Comstock's Business Excerpt from New Treatment Destroys Cancerous Cells and Promotes Healthy Ones by Dell Richards August 2004

Local medical professionals comment on Poly-MVA Signe Beebe, a local veterinarian, veterinary acupuncturist and the founder of the Integrative Veterinary Center, has used the compound at the center for one year. "Compounds like Poly-MVA that don't poison normal cells are the wave of the future." Although two dogs receiving Poly-MVA died, they both lived longer than anyone expected. "One dog was given six weeks by UCD [UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine]," says Beebe. "But the dog lived six months." Six months may not seem like much, but it translates to three and a half years for humans. In addition, the dogs had received chemotherapy that may have weakened their already debilitated immune systems. "When you poison with chemo, you poison the normal as well as the abnormal cells most of the time," says Beebe. "The treatments we have are way too harsh. In many cases, they kill as much as they cure. We're doing the best we can, but we're hampered by lack of medical research in this area," says Beebe, who lectures on OCCAM to UCD veterinary students. "Everyone wants something that can selectively inhibit and kill cancer cells."
