Medlife Crisis Thanks for another great video again.
13:40 I was waiting for you to say Thank you Cheesus...
You're off yer rocker!!!
Love it

I don't think I want to be a cheese bloater of Asians. Asians haven't done anything to me. Some people of Asian decent have been unkind, but I don't think that means all Asians are unkind.
My aunt was told she had a breast tumor and needed to a radical mastectomy. She was 70 at the time. She got a second opinion and a biopsy. The tumor turned out to be a non cancerous cyst. A dermatologist took care of it in the office under local anesthesia. She died last year at age 98.
Thank you for sharing.
Yep, same thing happened to me in my 50's. My doctor didn't even tell me about the results of my mamogram, just scheduled a biopsy with a surgeon. The surgeon's office called me saying I needed a biopsy ASAP. Scared the crap out of me. I went to a larger town where they had centers that only did imaging studies and got a second opinion. They looked at my scans and said, "are you a coffee drinker?" I said year, since I was 16. They told me caffiene makes the breast tissue thicker and gives off false readings. I never went back to the doctor that started this nightmare even though he hounded me to get the biopsy. That was 20 years ago.
Exactly
I had the opposite. 4 doctors, plus countless nurses and radiologists, told me I was fine. Just an infection of some sort. To be fair, that's what I thought too but wanted to know for sure what it was so we could hopefully make it go away. Antibiotics or something. Anything to alleviate the symptoms. We did a bunch of imaging (2 ultrasounds and a 3D mammogram) and ran tests but found nothing. I insisted on more imaging (MRI) and demanded a biopsy (wound up being 2). Guess who had cancer all over and had a double mastectomy? Yep. Me. Got a second opinion afterwards to confirm. The part that miffed me the most about the diagnosis was one of the doctors who told me I was fine was only 33 when she had BC, yet told me I was too young and had no family history so it couldn't be that. I was 29.
@@katie7748 I pray that you continue to be healthy. I have a family member with a similar story. Started treating a lump with antibiotics :/

My grandfather was diagnosed with lung cancer, it was too late to be treated yet they still recommended chemotherapy, they said the chemo would let him live another three months, he refused the chemo and lived for a year and half
What a classic response. Nobody likes hearing, "There's nothing we can do." But chemo, medication, etc. can be offered as options, not your only hope.
Always check out The City of Hope (formerly cancer treatment centers of America). My dad was told he had maybe a year left but bow between the city of hope and prayer, he's been given so many more years.
I love my dad and I'm not ready to live without him.
And it pisses me off when a hard time line to die is given.
@squishy8758 thank you for this, and God bless your Dad with many more years of joy and good health. 💗🙏💗
That's why in certain countries the doctors evaluate if the person is healthy enough to go through the treatment. If you are too weak you can die faster from treatment than it you let the cancer naturally progress. It doesn't mean that treatment is a bad thing, but it can be really though on the body.
And the life was so much better this way
Im a dentist, and seeing hundreds of teeth everyday very often teeth have black spots on them which are considered by many dentists a stage 1 carries and need intervention where as they can stay there for 30 years and never get any deeper, your video resonated with me deeply
Bottom line : only treat what NEEDS to be treated !
I went to private dentist and they told me I have 7 teeth to fix. Then I went for 2nd opinion to foreign private dentist. She said my teeth are fine, no need to touch tooth if it doesn't bother me.
And when it bothers you, they will just get that tooth out?
@@user-bl3tu5us6b it's been 7 years since then and only 3 teeth had filings
When my son was 5 years old a dentist asked me if my son only was fed with sugar ( he was a brestfed baby),because all his teeth were damaged!
It was not true, and until now his teeth are white and healthy( he is 42 😅)
I have one. Never got deep been like that on molar for 9 years.
My survival strategy is to avoid whatever the Daily Mail says causes cancer that week but just for that week. It makes my diet more varied.
When the Daily Wail reports the same thing as a "superfood" a year later you can engage smug mode.
The only downside to that is having to read the daily mail

I think adam ruins everything has a video with a cited statistic of when you're likely to have a false positive with a yearly breast cancer screening.
Hahaha...best and wisest comment so far. Yes. It's what they do, these people that call themselves doctors. They are not in the business of keeping people healthy. Afterall, who can blame them? There would be no more work for them, if everyone would be healthy and happy. So 'keep them coming,' they chant...Lost health only returns when one discovers the cause that brought on the disease and eliminates it. I hope everyone wakes up to that one day. Peace.
My mother's breast cancer was completely missed by doctors until it was stage 4 and it had been strewn into bones and brain. Her German doctor was like those doctors in the nigerian films you spoke about, he said gravely "you have weeks to live." The weeks became 7 years. RIP, Mama.
Baking soda cures breast cancer.
I’m sorry to hear that
After early BC diagnosis and mastectomy, surgeon said I didn’t need any follow up “let’s not go looking for something that’s not there”. Oncologist said, “it was so slow growing you would have probably died at 80”. Very pissed off because they made me think I was going to die imminently. I was more traumatised by the whole process than from the symptom free illness.
Jeeeeeeeeeez I was lucky and got copies of ALL my lab work. I googled the ever-loving SH!T out of everything I could. Doctors keep you on a need-to-know basis even at the best hospitals and I did NOT want to be left in the dark. I hate that I needed a double mastectomy but it saved my life so ehhhh. I'm sorry you went through that :-(
Side note and not trying to start anything, but this is why I'm so appalled at perfectly (physically) healthy girls/women chopping their boobs off because they "feel like a boy" or whatever. There is NO going back. No amount of reconstruction will ever replace nature.

We have a health system that ignores food and a food system that ignores health.

'we' are way overused!

And we are fixated on food being the only way to alleviate illness. Emotions create the chemistry that creates disease. Even though it has been proven time and time again, very few are listening.

