But when dis-ease occurs these microbes become aggressive, giving rise to a host of diseases, some of which are cancerous, and others that are inflammatory, degenerative, or simply transitory. Another reason for physicians to doubt that a single type of germ could cause such a variety of pathologic effects.
Bacteria are ubiquitous and so are Russell bodies. And if Russell bodies prove to be bacteria, the reason for this becomes obvious.
The Russell body and the origin of cancer
In 1981 King and Eisenberg's article on "Russell's fuchsin body: 'The characteristic organism of cancer' " appeared in the American Journal of Dermatopathology. They reconfirmed that "Russell bodies have now been shown to be immunoglobulins." They remarked that Russell was not the first to describe them; and that similar bodies were reported by Cornil and Alvarez in rhinoscleroma five years earlier in a French journal in 1885. Declaring it ironic that these "bodies should bear the name of a man who so thoroughly misunderstood them", the authors ended by stating: "Hence, when the term Russell body is used today, one should be aware that the eponym is as inaccurate as was Russell's perception of their significance."
Unlike King and Eisenberg, I believe Russell was right on the mark. There is a parasite in cancer. It has been studied and reported by various scientists throughout the world for many decades, and a wealth of scientific information on the cancer microbe is available in medical libraries. For those with Internet capability, the words "cancer microbe" typed into Google.com will give instant access to a treasure trove of information on the subject.
There is no secret to cancer. In my view, the cause is staring us right in the face in the form of the Russell body. William Russell understood very well in the nineteenth century what medical science in the twenty-first century has yet to discover.
