Wheeler---as fact.
"Cancer is simply a fungus."
From my own reading, that is very much a matter of opinion, and if it
is at all true, it would prove to be true in only a certain fraction
of cases. I personally do not believe it.
"If the tumors are bathed in contaminated fluids because of poor
metabolism, these spent foods may rot and will call in Progenitor
cryptocides to morph into germs, Nature's scavengers, sent to eat
necrosed tissue (dead) and their excretions are the toxins we then
detect as being cancer."
Here is some of what Commonweal says about Virginia Wheeler:

Did she, in fact, achieve the levels of clinical success that she
reports?
I remain agnostic about Livingston's claim that she found a cancer
microbe. It is an interesting hypothesis which should be
scientifically evaluated. As I mentioned, a small but identifiable
international coterie of physicians and researchers is currently
investigating pleomorphic organisms and cell wall-deficient bacteria,
so the ideas are unlikely to go away. Whether or not someone will do
a rigorous, independent evaluation to test Livingston's claims
remains unclear.
While her claims in regard to her "cancer microbe" and her vaccine
are an unresolved issue of high science, it is easy to overlook the
comprehensive nature of the immunosupportive and nutritional program
she designed around her vaccine. Livingston was both a brilliant
researcher (whether or not she was correct) and an inspired pragmatic
clinician who took ideas that made sense to her where she found them
and wove them into her treatment program. Livingston was a careful
observer of the methods of others, including the Gerson program and
other nutritional-metabolic programs in the San Diego-Tijuana area,
which is one of the hotbeds of alternative cancer therapies in North
America. She often attended conferences at which practitioners from
these clinics spoke. She was also a good friend of Josef Issels, a
pioneering nutritional-metabolic practitioner from Germany, and drew
on his work. So her nutritional-metabolic program is an example of a
coherent program that can readily be replicated by others with a
genuine research interest in her results.
But Livingston's claimed 82% success rate is entirely noncredible to
me, similar in its exaggeration to Max Gerson's claim of a 50%
success rate with advanced cancers and the claims made by many of the
other alternative cancer clinics in the San Diego-Tijuana area. These
grossly overstated claims of success are, it is true, endemic among
alternative cancer therapists. These claims greatly diminish their
credibility. Livingston, as a physician and research scientist,
should have known better than to publish these claims. Her poor
judgement helps account for her marginalization in the scientific and
medical communities.
Yet Livingston is certainly one of the best examples of an ethical,
credentialed, research-oriented practitioner who made her rationale
for treating cancer and her treatment protocols explicit, and who
welcomed outside evaluation. If she erred in failing to do careful
clinical research on her work, it is a common failing among
clinicians. The possibility that her work may, in retrospect, appear
historically significant--either as a result of her microbiology
research and her vaccine or as a result of her nutritional and
immunosupportive treatment protocol--is still open.
"If the tumors are
bathed in contaminated fluids because of poor metabolism, these spent
foods may rot and will call in Progenitor cryptocides to morph into
germs, Nature's scavengers, sent to eat necrosed tissue (dead) and
their excretions are the toxins we then detect as being cancer."
That, too, is opinion, not fact. It has not even been conclusively
proven that "progenitor cryptocydes" exist, and the idea that they
would "morph" into "germs" is at best highly suspect.
Foetuses and unborn babies can also, in the sense that they grow so
rapidly, and that their growth ceases due to antiangiogenesis, could
also be described as "tumors," but they are not tumors, and only
tumors are actually tumors, not scabs and not other healthful,
intelligent things the body does for itself.