Medicine shouldn't EVER be a business. Simple as that.
U bet . If U want to make money take commerce not medicine.Leave the people alone
I'm conflicted on this one...certainly when business is prioritized above the patient, that's always bad. But, business interest drives much medical advancement, which is a good thing. It seems to me that there's a middle range where patient interest is still paramount, and business interest still exists to drive medical advancement that otherwise would be difficult to fund.
@@user-fn1cd6mo9z Business drives profit not advancement. Cuba has one of smallest economies in the world measured by western standards, yet they have the healthiest civilian population in the world almost -with a completely free, government funded healthcare system. They leave the United States in the dust on almost every front -infant mortality, life expectancy, malnutrition, etc. And they have developed novel cures & vaccines to diseases we haven't. In addition, they developed their own covid vaccine, and almost fully vaccinated their entire population while simultaneously shipping it to poor countries that didn't have any supply themselves (meanwhile, the United States greedily hoarded its own vaccines for itself while people in poorer countries died needless deaths). Business is anti-life. Business is objectively bad for healthcare outcomes and encourages cost-cutting, outrageous price-gouging/inflation, short-staffing, and stagnation. Just look at our COVID response here in the West -our hospitals were in continuous crisis mode because hospital managers and CEOs intentionally short staffed their facilities to save a buck. Not to mention the droves and droves of rural hospitals closing their doors because "they aren't profitable enough", leaving millions of Americans to suffer & in many cases die in healthcare deserts.
@@user-fn1cd6mo9zBut none of that medical advancement matters if no one can afford it. Many other counties manage to fund and discover medical advancements without needing to have turned it into a business.
It not only harms patients but doctors too, pretty sure the darn hospital CEO’s get payed more than the doctors and nurses.
I'm 51 year old male who has lifted weights since I was in my 20s, never smoked, eat well and rarely drink. After a bone density test I was found to have osteoporosis. I was instantly told I needed to have a zoledronic acid infusion. Reading about it said that there was a lot of possible side effects from it. I decided that the 1% chance of me breaking a bone was worth risking.
Just take vitamine D supplements
Stop taking protein or eating too much animal protein, which systematically depletes your calcium.
Also, the rate of bone density has been changed over time so more people who are screened "need" treatment. It's a complete cash grab.
"My name is @thehunter6170. I'm 51 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married.

I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told I had osteoporosis at my latest checkup. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone."

Whenever I'm tempted to go through any screening I ask myself, "If this comes up positive, what am I going to do that is different from what I'm doing now?" If a MD told me I have 6 months, I wouldn't do chemo. I would walk directly out of the clinic and get to doing the things I need get done. If the MD told me I had a year, I'd get to settling my affairs and then go backpacking. Basically, my goal is to outlive my 16 year old dog.

@@sarashepard7504 No! Just no!
Right on! Right there with you.
@@sarashepard7504 why do you say that?
A very small tumor was found in a routine mammogram with my 81 year old mother. She had no discomfort or symptoms. Her doctor decided she needed to start chemo ASAP. The second chemo treatment killed her. I must question the wisdom of starting an 81 year old on chemo. I can't help but think we would have had many more years had she been given reasonable consultation; pro vs cons. We all need to at least consider that in some situations, the treatment can be more harmful than just being informormed, forgoing damaging therapies, and just enjoying what time we have remaining. :(
That's appalling. chemo is an insane treatment. Especially for an elderly person her age!
Now let me start by saying that Chemotherapy can and often does completely cure patients of several types of cancers, so its definitely a very useful treatment even if its unpleasant. But I also agree, oncologists need to be more careful and avoid aggressively treating old and frail patients who dont have many years left anyway.
I'm questioning whether this is the whole story. I'm not saying you're lying, you may not know the whole story either. Did your mother not get a second opinion? Surely the primary care doctor or oncologist would have discussed risks and stats with your mother.
I'm sorry for your loss :(

My dad had a PSA test done. His doctor said the numbers were high so they recommended a biopsy which involved taking a core sample of the prostate. The sample of his prostate showed that he had no cancer but from that point on in to his dying day in order to urinate he had to have a catheter. When he was in his early 70s his doctors recommended that he have it pacemaker installed. His cardiologist told him he would never survive without it.In his late 80s he received the letter about a recall on his pacemaker. His new doctor said that he couldn't understand why he had a pacemaker at all. He turned it off and my dad lived on till 93. Always get a second and if possible third opinion before you let anybody touch you.
I agree!
I have chronic pain which had been well managed (same dosage) until 2012. Then the doctor tried to get me to try monthly cortisone injections (much more expensive but covered by insurance).
Thank God I said no. It was only a few months later when the manufacturer, a "compounding pharmacy", was exposed for having their lab near a landfill and not practicing safe hygiene. Several patients died, others were paralyzed, and the compounding pharmacy went bankrupt.
Yours should be the only story like this. I’m sorry that it isn’t. I really should be recording these things to bring to a board that can’t be bought. I’m not sure it exists.
Well…imagine you’re the doc. You know most high PSAs aren’t true aggressive prostate cancer, but….a few are, and in those few, early treatment helps. Do you recommend a biopsy (the only way to know), when statistically it will likely be pointless, or do you risk missing that one true cancer? It is a hard, messy reality.
@@Itried20takennames Exactly. Plus it is very rare to have inability to urinate as a consequence. Overall the benefits do often outweigh the risks. However, people need to be made more aware of both so they can make more educated decisions if it is worth it to them
@@Itried20takennames why not wait come back and see the possible growth and have follow ups with the patiënt to see if they have any symptoms and things like that tho? Seems a lot easier 🤣
This time last year i had kidney pain. I've had kidney stones a few times and the pain was similar but not as acute. So i went to the local clinic, small rural town in Utah. Was told my kidneys were shutting down and i had to be airlifted now. So i asked a few questions using info from previous urologists. I kept asking about whether it was just a stone. And the answer was always kidney failure. I refused treatment and had to sign myself out. Handwritten on the sheet was "death likely". The next day i passed 2 small stones and within a day i was 100%. The cost of that airlift would have been $30k, not covered by my insurance. You need specific airlift insurance which i didn't have, didn't know about.

As a 40 year nurse and with many years of medical writing I have ignored various diagnoses as incidentalomas including COPD, thoracic aortic aneurysm, angiomyolipoma of the kidney and supposed breast cancer. I'm still here and in full health 8 years later. Screening is a crock. But I learned that through being able to parse the literature. Normal folk don't get that luxury and the harm is immense. Thank you for shining a light on this massive medical con.
Incidentalomas. Great word. I'm adding it to my dictionary.😊
My doctor wants me to start getting mammograms, assuring me that if we do them regularly we will "catch" any signs of breast cancer early. I have no doubt that smashing vulnerable tissues between 2 hunks of metal & shooting radiation through yearly results in more cases of breast cancer being "found," but I do have my doubts about correlation/causation. I'll forego the imaging & continue self exams
Researchers looking intobreast cancer literature examined diaries written by frontier women regarding their finding lumps in their breasts. the women lived at least 15 years after discovering the lump. (Technology didn't exist in terms of scans, of course.). The researchers ended up wondering if when all is said and done, the modern day testing of breast tissue by mammograms, which cause an uptick in radiation and then aggressive therapies are applied if some tiny microscopic lump is found aren't actually hastening the deaths of some patients.

