DEATH DOCTORING Orthodox anticancer therapies have harmful if not fatal side effects, but medical professionals continue to inflict them on their patients as a matter of course. Part 1 of 2 In summoning even the wisest of physicians to our aid, it is probable that he is relying upon a scientific ‘truth’, the error of which will become obvious in just a few years' time. X. al D. — Marcel Proust CANCER: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY wenty-first century medicine boasts a number of treatments that are actually very dangerous to human health, none more so than for cancer. May this short report reach the many thousands of people currently undergoing conventional cancer treatment. May it also reach the many thousands of doctors, physicians, nurses and carers who every day are innocently inflicting serious harm in the name of conven- tional cancer care. Let the countdown begin. Let there soon be an end to...Death by Doctoring. Every year in the United Kingdom, 200,000 people are diagnosed with cancer and 152,500 people die.' In the United States, the annual death rate for this disease is approxi- mately 547,000.? These deaths are recorded as cancer deaths, but how many of these deaths are really attributable to the disease itself? How many deaths should in fact be recorded as "death by doctoring"? When we consider that conventional treatment consists almost entirely of radiation, chemotherapy and the long-term application of toxic pharma- ceuticals—treatments which are all well known for their life-threatening side-effects— then the question becomes all the more legitimate. On chemotherapy, for instance, note the following: "Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy does not eliminate breast, colon, or lung cancers. This fact has been documented for over a decade, yet doctors still use chemotherapy for these tumors." (Allen Levin, MD, UCSF, The Healing of Cancer, Marcus Books, 1990) We examine the much-publicised story of the UK media personality, the late John Diamond, who opted for conventional treatment. What does his story tell us? John was known for his critical attitude towards many of the more popular alternative therapies. We look at some aspects of the alternative approach and ask if his criticisms were entirely undeserved. We hear from those within the cancer establishment itself who cite the con- ventional cut, burn and dissolve techniques as ugly and inhumane, and from those who seriously question the amounts of money being invested in conventional cancer today, given the pitifully low recovery rate. In the UK alone, £2.8 billion a year is spent in the conventional cancer emporium. That's roughly £6,800,000 a day. US spending on cancer is 10 times higher. We also hear from those who defied conventional wisdom and opted for non-toxic, non-conventional cancer treatments, with remarkable results. And no, we are not talking dolphin or pyramid therapy. From the known range of anticancer treatments available, this story focuses on the naturally occurring vitamin B17, vitamin C and the supporting role of nutrition. Vitamin B17 in particular has been attracting a great deal of attention recently, despite the concerted efforts of the worldwide cancer establishment to suppress or distort all the positive reporting on this vitamin. But should we find this so surprising? After all, it's no secret that with global spending on conventional cancer running into the hundreds of billions of pounds and dollars annu- ally, any news of a successful anticancer treatment extracted from the simple apricot ker- nel could do some serious damage to the wealth of the mighty Cancer, Inc. by Steven Ransom © 2002 Research Director Credence Publications, UK Telephone: +44 (0)1622 832386 Email: steve1@onetel.net.uk Website: htto://www.credence.org Extracted from his book Great News on Cancer in the 21st Century (Credence, 2002) Research Director Credence Publications, UK Telephone: +44 (0)1622 832386 Email: steve1@onetel.net.uk Website: htto://www.credence.org NEXUS = 23 by Steven Ransom © 2002 AUGUST - SEPTEMBER 2002 www.nexusmagazine.com
