 The new Italian member, Dr. Alberto Mondini, from ARPC (Associaton for the research and Prevention of Cancer) offers a prize of 4 million Italian Lira for a dissertation on a problem connected with cancer.

 Spett.le Associazione,

 L'ARPC offre un premio di laurea di L4,000,000 per una tesi sui valori di acidità, ossidoriduzione e resistenza elettrica di sangue, saliva e urina in soggetti umani cancerosi.

 Tale ricerca si allega agli studi di Vincent, poco conosciuti in Italia, ma molto interessanti per varie ragioni. Tali studi oltre a dimostrare scientificamente l'importanza dell'alimentazione vegetariana, oltre a offrire un test diagnostico insuperabile, rendono possibile la ricerca sui tumori direttamente su soggetti umani.

 Una tesi su questo argomento sarà molto importante per rendere più agevole l'introduzione di tale metodo nel nostro paese.

 Pertanto, se conoscete un docente universitario che sia interessato alla nostra proposta, siete pregati di metterlo in contatto con noi.

 Il Presiente *Alberto R. Mondini*

A note on this archive. The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly.

Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value.
