The average survival rate for cancer patients with conventional therapy has always been considered an average of 2 to 3%, with the exception of chemotherapy for leukemias and lymphomas. Of course this treatment involves the use of plant extracts. The chemotherapy drugs vincristine and vinblastine are derived the plant Madagascar periwinkle.

I have an old text book on cancer written for doctors. Even in this book they mention the fact that the chemotherapy kills about 95% of the patients undergoing it from malnutrition.

It is pretty interesting that mainstream medicine calls alternatives with higher success rates quackery. Hoxsey was getting an 80% success rate for cancer with the formula he used, and it was called quackery. Yet therapies with a 3% or less success rate are not only the standard, but are not considered quackery.

The success rates claimed for mainstream medicine are actually much lower than they state. If an alternative medicine cures a disease mainstream medicine calls it a spontaneous remission or placebo effect. So if we apply the same principle to chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery the success rate is actually closer to zero if we factor in spontaneous remissions and placebo effect. Other factors that contribute to any success by mainstream therapies include changes in diet, use of alternative medicines in conjunction, and positive visualization. Therefore the actual therapies do little if anything to control the cancer. And ironically all chemotherapy drugs and radiation therapy are carcinogens (cancer causing). Then they wonder why we are losing the war against cancer.

Another big factor showing that standard cancer treatments are quackery is the fact that the 3% or less survival rate is based on a 5 year survival rate. The problem with this is that if a person is in remission, and their cancer does not reappear until after the 5 year survival rate the treatment is still considered successful. This can easily occur as many cancers, such as breast cancer , are generally very slow growing. Breast cancer can take up to 10 years to grow to a detectable size. Furthermore, if the original cancer is destroyed but a secondary cancer from metastases or from the carcinogenic activity of the therapy develops the original therapy can still be falsely claimed to have been successful as it killed the original cancer cells.

A large part of the problem is that mainstream therapies do not address the cause of the cancers. At least 95% of cancers are caused from viruses. Even the called hereditary cancers are not caused from human genes. A report in Discover magazine a while back admitted that ALL oncogenes (genes that cause cancer) that had been found to date were viral, not human, genes.

The first cancer virus was isolated in 1910 by Peyton Rous. It was an airborne chicken leukemia virus. He did not receive the Nobel Prize for his work for over 65 years all because the medical establishment did not want to admit that cancer is contagious. Luckily, cancer viruses do not take hold in the body unless there is sufficient immune suppression. When conventional therapies just kill cells at random, including healthy cells, they do not address the cancer causing virus. This is one of the main reasons that cancer almost always comes back within a few years of treatment.