Although doctors did find the kidney cancer on a scan before he passed away and they told him he must have had it for a year! 🤣

That's why I call them incidentalomas. They are in the body but causing no harm. The more sensitive the tests (think PET scan) the more incidentalomas are detected. More money for the medical charlatans.

My little brother had and died from cancer. He lived an amazing life up until the week before he was diagnosed. There was no possibility of treatment for him, but even if we had caught it early (even a month in advance) there still wouldn't have been treatment for him bc of the nature of the cancer. I like to think he lived a happy life unbothered by the tumors growing in him and finding out "early" really wouldn't have changed anything. Don't treat what isn't a problem yet.
I’ve had a brain tumour for eight years now. It has been monitored with regular MRI scans, but no treatment since it wasn’t causing major problems. I suddenly started having more migraines and other issues. My next scan was moved up, and the tumour had suddenly grown. I’m now undergoing radiotherapy to stop it and potentially shrink it. It’s too deep in my brain to be safely operated on. I’m thankful we were simply monitoring so we could act when necessary instead of overreacting.

How long ago was that? Perhaps get a second opinion though. Then make your decision.

2) get another doctor and test yourself again.

As part of the national screening program in the UK my healthy, athletic 61yr old step-father was diagnosed with early stage bowel cancer at the start of the first covid lockdown. The lockdown experience was so traumatic, and the complications and subsequent remedial surgeries left him with permanent disability. He's a shell of his former self and says he'd choose certain death over what he went through, if he had the choice.

True - stress is the number one cause of all illness.

If you have a blood draw to be done ask the doctor to check that.
Very important.
Dr told my husband he had "multi Miloma" (I'm not spelling it right). This was during covid and I couldn't be with him. I looked it up and asked if they found a certain protein present in his blood. When we finally got a hold of the doctor to ask him, he admitted he had not run that test. So when they did, the protein was not there, so my husband did not have that cancer. Then they said he has hairy cell leukemia. Ran tests, yes, he has it. They said they used to take out the spleen right away and people died within a few years. (duh...we need our spleen). They don't do that anymore. But they do chemo. We were told as long as his white blood count and platelets stay within a certain range he didn't need chemo and we just continue to watch. Then they gave him a "team" of doctors, which is really one guy who tried pushing the chemo because of covid. What??? No, my husband already had covid and did fine. So I researched and figured out what he needs to eat and keep his blood count up. Its been 3 years. He is still doing fine, no chemo, and no jabs for things he doesn't need jabs for.
How did you handle
Keep doing what you’re doing, my WBC count, after 8 years went back into the normal range. No treatment just healthy, natural diet and faith in Jesus. Dr doesn’t want to call me healed but my blood markers tell me I am. Keep going!!!

You do happen to be describing the scenario I was referencing: One where you were able to thrive above projected odds, and one where I’m sure your Dr.s are happy for you rather than spitefully shaking their fists at the sky wishing you had stayed limited in life. You obviously disagree with this assertion, since you reacted strongly enough to write a good deal about your own life. Hopefully your future interactions with medical professionals are more positive, and you aren’t the continued subject of malice, as it sounds like they are/will be your new coworkers.

My uncle was diagnosed with small intestine cancer before I was born. He was told he needed chemotherapy and probably some portion of his intestine needed to be removed. He said if "I'm gonna die, it won't be in a hospital" and refused treatment. I'm 30 now and my uncle is still healthy as a horse.
So its a fake diagnosis?
@@satishm5260 No, he got it checked about 5 years after the initial diagnosis. They gave him the same speech. That he was cancer and he needed the operation. He ignored it too and as far as i know didn't get it checked again.
@@illusivec cool
Did your uncle do anything drastic to change his life? (Diet, exercise, meditation etc.)
@@1JackCarter Big pharma has infiltrated the medical community and education institutes. They are taught lies.
I've been diagnosed twice with cancer when I didn't have it.
They did a biopsy on my swollen thyroid, found Hurthle cells, said it could be cancer. They wanted to remove it to check and see. I refused. They harassed me to get it out to the point I told one doctor to stop calling me.
The swelling went down on its own. Turns out it wasn't cancer because that was 25 years ago.
As a mammographer I retired early due to seeing much over diagnosis and the subsequent procedures. This seemed to be the worst by the newest radiologists at our breast center. I likened it to them having specialized in "billable hours" training in school. You are correct, plus DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) is a highly debated topic among doctors as some do not consider it cancer and some do.
Let me tell you about ductal carcinoma in Situ. In 1993 I was diagnosed with it and had a a small resection of the left breast followed by radiation and chemo. About 6 months later a small pimple popped up in the area of radiation dr biopsied it and said it was cancer this was followed by another round of chemo. Then the skin on my left breast became orange peel like and hard lumps formed. This led to a left breast mastectomy and then a stem cell transplant was able to use my own stem cells. To this day I believe the radiation caused the cancer and none of this would have been necessary.
I am so sorry 😢 for you, live life in the PRESENT and be well!
@@maryconner332 nope. That kind of radiation doesn't cause cancer. That kind of radiaon in 90s caused heart diseases, for example. But there are papers published about different types even rare cancers appeared in one person. Did they test you for BRCA?
My skin on the breast also peeled off after the radiation. It's nothing special. But I had it over 20 years after you so the machines became better anyway, the dosages are different etc. I had 62 grays altogether.
Here’s a nutshell version…..
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Ironically this is used a lot in business. Wonder why people don't apply it to life?
My mom just died from cancer and a screening likely would have saved her. I don't get what the point of the video is, anyways. What do we have to lose by getting a screening?
@@townc2824 10:05 There are three types of cancer : agressive, normal and slow-growth. Agressive and normal cancers cause symptoms which lead to an earlier death. Screening helps with THESE.
However, slow-growth cancers do not cause symptoms and people with these died from natural causes just like those without any active cancer. The cancer is only detected in post mortem. Detection of these cancers are called over-screening. So, any treatment (and horrible side effects from complications) of slow growth cancers are actually redundant, it causes unnecessary suffering.
The problem here is determining what category of cancer is detected, will it cause symptoms later in life? It's impossible to tell with our current technology.
@@aishahshamsul8642 Yes. It's both actually, sometimes it's over diagnosing, sometimes under-/not diagnosing early enough. The death of a family member because of a missed aggressive cancer tumor hurts no less though.
The saying is actually "If it works, don't fix it."
My mom told me of a lady she knew who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She refused treatments and lived another 25 years. The woman actually died of a heart attack in her 70's.
I truly believe most people diagnosed with cancer are eventually killed off by the cancer "treatments". This happened to my dad 20 years ago. He was so healthy despite a brain tumor that radiation took forever to finish him off. 3 times the average time. I still feel tremendous guilt to this day. I wish I had known back then what I know now. I would have stopped it.
I wonder if the biopsy is them implanting something perhaps without the doctors knowledge

