“In the past fifty years, tremendous progress has been made in the early diagnosis of cancer. In that period of time, tremendous progress had been made in the surgical ability to remove tumours. Tremendous progress has been made in the use of radiation and chemotherapy in their ability to shrink or destroy tumours. But, the survival time of the cancer patient today is no greater then it was fifty years ago. What does this mean? It obviously means that we are treating the wrong thing!”- Dr Philip Binzel, M.D., Alive and well Chapter 14…

Dr Binzel has his numbers wrong.
Dr Binzel promotes laetrile for treating cancer.
Dr Binzel also promotes a book by Gary Glum called Full Exposure, that tells us:
Dr Binzel also opens our eyes to the infamous chemtrails-conspiracy.
A real conspiracy-monger, this dr Binzel.
Need we say more?
I think not.

yeah can we I don’t understand what your getting at…??
natalie // March 6, 2009 at 9:44 pm
sorry what is the harm in using laetrile??
beatis // March 6, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Laetrile can be dangerous, because it’s poisonous. And it does nothing against cancer. It’s not a vitamin either BTW.
natalie // March 6, 2009 at 10:04 pm
how is it dangerous??
natalie // March 6, 2009 at 10:07 pm
I still dont understand what your getting at re Dr Binzel…
beatis // March 6, 2009 at 10:10 pm
I don’t find dr Binzel’s judgment very trustworthy. Someone who promotes laetrile as a cure for cancer, hasn’t got his facts right. And these conspiracy theories – I think dr Binzel has a few bees in his bonnet.

Re Laetrile
The kernels contain cyanide. When you take too many of these, they can make you sick or even kill you. Furthermore, they don’t do anything against cancer and taste horrible as well.
natalie // March 6, 2009 at 10:27 pm
oh ok, I might die then as I have apricot kernals every day?? and have been for the last 2 and a half years…
apricot kernals DO have cyanide, however our body’s healthy tissues contain an enzyme called rhodanese which has the ability to completely break down the cyanide, its an enzyme only present in healthy tissues, malignant cancer cells contain no rhodanese…

Chemotherapy contains cyctotoxins, when too much is administered, they make you sick, or even kill you… furthermore they don’t cure cancer.., instead cause hair loss, nausea and vomiting, skin rash, completely breakdown your immune system making you susceptible to all forms of disease and infection which your body would normally fight off on its on and cause irreversible damage to the liver and kidneys…

Chemotherapy does cure cancer. Not always, and not all cancers. But when you have leukemia, you cannot be cured without chemotherapy.
When chemotheraphy is offered as an adjuvant, you can decide whether the sickness and discomfort is worth the gain, which in an adjuvant is limited – in breast cancer, a 5-7 % increase of 10-year survival. When it is used as a neo-adjuvant, it can shrink a large tumour so that it can be surgically removed.
beatis // March 6, 2009 at 10:40 pm
There are websites on the internet advising people to take as many as 80 or more kernels a day, as a treatment for cancer. Amounts like these can make you very sick, while it does nothing against the cancer.
natalie // March 6, 2009 at 10:44 pm
so then it’s not a cure? a cure is a cure meaning the disease in all forms is omitted from the body, is no longer there,
it can’t ‘cure’ under some circumstances and not others “A cure is a substance or procedure that makes a sick or diseased person well” so if not always then how is it a cure?? leukemia is leukemia cancer is cancer…

Nothing is able to always cure everything under all circumstances.
natalie // March 6, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Hmm, better not tell the pharmaceutical companies that!!
natalie // March 6, 2009 at 10:56 pm
My mum had carpal tunnel syndrome in both her wrists for many years, once it reached it’s peak her doctor advised her she would need an operation to “cure” her and relieve the pain but it would leave her un-able to use her wrists for a prolonged period of time and may even have induced secondary damage.
luckily for my mum at the time my brother had just qualified as a rememdial massage therapist! after about 4 treatments on her wrists ( this is around 10 years ago) the carpel tunnel is gone… has never come back… after years of debilitating pain…

People in the pharmaceutical business have cancer too.

