Who is Dr. Glenn A. Warner?
After graduation from Central Washington College of Education, he did a two-year
stint as medical corpsman with the United States Marines and then got his
medical degree from George Washington University in the District of Columbia. He
did a surgical residency at Cook County Hospital in Chicago, followed by a
pathology residency at the Tumor Institute of the Swedish Hospital. Feeling the
urge to be with actual patients, he gravitated from pathology slides to the
patients themselves and eventually headed the immunotherapy department of the
Tumor Institute under Orliss Wildermuth, MD.

Many
medical oncologists recommend chemotherapy for virtually any tumor, with a
hopefulness undiscouraged by almost invariable failure.

Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy does not
eliminate breast, colon, or lung cancers. This fact has been documented for over
a decade, yet doctors still use chemotherapy for these tumors.

CHEMOTHERAPY: AN
UNPROVEN PROCEDURE
How can that be true of the
main cancer treatment in the U.S.? Fact is, no solid scientific studies or
clinical trials prove chemotherapy's effectiveness, except in a small percentage
of very rare types of cancer. For solid tumors of adults, the vast majority of
cancer, or anything that has metastasized, chemotherapy just doesn't work.
A
German epidemiologist from the Heidelberg/Mannheim Tumor Clinic, Dr. Ulrich Abel
has done a comprehensive review and analysis of every major study and clinical
trial of chemotherapy ever done. His conclusions should be read by anyone who is
about to embark on the Chemo Express. To make sure he had reviewed everything
ever published on chemotherapy, Abel sent letters to over 350 medical centers
around the world asking them to send him anything they had published on the
subject. Abel researched thousands of articles: it is unlikely that anyone in
the world knows more about chemotherapy than he.
The analysis took him several years, but the results are astounding: Abel found that the overall worldwide success rate of chemotherapy was "appalling" because there was simply no scientific evidence available anywhere that chemotherapy can "extend in any appreciable way the lives of patients suffering from the most common organic cancers." Abel emphasizes that chemotherapy rarely can improve the quality of life. He describes chemotherapy as "a scientific wasteland" and states that at least 80 percent of chemotherapy administered throughout the world is worthless, and is akin to the "emperor's new clothes" - neither doctor nor patient is willing to give up on chemotherapy even though there is no scientific evidence that it works! - Lancet 10 Aug 91

If your friend
touches chemotherapy, he's a goner.
Chemotherapy expert Ernst Wynder, former professor at Sloan-Kettering Hospital
and recipient of a medal from the American Cancer Association, in a warning
to a friend. |
Why so much use of chemotherapy if it does so little good? Well for one
thing, drug companies provide huge economic incentives. In 1990, $3.53
billion was spent on chemotherapy. By 1994 that figure had more than doubled
to $7.51 billion (in 2006: $15 billion.) This relentless increase in chemotherapy use was accompanied by a relentless increase in cancer deaths.

"I believe that we will look back at today's medicine, especially today's
oncology, as part of an ignorant and barbaric time, when patients were
administered highly toxic doses of expensive drugs, while a gentle technique
... was being widely ignored."

"What you are about to read will shock you. It is a
story of oncologists lying to parents about the efficacy of their therapy and
using coercive tactics such as threats of court orders to take children and
submit them to treatments that they know are torturous and ineffective.......We were told, not asked, but told that we had 30 days
from Alexander’s surgeries to start chemo. We were told that chemo would offer
Alexander a good chance of survival. We were told that he would be getting a
new chemo protocol with "state-of-the-art" drugs. And we were warned that
if we did not bring Alexander in for chemotherapy a court order would be
forthcoming so that the oncologists could take him from us and administer these
poisons without our approval. We were lied to and threatened so that oncologists
could fill our son with deadly ineffective poisons that simply shortened his
life and made his last days on earth a living hell.
The oncologists did what they were trained to without challenging the
death that surrounds their treatments. The FDA took away Alexander’s freedom to
use a non-toxic and potentially life-saving therapy. The drug companies received
their chemotherapy profits. Alexander lost his life. And we have to live with
the knowledge that we never gave our son a fighting chance to survive his
disease."

