Hello friends and welcome to this early edition of February's Newsletter.
This month looks into a topic that has been hitting close to home lately through friends, family and acquaintances; one that I don't think is investigated nearly enough - chemotherapy.
I've been working hard gathering important information that I believe everyone needs to read regarding this too-often-used and risky cancer treatment. It's a bit longer than usual, but there's too much important information to leave any out.

In the last couple of decades we've seen an increasing amount of campaigns, celebrity charities, organized events such as runs or walks, and telethons, all promoting the eradication of diseases, primarily cancer. But despite all the money raised, miles walked, and public awareness, are we any closer to finding a cure? Unfortunately, what we have actually seen is an alarming increase in the amounts of various cancers along with subsequent treatments. One form of these allopathic treatments that is being used with little to no effect and one that causes significant pain, physical damage, and even death in many cases, is chemotherapy.
Before proceeding, I know there may be some reading this newsletter who have had their cancers treated by medical means and are doing better much better. That is wonderful news and while we are thankful, it's important to read the following information very carefully.
In his book, "Questioning Chemotherapy", Dr. Ralph Moss documents the ineffectiveness and failure of chemotherapy in treating 96 to 98% of all cancers. It also reveals the enormous power, political and financial corruption, and real motivation within the cancer establishment (it's not curing cancer).
According to his information, chemotherapy is completely ineffective for most cancers. While some very rare forms have been claimed to be helped by chemotherapy such as choriocarcinoma, Wilm's tumor and retinoblastoma, they account for only 2 to 4% of all cancers. The public has been told by the medical community that chemotherapy is "effective", but this is misleading and a matter of definition. Most would take that to mean a "cure". In reality the FDA defines an "effective" chemotherapeutic drug as one which achieves a 50% or more reduction in tumor size for 28 days. However, temporary tumor shrinkage through chemotherapy has never been shown to cure cancer, improve or extend life since cancer is a whole body disease, not a tumor disease.
Chemotherapy can shrink some tumors because it causes the massive destruction of many tissues in the body. At the same time it actually poisons the immune system encouraging stronger cancer cells to become chemo-resistant and multiply after only a few months or years.
Another claim that chemotherapy improves the quality of the life is also deceptive. Chemotherapy's terrible side effects including vomiting, severe pain, extreme progressive fatigue, hair loss, organ and intestinal damage and destruction of the immune system to fight even simple infections, is not improving the quality of life. The new additional drugs now given to many chemo patients may prevent the patient from noticing some of the side effects, but they hardly reduce the destructive and suppressive effect of the chemotherapy itself.
One longer-term effect of chemotherapy is particularly tragic: many people who have had chemotherapy can no longer respond well to nutritional approaches to their cancers - often a last resort of help. This may explain why cancer patients who do not receive any chemotherapy treatment at all, have up to four times higher remission rates than those who do.
A long time study by Dr Leroy d'Etoilles has recently been published. He gathered together as many statistics as possible from some 170 practitioners who had treated cancer. The reason for the study was to compare survival rates of those who elected to undergo the standard treatments for cancer against those who refused these treatments. The conclusion of the study showed that those who avoided traditional cancer therapies outlived those who underwent them by up to 4 times longer! For a typical cancer, people who refused treatment lived for an average of 12-1/2 years, while those who accepted surgery or other kinds of treatment [chemotherapy, radiation, cobalt] lived an average of only three years. ______________________________________________________

Yet, the American Cancer Society will point out that the five year survival rate has increased from 33% in 1972 to 40% today. What they won't tell you is that at the same time 40% of cancers went away on their own. Nor will the ACS mention that 1) non-fatal benign cancers such as skin, are now factored in to inflate the numbers, and 2) improved technology has helped us to find cancers earlier, thus the survival time from diagnosis to eventual death has lengthened.
It's very revealing that despite these promoted survival rate statistics, most chemotherapists have said they would not take chemotherapy themselves or recommend it for their families. Chemotherapy drugs are some of the most toxic substances ever deliberately put into the human body! They are known toxins and originated as experiments with "mustard gas," the horrible chemical-warfare agents from World War I, promoting the idea of "poisoning" the cancer cells. However, it's not possible without poisoning the rest of the immune system at the same time. In addition, nearly all chemotherapy drugs are carcinogenic (cancer-causing) themselves!
The great lack of trust in chemotherapy is evident even amongst doctors. Polls and questionnaires show that three doctors out of four (75%) would refuse any chemotherapy because of its ineffectiveness against the disease and its devastating effects on the entire human organism. The following is just a small sampling of what many doctors and scientists have to say about chemotherapy:
"The majority of the cancer patients in this country die because of chemotherapy, which does not cure breast, colon or lung cancer. Women with breast cancer are likely to die faster with chemo than without it."
"Many medical oncologists recommend chemotherapy for virtually any tumor, with a hopefulness undiscouraged by almost invariable failure," Albert Braverman MD.
"Dr. Hardin Jones, lecturer at the University of California, after having analyzed for many decades statistics on cancer survival, has come to this conclusion: '... when
not treated, the patients do not get worse or they even get better'.
Dr. John Cairns, a professor of microbiology at Harvard, published his view in Scientific American (1985), "that basically the war on cancer was a failure and that chemotherapy was not getting very far with the vast majority of cancers."
Make no mistake, cancer treatment and therapies have changed little since then. In fact, Drs. Bailer and Elaine Smith wrote: "Some 35 years of intense and growing efforts to improve the treatment of cancer have not had much overall effect on the most fundamental measure of clinical outcome - death. The effort to control cancer has failed so far to obtain its objectives."
Additionally, Irwin Bross, a biostatistician for the National Cancer Institute, discovered that many cancers that are benign (though thought to be malignant) and will not metastasize (spread) until they are hit with chemotherapy.
In 1990, the highly respected German epidemiologist, Dr. Ulrich Abel from the Tumor Clinic of the University of
Heidelberg, conducted the most comprehensive investigation of every major clinical study on chemotherapy drugs ever done. In his paper, Abel came to the conclusion that the overall success rate of chemotherapy was "appalling." According to this report, there was no scientific evidence available in any existing study to show that chemotherapy can "extend in any appreciable way the lives of patients suffering from the most common organic cancers." Yet, neither doctor nor patient is willing to give it up...
To do so would be far too costly for the pharmaceutical industry to bear, thus making it unacceptable. If the mass media reported the truth that thousands of people have overcome their cancer using nutrition, and that medical drugs, including chemotherapy, are used to practically commit genocide in the U.S. and the world, their best sponsors (the pharmaceutical companies) would have to withdraw their misleading advertisements from the television media, radio stations, magazines, and newspapers. Neither group wants to go bankrupt.

