     executed that it could never be published today, he maintains.
     Nevertheless, the damage was done. The ACS's blacklisting of hydrazine 
sulfate
     caused Gold's funding to dry up and scared away other researchers from 
following
     up on his early papers.
     But Gold refused to give up. In 1975, he did a study of the drug's 
effects on
     eighty-four advanced cancer patients. A total of 70 percent of them 
experienced
     weight gain (or the cessation of weight loss) and reduced pain. Only 17 
percent
     showed tumor improvements. Meanwhile, Russian scientists at Leningrad's 
Petrov
     Research Institute were getting impressive results. In one study of 
forty-eight
     terminal cancer patients treated with hydrazine sulfate, 35 percent had 
tumor
     stabilization or regression and 59 percent showed "subjective response" 
(ability to
     function normally, complete disappearance or marked reduction of pain, 
and so
     forth).
     As a result of these and other favorable studies, the American Cancer 
Society
     announced in 1979 that it was removing hydrazine sulfate from its 
official blacklist.
     Only four other "unproven methods" that were once stigmatized on the ACS 
list as
     "quackery" have been removed from it. However, the ACS included 
ydrazine
     sulfate in the 1979 edition of the Unproven Methods list, and that 
edition continued
     to be circulated until 1982. Hydrazine sulfate was finally removed from 
the list the
     next time the list was revised, in July 1982.
     Tim Hansen, now in his early twenties, of Minneapolis, Kansas, is one 
person
     grateful for the existence of hydrazine sulfate therapy. In August 1984, 
when he was
     eleven years old, Tim was diagnosed with three inoperable malignant 
tumors that
     were growing quickly in his brain. He was placed on radiation therapy, 
but his health
     steadily deteriorated until, by early 1985, his weight had dropped to 
fifty-five
     pounds. "The radiation harmed his mental functioning, and in January 
1985 the
     surgeon told me that Tim had one week to live," says Gloria Hansen, 
Tim's mother. 
     In February, after reading a short item about hydrazine sulfate in Mc 
Call's, Gloria
     and her husband, Ray, got in touch with Dr. Gold, and Tim was put on 
hydrazine
     sulfate therapy by his physicians in Kansas. By August, his weight was 
up to
     seventy-five pounds. By early 1987, two of Tim's tumors had completely 
vanished.
     In January 1991, a computerized axial tomograph (CAT scan) revealed 
further
     shrinkage of the remaining tumor, located in the base of the brain. Dr. 
Gold plans to
     keep Tim on the hydrazine sulfate protocol until the tumor is completely 
gone. Tim
     graduated from high school in 1990 and is now studying electronics at a 
trade
     school, getting A's and B's.
     Dr. Gold first stumbled upon hydrazine sulfate's anticancer properties 
during his
     methodical quest for a specific type of therapy. Cancer has two 
rincipal
     devastating effects on the body. One is the invasion of the tumor into 
the vital
     organs, with the destruction of the organs' functions the most common 
cause of
     cancer death in the public's mind. In reality, however, this accounts 
for only about
     23 percent of the country's half-million annual cancer deaths.
     The other devastating effect of cancer is cachexia, the terrible wasting 
away of the
     body, with its attendant weight loss and debilitation. In cancer, as in 
AIDS, patients
     succumb to the accompanying illnesses, which they would otherwise 
survive if not
     for the wasting syndrome.
     "In a sense, nobody ever dies of cancer," notes Dr. Harold Dvorak, chief 
of
     pathology at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. "They die of something
     else pneumonia, failure of one or another organs. Cachexia accelerates 
that
     process of infection and the building-up of metabolic poisons. It causes 
death a lot
     faster than the tumor would, were it not for the cachexia."
     Halting the wasting syndrome instead of directly attacking the cancer 
cells with
