text: top doctors chemotherapy one of dozens of procedures shown to give no benefit 
  thursday october   by vicki batts tags cancer  chemotherapy  ineffective medicine naturalnews chemotherapy is arguably one of the medical industrys biggest frauds  perhaps thats why it recently landed on a list of ineffectual treatments drawn up by the academy of medical royal colleges amrcthe list was created by  top specialists who were each asked to think of five treatments they felt provided little to no patient benefits and surprise surprise  chemotherapy was one of them doctors from the amrc said that chemotherapy cannot cure terminal cancer and may bring unneeded distress in the final months of life the guardian reportedthe treatment is by its very nature toxic the college said therefore the combination of failing to achieve a response and causing toxicity can do more harm than gooddo more harm than good you dont sayresearch has shown that in some hospitals up to  percent of cancer patients are dying not from their disease but from chemotherapy drugs for the first time ever researchers actually looked at the numbers of patients who were dying within  days of chemotherapy administration  which could indicate that the treatment was the cause of death rather than the cancer what they found was horrifyingthe study which was conducted by public health england and cancer research uk found that the average day mortality rate across england was about  percent for lung cancer and  percent for breast cancer but in some hospitals those numbers were much higher for example at lancashire teaching hospitals the  day mortality rate for palliative chemotherapy for lung cancer was  percent in milton keynes the death rate for lung cancer treatment soared up to  percentthe research revealed that the death rate for lung cancer patients was higher than average in several areas including blackpool coventry derby south tyneside surrey and sussexthe data also revealed that about in people who underwent palliative care for breast cancer at cambridge university hospitals died because of chemotherapy treatmentof course the industry was quick to defend their practices with doctors suggesting that these occurrences could simply be the outcome of data problems noting that even a few deaths could skew statisticshowever no one really argued with the fact that chemotherapy is indeed a toxin it doesnt discriminate it kills cancerous cells and healthy cells  and therein lies the rub it may kill the cancer but not without increasing your risks of getting cancer again in the futurea  study also found that cytotoxic chemotherapy does very little towards enhancing cancer survivors year survival rates the research which was led by scientists from the department of radiation oncology at the northern sydney cancer centre of the royal north shore hospital located in sydney australia raised serious questions about the actual efficacy of curative and adjuvant chemotherapieswhat they found was that in australia chemo only contributed  percent to the year survival rate in adults and in the us that number dropped to  percent these findings suggest that overall chemotherapy truly provides very little benefit to any patients survival in their conclusion the study authors wrote as the year relative survival rate for cancer in australia is now over  it is clear that cytotoxic chemotherapy only makes a minor contribution to cancer survival to justify the continued funding and availability of drugs used in cytotoxic chemotherapy a rigorous evaluation of the costeffectiveness and impact on quality of life is urgently requiredthe amrc urges doctors and patients to question whether or not particular treatments are necessary after all unwarranted and harmful treatments are truly anything but medicine  sources
