PLEASE - If I am incorrect about this, somebody jump in and correct me.
An oncologist I spoke with about a year ago told me that yes, it is true. That's why when you go to "regular" doctors and you are diagnosed with cancer, because of the laws, they must treat you with chemo and/or radiation and/or surgery. There are many doctors who will allow and even recommend additional support using the so-called alternative or natural healing modalities, and thank goodness for that, but not instead of the chemo route.
I am so sorry about your friend's mother. I have lost many friends to cancer and AIDS and other diseases because of the chemo and radiation literally forced upon them, with the patients so scared they just blindly did what the doctors told them to do. The folks who refused the treatments are the ones who are alive. Yes, I know that there are people who have been treated with chemo and are now well, and I am so happy about that. It appears to be a small percentage, though. I frankly think that they heal in spite of the treatment, not because of it.
I hope this begins to answer your question about why doctors are insisting on giving chemo to patients when, as you say, they know it is poison. I don't have all the answers. I currently have cancer and have been told I will not live very long. I have refused chemo, because in my research, I found less than a ten percent success rate using chemo with what I am going through -- assuming I was to survice the chemo. Those odds are not good enough for me.
My very best wishes to you. I hope we all will live long enough to see the day when "law" gets its act together and stops dictating what a person can or must do in order to assist a person in need of healing. But in my opinion, we all have to stand up and say "Enough!"
