Dr Mercola and the Cancer Hoax

I was just recently given Dr. Mercola's blog from a chiropractic friend.

I am reading Knockout by Suzanne Somers.  Dr. Burzynski is written about in there.

What I have read makes me want to know more.

Thirty years ago my father(may he rest in peace), said they would never cure cancer because of the money they make.  How right he is!

The reason the government is so hyper critical of anyone against the standard of care, is that if their way really worked, the money boat would float away.

That being said, I do believe that there is room for an integrated approach using both traditional and natural therapies for helping to "cure" cancer. 

We are looking at our diet and making changes. We are changing to organic wherever possible.  We know that my husband's immune system was killing his melanoma just not fast enough.  He has been taking supplements and dietary changes since 2006.

One of the resonating facts in her book is that oncologists use a broad stroke brush with chemotherapies.  Give it to everyone and hope it works for someone. 

One thing we don't see here in the U.S. is the chemo-sensitivity testing that Germany does.  They can tell before administering chemo if the drugs will work on your cells. 

That being said, yes I read his blog, but I run it through a sanity filter.

I didn't watch the cancer hoax but I did watch Burzynski The Movie.  I can't say that I have fact checked it, however, they show live video from congressional hearings of patient's and parents whose children's lives were saved.  They also interviewed the judge from one of the trials against him by the board of health in the State of Texas and he was very clear that he felt that he was being targeted. The drug he developed is going into a 3rd phase FDA trial.  You don't get there if you don't have anything.  I do think if his patient's had not come forward and created a huge stink over what was happening to him he would probably be sitting in jail right now.  The FDA has really restricted how and when his drug can be given.  Cancer is a huge money business for all involved.  Unfortunately, where there are large amounts of money there is greed.  I don't believe that what Burzynski offers is a "cure" for every person and every cancer.  I do think for brain tumors his treatment has been effective and their are people alive that would not be now. 

I take a lot of natural supplements and use nutrition in my quest for healing and I am very alarmed at the legislation that has been proposed to control vitamins.  I think as cancer patients we need to be very aware at what is happening with health care and health care freedoms.  We need to be aware of the food we eat and how it is produced.  Cancer rates are skyrocketing.  Something is going on we need to wake up and take notice.  I don't like to be a big conspiracy person but, the food recalls that are on going on in this country are alarming and we are doing nothing to get this under control.  I am not aware of any stories of people dying from taking their vitamins.  This is a little off topic, but for me, I see it as part of the same larger issue of health.

I watched a very interesting Ted Talk this week on A new strategy in the war on cancer by Dr. David Agus.  It is very interesting and I think you might enjoy it.  Nothing conspiracy, just what one doctor is looking at in treating cancer.

Good luck in your quest.  I like your tag line!

Hi, I read your post and find it interesting.  Dr Mercola is not insinuating that there is a conspiracy.  He is suggesting that there may be a an inexpensive, non-toxic, cancer treatment that is more effective than chemotherapy.  We should all be interested in this.  If it even helped one person wouldn't that be worth it.?  It is clearly non-toxic, so who could possibly have a problem with this.  And like you say, Drug companies are always looking for cancer treatments, of course they'd want this to be available to all of their customers.  Except just one thing we've forgotten.  This treatment is so common and simple to produce it wilil never become a 100, 300, 500 or $1000 pill like many chemo formulas.  Because it is so inexpensive to produce, it will never be a "blockbuster drug."  To me a blockbuster drug is one that is effective and safe first, and profitable second, but unfortunately that's not the way it works with Cancer therapy…..I know you want there to be an effective/safe cancer treatment right?  Then when one is presented why do you call it a hoax?  Maybe you would rather beleive groups with a financial interest in keeping big drug companies in charge of your health, and the FDA making sure nothing other than big drug companies get a chance to complete their research, but Mercola doesn't make anything on any of the inexpensive therapies he talks about, nobody does, because their inexpensive and easy to produce with known compounds that already exist.  So if nobody is making any  money here who would have a problem?…..Oh I get it, the ones who have money to lose.  If you don't want to use it, that's fine, I have no problem with you haveing personal doubts, but don't you believe that as Americans, we should all get to choose for ourselves?
