The use of anticancer drugs and radiotherapy to treat cancer can lead to other new cancers.

According to statistics, the incidence of cancer is widespread in both developed and developing countries around the world, making it a formidable enemy to human health. The average person has a one in four chance of developing cancer in their lifetime. With the destruction of the ecological environment and changes in lifestyle and dietary habits, the cancer incidence rate continues to rise each year, causing widespread fear of cancer. After being diagnosed with cancer, the average five-year survival rate for those undergoing conventional medical treatment does not exceed 50%, and for some, the survival rate is less than 20%. Currently, conventional treatments offer surgical procedures, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, but no truly effective treatment method has been established. This is why cancer is widely regarded as a terrifying disease.

In fact, beyond the aforementioned conventional treatments, there are many revolutionary non-conventional prevention and treatment methods that have been practiced in Europe for many years by some open-minded conventional doctors. Unfortunately, due to the biases within traditional medicine, these methods are not widely accepted and remain relatively unknown.

In Europe, there are several hundred so-called biomedical hospitals and clinics, mostly run by conventional Western doctors, which do not use any chemical drugs but instead fully implement natural, harmless, and effective biological therapies. These therapies include immunotherapy, ozone therapy, fever therapy, autologous hormone therapy, neural therapy, hot ether therapy, coffee retention enema therapy, fruit and vegetable juice fasting therapy, herbal therapy, and high-dose vitamin therapy. In West Germany alone, there are over 4,000 biological doctors who are members of the Association of Natural Therapy (Biomedical) Physicians. They use biological treatments to address various diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, arthritis, mental illness, and cancer. This approach is also found in countries like the UK, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Denmark, and Mexico. Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1985, recovered his health through biological therapy. His former personal physician, Dr. Nieper, was a member of the West German Biomedical Association. Another example is the bald actor Yul Brynner, who was diagnosed with lung cancer at the age of 66 and given only eight weeks to live. He later went to West Germany to receive treatment from Dr. Nieper, which completely restored his health.

For most people, the belief is that illness must be treated with medication. Therefore, we continuously seek to develop new drugs, and the same applies to cancer. However, to date, we have not discovered any drug that can cure any chronic disease (cancer being one of them). Although drugs can temporarily control the condition, I firmly believe that no single drug can cure cancer—neither now nor in the future. Many celebrities, experts, scholars, and even high-ranking doctors have unfortunately died of cancer in their prime, and this is the reason. Only by assisting the body's own healing mechanisms can cancer be overcome. We are endowed with a miraculous healing system that is more effective than any treatment system designed by humans. If given the appropriate opportunity and conditions, this internal healing system can correct any adverse health condition and restore health.

Therefore, the prevention, fundamental causes, and effective treatment methods for cancer have long been known. All conscientious doctors and medical personnel should take it upon themselves to promote and develop these methods, so that the masses suffering from this dreadful modern disease can benefit. When current conventional treatments show no progress or are ineffective, it is the duty of a doctor to set aside prejudices and stubbornness, prioritize the health and precious lives of patients, and accept and study different fields of medicine, including various natural and harmless biological therapies, to improve patients' quality of life and resistance. This is the highest motive and purpose of medicine, rather than clinging to outdated methods and remaining obstinate. In Taiwan, approximately 38,000 people die from cancer each year.In the United States, over 400,000 people die from cancer each year. Most of these patients repeatedly undergo surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy during their lives, yet ultimately, these treatments fail to save them.

Cancer Surgery is Ineffective

According to liquid pathology, cancer is a chronic, blood-related, deficiency-related, systemic, and toxic metabolic disorder, which eventually manifests as localized tumors. Tumors are merely the result of cancer, not its cause. Therefore, removing the tumor with surgery does not address the underlying cause, making surgery only a symptomatic treatment. Patients often experience recurrence or metastasis soon after. When a tumor is detected in the body, an abnormal metabolic function has already developed, favoring tumor growth. Thus, removing one or several tumors does not alter this metabolic dysfunction. Moreover, surgery disrupts tissue integrity, stimulating the body and allowing toxic blood, laden with various toxins, to circulate freely, which can easily lead to metastasis. Since tumors themselves are a form of toxin, this explains why many clinical patients experience recurrence or metastasis shortly after surgery. While surgery cannot be entirely dismissed, it is only a last resort when cancer reaches an advanced stage, and tumors compress vital organs or obstruct the intestines. However, surgery still fails to resolve the root cause or prevent future recurrences.

Regarding the effectiveness of surgical treatment, let us quote Dr. Huang Shijie from the Oncology Department of National Taiwan University Hospital in his book *Cancer*: "Many tumors have already metastasized to other parts or even lie dormant in the bone marrow, lungs, and brain before diagnosis or treatment. In such cases, even if surgery achieves perfection, it only removes the primary tumor at the surgical site. Those free-floating malignant cells will thrive again given the opportunity. However, some tumor cells may remain localized for months or years before re-emerging." In short, using surgery to treat cancer is like searching for a needle in a haystack—blind and futile.

