Last night I had the chance to be with friends who were well off. For most people they might be classified as relatively rich. The husband was worried about his wife. She was so young at 49 and at the same time had colon cancer. Mrs. P. had had colon surgery, 1 full round of chemotherapy, and after a year was now on her 2nd round of chemotherapy. Seems like “they” won’t stop offering her chemotherapy until she’s done for.
Ah the woe of being rich. Or the woe of being able to afford chemotherapy… allegedly to treat colon cancer. The woe of the rich begins in their hubris. They actually believe the hucksters in white coats when they sell expensive luxury items such as chemotherapy. The rich believe in “you get what you pay for.” Unfortunately, in the case of this colon cancer, just because it has a high price tag and you can afford it does not mean it is the best… for those of us in the know… given the same prices for ALL OPTIONS under the sun… the chemotherapy for colon cancer is the WORST option… even doing NOTHING is a BETTER OPTION!
One look at this woman, the colon cancer victim, being victimized more with chemotherapy… she looks old, she looks hagard, her skin had darkened, her belly is swollen, she has liver spots on her face… she does not look healthy at all. And I thought the point of treating someone for cancer was to make them HEALTHY? Seems like this chemotherapy is going in the OPPOSITE direction!
I had talked with the grown up son and he says the problem is that his dad is totally sold on chemotherapy. The problem is his mom is totally sold on chemotherapy as well. If that is the case, then she will most probably die. If not in this 2nd round, maybe the 3rd round of chemotherapy.
Did you know only the rich can afford chemotherapy in this country? The son tells me his mother needs 6 shots of chemotherapy to complete 1 round of treatment. Each shot of chemotherapy costs P 250,000. Sure, they can afford it. And that is their woe. Woe to the rich because they can afford chemotherapy. Woe to the rich because they will gladly pay to slowly poison themselves.
Hell, I wouldn’t accept chemotherapy for myself even if you paid me a billion dollars.
Blessed are the poor because they cannot afford the poison. Take my wife’s uncle who had kidney cancer and was urinating blood. He couldn’t afford chemotherapy and had asked his rich sister for assistance. Fortunately his rich sister already knew the chemotherapy game and real cancer cure she told him NO WAY to chemotherapy, come to Manila and we will teach you how it’s done. So now he is well.
Take my uncle who is suspected of having lung cancer. He went to Manila to be able to see me and be educated how to cure himself of cancer. He went back to the province and is now doing his thing. I expect him to get well and live a good strong live beyond his 90s.
So do the rich just want to pay? Sure thing. If you had been poisoned or butchered already by the white coats, you need more attention and care. Take a vacation at Vander Gaditano’s healing farm. He will do the same thing I teach and care for my own relatives plus he is a professional who has been doing this for 30 years. He will gladly charge you P 15,000 a day which includes all the food and lodging and health expertise. So a month’s stay may cost you P 450,000. That’s too cheap compared to chemotherapy. But it’s a hell of a lot more effective. Maybe I should tell Vander to charge more? The rich would like that.
