As for the specifics of the Naessens therapy, as has been noted, the mixture called 714X is injected into the lymph system at the groin area. For the record, recommended daily dosages of the serum are presented at the end of the chapter in Pelton and Overholser (1994). There is a cautionary note that vitamin E and vitamin B12 should not be taken at the same time as 714X, a caution also mentioned in other references Alternative Medicine The Definitive Guide, p. 574 An Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Cancer, pp. 32, 504. 

In Alternative Medicine The Definitive Guide, a practitioner cited who used 714X and other alternative therapies is Harvey Bigelson, M.D., of Scottsdale, AZ. Additional resources are found in An Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Cancer, e.g., p. 781ff.)... 

The reference work Alternative Medicine The Definitive Guide has sections Where to Find Help and Recommended Reading at the end of each chapter, including the chapter on cancer. The reference vtoBs. An Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Cancer describes many or most of the mainstream alternative therapies. All are listed in its references. Such institutions as the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston keep a file on alternatives. Much more can be found on the Internet.

The comparative evaluation or balancing of risks and benefits of pharmaceutical products is inevitable, although there are no standard, widely accepted definitions used in medicine. Definitions and terms depend on the context in which they are used, or on the user. Patients, physicians, formularies, pharmaceutical companies, ethics committees, regulatory authorities, and other public health bodies, insurers, consumer groups, and others may have very different perspectives, e.g. the perspective of regulators and companies usually in-...

Several additional terms related to the absorption of x-radiation require definition energy of a x-ray photon is properly represented in joules but more conveniently reported in eV fluence is the sum of the energy in a unit area intensity or flux is the fluence per unit time and the exposure is a measure of the number of ions produced in a mass of gas. The unit of exposure in medicine is the Rn ntgen, R, defined as the quantity of radiation required to produce 2.58 x C/kg of air. The absorbed dose for a tissue is a measure of energy dissipated per unit mass. The measure of absorbed dose most... 

For use in medicine, opium is dried, powdered and standardised to a definite content of morphine, which the British Pharmacopoeia 1932 places at 10 per cent, (limits 9-5 and 10-5), and the United States Pharma-copceia (XIII) at not less than 10 or more than 10-5 per cent. 

Medicinal chemistry, like truth, defies ready definition. The iracticing organic chemist as a rule knows operationally what is, ir more often what is not, medicinal chemistry. He would be 1,-ird pressed, however, to set down on paper a rigorous defini-ion of that discipline.

The overall objective of clinical trials is to establish a drug therapy that is safe and effective in humans, to the extent that the risk-benefit relationship is acceptable. The ICH process has developed an internationally accepted definition of a clinical trial as Any investigation in human subjects intended to discover or verify the clinical, pharmacological and/or other pharmacodynamic effects of one or more investigational medicinal product(s), and/or to identify any adverse reactions to one or more investigational medicinal product(s) and/or to study absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of one or more investigational medicinal product(s) with the object of ascertaining its (their) safety and/or efficacy. ... 

The pharmacophore concept has now been widely accepted and used in the medicinal chemistry community as well as the field of computational molecular modeling. Two closely related definitions of pharmacophore have been employed by both the medicinal chemist and molecular modelers, and the root of this concept can be traced back to more than hundred years ago. 

It can be seen that these definitions are derived from experimental observation and are no more than classifications based on a set of properties shared by a group of substances. They are scientifically inadequate for the interpretation of results, which requires a definition based on concepts. Historically, the attempt to provide a model rather than a classification comes in the form of a search for imderlying universal principles. It seems that the alchemists recognized vague principles of acidity and alkalinity, and in the 17th century the iatrochemists made these the basis of chemical medicine. Disease was attributed to a predominance of one or other of these principles (Pattison Muir, 1883).

There is a tendency to think of medicinal chemistry as primarily a logical exercise. A specific and trivial example would be the much maligned QSAR exploration of methyl, ethyl, butyl, futile. This author believes that equating medicinal chemistry with QSAR is incorrect. There is a definite place for what might for want of a better term be called high-order pattern recognition. A specific example is the time tested... 

Sepsis is a continuum of physiologic stages characterized by infection, systemic inflammation, and hypoperfusion with widespread tissue injury.1 The American College of Chest Physicians and the Society of Critical Care Medicine developed definitions to utilize for sepsis (Table 79—l).2 They provide physiologic parameters categorizing patients as having bacteremia, infection, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), sepsis, severe sepsis, septic shock, or multiple-organ-dysfunction syndrome (MODS).2 Standardized definitions have been developed for infections in critically ill patients.3...
