This Study says Radiation Therapy Can Make Cancers 30x Worse Malignant

Research now proving conventional cancer treatment with chemotherapy and radiation as a major contributing cause of cancer patient mortality.
It has been reported by the Researchers from the Department of Radiation Oncology at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center that radiation treatment can kill half of all tumor cells but it also transforms cancer cells into treatment-resistant breast cancer stem cells. Researchers have discovered that even when radiation kills half of the tumor cells treated, there are surviving cells which have become resistant to treatment, these are known as induced breast cancer stem cells (iBCSCs), and were up to 30 times more likely to form tumors than the non-irradiated breast cancer cells. Basically, the radiation treatment regresses the total population of cancer cells, this give the false appearance that the treatment is working, but what it’s actually doing is increasing the ratio of highly malignant to benign cells within that tumor, this will eventually lead to the iatrogenic (treatment-induced) death of the patient.

“When we look at early-stage cancer patients, we compare patients receiving exactly the same treatment, and some fail and some are cured, and we can’t predict who those patients will be,” says Frank Pajonk, MD, PhD, the study’s senior author and an associate professor of radiation oncology and Jonsson Cancer Center researcher.
Radiotherapy has also shown to increase cancer stem cells in the prostate, this can result in the cancer recurring and a worsened prognosis. Cancer stem cells may also explain why castration therapy often fails in prostate cancer treatment.
Following on the heels of revelations that x-ray mammography may be contributing to an epidemic of future radiation-induced breast cancers, in a new article titled, “Radiation Treatment Generates Therapy Resistant Cancer Stem Cells From Aggressive Breast Cancer Cells,” published in the journal Cancer July 1^st, 2012, researchers from the Department of Radiation Oncology at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center report that radiation treatment actually drives breast cancer cells into greater malignancy.

The researchers’ continue to work and have began to identify the pathways and several classes of drugs that can prevent this process from occurring.  They have identified 2 different targets and drugs that could help prevent it. The group has published their results of the study in breast cancer but also has made similar observations in both glioblastoma and head and neck cancer.
In a study by Dr. Pajonk and colleagues removed the smaller pool of BCSCs and then irradiated the rest of the breast cancer cells and put them in mice. They observed the initial generation into iBCSCs in response to the radiation treatment through a unique imaging system. The new cells were very similar to the BCSCs that had been found in tumors that had not been irradiated. They also found that these iBCSCs had a more than x30 increased ability to form tumors than the nonirradiated breast cancer cells.

Dr. Pajonk says the study does not discredit radiation therapy. “Patients come to me scared by the idea that radiation generates these cells, but it truly is the safest and most effective therapy there is.”

So according to mainstream medicine even though radiation therapy causes more cancer than it kills they still claim that radiation is the only and safest way to combat cancer, but anyone who has been paying attention will know of other natural cures, ie hemp oil, controlling your body’s pH around 7.5, positive mental attitude and apricot seeds (b 17), vitamin C etc. All of these natural cures need more research but are sadly ignored by mainstream medicine to the point of lawsuit and ridicule despite the thousands of personal experiences and testimonials available with simple search engine searches.
