Nearly a century later, new findings support Warburg theory of cancer
It is interesting that in the same sentence the phrase states "nearly a century later" and "new findings"...
There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of instances where medicine is "rediscovering" things that were once known, but brushed aside in the name of profit and money.
Only now coming to the fore, because some enterprising chemist has figured out how to make money on it for his masters (employer).
If the political and industrial aspects of medicine are to blame for the barbaric approach to cancer, and other health treatments, and individuals employed in the medical industries are true to their humanitarian roots, and not just doing what they are "told" to do in order to remain employed (sticky wicket that is) perhaps they should rise up en-mass against the garbage (pharmaceuticals, barbaric tests and treatments) being force fed to the sick and dying.
Science could learn a lot from studying the men and women who worked in the shadows of blow hards, egotists, funding, and political oppression, (Bechamp) faced chemical industry and the government chemical industry protection racket persecution. But they won't... still money to be made and companies to keep afloat.
Doctors are held accountable in this country to the point of persecution and loss of career if they even suggest a treatment that is not status quo in the U.S; it happens, I have seen good, caring physicians railroaded out of practice; even though their patients benefited greatly while others suffered at the hands of "status quo" doctors (the real quacks) with the same afflictions, the world looses.
I have also known doctors (surgeons) who, if referred a patient will do surgery whether they need it or not to make a buck... bad doctors are out there and more the norm than not.
It would be interesting to see a study of cancer patients who do nothing as apposed to those undergoing "conventional" treatment... My great grandmother lived over 25 years after being diagnosed with breast cancer... she refused any kind of surgery or treatment.
One aspect of these studies though that is never addressed is quality of life. given the option of 5 years of a relatively high quality of life as apposed to the hell one goes through with the cancer treatment and\or medicine... I would take the former.
Science and medicine does not keep track of "spontaneous remissions" or those that choose to take responsibility for themselves and take health into their own hands... becoming well, and perhaps even better than before as a result... there are 10's of thousands of individuals that are examples of this. "Modern medicine" does not count them, because these people will NOT subject themselves to the barbaric practices and poisons to begin with.
My guess is that there are tens of thousands of people who have had cancer and beat it as well... they just stayed away from main stream medicine, having witnessed the horror of conventional treatments, knowing their options up front.
Medicine is also quick to brush off people who complain of drug side effects being worse than the disease from the nursing staff on up, EVEN when the drugs land them in the ER, permanently damaged and in some cases dead. Mention to a doctor that your medicine is causing this or that problem and immediately their walls go up and they defend themselves from any liability denying your accusations... it has happened to me and others that I know... this is not science... it is very, very biased to the detriment of the public at large.
No wonder people have lost and are losing faith in medicine at an unprecedented rate... more often than not, the cure is worse than the disease... bad doctors?, bad medicine?, a little of both?
It is unfortunate that science, especially, chemistry, and specifically medicine tends to look at one to one relationships in the cause of disease, the efficacy of a drug or treatment and NOT the synergistic effects that it has along with the detrimental results on other critical processes\systems.
That "modern medicine" ignores food based nutrients, the very poor food availability (even if one eats "right") that is about as nutritious as a cardboard box or worse, the completely polluted environment, including the water we drink and air we breathe; medicine has not even begun to take these things into account as it applies to human health... as critical as it IS, and that medicine totally, unequivocally ignores the natural world...
"Modern medicine" is an abomination.
