The Truth
About Cancer in America
U.S. Annual Cancer Deaths to Surpass 200
Year Total Deaths From War
In all ten wars waged by the
United States, from its inception to the present, there were approximately
575,000 battle deaths. If we include as American deaths those in the armed
forces of the Confederate States (about 75,000) the total battlefield deaths in
all American wars are approximately 650,000! Within a very few years, the
number of deaths from cancer each year in the United States will likely
surpass the total number o1 battle field deaths from the inception of our
country to the present time. In the same way deaths due to war
beyond the immediate field of battle often exceed the number of deaths
in the actual battle, so the number of deaths of those who die from
intervening diseases exceed those certified as dying from
(rather than with) cancer.
Unless the
morbidity and mortality rates for cancer in the United States show an immediate
and dramatic decrease in the rate of escalation that has marked them in the past
50 years, cancer will account for many more deaths, a higher
morbidity rate, more human suffering and a greater economic loss,
by far-each and every year-than all of the wars in which the United States has
ever engaged!
Despite the
BILLIONS of dollars spent on cancer research, early diagnosis, attempted
prophylaxis, the incredible resources of surgery, the revolutionary advances in
the physics of radiation, the development of toxic chemotherapy (excellent
poisons that in virulence put the Medics to shame), and the most advanced
hospitals in the world, at this very moment, more people of all ages are
dying from cancer than at any other time or place in the history of the human
race!
In the May
6,1986 edition of the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, a
study titled, "Progress Against Cancer", authored by Bailar of Harvard- and
Smith of the University of Iowa concluded, "In the past 50 years, there has been
no progress in the treatment of cancer and the billions of dollars spent on
cancer research over the past 50 years have been totally wasted. Also, in
the last 20 years, the death rate has increased substantially, because
patients now die from the treatment, in addition to the
condition."
According to Dr.
Julian Whitaker, M.D., one of America's most trusted and respected authors and
personal physicians, "Cancer has reached epidemic proportions, especially among
people over 50. Every 45 seconds, someone dies of cancer-over 500,000 per year.
Truth be told, we're losing ground. Over the past several de- cades, breast and
colon cancer have shot up 60%... prostate cancer up 100%... and testicular
cancer up 300%. Even lung cancer has risen by 262%, at the very time when the
number of smokers has been dropping from 50% to 25%." Think of it... half the
number of smokers and double the incidents of cancer!
Death on the
battle field, as well as death in the Oncology ward, are not all natural or
intrinsic exactions of our mortality. Traditionally, our attempts at avoiding
both revolve around knife or sword, fire or radiation, and/or chemotherapy.
Sadly, the five-year survival rate for people who've received conventional
cancer treatments has remained the same since 1950, nearly 50
years!
Dr. Whitaker
states the reason this is so is that "For nearly 50 years, our weapons for
fighting cancer have remained the same: surgery, a variety of cellular
poisonings called 'chemotherapy', plus a host of techniques for blasting
the body with toxic radiation." History will, in time, conclude they never
really worked, however we find many courageous healthcare professionals who are
speaking to this carnage, even now.
Mardin Jones,
medical researcher from the University of California, Berkley, has stated, "For
a typical cancer, people who refuse traditional medical treatment live an
average of 12.5 years, whereas those who accept surgery and other kinds of
treatment live an average of only 3 years." In 1987, Dr. Dana Levi of the
University of California wrote/'Most cancer patients in this country die from
the chemotherapy- it does not eliminate breast, colon, or lung cancer. This fact
has been known for over a decade-women with breast cancer are likely to die
faster with chemotherapy than without it."
Retrospectively,
such deaths may well be viewed as grisly anachronisms, testifying to our less
enlightened past as a tendency of our species to shoot ourselves in the foot
when challenged by our need to think. Others may conclude the woeful lack of
real progress may have more than a tot to do with vested interests and political
intrigue. It has been estimated that the "cancer business" is an 80 -100 BILLION
DOLLAR business, annually! We also know that from the beginning of their
training, most doctors are taught that toxic medicines, invasive surgeries, and
high-tech gadgets only doctors can use are the only solutions to all
illnesses.
Whatever the
reasons. Dr. Whitaker says, "Never in the history of medicine have such toxic
therapies been so widely-used with such futility. These 'cut, bum and
poison' treatments have been pitifully ineffective for one simple
reason: they assume the body's own immune system cannot be galvanized to heal
itself. The assumption in the medical establishment for the past 100 years has
been that cancer must be purged from the body by outside means, i.e. surgery,
chemotherapy or radiation (cut, poison or bum). Chemotherapy and radiation,
however, can actually wipe out your greatest hope of recovery-your immune
system. This approach is an abject failure, and it's time we went back to the
drawing board."
Besides Dr.
Whitaker, other progressive medical doctors, like Dr's. Robert Atkins, Douglas
Campbell, Alex Duarte, William R. Kellas, David Williams, Earl Mindell (R.Ph.),
and others too numerous to mention, have come to believe in battling cancer the
same way they battle arthritis, heart disease, high blood pressure and other
maladies. Instead of destroying the immune system's awesome power to
heal, they harness it by incorporating changes in life style and diet,
and utilizing powerful nutritional supplementation.
Cancer remains a
powerful foe, but anyone can dramatically raise their chances of winning when
they build their immune system and give it everything it needs to battle the
cancer. It is now pretty well accepted that the often-referred-to
"spontaneous remission " among cancer patients is nothing more than the
return of a healthy immune function. For the "remission" to maintain a vibrant
immune function, and to remove the cause of the cancer condition. The
trillion+ cells that comprise the human immune system exhibit three essential
properties: I) the ability to recognize abnormal, alien (foreign)
substances such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites; 2) the ability to react
to each invading pathogen as an individual; and 3) the ability to
remember that foreign substance in future confrontations, once it has
encountered it.
The response
to any attack is two-fold; producing antibodies that are targeted against
bacteria and viruses themselves, and the ce// mediated immunity response
which depends on interactions between immune system cells called lymphocytes.
This response is directed mainly against cancerous cells and cells
infected by viruses. When lymphocytes are armed and sensitized, they are ready
to be mobilized, and infections can be aborted before you even get sick. For a
myriad of reasons, as we get older our immune systems become compromised and
desensitized, and incapable of overcoming the pathogens we encounter, leading to
sickness, disease and death.
There is virtually no hope of
defending against or permanent recovery from cancer without the benefit of a
healthy immune system!
In 1998, an
amazing and exciting breakthrough in immunology occurred, and Transfer
Factor™, the immunity-boosting "super vaccine" was introduced. Since it's
introduction. Transfer Factor's inducer, suppressor and memory
functions have greatly enhanced the health of tens of thousands of Americans.
More recently, Transfer Factors Plus™, the next generation of powerful
immune system support, combining the power of Transfer Factor™ with a
glyconutrients complex developed through research and breakthrough studies. This
is great news for anyone diagnosed with cancer, or with a history of cancer in
their family.
