With our deepest condolences we mourn the loss from prostate cancer, June 2, 2011 at 85 years of age, of one of Care To Live’s fiercest warriors during our battle for Provenge’s approval.  We never did, nor could we, thank him enough for all his help. Sometimes with death there is a revisiting of the person, and we welcome this opportunity to bring you Charles A. Reinwald the man, and his unique and incredible cancer foundation, with its focus on healing cancer, both medically and holistically.

A link to his website has always been right up there, on the top of our home page. Please add it to your ‘to do’ list. If you are a cancer patient, the Cancer Cure Coalition should be your first line of defense.

Charles A Reinwald Biography

http://www.cancercurecoalition.org/board.html

Charles became a member of Care To Live early on. He was a great advocate of strengthening the immune system through diet and lifestyle changes, as well as medicine. Throughout the years Charles offered us advice, and support. He was fighting many wars, on many cancer fronts, but was never too tired to write one more letter or one more article, or to offer words of encouragement in our darkest hours, when we needed them most.

Charles was a rarity today. A true patient advocate, not beholden to any corporate or financial conflicts of interests.  He was not an investor in Dendreon which frustrated the likes of those reporters whose deviant agendas were to erroneously portray Provenge as ineffectual, such as Matthew Herper of Forbes Magazine.

A brilliant man, he strove to understand health and wellness better, utiliizing his vast talents to educate and share what he learned with others. That is what made him truly stand out from the pack.

Care to Live literally stood shoulder to shoulder with Charles at our Rockville, Maryland FDA protest on September 18, 2007. He was one of our keynote speakers.

Charles A. Reinwald lives on in the families who will receive Provenge, those patient advocate and those with cancer whose lives he touched directly, his wife, his children, several of whom attended our Provenge 10 city rally in Cleveland in 2008, his grandchildren, and through his wonderful Cancer Cure Coalition Foundation.

Cancer Cure Coalition Proposes Major Changes at the FDA

Thu Feb 21, 2008 7:45am EST

PALMS BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Feb. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Flawed policies and bad

decisions at the FDA have contributed to an escalation of the cost of clinical

trials which now take an average of one billion dollars and require 10 years

for approval. This has delayed and even prevented the availability of many Continue Reading RIP Charles A. Reinwald — Cancer Cure Coalition Founder »

Although the Court of Appeals decision did not go our way in the case of CTL vs. FDA, whereby we are seeking documents Richard Pazdur declared he shredded and deleted, the Court was kind enough to inform us that our initial request was not specific enough. Therefore Care To Live has filed a new Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, which is on its way to the FDA’s Division of Freedom of Information as I post this.

CTL is asking for all documents and e-mails, among other things, sent to and from Richard Pazdur during the period October 1, 2006 through October 1, 2007, inclusive. CTL is quite specific this time in detailing exactly what we are asking them to search for.

The new FOIA request can be seen here:

DC (Deep Capture) crosses the Country from CA to NY in a land made title wave of corruption and collusion. No collusion of billionaires has ever perpetrated so much evil on the Citizens of the Country. They do it with a smile. Will anyone stop them?

What can you say about a few rich and powerful people who want to stop a company from fighting cancer? How does one get his or her head around such an idea? Cancer touches all of our lives.

When growing up, didn’t we all detest playing with cheaters? They didn’t mind breaking the rules and yet they were the first to search for rules when a play did not go their way. They were repugnant, repulsive people. They had to have things go their way, all the time.

And then these despicable people grew up. They brought their cheatful ways along with them, but then they raised the stakes. They included the almighty dollar. It wasn’t enough for them to win once in a while, it was important to win all the time because money motivated them to no end. They could care less if their dear mother or grandmother died, if it meant they made another buck. That is how grotesque these people are.

Lust is an insatiable condition. It can never be satisfied. The folks we speak of can’t get enough of the money they lust for. They need to get help. It is an addiction that needs to be treated. And once they resort to cheating and gaming the system, they need to go to jail, too.

These people and the darkness that shrouds them which threatens the very core of our being, is discussed in the Dendreon Story as presented by world class journalist, Mark Mitchell. Mark connects the dots and presents the case against these aforementioned heartless cheats who have really lost their way. Go to www.DeepCapture.com and read this amazing 15 Chapter story of how these people wanted to stop medical advancements against cancer, just so they could make a buck or win another game. Referees and rule enforcers couldn’t blow their whistles quick enough, or loud enough, to stop them in their tracks. Do we have anyone out there who can stop them and bring them to justice?

We are hot on the trail of the miscreants that derailed Provenge, a safe and effective immunotherapy for prostate cancer, condemning 30,000 American men to death without hope, in order to reap windfall profits.

Ed Silverman of Pharmalot reports on the shenanigans. (click link)

They may have taken down the links but we have the Proquest Investments 2007 Scientific Advisory Committee on our CareToLive research page showing the connections to Howard Scher and Milken’s Prostate Cancer Foundation that claims they want faster cures, yet remained mum on the Provenge Debacle. 3 Congressment are now calling for a Congressional hearing.

See our prior blog on Michael Milken’s Prostate Cancer Foundation and The Proquest Investment Fund / Howard Scher /FDA Unholy Alliance.(click link)

CareToLive is asking the public to help get to the bottom of the Provenge debacle by joining Congressmen Mike Michaud of Maine, Dan Burton of Indiana, and Tim Ryan of Ohio, who are calling for a congressional hearing into what happened. Contact your elected officials to ask for a congressional hearing, visiting the CareToLive website, dig our blogs, and join in the battle.

30,000 American men will die each year (not to mention the rest of the world) without this safe and effective immunotherapy. 1 in 6 men will get prostate cancer int heir lifetime. The FDA’s delay of Provenge was unprecedented in a terminal disease with an overwhelmingly positive panel that showed survival advantages, where no other options exist. Only one treatment for prostate cancer has been approved in 42 years. Send a clear message to Congress, the dysfunctional FDA, Wall Street, and the Chemo Cartel that we want this nontoxic immunotherapy approved NOW! More than 10 years of trials have shown it increases survival. Some men are alive as long as 6 years.