My close friend PT who treated TB patients was diagnosed with cancer. And was hounded to the point of no reason to confirn cancer diagnosis. Lymph biopsy was negative. So they wanted to schedule brain tissue biopsy. She denied it. Imagine denying biopsy for brain cancer, even though all other tests were negative. Meanwhile one of our friends husband is a cancer surgeon. We sent over reports. And his radiologist and doctors came with diagnosis of TB! Frikin TB(non viral, rare presentation in brain)! We put her on flight the next flight to India. She got treated. Was TB free. Came back to US. Got a call first day from the same primary that you have cancer, please pursue treatment. She was frustrated and depressed from that diagnosis and cut contact with that doctor.
US usually said everything is cancer, especially if you go to UCSF SF.
As a pediatrician I was always interested in screening, since a lot of what we do - the so called "well child visits" - are nothing else than a screening. And the evidence that we do any good looking at children that seem fine and the parents have no worries is really scarce! Screening for some rare diseases in the blood of the newborns on the other hand is a perfect example for a good screening: There is a clear difference between normal and abnormal, early detection prevents from damage that is not reversible, there is a treatment that is well established and acceptable and the costs for the screening are low - that's when it absolutely makes sense! Thanks again for making a point!
Well child checks are primarily to inject your children with poison called childhood vaccines which have been strongly associated with a myriad of illnesses and disabilities. Try telling your pediatrician you don’t want them… most will kick your kid out of their practice immediately. Happened to my grandkids. Nothing more than a money maker for pediatricians and big pharma
As a person who had a cancerous growth on his thyroid, and having known full well it may not have ever caused me any issues during my lifetime, I still chose to get it cut out. No way would I have been able to live a happy life knowing I had that inside of me. Luckily that was the only treatment I needed and no mishaps took place during the surgery. I think it's certainly better to act, so long as the pros outweigh the cons. A year later, my thyroid levels are fine because I am young and the remaining part of my thyroid was able to pick up the slack of the missing half, but I know others aren't so lucky.
Also, just to put it out there, I do not ever say "I had cancer". I only ever say "I had cancerous tissue/etc" because I am a firm believer that there is a big difference between those two things, which is what I believe this video was trying to convey to you all. My "cancerous growth" was actually completely encapsulated by scar tissue that my body had naturally made as a barrier to protect the rest of my thyroid. It is quite miraculous how capable the human body is.
*knock on wood* of course :)
Quite right. If you get the 'easy thyroid cancer' that's usually a one off treatment. You sound like you got double lucky. My late father in law had a appendicitis that burst, but was encapsulated and he had no idea until he had a scan for an unrelated issue in a hospital in France. He tracked it back to having some discomfort as an engineering student in Bergen, Norway, some 50 years earlier. Related to the video, he had prostate cancer, but didn't die of it. He went the same way his mother went. Horrific dementia. It was devastating to watch a man who had a lifetime award from his peers in hydro physics devolve.
@@TheAccidentalViking I am very sorry to hear about your spouse's father. That does sound horrific. As an engineer, it is something I fear, losing my intellect. It's my greatest asset - I can't imagine how he felt.
I think the same is happening to my aunt! She had the same thing but got it removed and according to her “ they found cancer but it’s not cancer” we don’t want to pry because it’s been a shock to everyone but I don’t believe it’s actual cancer because she isn’t taking any additional treatment. Thanks for your story.

When I was discharged from the hospital the doctor told me they had no idea why my kidney failed. He was nice enough to say I could have cancer. lol. A week later I questioned my doctor and she said none of the tests even showed anything cancerous.
Exactly DCIS, I was diagnosed, many years ago. Was pushed for mastectomy. No, no, no i was refusing. Then was sent to another specialist and he also pleaded, please please go for surgery.... No, I refused and said I'll take my chances. I started researching myself and apparently DCIS could never develop to anything else. I mentioned this my specialist later on, and she answered that this is their procedure to for surgery. Now, she calls me our miracle and cannot explain... People, please do your own research, question everything, demand copies for all tests, scans and then check yourself. People die not from cancer but from treatment.

Thank you for speaking up!
From my experience and knowledge I must say: There's something SERIOUSLY wrong with the "health care" systems around the world.
As I see it, the overall problem is that health-care and medical-care is about money. You're not being treated, your disease is being "managed" - you're not a patient anymore, you're a customer.
You are being held sick.
Totally agree. There are vocations that need to be free of monetary incentives, unfortunately those are now all businesses.
It depends on the condition I think. Like for example, preventative screening is very important for communicable diseases, especially those with risks of syphilis and HIV. Other conditions… maybe
I can only agree to that. It’s a disgrace that people are not told the truth. 90% of diseases are actually symptoms of unhealthy lifestyle. CHD is a man made disease and 100% preventable via a plant based diet. See Dean Ornish. 75% of cancers are also completely preventable, again lifestyle of which food is the biggest component. Never diet is addressed in traditional medicine, it’s like you say sickness management driven by big pharmaceutical and costly procedures!
Bravo 👏

When I was about 7, I got food poisoning while on vacation at the beach. It was so bad my parents took me to an Urgent Care facility. The nurse/doctor/quack there pressed HARD on my waist- with inch-long razor-sharp fake nails- and since it hurt, immediately diagnosed me with appendicitis and demanded my folks have me airlifted to get emergency surgery.
It's been 19 years since, still have my appendix. Incidentally, on the opposite side of my body from where the quack checked. SHE CHECKED THE WRONG AREA.

