FYI.....  The IBIS study Don refers to below is the study concerning
Tamoxifen as a breast cancer preventer which received so much "P.R."
coverage two days ago ... and which I and others have commented about
on this network....    guru

Subject: Not another NCI fiddle???

Dear Roy

I would dearly love to see the results of the Americam IBIS study, as it
may shed some light on why the NCI has pulled the plug on continuing the
study, at least in the US.

Has the leopard finally changed it's spots?  Is the NCI now so concerned
about the health of the participants taking the dummy pill in the IBIS
study that they halted further research?

Or is the NCI and Zeneca Pharmaceutical/ Zeneca Group Plc., who manufacture
Tamoxifen, concerned that a continuation of the study might further
increase the significance of uterine cancer?

That would be bad for business.

I hope that the British, Australian, New Zealand and Italian studies do not
fall for this fiddle.  Now more than ever it is important to continue with
the IBIS study, to look at the significance of possible adverse side
effects.

**If anybody can supply me with the full US IBIS results it would be
appreciated. Also press releases.**

This study now needs a full and critical examination.

As for my paper,"Powerline Frequency Electromagnetic Fields and Human
Health - Is it the time to end further research? An overview of three
Recent Studies", It will be on my home page later this week.

Regards

Don Maisch
