Cancer Industry Exposed as Fraud “The Science is False”

Cancer Industry Exposed as Fraud “The Science is False”

Major studies within cancer research have been proven to be false which suggests that the mainstream treatments we use are based on fraudulent findings and false science.
Recent news has shown that the majority of studies geared towards cancer research are inaccurate and likely fraudulent by nature. Findings published in the journal Nature show that 88% of major studies on cancer that have been published in reputable journals over the years can not be reproduced to show their accuracy. This means that the research findings published are not based on accurate results.
 
Author of the review and former head of cancer research at Amgen C. Glenn Begley was unable to replicate the results of 47 of the 53 studies he examined. This suggests that researchers are fabricating their findings simply to create the illusion of positive findings instead of publishing their actual results. This ensures the continuation of their steady stream of funding and grants.
Begley  stated: “These are the studies the pharmaceutical industry relies on to identify new targets for drug development, but if you’re going to place a $1 million or $2 million or $5 million bet on an observation, you need to be sure it’s true. As we tried to reproduce these papers we became convinced you can’t take anything at face value.”
Although Begley was unable to publish the names of those who published the false findings, this recent development shows that the vast majority or modern cancer treatment approaches are invalid given they have been built off of a poor base.
 
The University of Michigan’s Comprehensive Cancer Center published an analysis in 2009, that revealed popular cancer studies to be false. Unsurprisingly the primary cause of fabricated results was determined to be conflicts of interest that created results that work out best for drug companies rather than for the people.

Personally I have always felt the cancer industry to be transparent when it came to their research and treatments. In many ways it is common sense. If someone said to you “This body is sick and we need to some how make it better.” Would you think to completely poison and destroy every healthy cell in it in order to make it better? While it can show results in minimal cases, it isn’t the most ideal approach. We are using highly carcinogenic treatments to cure a disease that is created through carcinogens.
 
The very fact that incredible amounts of money have been funneled into cancer research by people over the years and yet no cure has been found should be a tell tale sign things aren’t what they seem. This reveals in itself that the money is not going where we might think it is and there is not a complete effort to find a cure. While many people are aware of this and more are continuing to learn about it, the vast majority of us continue to believe in what we are told from government, education and the media about their findings that have been proven false time and time again.

How patients can advocate for better care

10 Medical Errors That Can Kill You in the Hospital

What are the 10 things that can kill you in the hospital?

In my last post, you met Paul Hastings, the recently-retired accountant about to embark on an around-the-world trip who ended up with one-way ticket to the hospital instead. More people die from medical mistakes than they do from car accidents, pneumonia, and diabetes.
No doubt, this is a shocking statistic. Before we discuss what you can do about it, let’s first talk about the 10 most common errors that can occur during your hospital stay:

#1. Misdiagnosis. The most common type of medical error is error in diagnosis. This is not surprising, since the right diagnosis is the key to your entire medical error. A wrong diagnosis can result in delay in treatment, sometimes with deadly consequences. Not receiving a diagnosis can be dangerous too; this is why it’s so important to aim to figure out what you have, not just a list of things that you don’t have.

 #2. Unnecessary treatment. Patient advocate Patty Skolnik founded Citizens for Patient Safety after her then-healthy, 22-year old son underwent brain surgery that left him partially paralyzed and unable to speak. He fought for his life for two years before succumbing to multiple infections. His story is incredibly tragic—especially since his surgery was never needed in the first place. Like Michael, thousands of people receive unnecessary treatment that cost them their lives.

#3. Unnecessary tests and deadly procedures. Studies show that $700 billion is spent every year on unnecessary tests and treatments. Not only is this costly, it can also be deadly. CT scans increase your lifetime risk of cancer, and dyes from CTs and MRIs can cause kidney failure. Even a simple blood draw can result in infection. This is not to say that you should never have a test done; only to be aware that there are risks involved, and to always ask why a test or procedure is needed.

#4. Medication mistakes. Over 60% of hospitalized patients miss their regular medication while they are in the hospital. On average, 6.8 medications are left out per patient. Wrong medications are given to patients; a 2006 Institute of Medicine report estimated that medication error injure 1.5 million Americans every year at a cost of $3.5 billion.

