Pancreatic cancer cellsCANCER: COSTS AND CURES
This is a factual account of all the money spent on this billion dollar industry and the success rate all this money buys. Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 8.2 million deaths in 2012. If newly developed tools for cancer diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up become more expensive, medical expenditures for cancer could reach as high as $207 billion, said the researchers from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the NIH (CANCER, 2015).
The analysis appears online, Jan. 12, 2011, in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (NIH, 2011).Cancers figure among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with approximately 14 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer related deaths in 2012. The number of new cases is expected to rise by about 70% over the next 2 decades (NIH, 2011).
Among men, the 5 most common sites of cancer diagnosed in 2012 were lung, prostate, colorectum, stomach, and liver cancer. Among women the 5 most common sites diagnosed were breast, colorectum, lung, cervix, and stomach cancer. Around one third of cancer deaths are due to the 5 leading behavioral and dietary risks: high body mass index, low fruit and vegetable intake, lack of physical activity, tobacco use, alcohol use (NIH, 2011).
Tobacco use is the most important risk factor for cancer causing around 20% of global cancer deaths and around 70% of global lung cancer deaths. Cancer causing viral infections such as HBV/HCV and HPV are responsible for up to 20% of cancer deaths in low- and middle-income countries. More than 60% of world’s total new annual cases occur in Africa, Asia and Central and South America. These regions account for 70% of the world’s cancer deaths. It is expected that annual cancer cases will rise from 14 million in 2012 to 22 million within the next 2 decades (NIH, 2011).
The question I have is; if cancer rates are constantly going up and cancer costs are constantly going up who is benefiting? I would submit the $207 billion dollar cancer industry is the only beneficiary. If a cure came on the market do you suppose the multi-billion dollar cancer industry would embrace it and promote its implementation world-wide? I think not. Armed with this logic shouldn’t we at least look for a cure for cancer? I think so.
Dr. Max Gerson cured so many cancer patients he was nominated for the Nobel Prize. Instead the FDA revoked his license to practice medicine. He left the United States and opened a clinic in Mexico. His 85 year old daughter is still in Mexico providing cures for cancer victims at the Gerson Institute (Gerson, n.d.).
Nobel Prize winner Albert Schweitzer, M.D. was cured of (TB) lung tuberculosis by Dr. Gerson. In 1946, Dr. Max Gerson demonstrated recovered patients before the Pepper-Neely Congressional Subcommittee, during hearings on a bill to fund research into cancer treatment. Although only a few peer-reviewed journals were receptive to Gerson’s then “radical” idea that diet could affect health, he continued to publish articles on his therapy and case histories of cured patients (Gerson, n.d.).
In 1958, after thirty years of clinical experimentation, Dr. Max Gerson published A Cancer Therapy: Which contained the Results of 50 Cases. This medical monograph details the theories, treatment, and results achieved by a great scientist and physician. Gerson died in 1959, eulogized by long-time friend, Albert Schweitzer M.D. (Gerson, n.d.).
Of course there are many licensed doctors who are curing cancer today and the information is suppressed by the AMA, FDA and pharmaceutical industry. If I were to contract cancer I probably wouldn’t use chemotherapy, surgery or radiation. I would probably use the Gerson Therapy which you can find online for free.

How about you?

Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes, the Cure

/ deduction1040 / Leave a comment

leading-complications-diabetesStress and sugar intake are the primary causes of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Stress involves flooding the blood with glucose which increases insulin causing insulin resistance and causing diabetes to become a progressive disease. Sugar intake involves the intake of sucrose (sugar) which is ½ glucose and ½ fructose which causes obesity.

The glucose goes into your blood and the fructose goes into your liver becoming ethanol, a carbohydrate and a toxin. Fructose simultaneously raises insulin and blocks lepton, the chemical that makes you stop eating. I am very careful not to prescribe any treatments that oppose a medical doctor’s prescribed treatment (insulin). However the truth is that anything that will reduce the level of glucose in the blood and lower insulin will result in the reversal of type 2 diabetes and obesity.

So the three pronged intervention includes guided imagery or meditation to maintain homeostasis, reduce stress and keep the glucose level from spiking, lowering glucose and insulin with exercise and diet by completely eliminating sugar consumption. This means taking all forms of sugar out of the house including things like honey, demerara, muscovado, corn syrup and maple syrup. Reading labels to avoid sugar in processed foods which are disguised with names like cane syrup or beet juice.

The bottom line is that as long as insulin is the recommended treatment for type 2 diabetes it will only get worse and become a progressive disease. Insulin chemically opens the door in cells to admit glucose. When too much insulin causes those cells to become insulin resistant the cells will not admit the glucose and so the blood becomes hyperglycemic. This is the very definition of type 2 diabetes and the cause of obesity.
Any attempt to disseminate this knowledge to a diabetic is a violation of law and you could get into trouble.

What is White Coat Syndrome?

/ deduction1040 / Leave a comment

mickey1_7717“White Coat Syndrome” describes a phenomenon where a patient’s blood pressure goes up in the examination room when in the company of a doctor in a white coat. Why do you suppose the patient’s blood pressure rises? I submit that it rises in response to fear, anxiety and stress.

I believe that white coat syndrome is intentionally promoted by the doctor as a motivating agent to motivate the patient to purchase the goods and services (drugs and surgery) that the doctor is selling. His/her questions involve the family history of the patient which suggests that their illness is the result of bad genes and bad luck leaving the patient feeling like they have no control over their illness. Their only salvation is the treatment of their doctor.

This feeling of helplessness causes an elevation of stress which exacerbates, aggravates, worsens, inflames and compounds the symptoms of the illness and the illness itself. The drugs that the doctor prescribes mask the symptoms but don’t cure the disease. The disease becomes a chronic condition, never improved but held at bay by the treatments the doctor prescribes.

The business model of medicine involves the doctor taking control with fear and addicting the patient to a lifetime of medical treatment including drugs and surgery that goes on for the rest of their life. The biggest cause of bankruptcy in America is medical bills. This is beneficial for the doctor but devastating to the 2 million people who go bankrupt each year because of medical treatment (Health, 2013).

The rising costs of medical care reflect a disregard for the patient’s health and a focus on the accumulation of wealth. The healthcare insurance industry doesn’t protect their clients from the medical industry but are also focused on the accumulation of wealth to the detriment of the patient. The patient is stressed out, sick, dying and bankrupted by the medical system and the insurance system (Health, 2013).
