twenty thousand people die of cancer every day this translates to eight million deaths every year half a million of which are on merican at the beginning of the last century one person out of twenty would get cancer in the one nine hundred forty s it was one out of every sixteen people in the one nine hundred seventy s one person out of it and today one person out of three gets cancer in the course of their life over one million americans are diagnosed with a new cancer every year all these people suddenly plunged into a dark tunnel that will dramatically change their life for many years to come faced with an apparently endless chain of medical tests examinations second opinions medications new tests surgical operations support therapies and follow up checks they find themselves at the complete mercy of the disease while in that tunnel each patient feeds an immense medical apparatus that employs hundreds of thousands of people and generates millions and millions of dollars for the medical and pharmaceutical industries from research laboratories to medical schools from prevention clinics to worldwide drug sales today a cancer medical apparatus is so large and expensive that it needs its patients in order to survive just as much as the patients need the apparatus cancer is a big business one of the biggest businesses the typical cancer patient stands at least fifty thousand dollars to treat his or her disease with one million new american cancer patients every year that translates to fifty billion dollars annually spent on cancer treatment in the united states but to modern college cancer still remains a mystery what a century ago were just wooden contraptions able to lift only a few feet off the ground today have become sophisticated jets capable of reaching incredible heights at three times the what a century ago was the creaking sound of the telegraph over some rustling wires today has become a global network of fiber optics where millions of people exchange information in all possible directions what a century ago was still a relatively unknown planet today has been lit by day and night and it has been explored to the extent that we can visit it in every launch a two and latitude from the comfort of our home the only thing that has not changed in the last hundred years is the apparent incapacity of medical science to understand and conquer a disease like cancer why the official theory maintains that cancer is a problem that originates in the human cell cancer is a group of over one hundred diseases characterized by abnormal uncontrolled cancer is a sometimes fatal disease caused by the it normal growth and division  while normal cells have well defined walls and nuclei young controlled growth in cancer cells causes the creation of normal unstructured masses of tissue known as neo pleasant or tumors cancer related  are no longer moving they can begin the process of forming a new tumor by leaving the blood vessel and beginning to reproduce in the new location if the new environment is suitable the newly arrived cell will begin to grow years the search for the cause of cancer within the human cell has been pushed beyond the limits of anyone's imagination today the most advanced laboratories are working correctly on the human genome in order to identify the genes that seem to be responsible according to some scientists for the different kinds of cancer this opens the door to a dream like scenario for the pharmaceutical industry a world where each patient its own personal cure tailored to its own personal needs one million new patients every year one million new cures for each and every one of them we want to do is we want to match the question whether we're going to break to korea is not a question about if it's a question about whether in the meantime however no one has been able to prove that the official theory is the correct one and that the origin of cancer is in fact a genetic nature major advances are being made in the detection prevention and treatment of cancer but the mechanisms that trigger malignant cell growth are still not completely understood in the meantime statistics seem only to get worse have lost the war on cancer since the one nine hundred fifty s the outlook for most cancer patients has remained the same a one in three chance of living for five years after diagnosis using conventional therapy surgery radiation chemotherapy drugs the fact is that today two out of three american cancer patients will be dead before five years despite such dismal results official oncology continues to impose on patients the only three therapies that have ever been authorized in the last hundred years surgery chemotherapy and radiotherapy and two of the three are actually carcinogenic surgery is the oldest technique and the most successful of the three the surgery is useful only when the cancer is localized a minority of cases patients also fear radiation is dangerous side effects one of these is that radiation can actually cause cancer parts of a lot of writing or didn't weren't there anymore because of the radiation that they had killed that part of the brain so the part of the brain that was responsible for our memory was gone came a therapy is designed to kill cancer cells throughout the body it is highly toxic however and it also feels healthy cells today chemotherapy is often given in combination with surgery and radiation your typical chemotherapy their disposal calls for total destruction and incineration of anything that comes in contact with some of these drugs remain partially toxic even after incineration beyond eighteen hundred degrees fahrenheit but there is something new about chemotherapy that's been emerging of late many women want to go chemotherapy for breast cancer describe unsettling changes to their memory and concentration researchers at the university of michigan comprehensive cancer center say this phenomenon is very real women have complained of cognitive changes that have occurred during the time that they've been treated for breast cancer for a long time now and the term chemo brain has been coined and this is used to describe loss of concentration difficulty remembering things having difficulty thinking clearly and not being able to function effectively in normal activities that the person was able to do perfectly well before