NaturalNews) 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.
In 2005, Snow had his colon removed and underwent six months of chemotherapy
after being diagnosed with colon cancer. Two years later (2007), Snow underwent
surgery to remove a growth in his abdominal area, near the site of the original
cancer. "This is a very treatable condition," said Dr. Allyson Ocean, a
gastrointestinal oncologist at Weill Cornell Medical College. "Many patients,
because of the therapies we have, are able to work and live full lives with
quality while they're being treated. Anyone who looks at this as a death
sentence is wrong." But of course we now know, Dr. Ocean was dead wrong.
The media headlines proclaimed Snow died from
colon cancer,
although they knew he didn't have a colon anymore. Apparently, the malignant
cancer had "returned" (from
where?) and "spread" to the liver and elsewhere in his body. In actual fact, the
colon surgery severely restricted his normal eliminative functions, thereby
overburdening the liver and tissue fluids with toxic waste. The previous 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 (in addition
to the newly created ones), Snow's body developed new cancers in the liver and
other parts of the body.
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. Nobody seems to
raise the important point that it is extremely difficult for a cancer patient to
actually heal from this condition while being subjected to the systemic poisons
of chemotherapy and
deadly radiation. If you are bitten by a poisonous snake and don't get an
antidote for it, isn't it likely that your body becomes overwhelmed by the
poison and, therefore, cannot function anymore?
Before Tony Snow began his chemo-treatments for his second colon cancer, he
still looked healthy and strong. But after a few weeks into his treatment, he
started to develop a coarse voice, looked frail, turned gray and lost his hair.
Did the cancer do all this to him? Certainly not. Cancer doesn't do such a
thing, but chemical poisoning does. He actually looked more ill than someone who
has been bitten by a poisonous snake.
Does the mainstream media ever report about the overwhelming scientific evidence
that shows chemotherapy has zero benefits in the five-year survival rate of
colon cancer patients?
Or how many oncologists stand up for their cancer patients and protect them
against chemotherapy treatment which they very well know can cause them to die
far more quickly than if they received no treatment at all? Can you trustingly
place your life into their hands when you know that most of them would not even
consider chemotherapy for themselves if they were diagnosed with cancer? What do
they know that you don't? The news is spreading fast that in the United States
physician-caused fatalities now exceed 750,000 each year. Perhaps, many
doctors no longer trust in
what they practice, for good reasons.
"Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy... Chemotherapy does
not eliminate breast, colon or lung cancers. This fact has been documented for
over a decade. Yet doctors still use chemotherapy for these tumors... Women with
breast cancer are likely to die faster with chemo than without it." - Alan
Levin, M.D.
An investigation by the Department of Radiation Oncology, Northern Sydney Cancer
Centre, Australia, into
the contribution of chemotherapy to 5-year survival in 22 major adult
malignancies, showed startling results: The overall contribution of curative and
adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adults was estimated to be
2.3% in Australia and 2.1% in the USA." [Royal North Shore Hospital Clin Oncol
(R Coll Radiol) 2005 Jun;17(4):294.]
The research covered data from the Cancer Registry in Australia and the
Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results in the USA for the year 1998. The
current 5-year relative adult survival rate for cancer in Australia is over 60%,
and no less than that in the USA. By comparison, a mere 2.3% contribution of
chemotherapy to cancer survival does not justify the massive expense involved
and the tremendous suffering patients experience because of severe, toxic
side effects
resulting from this treatment. With a meager success rate of 2.3%, selling
chemotherapy as a
medical treatment (instead of a scam), is one of the greatest fraudulent
acts ever committed. The average chemotherapy earns the medical establishment a
whopping $300,000 to $1,000,000 each year, and has so far earned those who
promote this pseudo-medication (poison) over 1 trillion dollars. It's no
surprise that the medical establishment tries to keep this scam alive for as
long as possible.
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. Abel contacted 350 medical centers and asked them to send him
anything they had ever published on chemotherapy. He also reviewed and analyzed
thousands of scientific articles published in the most prestigious medical
journals. It took Abel several years to collect and evaluate the data. Abel's
epidemiological study, which was published on August 10, 1991 in The Lancet,
should have alerted every doctor and cancer patient about the risks of one of
the most common treatments used for cancer and other diseases. 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."
