The world lost a true visionary yesterday with the passing of Steve Jobs, former CEO of Apple. I remember back in the late 80’s when I was a young computer programmer/designer fresh out of grad school using the (Apple) MacIntosh computer for the very first time.
The MacIntosh user interface was so intuitive and such a leap ahead of the predominant Microsoft DOS operating system (remember? type commands at the green screen prompt) that I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
This new and emerging user interface in the 1980s that is taken for granted today rocketed the task of computer design light years ahead and allowed the development of computer systems to at last be something users could be involved in and easily understand.
There is no doubt that Steve Jobs’ passing at 56 years old was premature. He had much more to contribute to the world and I for one feel the world has been cheated now that he is gone.
Pictures of him in his final days showed a frail, shockingly thin frame consistent with a person who had undergone chemotherapy treatments for cancer.
While every single detail of Mr. Jobs’ cancer treatments over the years are not publicly known, one can’t help but wonder if his chemotherapy and radiation treatments contributed to his demise.
Just a few weeks ago, Kara Kennedy, daughter of the late Senator Edward Kennedy died at age 51 from a heart attack. Her brother, Patrick Kennedy said that her many years of chemotherapy to treat lung cancer took a severe toll on her health and weakened her physically to the point where “her heart just gave out.”
Is Conventional Treatment for Cancer Worse Than the Disease?
It seems that chemotherapy/radiation treatments causing death rather than preserving life are becoming more common.
Radiation in particular ups the risk of heart problems in women undergoing conventional treatment for breast cancer. The May 2000 issue of The Lancet reported that women who had undergone radiation for breast cancer increased their odds of dying from other causes, usually heart related, by 21% compared with women who had not undergone radiation with the 20 year survival rate for breast cancer improving by only 1%.
Does that seem worth it to you? It sure doesn’t to me.
Chemotherapy is another conventional treatment for cancer that seems to hasten people’s death. The National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death in the UK reported that its review of 600 cancer patients who died within 30 days of treatment revealed that over one quarter had in fact been killed by the chemo and not cancer.
The extreme toxicity of chemo treatments is what causes the rapid demise, usually infections such as the very serious neutropenic sepsis.
In the case of Mr. Jobs, this appears to be what happened. According to reports from multiple sources, he had received chemotherapy treatments in recent months at the Stanford Cancer Center in Palo Alto California and his devastating physical deterioration from these treatments almost certainly contributed to his quick passing.
Would You Ever Use Chemo or Radiation to Treat Cancer?
If you received a cancer diagnosis, would you ever agree to chemotherapy or radiation treatments or would you explore nontoxic alternative therapies?
I, for one, would not consider conventional cancer treatment as such an approach to disease seems more than a little misguided. How can use of toxic chemicals and/or radiation possibly be beneficial when both of these treatments actually have been shown to cause cancer in the long run?
It seems that a more holistic approach to cancer would be wiser than the slash and burn approach of conventional cancer treatments.
In his article A Holistic Approach To Cancer, Dr. Tom Cowan MD writes:
“… the job of the doctor is to distinguish between the therapy and the illness. What I mean by that is if you get a splinter in your finger, and then your body makes pus to get the splinter out, is the pus the therapy or the disease? We know that pus indicates infection and the presence of microorganisms, and we learned in medical school that doctors should kill the pus. But I don’t think it is that far of a stretch to see that if you have a splinter in your finger, the pus is the therapy for the splinter. If you don’t take the splinter out, the pus will do it for you. If you mistakenly think that the pus is the disease and you destroy the pus, the splinter will stay and your body will attempt this process again. If you destroy the pus again, your body might repeat this process three or four more times. Then you have a chronic infection as the body keeps trying to remove the splinter. Eventually it will either succeed, or it will encapsulate the splinter, which is a tumor, a new growth. It is not a cancerous tumor but a benign cystic tumor of the splinter. The understanding that the pus is the therapy allows you to predict what is going to happen in the future.
Now think of this example. Joe Bloke is a smoker. In other words, he puts a bunch of splinters in his lungs every day. Twice a year Joe gets cough, fever, mucus–all to get the splinters out of his lungs. I prefer to say “cough, fever, mucus” rather than “bronchitis” because the word “bronchitis” separates you from the reality of the situation. His body is producing an inflammatory response–it is making a mucus-pus-fever response to cleanse his lungs of splinters. If Joe goes to a doctor who makes the mistake of thinking that the response is the problem, he will give drugs to stop the bronchitis–which is actually the medicine. So Joe will be left with the splinters. That scenario will happen twice a year for thirty years and then Joe has a big bag of splinters in his lungs, and we call that lung cancer.”
Holistic approaches to cancer help resolve whatever caused the cancer in the first place. Conventional chemo/radiation treat only the “pus” of the cancer as described by Dr. Cowan.
Stopping cancer symptoms by “killing” the cancer cells with chemo or radiation is not in any way a cure as Mr. Jobs tragically discovered in his long running quest to regain his health.

