Chemotherapy backfires – causes healthy cells to feed growth of cancer tumors

In CategoryCancer, Treatments, Therapy, Recovery, Health Care
ByRuss Bianchi

Chemotherapy KILLS in the vast majority of those subjected to it.

In point of fact (documented results and mortality rates) chemo is a fraud in effectively arresting and reversing most, if not all, cancers.

Argumentation that alternatives are less effective to chemo is also Big Pharma Spin & Flat Out Lies.

I speak this truth as cancer survivor, at age 30, here today, NOT from chemo, at age 55.

Metastasization is a direct function of telomere deterioration of elimination chromosomally in each cell of the trillions in our bodies.

Telomere integrity and restoration is directly a result of correct nutrient ingestion.

Ever since chemotherapy was introduced into the practice of western medicine, doctors and oncologists have been trying to answer this nagging question: Why does chemotherapy seem to work at first, but then cancer tumors cells grow back even more aggressively while the body becomes resistant to chemotherapy?

Cuts Leave Patients With Medicaid Cards, but No Specialist to See

In CategoryTreatments, Therapy, Recovery, Health Care

As I predicted, giving patients an insurance card is no guarantee of health insurance because when the reimbursement is so low that malpractice costs exceed reimbursement, it amounts to a counterfeit card that allows Obama and the Democrats to fluff their feathers. This is happening to Medicare as well as seniors are finding it harder to find a participating physician.

Obamacare expands payments to primary care but the dilemma in this situation is now the patient needs a specialist who sees his reimbursements cut. Why don’t we cut the fees we pay to Congress?

-Dr. Lee Griffith MD

Eight-year-old Draven Smith was expelled from school last year for disruptive behavior, and he is being expelled again this year. But his mother and his pediatrician cannot find a mental health specialist to treat him because he is on Medicaid, and the program, which provides health coverage for the poor, pays doctors so little that many refuse to take its patients.
