Morris Fishbein also attacked Dr. Max Gerson, famous for the 'Gerson Therapy' after he testified in Congress in 1946 with case histories of his successful alternative work in curing cancer. First, Fishbein attacked the hospital director Dr. Gerson worked under in NYC's Gotham Hospital, on the grounds he was not an M.D. - interesting criticism coming from a past circus acrobat who also lacked an M.D. degree. Compared to (the hospital director) Miley's testimony, Gerson’s was innocent, concentrating on the histories of the patients he brought with him and on the likely mechanisms whereby his diet caused tumor regression and healing. Only under pressure from Senator Pepper did Gerson state that about 30% of those he treated showed a favorable response (U.S. Congress, 1946, 115). Nonetheless, JAMA devoted two pages to undermining Gerson’s integrity (JAMA, 1946). Showing no restraint where Gerson was concerned, Fishbein, contrary to fact, alleged that successes with the Gerson-Sauerbruch-Hermannsdorfer diet “were apparently not susceptible of duplication by most other observers. ” He also falsely claimed that Gerson had several times refused to supply the AMA with details of the diet.

The cases that Dr. Gerson presented at the hearing were so compelling that renowned ABC news broadcaster Raymond Gram Swing, present at the testimony, went on his national radio broadcast that night and announced to the entire nation that a cure for cancer had been discovered. The public response to this broadcast was staggering as people called into ABC to ask about this hopeful treatment. Two weeks later Raymond was fired after more than 30 years of employment with ABC. [It was this broadcast that caused him to be fired soon afterward. Tobacco was both a major AMA and national radio sponsor. They didn't like the correlation: http://raleightime.com/gerson-library/video/HYHTW-swing-radio.mp4.
Unfortunately the dark forces of medicine were also listening and from that point on Dr. Gerson became a marked and censured man and the Pepper-Neely Anticancer Bill (document # 8947 of the United States archives - later removed from the records archives!) was defeated by four senators who were medical doctors.
Over the next 13 years, Dr. Gerson would lose his membership privileges to the New York State Medical Society, be prohibited from publishing his work in peer-reviewed medical journals and, ultimately, murdered by a likely medical and pharmaceutical industry pawn (or mole!) more interested in preserving vast pharmaceutical profits than curing a dying and suffering humanity.
He was tested positive for arsenic poisoning right before his death in 1959. (This was the second time he was poisoned with arsenic. The first time was just a few years earlier, probably by the same secretary who also toyed with the editing of his monumental 'Cancer Therapy' manuscript, and eventually disappeared with the only extant copy. Dr. Gerson later committed himself to recreating it, and a revision was finally published in 1958.

Incidentally, his alternative rehab clinic where his death was declared, was in Nanuet, New York, in Rockland County, just a mile or two down the road from the dark headquarters of big, bad Pfizer. (The large campus was then the equally notorious Lederle Labs).
