The American Cancer Society Admitted That Untreated Cancers Often Go Away Naturally
http://www.getholistichealth.com/41065/the-american-cancer-society-admitted-that-untreated-cancers-often-go-away-naturally/
Written by Sarah C. Corriher
While researching the use of alternative therapies that were utilized by Suzanne Somers, we came across doctors and media outlets who desperately tried to malign her reputation. Their responses were so hasty that they accidentally revealed statistics that are not normally shared with the public.
“We’re finding that about 25 to 30 percent of some cancers stop growing at some point, that can make some treatments look good that aren’t doing anything. Until doctors figure out how to identify which patients have cancers that won’t progress, the only option is to treat everyone.”
— Dr. Otis Brawley, American Cancer Society’s Chief Medical Officer
While some people might consider 25 to 30 percent to be a relatively low percentage, this is actually much higher than the success rate for chemotherapy. The true life-long cure rate bounces between 2 and 4 percent for orthodox treatments. When compared, 30% suddenly becomes a very impressive figure with a gain of 10 times. Of course, this number speaks only for those who supposedly get no treatments at all. Alternative therapies get better life-long cure rates than 30%, but these numbers are not discussed publicly by medical officials, and rarely in private. Why aren’t these figures ever given to patients who are diagnosed with cancer? Why are they instead told the lie that they will certainly die if they refuse chemotherapy and radiation when almost the opposite is true?
We have searched tirelessly for the success rates of those who decided to walk away from all treatments for several years, but we only found it when the American Cancer Society stumbled in its attempts to defend its bruised reputation from meekly Susan Somers. Why didn’t they publicly release those numbers before? The recovery of Suzanne Somers was obviously quite embarrassing for them, because not only is she one of many who has cured herself of cancer permanently (not just 5 years of survival) but she also went public about her experiences with alternative treatments. Had she religiously followed the orthodox therapies, she would have had a 96% chance of not being alive, and her protracted death would have been truly horrific.
The quotation cited earlier makes another interesting point. Doctors really have no clue which cancers will progress, and which ones will not. Therefore, we must ask if early testing is really a good idea. With early testing, not only do the tests actually stimulate cancers through radiation, cutting, and poisoning, but doctors frequently discover anomalies that would otherwise naturally disappear if left alone. They always treat those abnormalities, and the patients almost always die from the treatments. People nowadays die from the treatments instead of the cancers, and this is shown in the establishment’s own statistics. Whenever a body is exposed to chemotherapy, cancers will strike sooner or later regardless of whether they existed initially. All chemotherapy drugs are carcinogenic, and they weaken all healthy cells. This is admitted in the official literature for adverse effects for all of the so-called anti-cancer medications, and massive cellular destruction is officially a part of standard treatments by design. They claim that their medicines attack the weaker cancer cells, but they actually do that by attacking all of the cells, and thereby the very immune system that is so critical for recovery.
“Call it the arrow of cancer. Like the arrow of time, it was supposed to point in one direction. Cancers grew and worsened. But as a paper in The Journal of the American Medical Association noted last week, data from more than two decades of screening for breast and prostate cancer call that view into question. Besides finding tumors that would be lethal if left untreated, screening appears to be finding many small tumors that would not be a problem if they were left alone, undiscovered by screening. They were destined to stop growing on their own or shrink, or even, at least in the case of some breast cancers, disappear.”
— Gina Kolata, the New York Times, October 26, 2009
The success rate of curing cancer is not going to rise much in orthodox medicine, because it is unwilling to consider any less profitable methodologies. A rise in orthodox cancer treatment success rates would indicate that their methods of calculating cure rates have changed, not the actual survival rates. It is how the science of modern medicine is cooked. Barely surviving for 5 years is currently counted as a successful cure, but patients usually die between the 5 and 10 year mark. It is called “cooking the books” in accounting circles. Most people are shocked when they learn that those who die during drug trials are censored from the records, because the departed did not “complete the study”. Getting killed in an experimental drug trial actually helps a drug company’s chance of getting that drug approved, because those who get the sickest are not counted.

DECEMBER 12
DECEMBER 12
Every December 12, Catholics all over the world (especially in Latin America) celebrate the day of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
But in Mexico this day is one of the most important holidays of the year!
This year Dan and I went down to Chapala and Ajijic to experience the celebration. Here are some pics. THE ART WORK IS FABULOUS

LOOKING OUT OUR BACK WINDOW
Today we looked out our back window and saw some black birds and the Beatle's song reminded how free we are. Dan took a picture to describe that we are humble to say we both managed our cancer. Two black birds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaSMROk-D-A

