I was diagnosed with liver cancer 5 years ago and I asked the doctor at Cedars-Sinai in LA if I didn’t do anything how long would I have to live? He said about a year. I’ve been having an MRI every six months and the tumor has grown a little and one time actually shrank by 20%. I have talked with my wife about all the people and relatives that had cancer and went through therapy and still passed while suffering and becoming trapped in the medical industry. We counted 25 people. I know my situation is a personal choice but sometimes I think the medical industry pushes therapy for monetary reasons.

Maybe 40 years ago, I knew a man in his 60s that went to the doctor for a persistent cold. He had an X-Ray done that showed spots on his lungs. The doctor wanted to do a biopsy by he refused. He told the doctor, “I’m 67, and I’ve been smoking since I was 10. We know what is. And, I have seen too many people go into a hospital for a biopsy and never go home.” He owned an auto repair shop. He went back to work and lived another 18 months, and worked 10 of them.

I've been saying this for years: Follow the money.

There will never be a cure for heart disease or cancer. If they cure the patient, the patient no longer requires their services. They'd prefer to keep treating the condition and collecting the payments for doing so.