Radiation Easily Causes Bone Tumors and New Cancers

In 1895, Roentgen discovered X-rays, and the following year, French physicist Becquerel discovered the properties of uranium. In 1898, the Curies successfully extracted radium and uranium, sharing the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics with Becquerel. Roentgen himself won the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901. With technological advancements and the discovery of various radioactive isotopes, radiation therapy became the second "magic weapon" in conventional cancer treatment. However, blindly relying on this "cutting-edge technology" is utterly absurd. Not only does it fail to eradicate the root cause, but it also reduces the patient's resistance to disease (causing systemic fatigue), burns the patient's skin, and severely damages the digestive organs. Although there may be short-term pain relief immediately after radiation, the irradiated tissues suffer significant damage, making the treatment not worth the cost. Pain often intensifies soon after.

In 1946, the American Cancer Society published a 20-page report by five distinguished medical researchers: "X-rays and gamma rays may cause malignant bone tumors (a particularly painful form of cancer)." Therefore, based on evidence, it can be concluded that X-rays and radium should not be used in cancer treatment. These two radiation therapies represent a focus on symptoms while ignoring the root cause. Radiation therapy weakens the body, reduces resistance, and, if the radiation is too strong, can even cause death. Many cancer patients die from excessive radiation or surgery. Their deaths are facilitated by functional or anatomical changes caused by the treatment.

Dr. C. Moerman, M.D., from the United States, believes that radiation destroys both normal and cancerous cells, disrupts the activity of vitamins C and B, and accelerates the deterioration of metabolic functions. He views radiation therapy as entirely without merit.In the 1988 edition of "Cancer Etiology," a 3,000-page report by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in the United States, it was stated: "Investigations of cervical cancer patients who received radiation found that even minimal doses of radiation could cause leukemia, as well as cancers of the rectum and vagina. High doses of radiation in the thousands of rads could also lead to bladder cancer, bone cancer, cervical cancer, and lymphoma. Radiation therapy for cervical cancer can also damage the adrenal glands, leading to hormonal imbalances."

The director of the National Cancer Institute confirmed—chemotherapy cannot cure cancer.

Chemotherapy is the third most important tool in conventional medicine for treating cancer. Conventional medicine believes that cancer cells are the cause of cancer, not the result, thus focusing solely on targeting cancer cells. Therefore, its cancer treatment theory does not go beyond Pasteur's "Germ Theory of Disease." Whether it is truly effective, I think everyone knows. However, according to Dr. DeVita, the director of the National Cancer Institute, during his testimony before the Senate in 1985: "It has been theoretically confirmed from a molecular biology perspective that chemotherapy cannot cure cancer. This is a great regret for us. With the advancement of molecular biology, even the genetic material within cells is no longer hidden. When cancer cells encounter chemotherapy drugs, they manipulate their own genetic material to render the drugs ineffective." This is similar to how using pesticides to kill pests leads to the emergence of new pest species. Cancer cells can also develop drug resistance. This report aligns with the conclusions discussed by the Japanese Cancer Society. Dr. DeVita's report sparked significant discussion at the Japanese Cancer Society, even leading to the formation of a symposium to discuss it. The symposium, titled "Can Chemotherapy Treat Cancer?" was chaired by Mr. Shimooyama Masanori (National Cancer Center), who stated: "In clinical use of chemotherapy, initially, the drugs are effective and can shrink tumors, but then they become ineffective, leading to worsening cancer or recurrence. This is widely recognized."

As mentioned earlier, in another section of the 3,000-page report by the National Cancer Institute, it was noted that after chemotherapy treatment, in addition to the original cancer, new cancers can emerge. Since chemotherapy drugs themselves are derivatives of petroleum and are highly carcinogenic, the formation of new cancers is inevitable. The report stated: "Patients treated for breast cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and Hodgkin's disease experienced an increase in leukemia. Those treated for breast cancer and multiple myeloma saw an increase in bladder cancer. For leukemia patients, lung cancer increased, and for ovarian cancer patients, colon cancer increased."

Chemotherapy actually shortens patients' lifespans.

