Doctor claims that current Breast Cancer Treatment is Barbaric & Brutal

joefromireland

I saw this video and article this morning in which Dr McDougall explains why he thinks that Breast Cancer Treatment is Barbaric & Brutal.

What do you think?

The first randomized controlled trial comparing treatments, published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 1989, titled "Eight-year results of a randomized clinical trial comparing total mastectomy and lumpectomy with or without irradiation in the treatment of breast cancer," showed no survival benefits regardless of the aggressiveness of surgery. They found that there was no significant difference in the rates of distant-disease-free survival among the women who underwent lumpectomy (with or without irradiation), despite the greater incidence of recurrence of tumor in the ipsilateral (same) breast in those who received no radiation. A 25-year follow up confirmed these conclusions.

The male-dominated medical business seems unstoppable with respect to changing their professional behaviour toward women, regardless of more than a half-century of conclusive, consistent scientific evidence, incriminating, beyond argument, their misdeeds. To summarize, so that you can have some control over your future: You must save yourself by becoming well-informed; do not depend exclusively on those in the medical businesses to make your choices.

Hmmm something sounds fishy

John A. McDougall (born May 17, 1947) is an American physician and author who has written that degenerative disease can be prevented and treated with a low-fat, whole foods, plant-based vegan diet—especially one based on starches which excludes animal foods and added vegetable oils.

Yeah hes a fvcking quack.

OP by any chance are you a member of any facebook antivax groups? Would that be where you found this video and article by any chance?

Damn you you've done it again! Saving women's lives by cutting off their breast. How barbaric and sexist.

Another kale quack who thinks eating a fist full of leaves is better that actual medicine and science.

Breast cancer is one of the most survivable cancers you can get. Cancer treatment is never nice (my mother did chemo for breast cancer 10 years ago), but it works for the most part. No doubt it can be improved upon, medicine is always refining itself, but it gives you the best chance of staying alive.

If medicine works why are so many people on so many medicines for life, if the medicines really worked then you would take your medicine for a few weeks and then you would be cured.
Just as many people are fooled by politicians, many people are fooled by big business who sell us carefully crafted processed food that has range of flavours and an unnatural combination of salt, sugar and fat not found in any natural food,these carefully tried and proven recipes are formulated for long shelf life and also to get repeat purchases by convincing the brain that this is the ideal food with plenty of calories for you to eat, one bite and the correct combination of salt, sugar & fat and the brain is convinced that the processed food is better than the whole plant food that we have eaten for 1000 of years and then we have doctors who should know better telling us we can continue to eat the foods that caused the problems in the first place as long as we go back to them every month for a lifetime supply of pills.

You know the way chore sex guy and badabing also have this fixation with delving into the whole "were we happier as hunter gatherers" shtick, and the former has this pattern where he links a youtube video of some talk to really substantiate some insane theory?

Just sayin'...

In years to come we will be injected with nanobots at birth. They will monitor and kill all disease at source. So no more pills, no more quacks

Up until as recently as 1900 the average world life expectancy was 30ish. Now that we're all eating processed foods, sugar and trans fat life expectancy is mid 70s. Ergo processed foods make you live longer. It's pretty obvious really.

Are kebabs part of this food as medicine? If they are I'm going to live forever.

My wife underwent treatment for breast cancer and her surgeon and her oncologist were female. She had surgery, chemo, radiation therapy, bio therapy and hormone therapy and is out the other side looking ten years younger.
