Dr. Robert D. Sullivan, Department
of Cancer Research at the Lahey
Clinic Foundation:
There has been an enormous
undertaking of cancer research to
develop anti-cancer drugs for use in
the management of neoplastic
diseases in man. However, progress
has been slow, and no chemical
agents capable of inducing a general
curative effect on disseminated
forms of cancer have yet been
developed.
If it
is true that Orthodox chemotherapy
is (1) toxic, (2) immunosuppressant,
(3) carcinogenic, and (4) futile,
then why would doctors continue to
use it? The answer is that they
don't know what else to do. Patients
usually are not scheduled into
chemotherapy unless their condition
seems so hopeless that the loss of
life appears to be inevitable
anyway. Some doctors refer to this
stage, not as therapy, but
experimentation, which, frankly, is
a more honest description. iption.
Another reason for using drugs in
the treatment of cancer is that the
doctor does not like to tell the
patient there is no hope. In his own
mind he knows there is none, but he
also knows that the patient does not
want to hear that and will seek
another physician who will continue
some kind of treatment, no matter
how useless. So he solves the
problem by continuing the treatment
himself. In his book The Wayward
Cell, Cancer, Dr. Victor Richards
made it clear that chemotherapy is
used primarily just to keep the
patient returning for treatment and
to build his morale while he dies.
But there is more! He said:
Nevertheless, chemotherapy serves an
extremely valuable role in keeping
patients oriented toward proper
medical therapy, and prevents the
feeling of being abandoned by the
physician in patients with late and
hopeless cancers. Judicious
employment and screening of
potentially useful drugs may also
prevent the spread of cancer
quackery. [Emphasis added.]
Heaven forbid that anyone should
forsake the nauseating,
pain-racking, cancer-spreading,
admittedly ineffective "proven
cures" for such "quackery" as
Laetrile! Here, at last, is revealed
the true goal of much of the
so-called "educational" programs of
orthodox medicine-psychologically to
condition people not to try any
other forms of therapy. That is why
they perpetuate the myth of "proven
cures."
The American Cancer Society, in its
Unproven Methods of Cancer
Management, stated:
When one realizes that 1,500,000
Americans are alive today because
they went to their doctors in time,
and that the proven treatments of
radiation and surgery are
responsible for these cures, he is
less likely to take a chance with a
questionable practitioner or an
unproven treatment.1
Before leaving the subject of cancer
therapy and moving on to the field
of cancer research, let us clarify
and summarize our findings so far.
Here is a brief outline of the four
optional modes of cancer therapy:
SURGERY:
Least harmful. Sometimes a
life-saving, stop-gap meas-ure.
No evidence that patients who
receive radical or extensive
surgi-cal options live any
longer than those who receive
the most conservative options,
or, for that matter, those who
receive none at all. Believed to
increase the likelihood of
disseminating cancer to other
locations. When dealing with
internal tumors affecting
reproductive or vital organs,
the statistical rate of
long-term survival is, on the
average, 10-15%. After
metastasis, the statistical
chances for long-term survival
are close to zero. Click here to

RADIOLOGY:
Very harmful in many ways.
Spreads the cancer and weakens
the patient's resistance to
other diseases. Serious and
painful side-effects, including
heart failure. No evidence that
treated patients live any
longer, on the average, than
those not treated. Statistical
rate of long-term survival after
metastasis is close to zero.
CHEMOTHERAPY:
Also spreads the cancer through
weakening of immunological
defense mechanism plus general
toxicity. Leaves patient
susceptible to other diseases
and infections, often leading to
death from these causes.
Extremely serious side-effects.
No evidence that treated
patients live any longer, on the
average, than untreated
patients. Statistical rate of
long-term survival after
metastasis is close to zero.
VITAMIN B17 THERAPY:
Non-toxic. Side effects include
increased ap-petite, weight
gain, lowered blood pressure,
increased hemoglobin and
red-blood cell count. Eliminates
or sharply reduces pain without
narcotics. Builds up body's
resistance to other diseases. Is
a natural substance found in
foods and is compatible with
human biological experience.
Destroys cancer cells while
nourishing non-cancer cells.
