Is Cancer REALLY a Cause of Death?

Interesting clip about cancer and death:



Very interesting...

I stopped working three and a half years ago.  Prior to then I was an audio-medical typist in major hospitals and in radiology and x-ray.

I also worked at home doing this as a contractor for a US company who outsourced their work.

One of my big clients was oncologists in New York.

How many times have I  heard one oncologist talking to another while the tape was still running or the phone in actual fact (where they were dialed in for correspondence) discussing said patient who had cancer of one sort and another, saying yeah well it's (chemo and radiotherapy) is only going to give them an extra 9 months if that.

And how many times did I type up a patient who had finished their chemo course/radiotherapy etc only to be back again 12 months, 18 months down the track with it recurring again and then they died.

I got the truth while listening to the oncologists.  If a patient did survive it wasn't because of the crap they were being treated with.

Having said that there is a drug they can put you on that cuts off the blood supply to tumours.   That drug doesnt cure the tumour, you still have it, it just doesnt metastasise.

my mom passed away in 1994 from cancer; the cancer didn't take her life, the radiation did, for she died with all the classic symptoms of radiation sickness...

there is a thread on alpha tango spookz deeply buried that is about a study conducted at the University of Pennsylvania on cancer treatment; 56 people in the study al with various forms of cancer; all were treated with vitamin d binding protien, a substance produced by their own bodies, costs about $150 a week to treat each one; after 7 years, all were alive and cancer free, even the ones with pancreatic cancer and emphysema...

cancer research and treatment is 75 billion dollars a year; a simple cost effective cure takes away all that money...

need I say more?

No, seeker, you don't.  Indeed, the LAST thing *I* would do if I had cancer is get chemo"therapy."

Thanks for the input, biggles.  I think it's fair to say that Humans are being scammed in a deadly scam.

People get nauseated and lose their hair from radiation and chemotherapy because the treatments are cytotoxic.  That means the stuff kills cells.  It doesn't differentiate between cancer cells and normal cells.  People who are being treated with radiation therapy can get to the point of having a high enough body count to be considered biohazardous to others.   Body wastes from someone getting radiation and chemo have to be handled as chemotherapy waste in health care facilities.  I know.  TMI.

You guys are partly right but it isn't as simple as it looks.  Sometimes radio and chemotherapy extend lives and in other cases it will have had a detrimental effect.  You are right that some patients who might have survived die from these treatments. 


I don't have the time to explain right now.  If I forget, please remind me.  It will make complete sense when I go through this with you and you will see why it is an almost impossible situation for doctors, families and patients.