Nevermind all these false programmed sheeple. Dr’s are NOT smarter than you!!!!! They studied and were brainwashed by the drug companies who write the very text books they studied. Should be all too obvious what takes place. A multibillion $ per year industry writes medical text books….Hmmm.. Nah, they are too ethical to push their agenda and call it “medicine”. That isn’t to say all Dr’s are bad. Nope! Most are well intentioned….just brainwashed. We just have the fun of realizing that we live in a time where the TRUTH is being revealed but being regarded as evil. It’s that simple. When we become able to THINK for ourselves, which is to say, stop a certain belief because of how we FEEL about it, the truth is much more clear and obtainable. Ok….research this and use your brain: WHY does both the big drug companies as well as the U.S. Govt hold patents for CANNABIS CANCER CURES????????????? Hint: Because they KNOW it does!!!!!!!!! But, sick dying people make them money. People curing themselves naturally chops them profits to next to nothing. Can’t have that now can they?? What you nay sayers ought to be doing is practice what you preach. STUDY before opening mouth. You studied the “medical” side….now study the so called snake oil hooey side before you speak….coz it is YOU folks who are so blinded by your arrogance. That Cannabis Cure train is coming and you can’t stop it. Yes Yes 100 times Yes… Yes you braindeads will choose to argue with your lack of knowledge. Fine. Great. (You will fail to suck this NONsheeple into ignorant debate). But if you give some time to look into REAL SCIENCE, that fog will be lifted. Dr Sanjay Gupta is a highly respected Dr, worldwide. He set out to put an end to the Cannabis Cure Nonsense. He did the study and REAL experimenting…. The TRUTH set he and his team free…. Now it’s your turn.
PS.. I bet most of you nay sayers have no idea HOW/WHY Cannabis came to be illegal here in the first place!! Since you don’t even know that much, why doncha stay off here, where you prove how little you know, and study!! Do that for real and you will never again call it snake oil, etc. 🙂
The write up author was not condemning. I was! Ask me if I care.
This a very true and helpful write up.

I know this is an old post, but I just wanted to comment on Dr. Cowan’s position on chemotherapy. My husband is currently a patient of Dr. Cowan’s, and in my husband’s particular situation, Dr. Cowan recommended that he proceed with chemotherapy, combined, of course, with a complete nutrition plan and numerous supplements. The specific type of cancer, stage and overall health of the individual all play a role in whether chemotherapy risks can outweigh the benefits or vice versa.

My Friend’s Stage IV breast cancer and MS has just been cured with the high Quality CBD oil gotten from drdonaldhealthcare. Cannabis oil is such a great medication.
To hell with the government and their insane policy, Dr Donald have a medication that is hundred percent assured to cure cancer and you don’t need to spend so much money anymore on chemo, radiation or surgeries that wouldn’t just work.
Cannabis oil is full of CBD and cannaboids which are healing and repairing components..they help immune system as well as pain..THC works in the blood stream helps kill cancer cells and stunts growth of tumors.
My Friend,s Family is now a brand new one, so stop your worries and go get your medication and set the family free of the deadly disease that hold no respect to family harmony. This also works on seizures, chronic pains, e.t.c
Make your health a better one by using CBD oil in your everyday life.
contact Dr Donald for all type of cancer Cure.
thanks to Dr Donald

NO! I would never get conventional cancer treatment…I have seen several friends and relatives murdered by Oncologists and their doctors. One lasted 6 weeks upon beginning chemo-she was young and HEALTHY prior with a minor cough, after 3 weeks of “Aggressive” chemo, she was yellow, wasted to less than 100 lbs and dying…3 WEEKS! This would NOT have happened without med. intervention. She spent the last 6 weeks of her life in agony from her “treatments”-most of that in the hospital. Her insurance ran out and so did her life…I have spent so much time trying to educate others; the ones that don’t listen are the ones that really tear me up, because I know where they are headed….Chemo is poison and will kill you faster than cancer ever could.

Aimee, I totally agree. When my husband had colon cancer, which had spread to his liver, there was GREAT pressure by his oncologist to have chemo. When my husband and I refused chemo, the oncologist sent a pharmacist to see him when he was in the hospital. The pharmacist explained about the chemo and said his mother had chemo. The pharmacist’s mother died, but he still recommended the chemo. 3 months after my husband’s surgery, the oncologist insisted we see a nurse in his office. More pressure for him to have chemo. My husband kept losing blood and had to have iron infusions as well as blood transfusions. The chemo drug’s number 1 side effect was blood loss. What kind of moron would recommend a drug that would cause blood loss when the patient was already losing blood? A money-hungry one was our guess. My husband died less than 35 days after seeing the oncology nurse. I seriously doubt the chemo would have done anything but cause him great agony. I have seen too many people go through chemo at a great price physically and emotionally, only to have that chemo not work, THEN watch the doctor recommend even more chemo–and then see those people die shortly thereafter. When will this greed and torment stop? I agree with you wholeheartedly. Chemo is poison. And it is medically approved. Sad, very sad.

NEVER!
The radiation and chemo is what kiled my mother, not the cancer
Marek
I wonder how many will die because of this irresponsible article. Chemotherapy saves lives!!!
Roly
well, then keep wondering, while I wonder how many will have to die BECAUSE OF chemo and radiation. You only have to watch The Cancer Conspiracy documentary and you will stop wondering. If you have any brains you will use the Gerson Diet instead, 100% recovery rate. Can’t see how chemo and radiation are supposed to beat that… ???
Roly
Oh, I almost forgot, I hate to break it to you but I assume you had no clue, living in your dark cave, that chemo actually INCREASES cancer growth, so stop promoting it to others, you are killing them. If still in doubt go educate yourself, it’s never too late.
