A tidal wave of cancer cases is expected to sweep the globe by 2050, jumping 77 percent between now and then, a new study says.
About 20 million cases of cancer were diagnosed in 2022, but that number is projected to balloon to more than 35 million cases by 2050, thanks in part to rising obesity rates and junk food diets. Continue reading

One of the cruelest things about being injured by a pharmaceutical is the degree to which doctors will deny the idea that the injury happened (as acknowledging it requires them to accept the shortcomings of the medical model they’ve invested their lives into). This denial is known as medical gaslighting and it is often so powerful that friends and family members of the patient will adopt the reality asserted by those doctors and likewise gaslight the injured patient. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen this tragedy transpire in my immediate circle and one of my missions here has been to bring awareness to medical gaslighting and explain why it always happens (i.e., it was discussed in detail HERE).

October 15, 2010 ~ Every so often we feel the need to bring this column back to the forefront… after all – Dr. William D. Kelley is the reason that this site was developed for him back in the year 2000. We honor his legacy and continue to battle for the victims of this dreaded dis-ease – to this very day. We thank researcher Paul Fassa for his continued efforts. ~ Ed.
During the 1960s, a small town Texas dentist discovered a way to cure his terminal pancreatic cancer; he then proceeded to cure others of all kinds of cancers until the Medical Mafia struck him down. His name was William Donald Kelley, DDS, MS.
His procedure involved diet, heavy pancreatic enzyme dosing, and liver detoxing with coffee enemas. Dr. Kelley died in 2005 at the age of 79. His restored and greatly expanded book, Victory Over Cancer without Surgery, Chemotherapy or Radiation covers his therapy. Continue reading
* Cases of colon cancer are rising in younger people.
* Certain lifestyle factors can help reduce the risk of developing the disease.
* Dr. Michael Shusterman, a gastrointestinal oncologist, does these three easy things to help lower his risk.
Colon cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death in US men under 50 and the second deadliest cancer for women of the same age.
Rates of the disease have been rising in younger people since the ’90s, according to the American Cancer Society, and the total medical cost of colorectal-cancer care in the US was $24.3 billion in 2020, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
While experts still don’t know exactly what’s behind the uptick in cases, and certain factors such as genetics are out of our control, there are some lifestyle choices that could lower the risk of developing colon cancer, Dr. Michael Shusterman, a gastrointestinal medical oncologist at NYU Langone’s Perlmutter Cancer Center on Long Island, told Business Insider.

Being a physician has been a joyful but demanding endeavor, perhaps more challenging now than ever before. Patients armed with the latest information gleaned from social media sources often confront doctors with misinformation they’ve just read about. Doctors are stressed keeping up with medical advances that increase exponentially, doubling the amount of new knowledge every 2-3 months. The business of medicine requires many hours of paperwork, stealing time from direct patient interactions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) may help with that burden but creates its own challenges.

