I haven't read through all the comments, but what I'm going to say is worth repeating even if someone else has already said it. I'm speaking as a retired M.D. who has seen the Cancer Industrial Profit Complex up close and personal. Before we/anyone can talk about new or better or "safer" or older or cheaper treatments for "cancer," we need to re-evaluate the definition of "cancer." If we are in error regarding what we are treating, then we are very likely in error with our treatments.

From my study, especially over the past 25 years, cancer is NOT what it is portrayed as being today. It is NOT a problem, in the large majority of cases, of genetic damage/mutation--those may be secondary problems caused by the primary problem. IMO, and in the opinion of many other doctors and researchers (not mainstream -- that is controlled by BigFarma and their profit motive) the problem is especially with the mitochondria, with the energy-production system of the body, with sick protoplasm from toxic diets, toxic environmental exposures (including the poisons called "prescribed medications"), lack of necessary nutrients, exercise, rest, etc.

This isn't a new concept (promoted almost 90 years ago by Warburg, and others since), but just like the germ theory of disease is a much more lucrative construct in comparison with terrain theory (we need more antibiotics and TOXXINES!!), the genetic ("you've got an innate problem and in the majority of cases all we can do is 'treat' it not cure it") basis for cancer is MUCH more lucrative for the Drug Cartel. It keeps their clients coming back for treatments, and then for treatment of the disease caused by the "treatments." And I'll stop there.

Thanks for the offer, but there are already many books written on the topic. People simply need to be aware and read. But that takes time and many have become accustomed to soundbite (and even blogbite) information and don't want to put out the effort. Many simply want to go to a doctor that will tell them what to do rather than learn how to take care of themselves. "I've got insurance" generally covers the efforts many will exert to "assure their health."

The whole mindset of the people has to change. They need to understand that the medical system of the west is totally corrupted. Not only is it minimally helpful, but it is dangerous -- even the "well-meaning" that still "practice" in it and are considered "experts" are basically well-trained salespersons of the system.

Because of that, until the danger-to-health of the present system is recognized and we can get back to a health system that actually deals with "health," not profits, they need to become their own caretakers. They need to learn what to do for themselves, not trust in "doctors" ... whether mainstream "allopathic" or alternative medicine. Otherwise, they're simply turning their health over to strangers. Easier, but not safer.

As I said, there are many resources. The lastest book I just bought and haven't started reading yet is, "The Metabolic Approach to Cancer" -- Dr Nasha Winters and Jess Higgins Kelley. Can't give it my full stamp of approval bc I haven't read it yet. But I've heard and read the primary author and agree with what I heard. Dr. Mercola, who has his own substack, is a good source of info and a good source of other sources.
