Quotes about Cancer Clinics from the world's top natural health / natural living authors
"Nevertheless, by the 1980s most mainstream cancer clinics did recognize the importance of offering patients opportunities for social support and counseling. These, it was acknowledged, were valuable ways of helping patients deal more effectively with the initial trauma of a cancer diagnosis, with the chronic anxiety, depression, and pain that typically persisted as treatment began, and with the possibility of a foreshortened future." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)
| "Despite the lack of hard evidence, however, a national poll (which is never lost on Congress) found that the majority of the American public favored allowing unorthodox cancer clinics to operate freely in the United States.18
Although mainstream medicine's war on cancer had little to show for itself, cancer treatment had become a huge industry." - Kenny Ausubel, When Healing Becomes A Crime: The Amazing Story of the Hoxsey cancer clinics and the Return of Alternative Therapies (Get the book.)
"An example of the result of such vertical integration is the fact that the AstraZeneca corporation actually owns a chain of eleven hospitals and cancer clinics that dispense the company's own chemotherapy drugs.13
Despite chemotherapy's lack of proof of efficacy in at least 90 percent of cases, these drugs are administered to 80 percent of U.S. cancer patients. Moss points out that chemotherapy sales are increasing at double-digit rates with astronomical price tags.16 He documented the not uncommon case of one patient who was charged $750,000 solely for chemotherapy drugs."

"Subsequent chapters paint the colorful tableau of the rise and fall of the Hoxsey cancer clinics until shortly after the government drove the treatment from the United States in the 1960s.
Part 2 delves into the fascinating and long-standing conflict of medical opinion around the Hoxsey medicines. It probes both the science and folklore behind Hoxsey's herbal tonic and external salves, and reveals surprising evidence of both their possible worth and proven efficacy."

"The astonishing saga of the rise and fall and rebirth of the Hoxsey cancer clinics provides a classic case history of the corrosive medical politics that have long prevented the fair investigation of promising alternative cancer therapies, the kinds of practices whose ultimate acceptance now seems inevitable."
- Kenny Ausubel, When Healing Becomes A Crime: The Amazing Story of the Hoxsey cancer clinics and the Return of Alternative Therapies (Get the book.)
| "The notion of cancer clinics or centers was considered socialistic and an affront to the private practice of medicine.
As Breslow notes, the response to Cameron's plea was hardly encouraging: "Reflective of its bias toward traditional fee-for-service medicine, the Society adopted standards that 'tissue diagnosis, cytologic and histologic, is a professional medical' function . . . and that adequate tissue diagnosis should be provided 'in cooperation with pathologists.' The society shunned active support of public or quasi-public mass screening initiatives." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)
| "After buying up cancer clinics around the country, Zeneca merged with the Swedish pharmaceutical company Astra in 1999 to form AstraZeneca, the world's third largest drug company.
"This is a conflict of interest unparalleled in the history of American medicine," said Dr. Samuel Epstein, a professor of occupational and environmental medicine at the University of Illinois School of Public Health. " - Stacy Malkan, Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry (Get the book.)
| "Family and friends were now chiming in, offering natural remedies, even suggesting cancer clinics in Mexico. She would have nothing to do with this advice. Her insurance covered most of the costs of care the doctor ordered and she simply didn't have money for all the other therapies suggested to her. Her doctors told her herbal and vitamin therapies were not safe and often conflicted with treatment. So she stayed away from them.
The loss of the breast was disfiguring, but she endured." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)
| "Here is a note from The British Journal of Cancer for April 2001:
There are too few doctors seeing too many patients in UK cancer clinics with the added pressures of throughput and cost containment burdening them further. Furthermore surveys in the UK and US have shown that psychiatric
morbidity and emotional burnout are almost as common in oncologists as in the patients they treat.
(Vol.84, pp. 1011-14)
This is terrifying. As the authors of the note comment, "the magnitude of the problem identified by this study can not be overestimated." - Michael Gearin-Tosh, Living Proof: A Medical Mutiny (Get the book.)
| "The question is, why don't most women attending breast cancer clinics ever hear, or have emphasized, the importance of sugar reduction in their diet?
One wonders if women, after diagnosis of breast cancer, don't alter their diet, reduce refined sugar intake, and experience prolonged remission from disease, which is mistakenly attributed to their treatment (surgery, radiation, Tamoxifen)?
In Italy, the diets of more than 2,500 women were analyzed and it was found that sugary foods were associated with a small increased risk for breast cancer." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)
"That's what is going on daily in breast cancer clinics across the globe.
NUTRIENTS
AND BREAST CANCER
Breast cancer and diet
Many women with breast cancer, or at risk for breast cancer, or recurrence of breast cancer, receive little if any counseling regarding their diet.
A survey of breast cancer patients in Finland found that about 9% of women believed diet contributes to the onset of breast cancer and 32% changed their dietary habits after diagnosis of breast cancer."