More health care providers and patients are coming to the conclusion that cancer treatment is so toxic and dehumanizing that it is feared far more than death from cancer. There is also mounting evidence that many cancers that have been stopped or are in remission after undergoing chemotherapy might likely have been resolved anyway without treatment. The lack of certainty as to the outcome of conventional treatment virtually screams for more freedom of choice in the area of cancer therapy. Yet most alternative therapies regardless of potential or proven benefit, are outlawed, which forces patients to submit to the failures that we know don't work, because there's no other choice.
With such a meager success rate, what is the primary motivation to continue these ineffective and dangerous treatments? Money; lots of it. Cancer therapies brings in close to $100 billion annually. The average chemotherapy patient is worth $300,000 to $1,000,000 and has so far earned those who promote it over 1 trillion dollars.
While their intentions may be sincere, part of the money-making machine involves cancer charities that are raising cash for more chemical research that will never work, or worse, kill many more. Is the advice we receive from cancer charities impartial, or is it tainted with the chemical breath of the drug industry?
Oncologists are in a very difficult position because while they may have originally gotten into medicine to help cancer victims, they spent many years in training to learn how to give these poisonous medications that not only fail to work, but shorten the patient's quality and quantity of life. And if they try to warn their patients against the established cancer recommendations or simply not following their protocols, it can result in raids, loss of licensure, professional smearing and ostracism. The AMA is a very, very powerful and influential organization.
For the patient, taking a passive role in accepting conventional cancer therapy can be disastrous. Former first lady Jackie Kennedy's early death was attributed to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. She had been given an unproved protocol of very high-dose chemotherapy. These drugs alone could easily have caused her death - and this would not be unusual. There are numerous cases of iatrogenic (doctor-caused) deaths from chemotherapy. In the United States alone physician-caused fatalities now exceed 750,000 each year.
Former White House press secretary Tony Snow died in July 2008 at the age of 53, following a series of chemotherapy treatments for colon cancer. The media headlines proclaimed Snow died from colon cancer, although they knew he didn't have a colon anymore since it had been surgically removed. In actual fact, the series of chemo-treatments inflamed and irreversibly damaged a large number of cells in his body, and also impaired his immune system, a perfect recipe for growing new cancers. Now unable to heal the causes of the original cancer and the newly created ones, Snow's body developed new cancers in the liver and other parts of the body which eventually killed him. The mainstream media, of course, still insist Snow died from colon cancer, thus perpetuating the myth that it is only the cancer that kills people, not the treatment.
To further illustrate the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs, medical protocols have been set up for leaks and spills of these medications including: using disposable latex gloves, removing contaminated clothing and showering immediately, looking for any redness, blistering or burning, disinfecting the spill area, disposing of all material that has come in contact with chemo drugs.
I've included a photo to show the results of a chemo spill which occurred while administering chemotherapy to a patient with prostate cancer:

To those who know the real facts about conventional cancer treatments, it's easy to see that we're not just losing the war on cancer, we've already lost. The war used the wrong weapons and, sadly, its only plan was to profit. The only casualties in this war are the patients, whose numbers grow daily.
We know that chemotherapy has never been shown to cure cancer. It is based on a faulty premise: that the body must be purged of cancer by aggressive and toxic methods such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In reality, the body has the ability to heal itself, which it actually tries to do by developing cancer. Cancer is more a healing response than it is a disease. It is the body's attempt to cure itself of an existing imbalance. And sometimes, this healing response continues even if a person is subjected to chemotherapy (and/or radiation). Unfortunately, as the previously mentioned research has demonstrated, the chances for a real cure are greatly reduced when patients are treated with chemotherapy drugs.
The person diagnosed with cancer should get conclusive evidence that they actually have it in the first place. There have been many instances of people who underwent treatment who were told they had cancer when in fact, they did not. And the person with true cancer who refuses to accept medical therapies that have been proven not to work has begun the first step in a long journey in the fight for life. The first step is to begin to educate oneself by reading many different unbiased educational sources, and to construct their own best battle plan in winning against cancer, naturally.
Until next month, I remain yours in good health.
Sincerely,
Dr. Mike
