For me, this is one of\r\nthose times. After about 2 years and 1,500 some hours\r\nof research, I know that at least a dozen very\r\neffective cancer treatments have and are being\r\nsuppressed by the pharmaceutical\/medical complex. My\r\nanswer as to Why?\r\nis fairly long and is answered at my re-designed\r\nnon-profit website. My article, \"The\r\nCancer Racket\" was published in \"Clamor\" magazines\r\nFeb\/Mar (re-titled, \"Can You Trust Your Doctor\"?)\r\nissue last year. Feel free to email and circulate it\r\non the Internet, unchanged, non-commercially and with\r\nattribute please.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nPlease see my recent interview with Sue Best.Her son Billy is in 7 year remission\r\nfrom cancer using 714X, Essiac Tea and a strict nutritional diet \r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nOver ten thousand Americans die every week from\r\ncancer, a medical vietnam every 6 weeks. Yet here we\r\nare in the 21st century still being prescribed the\r\nsame three treatments that have failed for over 50\r\nyears; surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment.\r\nSurgery is the most effective of the three but has\r\nlimitations and other disadvantages. Chemotherapy and\r\nradiation are toxic, cause cancer, and wreck the\r\nimmune system. They cause very serious side-effects\r\nand do far more harm than good for the vast majority\r\nof cancer patients. But those are our main options, so\r\nthe oncologists say. <\/p><p>\r\n\r\nPlease read this next story and try to put yourself in\r\nthe shoes of Ric and Paula Schiff. In 1993 their 4\r\nyear old daughter, Crystin, became ill with the\r\nmost deadly form of brain cancer. Crystin underwent\r\nsurgery at the University of California at San\r\nFrancisco Medical Center (UCSF). Crystin's prognosis\r\nwas bleak, she would be dead in a few months.\r\nChemotherapy and radiation treatment may extend her\r\nlife further, but the side-effects were appalling. Ric\r\nand Paula were told there were no other treatment\r\noptions.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nCrystin went through six months of hell. During this\r\ntime Ric and Paula found out about Dr. Burzynski's\r\nnon-toxic antineoplastons that have very few short\r\nterm side effects and are very effective against brain\r\ncancer. The doctors at UCSF told them it was\r\nworthless. Ric and Paula decided to go ahead anyway.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nIncredibly, antineoplastons put Crystin into\r\nremission. Although Crystin died in 1995, it was not\r\nfrom cancer, but from brain damage as a result of\r\nchemotherapy and radiation treatment.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nLater Ric and Paula found out that a doctor at UCSF\r\nhad taken a close interest in a previous patients\r\nsuccess using antineoplastons . From 1989\/1993 Dr.\r\nPrados had sent Burzynski 14  lettters documenting the\r\ncase of Jeff Keller's brain cancer remission using\r\nBurzynski's treatment. Yet this doctor told Ric and\r\nPaula Schiff that antineoplastons were useless. See my\r\nsection \"Three\r\nChildren Denied The Best Treatment\" for more\r\ninformation.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\n<b>Virtually all children in America with brain cancer\r\nmust first be treated\r\nwith   chemotherapy\/radiation treatment. After the\r\npharmaceutical companies have extracted their blood\r\ndollars the child may be allowed access to \r\nantineoplastons. But it is usually too late because\r\nthe chemotherapy\/radiation has destroyed the childs\r\nimmune system. Parents who try refusing orthodox\r\ncancer treatments for their children will probably be\r\nfacing a court order and their child made a ward of\r\nthe State. We must have medical freedom of\r\nchoice.<\/b><\/p><p>\r\n\r\nPlease help spread the word about the most egregious\r\nscandal in the history of medicine. The\r\npharmaceutical\/medical complex ban natural\/cheap\r\ncancer treatments so they can keep peddling their\r\nhighly lucrative chemotherapy and\r\nradiation treatments. Meanwhile, our children,\r\ngrandparents, wives, husbands, family and friends keep\r\ndying. <br>Thank you for your time.<br>Gavin\r\nPhillips<br>\r\n<b>If you have a website, please post a link to my\r\nwebsite<\/b><br>\r\nExposing\r\nthe Cancer Indu$try<br>\r\nhttp:\/\/www.cancerinform.org\/<br>\r\n<\/p>\n","contact":"cancerinfo11@yahoo.com","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/html","summary":"There are times in our lives when we must stand up for\r\ncertain issues, rights or just pass on information\r\nthat we believe is crucial.
