My mother has had cancer twice. My father: twice. My sister: four or five times. My brother: once. My mother's mother died during treatment for cancer. At least three of my mother's sisters have had cancer. I took care of my sister after her first mastectomy.

They do pump cancer patients full of poison. The patients know it. The doctors know it. Maybe I am a little too deep in the weeds here, but I am astonished this assertion is being questioned at all.




I think the gp just doesn't like this liberal usage of the word "poison".

Most medication is "poison" to people who are otherwise healthy. NSAIDs are bad for the stomach, pills for insomnia will make you fat, narcotics will make you fall asleep, epinephrine can stop your heart. We take them because their ill effects aren't as bad as the good they produce.

Cancer chemotherapy is mostly unique because it produces a lot of suffering to someone who appears to be quite healthy. There are other medicines with horrible side effects, but you'll usually have to be obviously sick with something like malaria in order to be treated with one of those.


it goes deeper than that because of the way our bodies metabolize chemicals we often have to pump poisons in to kill something at far greater toxic levels than to kill that thing if it was outside our bodies
