Cancer claims the lives of thousands of Americans every day, but it also results in tens of billions of dollars in revenue for the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Why would these industries champion a cure for the disease when they enjoy such stratospheric profits in its treatment? This is the premise of the documentary titled Cancer: The Forbidden Cures, a cynical indictment of medical establishment ethics.

The film opens with a rudimentary examination of the disease, including how it develops and spreads in the human body, and the damage it inflicts along the way. The filmmakers' main focus lies in the three mainstays of modern cancer treatment - surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Their points of view on each of these options are damning. Chemotherapy alone is a toxic compound that has been shown to produce severe illness, diminished immune system capabilities and cognition malfunction. Meanwhile, many suspect that prolonged exposure to radioactive therapies can inspire the same cancers they're employed to treat. Are these really the best solutions we have at our disposal?

Leaders in the field of oncology over a hundred years ago prescribed a treatment regimen that was largely free of toxicity and heavily reliant upon nutritional value. The film contends that all of this changed when the wealthiest members of society began making sizable donations to medical universities in exchange for placement on their boards. The financial prospects of cancer treatment started to outweigh humanitarian concerns almost overnight, according to the film's interview subjects. Drug companies prospered, the cost of additional treatment resources such as radium doubled many times over, research dollars were devoted to pharmaceutical endeavors instead of those aimed at finding a cure, critics within the medical community were discredited as "quacks", and promising alternative therapies were never given an opportunity to succeed.

The filmmakers seem too eager in their willingness to endorse those who claim to have discovered the next miraculous alternative therapy. Largely absent are the voices of those who work tirelessly and with great compassion to defeat the scourge of cancer in our lifetime, and do so while operating within the confines of the same medical establishment the film criticizes. Still, the film's premise of rampant greed working to impede the tides of true progress is valid and worthy of exploration.

  1. Thoroughly research information at 1:03 Mark. Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer (German New Medicine) His findings are scientifically sound. Those CT Scan centric rings don’t lie. ??

  2. How many of you who are against alternative treatment actually have cancer or have watched a loved one die from cancer and suffer from the side effects of chemo and radiation? I watched my father suffer through chemo and I am currently watching my mother suffer from long term side effects of radiation to her neck 7 years ago. Her teeth are currently falling out and she is having constant pain in her jaw. I am a Registered Nurse but I am totally open to alternative treatment. Learn how your cells work. Learn how your body works. Maybe then you might understand why I believe in alternative treatments. God gave us these natural resources for a reason. The pharmaceutical industry doesn’t care about you. They only care about how much money they make.

  3. Read “The Cancer Cure that Worked”. Then rethink the Western Medicine paradigm. Big Pharma, profit and greed kill.

  4. My wife was diagnosed in January of 2017 with Stage 3a breast cancer.

    Treatment with B17, B15, NO Sugar diet and only fresh greens for 60 days killed 99% of the cancer.

    An additional 60 days (to present with the B17 and B15 and reduced sugar and greens and a semblance of normal foods) and the cancer is gone.

    Biopsy and a test for Nagalase in the blood shows the range well within the normal area.

    Say what you will but an all natural way to cure cancer is 100% true. Diet is the culprit. Cells go crazy and start using sugar to operate instead of O2. For whatever reason this happens, it does, but B17 has two glucose molecules, 2 analgesics and ONE Cyanide molecule. When you starve the cancer cell of sugar it grabs the B17 and kills itself.

  7. Medical student here with my take.
    The video uses analogies of planes and phones and the progress of technology to imply that cancer research has intentionally been manipulated for profits.

    Several mutations have to occur in a cell so that it's tumor surprising genes and genes that control mitotic capacity are changed in function and where the cell isn't killed with apoptosis. This will create the first cancerous tumor but in these regulatory genes going beyond regulatory control where the epithelial cells that make up over 90% of cancers, can now grow outside of the membrane that healthy epithelial cells cannot grow outside of. In the fact that these regulatory genes don't work, they are more likely to have additional mutations that will create entirely new strains of cancer within the same individual. The more advanced a patient has cancer the further the heterogeneity of strains of cancer cells will exist in the body and can easily be seen by a cancer pathologist trained to do so. THIS IS WHY CANCER IS SO NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TREAT.

