Cancer and Ruby
Mon 28 Apr 2014, 7:46 am
“My time is running out. I am breathing toward my last breath. I was set up and tried the minute I walked down that ramp.” Jack Ruby to reporters, March 31, 1965
-----------------------------------------------
February 15, 1944: Ruby is moved to the 18th AAF Technical Training Detachment, Republic Aviation Corps, Farmingdale, on Long Island, New York.(1) (Warren Commission Report: bio of Jack Ruby)
March, 1964: Ruby's trial ends in a guilty verdict.
April, 1964: CIA Psychiatrist, Dr Jolyon West, treats Ruby with hypnosis and drugs. (2) (reported by the NYT, April, 1964)
October 1966: The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reverses Ruby's conviction on the grounds of improper admission of testimony and the necessity of a change of venue. Arrangements are made for a new trial in February, in Wichita Falls.
December 9, 1966: Ruby is admitted to Parkland Hospital in Dallas, apparently suffering from pneumonia. Testing quickly reveals lung cancer.
January 3, 1967: Ruby dies in hospital of a blood clot in the lungs which has traveled from his leg. (3)
(1) As pointed out by Mike Sylwester, Republic Aviation at the time Ruby was there, was developing the F-12, a plane ordered by G-2 [intelligence] for use as a photographic mapping plane. (Lancer website) In other words, it was a plane designed for the same purpose as the U2.
(2) Dr West is widely reported to have been involved in giving testimony during the murder trial as a court appointed psychiatrist. This was not the case. His involvement, according to Earl Ruby's lawyer, Alan Adelson, came after the murder trial. His appearance in court was actually at the will contest hearings. (HSCA testimony of Earl Ruby). West's report, in which he recommended that Ruby be placed immediately in psychiatric care, would if accepted, impact Ruby's ability to determine the handling of his own affairs and short-circuit any decision on a retrial.
(3) The number one cause of lung cancer is cigarette smoking, representing 85 to 90 percent of all cases. Other causes include exposure to radon, asbestos, nickel, chloromethyl ether, chromium, beryllium and arsenic (a by-product of copper), as well as exposure to passive smoke or "second-hand" smoke. A person is "at risk" of developing lung cancer if they: smoke; are over the age of 50; work in industries where substances such as asbestos, nickel, chloromethyl ether, chromium, beryllium or arsenic are used; have or have had a lung disease; have a family history of lung cancer; are former smokers; have been exposed to second-hand smoke over many years or; have been exposed to radon. (Tenet Health Care Corporation Library) As a non-smoker, Ruby’s only risk factors would, on the surface, appear to be his age, and long-term exposure to second-hand smoke. In jail, Ruby reported to one of his psychiatrists, Dr Manfred Guttmacher, that he had been to see Dr Ulevich on November 11, 1963 due to a bronchial cough. Dr Ulevitch took x-rays, but Ruby had been too busy to get the results. He believed he had "walking pneumonia". (DPD JFK files) Dr Walter Bromberg stated in his report that Ruby had felt he suffered pneumonia on and off for a number of years. (DPD JFK files) It was a diagnosis of pneumonia, as we have seen, which resulted in Ruby being sent to Parkland Hospital. "Walking pneumonia" is caused by mycoplasma – the smallest free-living organism known to man. One of the characteristics of these tiny organisms is their ability to completely mimic or copy the protein of the host cell which can cause the immune system to attack the body’s own cells, an event that happens in all auto-immune diseases. First isolated in humans in 1932, it was not until the 1950s that one strain was identified as the cause of atypical ("walking") pneumonia. (Web Article: Mycoplasmas - Stealth Pathogens). Before death, Ruby’s cancer had spread to both his liver and his brain. This tends to rule out second-hand smoke as the culprit because although small cell lung cancer is the type that spreads quickly to other organs, it is most often found in people who are themselves heavy smokers. (Rhodes Island Cancer Council). What we are left with then, is some other carcinogen as the probable cause. Beryllium is one logical answer given beryllium dust shuts down the immune system, allowing the lungs to be damaged, and tumors to form and spread to other organs. It also creates ideal conditions for mycoplasma to thrive. (The Unified Health Physics Modelling Scientific Report). It is not a stretch to suggest that Ruby may have first come into contact with beryllium whilst in the Army Air Force and stationed at Farmingdale where the F-12 was being built, since this heavy metal is much used in the aviation and space industries. His association with the National Research Corporation through John C Jackson provides a second possibility for beryllium exposure to have occurred. The NRC was named in a May 25, 2001 report issued by the US General Accounting Office