Okay, this guy might be a phony, but have you ever noticed that people who have cancer typically get most of the really bad symptoms after they start chemotherapy?

That is because chemotherapy is the practice of methodically poisoning the body in order to kill the weakest cells. Since the cancer cells are typically the least hardy of all cells in the body, the goal is to sicken all, but kill the weakest.

The main difference is that chemotherapy has the decency to admit that it's poison. A lot of "all natural remedies" don't. (Remember, folks: just because something is natural doesn't mean it's good for you! Cyanide is all-natural too, y'know.)

Next question?

I was diagnoses with terminal lung cancer in august of 1997. I was given 4 months to live... About the same as they gave Peter Jennings.

I went to several medical institutions in Ohio. The Cleveland Clinic, James Cancer Center and one other oncologist. They all said the same thing. With treatment I had an 8 percent chance of living a year and a 33 percent chance of living 4 months.

I finally visited the cancer treatment center in my home town hospital. The oncologist told me of an experimental treatment for terminal patients. It had a 15 percent chance of success.

The experimental chemo would kill the cancer... The only problem was it had an 85 percent chance of killing me first. I had a 15 percent chance of surviving the side effects of the chemo. If I did survive the treatment, then my cancer would likely be killed.

I took the shot. I went through 4 months of chemo and 2 months of radiation. It nearly killed me... and it did kill the cancer.

I have now been cancer free since February of 1998. I will soon be free of cancer for seven and a half years.

At the 5 year survivial point the oncologist turned me back over to my family doctor. He said I was very lucky to be alive. Had I come in just 2 weeks sooner the experimental chemo would not have been available.. and I would have died in 4 months.

Does Chemo make you worse? It certalnly does. Nothing had been found that will kill cancer that won't severly damage other cells in your body. There are just two prospects for lung cancer.... do nothing and die, or take chemo and hope that the chemo kills the cancer before it kills you.

That's because the chemotherapy is a carefully balanced poisoning act.

Unless they don't start chemotherapy.
