Unproven methods of cancer treatment

and other information available to it, the American Cancer Society has not found evidence that treatment with the Nichols Escharotic Method results in objective benefit in the treatment of cancer. The following is a summary of infor mation on the Nichols Escharotic Method in the American Cancer Society files: The Dr. Nichols Sanatorium, using the Nichols Escharotic Method, was founded by Perry Lewis Nichols, M.D., at Savan nah, Missouri, in 1914. The Sanatorium closed in 1957. Shortly thereafter, reports were received that two osteopaths form erly employed at the Sanatorium, Drs. Robert F. Sutter and L. Kerns, had started a clinic using the same prepara tion. In 1966, the clinic operated by these two doctors was called the Savannah Cancer Clinic.