My mother was diagnosed with DCIS, she had a mastectomy and chemotherapy. A year later she died of complications from the chemo (cardiotoxicity). I'm not a doctor - perhaps the aggressive treatment was justified. But I still wonder how much longer she would have lived if she had not gone for that mammogram.
DCIS is pre-cancer. WTF were they doing giving her chemo? FFS! They tried the same on me - and they tried hard. No thanks, just remove the little lump (DCIS/Stage 1) and let me get on my way. Keep the f'n carcinogenic (radiation, Tamoxifen) and immunity-annihilating (chemo) 'treatments'. No wonder cancer rates continue to rise: look at the f'n treatments! Even mammograms are known causes of cancer. Thermography and ultrasounds are the way to go. I'm so sorry for what they did to your mother. The cancer industry pays a lot of money to make us scared of cancer, so we can be forgiven for falling for their lies. Bottom line: the cancer industry is a massive scam. And don't let them convince you breast cancer is genetic - maybe 5% is, if that.
Strange how things change. My grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1956 and on her death certificate states she died from breast cancer 1966. So, are they really making progress, and to what extent of pain and suffering compared to just prolonging a life? As I watched 3 people die of cancer, 2 had prolonged treatments that ended in death. The other had pancreatic cancer, even though she had been seeing a doctor for almost a year with symptoms, finally figured out P cancer, ran all sorts of scans & tests then to be followed up with chemo. That chemo wiped her out. Two weeks from time being diagnosed to death.
In the states it's about a 2 to 3 percent increased survival rate over 4 years for standard care for cancer over no treatment.
Diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer four years ago at the age of 43. Three months of testing and consults before actually doing anything about it. Six rounds of chemo, pretty sure I only needed two to shrink the 4 cm tumor down to 1/2 cm. I scheduled a double mastectomy without reconstruction and my oncologist wanted to put me on another 3-4 rounds of additional "new" chemo. Did I mention each treatment billed my insurance for $32k?! I told her to shove it where the sun doesn't shine. I had my surgery with good margins and no signs in the lymph nodes and no radiation, turns out I was only stage 2. Funny how they didn't know the true extent of the disease until they physically cut it out of me. Everything prior to that was hyped up and speculation. Really?!!! When my oncologist realized that I wouldn't just follow her suggestions anymore, my "medical support team" evaporated, and good riddance. Tamoxifen made me a miserable person so I stopped taking that too. Chemo has left me with neuropathy in my hands and chemo brain is a real thing. I still have trouble remembering things. Heaven knows what other damage the six rounds of chemo has done. I often wonder how much was enough vs. too much. Why did I put myself through hell to potentially keep me alive for now, while possibly shortening my lifespan and damaging my quality of life in the long term....just to put myself back into the cubicle/rat race to continue paying into this inflated and greedy system. I no longer trust the medical industry and have decided to avoid it where possible. I intend to live what is left of my life to the fullest and let nature take its course.

Excellent! Just as I’ve suspected. I’ll live happily while I live instead of suffering horrible treatments for the same period of time! I don’t need illness renting space in my mind!
The biggest takeaway from this is how much I need to push to be fully informed on possible side effects of treatments/surgeries. I did have quite aggressively fast growing tumor with lots of fluid making me feel basically pregnant with triplets within three months. So I had to have a surgery to survive that, but because I was feeling so shit at the time, I didn’t understand what the side effects of laparotomy could be. I just wish I had someone read to me what I might deal with after that surgery because I didn’t have the energy to parse it on my own.
Same can happen the other way round. In Spain we have Public Healthcare, and my mum spent 1 year with constant headaches, and she kept going to the doctors, for a year straight, and all of them told her to take pain killers, and she explained that it had been going on for a year, but the doctors refused to test her. So she took action, went to the best private hospital in Spain, travelled across the country and spent a good amount of money, and she was indeed diagnosed with a harmful brain tumor. A couple of months after that she went through an operation. And now she is okay. This was six years ago. She has facial paralysis on the left side of her face, a twitching eye, and has lost hearing in her left ear. But shes alive, and im glad she is.
@@jamesortega8681 i mean she was having headaches probably every day. Expected lifespan doesn't matter if quality of life is bad.
@@whatif3271 I would argue it does matter (expected lifespan vs quality of life), but comparatively. There does become a point for most people that they would rather have a longer life and some want a better quality life. If that better quality of life comes to significantly reduce their lifespan it might not be worth it and it can become something you learn to live with. Other times there are estimates of a very small reduction is estimated lifespan could increase your quality of life immensely.
its a big issue that even in countries where we have public healthcare, often you have to seek privatised, expensive alternatives to actually be treated… glad your mum is ok!
@@hattarapilvi I would say we still have the worst of both worlds in the US. There are many local hospitals with somewhat apathetic staff that may or may not even accept your insurance. Then if you go to a highly trained specialist or a certain more renowned hospital, insurance tells you you're out of luck. At least with public health care, the lower-tier hospitals that are good enough for 90% of issues are free.
@@hattarapilvi
Yeah, in my country public health care is such that if you go ask about some kind of issue you get assigned to some specialist, but it takes literally a year for them to have time for you. In the meantime the thing you were worried about can disappear on it's own, or grow worse. It's a shitty system
My 90-year-old mother calls screenings “looking for trouble.”

