I have related the sad but not strange case story of Gene in Part 1 of this three-part article. What had happened to Gene is what I have been seeing take place all too often. After chemotherapy and radiotherapy the cancer disseminate to the bone. I have often times wondered if the treatments had anything to do with the metastasis. Not much data may be received from the medical literature. It appears that such question is not important? Or is it a matter of “natural course of event”? I tend to think otherwise. Read when it comes to radiotherapy in any frequent textbook and it is acknowledged that radiation itself may cause cancer. In Gene’s case, it is even acknowledged that the increased uptake of tracer seen in L3, L4 and L5 vertebrae is most likely due to DXT. Medical people use medical terms that may be hard for a layperson to understand. So the data written in a medical report often goes unnoticed or not understood. DXT is medical abbreviation for deep X-ray treatment or radiotherapy and this statement above explicitly implicates the disastrous role of radiotherapy in treating Gene’s breast cancer. It has done much harm. Are we to believe that Gene is just one rare unfortunate victim. I don’t believe that this is so. Dr. Richard Evans (in The Cancer Breakthrough You’ve Never Heard Of) wrote: “It is my opinion that adjuvant radiation is applied more oftentimes than necessary … The long-term risks of radiation therapy have not been completely determined.” John Robbins has to say in his book (Reclaiming Our Health) “Radiation is routinely commended for cancer persons who requires medical care in spite of the fact that there is no proven gain to survival … Although cancer specialists know that very few cancer people who are in need of medical care are cured by radiotherapy, they carry on to commend it widely because they consider it to be a comparatively harmless procedure.” In the booklet, Radiation Therapy and You, published by the US National Cancer Institute, the following assurances are given: “Although a great deal of normal cells are affected by the radiation, most of them appear to recover more totally from the effects of radiation than the cancer cells. Doctors cautiously limit the intensity of the treatment and the area being treated so that the cancer will be affected more than the normal healthful tissues. Radiation therapy is an effective way to treat some kinds of cancer in any share of the body.” This is the official version of the “goodness” of radiotherapy. Do you believe it? Hear what other doctors have to say when it comes to radiotherapy. John Cairns, a professor at the Harvard University School of Public Health (in Scientific American, November 1985) said: “The majority of cancers can not be cured by radiation because the dose of X-rays required to kill the cancer cells would likewise kill the patient.” John Lee et. al. (in What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer) wrote: “Radiation reduces (breast cancer) death by 13.2 percent, it increments death from other causes, for the most part heart disease by 21.2 percent. The apparent conclusion is: the treatment was a success but the patient died!” Dr. Seymour Brenner, a radiologist from Brooklyn, New York, said: “After thirty-nine years, I have see no substantial progress … I see millions of humans dying in five years … I am tired of looking at humans come to my office and plead for their lives and I have not one thing to offer them. Dr. Ralph Moss (in The Cancer Industry) wrote: “Radiation therapy appears to be of fixed value in the treatment of cancer. There is little controversy over the number of people who are in need of medical care being cured by radiotherapy – it is little … Some researchers believe that the use of radiation is not only inefficient but likewise is perhaps destructive … It is share of a disastrous national policy that has always downplayed the hazards of radiation, while furthering it is disseminate to each corner of the country. Dr. Francisco Contreras, conductor of the Oasis of Hope Hospital described radiation as an act of desperation. In his book, Health in the 21st Century: Will Doctors Survive? he wrote: “Radiation therapy, in which we placed so much faith a few decades ago, has proven to be another medical blunder. My brother, Dr. Ernesto Contreras Jr., an oncologist and radio-therapist said, after twenty-five years of medical practice, “It is genuinely discouraging and hindering … The effectiveness of the treatment versus cancer is doubtful. I have treated thousands of persons who requires medical care … and I can’t say that more than fifteen percent of them have positive response to an orthodox treatment.” |

Some info plus a sales pitch
By kitree
This is a topic I’m very interested in and have read quite a bit about. So I was looking forward to reading this book. While it did contain some interesting information, it was all aimed toward supporting the authors’ own products. There can be a fine line here.
For example, while The Pericone Prescription (written by Dr. Pericone who did a PBS fund raiser) also mentioned his products and supplements, it was very heavy on information. Based on that information it was possible to re-create his entire program without using any of his products. However The Gene Makeover doesn’t do the same thing. I’d go as far as to say it was an infomercial, although one with fewer testimonials and more real information, yet nevertheless it was an advertisement for their program.
I felt cheated that I’d paid good money for this cosmetically treated sales vehicle. To be fair there was useable information regarding nutritional supplements that could be used, but those were not the real core of what they implied could be done. For that benefit it appeared you had to contact them. They crossed the line, and I’d never read anything by these authors again.

I recently received THE GENE MAKEOVER as a gift. I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN! My interest in this subject is due to a bad genetic makeup. Here is a book filled with breakthrough anti-ageing information that is very user friendly. Finally someone is telling me that I no longer have to be a victim to my genetic inheritance. I can take charge of the quality of my life. The book clearly creates a path to optimal health. When was the last time you heard a Doctor say “be aware of your new day” or “breathe deeply and slowly”? This book is the perfect combination of medical, physical and holistic steps that I will certainly use to control my health and well being.
