How effective is chemotherapy?

[Guest guest]

How effectively can chemotherapy treat cancer? At least one study addresses

this.

Published in the journal *Clinical Oncology* in December 2004, the

results were astounding, showing that chemotherapy has an average 5-year

survival success rate of just over *2 percent* for all cancers!

[Guest guest]

Dear Bob,

Could you please state the exact address for the study you are referring to?

I need it to convince my sister, breast cancer stage IV, to quit

chemotherapy.

Best regards

Anyone with Cancer should research Johanna Budwig diet. It worked

for me (my form of cancer kills 99.9% of men). I highly endorse it.

I'm not a medical skilled person but in more then ten years working

as a webmaster for cancerpatients and ex-cancerpatient myself I know quite

well which is good opr bad for a cancerpatient. In general but maybe

or Leonard can help more in detail for breastcancer it depends of

the status of your kind of breast cancer if chemotherapy could be efective

for you . When you have non hormone specific breastcancer or just slightly

hormone sensitive chemo can work in combination with herceptin if your

HER2-Neu expression is positive. . But if you have breast cancer which is

hormone sensitive etc. then chemo doesn't help and is femara etc. a better

soluttion. And always foir breast cancer helps a vegetarina diet with

certain nutritinal supplements, doing some sport and meditation etc.

And hyperthermy is very well for any kind of cancer.

It is nice ti know that in Breast cancer Vegetarian Diet & some Nutritional

supplements are helpful. Could you tell me what are those nutritional

supplements please?

What is hyperthermy? Is it good for breast cancer?

Chemotherapy in treatment of cancer, only kills your (life-cells) and does

nothing for you, except, will reduce your life-span.

The following are my notes on the (in)effectiveness of chemo.

(IPT and chronomodulated chemo are much more effective. I'll post info

on them in my next email.)

The “malignancies...highly responsive to chemotherapy†are essentially

choriocarcinoma, acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), lymphosarcoma,

[Hodgkin’s, Burkitt’s, & some other lymphomas], embryonal testicular

cancer, Wilms’ tumor, Ewing’s sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma,

retinoblastoma, a few rare cancers of childhood (Moss, 2000, p. 81;

Moss added ovarian and premenapausal breast cancer to this list as of

2002), acute nonlymphocytic leukemia [20% long-term remission],

ovarian [10-20% long-term remission] and SCLC lung cancer [10%

long-term remission].

www.caringmedical.com/cyberclinic/condition_detail.asp?condition_id=1046

“Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia, sarcoma, and

testicular cancer…can be cured in some cases in an almost spectacular

way [by chemo]†www.cancerdecisions.com/011605.html

*Long-term disease-free survival (Cecil's Textbook of Medicine, 1988)

Choriocarcinoma (low-risk patients) 90%

Burkitt's Lymphoma (Stage I) 90%

Acute lymphocytic leukemia 60%

Hodgkin's disease (stage III and IV) 60%

Diffuse histiocytic lymphoma 70%

Nodular mixed lymphoma 75%

Testicular carcinoma (stage II-III) 70-90%

Childhood sarcomas (w/radiation & surgery) 70-90%

Childhood lymphomas 75%

" Chemotherapy is curative in very few cancers - testicular, Hodgkin's,

choriocarcinoma, childhood leukemia. In most common solid tumors -

lung, colon, breast, etc. - chemotherapy is NOT curative. " Dr. Jürgen

Buche, Preventorium Inst.

www./group/Alternative_Breast_Cancer

“Chemotherapy does not eliminate breast, colon, or lung cancers. This

fact has been documented for over a decade†Levin, MD UCSF _The

Healing of Cancer_

www.domaincountry.com/articles/health/treatments.shtml

“Ulrich Abel, Ph.D., of the Heidelberg Tumor Center in Germany,

conducted a comprehensive review of the world literature on survival

among cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. He found that

chemotherapy can help only about 3% of the patients with epithelial

cancers (breast, lung, prostate, and colon) [Abel [1990], Cytostatic

Therapy of Advanced Epithelial Tumors: A Critique. Stuggart, Germany:

Hippocrates Verlag]....Statistics show that chemotherapy is useless in

treating about 80% of malignant tumors, in particular...cancers of the

lungs, breast, colon, pancreas, and bladder [D. Schmahl, (1989)

`Experimental Development of Anticancer Drugs.’ Current Cancer

Research (pp. 157-243). New York: Springer. Chemotherapy’s 7% `cure’

rate is all the more pathetic when you consider that it typically

refers to survival for only five years and thus overlooks the risk of

`secondary cancers’†(Diamond et al., 2000, p. 191).

