Is Cancer Surgery Necessary?
What do some doctors and other cancer researchers/ sufferers think of cancer surgery? Let's find out...
This lady (Debbie Loughlin) was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. She followed her doctor's and oncologist's advice. She had surgery. She's written an open letter: "Dear Dr. (oncologist)".

"Surgery during a time when you’ve got cancer—you need your immune system. The first thing your body will do is direct all your antibodies, everything your body needs to fight the cancer—to the surgical site.
So, it's going to weaken your immune system more."
Webster Kerr - Cancer Researcher
"The five-year cure rate for chemotherapy radiation and surgery is about 2.1 per cent (USA 2.3%)."
If you took non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma out, it would be less than that."
Dr Patrick Quillin
"Too often, the medical therapies that are used for cancer patients, surgery, to take out 20 lymph nodes in breast cancer. Now the patients are going to have lymph oedema, swollen lymph in their arm for the rest of their life—pain."
Dr Rashid Buttar
"Cancer is not the problem. Cancer is the symptom.
If you want to look at it from a car analogy, cancer is a flashing light on the dashboard. Chemo, radiation, and surgery don’t work because everybody’s taking a hammer, and they’re hitting that light, but that’s not going to fix the engine.
So my question to patients is very simple: If you took your car to a mechanic and there was a flashing check engine light on your car, and the mechanic said, "Yeah, I can fix that." The mechanic took the fuse out and said, "Okay, now your problem is solved."
Or, I’ve got a knocking in my engine. Okay. Well, here, turn up the radio. Do you hear it now? Well, I can still hear it. Here, put some ear muffs on. Yeah, no. Now I don’t hear it. Okay. Perfect!
It's like putting on ear muffs to drown out the sound of a knocking engine. You haven’t fixed the engine, but you’ve stopped the noise. This analogy highlights the futility of traditional treatments and the need for alternative, more effective approaches.

"Surgery could be used occasionally if something is blocking an artery or passageway. But in general, most cancers can be taken care of holistically without having to use surgery either.
"They’ve been through chemo and surgery, whatever, and it hasn’t worked and the cancer’s recurred. And they generally start doing something more sensible. They do a diet change."
