The Golden Age, “A Cure for Cancer”

2. April 1930 · pp.434-437 · M. Q. · Golden Age Publishing Company, Brooklyn, New York

“If the irritation of a “chemical ferment” (such as a compound of aluminum) can, by any possibility, be considered a cause of cancer, eliminate all aluminum utensils from your kitchen.”

An article signed only with initials which recounts three cases of breast and internal cancer said to have been cured by living on grape juice with a daily warm-water enema, and endorses Dr. Betts's theory that aluminium cookware is 'a prolific cause of cancer'.

The Golden Age, “Good Health Dietetic Rules”

17. April 1929 · pp.451-460 · compiled by W. E. Reynolds, N.D. · Woodworth, Knorr & Martin (The Golden Age), Brooklyn, New York

“If you boil vegetables in aluminum ware you always produce a poison, in the opinion of the scientists and doctors just quoted, the name of the poison being determined by the kind of food you cook.”

The lead article of the issue, running from the masthead page to page 460. Its title carries an asterisk, and the footnote at the foot of the first column of page 451 reads: “*Applicable to all of the nineteen chemical types of mankind. Compiled by W. E. Reynolds, N.D., Dietician, Rocine School, 3007 Water Street, Corpus Christi, Texas.” Its opening paragraphs credit the teachings of V. G. Rocine and of Dr Ralph Shadduck. It lists more than twenty chemists and physicians said to be 'a unit upon the opinion that aluminum compounds when taken internally by man are poisonous', and states that food left standing in aluminium and reheated can produce a poison 'often strong enough to cause serious illness and sometimes death'.

Notes. The article carries no by-line at its head; the attribution to W. E. Reynolds is printed as an asterisked footnote on page 451. It is therefore a compiled contribution from a naturopathic dietician, not an unsigned article in the magazine's own voice. An earlier version of this record described it as unsigned and as the magazine's own voice; that was wrong and was corrected on 19 September 2026.
