Cancer, various tissues

Since putting this section up, I have done extensive research on cancer and have uncovered two very useful treatments, one of aspirin the other of ascorbate (Vitamin C). Also since this site, I have developed a new set of sections, all of which have "r" for "recommended, in their html address. There are 2 articles summation of cancer and what I would do if I had it. The long one is at /rh. I would also starve cancer, which for some cures terminal cancer at /rcdm .

2016 December British Medical Journal article confirms my dismal assessment of 90% of chemotherapies reproduced at http://healthfully.org/cat/id6.html

THIS ANALYSIS IS APPLICABLE TO CHEMOTHERAPIES WHICH DON’T CURE CANCERS—ABOUT 90% OF THE VARIOUS CHEMOTHERAPIES DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO CURE TERMINAL PATIENTS. Over-and-over again in reviewing the trade news there were articles covering NICE (UK drug regulatory agency) refusal to approve a new chemotherapy for their formulary, though they were approved for the US market. NICE’s reason is that their price does not justifying the modest life extension in terminal patients (normally average under 3 months in the trial on terminal patients): there are better allocations of budget dollars. This is very trouble, since the trials are on terminal patients, but for most cancers the majority of patients when treatment is started are not terminal. There is good reason to believe that 1) the chemotherapy will not reduce the number of patient who will progress from stages 1-3 cancers who will subsequently within the next 5 years be diagnosed with stage 4 (metastatic) cancer. Secondly there is good reason to believe that those who will live more than 3 years, the poisonous chemical given will not just reduce the quality of their lives but also shorten their lives. If diagnosed with metastatic cancer, I would at most have it removed or radiated. The combination of minor extension and reduced quality of life entail that I would refuse chemotherapy. If not metastatic I would refuse the poisonous treatment. In either cancer, the prudent course is to deny chemo.

I have taken a long-hard look how pharma runs clinical trials and how regulatory agencies review the stage 3 clinical trials. Simply put the trials are marketing tools, for confirmation click on link. Reading the material I have posted you will understand why I would not follow the sincere recommendation of an oncologist. After radiation or excision further treatment is not in the patient’s interest—with a few exceptions. Oncologists are very good at selling their product.

The best treatment for a cancer is excision, or if not possible X-ray treatment. For 90% of cancers aspirin is the best chemotherapy. It stimulates the body’s necrosis factor for destruction of abnormal cells. And in so doing it very significantly lowers the risk of undetected colonies of cancerous tissue becoming metastatic. It is well supported by dozens of journal articles, yet it has not entered into treatment protocols—such is the power of pharma. There are 2 articles written by me on cancer a shorter and a long version; they educate and explain my thumbs 90% of chemotherapies. Aspirin also in high dose reduces by about 50% the conversion of precancerous cells into cancer. For this reason I have been taking one-to-two 325 mg aspirin tables since 1991.

There is grass root revulsion to the current corporate health industry, with pharma doing the most harm. The best account of bad pharma is by Danish Prof. Peter Gotzsche in his 2013 book Deadly Medicine and Organised Crime: How big pharma has corrupted healthcare. Prof. Gotzsche’s book has won the British Medical Book Award given by the BMA (British Medical Association which is comparable to our AMA). Further endorsement comes from the Richard Smith former Editor-in-Chief of the BMJ (British Medical Journal) and Drummond Rennie, Deputy Editor of JAMA (Journal of American Medical Association) which are 2 of the 4 leading English medical journal. The President’s Lecture on YouTube by Harvard Professor Marcia Angell confirms Prof. Gotzsche’s book. Pharma is worse than you can imagine.

Harvard Prof. Marcia Angell, MD. wrote: “We certainly are in a health care crisis, ... If we had set out to design the worst system that we could imagine, we couldn't have imagined one as bad as we have.” Author of the Truth About Drug Companies, and former Editor in Chief of NEJM. Her excellent lecture on YouTube presenting the evidence

CHEMO THAT CAN’T CURE METASTATIC CANCER, THUS IT CAN’T CURE INDOLENT CANCER. They are essentially the same but for the ability to fool the immune system. There is not an atypical positive response for a subgroup; those terminal patients have an indolent form of the cancer. The term “Survival” applied to chemo means “delays death” a few months. Like soldiers, doctors are believers, thus they sell their faith in chemo.

There is a sales pitch for chemotherapy based upon bad logic. An example will make it clear. The 2 year survival for untreated small cell lung cancer average is 9 month, with 95 dying within 2 years. Chemo therapy adds to the bell curve 2 months. Thus average survival is 11 months, and 95% die within 2 years 2 months. Gertrude has small cell breast cancer, and would untreated live average of 9 months. If she elects treatment, she will be dead in the 11^th month. Treatment doesn’t place Gertrude in the fortunate group of living over 2 years.
