Cancer and chemotherapy- an inconvenient truth.

[Guest guest]

We live in interesting albeit confusing times. We are taught tobelieve in things that clearly don't make sense and shy away fromcommon sense facts that don't match up with the current acceptednorms. Take chemotherapy for instance. Some enlightened doctors havelikened chemotherapy to blowing up your house because you haverodents. If you look up the history of where chemotherapy came from, it wasdeveloped in the 1940's by the US Dept. of Defense. They hired 2pharmacologists to develop applications of chemical warfare agents.The pharmacists found mustard gas to be an excellent lethal agent tokill enemies. They also noticed that injected directly into the bodyit kills white blood cells (part of the immune system) and would alsokill cancer cells. Since then many comparably highly poisonous drugshave been created along these lines of thought as cancer treatments. The theory is that by intently poisoning the cancer cells, you cankill it. The familiar side effects of poisoning however; the loss ofappetite, sex drive and vitality, hair loss, constipation, diarrhea,weakness, severe fatigue, nausea, memory changes, pain swelling, etc.would beg common sense to factor into the equation that not only thecancer cells are attacked but that these highly toxic substancesdisturb the normal cellular biochemistry of the entire body. Although chemotherapy has helped people, after countless billions ofdollars in research and new drugs, the chance of someone gettingcancer in their lifetime has tripled in the last 50 years. Researchdollars go towards new and better drugs but do not go towards researchmuch outside of the realm of pharmacology even though increasingstudies exist to show that lower doses of chemotherapy and even somenatural therapies are just as helpful.www.examiner.com/x-10848-SF-Natural-Health-Examiner~y2009m6d11-New-hope-for-cure-Saturday-June-20 According to a meticulous 5 year study by 3 oncologists, long termbenefits of cytotoxic drugs have proven to be less than 5 percenteffective: http://www.australianprescriber.com/magazine/29/1/2/3/.Another study done in England, says chemotherapy contributes to latestage cancer deaths: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/11/13/2418640.htm In 1993 Brendan O'Regan and Caryle Hirshberg conducted the "RemissionProject" to begin to study 'spontaneous remission.' Spontaneousremission - the disappearance of a disease without medical treatmentconsidered adequate to result in a disease's disappearance - is quotedas occurring in somewhere between 60,000 to 100,000 cases and occursin almost every type of cancer. Regan and Hirschberg found the numberto be at least 20% higher in their investigation of over 3,500references from more than 800 journals. Since there is no organizedfield of study it is difficult to know exactly how often or whyspontaneous remission occurs. Clearly there are no concrete answers that will work 100% of the timefrom either alternative or conventional medicine. Add to thatpolitical and financial issues that are involved in the equation andyou have a system that inadequately addresses chronic illnesses.Hopefully in the future, true scientific inquiry into studies onissues like remission, prevention and what actually causes dreadfuldisease will be at the forefront of a new paradigm in health and whatit means to be human. originalwave.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~To to this group, send email to: MedicalConspiracies- (AT) googl (DOT) com