as being one of the locations where beryllium was used or detected. The evidence however, points only to low grade exposure in the 1950‘s (and possibly back to the 1940‘s), causing atypical recurring pneumonia, and a weakened immune system rather than cancerous tumors (which would have required a higher exposure): nothing lethal if he kept fit and otherwise healthy. That Ruby was a health and fitness fanatic indicates he may have had some knowledge of his exposure. So what did happened to trigger his cancer ? Alan Adelson tells us in "The Ruby Oswald Affair" that Jack’s sister, Eva Grant, first noticed Jack’s illness as early as June, 1966 , and that by September, he was throwing up every day. If his illness was evident in June 1966, then it is feasible that the onset of cancer coincided with Dr Jolyon West’s visit in April, 1964 to administer hypnosis and drugs. This was the month after the trial ended, and when appeals would be in full swing. It is common for such a period of time to pass between onset and when symptoms become manifest. In this case, it took another 7 months after the onset of symptoms before a diagnosis of lung cancer was made. It is possible, but unlikely, that Ruby had the cancer prior to the assassination. This is because of the x rays Dr Ulevitch took of Ruby’s chest on November 11. Though not fool proof, most lung cancer patients show an abnormal x ray. (Cancerline UK). If he had cancer then, Ulivitch would have called him in. It is widely known that Ruby believed injections he was being given, were cancer cells. He truly believed he was being murdered in this most unusual manner. And why would he not be paranoid about such a possibility since in January 1964, it was widely reported that elderly patients at the Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital in Brooklyn had been injected with live cancer cells as part of an experiment conducted by two eminent physicians from Sloan-Kettering? A court battle over the records of patients involved kept the story bubbling until at least 1966. Deputy sheriff Al Maddox claimed to researchers in the 1980s that the doctor who gave Ruby the injections was from Chicago. Though not from Chicago, Alan Adelson said he had met with Dr Jolyon West in the Windy City to discuss the case. (Earl Ruby HSCA testimony) The last word however, probably should go to the Inspector General in reference to CIA medical experiments: "The risk of compromise of the program through correct diagnosis of an illness by an unwitting medical specialist is regularly considered and is stated to be a governing factor in the decision to conduct a given test. The Bureau officials also maintain close working relations with local police authorities which could be utilized to protect the activity in critical situations." (July 26, 1963 memo from JS Eamon to Director, CIA).
---------------------------------------
To make my position clear, it seems to me all too convenient that Ruby's cancer can be traced to an approximate onset coinciding with when his appeals were in full swing and West makes his appearance with needle in hand.
For him to have been somehow given cancer by injection of cancer cells however - the following has to be accepted: that it was already known that he had "walking pneumonia" and as a result, that he had a compromised immune system. If the cancer cell injections had any chance of actually giving someone cancer, a compromised immune system was an essential requirement - which is why the experiments were being conducted on very sick and elderly hospital patients to start with.
It further can be surmised that he was allowed to see stories on the cancer cell injection experiments at the Jewish hospital as this would feed his paranoia and help render any of his utterances as springing from a very sick mind.

It is disturbing to me that Rubys Lawyers, Family or Rabbi didn't see that he had proper medical care prior to Dec 9 1966
"By Dec. 5, 1966 Wichita Falls was selected as the new venue for the trial. When the sheriff of Wichita Falls arrived a couple of days later to transfer Ruby to Wichita Falls he noticed that Ruby was ill and refused to take him away. The Dallas jail had been treating him with Pepto-Bismol for a stomach problem. He was taken to Parkland Hospital on Dec. 9, 1966 and the doctors treated him for pneumonia – a day later they realised he had cancer in his liver, brain and lungs, and had probably been suffering from it for 15 months.
Almost from the time he arrived at the hospital, Ruby's condition was considered hopeless. He died on Jan. 3, 1967.
when his doctors discovered that he was suffering from brain tumors and Lung adenocarcinoma – a cancer that had spread swiftly through most of the cavities, ducts and glands of his body, Ruby accused them of injecting him with the disease –
Ruby's autopsy revealed ''15 brain tumors,'' according to Ruby's lawyer, Joe Tonahill"

Thanks Jerry,
Hadn't seen that before, but it fits perfectly with my calculations regarding onset.
