As I continue my research on alternative ways to heal cancer, I came across a
feature on Dr. Ralph Moss, who has written the book, Questioning Chemotherapy, which
documents the ineffectiveness of chemotherapy in treating most cancers.

96% to 98% of cancers are not eliminated by chemotherapy. The vast majority of
cancers, such as breast, colon, and lung cancer are barely touched by chemotherapy.
However, there is another category where chemotherapy has a relatively minor
effect--The most \"successful\" of these is in Stage 3 ovarian cancer, where
chemotherapy appears to extend life by perhaps eighteen months, and small-cell lung
cancer in which chemotherapy might offer six more months.

Effective cancer treatment is a matter of definition. The FDA defines an \"effective\"
drug as one which achieves a 50% or more reduction in tumor size for 28 days. In the
vast majority of cases there is absolutely no correlation between shrinking tumors
for 28 days and the cure of the cancer or extension of life.

When the cancer patient hears the doctor say \"effective,\" he or she thinks, and
logically so, that \"effective\" means it cures cancer. But all it means is temporary
tumor shrinkage.

Chemotherapy usually doesn\'t cure cancer or extend life, and it really does not
improve the quality of the life either. What patients consider \"good quality of
life\" seems to differ from what the doctors consider. To most it is just common
sense that a drug that makes you throw up, and lose your hair, and wrecks your
immune system is not improving your quality of life. Chemotherapy can give you
life-threatening mouth sores. People can slough the entire lining of the intestines!
One longer-term effect is particularly tragic: people who\'ve had chemotherapy no
longer respond to nutritional or immunologically-based approaches to their cancers.
And since chemotherapy doesn\'t cure 96% to 98% of all cancers anyway...People who
take chemotherapy have sadly lost their chance of finding another sort of cure.

It\'s especially telling that in a number of surveys most chemotherapists have said
they would not take chemotherapy themselves or recommend it for their families.
Chemotherapy drugs are the most toxic substances ever put deliberately into the
human body. They are known poisons, they are designed poisons. The whole thing began
with experiments with \"mustard gas,\" the horrible chemical-warfare agents from World
War I.

Dr. Braverman says that there is no solid tumor incurable in 1976 that is curable
today. He concluded that chemotherapy overall is ineffective. A recent search turned
up exactly zero reviews of his work in American journals, even though it was
published in 1990. The belief is that this is not because his work was
unimportant--but because it\'s irrefutable.

So why is chemotherapy still pushed by the large majority of oncologists? There\'s a
tremendous conflict going on in the minds of honest, sensitive, caring oncologists.
They\'re in a very difficult position because they\'ve been trained to give these
drugs. They\'re really in a bind, because they went into oncology to help the cancer
patient, yet the tools they\'ve been given don\'t work.

Personal Belief Systems Determine the Choices You Make

The choices to be made in treating cancer are not easy ones, because there is so
little certainty of cure in any of them. The course that someone chooses to take is
very personal, and reflects not only that person\'s knowledge of the options, but
also his/her beliefs.

Yet, because we are strongly influenced by our natural fear of death, we lineup for
conventional cancer therapy, not so much believing that it will work, but hoping
that it will not fail. If expensive, debilitating procedures to eliminate acne scars
had the same failure rate as cancer treatment, they would be abandoned. It is only
because cancer is so often fatal that conventional approaches were not abandoned
long ago. We continue to use them not because they work, but because those who
perform them have so vigorously eliminated any other choice.
