"Since the days of revelation, in fact, the same four corrupting errors have been made over and over again:
- submission to faulty and unworthy authority
- submission to what it was customary to believe
- sumission to the prejudices of the mob
- concealment of ignorance by a false show of unheld knowledge, for no better reason than pride."

The fear, panic and stress of the "likely death sentence" of cancer, contribute to people immediately taking action, usually the strong action of surgery, chemotheray, and/or radiation. The purpose of this report is to help you be aware of some facts about treatment options, some of the causes of cancer upon which alternative treatments are based, and the political maneuverings of the "cancer industry." At the end you will find a list of resources for further information.
The immediate first step to take if you receive a diagnosis of cancer is to get a second opinion. Lab tests can get mixed up or be wrongly interpreted, and this happens more often than you might think.
"Nearly every published study puts the mistake rate of X-ray readers at 20% - 40%. In one research project, it was seen that radiologists working at Harvard University 'disagreed on the interpretation of chest radiographs as much as 56% of the time. Moreover, there were potentially significant errors in 41% of their reports.'"
Be careful who you trust when you read mistake rates like those above. X-rays being misread 20% to 56% of the time? Where are the experts? Why all the guess work? Makes a person feel like a guinea pig, no? We're not guinea pigs, we're human beings.
Doctors are just human, Excitable. That you expect them to be above making mistakes is a little unbelievable. What about the judges who sometimes make poor judgments based on personal bias? Should I expect every single judge to somehow know every circumstance of every case tried before them and make a perfect judgement? No, but I do expect them do their best, just as doctors do.
So, are you not going to try to disprove my point then? Just make a personal attack and be done with it?

We as a people tend to believe people that are considered "authorities" on a subject. Like for example, doctors. They were once considered almost super-human...and to some, including themselves, god-like. Today, more people have wisened up and prefer to take their health into their own hands and not just assume someone in "authority" is looking out for their best interest.
By denying ignorance, we can take the authority away from these people that don't deserve it.

Troubling information, but also some excellent information on the source I provided. I get concerned when I hear terms like "cancer industry." Cancer is just that, a big industry worth billions upon billions. Maintenance of cancer that is, not curing cancer...is big business.

And remember, there are numerous alternative treatments out there. There are other choices besides radiation and chemotherapy...which in many cases, makes the cure worse than the disease. My source above is a long read, but worth it for anyone that has had cancer in their life or life of a loved one....and worth obtaining the knowledge in case anyone out there does some day get diagnosed with cancer.

As far as alternative treatments go, can you show me some studies showing they are more effective at treating cancer than current allopathic methods? I've yet to see anyone post any.
It has been claimed that high-dose vitamin C is beneficial in the treatment of patients with advanced cancer, especially patients who have had no prior chemotherapy. In a double-blind study 100 patients with advanced colorectal cancer were randomly assigned to treatment with either high-dose vitamin C (10 g daily) or placebo. Overall, these patients were in very good general condition, with minimal symptoms. None had received any previous treatment with cytotoxic drugs. Vitamin C therapy showed no advantage over placebo therapy with regard to either the interval between the beginning of treatment and disease progression or patient survival. Among patients with measurable disease, none had objective improvement. On the basis of this and our previous randomized study, it can be concluded that high-dose vitamin C therapy is not effective against advanced malignant disease regardless of whether the patient has had any prior chemotherapy.
Vitamin C therapy showed no advantage over placebo therapy with regard to either the interval between the beginning of treatment and disease progression or patient survival.
"Despite the public's support and growing interest in nontoxic, noninvasive alternative approaches, the medical establishment has waged a fierce campaign against such therapies, labeling them quackery....Official medicine pours billions of dollars into narrow research supporting chemotherapy, radiation and surgery as the major weapons in 'the war on cancer.' That war has been a total failure in slowing the death rate...
"'Everyone should know that the "war on cancer" is largely a fraud,' wrote Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel Prize winner. Another Nobel winner, Dr. James Watson, co-discoverer of the DNA double helix, put the matter bluntly. Watson served for two years on the National Cancer Advisory Board. Asked in 1975 what he thought of The National Cancer Program, he promptly replied, 'It's a bunch of sh*t'"

Same.......applies to cancer. Vitamins can help, but are not a viable treatment by themselves.
"The truth about cures without drugs is suppressed, unless it suits the purpose of the censor to garble it. Whether these cures are effected by chiropractors, Naturopaths, Naprapaths, Osteopaths, Faith Healers, Spiritualists, Herbalists, Christian Scientists, or MDs who use the brains they have, you never read about it in the big newspapers."

Also, it would be great if you could do it without the MD slurs.
RATH VITAMIN C PROTOCOL
There is a sensible high-vitamin-C protocol that has been found to arrest cancer growths. It doesn't cure or digest the cancers, but according to former Linus Pauling associate Matthias Rath, MD, this protocol restricts or halts the growth of malignant tumors by deactivating the enzyme that cancer tumors emit, malignin, which allows the tumor to “eat” through ordinary tissue. Malignin is the mirror image (sterioisomer) of trypsin. Rath's therapy may allow the body to digest the tumors more slowly, or the tumor may calcify.
While the jury is still out, with large tumors, the risk of toxemia may be less using the Rath protocol than the Beard/Wolf/Kelley enzyme therapy all by itself. However, only the enzyme therapy has the 100-year track record of success. This author would recommend Brewer's cesium therapy for 30 days as an adjunct to enzymes before starting the Rath therapy.
The daily protocol from Dr. Matthias Rath is reportedly
14,000 mg Vitamin C
12,000 mg Lysine
2,000 mg Proline
1,000 mg Green Tea Extract (EGCG)
No doubt, this vitamin-C protocol improves the health of the pancreas.

You both need to either take a step back from discussing things with eachother or learn how to do it while being nice and not taking threads off topic constantly because you don't get along!
