Mesothelioma - The questionable ethics of the American Cancer Society. Do you trust them? The "non-profit American Cancer Society (ACS) holds an outrageous amount of $ 1 billion in cash and equivalents. Why a society participation nonprofit such a huge amount of their donations in cash?
In 1995, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Arizona chapter had spent 95% of public donations to pay their own salaries and overhead, and falsely made the amount they spent on services for patients from ten times the actual amount. In 2007, Dan Wiant section of Chicago has been arrested by the FBI for the transfer of seven million dollars in donations for his own Swiss bank account under the guise of research grants. In 1985, Miriam Grubard, the head of the section of New York, was indicted on tax fraud charges relating to donors receiving fraudulent tax deductions. As a national company which has no control over his state of many chapters, I wonder how much a billion dollars in annual donations National frankly spent helping defeat cancer.
The entire ACS, chemotherapy is at the top of the list followed by radiotherapy. They argue that "Mainstream treatments for cancer such as radiation, chemotherapy and surgery can be unpleasant. But they have been scientifically tested and proven to work for the treatment of cancer. "
But the opposite side of this argument is Dr. Ulrich Abel. It is biostatitician, specializing in the research against cancer which met one of the most comprehensive studies statistics on chemotherapy. His research concluded that chemotherapy was carried out was described by one word: "terrible". He said that faith in the efficacy of chemotherapy could not be confirmed by science.
Take one more step down this path and you find shady AstraZeneca. AstraZeneca is a pharmaceutical company with sales of cancer-related 5 billion dollars in 2008. It was previously owned by Imperial Chemical Industries, an international producer of industrial chemicals and carcinogenic pesticides. He promised $ 10 million to the ACS to establish 50 sites patient with cancer across the United States to help cancer patients receive cancer AstraZeneca products.
So in summary, we have a company of chemicals that cause cancer that established carcinogenic chemicals, become a processor of multi-billion dollar cancer, which is now in partnership with a nonprofit organization cancer fraud, sending cancer patients to treatment facilities that have jointly sell their own products against cancer. Are you still suspect?
"We have a multi-billion dollars and kill people, right and left, just for financial gain. The idea of research is whether two doses of this poison is better than three doses of this poison. "Glen Warner, MD, oncologist
It is so questionable ethical breeches that here one has to question what is the real purpose of the American Cancer Society is. Are they guide patients with cancer treatment safer and more effective or are they just giving them the most profitable treatments without considering what is best for the patient?
