Are Cancer Treatments Effective - The Real Story

© By Lena Sanchez

I do not wish this article to be discouraging and I do offer an
alternative at the end, so do not despair half way through
reading.

Let's look at the 2000 sad stats on American Healthcare's $1.3B
industry. 1 out of 3 people get cancer, 1 out of 2 get heart
disease, obesity is at epidemic levels, 70% of children are
getting hardening deposits in their arteries as early as 12
years of age. And here is the worst one of all, 62% of
accidental deaths are attributed to prescriptions. 2001 found
prescription deaths greater than illegal drug deaths. In 2000
109,000 people died from prescription drugs another 2.2 million
survive but have illnesses or severe debilitation caused by
prescription use. So what does that tell you about how well we
are doing as a westernized medical society? The figures for 2001
& 2002 aren't in yet but believed to be even more severe.

"Deadly Medicine? Every year over 500,000 people worldwide die
from illness or organ diseased from the side effects of
pharmaceutical products," says the Journal of the American
Medical Association (JAMA). These pharmaceuticals are used to
treat the most deadly diseases known to Western Man: heart
attack, cancer, and stroke."

I shudder when reading reports like these, even though most are
from a few years back, sadly the story is that the healing rate
has not increased but actually decreased in some areas! I wonder
how many people have lost their lives early because of money and
the medical mess that has been created by perpetuating cancer
cures in the medical community that aren't really cures but
money producers?

Harvard University's published cancer mortality for 2,000
excluded non-melanoma skin cancer, non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma,
stomach cancers and other rare cancers. Their death figures from
the top fourteen cancers were 216,700 men and 197,600 women,
children were not reported. Aside from certain rare cancers, it
is impossible to detect any sudden changes in the death rates
for any of the major cancers that could be credited to
chemotherapy.

Whether any of the common cancers can be cured by chemotherapy
has yet to be established. In most common solid tumors-lung,
colon, breast, etc. chemotherapy is NOT curative.

Why the growth in chemotherapy in the face of such failure? A
look at the financial intercourse between a large cancer center
such as Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) and the
companies that make billions selling chemotherapy drugs makes
for revealing why.

James D. Robinson III, Honorary Chairman of the MSKCC Board of
Overseers and Managers, is a director of Bristol-Myers Squibb,
the world's largest producer of chemotherapy drugs. Richard
Gelb, Vice-Chairman of the MSKCC board is Chairman of the Board
at Bristol-Myers. Richard Furlaud, another MSKCC board member,
recently retired as Bristol Myers' president. Paul Marks, MD,
MSKCC's President and CEO, is a director of Pfizer.

Very few know that chemotherapy drugs are not FDA approved. They
are legally administered under the Rule of Probable Cause"
states that experimental drugs may be used if the side effect of
the drug is no worse than the end effect of the disease. In
fact, every chemotherapy bottle is stamped "For Experimental Use
Only" and the patient must sign a release before the doctor will
prescribe or administer it.

Multiple papers have been written stating that while some
oncologists inform their patients of the lack of evidence that
treatments work...others may well be misled by scientific papers
that express unwarranted optimism about chemotherapy. Still
others respond to an economic incentive. Physicians can earn
much more money running active chemotherapy practices than they
can providing solace and relief...to dying patients and their
families."

In my research to find cure rates they are knowningly and loudly
unobtainable, saying more than numbers. You know if they exist
or were good the pharmaceutical industry would be singing them
loud and clear.

Alan C. Nixon, PhD, Past President of the American Chemical
Society wrote that "As a chemist trained to interpret data, it
is incomprehensible to me that physicians can ignore the clear
evidence that chemotherapy does much, much more harm than good."

In 1986, McGill Cancer Center scientists sent a questionnaire to
118 doctors who treated non-small-cell lung cancer. More than
three-quarters of them recruited patients and carried out trials
of toxic drugs for lung cancer.

They were asked to imagine that they themselves had cancer, and
were asked which of six current trials they themselves would
choose. Of the 79 respondents, 64 said they would not consent to
be in a trial containing cisplatin, a common chemotherapy drug.
Fifty-eight found all the trials unacceptable. Their reasons?
The ineffectiveness of chemotherapy and its unacceptable degree
of toxicity.

Famed German biostatistician Ulrich Abel, PhD, also found in a
similar 1989 study that "the personal views of many oncologists
seem to be in striking contrast to communications intended for
the public."

"Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy does not eliminate breast, colon, or lung cancers.
This fact has been documented for over a decade, yet doctors
still use chemotherapy for these tumors." Allen Levin, MD UCSF
The Healing of Cancer, Marcus Books, 1990

Why so much use of chemotherapy if it does so little good? Well
for one thing, drug companies provide huge economic incentives.
In 1990, $3.53 billion was spent on chemotherapy. By 1994 that
figure had more than doubled to $7.51 billion and tripled in
2002 when all other industries were struggling to stay afloat.
This relentless increase in chemotherapy use is accompanied by a
relentless increase in cancer deaths. Again death certificates
state causes of death as cancer, when I personally know of some
that were free of cancer but died from the ongoing chemotherapy
prevention! This makes it impossible to know how many actually
die from chemotherapy!

Oncologist Albert Braverman, MD, wrote in 1991 that "No
disseminated neoplasm (cancer) incurable in 1975 is curable
today...Many medical oncologists recommend chemotherapy for
virtually any tumor, with a hopefulness undiscouraged by almost
invariable failure." Twelve years hasn't changed that or the
cancer death wouldn't continue to rise.

If you or a loved one should have need of such medical treatment
look long and hard before buying what you are being told. Take
charge of your life and get to the bottom of the truth before
being treated.

I do not get a cent from this recommendation for cancer
treatment or second opinion. That is the "Oasis Cancer Center"
with the largest cancer cure rate of any other treatment center
and theirs is with natural cures and sometimes surgery where
surgery is needed. They are forced to practice medicine just
across the border from the U.S. in order to practice without
harassment. For a free consultation online
