ADVANCED HOLISTIC CANCER TREATMENT (Part 4) By Dr. Dirk Wiedbrauck M.D. & N.D. Germany
The Business of Cancer
Industry. Politics. Big money. Health care. Buying and selling. You know - life. More people living off cancer than ever died from it, and that's saying quite a lot since by the 1990s the amount spent for cancer research and treatment had jumped to $80 billion annually. But by this time more than 500,000 deaths per year in the U.S. were attributable to cancer, now second only to heart disease on the list of killer diseases. All this money has not improved the overall chances of survival from cancer even slightly.
Many cancer patients feel they're just a mark, a number, an insurance account.
The goal of every visit seems to be running up the bill, not improving their overall health.
The American Cancer Society, for example, collects upwards of $400 million per year. Very little of this money ever finds its way to research. The majority of the money goes into investments and towards administration - lavish salaries and perqs for the Society's officers and employees. A funny thing is that written into the charter of the American Cancer Society is the clause that states that if a cure for cancer is ever found, on that day, the Society will disband (The Cancer Industry). So think about it — is this an organization that is going to be motivated to find a cure for cancer?
This is the underlying reality, but what do we hear on the surface, coming at us every day from the scripted "reporting" of TV and news publications, or from the lips of the oncologists making their reassuring pronouncements on the outlook for our loved ones' chances of survival? We're "making progress." "Early detection" is giving us a much better chance of "getting it all" by means of immediate surgery or by chemotherapy and radiation. Then after surgery they tell us we need to do chemo to put "the icing on the cake." Frightened to death, and having nowhere else to turn, people have bought this company line for years and years. As a result, they have been dying on schedule. But then, why would people be told the truth? The goal of big money is big money. Finding a cure? Why on earth would anyone want to do that?
But there's a limit to everything, even with the stranglehold on information that is permitted to reach the purview of the general public. More and more of us have watched our parents or our friends die wretched deaths, as all the 'big guns' were pompously wheeled out, with the hospital happily billing the insurance until coverage runs out. And some of us are saying Wait a minute, this isn't about money - this is about my life. And people are deciding to take their chances without standard slash-and-burn protocols, either by just staying home and doing nothing, or else by experimentation with alternative therapies, which have always been there all these years, just below the surface.
Chemotherapy
Considering chemotherapy? Consider this:
"Chemotherapy is basically ineffective in the vast of majority of cases in which it is given"
– Ralph Moss, PhD
"Cancer researchers, medical journals, and the popular media all have contributed to a situation in which many people with common malignancies are being treated with drugs not known to be effective."
– Dr. Martin Shapiro UCLA
"Despite widespread use of chemotherapies, breast cancer mortality has not changed in the last 70 years"
– Thomas Dao, MD NEJM Mar 1975
"Many medical oncologists recommend chemotherapy for virtually any tumor, with a hopefulness undiscouraged by almost invariable failure."
– Albert Braverman MD 1991 Lancet 1991 "Medical Oncology in the 90s"
"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"
Let's say you get cancer — in America it's 1 in 3. Your doctor says you need chemo and sends you to an office in the hospital. You have no symptoms yet, no pain, and you feel fine. But you're very frightened. You walk into the office and everyone else there is in obvious pain and most of them are dying. It's like a scene from a horror movie. Your first instinct is to run: I'm not like them! I'm alive! What am I doing here?
Then ask yourself this: in your entire life, how often have your true instincts been wrong?