    The analogies to a phone or plane fall apart when you realize that mutation is so inherent in biology that the idea of fully eliminating or preventing cancer is impossible. The quickest we can even detect cancer right now in January of 2017 is when a cancer tumor is already a billion cells in size.

    I will say that I personally do not like the pharmaceutical industry for a multitude of reasons but lets not use this as an excuse to decent baseless conspiracy theories. These alternative cures peddled so often have yet to been shown under laboratory conditions using the scientific method to be more effective than traditional therapies. If there is a miracle cure out there I personally would love to see it because I haven't yet and as soon as someone can find one they will be billionaires a hundred times over. Of course nobody has come up with actual evidence in spite of these incredible incentives and this is why I am skeptical until the evidence actually comes forward.

  8. Why is "full body hyperthermia" not available in North America (i.e. Canada and USA)? Drug companies? Go to Dr Herzog germany or enter "Hyperthermia Mexico" on your browser and read all about it! I have a sister who went to Dr Herzog some 9 years ago. She is cancer free at the age of 87.

    You are a Troll. You fail to see that the current system is broken, hence the reason for all the concern and discussion. Most people want nothing more than quality research and development toward some kind of progress. The current institutions have been using one method of treatment for decades. Do you honestly think that people would go out of their way to search out alternative forms of treatment if the current methodology was working well.

    These snake oil treatment people you talk about are the conspiracies that big pharma likes to exploit the uneducated with. The doctors that are trying to help are the ones we never hear about because they are being silenced.

    Cancer is an industry in and of itself.

    Many people are trying to get through to you on here with no luck.

    Seems to me you need to open your eyes and do some self exploration. Maybe read a book and inform yourself, because it truly is important to have a detailed look at all sides before running your mouth.

    You act like cancer is only affecting you, you ignorant SOB.

  10. If chemotherapy is so good why is it that a recent survey was taken of american physicians who were asked one question. If you had advanced cancer would you continue with chemotherapy? The overwhelming answer was....No!!!!
    So why do physicians expect their patients to do the opposite and endure horrific chemotherapy until they're dead?

  11. The issue is, the huge pharmas, and through them the Gov will lose trillions of dollars, not to mention the increase in cancers from the chemicals we spray on our crops, GMO foods etc etc. The pharmas do not want to cure you, they want you taking their expensive pills for as long as you live. Research the increase in cancer rates from 1900 to 2017, you will be horrified

  12. Western medicine is so full of BS. Notice they are always demanding the double blind studies that prove a treatment is better? They really don't believe that as there is no shortage of regular treatments that have no studies(read the insert to the flu shot-no studies no proof it even works). Ok I had hypothyroidism and studied it for years. The standard treatment for it is synthetic T4 which replaced the former treatment of dessicated thyroid(dried ground pig thyroid made into a pill) as the treatment for hypothyroidism based on zero studies. Seriously take a look at how many articles are written by doctors telling you to synthetic T4 and a list of 10 points of why you shouldnt take desiccated thyroid. Now if you actually look at the studies that have been done 5/5 show that desiccated is superior.2-1 patient preference, and 1/2 to 1/3 of the negative side effects across the board(which wouldyou prefer to try just based on those two statements?) 100% is a very rare thing in medical studies. Synthetic T-4 was so successful it became the number one drug in the US at one point. Their makers got nailed once because they had commissioned a study to show their drug was better than the generics-it wasnt. So they tried to hide the study and got caught doing it. Class action lawsuit and the lost millions. So here is the history of how a drastically inferior treatment made it to number one. Is it really so hard to believe they really don't want a cure for cancer? Doctors sold out to Big Pharma just to make a little more cash on a pill.

  13. Hm, they seem to left out what cancer is. Odd.

    It's almost as if they want the viewer to believe that there is ONE cure for the numerous different cancers that all behave differently and cannot be treated the same without also attacking the body.

