Heal Thyself, Optimum Health Forever

“We are so close to a cure for cancer. We lack only the will and the kind of money that went into putting a man on the moon.” American Cancer Society, full page ad in the New York Times, 1969. “With a billion dollars for ten years, we could lick cancer.” Testimony to congress from the director of the M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute, 1969. “The American public is being sold a nasty bill of goods.” Dr James Watson, Nobel Prize Winner while serving on the national cancer advisory board, 1975. A landmark study, 14 years after the war on cancer began, showed that chemotherapy was somewhat effective in only 2-3% of all cancer patients but not much has changed since then, 1985. “…some 35 years of intense effort focused on improving treatment must be judged as a qualified failure.” John C. Bailar, MD, The New England Journal of Medicine, 1986. “Cancer deaths can be cut in half by the year 2000.” Peter Greenwald, MD, The National Cancer Institute, 1989. “For most of today’s common solid cancers, the ones that cause 90% of the cancer deaths each year, chemotherapy has never proven to do any good at all.” Urich Abel, M.D., University of Heidelberg, 1990. “Overall death rates from many common cancers remains stubbornly unchanged –or even higher- then when the war began.” E. Marshall, MD, Science, 1991. “Evidence has steadily accrued that [cancer therapy] is essentially a failure.” N.J. Temple, MD, Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 1991. “We have given it our best effort for decades: billions of dollars of support, the best scientific talent available. It hasn’t paid off.” John C. Bailar, MD, Harvard University, 1997. “…long term survival for advanced cancer has barely budged since the 1970’s.” Fortune Magazine, 2004. “We are going to lick cancer by the year 2015.” Congressman Benjamin Cardin, 2006. “Surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy seldom produce a cure.” American Cancer Society, facts and figures, 2007. A cancer study noted, “The Contribution of Cytotoxic Chemotherapy to 5-year Survival in Adult Malignancies” which came from every randomized, controlled clinical trial performed in the U.S. from 1990-2004 showing the absolute benefit for 5 year survival rates for cancer as follows: Bladder, kidney, melanoma, multiple myeloma, pancreas, prostate, soft tissue sarcoma, uterus, unknown primary site = 00.0% for 5 year survival. Other 5 year survival rates: Stomach=00.7%, Colon=1.0%, breast=1.4%, head & neck=1.9%, lung=2.0%, Rectum=3.4%, brain=3.7%, esophagus=4.9%, ovary=8.9%, non-hodgkin’s lymphoma=10.5%, cervix=12.0%, (testis=37.7% and hodgkin’s disease=40.3%) These last two cancers of testicular and hodgkin’s disease represent only 2% of all cancers. Even at these percentages this still shows much less effectiveness than a placebo pill! Yet, the American Cancer Society said, “caught early enough, breast cancer has a cure rates approaching 100%.” 3-15-87. “They lie like scoundrels.” Dean Burk, Ph.D., Regarding the American Cancer Society, Burk was employed by the National Cancer Institute for 34 years. “Everyone should know that the ‘war on cancer’ is largely a fraud, and the National Cancer Institute & American Cancer Society are derelict in their duties to the people who support them.” Linus Pauling, PhD. Nobel Prize Winner. Basically this is what you get from the FDA law that says, “ONLY A DRUG CAN CURE, PREVENT OR TREAT A DISEASE.” Meaning that natural substances cannot cure disease because legally, only a drug can do that! If and when the immune system is impaired and a single cancer cell escapes detection, the cancer cell will increase and multiply with time. Note the growth of a single cancer cell below (Radiol Clin N. Am. 1989, 21:115-26) Most cancer is detected when you have 4 to 10 billion cancer cells (8 to 20 years), before even mammography detects cancer! On an average, chances are that cancer cells and tumors have already spread to other parts of the body. Some cancer cells are resistant to chemotherapy and no conventional treatment can get them all. In 1993 the National Cancer Institute published a study of women who tested positive to breast cancer. They told half the women to stay on their typical American diet and had the other half change to a plant-based diet. After 4 years, 40% of the women who stayed with their typical American diet had recurring breast cancer, however not a single woman had a recurrence on the plant-based diet! Throughout history, it use to be that our percent of calories with whole plant foods were 95% of our diet whereas today, whole plant foods are just 7% of our diet. Equally alarming are the fact that historically, calories from animal foods where 5% and refined foods were 0%. However, today we have calories coming from 42% of animal foods and 51% of refined foods. What’s wrong with this picture? We need to urgently go back to the past high amounts of plant-based diet, low amounts of animal foods and relatively no refined foods! Cancer recurrence was reduced by 300% by plant-based diet in stage 3 colon cancer! “The more vegetables consumed, the longer the patients lived.” JAMA, 2007 Aug. 15; 298(7): 754-64. “I look at cancer in the same way that I look upon heart disease, arthritis, increased blood pressure or obesity for that matter…” Julian Whitaker, MD. Actually, statistics show that untreated cancer patients actually live longer than the conventionally treated cancer patients with a high quality of life, according to many doctors themselves and backed up by some studies. They are actually better off not accepting the treatment and the switching to a natural plant-based diet. Conventional medicine may be giving you 2 or 3 months more of life without the quality of life you would prefer. Treating patients with conventional medicine comes with a hefty price tag as each patient, due to the help of early detection, can now generate up to $500,000.00 (per patient) before dying. So it is really profits, not proven medical benefits that are behind the conventional cancer treatments.
