ADVANCED HOLISTIC CANCER TREATMENT (Part 2) By Dr. Dirk Wiedbrauck M.D. & N.D. Germany
Oncologists tell their patients:
"The only chance for you is chemotherapy and or radiation." What a lie!
According to an analysis and estimate conducted by De Vita, director of the National Cancer Institute, Bethesda (USA), and cancer patients can be cured as follows:
28% by local surgery 11.5% by radiation and 5.8% by applying systemic or loco-regional chemotherapy
If the tumor was not appropriate for surgical removal or, if metastases had spread, only approximately 1.8% of all cancer patients could be cured by chemotherapy.
A considerable lengthening of the life span by more then two years caused by chemotherapeutical measures could be recorded only for 3.2% of the said cancer patients.
One patient told me some years ago that his oncologist had advised him to save his money and take a holiday instead. It would be his last anyway.
Today he is still alive — unbelievably — in good health and full of vitality. If we look to mortality statistics all over the world, we cannot fail to include in the treatment any other therapy then chemotherapy or radiation, even if this is only effective in a single case.
It is well known that a healthy person's immune system can normally cope with at least one million tumor cells. Why at the most important stage, after a successful operation, is he treated with toxic and immunosuppressive substances which paralyze his body's own defense system instead of rebuilding it, so it is able to destroy any remaining tumor cells?
Chemotherapy alters, blocks or covers the coupling mechanisms on the receptors of tumor cells which, being thus disguised, do not respond any longer to any immune therapy. Radiation treatment weakens the immune system even further. Even if the fatal effect is not immediate why most of the patients are sent home after such worse deals with the words:" We are sorry, your body can't stand any more. We've done all we can to help you."
The patient feels abandoned and is deeply hurt, because he had been told that chemotherapy and/or radiation was the only chance.
Especially now, in this situation, he needs sympathy and moral support. "Fully treated"- its tragedy is worse then the diagnosis itself. The patient is sent home without any idea what to do, with the words:” Come back for a check up in 3 months time." That brings to mind the comment:" Doctor I felt better after the last examination." What does this check up really mean when we take a closer look? Let us see if you have got a new tumor! Why are only the white and red blood cells examined, platelets, hemoglobin and the liver transaminases? Why not the immune system too? This examination in particular shows defects very early and at a stage when the immune system can still be repaired and respond to an appropriate treatment that enhances the immune system?
Some examples of what Vitamins are able to do. Vitamin A reduces the risk of lung cancer by 50 percent, Vitamin E prevents breast cancer from developing by 54 percent. Vitamin D reduces the tumor volume. It has been proven that the trace elements zinc, lithium and others are needed by the immune system to increase its cell account, the motility and aggression of the various defense cells. Why do clinics stonewall this indisputable fact? I refuse to believe that a doctor could behave like this. I rather suppose that this behavior is a result of his medical training, which requires him to act in a scientific manner and that his colleagues will only respect him if he does the “right, i.e. traditional, thing”. To improve on doing “the right thing” and do the “best thing” takes decades of experience. I know a lot of colleagues who treat their patients secretly with the “best thing”. These are the ones who care about the patients who have completed their stay in hospital, “fully treated”, and feel ethically and morally responsible for them.
OK, so you've finally said No more - whatever happens will happen. You've refused further standard cancer treatment because you've found out either through research or through personal experience, that for the vast majority of cancer cases, it just doesn't work. People's last months are made miserable with no upside.
So there you are, without a net. Guess what? There never was one. So forget the politics of hospitals and insurance. You may feel that they ran their game on you and the required funds were transferred from one account to another in some data base somewhere, and here you are sitting at home looking out the window.
A good warrior must always assess his present position, evaluate his losses and assets, and move forward. So what have you got? Well, you're alive. Maybe they predicted that you wouldn't make it this long or else you've got X amount of time to live. Who cares? You're
no longer on their agenda, so now your calendar's wide open. You refuse to die on schedule.
What else have you got? Well, you still have some kind of immune system left, or else you'd be dead. What's an immune system? It's a complicated system of cells and biological reactions which the body employs to ward off invaders and to prevent its own cells from deteriorating or mutating. The immune system is responsible for recognizing foreign proteins and cells and for triggering an attack against them. The immune system is involved with a never-ending second-by-second check of all your cells to see if they still look like the rest of you. If they don't, they're immediately destroyed.
Most researchers, including Nobel prize winner Sir MacFarlane Burnet, feel that in the normal body hundreds of cancer cells appear every day. These mutating cells are simply destroyed by the normal immune system and never cause a problem. Cancer only proliferates when a failing immune system begins to allow abnormal cells to slip by without triggering an attack on them. That's how you got cancer.
So looking at it this way, a tumor is a symptom, not a problem. A symptom of a failing immune system. Cancer is a general condition that localizes rather than a local condition which generalizes.
Most cancers are not found until autopsy. That's because they never caused any symptoms. For example 30 - 40 times as many cases of thyroid, pancreatic, and prostate cancer are found in autopsy than ever presented to the doctor. According to a study cited in top British medical journal Lancet 13 Feb 93, early screening often leads to unnecessary treatment: 33% of autopsies show prostate cancer but only 1% die from it.
After age 75, half of males may have prostate cancer, but only 2% die from it. This means simply that the immune system can hold many problems in check, as long as it is not compromised by powerful procedures. Guess which system is the most important to you at this time, more than it's ever been before in your whole life. Right - the immune system. Guess which system suffers most from chemotherapy and radiation. Right again. So the one time in your life you most need it, your immune system will be weakened by those therapies. If you're one of the few cancer patients who's refused standard treatment from the get-go - good, but your immune system still needs all the help you can give it.
A 1992 study in Journal of the American Medical Association of 223 patients concluded that no treatment at all for prostate cancer actually was better than any standard chemotherapy, radiation or surgical procedure. (Johansson)
