Chemo: The Cash Cow of the Cancer Industry

Cash Cow, defined
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1/10/10)

"In business, a cash cow is a product or a business unit that generates unusually high profit margins: so high that it is responsible for a large amount of a company's operating profit. This profit far exceeds the amount necessary to maintain the cash cow business.

A firm is said to be acting as a cash cow...when the firm is not investing in product improvements and is essentially considering itself not in a growth market. This could be the case if a company sees the future of a product line as bleak as a result of some other technology taking away its market share.

Risks of a cash cow include complacency, with management ignoring the need for change as market forces erode value.

That said, every business longs for a cash cow product. The BCG growth-share matrix developed by the Boston Consulting Group, still used by analysts in large companies, uses the term "cash cow" to describe business units experiencing high market share and low market growth.

["Cash cow"] is a business metaphor rooted in the notion of a dairy cow that can be milked on an ongoing basis..."

Chemo is the Cash Cow of the Cancer Industry. However, as the Cancer Industry controls and monopolizes the market through cooperation of complicit regulatory and research agencies, there is no market force present to erode value. Obscene profits continue to roll in on the backs of deceived cancer patients. The Cancer Industry is insulated from the normal forces of the market place, which, if allowed to exist, would force it to 1) recall all chemotherapy products as unsafe; and 2) introduce safer products into the marketplace.


Just say no to chemo.

Intention of Blogsite

This blog is an expression of my personal experience. I am not a professional researcher or a medical professional. The intention of this site is to be thought-provoking, to encourage people to research and educate themselves prior to accepting the "standard of care" treatment. I believe that every person is ultimately responsible for their own health care decisions. It is your decision whether or not you will just say no to chemo.

I am grateful for the miracle of my health. It's my purpose in life to awaken others to the myth of chemo. The intent of my blog www.just-say-no-to-chemo.blogspot.com is to sound the alarm: everything you are led to believe about chemo is a lie.
What was the catalyst for this blog? The fact that I was almost sentenced to death by chemo. I am incensed. Because the Cancer Industry is in it too deep to admit that they are wrong, they continue to perpetuate the myth and they continue to harm and kill millions of Americans every year.

"Don't be scared into chemotherapy" notes that chemo can cause other cancers. This is something that people are not told unless they asked. I asked. The oncologist confirmed it. I have since read in "Beating Cancer with Nutrition" written by the former nutrition director at CTCA (where I went in Philly for one opinion) that the risk of chemo causing leukemia in ovarian cancer patients far outweighs any possible benefit. Yikes.

Here's the thing. When the Doctor recommends that you have "precautionary chemo", and with the chemo you have a 30% chance of recurrence, and if it does recur, you probably will not survive 5 years, and if you don't have chemo, then the chance of recurrence is higher.
>> How much higher, I asked.
>>Higher.
>>Yes, but how much higher?
>>Higher.
I could not understand why I wasn't getting a straight answer. That statistic should have been at the tip of the tongue. The reason it wasn't is because it doesn't exist.
I later discovered that statistics are NOT compiled on people who decline treatment. So it is not known if that # is actually higher, OR maybe it is actually lower! When you are in that position, you are VERY vulnerable.

The intent of the blog is to get people to pause, research, educate
themselves, participate in their own health care, and then
make an INFORMED decision, based upon truthful, factual
information, and not skewed statistics presented by the
pharmaceutical companies. The first 2 oncologists I
saw were repeating drug salesmen's pitches. The
3rd oncologist who was very truthful, also said that it is
not known whether or not it matters if people start chemo
right after surgery, or if they wait 6 months. It is
just not known.
So there is no urgency. People do not have to rush into it.
People have time to think and educate themselves.
People have a right to know the truth, and they also have a
right to choose non-toxic solutions. Non-toxic
solutions have been systematically suppressed by the FDA.
Check it out, you have the time. But to be honest,
most people do not check it out especially if it is not a
personal issue with them. Even if it is a personal
issue, most people do not check it out.
Everyday, I thank God and my husband that I checked it out.
Just say no to chemo.