| "Mammography is a major-league moneymaker for hospitals, doctors and cancer clinics nationwide. The unsuspecting women believe that the screening reduces their risk of death from breast cancer by 50-75 percent! In truth, according to research conducted by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, it would be necessary to screen over 1,200 women aged 40-74 every year for 14 years to prevent even one death from breast cancer." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)
| "Here's a heart surgeon, here's a gastroenterologist, here's a foot doctor or an eye doctor or a brain surgeon, and so on. This is the future of our economy, and the children today who are graduating from high school and college are in fact being told that they should get trained in careers that focus on the proliferation of chronic disease. There's a huge shortage in nursing right now, and people are being urged to get training in that area if they want jobs when they graduate." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)
| "Cancer: Clinics Offering Alternative Therapies
This protocol profiles many (but not all) prominent cancer clinics staffed by individuals who are considered to be capable of piloting an alternative attack against cancer. Descriptions are detailed in the hope that patients may find physical, emotional, and geographic links with a particular clinic or natural therapy.
When describing the various complimentary cancer clinics, it is not possible to endorse one treatment or physician over another." - The Life Extension Editorial Staff, Disease Prevention and Treatment (Get the book.)

"It seems that if we listen to doctors, pharmaceutical companies, or advertisements on television about cancer clinics and treatments, we come away with the idea that cancer is some sort of mysterious affliction that no one completely understands. Other than knowing that too much sun exposure can cause skin cancer, smoking too much can cause lung cancer, and drinking too much can cause liver or kidney cancer, we somehow get the idea that, for just about any other case, the medical profession is "stumped" as to what causes cancer."

| "Up to 1 million iu of vitamin A per day has been given for 5 years without side effects in European cancer clinics." One study found that women taking as little as 10,000 iu/day during pregnancy had a slightly elevated risk for having a child with birth defects (teratogenicity). Another study from the National Institutes of Health found no increase in birth defects in women taking 25,000 iu/day of vitamin A." - Patrick Quillin, Beating Cancer with Nutrition (Get the book.)
| "There would be no need for any additional cancer research funding. cancer clinics around the world would close, hundreds of thousands of people would be put out of work, entire industries would shut down overnight and billions and billions and billions of dollars in profit would no longer be funneling in to the kingpins who control the cancer industry.
So when this person makes this discovery, what happens? In some cases these people simply vanished. In other cases these people were given hundreds of millions of dollars for their research." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)
| "An FDA biochemist, John Hathcock, PhD, states that toxicity with vitamin A at these low levels mainly involves people with confounding medical conditions, including compromised liver function." cancer clinics in Europe often administer up to 2.5 million iu/day of vitamin A in emulsified form for several months imder medical supervision. While these doses are not recommended without medical supervision, it shows the relative safety of vitamin A in the general population." - Patrick Quillin, Beating Cancer with Nutrition (Get the book.)
