I have found the following refernce to a monograph on Urea, in a lecture given by the late Dr Hans Nieper of Germany. I would like more details about this monograph, i.e. how to obtain it or how to contact the author, there may be an error in the spelling of the author's name (Amat) as I have not found it in combination with Urea Monograph "Then, in 1987, Amat, the Spanish biochemist and neurologist, issued a l,000-page monograph on the biochemical importance of urea. This study only exists in Spanish, but it is, however, indispensable for every oncologist and immunologist." |

Hello. The monograph that you seek is almost certainly "Cancer : teoria bioquimica y practica clinica" by Joaquin Amat Larraz. As my colleague Scriptor points out in his comment below, Joaquin Amat Larraz is the Spanish biochemist who has suggested urea as a treatment for cancer. According to an Italian web page, Joaquin Amat Larraz wrote a book about his theories and sent it to all the important medical schools in Europe and America. The title of the book was "Cancer, Teoria biochimica e pratica clinica" (or "Cancer : teoria bioquimica y practica clinica"). See disinformazione.it: "JOAQUIN AMAT LARRAZ: Medico. Opera da anni in Spagna, vicino Barcellona, dove ha un day ospital. Il prodotto che usa sia per la diagnosi che per terapia si chiama "Amatrisan". E' a base di urea... Ha scritto un libro, e lo ha inviato a tutte le più importanti Facoltà di Medicina dell'Europa e delle due Americhe, che si chiama "Cancer, Teoria biochimica e pratica clinica". http://www.disinformazione.it/ricercatori%20eretici.htm I did an "author search" for "Joaquin Amat" in a UK-based library catalog called COPAC: http://www.copac.ac.uk/copac/wzgw The catalog entry for "Cancer : teoria bioquimica y practica clinica" indicates that the book is indeed 1000+ pages long, so this is clearly the monograph to which Nieper was referring. The book actually seems to have been published in 1985 & 1986 rather than 1987. Here is the catalog entry for the book: Main Author: Amat, Joaquin Title Details: Cancer : teoria bioquimica y practica clinica / [Joaquin Amat Larraz] Publisher: Benicarlo : J. Amat Larraz, 1986 Physical desc.: 1070p : ill(some col) : forms Language: Spanish source: COPAC author search http://www.copac.ac.uk/copac/wzgw --------- As for obtaining a copy, your best bet is probably a library. As the Italian page above indicates, Amat sent his book to many of the important medical schools in the U.S. & Europe, so it seems to be available in many libraries. If you're in the U.S., you could almost certainly obtain the book through inter-library loan via your local public library. Or, if you give me an approximate idea of your location, I could try to locate a library near you that has the book. Let me know. I hope this helps. |

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the monograph, but it might be helpful to know that the scientist's name may very well be spelled correctly; I've found numerous references to Spanish scientists named Amat. There are 46 references to a P. Amat on MedLine: http://www.food-allergens.de/j-index/j-index00-02.html Here the name is given as "Amat Par P": http://revista.seaic.es/agosto2001e/ http://allergyadvisor.com/hidden3.htm I believe it's likely that "Amat Par" is the actual surname, and the first initial is "P", on the basis of this Google search of Spanish web pages: ://www.google.com/search?as_q=&num=100&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&newwindow=1&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=amat+par&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=lang_es&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&safe=off Another possibility is "JA Amat", mentioned here: http://www.ebd.csic.es/info/pubebd?AN=1994 http://ebd10.ebd.csic.es/mywork/publist.html http://academic.evergreen.edu/n/nadkarnn/monteverde/Plant-Animal.html There is an M. Amat who is affiliated with the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry at the University of Barcelona: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=12120573&dopt=Abstract I hope a Researcher who has access to academic databases will be able to find the monogtaph you're seeking. |

Please excuse the typo in my comment. By "monogtaph," of course, I meant "monograph." |

I have not been able to trace the monograph, but I have most likely found out the full name of the author: Dr. Joaquin Amat Larraz, a neurologist from Zaragoza, Spain. Dr. Amat Larraz is best known as the inventor of an Urea-based anti-cancer medication called "Amatrisan". Though the medicament had not been approved by Spanish authorities, he used it for the treatment of patients in his clinic in Castellon, Spain. The illegal medicament has now been found ineffective and Dr. Joaquin Amat Larraz has been sentenced 11 years in prison by the Supreme Court of Spain in April 2003.
