Preface

 

Suppose you were speaking with a medical doctor, and you asked her the following question: “Doctor, do you think it would be a good idea for me to do everything I can to strengthen my immune system?”

Can you even imagine that she would respond: “No, I don’t think that’s such a good idea at all.” Would she not rather say something like: “That would be a great idea. The stronger your immune system, the healthier you’re going to be!”

No matter whether you are now healthy, or are suffering from an illness, either minor (e.g., the common cold) or extremely serious in nature (such as cancer) – everyone would be better off if he did all he could to fortify his immune system.

Before you criticize me for stating the obvious here, consider the fact that many of the “treatments” offered by the Medical-Pharmaceutical Industry are not only not designed to help your immune system; quite the contrary, many, if not most, of the prescription drugs given to patients actually weaken their bodies’ defenses. Even worse: for illnesses that clearly signal that a patient’s immune system is already in a weakened state − cancer is here a prime example – “treatments” like chemotherapy are routinely employed even though it is well-known to just about every physician on the planet that chemotherapy not only further weakens, but can eventually totally destroy even a healthy immune system.

This tragic irony is due to two misconceptions, in addition to what is, in my view, an ethical crime.

The first misconception, held by a surprisingly large number of medical personnel, is that the human being is merely a sort of highly developed machine: if something isn’t working right, you have to “fix the parts”, and hope that the body will soon be “working” again. This misconception has led to excesses such as prescribing antibiotics liberally, even for things such as the common cold (that is almost always viral in nature, and thus will not respond at all to antibiotics). Note well: these antibiotics, in addition to having other side effects, will kill necessary bacteria in the body, and this will weaken your body instead of strengthening it.

(Read this article from the site of the Mayo Clinic).

The second misconception is that if there are “bad cells” present in the body, the best we can do is try to “kill them off” in order for the patient to be able to recover. This is the reigning medical paradigm as far as present-day mainstream cancer treatment is concerned, and has led to techniques such as radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.

Yet even in cases where, after chemo treatment, the cancerous cells have “disappeared”, it happens very often that some months, or a few years later, the cancer returns, either in its original location, or somewhere else in the body. In alltoo-many cases, chemo doesn’t “kill all those bad cells” at all. Quite the contrary: during the months of chemo treatment, it can often be seen that the patient’s condition worsens even more quickly than it had been doing before treatment. We tend to chalk this up to the cancer itself, although practically anyone who is informed about the dangers of chemo would reasonably have to conclude that the rapid deterioration of the patient’s condition was not the result of cancer alone, but was largely the fault of chemotherapy.

That chemotherapy can well be deadly − even for healthy people − was amply demonstrated by the criminal activity of an oncologist in the Detroit area, who in 2015 was sentenced to 45 years in prison for diagnosing even completely healthy patients with cancer, so that he could make a fortune by treating them with chemotherapy. As a result, many of these patients suffered irreparable damage to their health; others died. (Read the CNN article: “Patients give horror stories as cancer doctor gets 45 years”; also this one).

 As horrifyingly tragic and outrageous as this case is, is does serve to show very plainly that chemo drugs will permanently injure, and even kill, people whose health is not bad at all. Imagine then, what they will do to those whose immune systems are already severely weakened by cancer!

For this reason, I feel that even when doctors are not criminals (and fortunately, the great majority of them are not), they are nonetheless engaging in what could be called – ethically speaking – a crime when they recommend, and administer chemotherapy to people whose types of cancer have been proven to not be helped through chemo treatments.

I can hear some of you now: “What? How can you dare to say such a thing, David? Where’s the proof of such a bold statement?”  I urge you to read on, because the proof exists, in the form of a scientific study: a systematic review of the medical literature, that took into account tens of thousands of patients in the U.S. and Australia, and which showed plainly that for nine common types of cancer, chemo contributes nothing whatsoever even to five-year survival rates (let alone to achieving a cure).

That’s right: every day, chemo drugs are being given to patients who have types of cancer that will not respond to chemo – which means that those patients are going to be much more harmed than helped by such an invasive “treatment”. Later, I will not only quote from this study, but will provide download links to it: this is necessary because “mainstream” cancer sites will not give you this information. Why not? Well, that’s another part of the “criminal” element present in our topic. The MedicalPharmaceutical Industry rakes in literally billions of dollars per year thanks to chemotherapy. So is it reasonable to expect that they will give you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth as far as chemo is concerned?

By this point, you may be thinking that I am merely some sort of “prophet of doom”, and that reading this book will only take away any hope that you might have – whether you be a cancer patient, or a family member of someone stricken with the illness.

But don’t despair, for nothing could be farther from the truth. If my only message to you were that chemo should almost always be avoided like the plague, I probably would not have written this book, for I know the importance of hope. Yet you will find on these pages many reasons why you can, and truly should have hope, for I will show you a path that has sometimes led to complete cures for cancer. I myself know two people who achieved a complete, and real cure, through totally natural means. And it will cost you next to nothing!

Now: I am not a doctor, nor do I work in the health-care industry. But I do have a pretty good head on my shoulders, and have spent quite a bit of time looking for the truth as far as cancer treatment is concerned. You will find many links in this book, to articles, scholarly studies, etc. For you see, the truth is out there – though don’t expect to always get it from the Medical-Pharmaceutical Industry, for their main concern is not your health and welfare, but rather, their exorbitant profits.

I defy anyone – doctor, or layman – to challenge the main message I am giving my readers in this volume. It is a message I have already stated, and which I will state again and again throughout the book, in the hope that even the most superficial of readers will absorb it.

Here it is:

If you have cancer, you should do anything and everything you can to strengthen your immune system”.

Is there really any honest individual in his or her right mind who would deny that? Read on, and feel free to challenge what you find if it doesn’t make sense to you.

I am convinced that if you follow my reasoning, you will come to basically the same two main conclusions that I have reached. First, that the best way to treat cancer is seldom chemotherapy. Second, that despite this, there is definitely hope for recovery, if a patient is willing to take charge of the situation and is determined to fortify his immune system.

In some of my books about other subjects, I might, at the end of the introduction, write something like “Enjoy reading about (whatever the topic happens to be)”. I will refrain from wishing you an “enjoyable read” here, though, for I realize that the subject is anything but enjoyable. Nonetheless, it is of supreme importance. If you ever (God forbid!) fall ill with cancer, you will only be able to make the right decisions about the proper treatment if you have the facts – and many essential facts are routinely withheld from us by the Medical-Pharmaceutical Industry. Read this book, follow the links to the articles and scientific studies, and above all, think for yourself: allow reason to be your guide, instead of blindly trusting the suggestions or recommendations of others.
