Cancer: Who Can We Trust? The first in a four-part CTM series on the real cancer war The programme went out at peak viewing time on ITV
London Tuesday night at 7:30pm, the premise all too depressingly familiar.
From the TV channel that gave us the moronic 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me
Out of Here,' viewers in the south were told gullible people were being
conned by alternative cancer treatments with convincing stories attached
to them, being relieved of their money and given false hope. And those
apricot kernels? Proof that anything within them can heal cancer? What
rubbish. The experts for the prosecution were all there. Predictably,
the defence specialists had missed their taxi and never got on the programme.
The conclusion of the programme was implicit. People should trust conventional
science and stick with tried and tested treatments such as chemotherapy
and radiation. We understand people's emotional need to look for alternatives,
but please don't be silly. Cancer is a serious business. No kidding. In the newspapers the following day, the great news
that medicine was winning and that cancer survival rates were up blazed
across the pages. Again, no mention was made of the conspicuous failures,
such as Bob Monkhouse, Allan Bates and Dinsdale Landen, all of whom lost
their lives to cancer in one week, in spite of the brightest and best
wandering the corridors of our medical institutions with supposedly unlimited
budgets. Not surprisingly, the cancer charities were being quoted from
pillar to post, the message we've all come to expect: We're winning
the war on cancer, just give us another £170 million. In the years I have studied the cancer industry, a
crusade incidentally which began after witnessing my family's fair share
of unnecessary deaths from cancer, chemotherapy and radiation, I have
been struck with the weapons of mass distraction this most ruthless and
dangerous of industries has relentlessly deployed against the public.
During the course of my research into the real cancer war, I discovered
there were questions you ask, and questions the 'experts' most definitely
wanted to avoid. Around the world, I would speak on TV and radio shows
about the safe, natural and medically proven alternatives to being plastered
with radiation (who doesn't know that radiation causes cancer?) and chemotherapy
(some of which, like Alkeran, are ex-chemical warfare agents), yet these
questions were studiously blustered over and never answered by the experts
wheeled along to counter me. To the cost of thousands of lives around
the world today, they are still not being answered.
These and many more questions will be answered
in the Campaign for Truth in Medicine's three-part special on Cancer:
Who Can We Trust? commencing this EClub bulletin.
