CANCER, CHEMOTHERAPY * CHEMOTHERAPY * CHEMOTHERAPY * BIG???
Fraught with risks and side-effects:
Consider the following statement from cancer specialist, Professor Charles Mathe, who declared: "If I contracted cancer, I would never go to a standard cancer treatment centre. Cancer victims who live far from such centres have a chance." Walter Last, writing in The Ecologist, reported recently: "After analyzing cancer survival statistics for several decades, Dr Hardin Jones, Professor at the University of California, concluded "...patients are as well, or better off untreated. Jones' disturbing assessment has never been refuted."
Or what about this?
"Many medical oncologists recommend chemotherapy for virtually any tumor, with a hopefulness undiscouraged by almost invariable failure."- Albert Braverman MD 1991 Lancet 1991 337 p901 "Medical Oncology in the 90s"
Or this?
"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, or even this?
"Despite widespread use of chemotherapies, breast cancer mortality has not changed in the last 70 years"- Thomas Dao, MD NEJM Mar 1975, 292 p 707
Chemotherapy is an invasive and toxic treatment able supposedly to eliminate cancer cells. Unfortunately though, its ferocious chemistry is not able to differentiate between the cancerous cell or the healthy cell and surrounding healthy tissue. Put simply, chemotherapy is an intravenously administered poison that kills all living matter. Repeated chemotherapy and repeated radiation treatments kill the whole body by degrees. The immune system is hit particularly hard by chemotherapy and often does not recuperate enough to adequately protect from common illnesses, which can then lead to death.
Some 67% of people who die during cancer treatment do so through opportunistic infections arising as a direct result of the immune system failing because of the aggressive and toxic nature of the drugs. What is this if it is not death by doctoring?
Death on legs:
The side effects from both chemotherapy and radiation itself are extensive. They can include dizziness, skin discoloration, sensory loss, audio-visual impairment, nausea, diarrhea, loss of hair, loss of appetite, leading to malnutrition, loss of sex drive, loss of white blood cells, permanent organ damage, organ failure, internal bleeding, tissue loss, cardio-vascular leakage (artery deterioration) to name but a few. Vincristin is a commonly applied chemotherapy agent. It's side-effects include rapid heart-beat, wheezing or difficulty breathing, skin rash or swelling fever or chills, infection unusual bleeding or bruising abdominal or stomach cramps loss of movement or coordination muscle spasms fits, seizures or convulsions. The full list can be viewed at http://healthanswers.telstra.com/drugdata/appco/00070129.asp Another common drug is Actinomycin - D. The side-effects again are horrendous and can be viewed at http://www.tirgan.com/actinomy.htm They include hair-loss, anemia, low white platelet count, nausea, sickness, diarrhea and liver failure.
Two years ago, Hazel was diagnosed with breast cancer. She described her chemotherapy as the worst experience of her life. "This highly toxic fluid was being injected into my veins. The nurse administering it was wearing protective gloves because it would burn her skin if just a tiny drip came into contact with it. I couldn't help asking myself "If such precautions are needed to be taken on the outside, what is it doing to me on the inside?" From 7 pm that evening, I vomited solidly for two and a half days. During my treatment, I lost my hair by the handful, I lost my appetite, my skin color, my zest for life. I was death on legs."

We shall be hearing more from Hazel later, although under very different circumstances! It seems though that with chemotherapy, we have once again been visited by King Charles' ammonia treatment, and again being administered by the highest, most learned physicians in the land. Similarly, on the toxicity of radiation 'therapy', John Diamond noted that it was only when he began his radiation treatment that he began to feel really ill.
Senior cancer physician Dr. Charles Moertal of the Mayo Clinic in the US stated: "Our most effective regimens are fraught with risks and side-effects and practical problems; and after this price is paid by all the patients we have treated, only a small fraction are rewarded with a transient period of usually incomplete tumour regressions...."
