Episode 1: The Cancer Pandemic<br />
impossible to predict a clinical—<strong>the</strong> clinical response of <strong>the</strong> five drugs.<br />
Okay.<br />
So that’s why it’s all a guessing game. They give a drug for this and a<br />
drug for that and <strong>the</strong>n you end up giving drugs for <strong>the</strong> symptoms caused<br />
by drugs. And it’s really—it’s an awful spiral. Now <strong>the</strong>re’s a place for<br />
some drugs sometimes but I generally think of <strong>the</strong>m as a band-aid to get<br />
people over a hump before <strong>the</strong>y can figure out how to get <strong>the</strong>ir body<br />
responding like it’s supposed to. Even in this weekend’s presentations<br />
down in Miami <strong>the</strong>y were showing research that said—now, first of all,<br />
<strong>the</strong> patients do not die of <strong>cancer</strong>. Seldom do <strong>the</strong>y die of <strong>cancer</strong>. They<br />
die of complications from <strong>cancer</strong> treatment. Okay. That’s just what<br />
happens.<br />
Ty: So this explains why doctors now use drugs as a band-aid, as<br />
KC just said, instead of getting to <strong>the</strong> root cause of disease. I had<br />
to travel to North Carolina to see Dr. Rashid Buttar to get his take<br />
on this very important topic.<br />
Dr. Rashid Buttar: Cancer is not <strong>the</strong> problem. Cancer is <strong>the</strong> symptom.<br />
If you want to look at it from a car analogy--I don't know why everybody<br />
seems to understand analogies when we use cars—<strong>cancer</strong> is a flashing<br />
light on <strong>the</strong> dashboard. And <strong>the</strong> reason chemo and radiation and<br />
surgery don’t work is because everybody’s taking a hammer. They’re<br />
taking a hammer to that flashing light on <strong>the</strong> dashboard and that’s…<br />
Ty: The check engine light—<strong>the</strong> check engine light you’re talking<br />
<strong>about</strong><br />
Dr. Rashid Buttar: Exactly! The checking engine light, <strong>the</strong> flashing<br />
that’s saying <strong>the</strong>re’s a problem with <strong>the</strong> engine. So everybody says I can<br />
fix that and <strong>the</strong>y’re hitting that light but that’s not going to fix <strong>the</strong> engine.<br />
So my question to patients is very simple, if you took your car to a<br />
mechanic and <strong>the</strong>re was a flashing check engine light on your car and<br />
<strong>the</strong> mechanic says, yeah, I can fix that and takes <strong>the</strong> fuse out, okay, and<br />
says, okay, now your problem is solved. Or, I’ve got a knocking in my<br />
engine. Okay. Well here, turn up <strong>the</strong> radio. Do you hear it now Well, I<br />
can kind of still hear it. Here, put some ear muffs on. Yeah, no. Now I<br />
don’t hear it. Okay. Perfect! You haven’t done anything to <strong>the</strong> engine.<br />
But you’ve…<br />
Ty: I would fire <strong>the</strong> mechanic.<br />
