🚩The era of chemotherapy as medicine’s blunt instrument must end.

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong Exposes the Harsh Truth About Chemotherapy:
A Legacy of Profit Over Progress
.
For decades, chemotherapy has been the cornerstone of cancer treatment, hailed as a life-saving intervention. Yet beneath the surface lies a troubling reality—one rooted in outdated science, corporate interests, and a fundamental misunderstanding of human biology.
.
The origins of chemotherapy trace back to the 1940s, born from the deadly nitrogen mustard gas used in World Wars I and II. Researchers observed its cell-killing effects and repurposed it, marking the birth of a multi-billion-dollar industry. Institutions like Sloan Kettering emerged, refining these toxic agents in pursuit of a delicate balance: killing cancer without killing the patient. But in their quest, they overlooked a critical truth embedded in human evolution—the natural killer cell.
.
For 450 million years, our bodies have relied on natural killer cells and T-cells to combat disease, including cancer. Yet this innate defense system was only discovered in the 1990s, long after chemotherapy became the standard. Instead of harnessing these evolutionary safeguards, medicine doubled down on chemical warfare, using models like the NCI’s "nude mouse"—an artificially immune-deficient creature—to test treatments that would later devastate human immune systems.
.
Drugs like Taxol, developed by Bristol Myers and the National Cancer Institute, became staples despite their brutal side effects. Dissolved in castor oil and delivered intravenously, Taxol carried a black-box warning for fatal anaphylactic shock—a risk still present today. Worse, chemotherapy indiscriminately annihilates the body’s natural defenses, crippling the very cells designed to fight cancer.
.
The future of oncology lies not in profit-driven poisons but in unlocking the power of our immune systems. The natural killer cell—a biological marvel honed over millennia—holds the key to defeating cancer without self-destruction. It’s time to abandon the primitive tools of the past and embrace the wisdom of evolution.
.
The era of chemotherapy as medicine’s blunt instrument must end. The real cure has been inside us all along.
