They will know this information is true & will be in NO position to argue with you. Linus Pauling Ph.D. 2 time Nobel Prize winner (1901-1994) Linus Pauling Bio "Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud and that the major cancer research organisations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them." Ralph Moss, PhD, former Director of Information for Sloan Kettering Cancer Research Center Chemotherapy is basically ineffective in the vast majority of cases in which it is given, the exceptions being acute lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, nonseminomatous testicular cancer, as well as a few very rare forms of cancer, including choriocarcinoma, Wilm's tumor, and retinoblastoma. Samuel S. Epstein Dr. Epstein Bio Congressional Record, Sept. 9, 1987 Chemotherapy and radiation can increase the risk of developing a second cancer by up to 100 times, according to Dr. Samuel S. Epstein. Alan C Nixon, PhD former president of the American Chemical Society ...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. Dr. Martin Shapiro UCLA "Cancer researchers, medical journals, and the popular media all have contributed to a situation in which many people with common malignancies are being treated with drugs not known to be effective." Dr. Candace Pert, Georgetown University School of Medicine Except for two forms of cancer, chemotherapy does not cure. It tortures and may shorten life -- no one can tell from the available data. Dr. Jürgen Buche, Preventorium Institute ...chemotherapy is curative in very few cancers - testicular, Hodgkin's, choriocarcinoma, childhood leukemia. In most common solid tumors - lung, colon, breast, etc. - chemotherapy is NOT curative. Thomas Dao MD New England Journal of Medicine Mar 1975 292 p 707 Despite widespread use of chemotherapies, breast cancer mortality has not changed in the last 70 years. Albert Braverman MD 1991 Lancet 1991 337 p 901 "Medical Oncology in the 90s" Many medical oncologists recommend chemotherapy for virtually any tumor, with a hopefulness undiscouraged by almost invariable failure. 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. Ralph Moss, PhD former Director of Information for Sloan Kettering Cancer Research Center Question: "How in the world, Dr Moss, can [chemotherapy] be considered a standard cure, when it works for 2-4 [percent of cancer patients], and very specific ones? Answer: We are dealing with an industry. It is not supported by the facts. The way that it is done is this. The drugs are tested in test tubes, and they look for things that will kill cells. After you have found something that kills cells, cancer cells, cell lines which are very abnormal non-typical sort of growths, maybe a new life form almost, then you put it into animals. Then if it kills the cancers before it kills the animals, and shrinks the tumours, you consider you have an active agent. You then put it into people, and go through the 3 phases the FDA prescribes for this, and basically if you can shrink the tumour 50% or more for 28 days you have got the FDA's definition of an active drug. That is called a response rate, so you have a response.. Quite a bit [different from a cure] because when you look to see if there is any life prolongation from taking this treatment what you find is all kinds of hocus pocus and song and dance about the disease free survival, and this and that. In the end there is no proof that chemotherapy in the vast majority of cases actually extends life, and this is the GREAT LIE about chemotherapy, that somehow there is a correlation between shrinking a tumour and extending the life of the patient. [Or that there is a correlation between looking at a cancer cell in a test tube and the tumour in someone's body.] What happens as you grow those cells in cell lines they become very weird. Hundreds and hundreds of generations later they don't even look like normal human cancer cells. They are things that grow under glass, immortal cells, unlike normal cancer cells. So much cancer research is very questionable because it is based on this cell line research. CHEMOTHERAPY: AN UNPROVEN PROCEDURE "a scientific wasteland" How can that be true of the main cancer treatment in the U.S.? Fact is, no solid scientific studies or clinical trials prove chemotherapy's effectiveness, except in a small percentage of very rare types of cancer. For solid tumors of adults, the vast majority of cancer, or anything that has metastasized, chemotherapy just doesn't work. A German epidemiologist from the Heidelberg/Mannheim Tumor Clinic, Dr. Ulrich Abel has done a comprehensive review