Sometimes things get better by doing less. But I suppose that’s difficult for a neurosurgeon.
natalie // March 7, 2009 at 9:57 pm
yeah and ill bet the majority wouldn’t dare put that poison in them….
anaxymperator // March 7, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Ah, that story again. Doctors don’t take chemotherapy. Well, they do.
You’ve made your point btw -you just never believe anything we say, on principle.
It seems all you want to do is rant against standard medicine, without ever bothering to find out if all your blabbing is correct.
I find your lack of education disturbing.
natalie // March 7, 2009 at 10:25 pm
So you think I am un- educated???
actually someone like Beatis for example I take the time to listen to.. she lacks a somewhat aggressive tone you yourself have…
Once again… this is a blog, an opportunity to view opinions… I have my beliefs you have yours, it may be “blabber” to you but if I wasn’t here “ranting” what else would you have to talk/discuss about??
I don’t find anything disturbing about your need to defend standard Cancer medicine, quite possibly you are lucky enough to never have had to experience it…
beatis // March 7, 2009 at 10:50 pm
I know very well standard cancer treatments are by no means pleasant. They are not perfect either. But I do believe standard medicine is still the best we have when it comes to treating cancer. There is no alternative treatment that can cure cancer. Much as we would wish it, it just isn’t so.
I have no problem when people use alternative treatments alongside their standard therapy. Sadly though, there are quite a number of alternative ‘healers’ who tell people that standard treatment will make their cancer worse, or that it will undermine the effect of the alternative treatment to such an extent that it won’t work, or that they don’t have cancer at all. Often, they try to scare them away from standard treatments and convince them that only alternative treatment is an option. The fear of standard treatments often is a strong motivator for people to seek alternative treatments.
A famous Dutch actress with early-stage breast cancer died needlessly because of this. Here is some information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Millecam
The wife of a Dutch politician died of cervical cancer, which was discovered in a very early stage and had an extremely good prognosis. She would need only a tiny operation called conization, no chemo, no radiation. She had a friend who was head of a macrobiotic institution, the ‘Kushi-Institute’. He convinced her that this operation would cause the cancer to spread and that instead she could cure it with a macrobiotic diet and meditation. She died and left her young daughter motherless. You can read the story here: http://anaximperator.wordpress.com/2009/05/01/floras-death-how-belief-in-macrobiotics-killed-my-wife/
My daughter had a friend at school whose mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. As the tumor was still very small, she was advised to have a lumpectomy, followed by radiation. She had friends who practised alternative medicine, who convinced her that there was no need to be ’slashed and burned’. She wasn’t slashed or burned, but when she finally went to the hospital, 3 years later, the cancer had grown to such an extent that she couldn’t be saved. She died a year later.
This is what we want to warn people against, because it happens more often that you might think.

Not un-educated in general, only regarding the things you say related to treating cancer.
natalie // March 8, 2009 at 12:19 am
I have have a family friend, who had early stage breast cancer, she has a double masectomy and 6 months of chemo followed by radiation, she was given the all clear…. 6 months later,she had cancer in her lungs and all through her bones, she died.. leaving behind her husband and 18 month old son…
maybe it was just her time to go…?
beatis // March 8, 2009 at 12:31 am
I don’t know if it was her time to go, I can hardly believe it was. How can it be time for a mother to leave her husband and young child?
Cancer is a nasty disease, too many people still die of it, some cancers start spreading right from the start. But with standard treatments, at least in many cases you have a chance, whereas with alternative treatments you never have.

In response, I simply dont believe in believing everything that is spoonfed to us just because “they tell us” this is the only way forward in treatment, and there’s is nothing else that can be done…
For the last 2 and a half years, I have been researching and finding everything I possibly can On cancer, I have sat in a chemo ward with my mother for 12 months and watched and observed and experienced cancer with her and the other patients, I have accompanied her to a number of her oncologist appointments… Im blabbering now but my point is, is that I may have an un-educated view on cancer in your opinion, but I dont come on here to rant with no good intention or lack of experience… I have valid reasons for questioning the medical system and this blog enables me to do just that, in a constructive manner…

My husband has small cell carcenoma lung cancer. He was diagnosed a little over a year ago. The Dr. told us chemo would prolong his life but he would still die, probably within a year or two. Almost everyone I’ve known who has done chemo has died and been miserable in the interim. We opted not to do the chemo or radiateion. It was inoperable as it was already in a lymph node.
Since that time we have been in a health battle but he feels good, has quality of life and the cancer has only grown 2 cm in a year. We are doing most all the alternatives plus good nutrition and lots of prayer. I expect he will die in the not too distant future but in the meantime we have a life and appreciate every day. We wouldn’t do anything different if we had it to do over again. The Drs. say he is a miracle and are amazed.

@Marjorie
Take care you two.
I also hope that the quality of life stays as long as possible.
