What Doctors won’t tell you about chemotherapy

 It’s obvious the so-called ‘War on Cancer’ has failed. The use of chemotherapy in cancer treatment is limited in its effectiveness and kills many.

Why is it still used? The cancer industry focuses on profit over effective treatments.

Take aspirin for example. At low doses, aspirin helps cancer patients. Studies involving one million patients with 18 different cancers showed aspirin reduced mortality by 21%. Sadly, many oncologists and cancer charities are unduly influenced by the pharmaceutical industry and see no value in persuading patients to take aspirin.

A decade ago doctors agreed that one in three people would get cancer. Today, the same doctors tell us that one in two people will get cancer.

There, in that simple statistic, is all the proof you need that the so-called ‘War on Cancer’ is a total failure. The huge multi-billion dollar cancer industry has helped make things worse not better.

Seventeen types of cancer are much commoner among young people than they used to be.

And studies show that the death rate among cancer patients accelerates when patients in poor health are given chemotherapy. The American Society of Clinical Oncologists has said that chemotherapy should be restricted to relatively healthy patients who can withstand the toxic effects.

The uplift in survival after chemotherapy can be as low as 2.5% and may go up to 5%. But chemotherapy kills many of those brave souls who endure their chemotherapy treatment.

The problem is that the cell-destroying properties of chemotherapy can be lethal. It isn’t just cancer cells which die. It is widely assumed by journalists that the only problem is hair loss. Oh, if only that were true. Chemotherapy drugs can damage the bone marrow, the central nervous system, the digestive system, the kidneys and the bladder. Osteoporosis and hormone changes can occur. Heart damage is so common, and so serious, that many patients being treated with chemotherapy die of heart problems. These deaths are not usually listed as being a result of the chemotherapy. And chemotherapy can damage the immune system – just what you don’t want if you are fighting cancer....<<<Read More>>>...
