CANCER'S PROFIT-DRIVEN INDUSTRY

             The reported spending on cancer treatment in 2012 in the United States alone was 124.6 billion dollars, approximately 2 percent of its gross national product. In the US, cancer is the most expensive per person illness to treat. The drugs alone can cost a patient over $100,000 per year, in addition to the enormous costs for radiation, chemotherapy, and physicians bills. An estimated 80 million people in the US don't have sufficient health insurance to cover the costs of a catastrophic illness such as cancer, so many people go broke, suffer horribly, and die. Cancer is a multi-billion dollar industry and big business that represents huge profits to the pharmaceutical companies and the health industry. Those who are profiting have great financial interest in seeing the deadly trend continue to increase. They do not have a vested interest in prevention or finding a cure because there is little profit in eradicating the disease. A great deal of research is covered up and many potential cures are ignored and discredited because there is far more money in perpetuating cancer than in curing it. Natural remedies cannot be patented. There are a number of alternative healing therapies that are very inexpensive and effective compared to patented, expensive conventional treatments, but organized medicine, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and their controllers in the pharmaceutical industry do not want the public to know about them. The reason is obvious: alternative, non-toxic therapies represent a potential loss of billions of dollars to the pharmaceutical drug companies.

The pharmaceutical industry has collectively engaged in a medical conspiracy for the past 70 years to influence legislative bodies on both the state and federal level to create regulations that promote the use of drug medicine, while simultaneously creating restrictive, controlling mechanisms like licensing and government approval designed to limit the availability of non-drug, alternative healing treatments. The conspiracy to limit and eliminate competition from non-drug therapies began with the Flexner Report of 1910. Abraham Flexner was hired by oil and business magnate John D. Rockefeller to evaluate the effectiveness of therapies taught in medical schools and other institutions of the healing arts all over the US. Rockefeller wanted to dominate control over the oil, chemical, and pharmaceutical industry. He arranged for his company, Standard Oil of New Jersey to obtain a controlling interest in a huge German drug cartel called I. G. Farben. He pulled in his stronger competitors like Andrew Carnegie and JP Morgan as partners, while making other, less powerful players, stockholders in Standard Oil. Those who refused to cooperate were eliminated according to Rockefeller biographer David W. Hoffman in "Report on a Rockefeller". The report Flexner submitted to The Carnegie Foundation was titled "Medical Education in the United States and Canada" and recommended appointing a medical school or healing institution "doorkeeper". It was decided that the American Medical Association (AMA) would be the "doorkeeper", and it was empowered to certify or de-certify any medical school in the country on the grounds of whether that school met the AMA's standards of approved medicine. The AMA came into existence in 1847. It is a private organization of allopathic physicians which serves the interests of its members, especially when it comes to influencing favorable legislation. It functions in every sense of the word as a union, although its members wear white collars instead of blue. Flexner decided that any discipline that didn't use drugs to help cure the patient was deceptive and a fraud. Medical schools that offered courses in bioelectric medicine, homeopathy, or Eastern medicine, for example, were told to either drop these courses from their curriculum or lose their accreditation and underwriting support. A few schools resisted for a time, but eventually most schools cooperated or were closed down. A similar scenario was played out in Canada. It was attempted in England against homeopathy, but it failed due to the personal intervention of the royal family who had received much relief and healing at the hands of homeopathic healers in the 19th century. The total number of medical schools in the United States went from 160 in 1906 (before the Flexner Report) to 85 in 1920 and further down to 69 schools in 1944. Due to the Rockefeller Foundation, Carnegie Foundation, and the Flexner Report, only 30 medical schools in the United States require their students to take a course in nutrition. The AMA began removing nutritional education from medical schools in the US almost a century ago. The average US physician, after four years of medical training, receives only 2.5 hours of nutritional education. Bottom line is doctors can't cure cancer because they've been kept ignorant by the controlling interests of medicine and pharmacology. Medical doctors no longer understand anything about using food as medicine or are even allowed to suggest it. All mid-wives, Native American herbalists, and natural healers would be referred to in medical journals as "quacks." The western medicine philosophy would soon come to be that no food in the world could ever heal a human being or cure any disease or disorder; in fact, only pharmaceuticals and vaccines would ever be able to make that claim legally and get away with it, whether in peer reviews, medical and science journals, scientific studies, or labeled as such on products. Currently, it is illegal for any food, herb, tincture or superfood product to say that it cures anything or else it faces heavy fines or serious jail time. Yet medications advertised on TV since 1997 in the US can say they treat all kinds of diseases and disorders, even though the side effects are horrendous, sometimes including internal bleeding and suicide. In 2002, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that in the previous year, the average oncologist (cancer doctor) had made $253,000 of which 75% was profit on chemotherapy drugs administered in his/her office. Surveys of oncologists by the Los Angeles Times and the McGill Cancer Center in Montreal show that from 75% to 91% of oncologists would refuse chemotherapy as a treatment for themselves or their families because it is too toxic and ineffective. Yet, 75% of cancer patients today are urged to do the chemotherapy treatment by their oncologists. The medical establishment works closely with the drug multinationals whose main objective is profits, and who does not want an epidemic of good health. Lots of drugs must be sold and to achieve this, anything goes: lies, fraud, and kickbacks. Doctors are the principal salespeople of the drug companies. They are rewarded with research grants, gifts, and lavish perks. The authorities forbid natural alternative medicine because they are serving the industry, and the industry cannot make money with herbs, vitamins, and homeopathy. They cannot patent natural remedies. That is why they push synthetic medicines. They control medicine, and that is why they are able to tell medical schools what they can and cannot teach. They have their own sets of laws, and they force people into them. It costs millions to fund research and clinical trials needed to produce a new drug that can be patented and sold. These drugs create more illness, have serious side effects, and only treat the symptoms rather than the true underlying root cause of the illness. Managing the disease symptoms is done to keep patients coming back for more of their expensive treatments while draining their medical insurance coverage, bank account, and savings in the process. It has been said that the key to success in the conventional health business is to pull off the trick of making people patients for life!

