Over $1 TRILLION a year is spent on medical treatment in America.

Over $100 BILLION of this was spent on cancer treatment.

The average cost of cancer treatment is well over $100,000 per person.

This year well over 1.5 million Americans will develop cancer, and over

600, 000 of them will die from it, which means that in the last 5 years.

Medical treatment is America's biggest business, representing over 15%

of the entire nation's Gross National Product.

The GAO (General Accounting Office of the United States Government) has

stated in numerous reports that in spite of increased usage of

chemotherapy by medical doctors and hospitals in the treatment of cancer

that they cannot find any statistical data that suggests it has any

effectiveness in prolonging life.

The New England Journal of Medicine reports, War on cancer is a failure:

despite $30 billion spent on research since 1970, cancer remains

" undefeated " , with a death rate not lower but actually higher than when

they started. The failure of chemotherapy to control cancer has become

apparent even to the oncology establishment.

According to the PDR (Physicians Desk Reference), the top 10

chemotherapy drugs used in the USA all list CANCER AS A SIDE EFFECT to

using them. In fact, statiscally, more cancer patients die from

chemotherapy treatment than of the cancer.

Alan C. Nixon, PhD, past president of the American Chemical Society,

wrote, " As a chemist trained to interpret data, it is incomprehensible

to me that physicians can ignore the clear evidence that chemotherapy

does much, much more harm than good. "

The Los Angeles Times reported that over 75% of the oncologists polled

said that if they had cancer they would never use the same chemotherapy

they prescribe for their patients on themselves because of the

ineffectiveness of chemotherapy and its unacceptable degree of toxicity.

In 1990 $3.53 billion was spent on chemotherapy and by 1994 that figure

had more than doubled to $7.51 billion. Why the growth in chemotherapy

in the face of such failure? Even the Federal Government has launched

studies into this suggesting possible corruption.

A look at the financial interrelationships between large cancer centers,

for instance Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (considered the

finest cancer research center in the world) and the companies that make

billions manufacturing and selling chemotherapy drugs is revealing.

III, Chairman of the MSKCC Board of Overseers and

Managers, is also a director of Bristol-Myers Squibb, THE WORLD'S

LARGEST PRODUCER OF CHEMOTHERAPY DRUGS.

Gelb, Vice-Chairman of the MSKCC board, is Bristol-Myers

Chairman of the Board.

Furlaud, another MSKCC board member, recently retired as

Bristol-Myers' president.

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

Pharmaceuticals.

S. , also a chairman at MSKCC, is also the director of

Tobacco Company.

AARP, the self proclaimed " watchdog " for the elderly, in the year 2000,

received payments of $4 BILLION from their DISCOUNT DRUG PLANS and their

MEDICAL INSURANCE PROGRAMS.

Dr. Allan Greenberg said on 12/24/2002, " As a retired physician, I can

honestly say that unless you are in a serious accident, YOUR BEST CHANCE

OF LIVING TO A RIPE OLD AGE IS TO AVOID DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS AND LEARN

NUTRITION, HERBAL MEDICINE AND OTHER FORMS OF NATURAL MEDICINE. Almost

all drugs are toxic and are designed only to treat symptoms and not to

cure anyone. Most surgery is unnecessary. In short, our mainstream

medical system is hopelessly inept and/or corrupt. THE TREATMENT OF

CANCER AND DEGENERATIVE DISEASES IS A NATIONAL SCANDAL. The sooner you

learn this, the better off you will be. "

Have a good day,

This is not surprising at all!

And I really liked this part:

" According to the PDR (Physicians Desk Reference), the top 10

chemotherapy drugs used in the USA all list CANCER AS A SIDE EFFECT

to using them. In fact, statiscally, more cancer patients die from

chemotherapy treatment than of the cancer. "

As well as this:

" The Los Angeles Times reported that over 75% of the oncologists

polled said that if they had cancer they would never use the same

chemotherapy they prescribe for their patients on themselves because

of the ineffectiveness of chemotherapy and its unacceptable degree of

toxicity. "

I think they call it *job security*.
