually contacted Naessens and now are completely healthy. This is a very important book about a living legend.---Phil Ratte' 61 going on 36