Don't be Led Down the Primrose Path

The oncologist may hand you the drug information booklet (as required), and then tell you not to read the information too closely because it may scare you. Do not be led down the primrose path. Read the booklet. Believe the description of side effects. Don't believe it when the doctor tries to minimize the side effects. The side effects are very real, and some are permanent. You will be administered a "the maximum sub-lethal dosage that the body can handle". Who would possibly want to agree to taking a sub-lethal dose of anything? Only someone who was led to a state of desperation and fear. What happens if there is a mistake made with the dosage or if your body can't handle a sub-lethal dose? Will you receive a lethal injection? For what crime? You didn't do your homework? You trusted your doctor? Don't rush into treatment, you have time to review all your options. Insist upon it. It is YOUR life. It is YOUR choice.
In a survey of oncologists conducted in Canada, 75% responded that they themselves would not take chemotherapy treatment. What does that tell you?
Just say no to chemo.

How Effective IS Chemotherapy?

When presented with the recommendation of chemotherapy, you take it for granted that this is an effective medication that actually works to eliminate the disease of cancer from your body. Why else would it be recommended? If I had to take a guess on the effectiveness of chemotherapy treatment, if someone said to me, "what is the percentage of people who are cured by chemotherapy?", I would think about it and say, "well, I do know of some people who have had chemotherapy, and who still died anyway, so I know that it is not 100% effective, so I'll guess, it is probably around 85% effective". WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
In a study outside of the U.S., where the results could NOT be suppressed by the FDA, Dr. Ulrich Abel, a biostatistician, published a meta-analysis on survival rates of chemotherapy-treated patients. Of the cancers which can kill 80% of cancer patients (with the remaining 20% of cancer patients having non-lethal forms of skin cancer), chemotherapy alone is effective for only 3% of these patients. 3%. Let me repeat that. 3%. Wrap your mind around that number. 3%!!! That is abysmal. And criminal.
Not even close to my 85% guess. I was off by 82%! How far off were you? I am willing to guess that you missed the mark as well, because these statistics are not revealed to the American public.
Just say no to chemo.

The Path to Excellent Health

I can only relay my story, and what I have found to work.
If chemo is NOT the answer, what is?
Essentially, the path to excellent health is good nutrition, supplementation, exercise and body work, positive thinking, spiritual centering, mind-body connection, and joie de vivre.
Now that's sounds very trite and too simple. Shouldn't we have to really suffer to beat this thing? NO.
Here's how it happens. And I am leaving out a lot of the details.
When that diagnosis is dropped on you, it is one of the biggest shocks of your life. Totally unexpected, out of left field. You are blindsided. If I hadn't been lying on a gurney, I would have fallen on the floor.
At that very instant, your entire being makes the decision: live or die.
I made the decision to live.
Getting through the physical discomfort of the recuperation process was the initial challenge. Coupled with the physical issues is dealing with the fear of death. It is a huge challenge to bring this under control. The oncologists plant the seed of fear in your mind. What if they are right? What if I am wrong? You are plagued by doubts that must be dispelled for this to work.
Good nutrition: Cancer LOVES sugar. Give it up. Now. In all forms. Eat whole grains and vegetables. Go to the health food store for guidance.
Buy books: "The Anti-Cancer Cookbook" by Julia Greer, MD, MPH; "Beating Cancer with Nutrition" by Patrick Quillan, PhD, RD, CNS. There are a lot of good books out there. Go to Borders and browse or go to Amazon.com and browse. Go to your local health food store. Find a good organic supermarket. Find a good organic cafe that has a meal plan and will make wholesome meals for pickup.
Eat all the super-foods: green tea, berries, red grapes, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, garlic, onions. Sprinkle turmeric on everything.
Avoid high fructose corn syrup. Drink a lot of water.
The internal environment has to be so healthy that cancer cannot survive it.
Supplementation:
Antioxidants (Selenium, C,E); Resveratrol, Probiotics, Cinnamon, Ginger, B Complex, Co Q10, Fish Oil, Vit D, Turmeric. Do not buy drug store vitamins. Go to your local health food store and talk to the proprietor. Not all vitamins are created equal.
Exercise and Body work:
Cancer HATES oxygen. Walking Chi Gung (Guo Lin Qi Gong) is a free video available at http://www.qigongchinesehealth.com/walking_qigong. Hundreds of thousands of healthy cancer patients who practice this in China cannot be wrong. I started doing this as soon as I could walk. I also bought a Chi Gung tape to follow along with, and I plan to resume my Chi Gung class this week. Chi Gung focuses on deep breathing. The key is to oxygenate the cells.
Have medical massages. Have spa massages. Acupuncture. Chiropractic. If the body is stressed, you cannot heal.
Positive thinking:
Surround yourself with people who think positively. Before the surgery, a person who is a motivational speaker came into my life through golf. We enjoyed the game, and had some conversations along the way. When she learned of my challenge, she would encourage me, saying "have an expectancy of good" and other very positive expressions. I found this to be enormously helpful. There are a lot of very positive books, CDs, DVDs. Louise Hay, Esther & Jerry Hicks. Learn how to use affirmations; learn how to meditate. You need a very strong support group of people who love you. I am fortunate to have a spouse who is my rock. Allow your loved ones to help, and express your gratitude. Stop being a Type A personality. Now!
Spiritual Centering
Make your peace with your God. Find spiritual healing through organized religion or other means. Let go of the past. Forgive past wrongs. Give up the sadness and grief of lost loved ones. Let it go. You must. Connect with spirit.
Mind-Body Connection:
Where the mind goes, the body follows. Think very positive, healing thoughts. Go to a Reiki master, a healing circle, a healing touch practitioner, a psycho-therapist, a medical intuitive. Get all the help you possibly can. What NOT to do: do not join a cancer survivor support group. You do not want to talk about disease. This is the Law of Attraction. If you aren't familiar with the Law of Attraction, buy the Hicks (see above) CDs.
Joie de vivre:
This is most important: you must start to find joy in everyday life. Smile at yourself in the mirror. Smile at your spouse. Laugh at least once an hour. Start generating the endorphins. After receiving a death sentence, the only way to commute it is to laugh your way out of it.
With this experience, an amazing thing happens: you become grateful for every day, for every moment of every day. It is a reawakening. Life is good.

