why so many prescriptions?

I was talking this guy the other day, he has cancer, brain and lung and then he showed me his bag of medicine..holy shit, he had at least 20 bottles..what the hell?
what did people do 75 years ago?
when they didnt have the amount of medicines we have..


are the prescriptions really all about cash to?

are the doctors in bed with the pharmaceutical companies and insurances?

 

75 years ago people died and they did not know what from.

Most forms of cancer are treated with a broad spectrum of drugs and then there are also drugs given to counter side effects of not only medications but also radiation and chemo damage.

Hope your friend does well with the treatment and the disease.

 

It's an example of how the medical establishment sucks the money out of you as they suck the life out of you as well. Let's face it, with the way they treat cancer these days, it's often really a matter of what kills you first: the cancer, or the drugs they give you to kill the cancer (which is toxic to the entire body and destroys the body's immunity, which, ironically, is what fights cancer off in the first place and keeps it from returning). I have no doubt a real cure for cancer exists, and has existed for a long time. In fact, I believe there are multiple cures out there, some of which entail simple changes in diet (ie. ketogenic diets), but this information is mostly suppressed because there is no money in it, and cancer is a great way for the evil which rules the world to keep the population levels in check.

Are the doctors in bed with the drug and insurance companies? That's kind of like asking if shit stinks.

Doctors are little more than pill-pushing charlatans -- the lot of them, anyway. Doctors are bestowed with far too much prestige -- prestige which many of them simply do not deserve.

 

There's a quote that goes as such "cancer cells are natural, dying from cancer is not".

Yes, I know some very healthy people who've had cancer who did not go the medical route, I know that people can be cured of cancer medically, but that is given that they are generally healthy enough to handle the treatment and don't continue to have the same habits that allowed the cancer to thrive and take over to begin with.

I think the normalcy of cancer and terminal cancer should be alarming to people, but so many people have little energy to actually think about different options outside of what they are told. I feel sad for them and their families sometimes, but this is human nature, we die, it's supposed to happen.

 

i feel the main source of cancer is poor diet and stress, both of which are induced by our society

 

Epigenetics will unlock a cure for cancer in the future. If doctors can develop a drug that can rewrite cancerous cells and keep mutations from causing cancer in the process; we will have a cure for not only cancer but for aging as well. There are drugs that can kill cancer but they are too toxic (like you said). Another concern with epigenetic altering is memory and motor function. If we "fix" the old dying cell, it is believed to change our personalities as well as memories.

 

Poor diet, mostly. Most people are unaware of the fact that cancer cells are fueled by glucose, and when you shut off the food supply to these cancer cells, they die (hence the ketogenic diet I was referring to in my previous thread). There are other factors, too, but diet will always be the big one (IMO). As long as people continue to suck down drinks laden with high-fructose corn syrup, eat starchy, refined foods, take statin drugs, and get their annual flu vaccine, cancer rates will continue to climb.

 

I 100% agree with u, i would also like to add, all that of which u listed, makes the body more acidic, which cancer cells love. I personally dont know much about the ketogenic diet. ive been interested in a raw food diet myself

 

The studies done to date have not been very definitive but again this is a fairly new way of looking at health.

In 2008 there was a study commissioned and initial data is still not definitive.

New techniques happen all the time and perhaps in the future this will be one of them, even at a diagnostic level.

 

True - the more acidic one's body is, the more cancer cells are likely to grow and flourish. One cause of such high acidity levels is a diet high in sugar and white flour, which makes up a huge part of the SAD (Standard American Diet). Ketogenic diets eliminate the sugar and starchy carbs which make the body acidic and cause cancer cells to grow, and replaces them with healthy fats.

Raw foods, as you mentioned, are also very important for health.

 

i was gonna give u some rep for that, but i already gave u some on another one of ur replies lol

 

When I was 12 my best friend died of cancer. I still remember seeing the huge amount of drugs she had to take stacked up in her bedroom.

 

Those in this thread advocating for a food-based approach to cancer prevention:

What would you do if you were diagnosed with cancer? Would you take medication? Some alternative? Just curious.

 

i would start meditating, eat alot of natural food, fruits and veggies. there is a fruit called sour sop, that is 10,000 times more effective than chemo. and ive also heard of vitamin c iv injections

 

Source?

 

I might take the medication as a last resort, but then again maybe not. It's hard to say unless I was faced with the situation in reality. I definitely would start off with an alternative approach, because I really have no faith in traditional mainstream medicine.

At the same time, I am not really afraid of death the way some people are.

I would probably do something similar. Or perhaps both. What is an example of an alternative approach, that you know of? Other than prevention.

 

Every cell in your body is fueled by glucose.

 

My coworker and I were discussing cancer diagnosis today (we work in health care - I'm the business manager not a part of the clinic fyi - so my medical knowledge is limited).

Anyway her grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and somehow opted not to learn her condition. So her family knew she had cancer but she did not. By the way, this was in DR. She had a painful death, and morphine etc toward the end though virtually no treatment to cure it.

I think this is how I would want it to be for myself.
