Why are we losing the war against Cancer?

According to the New York Times, adjusting for the size and age of the population, cancer death rates have dropped only 5% since 1950. Would you accept a medical therapy, with this kind of record? Death rates for heart disease are down 64 percent, flue and pneumonia 58%. Even though Billions are collected each year for cancer research nothing happens. Latest News reports, cancer is now the #1 killer. Lots of fat salaries, hundreds of thousands employed,and an interesting fact, - Alternative Medicine can, and is curing some cancers. Main Stream Cancer Therapy, however will not recognize this, because the Big Drug Companies are selling cancer drugs and therapies that are only helping a very few patients. The FDA is hand and foot with the Patent Medicine Companies in not allowing natural medicine to be sold by anyone else. Meanwhile huge profits are being made on Drugs that are too often proving to be useless. If a cancer cure was found tomorrow, thousands of fat salaries would dry up. Do you believe the general public would benefit, or would the Greedy Drug Companies keep on murdering innocent people?

I think both the alternative medicines and the conventional medicines could go hand in hand together in battling this dreaded diseases. My mother have applied both method and so far is surviving cancer. She went on with the conventional method like chemotherapy and she went alternative medicines afterwards. I think it is working for her. She underwent to a clinical trial as well that why she got some new medicines with her that is making her cope with the situation as well. I both owe it with the conventional and alternative medicine.

Most Alternative Doctors interviewed for the Book "Knockout," agreed that it would be advantageous to use both mainstream, and alternative medicines in the fight against Cancer

Oh! I'm so sorry about your sister! I hope and pray she does not suffer! I lost a brother some time ago to throat Cancer. He took the chemo, and suffered terribly! From what I saw then, I would never, never, take the Radiation and Chemotherapy treatments.

I think it's all too plain to see how and why cancer (and myriad other diseases and ailments) are never really "cured"; rather, most of them are merely "treated"...after all, the pharmaceutical, medical, educational, and other facets of our social structure depend hugely on the populations' continued need for them. If all diseases and ailments were miraculously to vanish tomorrow, our global economy would crumble and fall into ruin. Stock markets would collapse, unemployment would skyrocket, Government Agencies would have nothing to do, and on it goes. So sad, so very sad...that we have come to this point in our "evolutionary journey"; for we KNOW that the greed and deception and other predatory and criminal practices that have brought us here are very likely also responsible for blindly and blatantly introducing products and substances which are known to be damaging-to-life; thus, damaging to the human species as a whole. Future generations, born to parents who have been "toxified" through repeated or prolonged exposures to a variety of substances, will undoubtedly "adapt", as life usually does, but adapt to what? To living with new and foreign man-made chemicals in their systems? Perhaps that's what it will take; who knows? Perhaps future bodies will learn and adapt new defenses against such toxins; only time will tell. Some groups and institutions are working hard toward ending practices which are known to be dangerous and damaging to life.

Also, visit http://www.ewg.org for information and details of the Environmental Working Group's endeavors to shed light on this subject.

Thanks for the Good Luck wishes! It would appear that they will stand us in good stead. Knockout (the book) acknowledges that in almost all cases Cancer is never cured. The patient learns to "manage" it, and lives (quite healthy) with it for the rest of his/her life.

hi barehugs I have a theory that as we keep getting additives in our foods that cannot be good for us, maybe a lot of top notch doctors have not got a clue as to just what which additives can do to our bodies. oh sure there are some bad doctors but heavens there are a whole lot of excellent doctors who have had success in treating and getting cures for cancer.too a lot of people will not go to a doctor for help until the cancer is spread throughtout their bodies.Doctors are not Gods, they are human beings.If many people would go to their doctor at the first feeling somehting seems wrong,t here wo uld be a lot more cures. I think that conventional medicine and alternative can go together but be fair,once cancer has invaded the whole body how can anyone but God cure that person. too if we all would read the labels on food stuff and not eat any thing with additives in them we might slow down a lot of cancer .

You are right there Hatley. Eating organically and incorporating more leafy greens and cancer preventing herbs into our diets can not only prevent cancer, but reverse it completely if we catch it early enough. It is no coincidence that cancer has risen globally at the same time as American fast food chains have spread throughout the world.

Flavor enhancers, Shelf-life extenders, and Food Preservatives, are added by the food companies to help the "bottom line," which is profit. There is no consideration given to the health and wellness of the customer. Cancer prevention is much easier to achieve than the cure. Sugars are the food that cancer thrives on.

There is absolutely no reason for society to be losing the fight against cancer. Cures and preventative measures have been known for a very long time. The curing of cancer is not going to be found in chemotherapy or any other type of radiation therapy. It is not going to be found by raising millions of dollars through charities that solve nothing. The cure to cancer can be found in cutting out all chemicals from our lives. I know of people who have done this and I believe in it. The medical community and the FDA (in the USA), (TGA in Australia) are not interested in cures as they are benefiting massively financially from the sickness industry. They create laws that do not allow natural medicine to be used as a cure. There are many herbs such as Herb Robert that can heal and prevent cancer. They create oxygen in the blood cells which creates an environment in which the cancerous cells cannot survive. There is an article about it here: http://www.herbsarespecial.com.au/isabells_blog/herb-robert-natural-alterative.html

Me too. I do try to spread the message of healthy eating, but you have to be careful not to come across too forceful or people get turned off the message.

For me it is because many now a days not cooked for there food they go to fast food they don't want to eat vegetable so cancer is the end of every thing when they get old.