Guess what? None of these things are toxic, they don't hurt, and they will bring you down the path to excellent health. Just say no to chemo.

Primum non nocere

"Primum non nocere is a Latin phrase that means 'First, do no harm.' Nonmaleficence, which derives from the maxim, is one of the principal precepts of medical ethics that all medical students are taught in medical school and is a fundamental principle for emergency medical services around the world. Another way to state it is that 'given an existing problem, it may be better to do nothing than to do something that risks causing more harm than good.' It reminds the physician and other health care providers that they must consider the possible harm that any intervention might do. It is invoked when debating the use of an intervention that carries an obvious risk of harm but a less certain chance of benefit. Since at least 1860, the phrase has been for physicians a hallowed expression of hope, intention, humility, and recognition that human acts with good intentions may have unwanted consequences. A closely related phrase is 'Sometimes the cure is worse than the ill.' The origin of the phrase is uncertain. The Hippocratic Oath includes the promise 'to abstain from doing harm' but not the precise phrase. Perhaps the closest approximation in the Hippocratic Corpus is in Epidemics: 'The physician must...have two special objects in view with regard to disease, namely, to do good or to do no harm.' " (Wikipedia, 1/4/10).

Doctors who administer chemotherapy are first doing harm.
This is a violation of their own Hippocratic oath. These are intelligent people; they have to realize that they are harming the immune system, harming healthy cells, harming healthy organs, harming the nervous system. Chemo is a very harmful treatment, often worse than the disease.
Do your research. Question. Read. Just say no to chemo.

Boycott Chemo

Anyone who was either at Woodstock or regretted missing Woodstock was a self-proclaimed "hippie". That term carried some negative connotations, as many hippies ultimately self-destructed, getting permanently lost while trying to find themselves. At some point, most hippies realized that they had to get their acts together and get a real job; then we became "baby boomers". However, as a group, hippies actually achieved the impossible: we protested the Viet Nam War, we called upon Nixon to resign, we even boycotted lettuce to protest the poor working conditions of migrant workers. "The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about people." (Cesar Chavez).
Although I missed Woodstock (and regretted it: I turned 16 that weekend and was not allowed to go) I do recall a scene from the movie, where an announcement was made warning people about some drugs that were circulating. The announcement was "that's some bad s%^# man, stay away from it!"
Chemotherapy is some bad s%^# man, stay away from it!
"Now is the time for all {old hippies} to come to the aid of {each other}". Stop this travesty. It is a real paradigm shift to understand that chemo is NOT the only way to go. You must wrap your mind around it. There is a book called "Chemotherapy Heals Cancer and the World is Flat" by Hirneise. The title says it all. There are safer, non-toxic solutions. Find them. The sheer number of baby boomers can move this protest to the tipping point where we all refuse to do the bad s%^# being pushed by Big Pharma. Just say no to chemo. Stand up. Question. Research. Find the answers.

