Doctors and pharmaceutical companies make money from it. That’s the only reason chemotherapy is still used. Not because it’s effective, decreases morbidity, mortality or diminishes any specific cancer rates. In fact, it does the opposite. Chemotherapy boosts cancer growth and long-term mortality rates. Most chemotherapy patients either die or are plagued with illness within 10-15 years after treatment. It destroys their immune system, increases neuro-cognitive decline, disrupts endocrine functioning and causes organ and metabolic toxicities. Patients basically live in a permanent state of disease until their death. The cancer industry marginalizes safe and effective cures while promoting their patented, expensive, and toxic remedies whose risks far exceed any benefit. This is what they do best, and they do it because it makes money, plain and simple.
The reason a 5-year relative survival rate is the standard used to assess mortality rates is due to most cancer patients going downhill after this period. It’s exceptionally bad for business and the cancer industry knows it. They could never show the public the true 97% statistical failure rate in treating long-term metastatic cancers. If they did publish the long-term statistics for all cancers administered cytotoxic chemotherapy, that is 10+ years and produced the objective data on rigorous evaluations including the cost-effectiveness, impact on the immune system, quality of life, morbidity and mortality, it would be very clear to the world that chemotherapy makes little to no contribution to cancer survival at all. No such study has ever been conducted by independent investigators in the history of chemotherapy. The only studies available come from industry funded institutions and scientists and none of them have ever inclusively quantified the above variables.
Why? Money, greed and profits run the cancer industry–nothing else. The cancer establishment must retreat from the truth to treat cancer because there will never be any profit for them in in eradicating the disease. There is no governing body in the world that protects consumers from being subjected to these toxic therapies or even known carcinogens in our foods our environment, because that too, will prevent the profits from rolling in. It’s a business of mammoth proportions and must be treated as such. The most powerful anti-carcinogenic plants in the world such as cannabis must be demonized and be made illegal because they are so effective at killing cancer cells without side effects. Cannabinoids are so efficient at treating disease, that the U.S. Government patented them in 2003
If orthodox medicine were truly interested in curing cancer and healing people, don’t you think they would look for a way to target cancer cells with the intent of killing them while sparing normal cells?
Chemotherapy does not target cancer cells, and because of this, chemotherapy: 1) Kills far more normal cells than cancer cells, and 2) Damages and toxifies many of the normal cells that do survive.
If a “magic bullet” were used FIRST by orthodox medicine, meaning thecut/burn/slash/poison treatments were avoided, a 90% true cure rate would be easy to achieve. But the fact is that the leaders in the medical community have absolutely no interest in finding a “magic bullet.” A “magic bullet” would cost the drug companies hundreds of billions of dollars, and patients would have less hospitalization and less doctor visits, etc.
You might ask your oncologist why your chances of survival are only 3% (ignoring all of their statistical gibberish such as “5-year survival rates” and deceptive terms like “remission” and “response”), when your chance of survival would be over 90% if they used something like DMSO. Actually, bring up DMSO to any oncologist and most of them won’t even talk to you about it. Why? Because DMSO is a natural product, cannot be patented and cannot be made profitable because it is produced by the ton in the wood industry.
Why Is Chemotherapy Killing So Many People?
Why does concentrated cyanide kill you? How do anthrax, arsenic, and zyklon B kill you? They are all poisons. Consume or inject enough poison into your body and you will eventually die. Toxic chemotherapy drugs just happen to take a little longer than many of those above, and they’re designed that way. We couldn’t have people dropping like flies one week after receiving chemo or the gig would be over. Again, that would be bad for business.
According to official statistics, one person out of two is claimed to recover from cancer through conventional methods. Although dramatic, the information nevertheless contains a certain amount of hope, as implicitly it provides something positive for both scientists and patients. To the scientists it says: continue the research because it is producing results; do not try preventive, alternative theoretical or therapeutic roads, nor get discouraged by the fact that patients keep on dying every day. To the patients, on the other hand, it provides a warning: you have a 50 percent chance of making it, as long as you follow the conventional therapeutic protocols without trying what they claim are the useless alternatives.
There is an international classification (the TNM system) that classifies tumors on the basis of their gravity. They are subdivided into stages I, II, III, IV, and into sub-groups. It is clear to any trained eye that initial lesions that are doubtful or at the limit of malignancy represent the overwhelming majority of the observed “neoplasias”.
It is equally clear how often these presumed neoplasias, which are often subject to both misunderstanding and manipulation, inflate those statistics to the point of implausibility.