I have been diagnosed with predicted full liver failure within 2 year time back in 2005. I have not agreed for having it removed and looking for donor. Instead dad opted to get more opinions. I am still here, my liver is fine.
Thank you for reaffirming my decision to quit having mammograms at the age of 72. They are painful with my cystic breasts and I don't think they will prolongs my life.
Take over the counter iodine supplements, and your cystic breasts will heal in a matter of weeks.
I have heard they start more cancer than they prevent.
Besides the additional radiation you are subjected to (unless your area has the newest tech). It is important for women to learn to self test and to make intelligent decisions. If you have large dense breasts it is harder to do & a tumor could be buried deep but to get radiation every year (mammograms) is potentially dangerous year after year. U.S. docs are trained on a track and that’s where the majority stay. I had breast cancer. It was fast growing. I found it. The first couple of surgeons I met were scalpel happy & scared me. I went to my state’s top hospital with the ‘best oncology’ center and oh my gosh, each individual needs to continually be aware. I kept having terrible issues with the port (for chemo) for weeks on end, kept getting infected & thus I was constantly on strong antibiotics. Ended up in the ER because of infection. Ruined my teeth, had to have all removed. All because of excessive antibiotic use. Many years later my 82 yr old Aunt, who had been an RN & worked until she was in her 70’s, saw this scarring on my chest & asked about it. I told her the port story. SHE said, did no one realize you obviously have a latex allergy? There is a latex coating on the port - your body was rejecting the it because it was reacting to the allergy. I ended up in two different hospitals because of the infection (one was THE BEST IN THE STATE) and no one caught the latex allergy! No one could figure out why I was having issues with the port. Later, my oncological surgeon wanted to do a full removal even though all tests showed significant shrinkage. I asked can’t you go in & then decide how much to remove? Answer, no. We’ve set up for full removal, if you want a lumpectomy you’ll have to wait a while because we will have to re-set the surgical room. I decided to wait. Afterwards, I do have to give this surgeon respect because he admitted it was the right decision. The only time I’ve heard a surgeon admit he was wrong. We must educate ourselves about OUR healthcare.
😂I'm 63 and I've never had one, or a cervical smear lol.
Look into Lugers iodine and system. Also Castor oil packs for cysts
I AGREE. I was “diagnosed with “hepatitis C” in the early 90’s. I had no symptoms but it was recommended that I go through the full course of chemotherapy. I ignored the doctors and went along my merry way. Years later a blood test showed that the hep C had cleared my body on its own. I never did have a single symptom.
This is bullshit. Hepatitis C is not a cancer, so there is no chemotherapy to cure it. Hepatitis C is a viral infection in the liver, and does not always show symptoms before your liver is quite damaged. That being said, Hep C as an infection can be cleared by the immune system (spontaneous viral clearance), but on average you are better of taking the medication, rather then taking a chance on having your liver destroyed by the infection. Also, Hep C is not something that is randomly given as a diagnosis. For it to even be considered you will have to be at high risk (Sex work, drug user, health care workers), and/or have some kind of accident (Unintentional needle stick, cuts, non-safe sex, received blood, organs or clotting factors prior to 1992).
Sometimes the lab results are in error. "We don't treat the lab, we treat the patient."

My mom had colon cancer and underwent surgery to remove the cancer portion. Her surgeon felt the surgery was sufficient, as all the lymph nodes were tested and came back clean, but she had to go to the cancer center anyway. The doctor there wanted her to undergo chemo, but mom stood her ground. They did genetic testing and decided to accede to her request. She goes in for regular checks to make sure no new cancer has developed, but no chemo or radiation or medications!

@@Lauren-vd4qe you are right; they technically cannot force her, but they could have pressured her with “facts” until she consented out of doubt.

As a person that believe in Science: look for a second or 'third" opinion about what you have in your body. In my hometown there was this guy that broke a leg. The local doctor put a cast on top of a exposed fracture. The guys leg started to get "rotten". The guy went back to the hospital and it was decided that his leg had to be amputated. His family decided to go to a major city to see what could be done. There the doctors cured the wound and he kept his leg. Imagine if he just followed the diagnosis that his leg had to be cut off? He would never know if it was the right choice.
My piece of advice: follow science but search for other opinions with professionals in the same field, but do it fast because if you wait for too long it could be late to treat what you have.
That sounds like a prime medical malpractice suit.
Sadly... In the U. S. At least, you can only do that for adults. If you try to take your child to another hospital for another opinion, they will call child protective services, who will then go by the "expertise" of the doctor. Many people have lost their children simply wanting to get a second opinion. but when you understand doctor mistakes are the 3rd leading cause of death in our country (and likely higher by real statistics), they have to protect their business.
My grandfather was complaining of massive headaches the week before he died, sadly he died before the doctors could see him. The same area of the brain which caused a stroke 5 years prior was about to burst again. Doctors were scolded in his autopsy.

