Science Confirms Chemotherapy Does Not Work For Breast Cancer Patients

New research has confirmed that chemotherapy is virtually useless for breast cancer patients and discovered, in addition to killing tumor cells, chemotherapy treatment will actually enable cancer cells to spread.

Breast Cancer Is An Frightening Epidemic With Dismal Statistics

According to US Breast Cancer Statistics, about 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. In 2017, an estimated 252,710 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 63,410 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer. Breast cancer isn’t only about women, statistics show about 2,470 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in men in 2017. A man’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000.

Chemotherapy Isn’t Working

Currently chemotherapy is the most popular treatment for breast cancer treatments, but a recent study has found that it actually feeds the problem. Many breast cancer patients are given chemotherapy pre-surgery, but the new research suggests that, this is no longer the way to go. Although chemo may shrink tumors initially, these new and alarming findings show that chemotherapy could actually trigger the spread of cancer cells around the body.

It is not new news that chemotherapy strengthens cancer cells in the long term and it has been confirmed yet again in this study that toxic medications switch on a repair mechanism in the body, which ultimately enables the tumors to grow back stronger, spreading it throughout the body.

It’s Confirmed That Chemotherapy Causes Cancer To Spread

Dr George Karagiannis, of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, New York, found an increase in metastasis in 20 patients receiving two common chemotherapy drugs.

Through further study Karagiannis discovered that in mice with breast cancer chemotherapy increased the number of cancer cells circulating the body and in the lungs.

The study only investigated chemotherapy-induced cancer cell dissemination in breast cancer but will is currently working on other types of cancer to see if similar effects are elicited.

This is completely misleading. The study indicates that in fact chemo therapy DOES work to kill cancer cells, but there is an increased risk of metastasis via the cardiovascular system. The study also states that they tested a drug that eliminates the added risk. What this article fails to do is 2 very important things...provide the actual increased risk. It also fails to take into account the amount of patients who survived after chemotherapy vs. The amount of patients who died without receiving chemotherapy. The trend is clear. Take a few minutes to read, and put aside your ideology.

Chemotherapy has always strengthened cancer. It has always caused metastasis. More medicating isn't the answer. Thanks for posting.

No one is interested in popping more pills than they have to, but as is the case in science-based medicine, you weigh the risks and the benefits and you look at the evidence. Your opinion piece, incorrectly suggests that chemotherapy is useless in Breast Cancer research. It's a reckless position to take.

My friend Tara Coyote with Cancer Warrioress is having success healing her stage 4 breast cancer naturally. This does not mean she's eating more veggies. No it's been almost as intense as Chemo with cancer die off taking her energy and the price to pay for all of this, that said, it's working she's following the Gerson method and has gone from a 8.2 cancer markers in Nov 2016 to a 3 in June 2017. She's healing at a fast rate and her choice to forgo chemo and surgery is what will keep her alive, not the toxic soup that the medical system wanted her to ingest for her health...it's just laughable the absurdity of poisoning your body to heal it. I will say to all those that have successfully healed their cancer with chemo, surgery or radiation, that I'm happy your healed, for those that have undergone the torturous regime and have not lived...I'm sad for their families yet not surprised. We are what we eat and think and if you don't believe that watch "Super Size Me" Documentary.