they had treatment simple little things i would have to have to wait to think of something and it would be frustrating xs red green researchers say the chemotherapy creates memory problems that can last for years sheldrick are five percent one out of twenty of the cancer patients there given to if conventional therapy has such limited results why isn't the medical profession willing to investigate alternative approaches the answer to this question may be found in some historic events that took place almost a century ago when official medicine finally managed to gain the upper hand of the so called empirical doctors who cured patients with herbs and natural remedies in the eight hundred society approaches to healing patients had a choice as using either doctors called allopathy or natural healers called empiric summer homeopaths the two groups waged a bitter philosophical debate the allopath doctors call their approach heroic medicine they believed the physician must aggressively drive disease from the body they based their practice on what they considered scientific theory the  techniques they bled the body to drain out the bad humors they gave huge doses of toxic minerals like mercury and lead to displace the original disease they also used surgery but it was a brutal cure competing with the doctors where the empiric healers contrary to the doctor's they believed in stimulating the body's own defenses to heal itself instead of poisonous minerals they used vegetable products and non toxic substances in small quantities they especially favored herbs learn from native american and those european traditions the empiric said they based their remedies not on fairy but on observation and experience satirist of the day added that within period treatment the patient died of the disease not to cure and the balance of medical power remained equal until the turn of the century then new medical treatments emerged that were potentially very profitable you may join with strong financial forces to transform medicine into an industry the fortunes of carnegie morgan and rockefeller financed surgery radiation synthetic drugs they were to become the economic foundations of the new medical economy the takeover of the medical industry was accomplished by a takeover of the medical schools well the people who were talking about rockefeller and carnegie in particular came to the picture and said we will put up money they offer tremendous amounts of money to the schools that would agree to cooperate with them but donors said to the schools we were giving you all this money now would it be too much to ask if we could put some of our people on your board of directors to see that our money is being spent wisely almost overnight all of the major universities received large grants from these sources and also accepted one two or three of these people that i mentioned on their board of directors and the schools literally were taken over by the financial interests that put up the money now what happened as a result of that is that the schools did receive an infusion of money they were able to build new buildings they were able to add expensive equipment to their laboratories they were able to hire top notch teachers but at the same time as doing that they skewed the whole thing in the direction of pharmaceutical drugs that was the efficiency in philanthropy but doctors from that point forward in history would be taught pharmaceutical drugs all of the great teaching institutions in america were captured by the pharmaceutical interests in this fashion and it's amazing how little money it really took to do it surgery became viable with anesthesia and infection control and doctors advocated expensive radical operations these in turn produced the need for a large lucrative hospital system radium fever swept medicines the price of radium rose one thousand percent almost overnight another costly technological industry entered the hospital system a drug industry grew out of the booming patent medicine business the doctors changed educational standards and licensing regulations to exclude the imperius soon only a in the approved doctors could legally practice medicine in a brief twenty years the a m a came to dominate medical practice organized medicine launched a media campaign to associate the groups with quacks the code word for competition was so now the average doctor goes through school he gets a great education he has to be really smart to get through it he learns all about drugs he doesn't know too much about basic nutrition i found that the average wife of these physicians knows more about nutrition than he does but they sure know there are drugs and if you go to your typical doctor today i don't care what it is chances are you going to walk out of there with a prescription why because that's what he has been trained to do the companies that make up the pharmaceutical industry are among the largest corporations in the world together these businesses have come to be known as big pharma in two thousand and four their combined global sales were over half a trillion dollars with pfizer and johnson and johnson leading the pack in the us the core of big pharma is immense profits from sales of prescription medication and since these drugs can only be prescribed by medical professionals most of the industry's promotional and marketing activities are directed at doctors pharmacists and other health care providers this starts out at the first medical school and in many medical schools even the incoming their medical education the interactions escalated to free lunches dinners champagne brunches happy hours new york jet tickets no matter where you spend the money you make money organizations the problem is that that virtual complete control over the research to the drug companies they could design the studies they have control data so that many of the authors of the most important articles  published our best journalists aren't even allowed to see their own data they don't get free access to the data and they have control of the publication to sum it all up the pharmaceutical industry first gained control of the teaching system that it gave the a power to exclude all other doctors from practicing then it took over the entire drug testing process while heavily influencing the medical publications that