The failure of chemotherapy to control cancer has become apparenteven to the oncology establishment.According to the PDR (Physicians Desk Reference), the top 10chemotherapy drugs used in the USA all list CANCER AS A SIDE EFFECT tousing them. In fact, statiscally, more cancer patients die fromchemotherapy treatment than of the cancer.Alan C. Nixon, PhD, past president of the American Chemical Society,wrote, "As a chemist trained to interpret data, it is incomprehensible to methat physicians can ignore the clear evidence that chemotherapy does much,much more harm than good."The Los Angeles Times reported that over 75% of the oncologists polledsaid that if they had cancer they would never use the same chemotherapy theyprescribe for their patients on themselves because of the ineffectiveness ofchemotherapy and its unacceptable degree of toxicity.In 1990 $3.53 billion was spent on chemotherapy and by 1994 that figurehad more than doubled to $7.51 billion. Why the growth in chemotherapy inthe face of such failure? Even the Federal Government has launched studiesinto this suggesting possible corruption.A look at the financial interrelationships between large cancer centers,for instance Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (considered the finestcancer research center in the world) and the companies that make billionsmanufacturing and selling chemotherapy drugs is revealing.James Robinson III, Chairman of the MSKCC Board of Overseers andManagers, is also a director of Bristol-Myers Squibb, THE WORLD'S LARGESTPRODUCER OF CHEMOTHERAPY DRUGS.Richard Gelb, Vice-Chairman of the MSKCC board, is Bristol-MyersChairman of the Board.Richard Furlaud, another MSKCC board member, recently retired asBristol-Myers' president.Paul Marks MD, MSKCC's President and CEO, is a director of PfizerPharmaceuticals.John S. Reed, also a chairman at MSKCC, is also the director of PhillipMorris Tobacco Company.AARP, the self proclaimed "watchdog" for the elderly, in the year 2000,received payments of $4 BILLION from their DISCOUNT DRUG PLANS and theirMEDICAL INSURANCE PROGRAMS.Dr. Allan Greenberg said on 12/24/2002, "As a retired physician, I canhonestly say that unless you are in a serious accident, YOUR BEST CHANCE OFLIVING TO A RIPE OLD AGE IS TO AVOID DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS AND LEARNNUTRITION, HERBAL MEDICINE AND OTHER FORMS OF NATURAL MEDICINE. Almost alldrugs are toxic and are designed only to treat symptoms and not to cureanyone. Most surgery is unnecessary. In short, our mainstream medicalsystem is hopelessly inept and/or corrupt. THE TREATMENT OF CANCER ANDDEGENERATIVE DISEASES IS A NATIONAL SCANDAL. The sooner you learn this, thebetter off you will be."Have a good dayLen
