Carrie So:  Cancer Treatment Centers of America, this is Carrie. How may I help you?
Suzy Berlinsky:  Exposure to X-rays causes radiation-sickness. How might exposing cancer sufferers to radiation-sickness improve their health?
Carrie So:  Hi Suzy.
Carrie So:  Radiation therapy for cancer treatment is a different type of radiation
Carrie So:  I can send you a link, it's from the National Cancer Institute's website
Carrie So:  it explains in more detail what radiation for cancer is
Carrie So:  
Suzy Berlinsky:  How so? The loss of hair is a hallmark of radiation-sickness.
Suzy Berlinsky:  What's the cure-rate of your organization?
Carrie So:  We have survival statistics posted on our website, they are specific by cancer type
Suzy Berlinsky:  The appeal of this site is one-on-one with someone who possesses expertise in regards to cancer. Please route my questions to an expert.
Carrie So:  I am an oncology information specialist, I am trying to help you today
Carrie So:  There isn't an answer to your question about a cure rate for our orgonization
Carrie So:  as I mentioned, you can see our survival data, by cancer type on the website
Suzy Berlinsky:  Of course there's an answer. Your large organization keeps meticulous statistics.
Carrie So:  In most cases Suzy, people want statistics that our specific to a cancer type
Carrie So:  Would that be helpful for you?
Suzy Berlinsky:  I want an overall statistic as I'm collecting data on cancer survival rates.
Carrie So:  Any data you find Suzy will be separated into cancer types
Carrie So:  Have you been to the National Cancer Institute website before?
Suzy Berlinsky:  Please connect me with an expert.
Carrie So:  I will transfer you
Christie Nelson has entered the session.
Christie Nelson:  Hello Suzy.
Suzy Berlinsky:  Do you possess statistical data?
Christie Nelson:  Yes, we do have stats comparing Cancer Treatment Centers of America outcome versus the SEER National Database.
Christie Nelson:  Have you been diagnosed with cancer, Suzy?
Jorge Borges:  What's your overall cure-rate? How many of your patients survive at least 5 years following treatment?
Christie Nelson:  We break down our statistics by cancer type. I want to make sure I am helping you in the way you want to be helped today. Are you considering making an appointment at one of our centers?
Suzy Berlinsky:  I'm shopping around. I've yet to receive a straight answer from your organization. Answer my questions please.
Christie Nelson:  We do not have a overall cure-rate. I can give you statistic's based on cancer type. What type of cancer are you researching? Then I can give you the answer.
Suzy Berlinsky:  That's not true. What's your cure-rate amongst patients with cancer seated in the lungs?
Christie Nelson:  For non small cell lung cancer
Christie Nelson:  CTCA is 22 percentage points higher than the national average in survival.
Christie Nelson:  at 1 year, CTCA is 16 percentage points higher than the national average
Christie Nelson: Suzy, may I ask, what is the name of your medical insurance so that I may be in the best position to help you?
Suzy Berlinsky:  90% of lung cancer patients die within a year of diagnosis. How long before they succumb to their illness upon completion of your course of treatment?
Christie Nelson:  That certainly is a very difficult question. That depends on so many variables. I don't have the answer for you. Ultimately you would need to come in and meet with our doctors to evaluate your options.
Suzy Berlinsky:  May I correspond with someone other than a salesman?
Christie Nelson:  I am not a salesman, Suzy. We are patient advocates here at CTCA. In order to speak with a clinicial person from our center, you would need to make an appointment. I would be glad to help you set that up.
Suzy Berlinsky:  You have yet to answer a straight-forward question. Surely you have common statistics at-the-ready.

love is a cancer
love is a cancer because
even though you feel optimistic about your prognosis
even though you still have delusions about your (im)mortality
cancer is cancer
and with cancer, there is only one way this can end

love is a cancer
because you hear the stories
you see the victims
but you always roll your eyes and say
"that'll never be me"
but it will be you
love is a cancer
and i am the patient

love is a cancer
and i met you in a support group
we commiserated over our shared illness
then overcame it together
hand in hand, we thought we were safe
but love is a cancer
and you will never be safe

love is a cancer
and cancer is cruel
as you regained your strength, i lost mine
your love is a tumor
at first it was so small
i didn't notice a difference
but with each new time you let me down
that tumor inside me grew and grew
until one day it overtook me
there was nothing we could do

love is a cancer
like all illnesses
you think it can be treated
i sat through long hours of radiation
i sat soggy from the chemo
my lips, chapped and faded
longed for your sweet kiss
even thought i felt it once-
but alas, your touch was only a dream
a side effect from my killing savior
love is a cancer
and my love, my darling-
it has metastasized

love is a cancer
and i was the patient
in just five months, i have grown
jealous, rail-thin, and prone to paranoia
a shell of who i am
who i used to be
now i am stuck here, useless and helpless
i lack the weakness to hand over my life
i lack the strength to say goodbye
five months ago, i was optimistic
since of course i am invincible
but i am not invincible
because cancer is cancer
and with cancer, there is only one way this will end

