Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 21 Jan 2004 05:20:02 -0000 " Bill Henderson " Your 7-Day Course (Day 2 of 7) BEATING CANCER - GENTLY (Day 2 of 7) by Bill Henderson Why You Need To Get Smart About Cancer When you first walk into the oncologist's office after your cancer diagnosis, you need to be smarter than he or she is about cancer. What? Smarter than the cancer specialist? Yes. Exactly. If you want to survive and get your cancer under control, you need to be smarter than your oncologist. Why? THE CANCER " SYSTEM " All conventional cancer treatment today is driven and controlled by drug company money. Any competition is brutally suppressed, with the cooperation of our Federal and State governments. Many books on this subject have been written, some better than others. The fact of the corruption is very real. Don't you be a victim of it. Let me give you a few facts: * Since the 1930's in the U.S. alone, over 100 treatments for cancer which are gentle and non-toxic have healed cancer patients. Some treatments have healed hundreds. Many have healed thousands. Why won't you hear about these from your cancer doctor? Because they use natural substances. Therefore, they cannot be patented and can make no money for the pharmaceutical companies. This simple fact drives all conventional cancer treatment. * Since 1971, when President Nixon declared " War on Cancer, " cancer deaths in the U.S. have risen every year. If you were the General in charge of this " war, " you almost certainly would have scrapped your strategy for something different by now. Instead, we, the taxpayers keep funding the National Cancer Institute (NCI) with $3 billion every year. Not once in their 30-year history, has this agency of our federal government honestly tested any of the 100 " alternative " cancer treatments mentioned above. * 55% of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) executives are employed by a pharmaceutical company when they leave the FDA. Several ex-Congressmen work for " Big Pharma " as lobbyists. In Washington, alone, Big Pharma has over 600 full-time lobbyists -- more than one per member of Congress. * The average cancer patient generates $500,000 worth of revenue for the cancer treatment " system " before they die. Over 1.2 million Americans are diagnosed with cancer each year. Over 550,000 Americans die of their cancer every year -- 1,500 every day. Cancer treatment is REALLY big business. * According to Forbes magazine, AstraZeneca made $630 million in 2001 on one breast cancer drug. They call it Nolvadex (commonly known as Tamoxifen). Why has the name been changed? Because the original patent for this drug was issued in 1972. It has been extended, as is typical for expensive prescription drugs, by manipulation of the filler and packaging and other trivial changes made by Astra- Zeneca simply to extend the life of the patent and avoid cheaper generic forms of this drug. * Have you ever wondered why a drug company would spend $200-500 million testing a new drug? Tamoxifen aka Nolvadex alone has made AstraZeneca and its predecessor companies over $18 billion (with a " b " ) in the last 30 years. Forbes estimated that AstraZeneca would make $2.5 billion in 2002 on cancer drugs alone. * Our government's Medicare system encourages the fraud and abuse that is rampant among oncologists. For example, the chemotherapy drug Etoposide is sold wholesale to oncolgoists for $7.50 for a 100mg dose. The allowable Medicare reimbursement, however, is $129.34 per dose. The consumer (you and I) pay a co-payment of $25.87 - almost three and a half times the doctor's cost! Medicare pays the rest from our tax dollars. * According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the average oncologist makes $253,000 a year. Of this, 75% is profit on chemotherapy drugs administered in his or her office. All of these drugs, like Tamoxifen and Etoposide, treat the symptoms of cancer, not its causes. * A recent survey of the 64 oncologists working at the McGill Cancer Therapy Center in Montreal found that 58 of them (91%) said they would not take chemo- therapy or allow their family members to take it for cancer treatment. Why? Too toxic and not effective. Enough? Do you see why you must be aware of the cancer environment before you " submit " to treatment? Our medical system has been completely corrupted by drug company money. You and I are not going to be able to change this in our lifetimes. What we can do, and what I'm dedicated to helping you do, is survive chronic, degenerative diseases like cancer by being aware of this. Knowledge is power. Tomorrow, we'll take a look at " What is cancer, anyway? " Bill Henderson Author, " Cure Your Cancer " P.S. Remember, if you are in a hurry for complete information on dealing with cancer, just go to: http://www.getandstaywell.com where you can buy the book " Cure Your Cancer " as either an e-book (instant download) or a " real " paperback or hard cover.
