Modern cancer surgery someday will be regarded with the same kind of horror that we now regard the use of leeches in George Washington's time.” - Dr. Robert Mendelsohn “The disease always returns after removal, and operation only accelerates its growth and fatal termination.” - Alfred-Armand-Louis-Marie Velpeau, Surgeon (1795-1867) "I do not d

So far the evidence suggests that at best, radiotherapy doesn’t improve survival of breast cancer patients, and at worst, radiotherapy is killing cancer patients more quickly than they would have died without it. Couple these findings with similar findings about radiotherapy following lung cancer surgery and it seems likely that the latter is true.

RADIOTHERAPY Radiotherapy, also known as radiation therapy, is a treatment in which ionizing x-ray and gamma ray radiation are directed at tumors and used to kill cancer cells. Blasting cancer cells with radiation stops them from growing and multiplying, but it also damages every other cell in its path and sets in motion a cascade of negative physi

“surgery to remove the primary tumor often terminates dormancy resulting in accelerated relapses.”[27]

Today, up to 60% of cancer patients receive radiotherapy as a part of their treatment regimens[1] and yet most are never fully aware of the risks involved with exposure to ionizing radiation.

Interestingly, around this same time Dr. Gerson – an American physician famous for his nutritional approach to cancer, which included fresh fruit and vegetable juices, liver extract injections, thyroid hormone, coffee enemas and other nutrients – presented cases to US congress of cancer patients he had allegedly cured using his nutritional therapy.

In 1901, Röntgen was awarded the Nobel Prize for his discovery and ironically, both he and his wife ended up dying from cancer caused by x-ray exposure.[2]

Overdiagnosis and Overtreatment One of the major failures of mammography is how frequently it results in misdiagnosis of breast cancer.

Cancer Surgery Promotes Metastasis Cancer metastasis is the primary cause of most cancer deaths,[20-22] and yet the public remains almost completely unaware that surgical removal of a tumor has been known to cause cancer metastasis for over 100 years.
