Chemotherapy doesn’t ‘cure’ cancer shock! False hopes dampened

Mainstream medical researchers are finally starting to admit that toxic chemotherapy drugs do absolutely nothing to cure cancer, and often cause cancer patients to die much more quickly than they otherwise would apart from getting the so-called “treatment.” Dr. Deborah Schrag from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and her colleagues let the cat out of the bag in a recent study they published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), which revealed that most cancer patients have no idea that their disease will never be cured as a result of chemotherapy.

According to the study’s findings, as many as 69 percent of terminally ill lung cancer patients and 81 percent of terminally ill colorectal patients have no idea that chemotherapy drugs are fully incapable of curing their cancers. Though they are said to potentially help some cancer patients live slightly longer lives, chemotherapy drugs admittedly do not stop the growth or spread of cancer cells and tumors, which means many of the patients who opt for the treatment are not being told the full truth about its major shortcomings.

“There is a lot of harm in not having patients understand the finality of the disease,” said Dr. Hossein Borghaei, an oncologist from the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, who was not involved in the research. “[Chemotherapy drugs] are very powerful, they have a lot of side effects, the chemotherapy is going to harm you more than it helps you, and it can actually shorten your life. All of this should be taken into account.”

All of this should be taken into account.”

Dr. Borghaei’s statements are chilling because they affirm what we have been saying here at Natural News for quite some time — that chemotherapy is nothing but a sham “treatment” that puts cancer patients through needless pain and suffering while making the cancer industry rich. And perhaps the most disturbing part about this now-normalized form of medical quackery is that oncologists typically fail to disclose to their patients the fact that chemotherapy does not even cure cancer, which gives them false hope.

UK cancer charity, CANCERactive, has also covered several stories recently on the subject of chemotherapy – all can be found in Cancer Watch (http://www.canceractive.com/cancer-active-page-link.aspx?n=2319&Title=Latest Cancer Research).

For example:

1. Chemotherapy can actually cause cancers to strengthen and return in the longer run.
2. Since Chemotherapy doesn’t kill off the cancer stem cells, the cancer will return.
3. Some bioactive natural compounds can kill off cancer stem cells.
4. Australian and American research studies show an effect in just 2% of patients since chemotherapy was regularly introduced.
5. the term ‘cancer management’ is rapidly replacing terms like ‘life-saving drugs’ and ‘cancer cure’ because pharmaceutical companies actually know that the truth is, chemotherapy doesn’t cure.

Both Natural News in America and CANCERactive in the UK regularly cover research on the Junk Science behind chemotherapy, which (for example) despite claims that new biologics are the weapons of choice, is still given to virtually every person with cancer at the present time.

Fish oils claimed to beat breast cancer drug for effectiveness

The omega-3 essential fatty acid known as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is more effective at reducing the size of breast cancer tumours than the chemotherapy drug cisplatin, and can also reduce that drug’s harmful side effects, reports a new study published in the journal Cell Division. However, readers should not jump up and down in excitement quite yet in our view: The research was done on mice not humans: The lead researcher A.M. El-Mowafy of Egypt’s Mansoura University claimed, “Our results suggest a new, fruitful drug regimen in the management of solid tumours based on combining cisplatin and possibly other chemotherapeutics with DHA. DHA elicited prominent chemo-preventative effects on its own, and appreciably augmented those of cisplatin as well. Furthermore, this study is the first to reveal that DHA can obliterate lethal cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity (kidney damage and renal tissue injury).” In animals who received 125 milligrams per kilogram of DHA, tumour growth was 38 percent less than in animals who received a placebo. Animals receiving cisplatin had 55 percent less tumour growth, while those treated with 250 milligrams per kilogram of DHA had 79 percent less. The combination of DHA and cisplatin not only reduced tumour growth by 81 percent compared with a placebo, it also returned white blood cell counts to normal levels. The 250 milligram per kilogram dose of DHA was nearly as effective at restoring a normal white blood cell count as the DHA-cisplatin combination. It is up to you to make your own mind up.
