A recent article in a UK online newspaper reports that 1 in 4 cancer cases are missed by GPs delaying vital treatment.
This article can be viewed here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1361269/1-4-cancer-cases-missed-GPs-delaying-vital-treatment.html
The reason given for the delays is that GPs are ‘dismissing early warning signs as minor ailments’ and are therefore prescribing minor treatments such as painkillers or antibiotics.
The article suggests that patients have to make repeated trips to their doctor before being given a ‘correct’ diagnosis.
You would be justified in thinking that this may cast a great shadow over the doctors’ ability to diagnose disease correctly.
Whilst this appalling situation gives rise to a justifiable degree of anger, unfortunately your anger will probably be misdirected.
The reason I say this is that your anger will probably be directed towards insisting that more tests are conducted earlier to enable early detection of ‘cancer’.
The reason that it is misdirected is that this is the completely opposite direction that the situation needs to take to improve the chances for patients to return to health.
If you look hard enough you will find that there is abundant literature by many respected scientists, physicians and researchers who all say that the causes of cancer are known and that the current treatments of a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are not only ineffective but actually dangerous.
Have you ever wondered why an industry that requires ever-increasing expenditure in the billions every year has systematically failed to find the cure for the most dreaded disease? And have you ever wondered why we are suffering an ever-increasing incidence of cancer instead of a reduced incidence?
In the words of Dr Vernon Coleman, “………….the cancer industry is now so huge that it requires vast amounts of money simply to stay alive. Since a good deal of that money comes from the drug industry (which is, not surprisingly, only interested in pharmacological solutions) the cancer industry’s aims, methods and motives are now virtually indistinguishable from the drug industry’s aims, methods and motives.”
I recommend that you read his full article ‘The Real Cause of Cancer and the Solution by Dr Vernon Coleman’; it is a strong indictment of the cancer industry, but nevertheless contains information that is vital for everyone to know.
You can access his full article at http://www.whale.to/cancer/coleman.html and his own website at http://www.vernoncoleman.com
Whilst his views may seem to be radical, they are views you will find echoed by many other doctors on the real cause of cancer and other diseases, and the real route to natural health.
One of those many other doctors is Dr Samuel Epstein, who, as stated on his website, is “an internationally recognized authority on avoidable causes of cancer, particularly unknowing exposures to industrial carcinogens in air, water, the workplace, and consumer products – food, cosmetics and toiletries, and household products including pesticides – besides carcinogenic prescription drugs.”
Dr Epstein’s website is http://www.preventcancer.com where you can read a number of articles he has written including some on the topic of avoidable causes of cancer.
One article is about the worrying increase in childhood cancers and can be accessed from this link http://www.preventcancer.com/press/releases/may09_02.htm
There is another article about Tamoxifen from this link http://www.preventcancer.com/press/releases/sept1_98.htm
Dr Epstein says on his website:
“Winning the war on cancer means preventing cancer. Yet cancer is a multi-billion dollar business. Isn’t preventing cancer bad for business? It is for the pharmaceutical and mammography businesses. These industries have intricate ties to U. S. policy makers, directing research funds to insure their continued profits in cancer diagnosis/treatment. It’s time for reform. Congressional leaders are calling for an investigation of the U. S. National Cancer Institute for its indifference to cancer prevention, other than smoking, and for denying the public of its Right-to-Know, and for failing to inform Congress and regulatory agencies.”
The late Edward Goldsmith was the founder of the Ecologist magazine and a proponent of the importance of maintaining the health of the earth and of caring for the natural world. He has also written articles about the chemical causes of cancer, 2 of which can be viewed from the links here:
