I don't know how many of you know Steve Dunn's CancerGuide. I got acquainted with Steve Dunn in 1994 at a cancer related mailing list (email based) discussion group. We became friends and 1996 Steve asked if he could use my text about Coley's toxins and fever therapy in his CancerGuide.org, and included it there after I gave my permission. Steve had been diagnosed with widespread terminal kidney cancer in 1989. Unwilling to give up he started to look for information and eventually found a phase II clinical trial of then experimental high dose Interleukin-2 (IL-2) immunotherapy. He recovered fully, regained his health and was free of cancer, when he sadly died August 19, 2005 from complications of bacterial meningitis. Even after he was cured from kidney cancer, Steve continued to gather information from all types of cancer and helped to distribute that information to other cancer patients. He received a grant which enabled him to concentrate full time to the work with CancerGuide. Steve's CancerGuide is at CancerGuide <http://cancerguide.org/essiac.html> I don't know if anyone is going to continue Steve's work. If not, there is of course a danger, that at some point a considerable amount of information in CancerGuide may become obsolete, but IMHO, that time hasn't come yet.

Steve Dunn's CancerGuide was once mentioned in the Scientific American, and it also got good reviews from some magazines, which were specialized in World Wide Web and often reviewed web sites.
