fw from another list: CHEMOTHERAPY, ETC.
According to this article, chemotherapy s far more dangerous than most people suspect. Since the article is so long, I have brought forth some startling exerpts. ---Gerard ----------------------------------------- http://www.whatareweswallowing.freeserve.co.uk/deathbydoctoring1.htm "Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy does not eliminate breast, colon, or lung cancers. This fact has been documented for over a decade, yet doctors still use chemotherapy for these tumors." - Allen Levin, MD UCSF The Healing of Cancer Walter Last, writing in The Ecologist, reported recently: "After analyzing cancer survival statistics for several decades, Dr Hardin Jones, Professor at the University of California, concluded, '...patients are as well, or better off untreated [by chemotherapy].' Jones' disturbing assessment has never been refuted." [6] "Many medical oncologists recommend chemotherapy for virtually any tumor, with a hopefulness undiscouraged by almost invariable failure."- Albert Braverman MD 1991 Lancet 1991 337 p901 "Medical Oncology in the 90s" "Despite widespread use of chemotherapies, breast cancer mortality has not changed in the last 70 years"- Thomas Dao, MD NEJM Mar 1975 292 p 707 ------ Dr Ralph Moss is the author of 'The Cancer Industry' - a shocking expose of the world of conventional cancer politics and practice. Interviewed live on the Laurie Lee show in 1994, Moss stated: "In the end, there is no proof that chemotherapy actually extends life in the vast majority of cases , and this is the great lie about chemotherapy, that somehow there is a correlation between shrinking a tumor and extending the life of a patient." [9] --------- To make sure he had reviewed everything ever published on chemotherapy, Abel sent letters to over 350 medical centers around the world asking them to send him anything they had published on the subject. Abel researched thousands of articles: it is unlikely that anyone in the world knows more about chemotherapy than he. The analysis took him several years, but the results are astounding: Abel found that the overall worldwide success rate of chemotherapy was "appalling" because there was simply no scientific evidence available anywhere that chemotherapy can "extend in any appreciable way the lives of patients suffering from the most common organic cancers." ---------- Surely, one significant factor is our hereditary submissive attitude to the medical orthodoxy and its archetypal symbolism -- the white coat, the stethoscope, the years of knowledge represented in those framed diplomas. Every artefact speaks of us being in the hands of experts. And then, there is the added pressure that can be exerted upon the patient at the point of diagnosis by the cancer physician. --------- Most definitely, the power imbalance that exists in all doctor-patient relationships, (whence the term 'shrink' in psychiatry) is a key agent in determining the direction of treatment. -------- According to medical doctors associations, the known dangerous side-effects of pharmaceutical drugs have become the fourth leading cause of death after heart attacks, cancer, and strokes (Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA April 15, 1998 ) -------------- >From top to bottom, 21st century medicine is being bought and taught to think of all medical treatment in terms of pharmaceutical intervention only. ----------- The Campaign Against Fraudulent Medical Research states: "The next time you are asked to donate to a cancer organization, bear in mind that your money will be used to sustain an industry which has been deemed by many eminent scientists as a qualified failure and by others, as a complete fraud." --------- As mentioned earlier, with global spending on conventional cancer running into the hundreds of billions annually, a naturally-occurring cancer cure of any description is an unwanted intruder. Dr Moss again, on the money involved in conventional cancer: Moss: "About 630,000 people die every year of cancer in the US, and it really is an epidemic disease. We have got a tremendous industry. Every one of those people who is getting cancer and dying of it is going to be treated, and these treatments are extremely expensive. Chemo is tens of thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars. A bone marrow transplant, which is basically another way of giving chemotherapy, or radiation, can run to about $150,000 per person, and is almost never effective. It kills about 25% of the patients." Lee: "Why carry on doing it?" Moss: " Because of the money, which is tremendous." [25] -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