So, in the early stages of tumors (the dubious ones) the recovery rates are extremely high, while in the following stages — that is, where they certainly are tumors — the rates are barely above zero. The reason for the discrepency is the qualification of the data and how a patient is assessed in terms of recovery. Immune reconstitution and tolerance, organ and metabolic toxicities, endocrine challenges, functional outcomes, quality of life, and neurocognitive outcomes are NEVER inclusively assessed in any clinical study discussing the long-term survival and recovery rates of cancer patients. The damage to these systems slowly develops after chemotherapy, however if often does not begin to manifest throughout the body until several months or even years have passed. It takes time, but within a 3-5 year period, most chemotherapy patients begin to have many more symptoms of disease than they every had before their diagnosis, due to and as a direct result of cytotoxic drug intervention.
Adjuvant chemotherapy is often given to patients who might not really need it at all. Oncologists do not consider the whole spectrum of chemotherapy risks versus benefits and thus compromise quality of life for every patient they treat. A study in the Annals of Oncology is one of few which assessed the different potential long-term adverse events associated with adjuvant chemotherapy in cancer, with a particular focus on long-term cardiac toxicity, secondary leukemia, cognitive function, and neurotoxicity. The authors stated that the adverse events are frequently overshadowed by the well-demonstrated clinical efficacy and/or reassuring short-term safety profiles of the different chemotherapy regimens commonly used today.
Another study in the American Society of Clinical Oncology determined whether long-term survivors of metastatic testicular cancer have an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity more than 10 years after chemotherapy. They observed a significantly increased risk for occurrence of cardiac events accompanied by a persisting unfavorable cardiovascular risk profile likely due to chemotherapeutic agents.
Peter Glidden, BS, ND in the video above describes the 12-year meta-analysis published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology which observed adults who had developed cancer and treated with chemotherapy. The 12-year study looked at adults who had developed cancer as an adult. 97% of the time, chemotherapy did not work in regressing the metastatic cancers.
Why would any corporation have an interest in treating cancer when it generates well over $100 BILLION DOLLARS annually? Follow the money and you’ll discover quickly why people continue to get cancer. When 50% of the population is developing a disease within their lifetime, something is very wrong. In 2011, cancer was the #1 cause of death in the Western world, and #2 in developing countries.
Dr. Glidden further explains: If you go to a medical doctor with a sinus infection and that doctor prescribes an antibiotic, he gets no financial kickback. Now, if he prescribes 5,000 units of that antibiotic in one month, the drug company that makes it might send him to Cancun for a conference, but he gets no direct remuneration. With chemotherapeutic drugs, it’s different. Chemotherapeutic drugs are the only classification of drugs that the prescribing doctor gets a direct cut of.
So, if your doctor prescribes chemotherapy for you, here’s how it goes more or less: The doctor buys it from the pharmaceutical company for $5,000, sells it to the patient for $12,000, insurance pays $9,000, and the doctor pockets the $4,000 difference. If Ford Motor Company made an automobile that exploded 97% of the time, would they still be in business? No.
With cancer treatment in the United States, we have lost the war on cancer. Why? Because cancer is not a reductionistic phenomenon. Cancer is a holistic phenomenon. When you try to bring a reductionistic methodology like drugs and surgery to bear on a holistic phenomenon, you will completely miss the boat each and every time. You cannot do it.
Medical doctors are like colorblind art critics. They can see that that’s a boat. They can see the black and white outline, but they’re completely blind to all of the colors and textures that make up the substance of the thing. There’s no difference with cancer. The reason that people get cancer in the United States and the reason that we have completely lousy outcomes is because medical doctors are driving the research bus.
When people get together and do a 5K run for breast cancer, all of that money–do you think any of that money goes to nutritional research? Do you think any of that money goes to homeopathic research or acupuncture or traditional Chinese medicine or naturopathic research? No. All of it goes to drugs and surgery, which do not work.
Why aren’t those women running for selenium? If every girl in this country took 200 mcg of selenium, in one generation we’d eliminate breast cancer by 82%. That’s a big number. Why aren’t we doing that? Because medicine in the United States is a for-profit industry, and most people are completely unaware of this, and most people bow down to the altar of MD-directed high-tech medicine at their own demise.
There has been a 68% increase in the use of chemotherapy drugs since 2003 and despite the massive increase in the incidence of cancer since then; the risk factors (according to the cancer industry) for primary and secondary cancers are still related to tobacco, alcohol, occupational exposures and genetic determinants. Cancer treatment or diagnostics is never mentioned as a cause of any primary or secondary cancers.
