Chemotherapy for Testicular Cancer Causes Long Term Neurological Damage

Chemotherapy for Testicular Cancer Causes Long Term Neurological Damage, in other words, chemo therapy is poison. In the November 25th, 2009, issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute contains a report about the long term side effects experienced by men who received cisplatin based chemotherapy for testicular cancer.

Severe neurological side effects, discoloration of the hands and feet when exposed to the cold (like Raynaud), tinnitus, and impaired hearing were found to be common in men who received chemotherapy as opposed to those who did not.

This study was done with men who received cancer treatment between 1980 and 1994. They were given follow up surveys between 1998 and 2002 to assess their conditions after their treatment.

The Results of The Chemotherapy

The study found that in the decades following their treatment, men who received any form of chemotherapy were significantly more likely to be experiencing long term negative side effects as a result of their treatment.

39 percent of men reported Raynaud like phenomena
29 percent reported paresthesias in the hands or feet
21 percent reported hearing impairment
22 percent reported tinnitus symptoms

The correlation between high rates of long term neurological damage and chemotherapy was verified by Marianne Brydoy, M.D., from Haukeland University’s Department of Oncology in Norway.

For those of you who are looking at testicular cancer and have decided on chemotherapy, experts hope to minimize the toxic side effects of chemotherapy by reformulating the levels of cisplatin used in chemotherapy treatment. According to their research, 20 mg/m2 a day is the maximum safe dosage of the drug.

I have had chemotherapy and I will not take it again. Chemotherapy is poison. Chemo may at seem to be working by shrinking a tumor, it is in fact a systemic poison that will inevitably destroy cells throughout the body, most notably in the brain, heart, liver and kidneys. I hope that most of you will reread that last sentence.

Those of you who still believe Western medicine…the way to protect yourself from these devastating effects of chemotherapy is to take protective nutritional supplements before undergoing chemo treatments.

Now, some oncologists will warn patients against consuming such nutritional supplements by citing one of their standard myths of the cancer industry: “Nutritional supplements block the chemotherapy….”

Nothing could be farther from the truth. Just think about it…how can eating right be bad for you or taking vitamins be bad for you? Poppy-pock!

There is absolutely no scientific research to back up such a false statenent. No credible scientific study has ever found that antioxidants or other immune boosting supplements impede chemotherapy treatments, in any way.

In all actuality, many supplements potentiate the chemo for cancer cells while simultaneously reducing its toxic effects on healthy cells.

But then cancer doctors are not nutritionists, are they. Their job is poisoning people with chemotherapy, from the word “get go…”.

Baby Boomers, Chemotherapy for Testicular Cancer Causes Long Term Neurological Damage, so combat it with good nutritions, antioxidents and vitimins. Be ready to fight for your life. I have been there, I know. I am a cancer survivor. You can a survivor too.
