"What about the long-term consequences [of chemotherapy]? Does your body just shrug off the effects of chemotherapy and move on? Of course not. And the consequences are not just to the body, but to the mind too. New studies show that chemotherapy promotes a lingering intellectual deficit. It was found that while more people survive cancer, there has been an increase in cognitive impairment, even years after treatment. Chemotherapy, and specifically tamoxifen, seems to impact the brain negatively, creating cognitive deficit, even though researchers are unsure exactly how. The real question is why the researchers were so surprised. Chemotherapy is an indiscriminate treatment: it assaults the body with highly toxic poisons and attacks and damages every cell in the body, which is why it has so many side effects.
Orthodox chemotherapy is toxic, immunosuppressant, and carcinogenic, so why do the majority of doctors and oncologists still push chemotherapy? First, what is considered an effective cancer treatment is a matter of definition. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines an effectivedrug as one that achieves a 50 percent or more reduction in tumor size for twenty-eight days. But in the real world this definition is completely arbitrary and virtually meaningless. In the vast majority of cases, there is absolutely no correlation between shrinking tumors for twenty-eight days and the cure of the cancer or extension of life. So, when a doctor says effective to a cancer patient, it does not necessarily mean it cures cancer or will help you live longer, only that it temporary shrinks the tumor.
Second, most doctors just don’t know what else to do [beyond chemotherapy]. They face patients that they feel have hopeless conditions and justify the continual loss of life brought about by these drugs because it’s the only alternative they know (along with surgery and radiation). They refer to this stage not as therapy but as experimentation, which is better than telling a patient there is no hope. As for oncologists, they have devoted countless hours to the understanding of poisonous, deadly compounds and how to administer these drugs. This is all they know too. They want to help cancer patients, but they don’t have other options in their arsenal, certainly not options that come from outside the medical fraternity."
