I know it can be daunting to have to hold onto more than one concept at a
time, Jan, but motor vehicles kill and maim more people than chemotherapy,
without curing, or improving the duration or quality of survival of a single
cancer patient.

It's another of those pesky cost/risk/benefit things. The evils of
chemotherapy have to be looked at in the context of a cruel and lethal
illness for which there is often no other useful treatment. It's
complicated further by having to consider many different kinds of cancer
with varying responsiveness to chemotherapy, and whether the treatment is
intended to be an adjunct to other treatments, curative, or palliative.

I have freely admitted here many times that chemotherapy is often used in
contexts where it is not likely to help, and that it sometimes does more
harm than good. The imperfections of everyday medical practice say
nothing about the basic soundness of conventional approaches to the
treatment of cancer inclusive of chemotherapy, just as they don't make any
"alternative" treatment work better.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to try and clarify things.

A little. Perhaps the most common relatively high dose use of chemotherapy
would be that of metastatic breast cancer. The treatment-related mortality
for this in one large study was 2 out of 412 patients, giving a death rate
of about 0.5%.
See
Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2003;(1):CD003142.

Have you examined this material? What do you think about the inclusion of
over a million bedsores as a medically-inflicted cause of death? Might not
the ailment that caused the patient to be bedridden bear some responsibility
for the death?

Unnecessary deaths and other adverse medical events are an admitted problem,
but if this is to have any perspective relevant to alternative medicine it
should be noted that people don't get exposed to the risks of conventional
medicine unless they are ill, and often seriously so, in the first place.
Alternative medicine only looks safer because it is not expected to deal
with the same spectrum of illness, and uses treatments that mostly don't do
anything much.

~ 800,000 is the total number of deaths caused by conventional
medicine per year.
Motor vehicle deaths in 2005 = 43,443, thus, it seems that medical
system kills 18.4 times as many as motor vehicles.

IF the Medical Industry can not prevent such common damage, how

could anyone actually believe it could 'treat' of 'cure' anything else?

The material is easy to. examine. The responsibility is clear.


The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths
caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now
evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and
injury in the US. (By contrast, the number of deaths attributable to heart
disease in 2001 was 699,697, while the number of deaths attributable to
cancer was 553,251.5)

What a newsflash!

There would be no need for alternative medicine if conventional worked.

Clearly is does not.

It KILLS!