and analysis of every major study and clinical trial of chemotherapy ever done. His conclusions should be read by anyone who is about to embark on the Chemo Express. To make sure he had reviewed everything ever published on chemotherapy, Abel sent letters to over 350 medical centers around the world asking them to send him anything they had published on the subject. Abel researched thousands of articles: it is unlikely that anyone in the world knows more about chemotherapy than he. The analysis took him several years, but the results are astounding: Abel found that the overall worldwide success rate of chemotherapy was "appalling" because there was simply no scientific evidence available anywhere that chemotherapy can "extend in any appreciable way the lives of patients suffering from the most common organic cancers." Abel emphasizes that chemotherapy rarely can improve the quality of life. He describes chemotherapy as "a scientific wasteland" and states that at least 80 percent of chemotherapy administered throughout the world is worthless, and is akin to the "emperor's new clothes" - neither doctor nor patient is willing to give up on chemotherapy even though there is no scientific evidence that it works! Lancet 10 Aug 91 No mainstream media even mentioned this comprehensive study: it was totally buried. Tell Your Oncologists to argue with these Results! In an especially dramatic table, Dr. Abel displays the results of chemotherapy in patients with various types of cancers, as the improvement of survival rates, compared to untreated patients. This table shows: * Colorectal cancer: no evidence survival is improved. * Gastric cancer: no clear evidence. * Pancreatic cancer: Study completely negative. Longer survival in control (untreated) group. * Bladder cancer: no clinical trial done. * Breast cancer: No direct evidence that chemotherapy prolongs survival; its use is "ethically questionable." (That is particularly newsworthy, since all breast cancer patients, before or after surgery, are given chemotherapy drugs.) * Ovarian cancer: no direct evidence. * Cervix and uterus: No improved survival. * Head and neck: no survival benefit but occasional shrinkage of tumors. What does HIV & Chemotherapy have in common? They both destroy White Blood Cells! This destruction of WHITE BLOOD CELLS is very much like what happens to HIV patients who are initially diagnosed as being HIV positive. Over time, the HIV virus destroys CD4 cells (Look at Hypothetical Example below) which are WHITE BLOOD CELLS called "Helper Cells". These CD4 white blood cells are our first line of defense against any foreign invader and protect us from many different types of diseases and ailments like pneumonia, the common cold, the flu and on and on and on. You will notice in the HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE below, that when an HIV patient's CD4 count reaches 200, the patient is diagnosed as having AIDS. It is at this point when a person can become vulnerable to over 30 different types of diseases. Their immune system no longer has the ability to fight off these diseases that normally would not cause them any problem. (Hypothetical Example) Progression of HIV & the destruction of CD4 White Blood Cells HEALTHY Patient HIV/AIDS HIV Negative Jan 1000 Healthy adults usually have CD4 counts of 1000 or more per cubic millimeter of blood HIV Positive 1000 Feb 986 932 Mar 1022 872 Apr 1009 792 May 980 716 June 1102 623 July 1050 542 Aug 980 439 Sept 1021 356 Oct 893 263 Nov 977 200-AIDS Dec 1007 53 *AIDS is diagnosed when the CD4 cell count drops below 200 cells per cubic millimeter of blood. . *This is why Doctors have to keep an eye on each Chemotherapy Patient's White Blood Count because they know that if they keep giving the patient Chemotherapy they will eventually create the same condition that AIDS Patients die from. 1. Chemotherapy kills WHITE BLOOD CELLS. After reading this information, one quickly realizes when Chemotherapy kills your White Blood Cells it is a Step by Step destruction of an already compromised immune system, one White Blood Cell at a time. Did you know that studies have been done that indicate that over 60% of Cancer patients, who take Chemotherapy, die from opportunistic illnesses like pneumonia, the common cold, etc. instead of the Cancer intself. Why? They have no immune system left to fight anything. 