The Reviews are In

I just received an updated version of the Moss Report on Prostate Cancer*. Inside were a couple of positive mentions of the doctor I'm seeing in Germany, Dr. Thaller:

Another German practitioner with a strong interest in immunotherapy is Dr. Arno Thaller, whose practice in Markt Berolzheim, near Nuremberg, uses immunotherapies based primarily on Newcastle disease vaccine. On the whole, I have a positive impression of Dr. Thaller. He clearly understands the latest developments in immunotherapy, but also has a good grasp of historical treatments of interest (of which Coley's toxins and Newcastle disease virus vaccine are prime examples – see later in this report). The biggest problem is that if you call the clinic you are very likely to get someone who does not speak English. That is what sometimes happens when you are dealing with a small, rural clinic like this one.

and later in the report:

Arno Thaller is a medical doctor in a small private practice in Markt Berolzheim, Germany (near Nuremberg). He has a web site at www.praxis-thaller.de There you can find a very intelligent essay that he has written on the immunotherapy of cancer. What distinguishes Dr. Thaller is his aggressive use of Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) vaccine, as well as other immunotherapeutic procedures. He has had experience in treating even advanced cases of brain cancer. From my limited experience, he seems able to stabilize some such cases, although it is too early to say what the long-term effects can be. Dr. Thaller strikes me as caring and humane, with a good reputation among other German doctors. I continue to watch the evolution of his program with great interest.
