There have been reports and articles that discuss the practice of mammography.  It is alleged that there has been overscreening for breast cancer and conflicts of interests on major boards.  Five radiologists have served as presidents of the American Cancer Society (ACS).  The ACS has a great tendency to promote the interests of the manufacturers of mammogram devices and films, which included Siemens, Piker, General Electric, DuPont and Eastman Kodak.

Dr. Samuel S. Epstein and Rosalie Bertell, Ph.D report that the mammography industry conducts research for the ACS and its grantees, serves on advisory boards, and makes large donations to it.  They do all sorts of promotional things for ACS.  In short, ACS is very strongly linked with the mammography industry, while attacking and ignoring breast self examination, procedures that don’t produce profits for the cancer industry. continue reading…

A new study performed by a sociologist named Donald Light has found strong evidence that the pharmaceutical industry is a “market for lemons” where the sellers are much more informed than the end customers.  They profit from selling products (drugs) that are less effective and more harmful than patients are led to believe.  This startling study is going to be presented at the 105th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association.The study is titled Pharmaceuticals: A Two-Tier Market for Producing ‘Lemons’ and Serious Harm.

The fact is that pharmaceutical companies often conceal and/or downplay the serious side effects of their drugs and exaggerate their benefits. continue reading…

I thought that this was a very interesting question. There are a lot of scientific claims being made, both by orthodox cancer researchers and also by people outside of the mainstream sources of cancer research. Before we start talking about who is right and who is wrong, I thought that it would be a great idea to actually describe and define exactly what science is. It appears that many people throw around the term, but a lot of people who use it don’t really realize what it actually means.

In rigorous scientific settings, science is not a thing, but it is actually an approach to research that is designed to minimize bias from investigators’ observations. continue reading…

This could be considered to be a rhetorical question.  But it also is a very legitimate question as well.  This is because since Nixon declared the War on Cancer in 1972, many billions of dollars have been spent on seeking a cure for cancer.  At least that is what the medical researchers have been telling us.  But there has not been any meaningful progress in finding an effective treatment or cure for cancer.  Despite the incessant pronouncements in the mass media that have been telling us for over 50 years that a cure is ‘just around the corner’, the vast majority of people that are diagnosed with cancer do not survive for long. continue reading…

There are a lot of positives related to alternative cancer treatments.  We know that they tend to be less toxic, can be more effective than conventional cancer treatments, work with the body’s systems, preserve and/or strengthen the immune system, as well as many other benefits.  As positive as the people who support alternative cancer treatment methods, there are still some problems and pitfalls that cancer patients should be aware of in regards to this very important topic.  It is very critical that we maintain an attitude of objectivity, and that we do not fall into the trap of thinking of non-mainstream treatments as being a panacea for cancer treatment.

Some of the problems are: continue reading…

We are always bombarded with all sorts of claims of improved treatments for cancer, along with reports of increased survival rates from cancer.  The standard statistic used to describe the effectiveness of cancer treatment is the 5 year survival rate.  This report will be an analysis of this statistic and other related issues.  In short, the cancer survival statistics appear to be ‘massaged’ in order to make conventional cancer treatments appear to be more effective than they really are.  If the true cure rates were widely known, most people would shun them and demand better strategies.

The first problem is with the 5 year survival rate. continue reading…

Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the United States, and is the third most common cancer related disease.  It is estimated for 2010 that 102,900 new cases of colon cancer, and 39,370 new cases of rectal cancer will be diagnosed.  It is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths.  It is important to recognize the symptoms of this disease, and to understand that the risk of being diagnosed with it increase dramatically after a person reaches 50 years of age.

Cancer is known to be uncontrolled growth of bodily cells.  Metastasis is when the cancer cells originate in one part of the body, and then migrate to other areas of the body and set up other secondary tumors in these locations. continue reading…

Scientists have found that fructose sugar feeds cancer cells, and that fructose is metabolized by cancer cells and tumor cells in different ways.  It is known that fructose intake has been linked to pancreatic cancer.

They found that cancer cells have the ability to metabolize fructose to increase their growth rates.  This is critical information for cancer patients to know.  They need to reduce fructose intake.  We already know that sugar fuels cancer cell growth, but this difference in the way that the different sugars are used in the diseased cells is new information. continue reading…

Dr. McLaughlin summarizes the clinical results of the cancer research performed with the use of Paw Paw substances.

The clinical studies were done on breast cancer, prostate cancer, lymphoma non-Hodgkin’s, stage 4 lung cancer and melanoma. The results were very good, very promising.  It appeared that most cancer patients were using Paw Paw in conjunction with conventional cancer treatments. continue reading…

Dr. McLaughlin discussed the scientific findings of his studies on Paw Paw compounds.  He also summarizes the effects and method of action of the acetogenins.

There are over 100 scientific papers on the chemistry and biological effects of Paw Paw. It was also found that the Zebra Swallowtail butterfly eats the leaves of the Paw Paw plant.  That butterfly is an obligate parasite of the plant. It constitutes a defense mechanism for the butterfly because birds that eat them become nauseous and vomit. continue reading…