How Chemotherapy Actually Boosts Cancer Growth Researchers tested the effects of a type of chemotherapy on tissue collected from men with prostate cancer, and found “evidence of DNA damage” in healthy cells after treatment, the scientists wrote in Nature Medicine.
Chemotherapy works by inhibiting reproduction of fast-dividing cells such as those found in tumours.
The scientists found that healthy cells damaged by chemotherapy secreted more of a protein called WNT16B which boosts cancer cell survival.
“The increase in WNT16B was completely unexpected,” study co-author Peter Nelson of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle told AFP.
The protein was taken up by tumour cells neighbouring the damaged cells.

You are most welcome Peekay,sorry to hear you lost your father to cancer,i hope many read about Graviola,love,light,blessings starchild.
dear Peekay,thankyou for the excellent post on exposing the deadly effects on Chemo,my younger sister passed over in 2011 from aggresive cancer,she had chemo,Radiation treatments,and both were totally useless,i suggested about other treatments,but sadly it did not eventuate.I had heard over a number of years how Hemp was excellent for treating cancers,and just after my sisters passing from the nasty cancer,a friend on another Site i was a member of told me about Graviola,i researched it,and was impressed with what i read on the link,i shall add the images here with this comment,so others who are reading this post,may want to also research the Graviola link themselves for study, blessings starchild.
If a person eats a lot of sweets and meats then their body is acidic and it's been proven that acidic bodies are more prone to cancer. However, there are vegetarians who also get cancer so more than diet is involved but you're right, a veggie diet is the best thing to do if you think you may have cancer and as you say go from there.
Sadly, many people do not know any better and have faith in doctors so do not consider there may be other options. I've never had much faith in doctors but 12 years ago finished it for me. The doctor I have now but rarely visit always asks me why I hate him so much. LOL I'm the type who will continue to try everything I can to try and overcome any health issues and with whatever nature provides.
............my stepfather had chemo 11 yrs ago and at the age 82 now hes doing great , one of my best friends had chemo done last yr at age 45 and he survived and baunced back quite well. I was told I have cancer 21 yrs ago and I decided to change my diet from heavy meat to fruits, veggies and spirulina/blue~green algae and still alive to tell a tale.
I think that will to live has a lot to do regardless if you have chemo or unconventional/natural treatment.
You're most welcome, Peekay!
Chemotherapy is use of a poison to "kill" a cancer tumor in its stage 4 state, with out-of-control cancer growth to other areas (i.e. "metastasis"). Use of it in early states, i.e. stage 1 and stage 2, is on the rise because it makes money. This is horrible patient care, and yes, it doesn't always work. It's a medical tactic to grab ones estate before they die.
Chemotherapy is dangerous in the sense that it kills healthy cells near the tumor involved, and yes, the cancer nearly always returns. The use of it in stage 1 and stage 2 nearly always results in other problems even if the cancer is contained, so it's a lose-lose situation.
I (as an RN) view chemotherapy as an attempt at a "quick fix," much like antidepressant drugs, with dangerous side-effects (and yes, the drug doesn't always work).
Very much like the economy, nobody wants to go after the root of the problem. Everyone wants a quick fix to their ailment, with nobodys' toes stepped on in the Ivory Towers.
I've found most folks would not even consider an alternative therapy for their cancer and that goes for when they're dying from the disease.
I've been researching different natural alternative cancer therapies for well over 10 years and there are many that have a much better cure rate than chemo and without the side effects but sadly patient's have been buffaloed and scared into using chemo and believe every word their oncologist says as though it's gospel. It's very frustrating to know I can help someone who is dying of cancer but will not listen to me and consider me a kook because I do not have an M.D. on the end of my name..
Even when doctor's know their patient is near death they'll continue to prescribe more and more chemo... it's very hard for them to let go of their cash cow. Families of cancer patients have got to be advocates for them and put a stop to the abuse prescribed by doctors.
75% of Physicians Refuse Chemo For Themselves...[Why do you think that is?]
The great lack of trust is evident even amongst doctors. Polls and questionnaires show that three doctors out of four (75 per cent) would refuse any chemotherapy because of its ineffectiveness against the disease and its devastating effects on the entire human organism. This is what many doctors and scientists have to say about chemotherapy:
“The majority of the cancer patients in this country die because of chemotherapy, which does not cure breast, colon or lung cancer. This has been documented for over a decade and nevertheless doctors still utilize chemotherapy to fight these tumors.” (Allen Levin, MD, UCSF, “The Healing of Cancer”, Marcus Books, 1990).
