STATISTICAL FACTS ON CANCER IN THE U.S.
“For the first time, cancer has surpassed heart disease as the top killer of Americans under 85…” (American Cancer Society’s annual report released in January 2005).
In all age groups, cancer incidence is increasing (...,) few new, effective treatments have been devised for the most common cancers." Journal of American Medical Association (February 9, 1994).
“35 years of intense efforts on cancer treatments have been a blatant failure” (New England Journal of Medicine, Volume 314).
EPIDEMIOLOGICAL EVIDENCE ON THE STATE OF AMERICAN MEDICINE
IN 1999:The Health care system also may contribute to poor health through its adverse effects. (…). These total to 225,000 deaths per year from iatrogenic causes (...) If the higher estimates are used, the deaths due to iatrogenic causes would range from 230,000 to 284,000. In any case, 225,000 deaths per year constitutes the third leading cause of death in the United States, after deaths from heart disease and cancer” (Journal of American Medical Association. “Is the US Health really the best in the World ?” (JAMA. 2000:284:483-485): Doctor and Professor Barbara Starfield, (MD, MPH):
IN 2004: “Something is wrong when regulatory agencies pretend that vitamins are dangerous, yet ignore published statistics showing that government-sanctioned medicine is the real hazard. Until now, Life Extension could cite only isolated statistics to make its case about the dangers of conventional medicine. No one had ever analyzed and combined all of the published literature dealing with injuries and deaths caused by government-protected medicine. That has now changed. A group of researchers meticulously reviewed the statistical evidence and their findings are absolutely shocking. These researches have authored a paper titled “Death by Medicine” that presents compelling evidence that today’s system frequently causes more harm than good. This fully referenced report shows the number of people having in hospital, adverse reactions to prescribed drugs to be 2.2 million per year. The number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections is 20 million per year. The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million per year. The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million per year. The most stunning statistic, however, that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US (By contrast, the number of deaths attributable to heart disease in 2001 was 699, 697 while the number of deaths attributable to cancer was 553,251. ” Dr Gary Null (PhD), Carolyn Dean Md, ND, Martin Feldman, MD, Debora Rasio, MD and Dorothy Smith PhD et al, Life Extension, March 2004).
IN 2006. "About 1.5 million Americans are injured each year because of errors in their medications, an Institute of Medicine (IOM) report concluded (on July 20, 2006). The report estimates that such errors in hospitals alone cost the health system well over $3.5 billion per year. That does not include errors made at doctors' offices, pharmacies, long-term care facilities, and in patients' own homes.
TESTIMONIAL EVIDENCE FROM A FEW EXPERTS ON THE LIMITS OF ALLOPATHIC MEDICINE
1. EXPERT TESTIMONY ONE FROM CHIEF ONCOLOGIST PATHOLOGIST:
"Individuals with cancer suffer twice: first with fear and suffering caused by their disease and second from the ravages of a malignant system that forces toxic drugs of dubious value on frightened and gullible people". (2006) Majid Ali, M.D., author of integrative oncology. Dr. Ali is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and was formerly the chief pathologist of Holy Name Hospital, Teaneck, NJ.)
2. EXPERT TESTIMONY TWO: Dr Sporn, in Lancet
"Failture to appreciate that local invasion and distant metastasis rather then cell proliferation itself are lethal, obsession with cure of advanced disease rather than prevention of early disease, and neglect of the need to arrest pre-neoplastic lesions may all have served to make victory elusive". Dr Sporn. The War on Cancer, Lancet. 1996; 347: 1377-1381.
3 & 4. EXPERT PEER-REVIEWED MAINSTREAM TESTIMONIES THREE & FOUR: FROM THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND THE N.E.J.M.
"In all age groups, cancer incidence is increasing (...,) few new, effective treatments have been devised for the most common cancers." Journal of American Medical Association (February 9, 1994)…. “35 years of intense efforts on cancer treatments have been a blatant failure” (New England Journal of Medicine, Volume 314).
5. EXPERT TESTIMONY FROM A NOVA SCOTIA ONCOLOGIST
“I suddenly had this vision about all of us being a bit like the orchestra on the Titanic, pretending everything's okay for our patients, putting on a front for the patients, but I think the ship's about to go under. (…) Insufficient coverage meant staff had less time with individual patients, had to forgo lunch and breaks, work late and had little or limited time for other professional activities, such as education or research, which they saw as necessary for regeneration" Dr. Eva Grunfeld, a researcher at Dalhousie University and the Nova Scotia Cancer Centre Grunfeld E. Zitzelsberger L, Coristine M, et al. “Job stress and job satisfaction of cancer care workers, Psychooncology. 2005;14:61-9.