You have been connected to Christie N.
Christie N:  Cancer Treatment Centers of America, this is Christie. How may I help you?
Suzanna Berlinsky:  I've attempted to correspond with this organization and I've been cut off. Is it your job to answer questions regarding cancer?
Christie N:  HI Suzanna Berlinsky, I am sorry to hear of your experience.
Christie N:  We are a team of Patient Advocates
Christie N:  How may I be of assistance to you?
Suzanna Berlinsky:  Does that mean you are trained to answer questions concerning cancer, or are you from the sales department?
Christie N:  I am trained on cancer and cancer treatment, yes
Suzanna Berlinsky:  I do not wish to be directed, or diverted, to a web site. What is your organization's 5-year survival rate concerning cancer seated in the lungs?
Christie N:  Suzanna Berlinsky are you asking about Small Cell Lung Cancer or Non Small Cell Lung Cancer?
Suzanna Berlinsky:  I want an overall statistic on metastatic cancer in the lungs. If you cannot, or will not, provide it then please allow me to correspond with someone knowledgeable.
Christie N:  Our statistics are divided by the specific lung cancer diagnosis and represent stage 3 and 4, yes I can answer regarding both those lung cancer types.
Suzanna Berlinsky:  Then do so.
Christie N:  For advanced stage lung cancer (non small cell) 69% of CTCA patients survived for six months.
Christie N:  which means that 6 months after their diagnosis 69% of the patients in this group were still alive
Christie N:  Suzanna Berlinsky, are you dealing with cancer yourself or researching for a loved one?
Christie N:  Going back to survival stats, 44% of the patients in this group were still alive after 1 year, and 29% after 1 and a half years.
Suzanna Berlinsky:  That's par with patients who refuse treatment. Pretty dismal indeed. I asked about 5 years. What's the percentage of your patients who survive 5 years after enduring your organization's treatment?
Christie N:  At this time our statistics are representative of just over 400 patients who began their treatment at CTCA.
Christie N:  And we have not yet analyzed the results past 1 and a half years.
Christie N:  Are you researching hospitals to schedule an appointment?
Suzanna Berlinsky:  You're mistaken. Your organization deals with thousands. By the way, I will e-mail this correspondence to C.T.C.A. Your organization has oodles of stats as required by law. Need I repeat my question regarding patients who survive 5 years?
Christie N:  Yes, we do work with thousands, the statistics I was quoting were specifically patients who began their treatment at CTCA.
Suzanna Berlinsky:  I'm still waiting. Do you realize that you have not answered my question?
Christie N:  We do not include patients who began their treatment at a different hospital.
Christie N:  Yes, we do have many statistics, I only have the statistics on our website available to discuss.
Suzanna Berlinsky:  Nonsense. Your statistics on 5 yr. survival rates are a matter of record. What are they?
Christie N:  I don't have direct access to those. I am sorry that I can't answer your question directly as I can see it's very important to you. Is there another way I may of be of help this evening?
Suzanna Berlinsky:  Please connect me with a senior supervisor.
Christie N:  I am the supervisor on this evening, would you prefer to speak over the phone?
Suzanna Berlinsky:  You wrote that you don't know the public stats on 5 year survival rates for the organization which you claim to represent. How would speaking with you be of help? I would like to correspond with someone who's NOT from sales.
Christie N:  Our team is part of the intake department for the organization and helps patients and caregivers schedule appointments at our centers.
Suzanna Berlinsky:  Your page proclaims: "We're available 24/7 to discuss treatment options"
Christie N:  Yes
Suzanna Berlinsky:  How does a prospective patient (customer) go about discussing treatments options with you when you are admittedly ignorant concerning a public statistic? I request your guidance.
Christie N:  We can discuss possible options at our centers, but are in no way part of the clinical teams that our patients eventually see when they get to the hospital.
Christie N:  I am not aware of how to access public record of statistics, I was trained on the statistics we publish on our website only.
Suzanna Berlinsky:  This 5 year survival statistic is the lynch pin by which the efficacy of C.T.C.A.'s protocols are hinged. Answer the question please.
Christie N:  So you are referring to the National Cancer Institutes statistics?
Suzanna Berlinsky:  I'm not corresponding with them am I?
Christie N:  No we not the National Cancer Institute.
Christie N:  http://ww2.cancercenter.com/lung-cancer/statistics/
Suzanna Berlinsky:  Your people claim to have better stats than the N.C.I. I asked for the statistic. What is it?
Christie N:  I simply don't have the stat for 5 years.
Suzanna Berlinsky:  I request to correspond with someone, anyone, else.
Suzanna Berlinsky:  At the very least I will recommend that you be sent back for training.
Christie N:  That is a great suggestion, we do have on-going training as cancer and cancer treatment is evolving so quickly. Thank you for chatting in this evening.
Suzanna Berlinsky:  You have wasted my time.
Christie N:  I am sorry you feel that way, I sincerely wish I could have address your specific question. I wish you all the best. Good night.

