Cancer Truth or Fiction

The Great Mystery of the Age the "Cure" for Cancer? The Health care system has no cure but they have treatments they endorse. Supported methods are surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and follow up drugs. I know I have used all of them. So far so good but it still leaves me with many questions. What’s the real rate of success with my type of treatment?  Male breast cancer is not well studied because it’s incidence is very limited compared to female breast cancer. The statistics I was advised are pretty clear 1 in 3 women get breast cancer and 1 in 300 (some sources say 1 in 100) men get breast cancer.

So what is the obvious treatment “copy the treatment for women" because we (medical science) don’t know anything else to do! That’s what I was advised. So that is what I did but it leaves me with other questions. How about is there anything else I can do? And what about alternative treatments? What are their success rates? Does nutrition alter my success ratio?? Exercise? Herbal Teas? Supplements? Vitamins? Lifestyle? Minerals?

What about alternative options? There are so many it’s hard decide where to start. Do I follow this diet? Should I go to Mexico for that specialized treatment? Or Australia? What about Gerson Therapy it’s been around 60 plus years but it costs? Sometimes the decision is too overwhelming especially when you consider – you’re still in shock because you just learned you have CANCER!

Before I go further what does Complimentary and Alternative treatments mean really.

Complimentary is the easiest to understand it is a treatment that should compliment, go along with not replace, the mainstream Doctors recommendations, such as surgery or chemo. A good example would be using Nutrition like as in the book Beating Cancer with Nutrition by Patrick Quillin while doing surgery and chemotherapy.

Alternative on the other hand is that which for the vast majority is not accepted by mainstream medicine and typically but not necessarily stands alone. For example many people today decline surgery, checmo, radiation and adjuvant drugs and instead opt for a Homeopathic approach or use The Gerson Therapy. A good example would be the Japanese Prof. Yoshihiko Hoshino, M.D., who healed himself of colon cancer with liver metastases over 15 years ago using the Gerson Therapy, and has since compiled records on over 500 cases of advanced cancer treated by the Gerson method.

Well I didn’t think of any of these things when my Doctor told me I had Cancer (oh and he didn’t mention them either!) and even if I cut it out there was a 75% chance it would return unless I took chemo, radiation and then adjuvant drugs (TAMOXIFEN) for 5 years and that would bring it down to a 25% chance of return. I just listened to the doctor’s advice about surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and follow up drugs and followed the immortal words of Tim Allen in the classic space satire Galaxy Quest, “yeah, we’ll do that?!” Then eight months later a friend mentioned a book I should read and I started my journey of investigation into the Truths and Fictions of Cancer, for my own peace of mind and more importantly perhaps my life.

First of all you need to understand the state of mind a person’s in when your diagnosed with Cancer or any serious life threatening disease. You go into system shock. You have heard so much about it but you never really paid attention. Now you don’t want to know. It’s too late, the end of everything, or is it? It was months after my last radiation treatment before I WOKE UP and started to do anything other then just trying to keep myself and my family together and weather the storm.

My friend at work suggested I read a chapter about pork in a book by the supposedly infamous Kevin Trudeau – More Natural Cures “They” don’t want you to know about. And that started the ball rolling from there I have been reading books from the library and searching the internet for all the information I can find. Skeptical but steadfast.

The list of books I have read, the articles and web pages are beyond count but I have tried to add the most interesting and relevant ones here…

In one of the first books I read Cancer Cause Cure and Cover-up by Ron Gdanski, I learned more then I ever wanted to know (years before) but it was just the tip of the iceberg. I went on to read Hulda Regehr Clark Ph. D., N.D. books The Cure for All Cancers, The Cure for All Advanced Cancers and The Cure for All Diseases. Internet Articels aboutJohanna Budwig and her miraculous cottage cheese/quark and flax oil combo for health and life and Udo Erasmas brought Flax oil to the public with his lectures and the book Fats that Heal and Fats that kill. The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Lifeby Robert O. Becker and Gary Selden and the The Fluoride Deception by Christopher Bryson will change your life and the way you look at it.