This is a video EVERYONE should watch! l know several women who had breasts amputated due to a diagnosis of DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). Unfortunately, most would never have developed invasive cancer, so they were likely subjected to terrible 'treatment' for nothing. Of course, they are celebrated by their friends and family as 'cancer survivors' as no-one understands they weren't at high risk in the first place.
This happened to my 70 year old sister. I begged her to refuse chemo and radiation. She did do a lumpectomy which her doctors pushed on her. And they were furious she refused further treatment. I am so grateful my call was right and she agreed. She is alive and well at 78
My good friend underwent mammograms yearly with nothing to show. In 2020, they found a lump and a biopsy said it was cancer. There is a possibility it could have just been parasites. She was declared stage 1. They did full chemo on her over a year and a half. She did not have insurance and due to the effects of chemo, had to quit her well paying job. She was declared “cancer free” in the fall of 2022. That is when I met her. She was excited to finally be able to find a job again and provide for herself and travel. About a month after I met her she started experiencing extreme fatigue and fever. She would go to the hospital and they would give her a blood transfusion. Then after about 3 weeks, she needed another. Then after 2 weeks. She consistently had low WBC. The doctor gave her a medication to promote the production of WBC. She suddenly had bone pain all through her body. They did a bone marrow biopsy, and was declared to have MDS. MDS is where the DNA in the stem cells (bone marrow) is corrupted (likely from the high dose chemo that was over the top), and it can not produce healthy cloud cells and the could develop into leukemia. She underwent two bone marrow transplants that failed. Later we learned that the matches were 70% and 80%, but there is no chance of success below 85%. So, why did they go forward$ with the transplant? In September she was told her “cancer free” breast cancer was back and metastatic. She elected for a mastectomy and radiation. I have been supporting her financially, but now am very limited.
I wish we had known each other earlier. I would have pushed for a second opinion, reconsidering chemo, and encouraging lower dosages.
She is having a very hard time, and I don’t know if she will recover.
Modern medicine is evil.
@@michaelbarker742This is so sad 😭
@@michaelbarker742 "it could have just been parasites"??? in breasts? Can you elaborate?
never go to see a doctor unless i'm dying. got it loud and clear doc!
subscribed for more medical advice.
Reminds me of how when I was 22 I went to my family doctor to get an ingrown toenail cut out and my heart sounded weird. With in weeks I was set up to have a cardiac ablation for WPW. Something that the doctor who was performing said ablation kept warning me that if I didn't take care of it at that moment, it could kill me when I was in my 70s. So, I had the procedure done and the doc removed my actual cardiac pathway and left me with extra weaker one. Then when I was 25 my heart stopped while I was taking a shower, because that stupid pathway was giving out. I lost my 20s trying not to die. Now, nearly a decade later I'm on all sorts of medications that I'll take for the rest of my shortened life. My family doctor still has regrets sending me that day and I regret not getting a second opinion nearly every day. Sometimes it just pays to leave things alone if they are not causing problems. I would have rather died from it in my 70s than deal with the near daily fear and probably die in my late 30s or early 40s because it was "caught in time" and "you're young enough to bounce back from this quickly" mentality.
That is really infuriating. I'm sorry that this has happened to you.
Fear mongering be like 😔
God, that is awful. I hope the years you do have are at least really, really wonderful.
This is so sad. I pray that despite all you have been through, you will overcome your fear and enjoy living each day to the fullest. Do not let doctors dictate to you how long your life will be. Don’t give up and put your trust in God and Jesus, the Great Physician, to see you through.
Holy f***. They wanted to do surgery to prevent a problem at 70....when realistically, there's a 50% chance you won't even make it to 70 to begin with. Effing WOW.
This doesn't even REALLY touch on the fact that pretty much every test is going to have a certain, even if small, rate of false positives. If you start testing everyone, you're going to start finding things that literally aren't there just due to errors with the specificity of tests
Then as a patient , you can ask for a second diagnostic before acting on the evidence. But they usually do biopsies and other confirming tests after an initial positive before surgery, chemo, and /or radiation.
It's called the Blue Dot effect. Humans, especially humans given the tools and knowledge to fix something, have a physiological need to find something wrong with whatever they're looking at. If there isn't anything wrong or out of place, we will invent those reasons, usually subconsciously. We literally can't help trying to fix things that aren't broken.
not just that man. people are aging and it has effect on their bodies. it was like this from ever. now, they find something, which could be pretty usual for some people in some age, just usual demage of body or organs. and they start to freak out. as for as cancer it is all about fear which is created via false msm pr, usually via subliminal messaging. also other thing is that doctors are willingly (purposely) or unwillingly pushed to overdiagnose from economical reasons. unfortunately medicine become business and a lot of doctors are just sellers or even scammers...
@@jamesortega8681 right, but false positives are going to pop up more often for the same reason (overtesting) and cause the same problem (over treatment)
And also variations from the norm that aren't even harmful but are still gonna be treated for some reason because of a warped sense of what normality means
My wife was told she had melonoma. They needed to cut. She told them no and to go away. They sent letter after letter, finally a certified letter. We ignored them. This was 6 years ago and she is fine. My wifes coworker's husband was told the same thing, 6 years ago. He took their advice and medical treatment, he is dead, died from the chemotherapy.
This is exactly why there is an onocologist here on youtube that stated at age 65 he was done with medical care, that even if he was diagnosed with a life threatening disease, he would not seek treatment. If he was in a car wreck or some other accident he would accept medical care but beyond that he wouldn't. He's now 75 and healthy and was interviewed again and asked if he felt the same way. He said he did, even more so. He's a cancer doctor that spends his days (he's still working) and says he would refused the very same treatment he treats his patients with. Made me think!!! I don't get mamograms anymore, don't take antibiotics (I figured out they caused my IBD that I struggled wtih for years) and basically don't go to the doctor. I eat heathy, exercise everyday and try not to think so much about myself and how I feel. I'm healthier than I've been in years.
More power to you!
what is the doctor's name?
I feel the same.. no mammograms for me -stay away from the doc and their "managing". I am 71 and on no meds at all. I do take lots of vitamins and supplements.

I don't do tests. Not even pap smears. Had about 5 my whole life Dr. ordered. Stopped going to doctors. Healthy at 69. I don't take their poison pharmaceuticals either. Humana calls me all the time about screening, I tell them no thanks. They are horrified. I know all about the health system, I am retired nurse. I let them practice on someone else.

Twenty years ago I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My thyroid was removed and the final pathology report showed that I didn't have thyroid after all. Well, now I'm stuck on synthetic thyroid medicine for the rest of my life and it constantly needs to be increased, then decreased. Oh such fun and all because of a misdiagnosis.
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately this is more common than we think.

My friend had a testicle surgically removed when he was a teenager in the 80’s because the doctors saw (felt) an abnormality. What did the surgeon find? Normal variation, nothing malignant. Since it was the US and the 80s, he got PPAAAAYYYYEEEDD. but it’s hard to quantify how much damage was done to his teenage psyche. In his mid-20s, I knew him for a year before he even mentioned it, and only because I asked how he had so much money saved and no student debt. Anyway, mistakes are part of life, but it’s hard when you’re the one suffering the consequences. Oh, and be sure to ask me about my CVS aka abdominal migraines. On second thought, please don’t.
I’m really sorry this happened to you and that it’s still negatively affecting your life.
The same thing happened to my mom when she was 18. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, had it removed, and struggled with weight her whole life afterward. She was also on thyroid medication. She speculated she was misdiagnosed and actually had Hashimoto Disease, not cancer.
I was just diagnosed with a very rare cancer, Appendix cancer. I went in for a complete hysterectomy. They removed the tumor, but are now talking about removing portions of my colon and giving me a colostomy. The last 3 weeks have been hell. They also wanted to give me drugs that are know to give blood clots!!!! I am trying to read up, eat cleaner, which I had been doing, no sugar or carbs and just live life. Please pray for a complete miracle. We've lost so many in our family to cancer. 😭😭