IN BRIEF Concerning Cancer: 1. Take a pregnancy test just after waking up. For men a positive result means either cancer or a false positive. Take another test the next day. If a man gets 3 positive results then likely he has cancer somewhere. For women a positive result means (if she's able to become pregnant) she's pregnant or she has cancer, or she's pregnant and she has cancer, or a false positive (the test result is wrong). 2. Several positive pregnancy test results = cancer. What next? STOP eating red meat, sugar, corn syrup. STOP drinking *****. STOP (or at least cut back on) smoking. 3. Eat fresh pineapple & papaya. Take vitamin B17 (at least 1 gram daily) and wheat grass and/or barley grass liquid or capsules (they're rich in vitamin B17), on a full stomach daily (you can't overdose on them ~ they're not poisonous). Take a zinc supplement. Take pancreatic enzymes. REVIEW: TAKE pregnancy tests to detect cancer. TAKE vitamin B17 (and as many of the listed vitamins as you can, especially zinc). Eat fresh pineapple & papaya. STOP eating red meat & cane sugar. It will take several weeks on B17 therapy to turn out negative pregnancy test results. The tumor WILL NOT shrink much even after the cancer is gone because only 10% of the tumor was cancer. The tumor MAY swell temporarily as the vitamin B17 kills malignant cells. NOTE: Vitamin B17 therapy WILL NOT destroy the tumor! Vitamin B17 therapy will destroy the malignant cells (cancerous cells) of the tumor and within the tumor. Only 5% to 10% of the cells comprising a tumor are cancerous cells. In time the tumorous growth will be absorbed, in whole or in part. Unless the tumor is cosmetically displeasing, impinging nerves or blood vessels or hampering normal ****** function then let it be.

The life expectancy for American medical doctors is 58 years.
The life expectancy for Haitian voodoo witch doctors is 62.7 years.

WEB: Dr. Dean Burk (March 21, 1904 – October 6, 1988), head of the Cytochemistry section of the National Cancer Institute has reported that in a series of tests on animal tissue, the B-17 had no effect, but released so much cyanide and benzaldehyde when it came in contact with cancer cells that not one of them could survive. He said, “When we add Laetrile to a cancer culture under the microscope, we see the cancer cells dying off like flies.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the Web : In 1972, Dr. Dale Danner, a podiatrist from Santa Paula, Ca., developed a pain in the right leg and a severe cough. X-rays revealed carcinoma of both lungs and what appeared to be massive secondary tumors in the leg. The cancer was inoperable and resistant to radio therapy. The prognosis was: incurable and fatal. At the insistence of his mother, Dr. Danner agreed to try Laetrile, although he had no faith in its effectiveness. Primarily, just to please her, he obtained a large supply in Mexico. But he was convinced from what he had read in medical journals that it was nothing but quackery and a fraud. "Perhaps it was even dangerous," he thought, for he noticed from the literature that it contained cyanide. Within a few weeks the pain and the coughing had progressed to the point where no amount of medication could hold it back. Forced to crawl on his hands and knees, and unable to sleep for three days and nights, he became despondent and desperate. Groggy from the lack of sleep, from the drugs, and from the pain, finally he turned to his supply of Laetrile. Giving himself one more massive dose of medication, hoping to bring on sleep, he proceeded to administer the Laetrile into an artery. Before losing consciousness, Dr. Danner had succeeded in taking at least an entire ten-day supply -- and possibly as high as a twenty day supply -- all at once. When he awoke thirty six hours later, much to his amazement, not only was he still alive, but also the cough and pain were greatly reduced. His appetite had returned, and he was feeling better than he had in months. Reluctantly he had to admit that Laetrile was working. So he obtained an additional supply and began routine treatment with smaller doses. Three months later he was back at work.

   Mr. David Edmunds of Pinole, California, was operated on in June of 1971 for cancer of the colon, which also had metastasized or spread to the bladder. When the surgeon opened him up, he found that the malignant tissue was so widespread it was almost impossible to remove it all. The blockage of the intestines was relieved by severing the colon and bringing the open end to the outside of his abdomen -- a procedure known as colonostomy. Five months later, the cancer had worsened, and Mr. Edmunds was told that he had only a few more months to live.
   Mr. Edmunds, who is a nurse, had heard about Laetrile and decided to give it a try. Six months later, instead of lying on his deathbed, Mr. Edmunds surprised his doctors by feeling well enough to resume an almost normal routine. An exploratory cystoscopy of the bladder revealed that the cancer had disappeared. At his own insistence, he was admitted to the hospital to see if his colon could be put back together again. In surgery, they found nothing even resembling cancer tissue. So they reconnected the colon and sent him home to recuperate. It was the first time in the history of the hospital that a reverse colostomy for this condition had been performed. At the time of the author's last contact three years later, Mr. Edmunds was living a normal life of health and vigor.