Over the past decades, hundreds of caring, concerned, and conscientious alternative healers have been jailed and abused like common criminals, for the so called crime of curing people of life-threatening diseases in an "unapproved" manner, by heavy-handed government agents who raid these non-drug alternative clinics. In the US, a relentless campaign of misinformation, fraud, deception, and suppression of alternative therapies and healers has been in place for most of this century in order to keep highly effective alternative therapies from reaching any significant level of public awareness. Control is exerted through propaganda from pro-establishment organizations like the American Medical Association (AMA), the non-profit American Cancer Society (ACS), the Diabetes Foundation; local medical boards; and government agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institute of Health (NIH), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the National Academy of Science, and with the full cooperation of the corporate-controlled mainstream media. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the son of the founder of the pharmaceutical industry in America, founded the American Cancer Society (ACS) in 1913.The cancer establishment policies, particularly those of the ACS, are strongly influenced by extensive conflicts of interest with the pharmaceutical industry. And the NCI, with support from the ACS, has effectively blocked funding for research and clinical trials on promising non-toxic alternative cancer drugs for decades, in favor of highly toxic and largely ineffective patented drugs developed by the multibillion dollar global cancer drug industry. As admitted by former NCI director Samuel Broder, the NCI has become what amounts to a governmental pharmaceutical company. Additionally, the cancer establishment has systematically harassed the proponents of non-toxic alternative cancer drugs. As reported in The Chronicle of Philanthropy, the ACS is more interested in accumulating wealth than saving lives. Furthermore, it is the only known charity that makes contributions to political parties. In addition to this, the ACS and NCI have failed to provide Congress and regulatory agencies like the FDA and EPA with available scientific information on a wide range of exposures to avoidable carcinogens (cancer-causing substances) in food, air, water, the workplace, consumer products, cosmetics, body-care products, and household products. As a result, corrective legislative and regulatory action has not been taken. That in spite of billions of dollars in expenditures since the "war against cancer" was launched by President Nixon in 1971. Since then, there has been little if any significant improvement in treatment and survival rates for most common cancers in spite of contrary misleading hype by the cancer establishment. Governmental protection agencies like the FDA or the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have proven repeatedly that their purpose is to serve the interests of pharmaceutical companies and corporate interests, not their citizens’ interests. Vaccines, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and therapies, dentistry, psychiatry and practically all medical research is an industry and driver of corporate profits. The cancer industry is particularly ironic because the toxic consumer products that cause many cancers are made by divisions of the same multinational corporations whose subsidiaries make the scanners and equipment used to diagnose cancers, and the chemotherapy drugs used to treat it. A few examples of the common conflicts of interest in the industry as stated in John Robbins book "Reclaiming Our Health: Exploding the Medical Myth and Embracing the Source of True Healing":

-John S. Reed, chairman and board member of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the world's oldest and largest private cancer treatment and research center, is also director of Philip Morris, the tobacco company, and of Monsanto, the multinational chemical and agricultural biotech company that is a leading producer of toxic chemical products, pesticides, and GMOs (genetically modified organisms) which are strongly linked to causing cancer.;

-Richard L. Gelb, vice chairman and board member of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, is also chairman of the board of Bristol-Meyers, the company that accounts for half of the chemotherapy drug sales in the world;

-Samuel Broder, executive director of the government agency National Cancer Institute NCI until 1995, is also director of Ivax, a prominent chemotherapy company.

Many prominent physicians and authors continue to speak out against the cancer industry. Robert Atkins, M.D. states: "There is not one, but many cures for cancer available. But they are all being systematically suppressed by the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, and the major oncology centers. They have too much of an interest in the status quo" and Dr John Diamond, M.D. states: "Finding a cure for cancer is absolutely contraindicated by the profits of the cancer industry’s chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery cash trough" and Dr. Glenn Warner, one of the most highly qualified cancer specialists in the US, states: “We have a multi-billion dollar industry that is killing people, right and left, just for financial gain. Their idea of research is to see whether two doses of this poison is better than three doses of that poison.” The bottom line is that the healthcare and cancer industry is big business driven by profits only, and not by public health concerns.
