History Fernando Chacon Mejias of Cordoba, Spain, is the founder of the Chacon Cancer Society and reports to be working to provide solutions to the problems of cancer, rheumatoid arthropathies, non-bacterial rheumatic fever, Parkinson's disease, and an extensive range of diseases of unknown etiology. The third basic form of life is claimed to be living enzymes which may either combine with genes to form cancer, or exist free to cause chronic non-malignant disease such as arthritis. Many strains of bacteria express antigens that cross react with patients' antibodies to these enzymes. The basis for the test, if it works at all, is most likely a reflection of acute phase reactants such as macroglobulin. These sorts of tests were quite popular at the turn of the century, before the blossoming of modern biochemistry.
Treatments based on such a shaky foundation are most unlikely to be of any value.
This particular proposal has in common with many remedies the linking of a testing procedure to a treatment, the use of 'natural' procedures, and the prospect of a panacea applicable for all types of cancer and chronic non-malignant disease.
