The Moss Report

This Moss Report is written by Ralph W. Moss, PhD, and is produced and distributed by Cancer Communications, Inc. (CCI) of Lemont, PA. It is compiled as a reference source, and includes information on individual physicians and treatments. It does not contain sufficient information, however, with which to verify physicians’ credentials or their suitability for your particular condition. Reasonable efforts are made to keep the information in this report timely and accurate. However, because this information is compiled from numerous and varied sources there may be errors or delays in the reporting.

Neither Ralph Moss nor his CCI colleagues make representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the information they present. This includes no implied warranties of merchantability and fitness of this information for any particular purpose. The material included in this report is for informational purposes only. Inclusion of a physician or other resource is not, and does not, imply a referral, endorsement or recommendation. Nor does the omission of any individual or product indicate disapproval.  For over 30years, it has been my mission to educate and empower cancer patients, including those with cholangiocarcinoma (CCC). I am honored to now be part of your healing journey. Over the years, my thinking about cancer has evolved considerably. Before we begin our exploration of treatment alternatives, therefore, I would like to share with you some of my own core beliefs about your illness and the recovery process.

First, I firmly believe that there are scientifically valid cancer treatments that exist outside conventional Western medicine. These treatments offer the hope of real and substantial  benefit to you, and in this report I will discuss the ones that I believe are most relevant to your situation. Keep in mind that some alternative treatments for cancers of many kinds are fully accepted and routinely used in countries other than your own. Others are new treatments that your doctor may never have heard of. Some treatments are so embroiled  in controversy that it is difficult to get objective information about their effectiveness. Yet others appear worthless or dangerous. My goal is to help you formulate a winning plan for yourself and to give you a compass with which to evaluate the many conflicting treatment claims in the field of cancer. Let my knowledge, objectivity, and experience be your guide.

Second, I believe that reversing CCC and remaining well is more than just a physical process. Of course, medical treatments, such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, all have their place in the treatment of this disease, and you need scientific information to make rational decisions about such therapies. As one long-term survivor of cancer put it, “Returning to a state of health is not just about having treatment; it means dealing with the mental, emotional and the spiritual issues that tend to manifest physically. It means asking, Am I on the path that I want to be on?”

This report is dedicated to helping you to repair the breach that CCC has created in your life. To do so, you need to seek emotional healing as well. The attention you give these less tangible areas can speed healing and enhance the effectiveness of your physical treatments. But it can also serve as a profound source of strength, peace, and inspiration for you. What we call body, mind, and spirit are interwoven strands that form the whole person. Approach your healing holistically