This fight is about people. Boycott chemo.

An Unholy Alliance

Cancer Treatment Centers and Big Business:
"Founded in 1884 as the New York Cancer Hospital by a group that included John J. Astor and his wife, Charlotte, the original building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan began its move to its present location on York Avenue in 1936 when John D. Rockefeller, Jr. donated the land upon which, in 1939, Memorial Hospital was constructed. Between 1970 and 1973, a new Memorial Hospital was constructed and this building stands on the site today.

In the 1940s, two former General Motors executives, Alfred P. Sloan and Charles F. Kettering, joined forces to establish the Sloan-Kettering Institute (SKI). SKI has since become one of the nation's premier biomedical research institutions." (Sloan-Kettering website, 1/4/10).

The FDA and Big Pharma:
The article "The Dirty Little Secret between the FDA and the Drug Industry" (http://www.communicationagents.com/chris/2004/08/26/the_dirty_
little_secret_between_the_fda_and_drug_industry.htm) references the relationship between the FDA and the very industry that it is charged with overseeing. Very often, FDA officials find a soft landing spot in a pharmaceutical company after retirement from the FDA. Big Pharma, in a close alliance with the FDA, has developed a virtual monopoly on the cancer business. It is a business. Any alternative natural treatments which are beneficial to people are suppressed by the FDA. Only chemical substances can be patented; natural substances cannot be patented. The bottom line profits from the sale of chemotherapy drugs; the cost of research and development and of course, the profit margin, is factored into the cost of the drugs. Natural substances do not generate the billions of dollars that chemical substances do. Natural substances are viewed as a threat because they are comparatively cheap, they actually work, and so they are systematically discredited.

Big Pharma and The American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute:
The American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute are embedded institutions with the goal of self-perpetuation. The interest is in getting the public to believe that the cure is right around the corner, thereby getting the public to make donations, much of which goes to the pharmaceutical companies to continue the R&D for newer and more profitable chemical solutions.

Big Pharma and the Media:
Can you watch TV without being bombarded by advertisments for drugs?

Big Pharma and the Medical Profession: Oncologists receive incentives from every patient they sign up for chemo.

Big Pharma and Medical Schools: Pharmaceutical companies provide funding to medical schools and influence the curriculum in terms of the "standard of care" for cancer treatment.

Any alternative treatment practitioners are shut down by the FDA; it is literally against the law to find a real cure that does not involve toxic chemicals.

The unholy alliance of Big Pharma, the FDA, the fund-raising societies, the government research agency, the medical institutions, and big business: did the American public EVER have a chance? This group is NOT trying to save mankind from disease. This is NOT altruism; this is greed. Pure and simple.

With a diagnosis of cancer, the immediate knee-jerk reaction is to go into the medical institution established by big business and sign up for chemotherapy.
And when you walk into a treatment facility, you are a potential $100,000 sale. For that money, will you walk out healthy? Alive? What does the $100,000 buy you? Certainly no guarantees.


"In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act." (George Orwell). Do not believe what you are told without first questioning and researching. These are the worst kind of drug dealers. This is YOUR life. Take it into your own hands. Just say no to chemo.

The Emperor Wears No Clothes

How many times have you heard that someone was diagnosed with cancer and they died 3 months later? Question: did they have chemotherapy? If yes, what was the "real" cause of death--chemo or cancer? I put my money on chemo. And so do the pharmaceutical companies. Even when patients are terminal with no hope of recovery, the poison continues to be administered. This is shameless corporate greed and nothing more. Remember the lesson of Wall Street; the pharmaceutical industry--"Big Pharma" is just as greedy, corrupt, and ruthless.
If you signed up for chemo and you cannot cite the research study which proves that chemo will cure YOUR disease, then you have no "evidence-based" support for your decision. I am not talking about regurgitating the skewed stats that your oncologist spewed out about your 5-year survival rate and the % probablility that your disease will recur. I am talking "show me the money"--what is your source? If you cannot cite a source, then you, my friend, have been sold a bill of goods. Incidentally, the stats that your Doc spews forth are fed by the drug salesman from Big Pharma and are presented in relative #'s, not absolute #'s. According to Disraeli, and later Mark Twain, there are three types of lies: "There are lies, damn lies - and statistics." These misleading statistics (lies) paint the picture the cancer industry wants to paint, and paints the patient into a corner. They have you exactly where they want you: cowering in a corner in a state of fear. You will agree to anything to save your life. You THINK you are saving your life; you have actually just signed your death certificate.
The only benefit of chemotherapy is to the bottom line of the Cancer Industry.
Don't help them perpetuate the myth. Educate yourself. Knowledge is power.
Be brave enough to call out "The Emperor wears no clothes!!!"
Just say no to chemo.

