The War on Cancer has Failed
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/24/health/policy/24cancer.html?_r=1
In two independent studies, the five year survival rate for 22 different cancers was only 2% in both the US and Australia if chemo drugs alone were used for treatment. Since chemo drugs are the major treatment for cancer, it is clear that they do not provide much hope for the long term treatment of cancer.
President Obama has pledged to cure cancer during the course of his administration. Former President Nixon made the same promise. These promises are a joke. Throwing money at cancer research is not going to accomplish anything. We already have numerous treatments for cancer, but their effectiveness is reduced by resistance. As we will discuss in the following essay, the effectiveness of a diversity of chemo drugs can be increased by 10 to 100 times by the anti-depressant drug Prozac. Cancer does not have to be a fatal disease.
Stayed tuned...

Dr. Steve, Given your recent experience (with the flu? not sure exactly what precipitated your health crisis) and the looming threat of flu pandemic, would love to see you address this topic. Do you think inhaled methyl jasmonate a possible treatment for severe flu or pneumonia? My understanding is that most people from 1918 flu epidemic died from cytokine storm; others died mostly from dehydration; and others from being unable to expectorate mucus, literally suffocating. Can you comment? Thanks, Lisa Marie
Steve, glad to see you're back again...
I'm assuming that you're taking selenium at the moment. Are you on the 1000 ug per day dose? How do you take it - a single daily dose or four divided doses? With or without food?
How things improve quickly.
I mentioned Prozac to my wife's oncologist. He said a lot of his patients take Prozac. Why didn't he see some effect? As he does with everything nonconventional, he dismissed it. I wonder what the effective dose in humans might be since it has only been tested in mice?
