I guess this means that, heaven forbid, someone should contract cancer radiation therapy is out of the question, eh?

You actually have the nerve to roll your eyes at me? Jesus Key Riest.
Apparently plain English AND common sense are just so old fashioned and out of date these days, aye?
READ MY FREAKING LIPS ..... I'm talking about the
incidence of cancer ..... do you understand the difference between
incidence and
death rate from a disease? The reality is that the cancer (incidence) rates have steadily INCREASED, and have reached alarming numbers, and is now occurring in age groups that never experienced these types of diseases in the past, which used to affect primarily the older folks. This incidence rate of all types of cancers have been INCREASING decade after decade, non-stop. So, now that we've established that there is a difference between having a particular disease and dying from it ... let's move on to the claims that the death rates are declining.
I already explained earlier how people can DIE of cancer and still be counted in the group of CURED ..... all one has to do is survive for 5 years .... then you are considered cured ... even if you die later. Do you see how this rather predictable method might affect the legitimacy of the "cured" statistics ? Ever so slightly ?
The facts are, aside from the most aggressive cases which are in the minority ... most cancers don't strike you down like a lightening bolt .. they are generally slow progressive diseases ... which left alone and untreated may not lead to death at all, especially in older individuals who'll likely die from something else before dying from the cancer. In the non-elderly, the majority of cancers that are considered lethal forms, will take several years before causing death. Now if I'm losing you here .. let me explain it this way ... you are very likely to live 5 years after being diagnosed with cancer, even if you refuse traditional cancer treatment. Some data suggest that your longevity is shortened, not extended by the cancer treatment itself, in most of the cases not involving the rare and very aggressive cases of cancer for which treatment may slow the process. Not surprisingly, it is these cases of aggressive cancers that reach stage 4 when cancer specialists often recommend no treatment because of the debilitating effects on the quality of life .... my personal view is that they have been trained to respond this way to protect the phony baloney cure rates .... they realize that with advanced cancers .. the patient is in too weak a condition to tolerate what amounts to a chemical/biological weapon pumped into their bodies, and are likely to die from it before ever completing treatment.
So, tying that back to the fraud alluded to previously about including even the people that died of cancer as part of the "cured group" because they managed to stay alive for 5 years after being diagnosed with cancer, you might be able to then UNDERSTAND the REAL MEANING of the statement "Early detection is the key to curing cancer" ? Do ya get? Do you get the freaking joke pal? No? You don't get? OK ... let me explain that part to you as well. If you get a disease ... any disease that takes ... for the sake of discussion, 7 years to kill you left untreated ... and the ONLY criteria for claiming to have cured the disease consists solely of anyone who survives for 5 years .... every single one of those patients whose 7 year disease is detected in the first year or two are likely to make the cured list ... unless the treatment kills them first. Therefore, the sooner you detect the disease, the higher the cure rate, even if every stinking one of them DIE in year 7. Now do you get it? In short, the cure rate numbers are a total, unadulterated fraud. Hey ... why not just declare cancer cured if the patient survives for a week! Then, you could get an almost 100% cure rate.
OK ... last but not least ... since Richard Nixon declared "War on Cancer" in the 1970's, and over the past 4 decades, Hundred of Billions, if not Trillions of Dollars have been spent on cancer research and treatments ..and given that the Pharmaceutical Companies, American Cancer Society, Cancer Institutes and their "scientists" all over the world, medical centers, and ten's of thousands of oncologists are the primary beneficiaries of those Hundreds of Billions of dollars .... what do you suppose they are going to say about their success treating cancer? Better yet, what do you suppose would be the very last thing that they would say? Let me give you a hint ... they are highly unlikely to say ANY of the following:
1) That cancer rates have skyrocketed since the 1970's, in spite of the "war on cancer" and hundreds of Billions spent on cancer research.
2) That there is not one shred of evidence to prove that traditional cancer treatment has EVER cured ANYONE of cancer ... (precisely because of the fraudulent manner of counting people that died of cancer among those in the cured group, as explained earlier)
3) That even though it is well understood among the most knowledgeable cancer experts that between 80 and 90% of cancers do not respond positively to chemotherapy OR radiotherapy, these are still the routine treatments used ANYWAY. (This could not make any less sense, given the damage these therapies produce as a side effect, unless the name of the game is sickness instead of wellness)
4) That chemotherapy is more often than not, more dangerous than the cancer itself, often useless against the cancer it is used to combat, and is just as likely to kill you as the cancer itself.
5) That radiotherapy virtually assures a re-occurrence of cancer due to the damage it causes to previously healthy cells and DNA, and that patients who have undergone the first stage of traditional cancer treatment -chemotherapy- have a totally destroyed immune system that now provides a very fertile environment for those later cancers to emerge and thrive, as the body's immune system no longer functions well enough to protect it against those cancers. (Almost sounds like there is a hidden agenda behind this ... huh?)
6) That the very last thing the American Cancer Society and the medical establishment as a whole wants to see is the successful prevention and cure of ANY disease, including cancer. Their very existence, and growth as an industry for profit relies on the treatment of disease ... not curing or eliminating it. With that in mind, what might the recipe be for increasing growth and profit of this BUSINESS called medicine? Could it be the same formula that EVERY OTHER BUSINESS has? Increasing their customer base? So, what does medicine say it wants .... it says it's working REAL HARD to reduce the number of it's customers by seeking cures and prevention. (Right ... and Ford and GM want everyone to stop driving automobiles and take the Bus instead.)
7) That you cannot have increasing cure rates at the same time you have increasing incident rates should be obvious, primarily because "curing a disease" leads to reduction and eventual "eradication" of that disease ... that is the very meaning of "Cure". So what do we really see in the numbers? We see increases in the numbers of people with cancer ... while the medical establishment "claims" to be curing more and more cancer everyday. So in spite of their claimed efforts to reduce their customer numbers, their customers are increasing anyway ... just a coincidence, which just so happens to be lucrative and auspicious for the medical establishment! Imagine that!!
8) That external radiation exposure is not healthy, and that introducing radioactive material into the body internally for medical diagnostic or treatment purposes is CRAZY .. not crazy for the medical establishment that reaps rewards for increased numbers of customers ... but crazy for people who would prefer not to be customers at all.
To sum this all up for you, and for others ... and tying this together with the topic under discussion in this thread, the mainstream sources for which a very dumbed down and gullible public relies on for information pertaining to safeguarding their health ... in this case of radiation from Japan and other sources ... the EPA and the FDA and the so-called "experts" ... these sources are the VERY LAST PLACE one is likely to get a shred of truth. In fact ... you are likely to get the exact opposite, and there are hundreds of examples of this already well documented.
That the EPA is now in the process of increasing the "safe levels" of radiation exposure in response to the "tragedy" in Japan, common bloody sense ought to kick in at some point ... but for many people, the denseness of their skulls seems more formidable than a steel reinforced concrete bunker, and the simple act of adding 2 + 2 now requires the assistence of a calculator from radio shack.
But given my desperate need for a good laugh today, I'd really appreciate someone providing me the scientific "explanation" for how a massive release of highly toxic radioactive material into the environment somehow made radiation less dangerous to biological life in just the span of a couple of weeks? Evolution? Adaptation? What?
Come on ... I know you can do it .... just educate me on this rather perplexing matter ... and then you can roll your eyes until you glow in the dark!
Or, face freaking reality as distasteful as it may be ... and realize you are being lied to ... and made sick for the sake of business profits by the very same entities and institutions posing as your health protectors and saviors.
For those that cannot see this rather obvious fraud .... the only doctor you actually need is an ophthalmologist.