#5. “Never events”. Virtually everyone has heard the story of operating on wrong limb or the wrong patient. There are more horror stories. Food meant to go into stomach tubes go into chest tubes, resulting in severe infections. Air bubbles go into IV catheters, resulting in strokes. Sponges, wipes, and even scissors are left in people’s bodies after surgery. These are all “never events”, meaning that they should never happen, but they do, often with deadly consequences.

#6. Uncoordinated care. In our changing healthcare system, the idea of having “your” doctor is becoming a relic of the past. If you’re going to the hospital, chances that you won’t be taken care of by your regular doctor, but by the doctor on call. You’ll probably see several specialists, who scribble notes in charts but rarely coordinate with each other. You may end up with two of the same tests, or medications that interfere with each other. There could be lack of coordination between your doctor and your nurse, which can also results in confusion and medical error.

#7. Infections, from the hospital to you. According to the Centers for Disease Control, hospital-acquired infections affect 1.7 million people every year. These include pneumonias, infections around the site of surgery, urinary infections from catheters, and bloodstream infections from IVs. Such infections often involve bacteria that are resistant to many antibiotics, and can be deadly (the CDC estimates nearly 100,000 deaths due to them every year), especially to those with weakened immune systems.

#8. Not-so-accidental “accidents”. Every year, 500,000 patients fall while in the hospital. As many “accidents” occur due to malfunctioning medical devices. Defibrillators don’t shock; hip implants stop working; pacemaker wires break. There are supposed to be safeguards to prevent these problems from happening, but even if they happen for 1 in 100 people, do you want to be that one person who experiences the “accident”?

#9. Missed warning signs. When patients get worse, there is usually a period of minutes to hours where there are warning signs. You may feel worse, and there are often changes in your heart rate, blood pressure, and other measurements. Unfortunately, these warning signs are frequently missed, so that by the time they are finally noticed, there could have been irreversible damage. 

#10. Going home—not so fast. Studies show that 1 in 5 Medicare patients return to the hospital within 30 days of discharge from the hospital. This could be due to patients being discharged before they are ready, without understanding their discharge information, without adequate follow-up, or if there are complications with their care. The transition from hospital to home is one of the most vulnerable times, and miscommunication and misunderstanding can kill you after you get home from the hospital too.

IT’S TIME ~ OVER DUE


IT’S TIME ~ OVER DUE



It’s time, long over due! I have been finally getting settled in and keeping busy in my new environment. Ajijic Mexico is very peaceful and has a lot of natural things that can be offered. As I walk the streets and explore the new surroundings, I have come along a lot of creatures of nature.



Tuesday while we were walking back from the organic market, we were surprised to see a horse outside a fence on the side of the road just glazing and eating the grass. Dan made a remark, saying that this is the way the Mexicans mow their grass. I had to take a picture of it, to show the true meaning of how cost saving it is to have nature cut the grass for you.


As we come back from the organic markets we find all kinds of unique things and if you know me, I love taking pictures of them. I really like capturing unusual things that you would not ever think about. For example, every place I lived either in Florida or here there are ants everywhere. Well, I have never seen them as big as I seen this one the other day. I just had to take a picture of this…. Check it out ~ Have you ever seen an ant this big!! Someone stated to Dan that they only survive up to 24 hours. I am sure glad that I am not one of those ants.





One day last week as Dan and I were relaxing looking over the cliff, there was this bird that we spotted that was yellow, my favorite color. I truly fell in love with this bird being full of sunshine and energy.

Every morning I am awaken by the birds that tweet all around our complex. It’s so cheerful and a pleasure to wake up to birds singing.

Well I am off to work on my organic garden, I have these plans in mind and I am excited to share it with all of you once it is done. Put here is a picture of before and soon I will take a picture of the finished product. What I have been doing is every time I go to the organic market I get an organic herb plant and replant it in my porch along with seeds from my vegetables and fruit and plant them in small containers so when they get big I can replant them in my organic garden…








Dan needs to use the computer so I will say good bye for now, I will keep you up dated on my progress on the garden.