We can't bring back those we lost to chemo

Everyone knows someone who they think died from cancer. I have lost people I love dearly, I thought, to cancer. I THOUGHT that they died from cancer; now I know that the actual cause of death was chemotherapy. Their deaths push me to help get the truth out. I wish that I knew then what I know now. Would they still be here? That is unknown. Maybe. Maybe not. We can't go back in time. We can't bring back those we lost. We can only look forward. It is only a matter of time before someone you know hears the words that I heard when the surgeon leaned over me in the recovery room and said: "it was malignant". Our environment is toxic, our stress levels are high, it seems to be a question of not "if" but "when" that diagnosis will be made. Be prepared to "just say no to chemo". Be aware that the cancer industry is based on the ability to create fear, making it very easy to manipulate people into chemotherapy. Let's try to save everyone that we can in the future.
My close brush with chemotherapy pushes me to help get the truth out. I am grateful to my husband. The week after surgery, the oncologist recommended "precautionary chemotherapy". My husband asked me what I was going to do. I replied that of course, I will do everything I can. With that he said, "let's not be too hasty, let's research this". I am grateful everyday that he had the wisdom to speak those words.
The body has a tremendous ability to heal. You cannot heal with poison. Give the body what it needs to heal. Trust. You will heal.
Just say no to chemo.

Affirmations

I am grateful for the miracle of my health. It's my purpose in life to awaken others to the myth of chemo. The intent of my blog www.just-say-no-to-chemo.blogspot.com is to sound the alarm: everything you are led to believe about chemo is a lie.
I affirm that I am healthy. Any thoughts about cancer or chemotherapy are not intended to attract any negative energy back to me. The thoughts are transformed into positive energy intended to help others who need this information at this time.
Those people will be led to this blog to help them find their truth. I found the truth by spending my recovery time from extensive surgery--6 weeks at home--on my laptop searching and researching the truth. I am grateful that I found it before I signed up for death by chemo. Believe this: chemotherapy is a slow painful death in many, many cases. Do your due diligence and make sure you know what you are getting into.
I am healthy and I affirm the positive power of transitioning a negative into a positive.
This blog is intended as a thought-provoking forum only, as a means of sharing the personal experiences of my unintentional foray into the cancer industry. Find your truth: "the truth shall set us free".
My truth: just say no to chemo.

"A rose is a rose is a rose..."

