Quotes on Cancer

1. The field of integrative oncology is rapidly becoming the future of cancer therapy- Dr. Wiliam Li, MD. 

2. Cancer is potentially the most preventable and most curable of the major life-threatening diseases facing humankind.  Dr. John R. Seffrin, CEO American Cancer Society

3. In a 1997, a report from Columbia University School of Public Health in New York, stated that 95% of all cancer is caused by diet and environment.  Raymond Francis, M.Sc, author Never Fear Cancer Again

4. Cancer is a wake-up call that something fundamental needs to change in the body, mind and spirit.  Dr. Michael Karlfeldt, ND, PhD

5. Our bodies have what is needed to beat cancer, if we will support is appropriately.  Dr. Michael Karlfeldt, ND, PhD

6. It will not be long before the entire population will have to decide whether we will all die of cancer or whether we will have enough wisdom, courage, and will power to change fundamentally all our living and nutritional conditions.  Dr. Max Gerson, Ph.D, past president, American Cancer Society

7. 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.   Alan Nixon, Ph.D., past president, American Cancer Society

8. The only real defense against cancer is the immune system.  Everyone produces cancer every day, but if the immune system is where it should be, those cancer cells are eliminated and we never know it....Once a person has developed cancer even though treatments get it into remission, it will recur again unless the body conditions that allowed it to develop in the first place are corrected.  George C. Pack, MD, cancer specialist at Cornell Medical School. 

9. However, the bottom line is that while cancer as a genetic disease looks to be impossibly complex, cancer as a metabolic disease appears to be remarkably simple.  eBioMedicine,  division of the Lancet    https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ebiom.2015.05.022

Conventional Oncology Treatments

1. Conventional oncology only addresses tumors which is a product of the cancer process....which is like treating only muscle aches when somebody has the flu.     Cancer is not a thing you can cut, poison or burn- it is a biological process affecting the entire body.  Raymond Francis, M.Sc, author Never Fear Cancer Again

2. Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to those that support them.  Linus Pauling, Nobel Laureate

3. Published research has shown that a substantial number of oncologists would not use chemotherapy on themselves or their loved ones because they consider it to be ineffective and dangerous.   Raymond Francis, M.Sc., author Never Fear Cancer Again

4. The five year survival rate for most forms of cancer was the same in 1995 as they were in 1950.   2000 Journal of the American Medical Association.  (Francis p.23) 

5. Twenty years of clinical trials using chemotherapy on advanced lung cancer have yielded survival improvement of only two months.   2002 New England Journal of Medicine (Francis p.23) 

6. You can cut, poison and burn the symptoms of cancer (ie the Tumor) but unless you turn off the cancer process- you still have cancer and it will come back. (Francis p23) 

7. Chemotherapy and radiation can increase the risk of developing second cancer by up to 100 times due to the suppression of the immune system.  Dr Samuel  Epstein, Congressional Record of Sept 9, 1997.  (Francis p24)

8. Reasons why conventional oncology is the  only  option  available to patients in the US:  

   • Ignorance and fear of proven effective  naturopathic/metabolic based treatment options.  The cancer industry vigorously suppresses and attacks every effective naturopathic treatment.

   • Legal reasons- Chemotherapy, radiation and surgery have been written into the law in about half of the states.   In California it is a felony to use any other treatment for cancer.    

   • Insurance regulations- prohibit an oncologist from suggesting alternative cancer treatments to their patients.   These legal strongholds make progress in cancer treatment next to impossible. 

   • Economic factors-  The cancer industry provides economic benefit those working on treating vs curing cancer.   Preventing and curing cancer would be financially devastating to a very large industry.    

DIET and NUTRITION

1. 1. What we humans consume for food has undergone more profound change in the last century than in the previous one hundred years....what we put into our bodies has sown the seeds for our current epidemics of illness and disease. Randall Fitzgerald, author of The Hundred-Year Lie. 

   2. Trying to beat cancer while eating a diet that constantly raises blood glucose is like trying to put out a forest fire while somebody nearby is throwing gasoline on the trees.   Patrick Quillin, author- Beating Cancer with Nutrition

   3. The average individual is unwittingly feeding the fire of cancer growth (though not necessarily causing it) by not only frequently spiking insulin (providing a growth signal to the cancer), but also providing the cancer with all the fuel (i.e., glucose) it needs to grow. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38429859/ .  Dr. Benjamin Bikman, Leading Insulin, Metabolic Health researcher

DOGMA and CONVENTIONAL WISDOM  - Why it is so hard to consider alternative possibilities in today's medical system. 

1. Conventional cancer treatment is a search-and-destroy mission; find a tumor, cut it out, poison it with chemotherapy, or obliterate it with radiation.  If there is an approach to cancer that obviously does not work, this is it.....the death rate for cancer has not budged over the last fifty years; in fact is has increased.  Despite the fact that this approach doesn't work, it is...…almost universally accepted.    Julian Whitaker, MD, Whitaker Wellness Institute  

2. The central tragedy of the prevailing dogma of medicine is that it has convinced the public that diseases can only be treated with drugs and surgery, and that disease prevention and reversal with nondrug natural measures is not scientific,   Majid Ali, MD, former professor of pathology, Columbia University

3. Bias, (towards conventional medicine), at its root, is always about feeling comfortable, secure and at ease with teh familiar and as a corollary, uncomfortable, distrustful, and angry with the unfamiliar, however, irrational the discomfort, distrust, and anger might be.  Nicholas J. Gonzales, MD- author- What Went Wrong

4. The academic institutions are simply too entrenched in their ways to allow for fair evaluations of treatment methods that in their very heart they abhor. Ibid
