SENIORS PAY MORE FOR CANCER DRUGS. A WORKAROUND COULD BE LONGEVINEX

This should wake up everyone.  

What this says is that more and more people are relying on their doctor's or oncologist's advice to treat cancer.  

Seniors pay more out of pocket for cancer drugs today than they did in 2010, according to a new JAMA study.

The big picture: The Affordable Care Act reduced seniors' share of their drug bills, but price increases—on new and old drugs alike—have canceled out those savings.

Between the lines: There are 13 cancer pills in Part D [the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit] that were also covered in 2010. What seniors pay for the vast majority of them is expected to increase this year.

• For example, out-of-pocket spending on Revlimid increased, on average, by more than $4,000 between 2010 and 2018.

Yes, but: Many cancer drugs aren't covered by Medicare Part D. They are instead in Part B because they're administered by a doctor rather than picked up at a pharmacy.

Go deeper: Cancer drugs are too expensive, WHO says

There are workarounds to Obamacare and Medicare, workarounds that your doctor or oncologist will never tell you about.  Never.  Instead, these doctors are trained to keep you addicted to their medical protocols and their toxic chemotherapy.  They do this by first feeding their patients with a heavy dose of fear, "Best-case scenario, the chemo will give you an additional two years."  This is monstrously true.   From the oncologist's standpoint, why would he, or she, offer you workarounds or alternative to toxic chemotherapy?  I witnessed a 20-year-old, athletic boy, a very good young man, die from chemotherapy.  The kid had age on his side: he had the advantage of a 20-year-old immune system.  But the oncologists put it in his parents' ears that the chemotherapy they wanted to prescribe him was the same avant-garde therapy that Lance Armstrong took, so they bought the farm, a decision that ultimately caused the death of their only child.  Put arsenic in front of people, tell them that Lebron James received the same treatment and all doubt is removed.  So it's important to have options against your oncologist.  

Know that vitamin C alone has amazing anti-cancer effects.  I know, I know.  People tend to assume that vitamin C is for colds and could never tackle the pernicious organ inflammation of cancer, right?  Or could it?  The evidence that it does is extensive.  Let's take a look.  

Here's evidence from Japan that when taking high amounts of vitamin C it increases the anticancer effect of radiotherapy.  So there's that.  But what about as a preventative?  Vitamin C works even better when excess or extracellular iron is removed. 

A breakthrough in the understanding of [vitamin] C therapy for cancer. Researchers in Japan report extracellular iron decomposes hydrogen peroxide generated by vitamin C. The inhibition of cancer cell growth via vitC is blocked by the presence of iron. [Scientific Reports 2018] This was demonstrated in leukemia cells in a lab dish.  

So what is a cancer patient to do, eat less red meat?  Yes, less red meat found in beef, chicken (dark meat), and pork (yes, those pork chops are red meat).  Reduce red meat intake AND take an iron-chelating supplement, like vitamin C and IP6.  

With this new understanding, researchers employed iron-binding molecules prior to vitamin C treatment with demonstrable anti-cancer effects.  An iron-chelating drug, or donation of blood to reduce iron load, or a low iron diet (avoidance of red meat) increased the cell-killing effect of vitamin C. A reduction of iron combined with vitamin C infusions worked synergistically to the point where detection and invasion by tumor cells was completely eliminated. 

Check out this excerpt from a report on Resveratrol from Bill Sardi. I don't, if I were to read this and I had cancer, I'd certainly want to give it extra attention.  

No single molecule, natural or man-made, has been proven to cure cancer. Most cancer chemotherapy consists of multiple drugs. But then again, there is resveratrol.

It was a breathtaking moment in the history of medicine. It is nearly forgotten now, but momentarily relived for readers here. A researcher had been dispatched across the globe to test and examine over 30,000 natural molecules for their ability to quell cancer. Unexpectedly, one molecule stood out from the rest.

John Pezzuto PhD, the researcher who traveled thousands of miles for the National Cancer Institute to put these natural molecules to the test, said: “Of all the plants we’ve tested for cancer chemo-preventive activity and all the compounds we’ve seen, this one has the greatest promise.”

Resveratrol blocks all three stages of cancer genesis:  initiation, promotion and progression.  No anti-cancer drug comes even close to doing this.  Resveratrol may be as close as biologists will ever come to a singular cure for cancer. Oddly, even though resveratrol has been demonstrated in numerous studies to help overcome cancer drug resistance and to quell cancer itself, it is not even used as a secondary medication in cancer therapy today.

According to Dr. Pezzuto, a recent research study involving resveratrol showed that it switched hundreds of genes at one time. Commenting on that study, Dr. Pezutto likened resveratrol to a “whiff that induces a biologically specific tsunami.” Those are strong words from a usually reserved investigator. 

If you're going to spend more out-of-pocket money on your care, you might as well spend on a nutritional compound that has a known and effective track record.  Resveratrol is the most studied compound in red wine, partly because of all the benefits from it.  But not all Resveratrol products are equal.  There are scores of Resveratrol products on the market, but Bill Sardi's Longevinex is by far the most tested.
