No doubt chemo has killed many and I'm truly sorry for your loss.
My point is that cancer is an ugly disease that ultimately will kill the patient if not treated. Everything should be on the table (including chemo) as part of a comprehensive risk/benefit assessment. We completely agree that far to often the medical industry resorts to a one-size-fits-all approach that can do more harm than good. But to say a patient should "refuse all treatments" is incredibly reckless.
We have lost the ability in this country to evaluate all side sides of a topic and reasonably assess it. Instead we default to one extreme of the other.
Former oncology nurse. Cancer actually isn't one "disease" - it is defined by one of its symptoms (cell change & often overgrowth) Chemo drugs treat those symptoms only. If I were diagnosed with cancer, I would try Dr Paul Marik's recommendations first, maybe (just maybe) keeping chemo on back burner.
Two books - "The Cancer Code" by Dr Jason Fung, and "Cancer as a Metabolic Disease" by Thomas N. Seyfried make very interesting reading.....
"Cancer is not a Disease. It is a Healing Mechanism", by Andreas Moritz. He's right. Cancer seldom kills you. The chemo, the radiation, or the underlying problems that allowed the cancer cells to grow and proliferate are what kills you. Cancer is a symptom, not a disease. Toxic liver, lymphatic system, kindeys, gall bladder, acidic low oxygen body, poor diet with few nutrients. These all help cancer cells develop. Until you fix the real problem, the body actually helps the cancer cells when they form into tumors. 50% of a kidney tumor is white blood cells. The tumor parked somewhere, ideally a safer spot like a breast, giving you time to fix the underlying problems.
This isn't heresay, and it isn't just something we read. We lived it. Stage 2b breast cancer now in remission, no oncologist, no slash burn poison. And as Vicki said, the ugly tyranny is that doctors will not, cannot recommend anything but slash burn poison or they will lose their license, or worse.
I also believe that my dad died because of harmful chemotherapy treatments. It is past time to look at alternative treatments.
