The Changing Landscape of Cancer

 

 Cancer and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

'The truth is out about cancer. Recent research published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology shows that a third of survivors of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma experience PTSD. Now that’s just the survivors. Imagine if they counted the people who did not survive. Regardless, 37 percent of those still living reported that their PTSD symptoms persisted or even got worse after a 5-year period. What this means, and what oncologists ignore, is that emotions matter in medicine and they certainly matter when it comes to treating cancer patients.'

Medical Treatment Makes Cancer More Aggressive: Modern Science Sees Truth—And Turns Away From It

 The Myth That Shrinking Tumors Equates With Healing

 

'Shrinking tumors has been oncologists' primary goal. Patients are given exciting reports on shrinkage, leaving them to believe that they're being healed. In most cases, though, it's never been anything but a cruel hoax. In exchange for that shrinkage, they suffer enormous misery.

After being subjected to such trauma, can you imagine learning a few months later that your cancer has returned and is more aggressive than ever? That is exactly what happens in most cases. The author starts the paper with:

Cancers of epithelial origin account for 90% of cancer deaths worldwide. Their behavior has been compared to an uncontrolled wound healing process for over a century.

It's been known for more than a century that the behavior of tumors responsible for the vast majority of cancer deaths is like a healing process! But, instead of asking, "What is the tumor trying to heal?" doctors and researchers have tried to stop that healing process. The dismal results of cancer treatment shouldn't be surprising. Rather than trying to understand why a tumor exists, they've been trying to destroy them— fighting the body's natural healing process.'