reviewed those drugs and finally big pharma extended it control over the federal entity that is supposed to verify those drugs safety and efficacy at the opposite end are the six citizens and in the middle are the doctors who must cure them based on information they can only get from the pharmaceutical industry which can no longer be verified chemotherapy drugs are in fact among the most expensive of all a one month supply of low to need a chemotherapy drug produced by roche cost two thousand three hundred dollars the same supply of seraphine faiers chemotherapy drug costs five thousand five hundred dollars the monthly supply of sunita need a chemotherapy drug produced by pfizer cost almost seven us making us believe that we can do little on our own to prevent or treat disease and force his whole nations to kneel at the waters of the drug industry and of course the fear mongers are also preying on fear of disease cannot be patented they're not interested in that so we translate that into the real world of f d a approval surely these drug companies are going to spend twenty million dollars or more testing any substance from nature because it can't be patented that and of course the f d a says it's illegal to use unless it's been tested for efficacy and safety now you see the the catch twenty two you're in there nothing from nature regardless of how effective it might be will ever be proven safe or effective according to the you have to say it will never be because nobody's going to spend the money to go through the test so therefore everything from nature will always be condemned by the f d a as unproven an unproven cancer killer in a small town in northern ontario while nursing an old patient when they noticed that she had a scar on her breast the patient said it was left over from a cancer she had cared for over thirty years before using a mixture of herbs suggested by the medicine man from the local  if i would try some of these very bits and he said he would and it took go quiet quite a while but she got better and humid for twenty one years after that successful experience where they quit the hospital and began killing people with a mixture of herbs that would become known as a sack which is her last name spelled backwards soon the voice spread but the number of patients healed from cancer started to multiply about nineteen forty three i was diagnosed in terms of general hospital not having a growth in the brow which was inoperable and that was in january and i might have from just told that when the snow was gone i would probably be done with it so through friends i was directed to this case and i came to her and had treatments from war for practically three years and found i was cured him so dr procedure went before the town council and the mayor and persuaded them to give me a building that had they had taken for  as a clinic that i had made a great discovery and should be supported in my own home town so they set up the clinic where i treated for and i they only way they would allow me to do this was free of charge and i had to have a doctor's diagnosis for every it was one doctor leonardo from buffalo who had immediately recognized the potential of renee's cancer cure to warn her of what was waiting had he was cancer surgeon and he said you think you she flatly refused as they would not guarantee that her cure would be made available for free to anyone who ever needed commission to investigate herbal remedies the greatest majority of reims evidence was rejected you see they stand their doctors mistaken take notice but that's why the a sad thing when somebody comes in there and they have somebody that is ill with cancer and the medical profession can do nothing for them and they've begun maybe to treat them it's a very very sad thing to turn them away and i had a nervous breakdown over there so i really had t  they are still alive after the medical profession has given them enough yet they refuse to admit it isn't here after she recovered from the more than once for the most preposterous reasons but the famous ac act had already crossed the border as one day renee received an invitation to scientifically test her herbal remedy from a clinic in massachusetts about twenty years ago nineteen fifty eight here in this laboratory its director was dr charles brush who was also president kennedy's personal physician and a close friend undertook to study the effects of  in order to be approved by the f d a as a possible cancer cure but once the herbs arrived at sloan kettering one of the most important cancer research centers in the country the process somehow got bogged down by inexplicable delays and eventually primary inhibition of the tumour which did not occur but also for regression and and there was a very small percentage in a small group of regressions but we never had the opportunity to confirm this and to see whether we could obtain better results nevertheless it was not approved by the f d a exactly as predicted by dr leonardo thirty years before further attempts to legalize the cure were made by different groups of patients the cancer out of the body radiation you can poison it out of the body without poisoning the body as well and i feel that nature of the only answer for cancer patients that we should have it our constitutional rights at the moment are being denied to us and it shouldn't even come down to a court hearing that should be a matter of fact that we have what we want i have cancer from head to toe to the bone and you try and tell me that if i think there's something that is going to give me a little bit of life that i'm not going t i can give you a very long list you'll have a very wide choice then when there is something effective how would you know which to choose from in fact someone thought better to prevent a siac from being used in the future by doctors who may eventually respond to a higher calling of their conscience treating patients on a personal basis until the day she died in one thousand seventy eight one year before that many of her cured patients convened under ninetieth birthday to thank her for what she had done for x patients and supporters arrived in bracebridge ontario renee story is one of harry hoxsey a texas business bad his father and passed on to him herbal formula that would reveal highly effective against