CANCER STORY: Success & Hard Truth

Iressa for Lung Cancer

and its side effects

 

AstraZeneca informed the FDA of a study involving 1,700 lung cancer patients:

1. Patients who took Iressa lived for 5.6 months.

2. Those given a placebo (inactive, dummy pill) lived for 5.1 months.

The study shows by taking Iressa, patients live longer by TWO weeks. As a result, Iressa was withdrawn in Western countries. However, patients of Asian origin responded slightly better. They lived FOUR months longer.

1. With Iressa lung cancer patients lived 9.5 months.

2. Without Iressa patients lived only ...

Cancer Is A Multi-billion Dollar Business

Money-Politics(1)

 

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy cause side effects. They may even cause new cancers, new diseases. So you need more drugs.

Selling drugs for the treatment of side effects of chemotherapy is big business for the drug companies.

What interest does the pharmaceutical industry have to stop cancer if they have revenues of one hundred billion dollars in the US alone every year from keeping cancer ongoing?

The only reason why cancer is still a death ...

Corruption In Cancer Research

 

A study to be published June 15th 2009 in the journal Cancer  has highlighted what is essentially corruption in the science of cancer research. It’s called “conflict of interest“: but you and I would call it corruption, bribery or malicious threats. Not nice words for a not nice phenomenon, which I’ve known about for years.

What it amounts to is that cancer researchers are likely to “find” (or invent) favorable outcomes for research which is paid for by the major drug ...

Politics of Cancer

 

Strong Arm Tactic

Dr. Alan Levin, Professor of Immunology at the University of California, said:

  • Physicians are intimidated into using regimens which they know do not work. 
  • One of the most glaring examples is chemotherapy which does not work for the majority of cancers. 
  • Physicians are coerced into using it by special interest groups which have vested interests in the profits of the drug industry.

CHEMOTHERAPY FOR CANCER

Kill Cancer Cells, Kill Patients Too

 

Dr. John Lee wrote: Chemotherapy is an attempt to poison the body just short of death in the hope of killing the cancer before the entire body is killed.

The Chemo Brain   Source: Science Blog, a Journal Article at SpringerLinkUSA Today

Chemotherapy is rarely the best option as a cancer cure therapy, as it simply does not address the underlying cause. A UCLA study has shown that chemotherapy can change the blood flow and metabolism of the brain in ways that can linger for 10 years or more after treatment. We can call this condition, “chemo brian”.

“People with ‘chemo brain’ often can’t focus, remember things or ...

New Thinking About Cancer and Its Treatment

Professor Gershom Zajicek, The Hubert H. Humphrey Center For Experimental Medicine and Cancer Research, Faculty of Medicine, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.

The following are some salient points raised by this learned professor.   

What is cancer? 

  • Cancer is a systemic disease and its symptom is expressed as a tumor. Removing the tumour is therefore NOT the ultimate solution or cure for cancer. Often the cancer recurs after an apparent ...

Information & Empowerment

 

 I am convinced that the best protection against evil that lurks among us is information ~ Dr. Julian Whitaker.