    A well... Popcorn, soda and tinfoil hat at the ready. Play!

  14. I never get why people are so against industrial medicine. They create the medicine according to how the body works. Natural remedies my a**. You can take a natural remedy and make it better by simply looking at how the mechanisms works. Period. Molecules are molecules, everything is natural.
    By the way, there is no 1 magic cure for cancer, every cancer works different. You have to optimize your medicine for different patients. If you can prove your stuff works, if your medicine can pass double blinded studies, if you have a better medicine than the one available, the scientific community will accept it. If your sh*t works you don't have to call Big Pharma to ask if you can throw it out in the open.

  15. 2 minutes on the work of Dr Hamer and that's it??! Very disappointing. And making people believe that sharks are supercreatures who don't get cancer is exactly why most of them have been killed. Other than that, it's a somewhat relevant documentary. Thanks for sharing.

  17. I think that the research for cures, should be taken out of the hands of the Pharma's who have a vested interest in repeat business.
    There has in the past, been interesting results that have been sabotaged by the medical professions with connections to the pharma interests, and using toxins is not a natural way of curing an affliction in the human body, how many animals in the wild die from cancer or other un-natural causes, they do die off from pesticides and herbicides.
    And peer review is nothing more than like minded idiots who agree with common wisdom, that isn't so common.

  18. Toutmosis,

    Thanks for your information! My research indicates that what you've encountered and been willing to share is accurate. But the biologic detail that that you have is more extensive than I was fully aware of. Like you, I have come across the same suppression techniques used in a broad range of fields: energy, medicine, politics, etc. Thanks for all your efforts to share it with people. Some, like your negative commenters either aren't willing to do their own research or are likely trolls posing as truly interested parties, or their strong defense of the sad standard AMA sanctioned medicine available to most Americans wouldn't be so intense. Having to translate everything into english would be time consuming. I have not encountered the possibility of electrical microcurrent applied to the wrist before. I have encountered foot baths using microcurrent that results in extensive detoxification. Have you heard of Harvey Bigelsen who also has had much success with his protocols based on Antoine Beuchamp's Cellular theory of disease, among others. He was also driven to Mexico as well as Gerson, and Hoxey. My mother and I have had good results with a derivative of Rife's machine. Beuchamp's approach seems to me, from my research and personal experience to be considerably more accurate than the Allopathic approach, germ theory.

    Keep up the good work! Brad

  21. I do believe that there are things big businesses don't want to cure for fear of losing money (which is, of course, more important than the lives that could have been saved), and I think that like many medicines, the cure for cancer lies in natural remedies. However, my questions is, if all of these people were so magnanimous that they wouldn't sell their cures unless they would be distributed free to everyone, why didn't they just make the recipes available to the general public? That would have removed any power that their opponents held.

  23. I have read everything that everyone said. I have to add that it is a pity that people love money so much to watch their fellow human perish every day in diseases that can be easily cured with safe natural medicines. I started researching natural medicine when my 94 years old mother was told to go on dialysis 4 years ago when she was 90 years. I was on dialysis myself and had a kidney transplant once before . I believed so much in the doctors and the hospitals, I did not know that much about natural medicines. I started researching natural medicine because I thought that my mom will not survive dialysis because of her age. I found that there were several options of natural medicine that are not toxic and have no side effect. I decided to try one for her. Six months later we went to the hospital for testing. The doctor said that my mom was healthy and her kidney function was normal. She has been on that natural medicine she drinks with juices every morning for over 4 years.

    Recently, she had abdominal pain and was bleeding. She was diagnosed with cervical cancer. I was told that it is risky for her to have surgery because of her age. Because of my extensive research, I know that chemo and radiation kill most of the cancer patients and not the cancer, so, I told the doctors that there will be no radiation or chemo for my mom. They advice me that if she has any problem I should not bring her back to the hospital. I disagreed with that.

