Does Chemotherapy Work?

Dr Hardin B Jones, a former professor at Berkeley, has been studying the life spans of cancer patients for more than 25 years. He has come to the conclusion that, despite popular belief, chemotherapy doesn’t work. He witnessed a multitude of cancer patients treated with the chemotherapy die horrific deaths—thanks to the drugs! This was in comparison with their peers on no chemotherapy.

After investigating this further, Dr Jones found that cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy actually died prematurely. Dr Jones exposed a fact that the conventional cancer industry doesn’t want the world to know as it about its multi-billion-dollar cash cow.

A paper published in The Lancet way back in 1980 showed that conventional cancer treatment, especially chemotherapy, did not prolong patient’s life span. This picture has not changed even today; but we continue to use the same treatment, thanks to aggressive promotions by vested interests. A 1979 study, in Israel had also come to similar conclusions.

Dangerous Polypharmacy

Cochrane database in the UK shows that, by the age 50, nearly 47% of the people are on one to three pills that do not help them but could have given them new side-effects in newer diseases. One example is of the popular statins. Whereas statins might, or might not, bring down heart and brain attack deaths marginally, statins certainly would have brought in many new illnesses as their side-effects. Many on statins become diabetics.

Pesticides Cause World Malnutrition!

Genetically modified (GM) food and pesticides, together, might push mankind into dangerous malnutrition by destroying the natural pollinators. “Pollinator declines can really matter to human health, with quite scary numbers for vitamin A deficiencies, for example, which can lead to blindness and increase death rates for some diseases, including malaria," said UVM scientist Taylor Ricketts, co-author of the new study. Pesticides also make our fertile soil impotent, thanks to the killing of all earthworms and their ilk, depriving the soil of oxygen supply! We do not see what is good in nature. We have sold our souls to the devil in search of corporate profits—a short-term gain and long-term loss beyond comprehension.

Oil Pulling Reduces Mouth Malodour

Oil pulling is an old method of treating many maladies in Ayurveda. This was mainly an anecdotal finding, until very recently. Now, it has got scientific backing. The first thing you take in the morning 15-20ml of your choice of oil (sesame oil and coconut oil are the two choices). Swish the oil through the teeth but do not gargle. This can go on for 10-15 minutes before spitting the oil out. Within a week or two, the bad smell in the mouth disappears. It reduces the harmful bacteria in the mouth. The other claims in Ayurveda, like relief of joint pain, etc, still remains anecdotal. Since they are as good as chlorhexidine, oils are much safer than chemicals in the mouth. The other advantage is that these oils do not kill good germs of which there should be billions in our mouth for good oral health.