2. Chemotherapy kills RED BLOOD CELLS. Red Blood Cells are your oxygen carriers. In the section called WHAT YOU MUST KNOW, you will find a section that discusses ACIDOSIS. This section explains how important it is to have a balanced PH. Did you know all Cancer patients have 2 things in common irregardless of the type of Cancer they have? They are highly acidic and anemic which causes a myriad of health problems. Acid drives out Oxygen and creates an anaerobic atmosphere that Cancer & other degenerative diseases love and thrive in. The reason, many Cancer patients are Anemic, is because Acid drives out the Oxygen found in a Red Blood Cell. As that Red Blood Cell(full of Oxygen) travels from the Heart to the rest of the body, the amount of Oxygen in that Red Blood Cell can be diminished depending on the Acid atmosphere it is traveling through. Did you know that advanced Cancer Patients are usually 1000 times more acidic than a healthy human being? This low oxygen atmosphere is the perfect breeding ground for Cancer and may be the very reason why advanced Cancer Patients rarely recover. This Acid Atmosphere as well as other factors like Chemotherapy can cause a condition called Cachexia which causes the Cancer patient to lose their appetite and stop eating. It is documented that many Cancer Patients die from Malnutrition as a result of this condition not from the Cancer itself. So, if a Cancer patient is already Acidic & if Acid drives out the oxygen causing an anaerobic atmosphere that Cancer loves, how much sense does it make to take Chemotherapy that will kill more of your oxygen carrying Red Blood Cells? By a matter of deduction and the use of common sense once again, wouldn't that create an even more anaerobic atmosphere and provide an even more desirable situation for Cancer to wreak havoc? CHEMOTHERAPY SPILL Must be treated as a Toxic Bio-Hazard When any chemotherapeutic drug is spilled in the hospital or anywhere en route, it is classified as a major biohazard, requiring the specialists to come and clean it up with their space-suits and all their strictly regulated protocols. Yet this same agent is going to be put into the human body and is expected to cure it of disease? Do you really want this in your body? What's wrong with this picture? Picture of Chemotherpy Spilled on a Patients Hand Above is a reduced-size rendering of the burning and scarring resulting “of a spill of chemotherapy onto the bare hand. Is it any wonder that people are worried about what might be happening to their insides as chemotherapy is intravenously fed into the body? Is it any wonder that chemotherapy nurses wear protective gloves? And, is it any wonder that a high percentage of oncologists refuse to submit to the treatments they advocate for their patients? McGill University: story of Oncolgists refusing Chemo for themselves Click Here Chemo drugs are some of the most toxic substances ever designed to go into a human body, their effects are very serious, and are often the direct cause of death. Like the case of Jackie Onassis, who underwent chemo for one of the rare diseases in which it generally has some beneficial results: non-Hodgkins lymphoma. She went into the hospital on Friday and was dead by Tuesday. Do you really think your Doctor believes Chemotherapy is what you need? 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. In the survey of 79 oncologists, 64 said they would not consent to treatment with Cisplatin, a common chemotherapy drug, while 58 oncologists said they would reject all the current trials being carried out by their establishment. Why would Oncologists refuse Chemo? “The ineffectiveness of chemotherapy and its unacceptable degree of toxicity.” Philip Day, Cancer: Why We’re Still Dying to Know the Truth Because of the problem of nausea and vomiting caused by cancer itself as well as many chemotherapy agents and/or radiation therapy, many cancer patients develop anorexia - the loss of appetite or desire to eat. This situation is not good at all because it can lead to a condition known as cancer "cachexia" - a wasting syndrome characterized by weakness and a noticeable continuous loss of weight, fat, and muscle. A high percentage of cancer patients actually die of malnutrition rather than their disease itself. Dr. Wynders' Bio Chemotherapy expert Ernst Wynder, former professor at Sloan-Kettering Hospital and recipient of a medal from the American Cancer Association, wrote this warning to professor Gearin-Tosh about advising a close friend to avoid chemotherapy! "If your friend touches chemotherapy, he's a goner." "GREED IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL" ”Chemotherapy Report” 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. This relentless increase in chemotherapy use was accompanied by a relentless increase in cancer deaths. return to home page
