Comment on Medical Conspiracy Theories Persist by Vadim Shapoval

Lung Cancer Screening and Medical Conspiracy Theories. Screening is looking for cancer before a person has any symptoms. When malignant tissue (iron-overloaded tissue) is found early, it may be easier to treat. By the time symptoms appear, cancer may have begun to spread. Lung cancer is a disease in which malignant cells (iron-overloaded cells) form in the tissues of the lung. Everybody loves a good conspiracy theory. Nearly half of Americans believe in at least one health conspiracy. Some medical conspiracy theorists argue that the medical community could actually cure supposedly incurable diseases such as cancer and AIDS if it really wanted to, but instead prefers to suppress the cures as a way of maintaining the multi-trillion dollar cancer industry. The costs for long-term treatment are generally higher than for a one-time cure. A lot of people are dying from cancer and AIDS every day. Scurvy (syphilis, cancer or HIV/AIDS) is a horrible, progressive and ultimately potentially fatal condition. The disease can be fatal if untreated or inadequately treated. All inadequate therapies are limited by the development of drug resistance. In the 18th century no one knew what caused scurvy, whose symptoms were so various it was sometimes mistaken for asthma, leprosy, syphilis, dysentery and madness. Now we know that scurvy was a cocktail of vitamin deficiencies, mainly of C and B. Earlier syphilis was untreatable and usually progressed to its later stages. A night in the arms of Venus leads to a lifetime on Mercury. Mercury was taken orally or by injection or by rubbing over the skin. Another way was to fumigate the infected person in a box filled with mercury fumes with his head sticking out. These treatments were finally rendered obsolete by the discovery of penicillin. Now the Father of Oncology knows that personalized intratumoral injections of iron-deficiency agents (ceramic needles) are needed when tumors or/and metastases cannot be removed with surgery (ceramic blades). Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects iron-overloaded nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Currently, experts do not know precisely what causes ALS, but personalized iron-deficiency treatment can neutralize ALS. The HIV time line began early in 1981. In July of that year, the New York Times reported an outbreak of a rare form of cancer among gay men in New York and California. This gay cancer as it was called at the time was later identified as Kaposi’s Sarcoma, a disease that later became the face of HIV/AIDS. Personalized iron-deficiency treatment can neutralize HIV. Lung cancer is the most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. Lung cancer screening and personalized iron-deficiency treatment can save lives when carried out responsibly and following current best practices. The main point behind medical conspiracy theories is the idea that the medical community is withholding information in order to make a profit. If iron-deficiency conspiracy theory is correct, we will beat cancer, HIV and ALS soon. There will come the day when cancer will be tied with iron chains, Vanga predicted.

Could not agree more. You have articulated this so well. Should email to each senator and representative in Congress. They have no Idea, and might begin to legislate differently if they were educated on the doctor/nurse/healthcare professional perspective, asyou have explained it so well here. The rule should be: Patients Before Profits.

Dear Reliant,
I await my chocolate.
I follow the letter carrier, sniffing at his bag, hoping to smell the welcoming aroma of chocolate

I am getting much better at fixing things myself.
And more assertive at asking for supervisors.

Many times I have asked to be transferred to someone in the United states or Canada and I find that, suddenly, the line is dead.

I have been told numerous times by customer service that the person on the other end is there to insure that the problem is resolved and that you are happy….Unfortunately, unless you are really lucky, you are getting someone reading from a script. Not only that, but most customer service is “out sourced”. I ask where they are located…and generally it is out of the country. I then request to be transferred to someone in the United States. Sometimes you have to ask more than once, but ultimately they must transfer the call. That, of course, does not guarantee that the US Rep will have any better knowledge of the product and the course to take to resolve your issue BUT at least there is a chance that you will not have a language problem.

My other suggestion….return the toaster and get a new, less complicated toaster! It is all the “bells and whistles” that get us into trouble!

What a terrible experience, siberian.
Unfortunately, that is all too common these days.
Where, or where is that good customer service that so many companies used to pride themselves on?