The particular type of thyroid tumour has been downgraded from cancer to stop unnecessary treatment for patients
Thyroid cancer can become metastatic when cancer cells originating in the thyroid gland spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system (tissue, vessels, and organs carrying white blood cells back to the bloodstream). Only 3% of cases are metastatic at the time of diagnosis.
Once thyroid cancer metastasizes, it can affect various organs and tissues. Early detection of thyroid cancer is important to start treatment and improve outcomes. Thyroidectomy(removal of the thyroid gland) and other treatments may be performed to prevent metastasis and potentially cure thyroid cancer.
Most thyroid cancer cases (64%) are diagnosed while the cancer is localized in the thyroid, and 30% when it has spread only to regional lymph nodes but not to distant sites.
This article will review the most common sites of metastasis, the symptoms associated with metastatic disease, the types of thyroid cancer, and their progression. Continue reading
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a popular class of heartburn drugs, are linked to stomach cancer, a recent review found.
The review indicates that prolonged use of PPIs – exceeding three months – “is significantly associated with an elevated risk of cancer,” while shorter-term usage “appears to pose a comparatively lower risk,” the authors wrote.
PPIs are potent drugs that lower stomach acidity. They work by binding irreversibly to proton pumps – proteins in the stomach that release protons, a component of stomach acid. This action prevents the secretion of protons. Continue reading
A new study shows that a common oral bacterium linked to a virulent form of colorectal cancer could be driving tumor growth.
The discovery was made in a study published March 20 in Nature. Researchers from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center performed a variety of tests on human stool samples and mice to document the transfer of this bacterium, Fusobacterium nucleatum, which occurred in about half of the colorectal cancers in tumors removed from 200 patients.
Colorectal cancer causes the second-highest number of cancer deaths in U.S. adults, according to the American Cancer Society. In 2024, it’s expected to take the lives of more than 53,000 people. Continue reading
Everyone knows someone who has experienced the terrible disease that is cancer. It’s an unfortunate reality, but it’s one wherein we must live. What can make cancer so much worse is the aggressive, life-altering treatments that often follow, like radiation and chemotherapy.
While some cancer treatments are becoming more advanced, less aggressive, and not as invasive, we put an immense amount of faith in doctors to guide us in the right direction. So, what happens when individuals considered top, world-renowned doctors break that trust and weaken that faith?
That is exactly what happens to hundreds of patients when one doctor’s lies came unhinged and uncovered for the world to see in 2013.
An oncologist in Michigan by the name of Dr. Farid Fata operated numerous upscale clinics in Detroit-area suburbs. In 2013, however, he was accused of and arrested for giving cancer treatment drugs to patients who did not need them, some of whom did not even have cancer. Continue reading
There are two major reasons we don’t have a cure for cancer. Why despite a 40 55 (Ed.) year old “war” on the disease survival rates haven’t increased one bit. The governmental meddling of the National Institutes of Health and The National Cancer Institute along with the FDA have made it difficult, if not impossible, for doctors with breakthrough cancer therapies to bring their healing discoveries to those who need them. The orthodox medical establishment is hell-bent on destroying anyone who dares to challenge the status quo on cancer treatment.
Even though we have lost the war on cancer, we continue to use and promote the very methods that don’t work while banishing those who try non-pharmaceutical modalities to the scrap heap of healing. Continue reading
Nobody welcomes a cancer diagnosis. While some would rather know and get started on treatment right away, others may choose to avoid doctors and turn a blind eye to unusual symptoms.
But ignorance is far from bliss in this example. Wherever you land on this spectrum, you should know which symptoms should be evaluated. Early detection relies on your proactivity and the faster you consult your trusted doctor, the better chance you have of beating some of these insidious diseases. Continue reading
BEWARE: Colonoscopys cause more deaths than they cure and cannot detect cancer
Doctors do not recommend routine colonoscopy to diagnose people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, they may refer individuals to rule out other conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
IBS is a functional gastrointestinal disorder that can cause changes in bowel movements, such as diarrhea, constipation, or both. Someone with IBS needs to discuss the risks of having a colonoscopy and the alternatives that may be available. Continue reading
In a new experiment, researchers found that individuals with distinguishing qualities of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, like difficulty regulating where they focus their attention, and restlessness, have better foraging strategies than those with more neurotypical traits.
The findings have researchers speculating that ADHD evolved as an adaptive survival strategy – one that hinders resource exploitation in the same spot and instead favors exploration of new spots. This could possibly explain why ADHD is so prevalent in the human population today, impacting hundreds of millions worldwide. Continue reading
An innovative imaging technique helps visualize in real-time how high doses of ibuprofen affect the integrity of red blood cells.
Scientists have now provided real time, label-free images of red blood cells deforming immediately after exposure to high doses of the drug ibuprofen.
“Initially, we were interested in finding the answer to a few simple questions,” explained Peter Nirmalraj, a biophysicist at Empa Laboratories, Switzerland, and a contributor to the study. “Is there a dosage dependent effect of over-the-counter drugs, such as ibuprofen, on red blood cells? If yes, could it be qualitatively and quantitatively capture this effect in a label-free manner?” Continue reading
Group of school children wearing face masks in education center during Covid-19 pandemic.
The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) has come up with a new ploy to generate more interest in childhood vaccines: a contest for children called “Protect Me With 3+.”
According to reports, the campaign is aimed at young children and teenagers to indoctrinate them into the “benefits” of vaccines. Using posters and videos, Protect Me With 3+ is all about “educating New Jersey communities,” the NJDOH says, about why everyone needs to get injected with vaccines. Continue reading
