Mark Sloan's story begins on Mother's Day in 1985, a day that should have been filled with joy but was instead overshadowed by a medical emergency. Born with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, Sloan's life was saved by the quick actions of medical professionals. However, this was just the beginning of a journey that would take a tragic turn years later.
In the seventh grade, Sloan learned his mother had cancer. The diagnosis sent shockwaves through his family, igniting a desperate search for effective treatment. Initially, surgery and radiation seemed to offer hope. But as Sloan would later discover, the reality of cancer treatment is far more complex and, in many cases, far more devastating than commonly believed.
Sloan's father, determined to leave no stone unturned, explored alternative treatments, including Essiac tea, a herbal remedy with a long history of use. Despite their efforts, his mother's health continued to deteriorate. The chemotherapy and radiation treatments took a severe toll, leaving her in excruciating pain. Sloan recalls lying in bed at night, hearing her sobs and prayers for relief.
Driven by the need to understand why his mother's treatments were failing, Sloan embarked on an exhaustive quest for answers. His research uncovered shocking truths about the cancer industry. He found that the industry is often driven by profit rather than the best interests of patients. From the historical roots of cancer surgery, which began with experimental procedures on slave women, to the development of chemotherapy from chemical warfare agents, the book paints a troubling picture.
Sloan's investigation into surgery reveals that removing a tumor can sometimes do more harm than good. Studies have shown that in some cases, patients who refuse surgery live longer than those who undergo the procedure. The book also delves into the origins of chemotherapy, highlighting that many chemotherapy drugs are derived from mustard gas. Despite claims of effectiveness, studies indicate that chemotherapy often has a high failure rate, with devastating side effects that can diminish patients' quality of life and, in some cases, shorten their lifespan.
Radiotherapy, while capable of killing cancer cells, also damages healthy cells and has been linked to an increased risk of secondary cancers. The book cites numerous studies showing that radiotherapy can sometimes do more harm than good, with some patients experiencing severe side effects and complications...<<<Read More>>>...
