Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy uses small doses of radiation projected by
machines aimed at the sick organ(s) or radioactive
implants. The unit of measurement is the electron volt. For
deep organs, this can reach 25 million electron volts.
Radiotherapy appears to increase life expectancy for some
cancers but is plagued by a large number of side effects.
Most common is the fatigue associated with this form of
treatment. Patients who receive Radiotherapy for breast
cancer may subsequently develop lung cancer. One study of
31 patients treated this way showed that 19 of them went on
to develop lung cancer about 17 years later (Med Oncol.
1994).
A risk of fibrosis and damaged cells is also possible when
Radiation bullets are inserted in the vagina to treat
cervical cancer (Diagn Cytol 1995).
High dose of Radiotherapy used in certain difficult cancers
lower the life expectancy of the patient. Bladder problems,
incontinence, sexual malfunction, vomiting, diarrhoea and
heart problems may occur after radiation to the abdomen.
Radiotherapy to the head can cause damage to the salivary
and tear duct glands as well as to the brain. Radiotherapy
can also damage bones and make them weaker and prone to
fractures.
Edward Griffin states: "Radiology.. spreads the cancer and
weakens the patient's resistance to other diseases. Serious
and painful side effects, including heart failure. No
evidence that treated patients live any longer, on the
average, than those not treated. Statistical rate of long
term survival after metastasis is close to zero" (World
Without Cancer by Edward Griffin).
Surgery
Dr Richard Evans states: "there is no survival disadvantage
to leaving tumour cells alone and simply observing the
patient" ("Making the right choice" (Avery Publishing) by
Dr Richard Evans) A review in Med Hypoth, 1993 also claimed
that surgery does not make any difference as to the
survival of the patient.
Surgery is believed by many to cause the spreading of
cancer by puncturing the cancerous tumour and spreading its
content to surrounding cells. Surgery will also cause
trauma to the area and this in turn will cause a healing
reaction that can cause the further development of
cancerous cells (a theory offered by John Beard, professor
of embryology at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.
His paper was published in 1902 in the British Medical
journal the Lancet).
It is also difficult, even for the most competent surgeon,
to remove all cancerous cells. Should some of the cancer
cells be left in the patient, they may become surrounded by
scar tissues. These scar tissues would protect the cancer
that could not then be attacked by the pancreatic enzymes
necessary to destroy the tumour.
However, surgery, if performed properly, can save the life
of patients by clearing an important blockage and buying
them time to properly fight their disease.
Statistically speaking, surgery to remove tumours located
near the main organs or reproductive system has a 10-15%
chance of helping patients to a longer life. When the
cancer has already spread, the chances of long term
survival are very poor.
The tumour itself will not kill the patient. However what
happens, is that cancerous tumours keep on growing and
takes more and more space inside the body. Eventually, it
may grow so big that it will prevent the organ it is in
from working properly. The tumour may also affect the
surrounding organ and squeezed them once again preventing
their proper functioning.
You must be completely puzzled now as to what your approach
to a serious disease should be.
Don't. The golden rule to fight any disease is very
holistic (mind/ body and spirit)
1- Sort out your emotions (mind) 2- Sort out your diet
(body) and environmental toxins 3- Re-energise your body
with treatments or good supplements (more about this later)
and don't panic. In the words of George Ohsawa: "there is
no incurable disease - only incurable people". But don't
leave it to late. Take care of your health BEFORE you are
sick.
