To keep out the oncologists."
No oncologists were needed at this point. Andrea, her husband and daughter had sought the haven of hospice. This brought into her home a steady stream of massage therapists, soothing sounds and quiet moments. Andrea was fearless. We spoke about the ways in which our lives and those we love would remain connected even after death. I repeated the story of my mishap with the yellow jackets, when I almost died.
When I had finished, I said, "I can't really be sure that all this happened to me. |

Hospitals hired Response Oncology to teach teams of nurses and oncologists, in two-day sessions, how to administer high-dose chemo and perform a transplant. The company also advised hospitals on how to build new wings and then handled the insurance claims.
While hospital administrators wanted their share of the profits, oncologists wanted their share of the glory. Transplantation was a medical high-wire act, a daredevil procedure that brought a patient to the brink of death and then snatched her back at the last moment. |

More than 75 percent of oncologists said if they had cancer they would not participate in chemotherapy trials due to its "ineffectiveness and its unacceptable toxicity. ~ Dr. Ulrich Abel, University of Heidelberg, Germany.
=> The percentage of people with cancer in the U.S. who receive chemotherapy is 75% ~ Oncologist John Robbins M.D.
=> The percentage of cancer patients whose lives are predictably saved by chemotherapy is 3%. To this day, there is no conclusive evidence (majority of cancers) that chemotherapy has any positive influence on survival or quality of life. |

It does not mean that the oncologists are lying to you. In fact, they may be telling the truth about what they observe in their own clinic. Yes, you might have six months to live if you do nothing, and you might live two years under their care while you are going bankrupt and suffering the toxic, debilitating painful effects of chemotherapy. But what if you said no to all of that? What if you chose not to inject your veins with cancer-causing chemicals? |
| Most conventional doctors and oncologists actually harm patients. They harm them by prescribing drugs, by cutting into them when it is not necessary, by scaring patients with authoritative fear. Even seeing a conventional oncologist to discuss your cancer test results is in itself extremely harmful because they brainwash you into thinking you won't live more than six months (for example) unless you submit to their extremely toxic and sometimes deadly treatments. |

And despite what oncologists still mistakenly believe, antioxidants do not interfere with chemotherapy. They only protect healthy cells, not cancer cells.)
Anyone taking prescription drugs, especially statin drugs for high cholesterol, needs to be taking a superfood supplement like LivingFuel Rx Super Greens. Why? Because most prescription drugs -- and statin drugs in particular -- cause nutritional deficiencies. LivingFuel Rx Super Greens helps overcome those deficiencies, giving your body the nutrients it needs to return to full health. |

Siegel told of two oncologists chatting about a study they were participating in to test a combination of four chemotherapy drugs, which had the initials EPHO.
One doctor's patients were doing spectacularly well; three quarters of them were responding to the drugs. But only a quarter of the other doctor's patients were improving. Then the first doctor explained that he had simply rearranged the letters of the drugs so they spelled HOPE.
People in the audience listening to Dr. Siegel were blown away by this. Robert Buckman was one of them. |
| In 1985, when Angell was writing, she probably spoke less for a community of disappointed patients and more for a community of mainstream oncologists and other cancer workers, many of whom now felt besieged and undermined by the strength of the popular trend toward mind-body thinking about cancer. There is no evidence that her slap at this trend within the pages of a specialist journal made any significant dent in the sales of the relevant paperback best-sellers. |

Many oncologists take it for granted that response to therapy prolongs survival, an opinion which is based on a fallacy and which is not supported by clinical studies.
U Abel, Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy 46: 439, 1992
Many of the headlines concerning newly approved cancer chemotherapy drugs report on the drug's ability to shrink the size of tumors, not survival. Or a news reports will claim survival was prolonged by 45%. But compared to what? |

Cancer victims who live far from such centers have a chance. ~ Professor Georges Mathe, French cancer specialist. => ... |

Many medical oncologists recommend chemotherapy for virtually any tumor, with a hopefulness undiscouraged by almost invariable failure. ~ Albert Braverman MD 1991 Lancet 1991 337 p 901
"Medical Oncology in the 90s." => "There is no scientific evidence for its ability to extend in any appreciable way the lives of patients suffering from the most common organic cancer...chemotherapy for malignancies too advanced for surgery which accounts for 80% of all cancers is a scientific wasteland." ~ Professor Dr Ulrich Abel,
University of Heidelberg, Germany. |
| The country/subcontinent of India, for example, which traditionally has been vegetarian for thousands of years, is rapidly adopting carnivorous eating habits, much to the benefit of that country's cardiologists and oncologists. (Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India, was largely responsible for keeping the Indian population vegetarian.)
Harvard research has shown that a vegetarian diet also reduces colds and allergies. Children especially benefit greatly from meat abstinence. |

Useful Tips to Remove the Need for Cancer
After I examined a large number of cancer patients in my European practice during the nineties, I discovered that all of them, regardless of the type of cancer, had accumulated large amounts of gallstones in the liver and gallbladder. |
| These root causes should be the focus of every cancer treatment, yet most oncologists typically ignore them. Constant conflicts, guilt and shame, for example, can easily paralyze the body's most basic functions, and lead to the growth of a cancerous tumor.
After having seen hundreds of cancer patients over a period of two decades, I began to recognize a certain pattern of thinking, believing and feeling that was common to most of them. |

