Whoops! Study Accidentally Finds Chemotherapy Makes Cancer Far Worse
A
team of researchers looking into why cancer cells are so resilient
accidentally stumbled upon a far more important discovery. While
conducting their research, the team discovered that chemotherapy
actually heavily damages healthy cells and subsequently triggers them to
release a protein that sustains and fuels tumor growth. Beyond that, it even makes the tumor highly resistant to future treatment.
Reporting their findings in the journal Nature Medicine, the
scientists report that the findings were ‘completely unexpected’.
Finding evidence of significant DNA damage when examining the effects of
chemotherapy on tissue derived from men with prostate cancer, the
writings are a big slap in the face to mainstream medical organizations
who have been pushing chemotherapy as the only option to cancer patients
for years.
The news comes after it was previously ousted by similarly-breaking
research that expensive cancer drugs not only fail to treat tumors, but
actually make them far worse. The cancer drugs were found to make tumors
‘metastasize’ and grow massively in size after consumption. As a
result, the drugs killed the patients more quickly.
Known as WNT16B, scientists who performed the research say that this
protein created from chemo treatment boosts cancer cell survival and is
the reason that chemotherapy actually ends lives more quickly. Co-author
Peter Nelson of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in
Seattle explains:
consistently been found to effectively shrink tumors and combat the
spread of cancer. In a review of 11 studies, it was found that turmeric
use reduced brain tumor size by a shocking 81%. Further research has
also shown that turmeric is capable of halting cancer cell growth
altogether. One woman recently hit the mainstream headlines by revealing
her victory against cancer with the principal spice used being
turmeric.
This accidental finding reached by scientists further shows the lack
of real science behind many ‘old paradigm’ treatments, despite what many
health officials would like you to believe. The truth of the matter is
that natural alternatives do not even receive nearly as much funding as
pharmaceutical drugs and medical interventions because there’s simply no
room for profit. If everyone was using turmeric and vitamin D for
cancer (better yet cancer prevention), major drug companies would lose
out.

“WNT16B, when secreted, would interact with nearby tumourThe team then complimented the statement with a word of their own:
cells and cause them to grow, invade, and importantly, resist
subsequent therapy.”
“Our results indicate that damage responses in benign cells… may directly contribute to enhanced tumour growth kinetics.”Meanwhile, dirt cheap substances like turmeric and ginger have
consistently been found to effectively shrink tumors and combat the
spread of cancer. In a review of 11 studies, it was found that turmeric
