Junk science. They want death panels. No more chemo for you. For your own good.

More loke death panels, you get chemotherapy, you have insurance and money for the max deductible.

Good thing for the insurance industry that the lobbyists got the deductible so high. The pills cost a penny to make and the radiation machine costs almost nothing to run.

It’s all profit to them.

You, loose.

I don't think it's "junk science" -- the idea behind chemotherapy and radiotherapy is essentially to kill more cancerous cells than the cancer can replace, and considering that your perfectly normal body has cancerous cells at any point in time that's a suspect strategy -- the healthy body correctly identifies these cells and terminates them, which is why even though you have cancerous cells at any point you aren't considered to "have cancer".

Here's an article from 2013 that describes how bacteria can be used; and I'm sure I read a paper a couple years before that detailing how salmonella could essentially 'reset' the immune-system to recognize the cancer. (I couldn't find it, but here's a recent article that describes it.)

I think it is correct in that some cancers will spread in some people using certain drugs.

Chemo is a crap shoot. I have lost friends and family to cancer, and learned more about it than I ever wanted to know.
