Evidence suggests that up to 90 percent of landmark cancer research may be false

The vast majority of the published scientific literature on cancer and cancer research is inherently flawed and non-reproducible, reveals a new review published online in the journal Nature. Researchers C. Glenn Begley and Lee Ellis found that a mere 11 percent of 53 papers on cancer published in reputable, peer-reviewed journals was solid, while the other 89 percent could not be reproduced, implying that it may be false or at the very least misleading.
Preclinical studies are the basis upon which the scientific community at large determines how best to develop treatments for disease, including potential new approaches to treating cancer. But such studies, though sure to contain some minor flaws from time to time, appear to be missing the boat in major ways on a regular basis. And the end result of this intrinsic failure is a cancer treatment system that is not only outdated but potentially completely misguided.
“The scientific community assumes that the claims in a preclinical study can be taken at face value – that although there might be some errors in detail, the main message of the paper can be relied on and the data will, for the most part, stand the test of time,” wrote the authors about their findings. “Unfortunately, this is not always the case.”
Based on a review of 53 published papers on cancer, Begley and Ellis discovered that only six of them could be reproduced and confirmed in a clinical setting. And the worst part was that the 53 papers were considered to be “landmark,” which means they are generally recognized as having had a significant impact on cancer research due to presenting some new cancer treatment approach or novel therapy for targeting cancer cells.
“[I]t looks like the scientific literature is contaminated with a growing number of tainted studies, which may reach 89 percent, the results of which are not reproducible by any means,” writes Eleni Roumeliotou for GreenMedInfo.com about the shocking findings. “This means that to an extent, we have based our healthcare and clinical guidelines on fake studies that reported untruthful results in order to accommodate the interests of industrial corporations.”
Many cancer studies influenced by Big Pharma conflicts of interest
The fact of the matter is that a considerable amount of published scientific research is questionable at best due to influence from the pharmaceutical industry. A similar but unrelated study that looked at research funding found that at least 17 percent of published research papers in general were conducted with serious conflicts of interest, which more often than not stemmed from drug industry funding that steered the research in a pre-determined direction.
“Given the frequency we observed for conflicts of interest and the fact that conflicts were associated with study outcomes, I would suggest that merely disclosing conflicts is probably not enough,” says Dr. Reshma Jagsi, M.D., author of a University of Michigan (UM) study that found a considerable percentage of cancer research to be tainted by conflicts of interest. “It’s becoming increasingly clear that we need to look more at how we can disentangle cancer research from industry ties.”

FDA, FBI raid natural cancer treatment clinic in Tulsa without due cause; force patients to leave without medicine needed for survival

A medical clinic in America’s heartland that utilizes natural rather than toxic methods to treat cancer patients is under attack by the American police state oligarchy, according to new reports. As publicized by Tulsa, Okla.-based NewsOn6.com, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently sent agents to theCamelot Cancer Care center in Tulsa to conduct an unprovoked raid, upon which these agents temporarily shut down the clinic and stole medicine that had already been purchased by patients for treatment.
Camelot Cancer Care describes itself as an alternative cancer care clinic that harnesses the power of Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO), vitamin C, vitamin B12, vitamin D3, glutathione, methylglyoxal, and various other vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes in the treatment of patients with cancer. All of the clinic’s treatment methods are non-toxic – and even though it is not stated on the center’s website, these natural treatment methods far outperform the conventional model of loading cancer patients up with chemotherapy chemicals and toxic radiation for supposed “treatment.”
Even though the FDA and FBI have thus far refused to give a legitimate explanation as to why they raided Camelot around 11 a.m. on April 23, 2013, without due cause, NewsOn6.com says an insider source revealed to the station that the clinic’s alleged use of a substance known as vitamin B17, or Laetrile, was what prompted the federal government to flex its authoritarian muscles by terrorizing the clinic.
As explained in a 2011 blog posting on Camelot‘s website, vitamin B17 (Laetrile) is a natural molecule that contains the simple sugar glucose, hydrogen cyanide, and benzaldehyde. When cancer cells intake Laetrile and try to metabolize it, the cyanide and benzaldehyde kill it naturally without causing side effects. And the best part about Laetrile is that it is completely non-toxic to healthy cells, which means it is in a therapeutic class of its own.

Government thugs mindlessly obey orders to destroy safe, all-natural cancer treatments
Camelot has been safely and effectively treating patients for years, which completely debunks any alleged claims that these abusive government agencies initiated the recent raid out of concern for patient safety. The real reason for this unprovoked display of brute force by mindless government thugs is that vitamin B17 is natural, it actually works, and it is not officially approved by the FDA as a treatment for cancer.
So to stop this highly effective and far less expensive cancer treatment from gaining popularity, the pharmaceutical cartel once again called upon its taxpayer-funded police force – the FDA and FBI – to terrorize innocent Americans under the guise of protecting public health. And in the process, they stole life-saving medicines from patients that had already paid for them, including from a man named Sam Bass whose wife desperately needs Laetrile and the other medicines in order to survive.
“Listen, my wife’s dying, and we don’t want to go with chemotherapy and radiation,” said Sam Bass to reporters. “She just couldn’t tolerate the surgeries anymore, so we went natural, changed her diet. It’s a natural route that I’ve done a lot of research on.”
“My wife is dying of cancer and, for us, this was a hope and they took our hope away,” he added. “They took our rights … for me and my wife to choose how to treat her. I just want my wife to get well. I’ve got three kids at home, and they need their mom. I need my wife.”
Help support Yvonne Bass get the natural cancer treatments she needs by donating to her fundraising page
The Bass family is currently in the process of raising much-needed funds to help this beautiful mother and wife get the natural treatments she needs to fight and hopefully cure her cancer. You can view the Yvonne Bass fundraising page and help support this endeavor by visiting:
