Dr. Day Responds to her Critics' Vicious Rumors

 

Pharmacologist Ray Cress of Loma Linda University

Posted March, 2002

 

Good News! Retraction Letter Received! 6/11/02

 

Vicious rumors have been circulating. Apparenty there has been a

letter sent to many people in leadership positions, warning them not

to have me speak to their group. The letter is purportedly sent out

on Loma Linda University Medical School letterhead and is meant to

discredit my message.

 

The essence of the letter is that " there was NO breast biopsy

showing malignancy in Lorraine Day, M.D. done at Loma Linda

University Medical Center. "

 

By the way, NO ONE from Loma Linda University called me to ask any

questions and obviously they didn't even try to search through their

hospital computer data base or they would have found all the

information.

 

For this reason I am posting the following:

 

1) My Loma Linda University Medical Biopsy Report at the time I had

my small, original tumor biopsied, October 26, 1993. By the time of

biopsy, my tumor had been present for almost a year but it was so

tiny and in such a location that it had not been worrisome to me.

 

The Diagnosis, as you can read from the report, is: INFILTRATING

DUCTAL CARCINOMA, with tumor extending to the surgical margins of

the biopsy. (Pathologist, M.R. Akin, M.D.) That means the cancer had

already extended into the surrounding tissue, in other words they

were not able to remove all of the cancer. The only portion of the

Report that is blacked out is my hospital number, so I can retain at

least a little privacy.

 

2) Pictures of my pathology slides, showing that I have a number of

the slides of the original biopsy from Loma Linda Pathology

Department in my possession. A pathologist will recognize that these

are the slides that are placed under the microscopic in order to

make the diagnosis.

 

You will see

a) my name,

 

b) the location of the biopsy - " Left Chest " , and

 

c) the initials LLU Pathology (Loma Linda University Pathology

Department) printed on the label at the end of the slide.

 

 

After I got well, I went to the Department of Pathology at Loma

Linda University and spoke with Dr. Saukel, Chief of Anatomic

Pathology, and asked for some of my actual pathology slides. I was

impressed to do this so I would have absolute proof of my diagnosis.

Somehow I was concerned that at some future time my pathology slides

might " disappear " or my hospital records and Pathology Report

might " disappear " and there would be those who would try to

discredit me and claim that I never had cancer in the first place.

 

Obviously this is happening now!

 

In addition, at the time I got the pathology slides, Dr. Saukel

reviewed them in my presence and AGAIN CONFIRMED that I, indeed, had

had INFILTRATING DUCTAL CARCINOMA OF THE BREAST.

 

But with these pathology slides, I have the FULL PROOF. NO ONE can

discredit this!

 

3) My Scripps Memorial Hospital Biopsy Report, on November 4, 1993

showing - " Microscopic Residual tumor at previous bx (biopsy) site. "

with a Diagnosis of: INFILTRATING DUCTAL CARCINOMA. (Pathologist, P.

Price) This biopsy also showed that the surgeon at Scripps Memorial

Hospital was also not able to remove all of the cancer. Cancerous

tissue was still present at the margins, even after the surgery.

 

4) A portion of my History and Physical examination at Scripps

Memorial Hospital, La Jolla (San Diego), California which was done

at the time of my biopsy there. November 4, 1993.

 

I would much prefer not to place my personal medical reports on my

web site for all the world to see, but when vicious rumors are

trying to discredit GOD'S NATURAL HEALTH PLAN, then the best way to

eliminate darkness is to admit light.

 

" You shall know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall make you free. "

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the Actual Letter!

Posted May, 2002

 

In April, 2002, I was able to obtain a copy of the letter referred

to above. A friend picked it up from a table of free religious

literature at a Seventh-Day Adventist church. A large stack of

copies of this libelous letter was available for all the members to

take. The letter was written by Ray Cress, Ph.D., a pharmacologist

at Loma Linda University. The letter contains sixteen lies or half-

truths. This letter is posted, plus my response to it.

 

On May 17, 2002, I made a visit to pharmacologist Ray Cress to

discuss his defamatory letter, per the Biblical instructions we are

given in Matthew 18:15-17:

 

" If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just

between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your

brother over.

 

" But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that

every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three

witnesses.

 

" If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he

refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan

or a tax collector. "

 

I took a " witness " with me and at that time, I presented Ray Cress

with my letter refuting all of his defamatory and libelous

accusations. Also posted is my follow-up letter to him after our May

17, 2002, meeting.

 

Near the end of April, 2002, I received a letter from DeWitt

Williams, Director of Health Ministries of the North American

Division of Seventh-Day Adventists. Obviously, he had received

inquiries from Adventists members who had seen the information on my

web site regarding the defamatory letter written on Loma Linda

University stationery and my documentation proving that I had been

surgically biopsied both at Loma Linda University Medical Center AND

at Scripps Hospital in La Jolla, CA, with a diagnosis of cancer from

both institutions.

 

DeWitt Williams letter to me and my response to him are posted.

 

This is not the first time that DeWitt Williams and the Seventh-Day

Adventist denomination have come against me. In 1991 and 1992, many

SDA churches were inviting me to speak on the AIDS issue. Because I

was calling for routine testing for the AIDS virus, in the same

manner that a doctor is allowed to test for any other disease, and I

was calling for responsible behavior by those infected with AIDS,

the very powerful contingent of homosexuals in the Adventist church

were enraged. They apparently demanded that the church " do

something " to stop me, " do something " to destroy my credibiity!

 

A " Kangaroo Court " tribunal was set up on the Loma Linda University

campus and I was summoned by letter to appear. I was not a member of

their organization and they had no authority over me, so I was going

to ignore their " summons. " However, because my mother was a member

of the denomination and she asked me to go, I went. And she

accompanied me.

 

I refer to this as a " tribunal " because in a tribunal the accused is

not allowed to know the charges against her, nor is she allowed to

know who her accusers are, and furthermore, the tribunal members

generally serve as both jury and judge, so fairness is not the goal.

 

The meeting occurred in the Loma Linda University Library conference

room with about 20 people present around a large table. Because I

was unfamiliar with these people, I do not remember everyone who was

present, but these are some of the " tribunal " members:

 

1) Bob Dale, Assistant to the President of the North American

Division of Seventh-Day Adventists, was in charge of the meeting.

2) DeWitt Williams, also present, appeared to be the one who had set

up the meeting.

3) Alisa Fletcher

4) Dr. Fritz Guy, former President of LaSierra University.

5) Dr. Harvey Elder, Department of Infectious Diseases, Loma Linda

University Veterans Hospital, with a large practice of AIDS

patients, who was flanked on either one or both sides by

6) Angry homosexuals

 

I brought with me two large boxes filled with the medical journal

articles I had used as reference material to write my book, AIDS:

What the Government Isn't Telling You, the book that was the subject

of this " tribunal. "

 

When everyone was seated around the table, Bob Dale asked me to tell

the group about my book. Because I did not really understand why

this meeting was even necessary, I asked first if there were any

specific questions about my book, so I could address those. But no

one responded. So I proceeded to tell them, in general, the content

of my book and I showed the pertinent medical journal articles I

used to support my assertions.

 

When I was finished, I again asked if anyone had any questions.

There were none. (I want to stress the fact that no one had any

questions because that is pertinent to what happened later.) So I

packed up my boxes of medical journal articles and my mother and I

went home.

 

Several months later I received in the mail from a friend,

this " Book Review " of my book, AIDS: What the Government Isn't

Telling You. The " Book Review " which was a thinly veiled " hit "

letter, apparently was sent out to SDA ministers and others all over

the country.

 

You will notice:

 

1) The " Book Review " is unsigned as the authors were too cowardly to

attach their names to this defamatory document.

 

2) Members of the Committee who summoned me to the meeting which was

the basis for this letter, were not named.

 

3) The " Book Review " Committee quoted only ONE medical journal

article to support their views in their attempt to refute the more

than SEVENTY medical journal articles I referenced in my book.

 

4) The " Book Review " focuses on political correctness rather than on

TRUTH, as it bemoans " increased fear " , " increasing

hysteria " , " appeals to people's natural fears of death " , and " worst

suspicions of government. " The writers depend on their " feelings "

and their own " opinions " rather than on factual documentation and

TRUTH.

 

5) The ONLY specific item in my book that they address is my

discussion of the huge amounts of hazardous blood that trauma

surgeons encounter in every major surgical procedure. I DID stand

in " killer blood up to my ankles " , even up to my knees, day after

day and week after week. I DID NOT say that the entire operating

room was ankle-deep in blood, only that I had blood up to my ankles.

 

It is routine during a major trauma surgical procedure for blood to

pour out of the patient onto the surgeon's feet and ankles and

splash up to our knees, that's why, when the AIDS epidemic began,

trauma surgeons began wearing knee-high protective boots in the

operating room. Blood often soaks through the surgeon's gown down to

his or her underwear, and blood splatters all over his or her face,

that's why protective plastic face shields are worn.

 

As far as I know, there was only one physician on this Kangaroo

court committee, Dr. Harvey Elder, who was from the infectious

disease department of the Loma Linda Veterans Hospital. Infectious

disease doctors are not surgeons and rarely, if ever, go into an

operating room and virtually never get any blood on them. In fact,

they have NO idea what goes on in an operating room.

 

It is entirely possible, even probable, that Dr. Harvey Elder wrote

this " Book Review " for the committee.

 

However, only a surgeon would know and understand what goes on in an

operating room, and only a trauma surgeon would fully understand

what happens during trauma surgical procedures, such as patients who

have been shot multiple times with a 357 Magnum or a machine gun, or

patients who have been stabbed up to 25 or 30 times in various parts

of their body. These patients bleed profusely. Blood is everywhere!

These were the patients I routinely operated on.

 

The largest amount of blood I have ever transfused into one patient

was 225 units (pints). This was a young man with multiple gunshot

wounds. The human body only contains about 8 units, so the blood

poured out all over us surgeons as fast as we " poured " it in.

Finally, we got his bleeding stopped after giving him 225 units, and

he survived.

 

Dr. Harvey Elder would not understand this at all.

 

The accusatory, bogus, explanation in this " Book Review " regarding

the amount of blood covering the entire operating room floor would

be considered a joke by any trauma surgeon. It would show that the

writers of the " Book Review " had no understanding of operating room

procedures at all.

 

In addition, remember that NO ONE on the committee asked me to

explain that particular passage in my book. If they really were

confused about my statement, or if they really were interested in

knowing truth, they would have questioned me about it during the

committee meeting. I would have been more than willing to answer and

explain.

 

But no one asked. I presume no one asked, because no one wanted to

know the facts, and certainly no one wanted to give me a chance to

explain. The " Book Review " letter was going to be mailed regardless

of what I said, so why would they want to know the truth? Why would

they want to give me an opportunity to explain?

 

And now, a decade later, the same group is at it again!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good News! Retraction Letter Received!

 

 

Truth has triumphed! Dr. Ray Cress, the Loma Linda pharmacologist

who wrote the defamatory and libelous letter has written a letter of

apology and retraction.

 

I want to publicly thank Dr. Cress for setting the record straight.

 

See the response from Elder Tom Mostert regarding circulation of Dr.

Cress' retration letter to all those who received the first letter.
