In 1995, Ben Williams was diagnosed with a brain tumor the size of a large orange and given eighteen months to live. Rather than rely solely on the advice of his physicians, Williams sought out cutting-edge treatments, identified promising alternative therapies, used his statistical expertise to interpret clinical trial results, and ultimately created his own 'drug cocktail' based on the best scientific research available. Williams maintains that the practices of the FDA and the medical establishment sometimes result in potentially helpful treatments being withheld from terminally ill cancer patients.
