The Four Optional Modes Of Cancer Therapy.
An excerpt from World Without Cancer by Edward Griffin
There has been an enormous undertaking of cancer research to develop anti-cancer drugs for use in the management of neoplastic diseases in man. However, progress has been slow, and no chemical agents capable of inducing a general curative effect on disseminated forms of cancer have yet been developed.
If it is true that Orthodox chemotherapy is (1) toxic, (2)
immunosuppressant, (3) carcinogenic, and (4) futile, then why would doctors
continue to use it? The answer is that they don't know what else to do. Patients
usually are not scheduled into chemotherapy unless their condition seems so
hopeless that the loss of life appears to be inevitable anyway. Some doctors
refer to this stage, not as therapy, but experimentation, which, frankly, is a
more honest description.
Another reason for using drugs in the treatment of cancer is that the
doctor does not like to tell the patient there is no hope. In his own mind he
knows there is none, but he also knows that the patient does not want to hear
that and will seek another physician who will continue some kind of treatment,
no matter how useless. So he solves the problem by continuing the treatment
himself. In his book The Wayward Cell, Cancer, Dr. Victor Richards made it clear
that chemotherapy is used primarily just to keep the patient returning for
treatment and to build his morale while he dies. But there is more! He said:
Nevertheless, chemotherapy serves an extremely valuable role in keeping
patients oriented toward proper medical therapy, and prevents the feeling of
being abandoned by the physician in patients with late and hopeless cancers.
Judicious employment and screening of potentially useful drugs may also prevent
the spread of cancer quackery. [Emphasis added.]
Heaven forbid that anyone should forsake the nauseating, pain-racking, cancer-spreading, admittedly ineffective "proven cures" for such "quackery" as Laetrile! Here, at last, is revealed the true goal of much of the so-called "educational" programs of orthodox medicine-psychologically to condition people not to try any other forms of therapy. That is why they perpetuate the myth of "proven cures."
The American Cancer Society, in its Unproven Methods of Cancer
Management, stated:
When one realizes that 1,500,000 Americans are alive today because
they went to their doctors in time, and that the proven treatments of radiation
and surgery are responsible for these cures, he is less likely to take a chance
with a questionable practitioner or an unproven treatment.1
Before leaving the subject of cancer therapy and moving on to the field of cancer research, let us clarify and summarize our findings so far. Here is a brief outline of the four optional modes of cancer therapy:
SURGERY: Least harmful. Sometimes a life-saving, stop-gap meas-ure. No evidence that patients who receive radical or extensive surgi-cal options live any longer than those who receive the most conservative options, or, for that matter, those who receive none at all. Believed to increase the likelihood of disseminating cancer to other locations. When dealing with internal tumors affecting reproductive or vital organs, the statistical rate of long-term survival is, on the average, 10-15%. After metastasis, the statistical chances for long-term survival are close to zero. Click here to learn more about surgeries and biopsies.RADIOLOGY: Very harmful in many ways. Spreads the cancer and weakens the patient's resistance to other diseases. Serious and painful side-effects, including heart failure. No evidence that treated patients live any longer, on the average, than those not treated. Statistical rate of long-term survival after metastasis is close to zero.
CHEMOTHERAPY: Also spreads the cancer through weakening of immunological defense mechanism plus general toxicity. Leaves patient susceptible to other diseases and infections, often leading to death from these causes. Extremely serious side-effects. No evidence that treated patients live any longer, on the average, than untreated patients. Statistical rate of long-term survival after metastasis is close to zero.
VITAMIN B17 THERAPY: Non-toxic. Side effects include increased ap-petite, weight gain, lowered blood pressure, increased hemoglobin and red-blood cell count. Eliminates or sharply reduces pain without narcotics. Builds up body's resistance to other diseases. Is a natural substance found in foods and is compatible with human biological experience. Destroys cancer cells while nourishing non-cancer cells.