cancer alike rene however oxy was very wealthy it was a natural born fighter who fear one this set the premise for one of the most prolonged and there were look fights between an american citizen and the medical authorities of the history of the united states the trouble began with what seemed like good news and w after the ex coal miner with an eighth grade education became a legend in his own time according to the hoxsey legend the remedies were discovered by his great grandfather experiment goes john hoxsey was a veterinarian whose price stallion got cancer he put it out to pasture to die but three weeks later the tumor had stabilised he observes a horse eating unusual plants not part of its normal diet within a year the horse was well so john hawkes he began to experiment on animals with the herbs and he added other popular home remedies he claimed success and passed the formulas down through the family who eventually used  cox he said his father was the first to try the medicines on people he gave young harry the formulas for the deathbed wish to make the treatment available to people whether or not they feel pain prophetically he warned the boy against the high priest of medicine who would fight him jealously it didn't take long hoxsey started his first clinic in illinois in one thousand and twenty four and he immediately incurred the wrath of organized medicine he was arrested more times than any other man medical history yet by the one nine hundred fifty s the hoxsey clinic of dallas texas was the largest privately owned cancer center in the world oxy clinics reached to seventeen states endorsing the treatment for senators judges and even some doctors to federal courts upheld its therapeutic value if the treatment was worthless how did he gain so much support to claim a cure for cancer is to invite  you ation while the medical profession turned its back on hoxsey numerous individuals did make personal investigations these experiences heatedly turned skeptics into believers among them with esquire do a couple of patients on him and put an end to this it was an assignment i came to texas i expected to stay about a day get my information and then leave i became fascinated i stayed for six weeks every day harry would pick me up and bring me to the clinic we come in in the morning and he would put his arm around these old men and women say district attorney al templeton was more than a skeptic he arrested hoxsey more than one hundred times in two years then his own brother mike got terminal cancer and secretly went to hoxsey when mike temples and got well al templeton gave hoxsey the credit oxys prosecutor became his lawyer more and more people kept supporting hocks these claims of a cure is boldest promoter was christian evangelist gerald when wright his radio broadcast reached reason the medical profession wouldn't investigate hocks he said the a m a doctors invited him to demonstrate the treatment among them was dr morris fishbein editor of the influential a m a journal according to turned down the offer because he could not get the guarantee that the formula would have been made available for free to anyone who ever needed it but one thing was certain hoxsey had made a very powerful  crossing swords with dr fishbein he alienated the most influential figure in medicine dr fishbein held a unique position as journal editor he controlled the main income producing organ of the a m a and thus the organization he also published the accepted standards of medical practice a after the chicago incident dr fishbein blackballed hoxsey by branding him a quack in the journal it commented that hockey's most supporter was the local undertaker the a m a attack was relentless dr fishbein and hoxsey would battle each other for twenty five years to come in a drama of national dimensions but rather than settling the dispute through scientific means they played it out national cancer institute for an investigation the agency refused the n c i said his medical records were incomplete oxy said doctors refused to supply necessary records because of dr fish fin influence the government concluded it would be a waste of public funds to investigate having struck oil in texas oxy offered to pay for a test himself his challenges were putting dr fishbein under public supposedly the brutal paste actually did cure external cancers were the most dangerous external cancer is melanoma it can spread rapidly through the body were doctors advise extremely radical surgery them and that's a false statement but we have the facts to back it up oxley went as far as producing his own movie to make his voice heard from the medical profession it would be an innovation to men of the medical profession you know instead of toting so much time and money to court trials sniping tactics and smear campaigns it would come to the clinic do some investigating check into our methods speak to some of our patients and they would understand why i paid money has been as effective and in most cases are more successful than anything they've had to offer as a solution to the cancer problem but instead of accepting the invitation the medical establishment escalated the war mildred nelson has directed hawks clinics from the beginning but he was never investigated except in a criminal type of way to see what he might be doing wrong the food has always been famous for her arrest in the hockey patients go to people's houses take their medicine the care of cancer patients are hereby advised and warned that so called toxic treatment for internal cancer has been found on the basis of evidence presented by the f d a to be worth a straight interstate commerce at one time we had seventeen clinics open across the country for drug walk them the same day to every one of them and padlock them and no way to carry have the money to pipe that record state my state after losing all his clinics harry hoxsey eventually gave up his twenty five year long fight against the medical establishment he built a new clinic in mexico passed away but the hoxsey treatment has never been made available to american patients and it cannot even be shipped legally into the country those who wish to use the hoxsey treatment must travel each time to mexico and are allowed  diets the health food principles and the nutritional concepts that we share today