    I started my mom on several natural medicine. I am not sure if I can mention them here. I got something to help gain body weight and muscles, another to detox the liver pathway and get the liver ready to get out the dead cancer cells, something to help direct oxygen into the cells and then started her on pure vegetable diet, no animal protein, no carbohydrate. Just two weeks the bleeding was gone completely and the pain was gone. She does not even take tylenol. Just this simple change of diet I read has cured stage one cancer for many. I just added natural medicine to help reduce tumor, another to help remove the protein from cancer cell so that it can be identified and destroyed by the natural killer, she is taking another that will help lock up the toxic that cancer cell produce when it ferment carbohydrate and sauger for energy. The toxic will be lock up inside the cancer cell and it will prevent those toxics from affecting normal cells and turning them to cancer cell and those toxic build up will also kill the cancer cells when it gets too much. She takes another one to help strengthen the immune system and keep the body strong. She takes high dosage of vitamin D and another natural medicine to help with the heart rate. For months now the pain and bleeding has been gone.

    Natural medicine works. Hospitals should try and incorporate them with their treatment instead of trying to stop it. Everyday, people are getting the awareness that these natural medicines are safe and they heal. A time will come that people that have cancer will stay away from hospitals. In the future, maybe about 40 years or less, Chemo and radiation will be a thing of the past that it supposed to already be.

    There are wonderful safe natural medicines for various diseases . Thank God for internet, you cannot keep them away from us anymore.

  24. So many victims of our federally funded education system...Even when you are confronted with the obvious...(The US Govt sold its citizens out when the "Banking Cartels" of 1913 managed to create (without the vote of Americans btw) a central banking system. Which is ironic...as its the money that is the smoking gun...as long as there are massive amounts of funds going towards: "finding the cure", scientists being funded, universities, etc...then we will continue to people dying of cancer. It's not conspiracy...when there's facts to back it up...why would ANY government make it ILLEGAL to treat cancer using any alternate methods? Wake up people...you are being fed the lies manufactured for you, enlightened through the media providers that are reporting only what they are given to report...if you can't see past the lies and the social conditioning to see that we are indeed slaves in a prison created by our "leaders" and paid for by US...then go back to watching your American Gladiators...let the rest of us plant the seeds so the future generations aren't nearly as fluoridated into passivity.

  25. Dr. Gerson was poisoned at least twice, and he died from the last poisoning. His nurse took over his practice and wrote books to keep his reports alive! When Dr. Gerson came into the USA legally and he properly setup an office, the G0V ram-sacked his office, taking his patient files, and they detained him several times. This doctor's record was clean and exemplary for healing patients of various diseases including cancer with herbs and natural organic food.

    If only we had the internet then, perhaps Big Pharmaceutical Companies wouldn't have been as trusted, and rightly so. How many people do you know that has been taking chemical drugs most of their life, and now are ailing with other symptoms? That's the power of chemical drugs.

    Natural remedies can cure you. Chemical drugs treat the symptoms and cause new ones over time. GOD gave us natural medicines for a reason!

    Now, that doesn't stop me from taking cold medicine when I need it. I've just not found the right natural remedy to give me enough relief, yet.

    However, in 1992, when a doctor was concerned about my enlarged thyroid, the test came back positive for Hypo-Thyroidism. The doctor said that I would have to take a pill everyday for the rest of my life. But, when the Holy Spirit received this news, I instantly and rather boldly laughed in the doctor's face! I was almost as embarrassed as I was amazed. I had no idea what was going on until I had left the office. Then it hit me!! I just knew that I was not thyroid sick, as that old devil tried to give to me, and I did not fill that prescription. Instead, I followed up with a new doctor, after I moved to Celina, and I asked him to test my thyroid too. He asked why and I told him of my results just a few months ago. So, he ran the test, which came back negative. Then he told me that something must have been wrong with that test because Thyroid issues just do not disappear. I replied, "All things are possible when you know God!", and he looked at me strange. I told him that he should request those test results because I believe that God wants to show him something. He replied that he has seen some of God's work. I answered, "Me too, that's why I'm drug free!!"
