Spooky: The Cat That Started a Movement

Spooky was more than the Richardson family cat—he was the spark that helped ignite a movement. When Spooky developed a tumor on his neck, Dr. John A. Richardson, MD, treated him using Laetrile (Vitamin B17), a natural compound he was studying at the time. To everyone’s amazement, the tumor disappeared completely, and Spooky went on to live many more healthy years, cancer-free. His recovery became one of the first living examples of what would later be known as the Certified Dr. Richardson Metabolic Therapy Program, inspiring decades of research, patient care, and hope for a world without cancer.