have a single father severe and repeated migraine headaches leaving him essentially unable to function for days after two years of experiment and doctors was able to eliminate his migraines by eating only certain raw fruits and vegetables therapy aims to achieve a complete detoxification of the body through a series of intestinal washes based on organic coffee and a strict diet of raw vegetables and fruits grown in an optimal terrain meat is originally proposed by dr john beard one century ago the same theory had been developed and publicized by the father dr ernst krebs according to krebs vitamin b seventeen which is found in the seeds of apricot and other similar fruits is an effective cure against many kinds of cancers and especially breast lung colon and prostate cancers leiderman b seventeen also known as les a trial has been one of the most popular remedies against cancer since the one nine hundred fifty s and in the last decade has collected the support of many scientists and on college just from all over the world in italy dr quintet a from the turin university undertook a scientific study that showed very promising results dr dean burke head of the side o chemistry section of the national cancer institute has reported that in a series of tests on animal tissue the b seventeen had no effect on normal cells but released so much cyanide in ben's aldehyde when it came in contact with cancer cells that not one of them could survive he said when we add lay a trail to a cancer culture under the microscope we can see the cancer cells dying off like flies also sloan kettering the new york based cancer research institute seems to have known about the therapeutic qualities of lay a trail for a long time this was confirmed by one of the foremost cancer researchers of the time dr kind of in a magazine interview published in one thousand nine hundred seventy seven as the news began to spread to sloan kettering pressured security to refute his statements but he refused to do so forcing sloan kettering to officially deny the anti cancer qualities sloan kettering was later accused of falsifying the research on which they base their negative statement on lay a trial this was not the only case in the major war waged by the medical industry in the one nine hundred seventy s against dr john richardson m d who is now deceased had a cancer clinic a very thriving cancer clinic up in the san francisco area in the seventy's when he met the doctor ernst he krebs jr had many conferences with him became familiar with the the theory the science behind it and began to cautiously use it in his practice he was losing most of his patients that he was treating with cancer he went from that to a high success rate almost overnight by using this substance and so he became very enthusiastic about it the word got around his patients were very happy of course and they told their friends and wasn't very long before people were coming from all over the united states and in some cases even from europe to be treated at the richardson clinic then he got into trouble with the medical authorities the hospital administration contacted him and said you have to stop using this material because it is not approved by the f and he said yeah i know it's not approved but it works they said we don't care whether it works or not it is not an approved substance and you're in violation of the law medical authorities have never recognized the therapeutic use of lay a trail while the f d a has listed it among the toxic substances making it in fact illegal to be sold in the united states hundred ninety two dr william lane published a book called sharks don't get cancer in which he maintain that shark cartilage has the capacity of inhibiting the growth of tumors in order to grow beyond a certain size every tumor needs to build its own capillary system the creation of new blood vessels is called angiogenesis shark cartilage has a specific anti angiogenesis characteristic and that  growing tumor and literally suffocates it by not allowing the new capillary system to grow the anti angio gena characteristic of shark cartilage is well known to official medicine and it's confirmed by a number of different scientific studies but shark cartilage for some reason is not suggested as a cure for cancer while the pharmaceutical companies are competing in secret to produce a similar compound in the lab or to extract from the cartilage a specific compound that can be patented and exploited commercially what they are interested in finding something perhaps within something in nature if they can find some subcomponent that they can extract and then make it a manmade chemical that works the same way then they can patent that then they're interested but not if it comes from nature another well known remedy against cancer particularly popular in europe is mistletoe a semi parasitic plant found oaks and other similar trees this plant has been considered sacred since the times of the who worshipped it and used it as a universal ailment in a cancer patient mistletoe causes an immediate increase in the macrophages which is normally followed by a regression of the disease we do know that it has immune stimula properties that if you measure like say the kinds they can see them actually going up with using mistletoe there's there's components of mistletoe that are actually sort of toxic meeting that actually kill cancer cells or you can put them to sleep in steiner is used as part of a larger program against cancer that includes all the emotional psychological and spiritual aspects of the individual in the united states mistletoe is almost unknown but the task of denying its curative qualities has been taken up in this case by the british side of terry system which resorted to the well known excuse of absence of evidence the p c t has reviewed the evidence relating to  cancer and we have found and i'm one of the people is looked at the evidence we found that there's no convincing supposing evidence recently american author and actress suzanne somers announced that she defeated cancer using mistletoe you mentioned cancer back in two thousand and one on this program and announced that you had been battling cancer most people would just go to the doctor and get chemo you want a different route how are you now well i'm i just had my killer
