Confessions of a Cancer Industry Insider

Twenty Year Veteran: "This is a
multi-billion dollar per year industry and a "cure" would put a lot of people
out of work."
by Geraldine Philips http://www.henrymakow.com/by_geraldine_philips_henrymako.html
I work for a "cancer research center" and I call it this only because that is in
their actual name.
I have seen and read things that boggle the mind in the so-called treatment of
folks over the years. The only explanation that I can offer is that once the "C"
word comes into the conversation people become deaf and dumb to anything but
what course to take to rid themselves of this horrible plague.
Treatment is akin to using leaches...and worse...but at a far far far greater
price. Walk in without insurance coverage and see how much treatment you get.
Cap out your existing coverage in the middle of treatment...and treatment
ceases. Immediately. This is and probably always has been about money.
I keep telling people to stop giving money to the "cancer research" because no
one is frigging looking for a cure (we have several and they have been carefully
hidden away from public view)...this is a multi-billion dollar per year industry
and a "cure" would put a lot of people out of work.
NO ONE is seriously looking for a cure...at least not "serious academics"...the
fringe nut cases are but of course those are the people who went into medicine
as a means to help humanity and not become richer than god by next Thursday so
that is a completely separate issue.
I have worked in the medical field for over 20 years, most of which has been
closely associated with cancer research and treatment...when I was personally
diagnosed with breast cancer, about 7 years ago, I was living in Phoenix. So, of
course, I was referred to CTC post haste. CTC has the state mandate to treat
cancer patients, with or without insurance and to this end gets large sums of
money from the state to treat indigents.
That does not happen. Indigents get turfed. Quickly. Also, at one point I became
suspicious of some physicians at CTC and did my own research...I found Ph.D
researchers doing hands on breast and pelvic exams...researchers with no
clinical training or experience. Does that matter? Ask your wife or sister or
mother if they mind if a non doctor researcher does that? Probably they will say
yes.
There was also a very long list of physicians who were in the country (not as
students) who had not passed medical boards as required for all practicing
physicians. They had been practicing for years and had no medical license. There
were American doctors who had not passed medical boards, i.e. were not licensed
physicians who were also practicing at CTC...they were treating patients (NOT as
a student with faculty overview, independently), they were dispensing drugs...if
they are not licensed physicians they are also not licensed to dispense anything
stronger than aspirin)...but they were writing prescriptions and ordering
medications including chemotherapy medications for patients unsupervised.
There were even unlicensed physicians who were doing surgery. (not only at CTC
either). Unlicensed physicians are also filing insurance claims and if they are
not licensed, filing an insurance claim for services rendered is fraud of the
highest magnitude. I did my research well and I had lists of names and dates and
the newspaper blew me off and would not cover the story. The TV stations did
likewise. CTC buys a lot of advertising time and no one was willing to rock the
boat on those advertising dollars. What a shock.
Held hostage? YOU BET...and you have no idea the depth to which this extends.
Personally, I chose to not have surgery, not have chemotherapy and not have
radiation (what and lose my waist length hair? I do not think so!)...I used
Essiac...to excellent response and still have all the associated body parts (and
the hair).
CONCLUSION
When you talk about being held hostage by cancer, you need to back up to the
original diagnosis. Do you...or most folks...have any means to know or
understand a diagnosis that you are given?
NO? What a surprise. So...you are totally at the mercy of the hospital. When a
doctor says cancer, you assume that he/she knows what they are talking about...a
faulty assumption in some cases...and you assume that they know what is best to
treat it...another faulty assumption.
The major industry that hospitals sell is not healing...it is education (or lack
thereof) and blind faith in something you do not understand. This is true of
lots of diagnoses besides cancer, it is just that cancer is the big money maker
for most facilities...secondary to obesity which is coming up fast.
Hospitals are scary places for lots of reasons and mistakes are vastly more
common than what you read or hear about. Everyone makes mistakes of
course...doctors bury theirs...with the full knowledge and corporate cover up of
the hospital administration. I can't wait to retire.
