Cancer and chemotherapy- an inconvenient truth.
We live in interesting albeit confusing times. We are taught to believe in things that clearly don’t make sense and shy away from common sense facts that don’t match up with the current accepted norms. Take chemotherapy for instance. Some enlightened doctors have likened chemotherapy to blowing up your house because you have rodents.
If you look up the history of where chemotherapy came from, it was developed in the 1940′s by the US Dept. of Defense. They hired 2 pharmacologists to develop applications of chemical warfare agents. The pharmacists found mustard gas to be an excellent lethal agent to kill enemies. They also noticed that injected directly into the body it kills white blood cells (part of the immune system) and would also kill cancer cells. Since then many comparably highly poisonous drugs have been created along these lines of thought as cancer treatments.
The theory is that by intently poisoning the cancer cells, you can kill it. The familiar side effects of poisoning however; the loss of appetite, sex drive and vitality, hair loss, constipation, diarrhea, weakness, severe fatigue, nausea, depression, memory changes, pain swelling, etc. would beg common sense to factor into the equation that not only the cancer cells are attacked but that these highly toxic substances disturb the normal cellular biochemistry of the entire body.
Although chemotherapy has helped people, after countless billions of dollars in research and new drugs, the chance of someone getting cancer in their lifetime has tripled in the last 50 years. Research dollars go towards new and better drugs but do not go towards research much outside of the realm of pharmacology even though increasing studies exist to show that lower doses of chemotherapy and even some natural therapies are just as helpful.
According to a meticulous 5 year study by 3 oncologists, long term benefits of cytotoxic drugs have proven to be less than 5 percent effective: http://www.australianprescriber.com/magazine/29/1/2/3/. Another study done in England, says chemotherapy contributes to late stage cancer deaths: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/11/13/2418640.htm
