Imagine curing cancer and getting nothing but persecution for your efforts. It apparently happened. From Mary Beth Pfeiffer and Mike Capuzzo at rescue.substack.com:
Dr. Pierre Kory unearthed the story of the world-famous chemist who endured 40 years of persecution and multiple murder attempts to stop him and his radiation-free cancer cure forever.

At two months old, baby Judy McWhorter’s liver was 80 to 85% ravaged by cancer. She had radiation and surgery and was given three weeks to live. At 17 months, following Dr. Koch’s low-cost, noninvasive treatment, a completely healthy Judy wowed an American Cancer Society conference of oncologists who had no explanation for her cure, telling the Fort Worth Star-Telegram (above, Oct. 12, 1949) she must have “cured herself.”
President Richard Nixon launched the War on Cancer in 1971 with the promise of relegating malignancies to the annals of plague and smallpox. We all know the effort largely failed. But what if—trillions of dollars and millions of deaths later—we learned that we had a hugely promising treatment decades before?
The story of physician-scientist William Frederick Koch, PhD MD, suggests that organized medicine, government, and pharmaceutical makers want anything but a cure for the second leading cause of death in America.
Koch, hailed as the “modern Pasteur” and “the world’s greatest living chemist” by his peers, spent decades fighting those entities to bring his cancer research and promising cures to the world, dying in thoroughly unwarranted derision at eighty-two years old in 1967.
We had never heard of Koch before a doctor with a similar profile in medical daring, Pierre Kory, wrote about him in his Substack. During the pandemic, Kory, who is a colleague and friend, championed a safe, inexpensive drug called ivermectin and challenged covid vaccination, censorship, and policy. He, too, was vilified by media, medicine, and government. It mattered not that each man’s work—many decades apart—saved lives and could have saved many more.
Kory is on a mission we share: To call out the systematic suppression of life-saving medicines that cost little, are less toxic than common drugs, and often work better. Koch’s early twentieth-century work on his oxidative therapies—most famously Glyoxylide—is possibly one of the earliest miscast medical cures. Decades later, Dr. Stanley Jacob’s work on game-changing dimethyl sulfoxide, or DMSO, which Pfeiffer covered in two articles, would be another.
