OVERCOMING THE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF RADIATION TREATMENT FOR CANCER

 

As readers of this newsletter are probably well aware, the Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) increasingly approves cancer drugs without

requiring that they be shown to prolong life. Indeed, FDA's approval

standards have now become so lenient that in most instances the

manufacturer of a drug only has to demonstrate that in clinical trials

the drug performs better than a placebo in order to be confident of a

smooth passage through the approval process.

 

But readers are perhaps less aware of the fact that some kinds of cancer

treatment have become the standard of care without ever having been

evaluated in clinical trials. Many forms of radiation treatment, for

example, have simply been " grandfathered in, " - i.e., accepted by

default largely on the basis of having been around for a long time.

 

While few would dispute that radiation does have a useful role in the

treatment of cancer, the fact remains that in many instances the

relative merits of different kinds of radiation treatment, the limits of

its usefulness and the extent of its effectiveness have never been

clearly established through clinical trials. This has led to a situation

where on the one hand the treatment is almost universally available, yet

on the other hand there is very little solid evidence comparing the

effectiveness of radiation to various other treatment approaches.

 

The lack of clear and unequivocal information regarding the question of

exactly what benefit radiation treatment confers on cancer patients has

been a longstanding concern of mine. For the past year we have been

working on a series of evaluative reports on the use of radiation in the

treatment most of the common types of cancer. The first of this series,

" Radiation and the Treatment of Breast Cancer, " is already available. To

order scroll down to the end of this newsletter or

 

Another report, " Radiation and the Treatment of Prostate Cancer, " will

be released within the next few weeks. Over the coming months we will be

releasing more of these individual, disease-specific reports as they

become available.

We have also written a report on the interaction of radiation with

antioxidants " Do Antioxidants Interfere with Radiation Treatment for

Cancer? " To order, scroll down to the bottom of this newsletter or click

here.

 

One aspect of radiation therapy that is often overlooked is its capacity

to cause sometimes debilitating adverse effects. Patients going through

radiation treatment for cancer are seldom adequately forewarned about

the unpleasant aspects of treatment, nor told about its capacity to

cause long-term harm. Neither are patients typically given nearly enough

practical information on how to combat the unpleasant side effects of

treatment.

 

We have now written a practical guide, Overcoming the Adverse Effects of

Radiation Therapy, explaining the common negative effects of radiation

and how to overcome them. This report will be of immediate value to all

patients who are going through radiation treatment or trying to recover

from it. As naturopathic physician Daniel Rubin, ND, FABNO, of

Scottsdale, AZ, has commented:

 

" In this report, Ralph Moss demonstrates a global understanding of the

mechanisms and pitfalls of radiation therapy. While the benefits of

radiotherapy are often discussed, its pitfalls are less well known but

can potentially cause harm to people with cancer. It is here that Moss's

report demonstrates its true utility: as a guide for those interested in

both preventing and treating the unpleasant side effects of

radiotherapy. For such people, Overcoming the Adverse Effects of

Radiation Therapy is a must-read. "

PHONE CONSULTATIONS

Last week we received the following letter from a client who had had a

phone consultation:

" After a dizzying nine months of physicians and tests, our telephone

consultation with Dr. Moss was the opportunity to clearly learn

science-based treatment options and understand how to view them in the

perspective of a risk to benefit ratio. His expertise led us to

wonderful caregivers we may have never found without his invaluable

knowledge in this area. It was a 10+ experience from start to finish! " -

I met the model Emme a few years ago and just found out that she cured herself od non Hodgkins lymphoma. She did 10 out of 12 chemo treatments in combination with a gluten free and raw diet.

 

I'm working on going raw, about 25-50% raw/day so far.

Proper diet and boosting the immune sytem are both musts as would be

detoxing and cleansing to get rid of any remaining traces of the foul

chemo drugs and toxins that may be left behind by the effects of chemo

and radiation.

 

If a person is actively undergoing chemo and/or radiation, oleander

has been proven to either eliminate or greatly alleviate virtually all

known side effects from chemo and most from radiation.

 

Of course, the best way to beat adverse effects of radiation is to

avoid them to begin with. This whole idea of mankind having 50 years

to wage war on cancer and still relying on cutting, burning or

poisoning away the symptoms (tumors) of cancer is barbaric!

 

If I needed to buy time because of an extremely aggressive tumor where

I was given only scant weeks or less to live or a life threatening

blockage I might consider a mainstream treatment such as surgery.

 

Otherwise I would never allow, nor will I recommend, chemo or

radiation in any form for any cancer. Period. Nature has a better

answer in every single instance.

 

This group has been around over four years now and it has over 400

members. One thing that has almost never been seen here is anyone

dying - and as far as I know we have never seen anyone who followed

the protocol fail to survive except where chemo and radiation had

taken too much of a toll.

 

We see lots and lots of good information posted here about other

treatments, and many of them are quite good in my opinion. I will put

oleander and the rest of the anti-cancer protocol up against any of them.

 

In South Africa, Marc Swanepoel's oleander based Sutherlandia OPC

extract has been over 90% successful against cancers of many kinds,

even late stage ones, and virtually 100% successful against HIV. It

has in fact been so successful that a major company has stepped in to

take over production to meet the demand. The initial run was for

50,000 bottles and the effectiveness of having such a large scale

operation has lowered the price from $99 to $60 per one month supply.

 

And you can save even more by making oleander it at home for free. In

fact, my entire protocol is based on natural and inexpensive elements

that together are many times more effective at a tiny, tiny fraction

of the cost of any mainstream treatment.
