714-X is the name given to an alternative product developed by Gaston Naessens, a French microbiologist now residing in Quebec, Canada.

Some patients swear by 714-X as a cancer alternative; the jury is somewhat out in that many alternative physicians are not so sure of its effectiveness. Just because it has been attacked ruthlessly is not proof that something really works, as many air-headed dreamers think.

Only results count. Again I have found it difficult to separate the supposed effect of 714-X from other simultaneous interventions. Lots of patients stories about how they recovered is not proof, scientifically, if they also switched their diet or took supplements, etc.

What I do know is that Naessens recommends 714X is injected daily in a series, repeated twenty times. 3 series is the minimum (over 60 shots). These are given in the lymph nodes of the groin (ouch!)

It’s your right to try it if you like, though the FDA says it is not your right. Outside Canada, 714-X is available in Mexico and Western Europe but not in the US. Attempts to block it are vicious, unreasonable and still ongoing.

As an aside (almost), Naessens developed in the 1940s an extremely powerful light microscope (it uses ultraviolet and laser technology) that is capable of extraordinary rates of magnification—up to 30,000 diameters. With it he can see tiny organelles in the blood that are not visible to the ordinary laboratory microscope.

This sounds uncannily like the beginning of the Rife story

Naessens named the circulating organelles "somatids", so his instrument was dubbed the Somatoscope. Well, Rife saw these too, so that is not in question.

One of the first scientists who talked about pleomorphism in human blood was Béchamel, a contemporary and rival of Pasteur. He called the little bodies he observed "microzymes". The German Enderlein in the early 20th century called them "protits".
