Anti-Cancer Drugs Make Tumors More Deadly
Dear Friends,
If you have a relative or friend who has cancer and is considering any conventional cancer treatment to achieve tumor shrinkage, you may want to pass this newsletter on to them. It discusses top-notch research just-published in the prestigious medical journal Cancer Cell, which proves aggressive tumor shrinkage is responsible for making cancers deadly and spreading them to other parts of the body.
For the past 20 years, I have been making the ‘outrageous’ claim that common cancer treatments, including chemotherapy medications, radiation therapy, and angiogenesis inhibitors used to shrink cancerous tumors are largely responsible for making them more aggressive and develop in other parts of the body (erroneously called “metastases”) as well. Over the years I have received a fair amount of ridicule, defamatory comments and outright death threats for publishing my unrelenting stance on the subject.
The National Cancer Institute states on its web site: “Angiogenesis inhibitors are unique cancer-fighting agents because they tend to inhibit the growth of blood vessels rather than tumor cells. In some cancers, angiogenesis inhibitors are most effective when combined with additional therapies, especially chemotherapy.” However, a 2012-study which was supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), sheds new light on why the ‘effectiveness’ of these cancer-fighting drugs is actually short-lived and can turn into a frightening scenario with possibly fatal consequences. The new research shows that aggressive treatment (used to shrink or remove even relatively small, slow-growing or encapsulated, harmless tumors) may create a situation where the entire body is riddled with highly aggressive cancers.
This study, published in the January 17, 2012 issue of Cancer Cell, finds that a group of little-explored cells that are part of every primary cancerous tumor likely serve as important gatekeepers against cancer progression and metastasis. A relatively new class of anti-cancer drugs, known as angiogenic inhibitors, diminishes or destroys these cells, called pericytes, by cutting off the blood supply to the tumors.
Scientists and oncologists from around the world made the shortsighted assumption that by cutting off a tumor’s life support system consisting of a tumor’s blood vessels they could achieve a successful and permanent tumor regression. Little did they know that this would open a Pandora’s box and create a cancer nightmare.
Cancer’s Wisdom in Action
Seen from a holistic and truly scientific perspective, the above assumption is critically flawed. I have frequently made the argument that cancer is one of the body’s final healing attempts to return to a balanced condition (homeostasis), and this new research clearly illustrates cancer constitutes one the body’s most highly evolved and sophisticated protective mechanisms.
The study found that therapies–which shrink cancer by cutting off tumors’ blood supply–may be inadvertently making tumors more aggressive and likely to spread. Said differently, to help prevent a cancer from getting out of control and invading other parts of the body, the body tenaciously and purposefully grows extra blood vessels. Why would the body do such a thing, you might ask?
Well, all cancer cells are normal cells that have turned anaerobic, meaning that they are so oxygen-deprived (due to congestion-caused oxygen deficiency) that they must mutate in order to survive and produce energy without having to use oxygen. To increase the oxygen supply to these congested cells and to support the action by pericytes’ to prevent cancer progression and metastasis, the body needs to grow new blood vessels. Thus, the currently applied medical approach of destroying these blood vessels is therefore counterproductive and must be considered dangerous. It destroys the very system the body uses to make sure a particular cancerous tumor remains an isolated and curable event and does not escalate into a widespread, uncontrollable, and self-perpetuating disease process.
To make this very clear, cancer drugs don’t just destroy cancer cells but also cancer-protective cells and blood vessels transporting oxygen to both cancer cells and normal cells. Ionizing radiation and cancer drugs are outright carcinogenic, and thus, they can cause new cancer cells to develop almost anywhere in the body.
Controlling Tumor Growth Makes Cancer Spread More
There is no doubt that chemotherapy drugs, angiogenic drugs, or radiation therapy can achieve significant tumor regression, but not without paying the hefty price of producing a multitude of new cancers. Besides the billions of corpses of dead cancer cells and pericytes this biological genocide leaves behind, there are also billions of inflamed or otherwise damaged cells and blood vessels that greatly increase the chances of developing any number of new, aggressive, deadly cancers.