“epidemiologist Ulrich Abel…put the entire usefulness of chemotherapy

in doubt. For over a year, this scientist reviewed several thousand

publications on chemotherapy. He concluded that `for most internal

cancers no proof exists that chemotherapy, especially the increasingly

high dose variety, increases life expectancy or improves quality of

life.’†www.cancerdecisions.com/011605.html

" October [2004]...article on chemotherapy appeared in Der

Spiegel....shows that for patients in the advanced stages of the major

forms of cancer, chemotherapy has no appreciable effect on

survival....title...is `Useless Poisonous Cures' (Giftkur ohne

Nutzen)...Der Spiegel's website provides no English translation

[German version is at

www.pilhar.com/News/Presse/2004/20041004_Spiegel_Giftkur_Chemo.htm]...I

have therefore summarized the contents....colon, breast, lung and

prostate cancer....epidemiologist has analyzed the actual rate of life

extension...patients do not actually live a day longer....These

statements...do not apply to the chemotherapy of Hodgkin's and

non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia, sarcoma, and testicular cancer.

These diseases can be cured in some cases in an almost spectacular

way....But experienced clinicians agree that the balance tips against

chemotherapy when it comes to treating solid tumors in advanced

stages. Gerhard Schaller, MD, 52, a gynecologist at the University of

Bochum, states: `For the survival of women with advanced breast

cancer, chemotherapy previously brought them practically no

benefit...' Wolfram Jaeger, MD, 49, Director of Gynecology at the

State Clinics of Düsseldorf, has had similar experiences.

`Chemotherapy gave, and gives, no successes. Enormous numbers of women

are treated, without proven benefit'†www.cancerdecisions.com/011605.html

" as a chemist trained to interpret data, it is incomprehensible to me

that physicians can ignore the clear evidence that chemotherapy does

much, much more harm than good. " Alan C. Nixon, PhD, former president

of American Chemical Society

“Whether any of the common cancers can be cured by chemotherapy has

yet to be established†( Cairns, Scientific American, 60, Nov. 1985).

“Survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer limited…

August 04, 2004 NEW YORK (Reuters Health)….stage B and C colon

cancer….MOF chemotherapy (MeCCNU or semustine, plus vincristine, and

5-FU)…no differences in the chemotherapy and surgery-alone group in

10-year disease-free or overall survivalâ€

“Doctor who gave my wife chemo also said they had a 80% survival rate,

but my wife is the only one still alive out of 54 from the

group….After the chemo, she now has IBS, arthritis, fatty liver, and

food allergies….The chemo didn't affect the 3 largest [tumors]….we

believe the only reason she [has] survived was because she… was the

only one who did…ozone when the doctor said her body was starting to

shut down†Gaylen, golfegg@..., 11/27/04,

www./group/ /messages

“75% of the physicians refuses chemotherapy on themselvesâ€

www.curenaturalicancro.com/2-physicians-refuse-chemo.html

" study of oncologists to determine how they would respond to a

diagnosis of cancer...58 out of 64 doctors said that all chemotherapy

programs were unacceptable to them and their family members. The

overriding reason for this decision was that the drugs are ineffective

and have an unacceptable degree of toxicity....radiologist who told me

this: `If I get cancer, I'm going to Mexico.' " Daily Dose, August 30, 2002

Also, most alternative cancer treatments (including dietary

approaches) are much more effective if a patient has NOT had

chemotherapy (and particularly not extensive chemotherapy). However,

this is less true for vincristine and bleomycin and perhaps

gemcitibine, which (to the best of my knowledge) do only minimal harm

to the immune system (Gammill, 2002, 2008), “but they can have other

toxic effects and also lead to multiple drug resistance [MDR]â€

(Gammill, 11/20/05). " Vincristine is not immunsuppressive, but

vinblastine is. Bleomycin doesn't adversely affect immune function.

These chemos may have miserable and destructive side effects, but

myelosuppression is not one of them. Gemcitabine is an

antimetabolite…but it is also an immune therapy against cancer as it

suppresses splenic myeloid cells….Those chemotherapies that are

myelosuppressive in the usual doses are usually safe in IPT doses.

Still they can cause multiple drug resistance [MDR] in these low doses

if precautions aren't taken " Gammill, 3/22/08

www.health./group/cures for cancer/message/37388

Gleevac and hydroxyurea are relatively nontoxic and can be lifesaving

(Gammill, 9/4/05).