The U.S. Congress OTA report cited experimental studies conducted by nearly 20 university medical research institutions, including New York University, the University of Chicago, and Einstein University. From January 1984 to July 1985, 743 patients with stage IV lung cancer were studied. The experiment compared the anti-tumor effects, side effects, and patient survival periods of chemotherapy. In terms of anti-tumor effects, the highest effectiveness was seen in the first group, which received three doses, with a tumor shrinkage rate of 30%. The second group, which received two doses, had a tumor shrinkage rate of 13%, while the group receiving only one dose had a shrinkage rate of just 9%. However, the experiment yielded unexpected and shocking results. The first and second groups experienced severe side effects, leading to a significant reduction in white blood cells and impaired hematopoietic function. Due to the inability to regenerate blood cells, some patients died within weeks of receiving the drugs. In terms of survival periods, the first group averaged 22.7 weeks, while the third group averaged 31.7 weeks.The experimental report indicates that in the first group, although the highest tumor response rate (tumor shrinkage) was observed, the survival period was very short. In contrast, the third group showed a low tumor response rate but had a longer survival period. Drugs that show greater effectiveness in shrinking tumors tend to have stronger side effects and shorter survival periods. This experiment fully illustrates the meaning that "anti-tumor effects are not necessarily beneficial to patients." Up to now, traditional medicine has regarded tumor size as an indicator of treatment effectiveness, believing that tumor shrinkage signifies progress in treatment or that surgical removal of the tumor constitutes the entirety of cancer treatment. This medical perspective can be described as seeing the trees but not the forest. Additionally, the experimental report also points out: "Patients who did not receive any anticancer drugs or radiation therapy at all had longer survival periods." This experiment also proves the words of several medical masters, including the Greek medical sage Hippocrates: "Cancer patients should not aggressively attack the tumor, as this can lead to a longer life."

Chemotherapy damages the immune system, which is the human survival license. However, considering the strong side effects of chemical drugs, which can cause liver damage, lung damage, kidney damage, nerve damage, and a decrease in blood cells, it is inevitable and common sense that these would shorten the patient's survival period. This is the current state of cancer medical care.

Side effects of chemotherapy drugs

The following are common side effects of chemical drugs:
  • Actionmycin: Bone marrow suppression, nausea, vomiting, ulceration at injection site leakage, oral ulcers, skin changes.
  • Ara-C: Nausea, vomiting, bone marrow suppression, occasional stomatitis.

Four Cases of Radiation Sickness

Case One of Radiation Sickness

This is a middle-aged Hakka man living in Miaoli County, whose occupation is in ceramics. He accidentally discovered a small hard lump on his neck and was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. However, his daily life and work routine were no different from a normal person's, but the tragic fate he suffered is unforgettable to me. After surgery at Taichung Veterans General Hospital, doctors used skin from his tongue to repair the surgical wound, leaving him unable to eat. His left cheek was burned by radiation thirty times, causing severe calcification of the left cheekbone, and he couldn't open his mouth to drink water. Therefore, the doctors made a hole in his stomach and used a soft tube to feed him... The first time I entered the ward to see him, I almost vomited because part of his stomach acid was leaking from the side of his stomach, filling the entire ward with its smell. Before treatment, he weighed 58 kilograms, but after five months of treatment, his weight dropped to 33 kilograms, leaving him skin and bones. In the ward were his wife and two young sons. We only had simple conversations, and the rest of the time we were silent in the ward. Watching him lying on the hospital bed, barely alive, I didn't know what comforting words to say. His wife, with tears in her eyes, said to me, "My husband was in good health before, and we hadn't used a single square on his health insurance card in recent years. We originally believed in traditional medicine, but being treated like this, we are really helpless. When they decided to cut my husband's tongue, they didn't even ask for my consent." In the ward, his two young sons kept staring at their father's eyes, as if they knew their father was about to leave them, and they would have to rely on their mother in the future. This is a family tragedy, and also a tragedy for the entire society, but no one has taken any responsibility for this tragedy, nor has anyone cared about the future of this mother and her sons.

Case Two of Radiation Sickness

If everyone's memory serves, they should remember the former Minister of Education, Mr. Lin Qingjiang. He previously suffered from a brain tumor and received cobalt radiation treatment at Taipei Veterans General Hospital. As a result, his hands would involuntarily tremble after treatment, and he felt it was detrimental to his image when he went to the Legislative Yuan for questioning, so he resigned from his position as Minister of Education. It is well known that using cobalt radiation treatment can damage the central nervous system and accelerate metabolic deterioration. However, Veterans General Hospital believed that the most effective method was cobalt radiation treatment. In less than a year, this humble minister passed away. In fact, given his education and knowledge, he would have believed in cobalt radiation, but it seems he was brainwashed by the medical team and fell into the deep trench dug by Pasteur, which is truly regrettable. This is not surprising, as many celebrities, experts, and scholars in society have also jumped into Pasteur's deep trench for help after being diagnosed with cancer. They seem not to have noticed that "terrible Amazon crocodiles" are hiding in this trench. One wrong step leads to eternal regret.

