Re: My dad has cancer...desperate for answers

>- however, that gives you no justification in slamming the treatment of someone else.

I am slamming the use of chemo-therapy. Yes, I am justified in doing so because it is a joke, it does not work except in a few rare cancers. For lung cancer, it decreases your chance of survival in the long run. I am not slamming those who took it under poor advise.

>- close relative has been given valid medical treatment for lung cancer,

Valid only by the poorest standards available. They were advised to follow that treatment by someone who had much to gain financially from it. Most oncologists will not take chemo even though they recommend it daily. Chemo does not increase the chance of survival in most cases and it is proven to decrease survivability in many.

My statement is not intended to cause pain or discomfort to those who chose that route but as a warning to those who might in the future.

If it causes that individual pain that I have spoken the truth, I apologise to them but I still think that it is better to speak out the truth about such rather than leave it unsaid and allow someone else to suffer the same fate.

I also have far more experience with cancer than I mentioned as I studied Oncology in college as part of courses on cell biology, including having experience in growing cancer cultures and trying various chemo agents on those cultures.

Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are primative barbaric treatments that make a lot of money for those who promote them.

What it comes down to is that oncologists should be sued for recommending chemo or radiation except for cancers that they are proven to significantly improve survival with.

The most effective tool against cancer is the immune system, destroy that and you have little chance of living anyhow. So what if the cancer goes away and you die of pneumonia 2 months later, or collapse from anemia? Well, at least cancer did not kill them, huh?

I do appreciate your concern over the bluntness and will try to re-phrase in the future. Tweet
