Why We Are Losing The War On Cancer and How We Can Win It
When I think of how conventional medicine treats medicine, I
am reminded of a saying by Albert Einstein: “Insanity,” said Einstein, who is
considered one of the most intelligent people who ever lived, “is doing the
same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
This,
to me, is a sad yet very accurate description of how the cancer industry
continues to wage its so-called “war on cancer.” Consider these facts:
In
1971, when President Nixon, to great fanfare, declared a “war on cancer,”
cancer affected one in ten Americans. Today, four decades later, despite annual
expenditures of tens of billions of dollars in cancer research within the
United States (almost entirely paid for by US taxpayer dollars), cancer strikes
one out of every three women and nearly fifty percent of men at some point in
their lives.
In
addition, despite the enormous amounts of money that have been spent on cancer
research in the US, as well as around the world, the long-term success rate for
cancers that have metastasized (spread beyond localized tumors) has barely
improved since the “war on cancer” began, hovering at only 5 percent during all
that time.
As a
result, cancer continues to be the most serious, life-threatening disease in
the United States, to the point where it is now the leading cause of death in
all Americans under the age of 85.
These
facts clearly prove that we are not only still losing the war against cancer,
we are actually worse off today than we were before Nixon declared this war in
the first place!
Yet
every year the cancer establishment keeps telling us that we are making
progress. Don’t lose hope, they say. With a bit more research and money we will
soon defeat cancer once and for all. And each year, desperate for hope,
millions of us believe such proclamations, as evidenced by how generously we
Americans continue to fill the coffers of the American Cancer Society with our
donations, walk-a-thons, and other charitable contributions.
While
it is true that progress has been made
in certain areas—scientific advances make it possible to detect cancer much
earlier than before, and certain cancer rates have declined over the years due
to greater awareness of lifestyle factors such as not smoking, healthier diets,
and more exercise—I am here to tell you an inescapable truth.
Simply
put, the war against cancer, so long as it continues with its current
strategies, will never be won.
I
know that’s a harsh statement for many to hear. Even so, it’s true and the
reason why is because today’s conventional approach
to treating cancer is very limited and usually unsuccessful long-term (and
often short-term too) because the treatments use—primarily chemotherapy,
radiation, and surgery—only target the symptom (tumors, etc) and do NOT address
cancer’s underlying causes. At best, the cancer establishment, so long as it
refuses to move beyond its current path, will develop cancer drugs that allow
people to live with cancer as they with other chronic diseases. Certainly if
they succeed at this, it will be an important advance. But it will also be very
expensive (as a class, cancer drugs are by far the most expensive drugs of any
kind, costing as much as tens of thousand of dollars per month!), adding a further burden to our nation’s inexorable
health care costs. And still the end result will be that cancer will remain
undefeated, checked for a time, perhaps, but liable to attack anew later.
Again, the reason this is so is because conventional
cancer treatments only target symptoms! To understand the folly of this
approach, consider what would happen in a real war if our nation’s armed forces
chose to ignore the enemy itself, and only showed up after attacks had occurred
on our cities to help shelter survivors after the damage was done.
In essence, this is exactly what conventional cancer care
does. The enemy (cancer) is ignored, while oncologists and other doctors
heroically try to save the survivors (the body’s healthy cells and organs) from
additional harm by minimizing symptoms (tumor growth).
Don’t get me wrong. I am not calling into question the
efforts of the physicians and researchers who are tirelessly working within the
cancer establishment. Their dedication to finding a cure cannot be questioned.
What can be questioned, however, is the way they are
going about their search. Simply put, fighting tumors is not the answer to
cancer. What is needed is an all-out focus on addressing cancer’s many
interrelated causes. When this is done—as it is by the cancer doctors and
clinics I recommend on this website—then true miracles of lasting remission can
and do occur. I know this firsthand, having not only interviewed countless
cancer patients who are cancer-free today after their oncologists told them
there was nothing more that could be done for them, but also being a
beneficiary of these alternative and integrative cancer treatments myself.
Thanks to all I’ve learned at the hands of the doctors who treated me, along
with the hundreds of other leading health experts whose work I’ve researched, I
enjoy vibrantly good health in my mid-80s and have more energy than men half my
age.
This is the type of good health that I want you to enjoy
too. I want you to know firsthand, just as I do, that cancer is not a death
sentence! The doctors and clinics you
will learn about on my website are proving this each and every day.
And the reason they are so successful at what they do,
compared to the paltry success rates achieved today by conventional
oncologists, is because they know the importance of what I am writing about in
this article.
To reverse cancer and keep it from returning, you must
first and foremost determine what is causing it, and then you must do
everything that is necessary to address and treat those causes.
It’s that simple and that complicated. Simple, because
this “whole person” approach to treating cancer is the roadmap that all cancer
specialists need to follow, and complicated because of how widely the causes of
cancer can vary from one patient to the next.
Today, when conventional cancer experts speak of the
causes of cancer, they usually focus on genes going awry. Sometimes they may
also mention poor diet or stress, but usually that is the extent of their
focus.
But there are many other important factors that can also
cause cancer besides bad diet, stress, and genetic predispositions. In fact,
there dozens of them, and each and every single one of them must be considered
and, if present, treated.
Here is a list of these factors, most of which you will
never hear mentioned by the cancer establishment:
• Imbalanced pH •
Chronic Electromagnetic Field Exposure
• Geopathic Stress •
Sick Building Syndrome
• Ionizing Radiation •
Nuclear Radiation
• Industrial Toxins •
Pesticide/Herbicide Residues
• Polluted Water •
Chlorinated Water
• Fluoridated Water •
Tobacco and Smoking
• Hormone Therapies •
Immune-Suppressive Drugs
• Irradiated Foods •
Food Additives
• Mercury Toxicity •
Dental Factors
• Nerve Interference Fields •
Diet and Nutritional Deficiencies
• Chronic Stress •
Toxic Emotions
• Depressed Thyroid Action •
Intestinal Toxicity and Digestive Impairment
• Parasites •
Viruses
• Free Radicals • Blocked Detoxification Pathways
• Cellular Oxygen Deficiency •
Cellular Terrain
• Oncogenes •
Genetic Predisposition
• Miasm •
Too Much Sunlight
Join
me next time as I explain what each of these causes are, and why they are each
part of the cancer puzzle.

Get Your Kids Off Drugs: Better Ways of Dealing with ADHD
School is a particularly difficult time for children suffering from attention deficit disorder and other related problems. In America, thousands of our children come to school drugged into passivity on Ritalin and other psychiatric drugs. “Pop a pill” has too long been the cry of conventional medicine and frustrated parents.
