Alternative Cancer Treatments Pt 6

More on Treating the Symptoms of Cancer.

Dr. Philip Binzel, a M.D.A medical doctor who used alternative cancer treatments, discussed several key issues relative to the treatment of the symptoms of cancer.

Let us look at one of his quotes:


"When a patient is found to have a tumor, the only thing the doctor discusses with that patient is what he intends to do about the tumor.

If a patient with a tumor is receiving radiation or chemotherapy, the only question that is asked is,

"How is the tumor doing?"

No one ever asks how the patient is doing.

In my medical training, I remember well seeing patients who were getting radiation and/or chemotherapy.

The tumor would get smaller and smaller, but the patient would be getting sicker and sicker.

At autopsy we would hear, "Isn't that marvelous! The tumor is gone!"

Yes, it was, but so was the patient.

How many millions of times are we going to have to repeat these scenarios before we realize that we are treating the wrong thing?


In primary cancer, with only a few exceptions, the tumor is neither health-endangering nor life-threatening.

I am going to repeat that statement.

In primary cancer, with few exceptions, the tumor is neither health-endangering nor life-threatening.

What is health-endangering and life-threatening is the spread of that disease through the rest of the body.

There is nothing in surgery that will prevent the spread of cancer.

There is nothing in radiation that will prevent the spread of the disease.

There is nothing in chemotherapy that will prevent the spread of the disease.

How do we know? Just look at the statistics!

There is a statistic known as "survival time."

Survival time is defined as that interval of time between when the diagnosis of cancer is first made in a given patient and when that patient dies from his disease.


In the past fifty years, tremendous progress has been made in the early diagnosis of cancer.

In that period of time, tremendous progress had been made in the surgical ability to remove tumors.

Tremendous progress has been made in the use of radiation and chemotherapy in their ability to shrink or destroy tumors.

But, the survival time of the cancer patient today is no greater than it was fifty years ago.

What does this mean?

It obviously means that we are treating the wrong thing!


We are treating the symptom the tumor, and we are doing absolutely nothing to prevent the spread of the disease.

The only thing known to mankind today that will prevent the spread of cancer within the body is for that body's own defense mechanisms to once again function normally.

That's what nutritional therapy does.

It treats the defense mechanism, not the tumor.


The woman with a lump in her breast is not going to die from that lump.

The man with a nodule in his prostate gland is not going to die from that nodule.

What may kill both of those people is the spread of that disease through the rest of their bodies.

They got their disease because of a breakdown of their defense mechanisms.


The only thing that is going to prevent the spread of their disease is to correct the problem in those defense mechanisms.

Doesn't it seem logical then, that we should be a lot less concerned with

"What are we going to do about the tumor?"

"And a lot more concerned about what we are going to do about their defense mechanisms?"
