FTC Wants Bogus Cancer Cures out of the Internet

FTC Wants Bogus Cancer Cures out of the Internet

People who suffer from cancer should forget about the miraculous cures promised on hundreds of Internet pages or should inform authorities about companies selling them. At least, this is the latest message of the Federal Trade Commission which is desperately trying to make people more aware of the fact that there is no scientific evidence that these cures actually work. And still there are millions of people who put their trust in them hoping for a miracle not even knowing that these cures might have side effects that might interfere with the drugs already prescribed.

A popular expression in one area of the alternative medical treatment of cancer is this; "All cancer is the result of an immune system that didn't destroy mutant cells" Obviously, cancer cells are foreign to the body. The immune system of a healthy person destroys "10,000" mutated (cancer) cells every day. When this defense ceases, the cancer can multiply and become a clinical case of cancer.

An AMAS test measures the level of this normal activity by measuring the waste products of the action of the immune system against these cancer cells as this waste is found and measured in the blood serum.

Conventional medical practice knows that their treatments of chemotherapy and radiation are devastating to the already weakened immune system, but they have very little in their black bag of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy to deal with the problem. The chemotherapy agents that were used on me actually cause cancer. It says so right on the label. Conventional medicine makes the best trade off that they can with what they have, so they damage the body in their attempt to damage the cancer cells.

Sometimes this system works and a patient recovers and lives, cancer free, for a long time. Usually, the cancer will recur in five or six years and then conventional medicine has nothing to do but to try to make the patient comfortable and to extend the patient's life as long as they can. They can not effectively treat recurrent cancer.

Now, suppose that instead of damaging the body's only defense against cancer with chemicals and radiation, we focus on strengthening the immune system so it will do it's job? This is exactly what a large segment of alternative cancer treatment does.

First, we must identify the cause of the distress to the immune system. Sadly, it is no secret. The biggest cause is in the way that we eat. We destroy the enzymes in our food by cooking. The pancreas can double it's size in trying to keep up with the demand and then it quits in exhaustion, severely compromising our immune system and establishing a climate that is vulnerable to the formation of a clinical case of cancer.
