A better thing to study is the relationship between profits and cancer. It was a 12-year study, done in 1994, that looked at adult cancers.
97% of the time chemotherapy doesn't work. So why is it still used? One reason and one reason only: money. If you go to a medical doctor, an M.D., with a sinus infection and he prescribes an antibiotic, he gets no financial kickback. Now, if he prescribes 5,000 of that antibiotic in one month, the company that makes it might send him to Cancun for a "conference," but he gets no direct remuneration. With chemotherapeutic drugs, it's different. Chemotherapeutic drugs are the only classification of drugs that the prescribing doctor gets a direct cut of. So if your doctor prescribes chemotherapy for you here's how it goes more or less. The doctor buys it from the pharmaceutical company for $5,000, sells it to the patient for $12,000. Insurance pays $9,000, and the doctor pockets the $4,000 difference. (math doesn't add up). The only reason chemotherapy is used is because doctors make money from it. Period. It doesn't work 97% of the time. If Ford Motor Company made an automobile that exploded 97% of the time, would they still be in business? No. This is the tip of the iceberg of control that the pharmaceutical industry has on us.
Cancer treatment in the United States, we have lost the war on cancer. Why? Cancer is not a reductionistic phenomena. Cancer is a holistic phenomena. And when you try to bring reductionistic methodology on a holistic phenomenon, you will completely miss the boat each and everytime. Medical doctors are like colorblind art critics. They can see that that's a boat. They can see the black and white outline, but they're completely blind to all of the colors and textures that make up the substance of the thing. It's no different with cancer. The reason that people get cancer in the United States and the reason why we have lousy outcomes is because medical doctors are driving the research bus. When women get together for a 5k run for breast cancer, all of that money--do you think any of that money goes to nutritional research? Do you think any of that money goes to homeopathic research, or acupuncture, or traditional Chinese Medicine, or naturopathic research? No! All of it goes to drugs and surgery which DO. NOT. WORK. Now, why aren't those women running for selenium? If every girl in this country took 200mcg of selenium, in one generation we'd eliminate breast cancer by 82%. That's a big number. Why aren't we doing that? Because medicine in the United States is a for-profit industry, and most people are completely unaware of this and most people bow down to the altar of M.D. directed high-tech . . .
