“If cancer specialists were to admit publicly that chemotherapy is of limited usefulness and is often dangerous, the public might demand a radical change in direction-possibly toward unorthodox and nontoxic methods, and toward cancer prevention. ...The use of chemotherapy is even advocated by those members of the establishment who realize how ineffective and dangerous it can be.” IfsUseMightRealizingDangerousDemandMembersMethodCancerRadicalEstablishmentUsefulnessSpecialistsPreventionChemotherapyRadical ChangeUnorthodox Book:The Cancer Industry: The Classic Exposé on the Cancer Establishment Source: The Cancer Industry: The Classic Exposé on the Cancer Establishment
