When the cure is worse than the sickness To understand the utter hypocrisy of chemotherapy, consider the following: The McGill Cancer Center in Canada, one of the largest and most prestigious cancer treatment centers in the world, did a study of oncologists to determine how they would respond to a diagnosis of cancer. On the confidential questionnaire, 58 out of 64 doctors said that all chemotherapy programs were unacceptable to them and their family members. The overriding reason for this decision was that the drugs are ineffective and have an unacceptable degree of toxicity. These are the same doctors who will tell you that their chemotherapy treatments will shrink your tumor and prolong your life! Thirty years ago, I worked with a radiologist who told me this: "If I get cancer, I'm going to Mexico." So if you get cancer, don't call your doctor; call your travel agent. There are alternative treatments available, but you will have to run the gamut of outraged chemotherapists, radiologists, and surgeons to find one. They will use cajolery, insults, fear, threats ("If you do this, I am off the case"), and misrepresentation to dissuade you. Two excellent clinics offering alternative treatments are the following: Burton Clinic

Read Questioning Chemotherapy, by Ralph Moss, Equinox Press. (I've seen it on Amazon.com for less than 15 bucks). This book is a must for all concerned about this medical scandal - a chamber of horrors that doctors don't want to talk about. According to an Australian study, elderly users of NSAIDs who have a history of heart disease have a greater risk of developing congestive heart failure (CHF) than nonusers. There is the usual spooky delay between suspecting danger from a drug and the actual studies performed to confirm or deny the threat to patients. These products have been on the market for 30 years! The researchers estimate that approximately 19 percent of new CHF cases are due to consumption of NSAIDs. The authors conclude that use of NSAIDs (other than low-dose aspirin) doubles the odds of death due to an episode of CHF for the elderly. The risk increases substantially for those with a history of heart disease. It should be noted that aspirin is indeed part of the NSAID family, and is implicated in CHF as well, though less so. |