“If I were to contract cancer, I would never turn to a certain standard for the therapy of this disease. Cancer patients who stay away from these centers have some chance to make it.” (Prof. Gorge Mathe, “Scientific Medicine Stymied”, Medicines Nouvelles, Paris, 1989)
“Dr. Hardin Jones, lecturer at the University of California, after having analyzed for many decades statistics on cancer survival, has come to this conclusion: ‘… when not treated, the patients do not get worse or they even get better’. The unsettling conclusions of Dr. Jones have never been refuted”. (Walter Last, “The Ecologist”, Vol. 28, no. 2, March-April 1998)
“Many oncologists recommend chemotherapy for almost any type of cancer, with a faith that is unshaken by the almost constant failures”.(Albert Braverman, MD, “Medical Oncology in the 90s”, Lancet, 1991, Vol. 337, p. 901)
“Our most efficacious regimens are loaded with risks, side effects and practical problems; and after all the patients we have treated have paid the toll, only a miniscule percentage of them is paid off with an ephemeral period of tumoral regression and generally a partial one” (Edward G. Griffin World Without Cancer”, American Media Publications, 1996)
“After all, and for the overwhelming majority of the cases, there is no proof whatsoever that chemotherapy prolongs survival expectations. And this is the great lie about this therapy, that there is a correlation between the reduction of cancer and the extension of the life of the patient”.(Philip Day, “Cancer: Why we’re still dying to know the truth”, Credence Publications, 2000)
“Several full-time scientists at the McGill Cancer Center sent to 118 doctors, all experts on lung cancer, a questionnaire to determine the level of trust they had in the therapies they were applying; they were asked to imagine that they themselves had contracted the disease and which of the six current experimental therapies they would choose. 79 doctors answered, 64 of them said that they would not consent to undergo any treatment containing cis-platinum – one of the common chemotherapy drugs they used – while 58 out of 79 believed that all the experimental therapies above were not accepted because of the ineffectiveness and the elevated level of toxicity of chemotherapy.”(Philip Day, “Cancer: Why we’re still dying to know the truth”, Credence Publications, 2000)
“Doctor Ulrich Able, a German epidemiologist of the Heidelberg Mannheim Tumor Clinic, has exhaustively analyzed and reviewed all the main studies and clinical experiments ever performed on chemotherapy .... Able discovered that the comprehensive world rate of positive outcomes because of chemotherapy was frightening, because, simply, nowhere was scientific evidence available demonstrating that chemotherapy is able to ‘prolong in any appreciable way the life of patients affected by the most common type of organ cancer.’ Able highlights that rarely can chemotherapy improve the quality of life, and he describes it as a scientific squalor while maintaining that at least 80 per cent of chemotherapy administered in the world is worthless. Even if there is no scientific proof whatsoever that chemotherapy works, neither doctors nor patients are prepared to give it up.(Lancet, Aug. 10, 1991).
None of the main media has ever mentioned this exhaustive study: it has been completely buried”(Tim O’Shea, “Chemotherapy – An Unproven Procedure”)
“According to medical associations, the notorious and dangerous side effects of drugs have become the fourth main cause of death after infarction, cancer, and apoplexy” (Journal of the American Medical Association, April 15, 1998)
http://www.curenaturalicancro.com/2-physicians-refuse-chemo.html
Chemo works great for what it was designed for. Making people more sick and sucking the $$ out of their pockets. Oh, and helping reduce the population. But definitely NOT A CURE FOR CANCER.
I am hoping you are right that the awakening process is moving forward...People better get the message out there about safe alternatives before our rights to sharing on the internet is blocked and taken away. I had severe problems with my liver shutting down to RA a few years ago...My quack doctor prescribed chemo therapy to control my RA...of course throwing my liver function down the "crapper". I took myself off the chemo almost immediately and took my health into my own hands, successfully with homeopathic treatments that I had read up with on the net. My liver function is now perfect according to my lab tests this week. I am sure if I had stayed on the chemo schedule I would be very very dead now. I lost faith in so called doctors and now if there is anything badly wrong with my health, I do my homework and cure myself...I do not trust all the drugs on the market, they do more harm than good...just listening to commercials for these drugs is an education...when the side effects are worse than the ailment and usually come with a death warning...that says volumes...