SAFE AND SOUND
SAFE
AND SOUND
Dan and I are back at home in Ajijic. I have a lot to be humble for, met a lot of
fabulous people throughout this past four years. If I was not DX with cancer and didn’t choose
to be treated in Mexico, I would not be where I am today. Life is funny it takes you in different
directions sometimes. I would like to
stop for a moment and thank, Dr. Perez, Vera Lopez and her husband, Dr. Garcia,
Daniel and Monica, Todd and Sandra for your friendship and support. Your friendship will always be treasured.
We are safe and sound, continuing our journey to
manage our cancer. Per the doctor there
is no sign of cancer in either Dan or I.
Cheers to us, for we have been following doctor’s orders. Dr. Perez is so pleased with my condition
that he is changing my home program and will be giving me less supplements to
take.
It seems like forever that I heard the word cancer for
the first time, but through the years I have been educated to realize that it
is something for me to control with my lifestyle. I am so blessed that I did not have to be
operated on and have chemo. I wish the
treatment program that I chose would be accepted in the USA and the FDA would
allow the doctors to use it. It is so
easy to the human body, no long term side effects.
Looking forward to the Holidays and experiencing it
here in Mexico. I got my Christmas tree
up and the lights sparkle at night. Until
the days ahead, have a fabulous December.

MONDAY BLUES
MONDAY BLUES
Well, Dan is having the T-Cell modulator and then we will be out and just in time for our dinner date with Daniel and Monica. Since my treatment four years ago we have met some fabulous people and this visit we were able to get together with them and enjoy some quality time.
I have met several patients this visit and were able to talk with them and get their e-mails to keep in touch for I feel it is very important for them to have a positive experience .and keep up with the home program.
Well, it was time to leave and have dinner with Daniel and Monica . They had selected a Japanese restaurant, which was something that I was looking forward to. The unthinkable happened, before we were able to order, Dan looked at me and said he felt strange. Before you knew it he had passed out. Daniel and I shook him and after about a minute he came back, but got sick all over himself and the floor. Within minutes we had him in the backseat and off to the ER of Hospital. Because of his issues I was concerned. There are side effects, but only flu like symptoms , not passing out. To make a long story short, thank God for Daniel being there for me. Dan is alright the symptoms only lasted for about two hours. He is up and ready to go ~ normal. Never the less we did not eat dinner.
Christmas is coming even in Mexico, its all around. So please give thanks and enjoy the holidays. The girls that greets us at the facility are cheerful and full of spirit. I would like to thank them for making the stay a pleasant one…
FDA Approves 54 New Cancer Drugs Without Proof They Extend Life -
HAD TO SHARE
Health Impact News Editor Comments
The average chemotherapy cancer drug costs $10,000.00 per month, and only extends a patient’s life by an average of 42 days. (See: Doctors Expose Cancer Drugs Scandal.)
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that over the past 10 years, the FDA has approved 54 cancer drugs with no proof they are extending lives. They report that the FDA does not even require drug companies to prove their drugs extend lives:
Excerpts:
For decades, researchers have focused ondeveloping new cancer drugs that save lives or improve the quality of life. But when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allowed Inlyta, a $10,000 a month drug, on the market in 2012, there was no proof that it did either.
Inlyta is not an exception to the rule.
A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/MedPage Today analysis of 54 new cancer drugs found that over the last decade the FDA allowed 74% of them on the market without proof that they extended life. Seldom was there proof of improved quality of life, either.
Nor has the FDA demanded companies provide such evidence.

We Lost the War on Cancer – Review of Alternative Cancer Therapies
We have lost the war on cancer. At the beginning of the last century, one person in twenty would get cancer. In the 1940s it was one out of every sixteen people. In the 1970s it was one person out of ten. Today one person out of three gets cancer in the course of their life.
The cancer industry is probably the most prosperous business in the United States. In 2014, there will be an estimated 1,665,540 new cancer cases diagnosed and 585,720 cancer deaths in the US. $6 billion of tax-payer funds are cycled through various federal agencies for cancer research, such as the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The NCI states that the medical costs of cancer care are $125 billion, with a projected 39 percent increase to $173 billion by 2020.
The simple fact is that the cancer industry employs too many people and produces too much income to allow a cure to be found. All of the current research on cancer drugs is based on the premise that the cancer market will grow, not shrink.
John Thomas explains to us why the current cancer industry prospers while treating cancer, but cannot afford to cure it in Part I. In Part II, he surveys the various alternative cancer therapies that have been proven effective, but that are not approved by the FDA.

Instead, the agency approved the drugs based on surrogate measures, such as a tumor shrinking, rather than the gold standard and most reliable measure of cancer research, patients actually surviving longer. The problem is cancer is complicated — a tumor might stop growing or shrink in one spot, then reappear somewhere else, or even in multiple places.So just remember these facts the next time you take out your wallet or checkbook to donate money to your favorite cancer charity, which pays for the research for these worthless drugs.
