The Cancer Racket Exposed
21 Nov 2001
Modified: 22 Nov 2001
New nonprofit website dedicated to informing people about the suppression of effective cancer treatments
Hello,

There are times in our lives when we must stand up for
certain issues, rights or just pass on information
that we believe is crucial. For me, this is one of
those times. After about 14 months and 1500 some hours
of research, I know that at least a dozen very
effective cancer treatments have and are being
suppressed by the pharmaceutical/medical complex. My
answer as to Why?
is fairly long and is answered at my newly created
non-profit website. My article, "The
Cancer Racket" was published in "Clamor" magazines
Feb/Mar (re-titled, "Can You Trust Your Doctor"?)
issue this year. Feel free to email and circulate it
on the Internet, unchanged, non-commercially and with
attribute please.




Over ten thousand Americans die every week from
cancer, a medical vietnam every 6 weeks. Yet here we
are in the 21st century still being prescribed the
same three treatments that have failed for over 50
years; surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
Surgery is the most effective of the three but has
limitations and other disadvantages. Chemotherapy and
radiation are toxic, cause cancer, and wreck the
immune system. They cause very serious side-effects
and do far more harm than good for the vast majority
of cancer patients. But those are our main options, so
the oncologists say.

Please read this next story and try to put yourself in
the shoes of Ric and Paula Schiff. In 1993 their 4
year old daughter, Crystin, became ill with the
most deadly form of brain cancer. Crystin underwent
surgery at the University of California at San
Francisco Medical Center (UCSF). Crystin's prognosis
was bleak, she would be dead in a few months.
Chemotherapy and radiation treatment may extend her
life further, but the side-effects were appalling. Ric
and Paula were told there were no other treatment
options.

Crystin went through six months of hell. During this
time Ric and Paula found out about Dr. Burzynski's
non-toxic antineoplastons that have very few short
term side effects and are very effective against brain
cancer. The doctors at UCSF told them it was
worthless. Ric and Paula decided to go ahead anyway.


Incredibly, antineoplastons put Crystin into
remission. Although Crystin died in 1995, it was not
from cancer, but from brain damage as a result of
chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

Later Ric and Paula found out that a doctor at UCSF
had taken a close interest in a previous patients
success using antineoplastons . From 1989/1993 Dr.
Prados had sent Burzynski 14 lettters documenting the
case of Jeff Keller's brain cancer remission using
Burzynski's treatment. Yet this doctor told Ric and
Paula Schiff that antineoplastons were useless. See my
section "Three
Children Denied The Best Treatment" for more
information.

Virtually all children in America with brain cancer
must first be treated
with chemotherapy/radiation treatment. After the
pharmaceutical companies have extracted their blood
dollars the child may be allowed access to
antineoplastons. But it is usually too late because
the chemotherapy/radiation has destroyed the childs
immune system. Parents who try refusing orthodox
cancer treatments for their children will probably be
facing a court order and their child made a ward of
the State. We must have medical freedom of
choice.

Please help spread the word about the most egregious
scandal in the history of medicine. The
pharmaceutical/medical complex ban natural/cheap
cancer treatments so they can keep peddling their
highly lucrative chemotherapy and
radiation treatments. Meanwhile, our children,
grandparents, wives, husbands, family and friends keep
dying. Thank you for your time.Gavin

An updated set of links to information about these dubious, unproven (although they've proven to be very profitable for their promoters) treatments:

About Burzynski and "antineoplastons":

Some background to the above article:

Still more about Burzynski and his "clinical trials":
(This one's a must-read. All about how clinical trials, which are normally done at the expense of the researcher and not the patient, were perverted into a money-making scheme for Burzynski, while not producing any valid or verifiable results.) http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles/comment/burzynski.htm

A simple explanation of a standard of proof, less rigorous than formal clinical testing, that quack cures just never seem to meet, unlike evidence-based medicine. Worth reading just for the clarity and vigor of expression.

If you go to the Web site mentioned in the article, you'll see that our quackery fan is also on about a dubious cancer treatment called 714X.

Spamming for Quackwatch?
22 Nov 2001
Notice the heavy promotion of Stephen Barrett's
"quackwatch" website. Barrett's website is so
enormously biased against so
called alternatives it is absolutely worthless in my
opinion. He never mentions the appalling side-effects
of chemotherapy/radiation treatment and the fact that
it has been an abysmal failure for over 50 years for
the vast majority of cancer patients. Below is
information taken from my website,
http://www.geocities.com/freee80/surgery2.html

In November 1985, Dr. John Cairns of the Harvard
school of public health wrote in Scientific American
that
Chemotherapy was useful for only a few rare cancers.
Quote;

"...A six-or twelve month course of Chemotherapy not
only is a very unpleasant experience but also has its
own
intrinsic mortality...treatments now avert...perhaps
two or three percent...of the 400,000 deaths from
cancer that occur
each year in the US."

Two to three percent, I wonder how many cancer
suferers are given that statistic. How many people
are
given chemotherapy? Surprisingly there are no exact
figures kept. But according to Ralph Moss in his
book,
Questioning Chemotherapy, in 1991 he estimated that at
least 700,000 cancer patients received chemotherapy.

Dr. Alan C. Nixon, past President of the American
Chemical Society wrote,"

"As a chemist trained to interpret data, it is
incomprehensible to me that physicians can ignore the
clear evidence that chemotherapy does much, much more
harm than good."

You will not see any of these knowledgeable opinions
on "Quackwatch's" website. In my opinion, his website
is nothing more than public relations for the
pharmaceutical/medical complex.