The problem at the time was that my wife only wanted what the hospital and her oncologists were offering. I can't say that I blame her. This is life or death for her.
After chemo and several radiations, and the many horrific side effects, she developed another tumor in her brain. She has refused radiation and is now going to another doctor, an alternative MD. She is taking many nutrients three times daily, including IP6 and many I never heard of. She is following the approach of a European doctor.

| The claim that pH therapy has been driven underground is unfounded. oncologists (doctors who treat cancer) are experimenting with altered pH carriers to aid in the delivery of various cancer drugs. [J Pharm Pharmacol 53: 155-66, 2001] In fact, drugs like hydralazine, cap-topril, and nifedipine slightly alkalize the tumor area and have been shown to delay, but not prevent, tumor growth. [Oncology Research 11: 179085, 1999]
Q The claim that "cancer is virtually unknown among the Hopi Indians of Arizona and the Hunzas of northern Pakistan," is also unsubstantiated. |
| Patients often take antioxidant supplements to reduce unnecessary side effects, but their use is often discouraged by oncologists. They say it interferes with treatment.
Chemotherapy: over-promoted
One of the problems in sorting out the effectiveness of cancer therapies is ascertaining exactly how much treatment itself contributes to survival. There are now approximately 10 million Americans living with cancer. The very term "cancer survivor" is used loosely in the cancer industry and is often misused to imply patients have survived due to the care they have received. |

Most oncologists felt that cancer was a straightforward, serious biological disorder that needed to be fought with the best available biologically specific treatments. To their minds, it was a cruel deception to imply to patients that their minds had made them sick, and that they might therefore be healed by cultivating a different, perhaps more emotionally open and loving, approach to life.
Nevertheless, by the 1980s most mainstream cancer clinics did recognize the importance of offering patients opportunities for social support and counseling. |

Why do oncologists try to keep black people ignorant about their vitamin D deficiencies?
#10: Why is it illegal for nutritional supplement manufacturers to tell the truth about the anti-cancer effects of their products? Broccoli, garlic, onions and sprouts all have powerful anti-cancer effects, as do dozens of rainforest herbs (Cat's Claw, for example), Chinese herbs and Western herbs. But the FDA threatens and censors any company that dares to mention cancer prevention on its supplement products. Why is the FDA enforcing a policy of nutritional ignorance with U.S. consumers? |

Along with the rest of the allopathic medical establishment, the last thing oncologists want to admit is that the population is suffering from poisoning from hundreds of carcinogenic compounds and that this, in large part, is a great part of what is driving the escalating epidemic in cancer.
In March of 2004, the U.S. federal government issued an unusually detailed alert to the nation's 5.5 million health care workers: The powerful drugs used in chemotherapy can themselves cause cancer and pose a risk to nurses, pharmacists and others who handle them. |

If it's on the list of things that prevent cancer, the cancer industry (including most of its doctors, oncologists, non-profits and government regulators) will be against it. If it's on the list of things that cause cancer, they will likely promote it. The cancer industry, you see, isn't interested in stopping cancer. It depends on the disease!
The exception to this is, of course, tobacco. That's a substance that doctors once gladly promoted in magazine advertisements, claiming that smoking was good for your health and even improved your teeth! |

Ultimately, what they've shown us is that doctors and oncologists are simply not qualified to talk about breast cancer. They apparently have no education in cancer prevention, no understanding of nutrition and absolutely no willingness to teach themselves the most important facts about how to really prevent breast cancer in black women.
Personally, I am ashamed of my fellow human beings who operate organized medicine today. |
| By associating their names with this document, these doctors, nurses and oncologists have cemented their names in a document of great historical significance: It will be looked upon with ridicule and laughter in the near future -- held up as an example of the incredible arrogance and short-sightedness of doctors in an era of pharmaceutical-controlled medicine.
In my view, there is hardly a greater example of high-IQ stupidity in organized medicine today than this breast cancer task force document. |

Even mainstream oncologists are starting to think that maybe the industry should stop using these toxic drugs to treat breast cancer. As Dr. Pamela Douglas, a Duke University cardiologist recently said, "In the process of curing their breast cancer, we've exposed them to some pretty nasty things. And it's not just one nasty thing, it's a sequence of nasty things." Those nasty things, it turns out, cause permanent damage to the heart, kidney, liver and brain.
But they're really great for the bottom-line profits of pharmaceutical corporations. |

Think about it: oncologists openly push dangerous chemotherapy drugs that cause permanent damage to the brain, heart, liver and kidneys, even while insisting that patients take no vitamins, superfoods or nutritional supplements to protect their healthy cells during the chemo treatments. General Practitioners send patients home with prescriptions for dangerous COX-2 inhibitor drugs, diabetes drugs, statin drugs and psychotropic drugs that kill, at minimum, tens of thousands of Americans every year through heart attacks, strokes, liver failure and suicides. |

Of course, modern oncologists are simultaneously so arrogant and ignorant that they will insist you take nothing that might "interfere" with their poisons, which is why people who foolishly believe in modern oncology are rapidly removing themselves from the human gene pool.

A prize-winning researcher in his own right, Herberman built Pittsburgh's Cancer Institute, securing major funding from the National Cancer Institute and American Cancer Society along the way, by recruiting some of the world's top basic scientists and oncologists, and the major support of two Pittsburgh philanthropists, Henry and Elsie Hillman.
"Dr. Davis," he began with a low voice that belied the power that he held. "What would you do at a cancer institute to address the role of the environment for the disease?" I was caught off guard. |
