Are Cancer Treatments Effective - The Real Story by Lena Sanchez

Are Cancer Treatments Effective - The Real Story

© By Lena Sanchez

I do not wish this article to be discouraging and I do

offer an alternative at the end, so do not despair half

way through reading.

Let's look at the 2000 sad stats on American Healthcare's

$1.3B industry. 1 out of 3 people get cancer, 1 out of 2 get

heart disease, obesity is at epidemic levels, 70% of children

are getting hardening deposits in their arteries as early as

12 years of age. And here is the worst one of all, 62% of

accidental deaths are attributed to prescriptions. 2001 found

prescription deaths greater than illegal drug deaths. In 2000

109,000 people died from prescription drugs another 2.2

million survive but have illnesses or severe debilitation

caused by prescription use. So what does that tell you

about how well we are doing as a westernized medical

society? The figures for 2001 & 2002 aren't in yet but

believed to be even more severe.

"Deadly Medicine? Every year over 500,000 people worldwide

die from illness or organ diseased from the side effects of

pharmaceutical products," says the Journal of the American

Medical Association (JAMA). These pharmaceuticals are

used to treat the most deadly diseases known to Western

Man: heart attack, cancer, and stroke."

I shudder when reading reports like these, even though

most are from a few years back, sadly the story is that

the healing rate has not increased but actually decreased

in some areas! I wonder how many people have lost their

lives early because of money and the medical mess that

has been created by perpetuating cancer cures in the

medical community that aren't really cures but money

producers?

Harvard University's published cancer mortality for 2,000

excluded non-melanoma skin cancer, non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma,

stomach cancers and other rare cancers. Their death figures

from the top fourteen cancers were 216,700 men and 197,600

women, children were not reported. Aside from certain rare

cancers, it is impossible to detect any sudden changes in

the death rates for any of the major cancers that could be

credited to chemotherapy.

Whether any of the common cancers can be cured by

chemotherapy has yet to be established. In most common

solid tumors-lung, colon, breast, etc. chemotherapy is

NOT curative.

Why the growth in chemotherapy in the face of such failure? A

look at the financial intercourse between a large cancer center

such as Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC)

and the companies that make billions selling chemotherapy

drugs makes for revealing why.

James D. Robinson III, Honorary Chairman of the MSKCC

Board of Overseers and Managers, is a director of Bristol-Myers

Squibb, the world's largest producer of chemotherapy drugs.

Richard Gelb, Vice-Chairman of the MSKCC board is Chairman

of the Board at Bristol-Myers. Richard Furlaud, another MSKCC

board member, recently retired as Bristol Myers' president. Paul

Marks, MD, MSKCC's President and CEO, is a director of Pfizer.

Very few know that chemotherapy drugs are not FDA approved.

They are legally administered under the Rule of Probable Cause"

states that experimental drugs may be used if the side effect of

the drug is no worse than the end effect of the disease. In fact,

every chemotherapy bottle is stamped "For Experimental Use

Only" and the patient must sign a release before the doctor will

prescribe or administer it.

Multiple papers have been written stating that while some

oncologists inform their patients of the lack of evidence that

treatments work...others may well be misled by scientific papers

that express unwarranted optimism about chemotherapy. Still

others respond to an economic incentive. Physicians can earn

much more money running active chemotherapy practices