6 & 7. EXPERT TESTIMONIES FROM DRS DIAMOND AND COWDEN
"To the cancer establishment, a cancer patient is a profit center. The actual clinical and scientific evidence does not support the claims of the cancer industry. Conventional cancer treatments are in place as the law of the land because they pay, not heal, the best. Decades of the politics-of-cancer-as-usual have kept you from knowing this, and will continue to do so unless you wake up to their reality."
John Diamond, M.D. & Lee Cowden, M.D.
8. EXPERT WITNESS TESTIMONY FROM DR WARNER. One of the best "cam" oncologist in the Seattle area who lost his license for having practiced immunotherapy via cam.
"Chemotherapy is an incredibly lucrative business for doctors, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies…..The medical establishment wants everyone to follow the same exact protocol. They don’t want to see the chemotherapy industry go under, and that’s the number one obstacle to any progress in oncology."
Dr Warner, M.D.
9. EXPERT TESTIMONY FROM DR NEIPER, one of the better known oncology in Europe who practices CAM oncology, including, but not limited to the "illegal" cesium chloride protocol.
"You wouldn’t believe how many FDA officials or relatives or acquaintances of FDA officials come to see me as patients in Hanover. You wouldn’t believe this, or directors of the AMA, or ACA, or the presidents of orthodox cancer institutes. That’s the fact."
Hans Nieper M.D.
10. EXPERT TESTIMONY FROM DR ALAN NIXON, former president of the American Chemical Society
"...as a chemist trained to interpret data, it is incomprehensible to me that physicians can ignore the clear evidence that chemotherapy does much, much more harm than good." - Alan C Nixon, PhD, former president of the American Chemical Society
11. EXPERT EVIDENCE from Dr. Moss, one of the leading cam specialists
"In the end, there is no proof that chemotherapy in the vast majority of cases actually extends life. This is the GREAT LIE about chemotherapy, that somehow there is a correlation between shrinking a tumor and extending the life of a patient." Dr Ralph Moss, former Assistant Director of Public Relations at leading American cancer research facility Memorial Sloan Kettering, NY
12. EXPERT EVIDENCE FROM DR CHARLES MATHE, one of the leading oncologists in France
"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." - Professor Charles Mathe, French cancer specialist
13. “Cancer research is a fraud", Dr Linus Pauling (Twice Nobel Prize laureat
14. EXPERT EYE-WITNESS DR EPSTEIN:
Dr. Samuel Epstein is professor emeritus of environmental medicine at the University of Illinois School of Public Health, and Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition (www.preventcancer.com). He has published some 260 peer reviewed articles, and authored or co-authored 10 books. In this testimony, he talks about common "chemo" agents.
First of all, animal and dairy products are highly contaminated with a wide range of pesticides and other industrial, chemical carcinogens. Take meat for instance. Apart from the pesticides and industrial carcinogens, you have the sex hormones. Because cattle in feedlots, 100 days to slaughter, are implanted with sex hormones such as estradiol in their ear, and from which high residues are left in the meat that you eat. These are very important risk factors for reproductive cancers—testicular cancers in men, breast cancers in women, and leukemia in children.
Children love hotdogs. Hotdogs are dyed pink and red with nitrite, and the nitrite reacts with certain amines—chemicals naturally present in food—to produce highly potent carcinogens, known as nitrosamines. We have the chemical data showing that nitrosamines are found in nitrite-dyed hot dogs, and we also have what’s called epidemiological studies on children showing that children who eat nitrite in their dyed hotdogs—which are the standard hotdog—have up to about a three- to four-fold increased incidence of brain cancer, and about a six to seven-fold increase incidence of leukemia. Apart from that, most of the milk in the country is contaminated. It comes from cows that have been injected with a genetically engineered growth hormone to increase their production of milk, and this hormone increases levels of a natural growth factor, known as IGF1. So the milk becomes supercharged by this growth factor, which in high levels has been clearly associated with breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer".
SO THE NEXT QUESTION IS WHY DO ONCOLOGISTS STILL PRESCRIBE DUBIOUS CHEMOTHERAPY ?
