UPFRONT & UNFILTERED: The Business of Treating Cancer

(Cancer Patient)

I don't know what I have to say or how to say it until people start "getting it." Maybe I have to exaggerate the silliness of how we approach cancer as a society or even go so far as to offend people to save a life. In the military, it is usually the "asshole" that saves lives. In the retired televised medical drama, House M.D., it was Dr. Gregory House played by British Actor, Sir Hugh Laurie. Personally, my associations are some of the most well-researched and resourceful individuals I know on everything from law to health and we don't give a damn if a practice is mainstream or not. What we care about are results and if the results are not what we ordered, we discard and move forward with other methods.

Today, cancer is treated traditionally by three mainstream methods. These include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapies. There are others, but these three are the most commonly recommended and used among medical doctor's in the "cancer community." Of these three methods of cancer treatment, radiation and chemotherapies are highly dangerous and toxic. They are so dangerous, in fact, that of the 1 in 3 Americans that are diagnosed with cancer at some time in their lives, 2 of them will die within 5 years of diagnosis upon radiation treatment. Why? Radiation therapy uses radioactive elements such as radium to target aggressive cancers spread throughout the body. If we do not use the radiation emissions from our mobile phones, microwaves, and nuclear facilities to treat our cancers, why would we use radiation therapy?

Next, chemotherapy is virtually worthless. Not only are the medications to treat chemotherapy very expensive the success rate is even more dismal than radiation therapy because the chemicals used to "detoxify" the body are highly carcinogenic. A carcinogen is defined as a "substance or agent that causes cancer." Guess what else is chalk-full of carcinogens? Cigarettes. Now, think of how silly it would be to smoke cigarettes as a method to treat cancers. Only 5% of all patients who use chemotherapy to treat their cancers will survive beyond 5 years. So, why do we choose the least effective methods to treat our cancers? Fear. As humans, we misunderstand just about everything there is to understand about ourselves and our universe. What we do not understand very well, we fear. In the case of cancer, it is life or death. Historically speaking, the biggest business is done on the public's fear of imminent threats.

The alternative approach are holistic remedies or natural enhancers. These are not only not supported by the official medical and cancer communities, but these are vehemently detested because cancer is treated as a business - not a charity - in the corporate world. These holistic approaches include cannabis (marijuana) oil, vitamin B17, laetrile, and so forth. The success rates of holistic approaches are tremendously higher with permanent remissions scaling as high as 99% in some trials. Comparatively speaking, if two different patients chose two different methods of cancer treatment, one being traditional and the other alternative, it has been proven in small, clinical trials and research studies conducted at the top U.S. universities and paid for by the U.S. government that patients who are subjected to alternative treatments have a survival rate of at least 80% even if the cancer is malignant and aggressive as opposed to less than 50% via traditional cancer treatments.
