Study finds Chemo kills 50% of patients in the first 30 days

Since chemotherapy was accidentally discovered in the 1940’s (during World War II, they found that people exposed to nitrogen mustard developed significantly reduced white blood cell counts and this led researchers to investigate whether mustard agents could be used to halt the growth of rapidly dividing cells such as cancer cells) it’s been hailed as the only viable treatment for cancer. Thankfully, a new study is showing what those of us in the natural health community have been saying for decades- chemo is actually a killer.

A new study, published in the September issue of the journal Lancet, showed that 50% of all cancer patients who receive chemo treatments die within 30 days from the treatment, not the cancer.

I hope this grabs people’s attention.

Truth Kings reports the study concluded:

“Between Jan 1, and Dec, 31, 2014, we included 23,228 patients with breast cancer and 9634 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in our regression and trust-level analyses. 30-day mortality increased with age for both patients with breast cancer and patients with NSCLC treated with curative intent and decreased with age for patients receiving palliative SACT.

Researchers found there were several factors which affected the risk of early mortality in breast and lung cancer patients in England and that some groups were at an even higher risk of death in the first 30 days- including older people and those in poorer health.