"Two to 4% of cancers respond to chemotherapy…." Ralph Moss,
Ph.D. 1995 Author of Questioning Chemotherapy.
"A study of over 10,000 patients shows clearly that chemo’s supposedly strong
track record with Hodgkin’s disease (lymphoma) is actually a lie. Patients who
underwent chemo were 14 times more likely to develop leukemia and 6 times more
likely to develop cancers of the bones, joints, and soft tissues than those
patients who did not undergo chemotherapy (NCI Journal 87:10)."—John Diamond, M.D.
Children who are successfully treated for Hodgkin's disease are 18 times more
likely later to develop secondary malignant tumours. Girls face a 35 per cent
chance of developing breast cancer by the time they are 40----which is 75 times
greater than the average. The risk of leukemia increased markedly four years
after the ending of successful treatment, and reached a plateau after 14 years,
but the risk of developing solid tumours remained high and approached 30 per
cent at 30 years (New Eng J Med, March 21, 1996)

The New England Journal of Medicine Reports— War on Cancer Is a Failure:
Despite $30 billion spent on research and treatments since 1970, cancer
remains "undefeated," with a death rate not lower but 6% higher

"The five year cancer survival statistics of the American Cancer Society
are very misleading. They now count things that are not cancer, and, because
we are able to diagnose at an earlier stage of the disease, patients falsely
appear to live longer. Our whole cancer research in the past 20 years has
been a failure. More people over 30 are dying from cancer than ever before…More
women with mild or benign diseases are being included in statistics and
reported as being "cured". When government officials point to
survival figures and say they are winning the war against cancer they are
using those survival rates improperly."---Dr J. Bailer, New England
Journal of Medicine (Dr Bailer’s answer to questions put by Neal Barnard
MD of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine and published in
PCRM Update, sept/oct 1990.)

I wouldn't have chemotherapy and radiation because I'm not interested in
therapies that cripple the immune system, and, in my opinion, virtually
ensure failure for the majority of cancer patients."---Dr Julian Whitaker,

I have a doctor who called me last year. He listens to the show and personally
he lives a healthy life. And he was angry. And he didn't know what to do.
He wanted to know whether or not he could expose the situation without
getting himself involved. He said, "I'm giving cancer patients over
here at this major cancer clinic drugs that are killing them, and I can't
stop it because they say the protocol's what's important." And I say,
"But the patient's not doing well." They say, "The protocol's
what's important, not the patient." And he said, "You can't believe
what goes on in the name of medicine and science in this country."

In 2002, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that in the
previous year, the average oncologist had made $253,000 of which 75% was profit
on chemotherapy drugs administered in his/her office. Yet, surveys of
oncologists by the Los Angeles Times and the McGill Cancer Center in Montreal
show that from 75% to 91% of ongologists would refuse chemotherapy as a
treatment for themselves or their families. Why? Too toxic and not effective.
Yet, 75% of cancer patients are urged to take chemo by their oncologists.
Don't be fooled by terms like "response rate" or "5-year
survival." For metastatic cancer the success rate of chemotherapy
(defined as long-term remission) is 3%.

magazine:
In the world of modern medicine there are
few more imprecise and drastic measures than chemotherapy as a treatment for
cancer. In most cases the process involves poisoning a patient's system with
toxic chemicals in an effort to kill malignant cancer cells. Anyone who has
personally suffered through chemo or seen a loved one suffer can attest to its
destructive and debilitating side effects.
What do the Europeans say about chemotherapy?
Excerpts from
German Magazine
Der Spiegel Blasts Chemotherapy
by Ralph Moss,
PhD
While I was in Germany
last October an article on chemotherapy appeared in Der Spiegel, which is
Germany's - in fact Europe's - highest-circulating news magazine. On average,
over one million copies are sold every week, making it the German equivalent of
Time or Newsweek [with the major distinction that Der Spiegel has always been a
left-leaning magazine]. The article, highly critical of chemotherapy, created
quite a stir.
(It) shows that for patients in the advanced stages of the major forms
of cancer, chemotherapy has no appreciable effect on survival. The title
of the article is "Useless Poisonous Cures" (Giftkur ohne Nutzen).
The article reads as follows:
Increasingly
sophisticated and expensive cellular poisons are being given to seriously ill
patients with colon, breast, lung and prostate cancer. Now an epidemiologist has
analyzed the actual rate of life extension in such patients. His findings are
that despite all the alleged progress, patients do not actually live a day
longer.
