WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON?
It all began in 1971 when President Richard Nixon hoped to divert America’s attention away from the unpopular Vietnam War by signing the new National Cancer Act into law. He predicted that the “War Against Cancer” would find the cure within a decade, and Congress made plans to celebrate.
CANCER BARONS AS WAR GENERALS
Directing America’s official war against cancer were wealthy, influential industry leaders whose companies manufactured products and chemicals later revealed to cause cancer and damage the environment. Their chief interest in funding cancer research was to “make cancer less deadly”, not to prevent or cure the disease. Instead, they were fixated on damage control: profitable cancer screenings, surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy drug treatments.
Now, 40 years later, a number of industries continue to produce cancer-causing chemicals and products. Incredibly, some companies cash in twice by also manufacturing toxic cancer drugs or radiation equipment sold for conventional treatments and screenings.
What a business plan – Cause cancer, then treat cancer! “ A circle of profit from cancer,” says Dr. Joseph Mercola.
Self-proclaimed cancer experts and drug companies have, for decades, dictated the trickle of information released through the mainsteam media to the public. Major cancer foundations and research hospitals all have powerful representatives of drug and chemical manufacturing companies in prominent positions on their Board of Directors. These Cancer Barons control millions of dollars funding the foundations and for cancer research grants, so there is a huge conflict of interest about revealing too much science regarding causes of cancer or prevention to the public.
POWERFUL GRIP
Cancer Barons hold a powerful grip on the way cancer is treated in North America. “Drug companies dictate what is taught in medical schools and what is published in medical journals,” says James Howenstine, M.D. To protect their profits, these War Generals are especially hostile toward alternative, natural cancer therapies, and attack them as “unproven” or “quackery” even though more than 100 natural cures have been used successfully by European oncologists for more than 60 years.
MANAGE, NOT CURE CANCER
Popular entertainers lend their support to help raise money to fund researchers to find a “miracle drug” to cure cancer. Yet, a major drug company that sponsors annual cancer fundraising events quietly changed their research plan in 1995: “The company was one of the first pharmaceutical firms that approached cancer, not as a disease ultimately to be cured, but as a chronic disease with which patients could learn to live. The direction of cancer research changed within the pharmaceutical industry as a whole, and many companies followed their lead,” reports www.fundinguniverse.com.
For the past 16 years, millions of dollars have been directed for “novel, innovative drugs” – actually bizarre treatments to manage or control cancer, not to cure it. A typical cancer research study was published online at ScienceDaily Health, August 2010 that said, “Researchers are studying venom from the Deathstalker scorpion to slow brain cancer.” It is not about finding a cure!
TEN MILLION LIVES LOST
After 40 years and more than $two trillion from taxpayer funding for research, the incidence of cancer has continued to escalate at an alarming rate. Ten million men, women, and children have lost their lives to killer cancer. The most troubling are increased rates of childhood cancers.
It’s tragic that by the time parents notice symptoms and a doctor diagnoses the disease, 80% of children have a deadly malignancy that has already spread to other parts of their bodies. Most of these children will die. It is a devastating loss to families and to society.
CHILDREN SHOULD BE A PRIORITY
The leading federal agency and cancer societies take in billions of dollars every year in donations, yet the latest data indicates that less than 3% goes for pediatric cancer research, and only 2% is directed toward prevention. Drastic reductions in government funding continue to impact research for critically ill children battling the world’s deadliest disease, but cancer won’t wait for the economy to improve.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Although the War Against Cancer has been a colossal failure, there is hope. You can make a significant difference in the lives of very sick girls and boys battling cancer by donating today to Children Against Cancer. Every dollar counts! We want babies, children, and teens to be treated as a top priority in the war against cancer.