Here, I would like to provide another case for readers' reference. About six years ago, I went to see an elderly man suffering from a brain tumor. This male patient was in his seventies, and he told me that he had asked his attending doctor how long he could live if he underwent surgery or radiation treatment. The attending doctor told him that he could live for about a year, but if he didn't receive any treatment, he could live for about three years. This elderly man chose not to receive any treatment at all. When I first went to see him, he had already been ill for three years and was eating his braised pork rice at the time. Only one eye could not see, possibly because the tumor was pressing on his optic nerve. After more than two years, he passed away. From the onset of the disease to his death, he lived for more than five years. Comparing the quality of life and life extension conditions with Minister Lin, he was indeed much luckier.However, he encountered an honest doctor who told him the truth, saving him from "falling into a trap" and allowing him to enjoy his later years in peace. According to 30 years of cancer statistics by Dr. Jones from the University of California: "The average survival period of cancer patients who do not receive any treatment is three times longer than those who undergo traditional therapies." Believe it or not.

Radiation Case Three

This is about a middle-aged woman living in Xindian who suffered from thoracic cancer and underwent 30 radiation treatments at National Taiwan University Hospital, totaling 6,000 rads. However, her chest was scorched black by the radiation, resembling the color of charcoal. After the treatment, her digestive system completely failed, she couldn't eat, and she continuously vomited, relying on IV drips to sustain her life. Before the treatment, her gastrointestinal system was perfectly normal. Her daughter called the hospital to inquire, and the response was, "This shouldn't happen!" She passed away a few months later.

Radiation Case Four

This is about Ms. Peng, who lived halfway up the mountain in Shilin, Waishuangxi, and worked in the banking sector. She had her entire breast removed due to breast cancer, but during the surgery, her nerves were damaged, rendering her right hand unable to hold objects or write, leaving her completely disabled, with persistent swelling in her hand. The surgical wound on her breast never fully healed, and doctors administered chemotherapy, which led to the wound festering. They then took skin from her buttocks to graft onto the breast wound, which failed, leaving both wounds unhealed. She walked with a limp, like a disabled person. Subsequently, she underwent cobalt radiation, which scorched her shoulder and arm black. Her body was almost entirely covered in wounds. When I visited her at her home, we hadn't spoken much before she couldn't hold back her sobs, recounting the tragic fate she had endured during this period and the verbal humiliation from her attending doctor at Veterans General Hospital, which left her heartbroken and distressed. An Indonesian maid sitting beside her, witnessing her mistress's tearful recount, couldn't help but feel sorrowful. Ms. Peng's plight left a "deep impression" on me. On my way home, I sighed deeply, as her immune system was completely destroyed, and her days were numbered. Even with miraculous medicine, it would be difficult to save her precious life...

A Speech by the World's Leading Cancer Expert

Dr. Josef Issels, M.D., from West Germany, treated cancer for over 30 years, curing more than 10,000 patients, most of whom were in the late stages of cancer when they sought treatment. Due to his unprecedented achievements in cancer treatment, he was summoned by Pope Pius XII on December 14, 1958, and was highly commended. In 1971, the British government's health authorities sent a team of cancer experts to visit his cancer hospital in West Germany, giving it high praise. In 1980, Dr. Issels was invited to New York to deliver an academic speech titled "Cancer, Immunotherapy, and the Holistic Concept." Here is an excerpt from his speech, illustrating the errors in current orthodox medical cancer treatments.

"If new research findings reveal flaws in traditional concepts, they should be corrected; if traditional concepts are entirely wrong, they should be discarded. However, in the treatment of cancer, orthodox medicine does not adhere to this principle. The local concept has become a 'dogma,' and despite repeated proofs of its errors, orthodox medicine clings to it stubbornly. If we intend to treat cancer, we must have a profound realization and change our approach; there is no other way."

"If a therapy, no matter how much its methods are improved and despite billions of dollars spent on research over decades, still cannot improve its efficacy, then there must be a problem with the basic theory. I firmly believe that the current traditional therapies are entirely wrong in their basic theory.""For over a century, traditional cancer therapies have been based on the theory of local cells, yet they have failed to prove the correctness of their theory. Looking back today, we must admit that this concept was profoundly mistaken! Why? Because it mistook the symptom of tumors for the cause of cancer, overlooking the pathological conditions that lead to tumor formation."

"Since the beginning of this century, many physicians around the world have repeatedly emphasized the holistic approach to cancer treatment, unfortunately, the orthodox medical community has turned a deaf ear."

"Currently, the entire situation has changed. Over the past decade, immunological research has fully supported the holistic concept of cancer, proving the necessity of the body's innate ability to resist cancer. In Europe, many prominent figures supporting traditional therapies have called for abandoning the local concept and adopting a holistic approach."

"Yet, cancer patients continue to die in droves because practicing physicians ignore the research findings."

"Over the past thirty years, traditional therapies have shown no novelty in principle. Traditional medical treatments are riddled with flaws. Patients still undergo surgery, burning, and poisoning. There has been no effort to rejuvenate the patient's resistance."
