The Controversial Opinion Thread

Alrighty.

I view chemotherapy as one of the greatest and most successful money-making jokes in history.

Chemo has no value whatsoever?

I had a professor who said that in the future, people will look back on how we use Chemo like how we look back at medieval physicians bleeding folk with leaches

it has value
it gets a job done.....
but it is a horrible way to do it

I totally agree with you. I researched the Cancer industry and it is super corrupt and nothing but about making money. There is no money making for using natural remedies, but there's a ton of money in dangerous life killing methods like chemo.

Just do your own research on what Big Pharma does to Doctors who don't "fall into line" and use only their methods of treatment.

Chemo only seems to be somewhat successful. I have known five people with cancer. Two of the ones who used chemo were sick until they died. The third is currently on chemo and honestly minus a miracle I don't see them lasting until new year. Another used chemo and not only lived but seems healthier than they ever were before. The fifth person is not on chemo but some experimental drugs and seems to be gaining ground.

There is one cancer that does relatively well in beinh treated with chemotherapy. I can't remember if it's Hodgkins Lymphoma or Non-Hodgkins. I want to say it's Hodgkin's Lymphoma. So in that case I have no problem saying it does okay. But one can do better.

Other than that, no. In my humble opinion.

My grandma had stage-3 lung cancer and it was spreading. She went to Florida and started a chemo treatment and is in full remission. We were all scared she wouldn't survive the chemo, but she did. One tough lady she is. But maybe it was Florida

I only know people who are now dead because of chemotherapy. Now, granted, had they done no treatment at all they more likely than not would have succumbed to their cancer at some point, although their quality of life would have been better. The majority of these deaths were horrible. The latest was my uncle. He adamantly refused to do anything natural but only 'what the doctor says' (Okay, fine. That's his choice.) and go ahead with some new experimental chemo pill. ...He's dead now. And was in agony the entire time as direct result of the chemo and not the cancer itself. This was proven.

Like thousands and thousands before him, his death certificate will say that he died from cancer. But in reality, he succumbed to the treatment. ...I'm sorry, are these the dark ages? I consider chemo as successful and beneficial as 'bleeding' the patient was back in the day.

*Everyone has a right to choose whatever method they wish in treating their cancer. It's no skin off my nose what they do. But chemotherapy is first and foremost a money-maker. Cancer is big business.

 

[Saucy]

Yeah it's such a tough decision. Maybe easier for you haha, but if there's a chance you can live, but be in pain, people will choose that because not getting treatment means the chance of death is higher, right? Do you know people who tried the natural way and survived?

Smart man.

If its job is quickening one's death and very painfully, then yes...it 'gets the job done'.

 

[Saucy]

By the way, not doubting what you're saying at all...just very interested in the potential of naturalistic cures. There must be a way we can prevent cancer if that was the case, right?

There are many things out there found in nature. Big Pharma doesn't want people to know about them of course because it doesn't make them any money. They can't pay their Mercedes and BMW car notes on people being healthy and fit.

It's not a tough decision for me. I would never (mark my words, everyone) agree to doing chemotherapy. Never. And it's very improbable that I would agree to do radiation either. There are other options besides the chemo and radiation, so to think that is your only option is ignorant, and it's absolutely wrong for your doctor to say it is. Well, it's a mixture of that and not being taught about the other treatment options whilst in 'ye olde medical school'. Protocol. That is what they know.

And yes. I know people who chose an alternative route and survived and are currently in remission. There are success stories everywhere, they're just shushed.

 

[grandvizier1006]

With all of these chemo horror stories, I have a bad feeling that if someone in my family gets the sort of cancer that chemo "treats", they'll opt for the chemo.

On the topic of medicine, though, what about SSRIs? I've taken some in small doses, and so far it's done little, if anything.

That's great news for sure.

1) Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and Robert Kraft should be suspended indefinitely from the NFL. I don't know how many times you have to be caught cheating for the NFL to do that. In my mind, the Seattle Seahawks are the winners of Super Bowl XLIX.

2) Pete Rose should be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Yes, he bet on baseball, but he's still the all-time hits leader. In my opinion, it's guys like Barry Bonds that should be banned.

3) The NBA is a rigged league. To what degree the league is rigged, I'm not sure, but I'm convinced they already know who the NBA champion is going to be next year. Games have been obviously thrown, as well as drafts.

There basically is. That's why I mentioned the cannabis oil. It is literally that effective. I personally would risk prison by treating myself with cannabis oil should I ever get cancer. There's also the hugely successful intravenous vitamin C therapy. You can have this done at most, if not all, holistic/alternative medicine doctors' offices.

Yes! haha.

Oh I didn't even know that. I thought those with cancer smoked pot to treat the pain.

Well, that's my controversial two cents for the night. I need to head to bed. Goodnight, y'all.
