Post by Sylvia ElsePost by Reg GriswoldChemotherapy actually increases cancer growth, cancer cells becoming
resistant to treatment: Study
The cancer treatment scam that is chemotherapy has once again been
shown in the scientific literature to be a major cause of, rather than
a cure for, cancer. According to a new study recently published in the
peer-reviewed journal Nature, chemotherapy not only promotes the
growth and spread of cancer cells by damaging the healthy tissue that
surrounds tumors, but it also causes cancer cells to develop full-on
resistance to the popular treatment, morphing them into "super" cancer
cells.

"Trust us, we're experts!"
"If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what
medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as
are the souls who live under tyranny." - Thomas Jefferson
If the patient weren't given the treatment, then the cancer cells
wouldn't become resistant to the treatement that they were not getting,
but it wouldn't matter if they did, because they're not receiving it
anyway, so their lack of resistance wouldn't have mattered, though if
they had been receiving the treatment, but hadn't become resistant, then
the treatement would have worked better than it would if they had been
receiving the treatement and become resistant to it.
Got that?
OK, so undoubtedly, it's better not to receive the treatement, because
when, as will certainly, happen, the cancer kills you, you will at least
know why you died.
No, wait, that's not right either.
If you didn't receive the treatement, and thus the cancer didn't become
resistant to the treatment you weren't getting, but you didn't die, then ...
Oh, I give up.
But then "Who's on 1st?"
now for the serious side. Chemo may not be ideal, but it tends to be
better than nothing. In some types of cancers, chemo is the prefer
treatment. chemo is not used on all cancers. (fact carole doesn't
understand) some types of cancer only certain types of chemo agents
are used. (just because of the results of this study) There is not
only one type or one combination of chemo agents.
Absolutely! Each combination of drugs and scheduling is referred to as
a protocol, and the protocol for one type and/or stage is going to
differ from that for another. My particular case (CRC stage 3) called
for FOLFOX6 modified with Avastin. For someone with, say non-small-cell
lung cancer in stage 2, that is probably *not* the preferred protocol,
nor even close. I checked out the results of studies on this protocol
when it was recommended, and found that it had 30% better survival rates
(65% vs. 50%) as compared to the previously used protocol (FOLFOX4?).
Oncology is always moving forward. The experts know the treatments are
far from perfect, but they keep coming up with improvements. Alties
like to characterize conventional treatments as "cut, burn, and poison",
a surprisingly reasonable synopsis. What they miss is that these three
approaches, done properly by trained experts, are the most effective
ways to deal with cancer. If it weren't for the "cut" portion, I would
likely have died painfully within weeks, possibly days, of my diagnosis.
I didn't get any of the variations on "burn" (used for different kinds
of cancer than mine), but the "poison" phase probably made the
difference between worrying about the future and mostly just missing out
on it.

antineoplastons is chemotherapy.
When and if you are advised that you need to have chemotherapy,
please ask a professional doctor (MD type) that deals with your
specific type of cancer for the best type and best scheduling of the
therapy.
Again, I can't agree strongly enough. If you are diagnosed with cancer,
seek qualified professional advice, not witch doctors. If you really
feel the need to use some faith-based approach, fine, just don't let it
get in the way of evidence-based treatment. Alties murder patients by
luring them away from effective treatment until it's too late.