I've got an incidentaloma. They found a cyst on my pineal gland during an MRI, which is a pretty common incidentaloma. I had to take time out of my day to go to the neurologist and get tested because my doctor wanted to be safe. The neurologist seemed pretty annoyed that I was wasting his time and explained to me that most pineal cysts are found on autopsy after causing no problems for their entire lives. I might have another one now in another part of my body. My new doctor is more conservative and said if I wanted to do anything about this that it would be elective and not recommended until it starts causing problems.
I think you forget that even if the doctor explains to the patient all this, the patient's family and friends might push them into "doing something." I told my family about this new cyst and of course they freaked out. I had to explain to them that it's just a cyst and it's small and not causing problems yet but they want something done RIGHT NOW and I need to be PROACTIVE. So peer pressure is probably a big cause of these people going for aggressive treatment when they don't need to.
Don't tell everything. Even the family does not Need to know Everything. I've begun to pause & consider, Would this info be beneficial to the hearer? That has spared me a lot of trouble.
It’s sad when you realize medicine has become an assembly line business and you’ve become a quota- just listen to your body
I survived Sepsis in January 2020 and Delta variant Covid-19 in March 2021 treated at home mostly with my Kitchen pharmacy remedies like Ginger & Garlic.....
If I had gone to the hospital for treatment, I would have been murdered
That is a very very excellent presentation. I had a bone marrow biopsy done in 2007 that came back as malignant because of a trance location. It was found as an incidental finding because I was getting some weird type of anemia. I’ve had no treatment for it and most likely will live a long life but will still have it on my autopsy. It gave me more stress because it could’ve been there most of my life but no one wants to hear the word malignant come back on the pathology report.
We are over diagnosing and over treating, my son had thyroid cancer the most common form and they elected to remove his entire thyroid instead of a watch and wait approach because he was a teenager. Seven years later treatment is much different because it’s much better to have your natural thyroid then to require medicine to survive for the rest of your life. Your thyroid does such a better job than a prescription. I wish I was given that option for treatment for him. They definitely over treated the cancer.
Thank you again for an excellent presentation
Cancer usually only becomes a problem when the cell division is much faster than the cells they’re competing with.
One of my best friend's grandmother got diagnosed with cancer 20 yrs ago. She left the hospital and hasn't gone back. She's alive and healthy today.
That’s an example of fake disease. I wouldn’t be surprised if cancer isn’t her demise. Long live grandmas!!!
I believe that with all my heart. What type of cancer did they diagnose her with? My late husband was diagnosed with late stage lung cancer (never smoked) and went through treatment. I believe the treatment killed him not the so called disease.
@@ginagray8040 breast cancer. I work out with my friend almost daily so I’ll try to get more details about his gm.
Brea#t cancer is a heterogenous group of cancers that occur in the breast, and each have their specific biological behaviour that differ in degree of indolence or agressiveness. “ Breast cancer” is not one disease. So some people can live for a long time because the cancer doesn’t spread, whilst others show spread to brain and lung etc and that is what causes death. This misinformation is potentially harmful. For every person that is cured miraculously, there are thousands where the disease spreads without treatment or in spite of treatment. There ar nuisances that non-medical people would not understand. Surgeons barely understand the nuisances that oncologists and pathologists spend years training to understand and practice. This video is very misleading
@@ginagray8040 absolutely it's set up that way they make billions and billions from cancer treatment. Evil. It's not conspiracy theories anymore

@@delvinmallory3427 And what torture would that be? No one forces a person to visit a doctor, use their vaccines, cures and so on. And society would probably be better for it through natural selection, where people that cant carry their own weight due to an illness, mental disorder or age will fend for themselves, in the end resulting in a population where everyone alive contributes.

I love rewatching these videos years later, not realizing i already watched them, and seeing that i already liked several comments. It happens to me far too often.
My grandfather found out he had cancer and was given around 10 years to live without treatment. He had chemo treatments for 7 years and died. Before he died he admitted to me he had wished he never would have done the chemo, he said "his life had no quality ", he suffered greatly.

My grandfather had cancer, he faded in less then a six months. Other grandfather, too (he was gone in 4 months, but he had lung cancer) . Year apart.
No treatment (chemo), no operation.

@@zerocool9772 True, but cancer has 100 percent kill rate at the most of the time.
CT scan indicated pulmonary fibrosis. Prognosis, six months to one year life expectancy. Further tests change the diagnosis to Erdheim Chester Disease, prognosis around six years.

New subbie here. Well done. I'm a victim of the DCI diagnosis, which according to the Cochrane Center is overdiagnosis leading to overtreatment. I was rushed through the system without time to think, all the while approached with panic and urgency. Then when the diagnosis finally came through, after I was over treated (with surgery), I felt lied to. I refused Tamoxifen and radiation post surgery. I showed the breast cancer oncologist and the radiation oncologist the latests articles in reputable medical journals, and they still argued with me. I was given the "scary" statistics about how this could progress to *real* cancer, but the funny thing about statistics is that their statistics were actually one of the reasons I refused the treatment.

The body tries to fight cancer naturally. It is just that some cancers spread so quickly that there is nothing our body can do to stop them by it self.
The most common form of skin cancer (Basal Cell Cancer) is just scraped off with a sharp tool. If you are extremely unlucky that form of cancer can grow inwards and leak in to the blood stream. But it is more likely to get malignant melanoma than getting a BCC tumor that spreads in to the blood stream.
"The body tries to fight cancer naturally." , no it doesn't. Cancer is a abnormal cell growth due to mutation of cell division.
On the other hand, your immune system may tries to fight bacteria/virus though.
Most of the comments basically say that if you’re diagnosed with cancer the doctors are wrong and don’t get it treated.
Yeah, people seem to have completely missed the point of the video - medicine is complicated and the nature of treatments means that IF nothing happens you might be worse off because of it. The key word being IF.
I do now believe from watching my dad suffer and die, with a terminal diagnosis I wouldn’t bother trying to prolong life. Especially if it’s agressive. He barely scraped 3 years and the final year he was so sick and it stripped him of everything. I’d rather things move quickly. I can’t help but wonder what would’ve happened if he didn’t have the chemotherapy. His death may have been much quicker and he’d have suffered less
@@user-qs9ps3hw6u some people don’t want their death to be much quicker. Even if it meant suffering for it.

Yeah, not to mention the, “I knew this one old lady that was diagnosed with cancer, didn’t get treatment, and there was no cancer when she died 20 years later”. Like, sure, she might have been like that, but there are also cases where people went, “I don’t want treatment”, and died like a year later due to cancer.
This can go the other way, too. In my case, the medical community wasn't fear mongering, they missed the cancer altogether.
I intuited my REAL breast cancer when it was stage 0. Got my mammogram and was told I didn't have cancer and that I was just "paranoid and delusional." It was in the pectoral muscle, so they missed it in the scan. The medical community FINALLY believed me when it was stage 3.
Fortunately, I'm tough, and 15 years later I'm cancer free. I don't get a scan now every year because that many scans would have probably given me...cancer.
They want to do invasive, unnecessary and potentially deadly treatments on people who have nothing wrong or something minor and unrelated, and they ignore actual signs of something truly serious and life threatening. It almost seems like they are TRYING to kill us.......🤔😏
