ANOTHER Study Links Chemo to MORE Cancer?!

Dear Reader,
Most people are terrified at the thought of chemotherapy AND with good reason.
Chemotherapy works (in general) by poisoning cells that grow rapidly.
Unfortunately, chemotherapy doesn’t just pinpoint cancer cells, it often takes your other healthy cells along with too (like your hair, your digestive tract…).
But most people are willing to go through this pain and torture because they believe it will put an end to their cancer.
The problem is, new studies are showing chemotherapy doesn’t help. Why? Because it increases something you definitely don’t want in your body.
*****
I’m talking about inflammation.
This is bad news because inflammation lays the seeds for MORE cancer growth.
Let me explain how this works:
A new study, published in the journal Science Translation and Medicine, found that chemotherapy can cause breast cells to multiply.
Why? Our old enemy: inflammation…
The research team found that chemotherapy and radiation can set in motion a series of events that ultimately INCREASE inflammation throughout your body.
Now, the mainstream medical cancer treatment pays close attention to the size of a tumor. And there’s no argument that chemotherapy can reduce tumor size. But the question that never gets asked: is shrinking a tumor helpful?
What happens when you dump a bunch of chemotherapy in a body and it kills tons of cells (cancer and otherwise)? Your body has to take care of all that debris.
The tool your body uses to clean up dead cells is inflammation (and inflammation is a well-known risk factor for more cancer).
But it gets worse…
You’ve probably heard of antibiotic resistance (where the overuse of antibiotics creates superbugs that we don’t have treatments for).
The same thing happens in cancer: you may poison cancer cells and kill most of them. But what is left behind are even tougher cells (super cancer cells).
And when you combine increased inflammation and super cancer cells, you are in for a lot of trouble.
Dr. Hardin B. Jones, a University of California, Berkeley, Medical Physics and Physiology Professor, has researched and found that people who refused chemotherapy for cancer lived 12.5 years on average, while those who get these treatments averaged just three years of life.
There’s no way I can tell you how to treat all the cancers out there, but here are a few ideas:
- Vitamin C: High doses of vitamin C have been shown in many studies to help support cancer treatment.
- Ginseng: Is an herb that also has numerous studies that supports its use for fighting cancer.
- Turmeric: Has been shown to help with breast cancer, bowel cancer, stomach cancer and skin cancer cells.
- Immune-Boosting Mushrooms: These medical mushrooms have thousands of studies that show they are helpful in boosting the immune system, reducing spreading of cancer cells, and increasing killing of cancer cells. I’ve used them many, many times myself.
The above is just a handful of alternative medicine treatments that work to stop cancer.