If you read these books and others you will soon discover that the majority of us will get cancer or something equally lethal it’s not just inevitable it’s planned but they have something else something far more important a Cure or a Remedy if you prefer. The interesting thing is that although most of the books I have read provide different remedies and methods of applying these remedies they all seem to point to the same sources of cancer and the same cure method.

The sources I think are quite well analyzed in the book Cancer: 101 Solutions to a Preventable Epidemic by Liz Armstrong, Guy Dauncey, and Anne Wordsworth. They didn’t stop there as the title of the book suggests they provide Solutions and not just on a personal level but in the Global Arena as well. No single book could cover everything and all the aspects so I would suggest plowing through the book The Cure for all Cancers byHulda Regehr Clark Ph. D., N.D. andThe Gerson Therapy byCharlotte Gerson and Morton Walker, D.P.M. to start with anyway.

After reading some of these books it seems that they explain a variety of things like parasites, toxins, stress, electromagnetic interference and an acidic body which seem to promote cancer (as well as other diseases) while various other things methods or protocols cause a condition where cancer can not survive and the body can begin to heal.

Being the more important of the two topics what are the methods that alternative therapies use to place the body into a state where it can take care of itself.

They seem like wild and crazy things. Like clean out the toxins in you body by doing a variety of cleanses, even enemas are used to remove toxins picked up from our environment. Toxins from our environment filter into our bodies easily, like the famous poison DDT, but take a long time (if ever) to leave if not assisted. But you don’t have to travel that far to find poisons in your environment. Everybody’s microcosm is filled with toxins from the food we eat, the cleaning products we use and the places we find entertainment and relaxation as well as were we work. Take a look at the movie Fast Food Nation to get a nice view of what most teens and adults are eating today. Be cautious though you may never want to eat fast food again!

Talking about the food we eat brings up Dr. Shiv Chopra. A quote from his own website

http://shivchopra.com/

“Dr. Shiv Chopra is one of three Health Canada scientists whose testimony before a Senate Committee in 1998 triggered headlines around the world. The scientists testified that Health Canada managers had pressured them to release suspect veterinary drugs into the food chain without the evidence of safety required by the Food and Drugs Act.”

If you search for the Doctor you will find a variety of information. Then you’ll think these things they suggest are not so crazy. And then it hits this information has been around for decades in some cases almost a century and in all that time and with all the money donated for cancer research (and research for other diseases) nothing has been done to provide accurate tests only now are we seeing some trails being done. I can’t imagine the Cancer Industry has had decades and millions of dollars but in all that time and with all that cash nobody could go out and spend 100 to 150 dollars on a juicer or even $1000.00 on the top of the line model to test the Gerson Therapy. Come on it’s been around for 60 years and we’ve dumped tons of research donations into deadly and often fatal treatments (not cures) if the Industry wanted to Cure Cancer wouldn’t they try anything. Wouldn’t YOU? Well business is business I guess. The author of the “Zone” books said it best perhaps. If it is NOT in the form of an oral PILL (a drug) there’s just no money in it. No one would buy his method until he offered it as a delivery system for chemo, he says they would even look at it?!? Hmm am I just crazy but at the rate people are dying and the limited success of current main stream therapys should the educated look at all alternatives instead of brushing them under the carpet. Well there is the BIG PICTURE to look at of course -$$$. How do you make money if you Cure Cancer? I guess if that one is answered then and only then will Cancer be Cured.

But all of this still doesn’t answer the question…

Cancer Truth or Fiction…

Is Cancer a genetic defect that we have no control over and thus must live or die with it?

-or-

Is Cancer an imbalance in the body caused by eating garbage instead of food, living and working in polluted environments, filling our bodies with a multitude of toxins until parasites and bacteria cause a Cancer flourishing bodily environment?

Whose to decide? The people that have died from Cancer? Too LATE. The people who will get Cancer. The numbers are in 1 in 3 people get Cancer and if you checked I bet the rest get some other “Disease”. Dis-ease, so not to be at ease, like when you have Parkinson’s, Heart Disease, or the hundreds of other diseases available to you today.
