ARTICLE - "THE TRUTH ABOUT CHEMOTHERAPY - TOXIC POISON OR CANCER CURE?"

THE TRUTH ABOUT CHEMOTHERAPY – 
TOXIC POISON OR CANCER CURE?
By Ty Bollinger

Do you remember the “Mad Hatter” from Alice and Wonderland? Did you know that the term “mad as a hatter” originated from a disease peculiar to the hat making industry in the 1800s?

A complicated set of processes was needed to turn fur into a finished hat. With cheaper fur, an early step was to brush a solution of mercury compound on the fur to roughen the fibers. This caused the hat makers to breathe in the fumes of this highly toxic metal, leading to an accumulation of mercury in the hatter’s bodies.

This resulted in trembling (known as “hatters’ shakes”), slurred speech, loss of coordination, anxiety, personality changes, depression, and memory loss which eventually became known as “Mad Hatter Syndrome.” This term is still used today to describe mercury poisoning.

Fast forward 200 years, and let’s focus on pharmacists rather than hat makers…
Back in September 2004, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) released a dangerous-drug alert with the title Preventing Occupational Exposures to Antineoplastic and Other Hazardous Drugs in Health Care SettingsThe alert warned that working with chemotherapy drugs and other common pharmaceuticals can be a serious danger to your health.

They were right because on July 10, 2010, the Seattle Times carried the story of Sue Crump, a veteran pharmacist of 20 years, who had spent much of her time dispensing chemotherapy drugs. Sue died in 2011 from pancreatic cancer and one of her dying wishes was that the truth be told about how her on-the-job exposure to toxic chemotherapy drugs caused her own cancer. The list of chemicals Crump worked with included cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, and methotrexate.

Does Chemotherapy Cause Cancer?
I am not surprised by Sue’s story because one of the effects of chemotherapy is that it actually CAUSES cancer! (Yes, the very thing it is supposed to “cure” it literally causes. Insane, right?)
