Looks like the experts are grasping for straws from the same old paradigm that hasn’t produced a cure for cancer in 50+ years of research.  Now they’re claiming that some bone drug (bisphosphonates) is reducing breast cancer rates in women who take them.  It is given to women to fight osteoporosis. Experts do not really know how the drug works to reduce cancer, but they have some speculation on the topic.  So even though they claim to be the experts, they do not appear to have any real understanding of cancer, how it works, and how it can be cured or effectively treated.  They also state in another article that this drug should not be used on women who do not have osteoporosis.

I may seem to be a bit reactionary, but the simple fact is that all drugs have side effects.  The drug approach can only be a temporary approach, at best.  The allopathic paradigm is geared towards treating the symptoms of a disease, not the cause.  You can give drugs forever, but the drug is not about resolving the problem that is causing the disease.  In many cases, even if a drug is effective in relieving the symptoms of a disease at first, eventually the body acclimates to the drug and it loses its effectiveness.

I do not see how a drug strategy can be a long-term strategy for successful treatment of disease.  What is more likely is that the first drug will cause side effects.  The physician will then prescribe a drug to treat the side effects of the first drug.  Now, the patient will have the side effects of 2 drugs, and the physician will prescribe another drug for the new side effect, and so on.  This strategy will result in increased profits for the Medical Establishment, but the patient’s health condition will be on a downward spiral.  I guess that this is acceptable if the patient is content with treatment of the disease.  But if the patient wants a cure for the disease, drugs are not the answer for the majority of people.

This appears to be the same old way that the Medical Establishment keeps people’s hopes up and makes it seem as if they are making progress in cancer treatment.  But this is what they’ve been doing for the last 50 years!  There’s always some breakthrough treatment “just around the corner”, where they just need to do some more research to prove.  But just how many of those treatments have been successful?  I don’t remember any.  But there’s always some new pronouncement about the newest technology and promising treatments on the horizon.  This is never going to change as long as the paradigm remains the same.
