In 1973, as the Watergate scandal was becoming public knowledge, CIA Director Richard Helms ordered that major documents relating to President Nixon's 'War on Cancer' be collected and destroyed. There was something in these documents dealing with the "formulation, the development and the retention of" illegal biologicals that were used to wage war and experiment widely on Third World populations, that must be hidden from the world.

It is now evident that the "illegal biologicals" he referred to included the pathogenic agents which have led to the AIDS epidemic and other world health crisis.

In The Extremely Unfortunate Skull Valley Incident the authors trace history of the secret war against and the terrible experiments performed upon their own citizens as well as the Third World populations. But Skull Valley does more than that. In their research the father-son team discovered the links between AIDS and many other diseases now increasing dramatically worldwide. Chief among these is myalgic encephalomyelitis/fibromyalgia dismissively labelled " chronic fatigue syndrome" by the government researchers.

In addition to AIDS and ME/FM the Scotts also demonstrate the etiological links to other neurosystemic degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, diabetes, schizophrenia, Crohn's-colitis, etc. All are said to be "of no known cause and having no known cure". Researchers Donald and William Scott have discovered that there is a "known cause" and there may well be a cure.

The cause is a little known organism called the "mycoplasma" which has the capacity to access genetically pre-disposed cells and to destroy them by up-taking pre-formed sterols. This process is the "degeneration" which characterizes all of the diseases under study. When the cells of the endocrine system are destroyed by a sufficient concentration of mycoplasmas, the balance of the physiological balance is altered and the immune system loses its ability to defend the infected victim, and co-factors such as the human immune-deficiency virus (HIV), and those with cause pneumonia, are free to have their way, leading to full-blown AIDS.

The Pathogenic Mycoplasma

On September 7,1993 the United States Government was granted a Patent #5,242,820 for a Pathogenic Mycoplasma [Appendix One ]. On page 20 of their Patent the following patients were listed as being infected with the Mycoplasma fermentans: AIDS, Alzheimer's, Sarcoidosis, Lupus, chronic fatigue syn- drome and others [Appendix Two].

In their dramatic new research reported in this book the authors extend the above list by adding Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Supported by solid, re- producible scientific evidence, the Scott father and son team demonstrate that the pathogenic mycoplasma up-takes pre-formed cholesterol from the Glial cells which surround the degenerating motor-neurons of the ALS victim. The loss of this cholesterol prevents the motor neurons from replenishing and replacing damaged synapses. With the synapses not functioning, the messages from the cortex of the brain do not get through to the muscles and Lou Gehrig's Disease presents.

The Scotts also demonstrate that all the diseases listed in the U.S. Government Patent are indeed caused by a common factor: the Pathogenic Mycoplasma.

With the probable cause well-established,the Scotts conclude their study with a possible cure for all the neurosystemic degenerative diseases.

The 'mystery' diseases are not a mystery any more.

Drs. Greek have written 2 books on why using animals as models for humans is not the best way to conduct medical research and drug testing. During their lectures and debates, the most commonly asked question was, "Well. What will we use if we don't use animals?" What Will We Do If We Don't Experiment On Animals? Medical Research for the Twenty-first Century is the answer to that question. Drs. Greek explain briefly why one species cannot predict drug response for another and describe what research and testing methods should be used today instead of animals. They also describe where our biomedical research dollars should be spent if we are to have cures for cancer, AIDS, and Alzheimer's. This book will appeal to science-trained and general audiences, animal lovers and science readers, public policy analysts, students, patients and patient support groups, and government watchdog groups. What Will We Do If We Don't Experiment On Animals? Medical Research for the Twenty-first Century takes medical research out of the nineteenth and into the 21st century.
