 Dear Reader,
When you're being treated for cancer, particularly late- stage cancer, you're looking for a miracle.
In seeking that miracle, it's pretty common to put your trust in modern medicine. But is that trust misplaced? (Regular readers can probably guess what the answer is going to be.)
For 1 in 8 patients (about 13 per cent — which adds up to a LOT of people), the answer is, as you suspected, yes.
US researchers at the University of Chicago recently looked at medical and pharmaceutical claims from patients with late-stage colon cancer treated between 2007 and 2010.
They found that 1 in 8 of those patients were given drugs that would never help them, but could actually cause them harm. Of the three specific treatments at which the researchers looked, one had insufficient data to support using it, the second was not supported by any data, and one had actually been shown to be ineffective.
And yet doctors just kept giving them to patients, with costs for those patients being extremely high... for exposure to what the researchers called "significant risk."
I think the mainstream has this "providing a miracle" thing a little bit backward.
The researchers seem to agree, pointing out that patients shouldn't be subjected to the risk, ill effects, and cost of "often quite toxic chemotherapy" with treatments that aren't showing any benefit.
Now, if we could just get people to extend that thinking to ANYONE being subjected to that "quite toxic" chemotherapy.

Aspirin-free heart protection
Q: I have good heart health, but I still want to reduce my risk of having a heart attack. My doctor recommends a daily aspirin, of course. What do you think?
Dr. Jonathan V. Wright: A daily aspirin is certainly not the best option.
Our regular readers have heard me say it before, but I'm still far behind in getting my message across, so I'm going to say it again: Fish oil reduces heart attack risk as well or better and has many other beneficial effects that aspirin just can't match.
Both aspirin and fish oil reduce the inflammation in your cardiovascular system. But aspirin reduces your risk of heart attack by interfering with blood clotting, or platelet aggregation. Fish oil, on the other hand, reduces your risk of heart attack by literally doing a "lube job" on your platelets, so they can't stick together abnormally.
Fish oil also reduces your risk of sudden cardiac death, reduces abnormally high triglycerides, increases HDL ("good") cholesterol, and decreases abnormally high levels of fibrinogen (another independent cardiovascular risk factor). Aspirin doesn't have any of these additional benefits.
For adults, I recommend at least 1 tablespoon of fish oil every day, and, if your cardiovascular risk is elevated, take 1 tablespoon twice daily. I usually recommend cod liver oil, since it also supplies a substantial amount of vitamin D. Don't forget to take 400 IU of vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) daily for each tablespoonful of fish oil. And make sure that the brand of fish oil you use has no heavy metals, especially mercury, and is free of other toxins.
Bear in mind we are not addressing anyone's personal situation and you should rely on this for informational purposes only. Please consult with your own doctor before acting on any recommendations contained herein.
Wishing you the best of health,