Abel points out that chemotherapy rarely improves the quality of life. He
describes chemotherapy as "a scientific wasteland" and states that even though
there is no scientific evidence that chemotherapy works, neither doctor nor
patient is willing to give up on it. The mainstream media has never reported on
this hugely important study, which is hardly surprising, given the enormous
vested interests of the groups that sponsor the media, that is, the
pharmaceutical companies. A recent search turned up exactly zero reviews of
Abel's work in American journals, even though it was published in 1990. I
believe this is not because his work was unimportant -- but because it is
irrefutable.
The truth of the matter would be far too costly for the pharmaceutical industry
to bear, thus making it unacceptable. If the mass media reported the truth that
medical drugs, including chemotherapy drugs, 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. But neither group
wants to go bankrupt.
Many doctors go as far as prescribing chemotherapy drugs to patients for
malignancies that are far too advanced for surgery, with the full knowledge that
there are no benefits at all. Yet they claim chemotherapy to be an effective
cancer treatment, and their unsuspecting patients believe that "effective"
equals "cure." The doctors, of course, refer to the FDA's definition of an
"effective" drug, one which achieves a 50% or more reduction in tumor size for
28 days. They neglect to tell their patients that there is no correlation
whatsoever between shrinking tumors for 28 days and curing the cancer or
extending life. Temporary tumor shrinkage through chemotherapy has never been
shown to cure cancer or to extend life. In other words, you can live with an
untreated tumor for just as long as you would with one that has been shrunken or
been eliminated by chemotherapy (or radiation).
Chemotherapy has never been shown to have curative effects for cancer. By
contrast, the body can still cure itself, which it actually tries to do by
developing cancer. Cancer is more a healing response than it is a disease. The
"disease" 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 side effects of the treatment can be horrendous and heartbreaking for both
patients and their loved ones, all in the name of trustworthy medical treatment.
Although the drug treatment comes with the promise to improve the patient's
quality of life, it is just common sense that a drug that makes them throw up
and lose their hair, while wrecking their immune system, is doing the exact
opposite. Chemo-therapy can give the patient life-threatening mouth sores. It
attacks the immune system by destroying billions of immune cells (white blood
cells). Its deadly poisons inflame every part of the body. The drugs can slough
off the entire lining of their intestines. The most common side effect
experienced among chemo patients is their complete lack of energy. 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 immensely
destructive and suppressive effect of the chemotherapy itself. Remember, the
reason chemotherapy can shrink some tumors is because it causes massive
destruction in the body.
If you have cancer, you may think that feeling tired is just part of the
disease. This rarely is the case. Feeling unusually tired is more likely due to
anemia, a common side effect of most chemotherapy drugs. Chemo drugs can
dramatically decrease your red blood cell levels, and this reduces oxygen
availability to the 60-100 trillion cells of your body. You can literally feel
the energy being zapped from every cell of your body -- a physical death without
dying. Chemo-caused fatigue has a negative impact on day-to-day activities in
89% of all patients. With no energy, there can be no joy and no hope, and all
bodily functions become subdued.
One long-term side effect is that these patients' bodies can no longer respond
to nutritional or immune-strengthening approaches to cancerous tumors. All of
this may explain why cancer patients who do not receive any treatment at all,
have an up to four times higher remission rate than those who receive treatment.
The sad thing is that chemotherapy does not cure 96% to 98% of all cancers
anyway. Conclusive evidence (for the majority of cancers) that chemotherapy has
any positive influence on survival or quality of life does not exist.
To promote chemotherapy as a treatment for cancer is misleading, to say the
least. By permanently damaging the body's immune system and other important
parts, chemo-therapy has become a leading cause of treatment-caused diseases
such as heart disease,
liver disease, intestinal diseases, diseases of the immune system, infections,
brain diseases, pain disorders, and rapid
aging.
Before committing themselves to being poisoned, cancer patients need to question
their doctors and ask them to produce the research or evidence that shrinking a
tumor actually translates to any increase in survival. If they tell you that
chemotherapy is your best chance of surviving, you will know they are lying or
are simply misinformed. As Abel's research clearly demonstrated, there is no
such evidence anywhere to be found in the medical literature. Subjecting
patients to chemotherapy robs them of a fair chance of finding or responding to
a real cure and deserves criminal prosecution.