Chemotherapy is a toxic poison. It is not a cure for cancer. A "cure" for cancer as defined by the medical establishment is when the length of life from diagnosis passes the 5-year mark. If the patient is still alive, the patient is deemed to be cured, regardless of the physical condition of the patient. The patient may actually die after 5 years and 1 day, but that is irrelevant; the patient is counted in the statistics as a success of chemotherapy.
Think about this very objectively: if you were given a medication for a disease that caused your hair to fall out, wouldn't you refuse to take that medication? Of course. However, the American public has been brainwashed into accepting complete hair loss as collateral damage. This is not acceptable. If there is a visible manifestation such as hair loss, just imagine, really imagine the havoc that the chemotherapy is wreaking WITHIN the body.
Chemotherapy is experimental therapy that is embraced as the mainstream medical solution to cancer. It is not the solution. It developed from the mustard gas that was used in the World Wars. It is not effective against most cancers. 98% of the time, it does not work.
If it worked, if people were actually cured by this toxin, then hair loss would be an acceptable side effect, and immune system destruction, and healthy cell and organ destruction, and all the other numerous side effects would be acceptable if this treatment actually worked! But it does not work. I have had 2 oncologists hand me the drug information pamphlets (as they are legally required to do), and then both said to me "but don't read them too closely", with one of the oncologists saying that "they make the side effects sound really bad". The truth is--the side effects ARE really bad.
The media propaganda which is fed by the pharmaceutical companies wants the public to believe that the cure is right around the corner, and that there have been advances in chemotherapy in the past 20 years, and that there have been increased survival rates. These are all lies. Chemotherapy 20 years ago was horrible; today it is just terrible.
A good dvd available from netflix "Healing Cancer Naturally from the Inside Out" exposes many of the atrocities and mistruths.
This blog tells the story of Tony Snow, the White House press secretary who died from chemotherapy, not cancer, but chemotherapy: http://urpersonalhealthguide.blogspot.com/2008/07/say-no-to-chemotherapy.html
It is important to differentiate the cause of death: in many, many cases, it is the chemo that kills, not the cancer.
When you see someone who visibly manifests the hair loss side-effect of chemotherapy, it is important to acknowledge that this is a chemo patient, NOT a cancer patient. Cancer does not cause hair loss. Chemo causes hair loss. This person is not being treated properly for cancer; this person is being administered a toxic poison. "Do no harm"? I think not.
A rose is a rose is a rose. Chemo is a poison is a poison is a poison. People deserve to know the truth.
Just say no to chemo.

Don't be scared into Chemotherapy

I have first-hand experience with the health care system. For the past 9 wks, I have been researching and meeting with conventional oncologists, and it is my opinion that cancer is a multi-billion $ business. Period. Chemotherapy is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated upon the American public, and we are all paying for it. The pharmaceutical companies are the big winners. Americans are being led to slaughter like sheep; it is not cancer that kills, it is the chemo that kills. If this were exposed for the fraud that it is, many businesses would lose a lot of money, so the fraud must continue. Please note the following: 1) The statistics are skewed: people who decline chemo treatment are NOT included in the stats. There is NO control group. I know 5 people anecdotally who declined treatment and who are healthy; they are not followed in a longitudinal study. The statistics are based solely upon people who ACCEPT treatment. I know 15 people who had chemo and are now dead. 2) Chemo is effective only on 3 different cancers (testicular, lymphomas, childhood leukemias), yet it is presented as treatment for ALL cancers, even though it is known to be ineffective. 3) Chemo can cause other cancers to occur. 4) Chemo can make cancer cells resistant to all chemo treatments; cancer cells fight to survive, adapt, mutate, and then they divide even faster in order to survive. 5) The basic premise of chemo needs to be questioned: the shotgun approach with collateral damage to organs and immune system is NOT acceptable. 6) Doctors routinely use scare tactics about length of life to induce people to agree to accept toxic chemo when there is no proof that the treatment will benefit the individual patient. 7) There are other wellness plans that would benefit people more than chemo, but these plans are blocked by the FDA, the AMA, and Big Pharma. 8) It is more beneficial to strengthen the immune system than to weaken it. Chemo weakens it. 9) Doctors are legally required to offer chemo as the "standard of care" and if the patient declines, it is documented as a CYA for the Doc. This is the crux of the health care problem. This is where the money goes. And insurance companies cover only the conventional therapies, because everyone has been brainwashed into believing in the fraud. Until you actually question the basic premise of chemo, it is the knee-jerk reaction to cancer. The unnecessary deaths of 600,000 Americans every year must be stopped.
During my recovery time from surgery, I have been doing a lot of research on treatment options, and it is really quite unbelievable what a fraud it is. One of the best sites for an overall view is cancertutor.com. I am also getting several opinions on treatment options, and did meet w/ an honest oncologist who responded to all our questions, and in effect said that there are no studies which would indicate that chemo would benefit me, that chemo can cause other cancers, that chemo could result in any cancer cells mutating and becoming resistant to all chemo drugs, and that if I declined treatment he would not see me again. It is important to emphasize that the stats do not include a control group. People who decline treatment are not included in the stats; there are no longitudinal studies done to track people who decline conventional treatment. So when the medical profession presents "statistics" that are provided by the pharmaceutical companies to attempt to scare you into treatment which is beneficial only to their "bottom line", know that these statistics are skewed and therefore meaningless.
This has really been a revelation as to the medical profession being driven by the pharmaceutical industry. The American public has been brainwashed.
Just say no to chemo.
