PROOF THAT CANCER SURGERY INCREASES MORTALITY CANCER SURGERY PROOF THAT INCREASES MORTALITY Research suggests that surgery and other medical interventions stimulate the growth and spread of tumours, while holistic anticancer therapies have an inhibitory effect. t is generally accepted in cancer research that the vast majority of patients, or about 90 per cent, die from metastases or secondary tumours and only a small minority from a primary tumour. Therefore it should be of great concern to therapists as well as patients that more than 30 years ago it was conclusively shown that cancer surgery is a main cause of metastasis (Krokowski; see below).' However, this research was completely ignored by the profession and patients never got to know about it. Since then, more and more disturbing data have come to light, and now an international team of leading cancer researchers has published a comprehensive review with the conclusion obvious from the title: "Surgery Triggers Outgrowth of Latent Distant Disease in Breast Cancer: An nconvenient Truth?" (Cancers 2010; 2:305-337; http://www.mdpi.com/2072- 6694/2/2/305/pdf).’ Because of the undisputed status of the members of this eam, their conclusions can no longer be ignored by the medical profession, even though they are causing much consternation. | expect that efforts are now being focused on preventing this information from becoming widespread public knowledge. The review has shown that future organ metastasis is independent of the size of the primary tumour and its apparent malignancy or the involvement of any lymph glands. Metastasis seems to depend mainly on the degree of stress for he tumour and the patient, on growth stimulation due to the wound-healing mechanism initiated by surgery, and on the health of the immune system. Furthermore, as the following examples show, surgery is not the only medical procedure that increases metastasis. In recent years, there has been a steady stream of research showing that basically all medical interventions can trigger metastasis. Research suggests that surgery and other medical interventions stimulate the growth and spread of tumours, while holistic anticancer therapies have an inhibitory effect. Recent Research Findings While most cancer research is funded by drug companies with the aim of increasing their profits, there is now a growing number of independent studies that show the negative side of conventional cancer therapy. Here is a small selection of interesting research findings. ¢ Conflicts of interest in cancer research. This analysis shows why it is so difficult to get to the truth in medical research. Conflicts of interest exist in a considerable number of cancer research articles published in medical journals, and there is a high degree of financial connections between researchers and pharmaceutical companies. These conflicts produce biased results with more favourable outcomes for investigated drugs and technologies.’ ¢ Experts want to stop screening. Screening for breast and prostate cancer has not brought a decline in deaths from these diseases. Instead, screening programs lead to tumour overdetection and overtreatment. © Morphine stimulates cancer and shortens life. Morphine has been used in cancer treatment for two centuries.
