Re: How Effective is Chemotherapy?

[Guest guest]

Here is a article I saved some time back on Chemo, and thought it good

to share here.

WHAT DRS WHO PRESCRIBE CHEMO THINK OF IT.

Important quotes from some of the leading cancer experts in conventional

medicine and natural medicine. These quotes give us a idea of what

professionals who deal with cancer every day, really think.

CHEMOTHERAPY QUOTES

" Two to 4% of cancers respond to chemotherapy….The bottom line is

for a few kinds of cancer chemo is a life extending

procedure---Hodgkin's disease, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL),

Testicular cancer, and Choriocarcinoma. " ----Ralph Moss, Ph.D. 1995

Author of Questioning Chemotherapy.

" NCI now actually anticipates further increases, and not decreases, in

cancer mortality rates, from 171/100,000 in 1984 to 175/100,000 by the

year 2000! " -- Epstein.

" A study of over 10,000 patients shows clearly that chemo's

supposedly strong track record with Hodgkin's disease (lymphoma) is

actually a lie. Patients who underwent chemo were 14 times more likely

to develop leukemia and 6 times more likely to develop cancers of the

bones, joints, and soft tissues than those patients who did not undergo

chemotherapy (NCI Journal 87:10). " - Diamond

Children who are successfully treated for Hodgkin's disease are 18 times

more likely later to develop secondary malignant tumours. Girls face a

35 per cent chance of developing breast cancer by the time they are

40----which is 75 times greater than the average. The risk of leukemia

increased markedly four years after the ending of successful treatment,

and reached a plateau after 14 years, but the risk of developing solid

tumours remained high and approached 30 per cent at 30 years (New Eng J

Med, March 21, 1996)

" Success of most chemotherapy is appalling…There is no scientific

evidence for its ability to extend in any appreciable way the lives of

patients suffering from the most common organic cancer…chemotherapy

for malignancies too advanced for surgery which accounts for 80% of all

cancers is a scientific wasteland. " ---Dr Ulrich Abel. 1990

The New England Journal of Medicine Reports- War on Cancer Is a Failure:

Despite $30 billion spent on research and treatments since 1970, cancer

remains " undefeated, " with a death rate not lower but 6% higher in 1997

than 1970, stated C. Bailar III, M.D., Ph.D., and L.

Gornik, M.H.S., both of the Department of Health Studies at the

University of Chicago in Illinois. " The war against cancer is far from

over, " stated Dr. Bailar. " The effect of new treatments for cancer on

mortality has been largely disappointing. "

" My studies have proved conclusively that untreated cancer victims live

up to four times longer than treated individuals. If one has cancer and

opts to do nothing at all, he will live longer and feel better than if

he undergoes radiation, chemotherapy or surgery, other than when used in

immediate life-threatening situations. " ---Prof . (1956 Transactions

of the N.Y. Academy of Medical Sciences, vol 6. There is a fifty page

article by Hardin of National Cancer Institute of Bethesda,

land. He surveyed global cancer of all types and compared the

untreated and the treated, to conclude that the untreated outlives the

treated, both in terms of quality and in terms of quantity. Secondly he

said, " Cancer does not cure " . Third he said " There is a physiological

mechanism which finishes off an individual " .)

" With some cancers, notably liver, lung, pancreas, bone and advanced

breast, our 5 year survival from traditional therapy alone is virtually

the same as it was 30 years ago. " ---P Quillin, Ph.D.

Studies show that women taking tamoxifen after surviving breast cancer

then have a high propensity to develop endometrial cancer. The NCI and

Zeneca Pharmaceuticals, which makes the drug, aggressively lobbied State

of California regulators to keep them from adding tamoxifen to their

list of carcinogens. Zeneca is one of the sponsors of Breast Cancer

Awareness Month.

" 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 tumours…Women with breast cancer

are likely to die faster with chemo than without it. " -Alan Levin, M.D.

It stopped my rare and dangerous prostate cancer (cisplatin and etoposide).

My cancer was last observed over 2 years ago and kills 99.9% of men.

After chemo, I jumped on the Johanna Budwig diet regimen to insure the

cancer is gone and stays gone.

A quick note to ,

I would suggest you get a book by Lothar Hirneise -

Chemotherapy Heals Cancer And The World is Flat

Amazon book link - http://tinyurl.com/akqmfv

This is a great book loaded with very relevant information.

My best to you,

Pat
