In 2016, an estimated 1,685,210 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States and 595,690 people will die from the disease.The most common cancers in 2016are projected to be breast cancer, lung and bronchus cancer, prostate cancer, colon and rectum cancer, bladder cancer, melanoma of the skin, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, thyroid cancer, kidney and renal pelvis cancer, leukemia, endometrial cancer, and pancreatic cancer.The number of new cases of cancer (cancer incidence) is 454.8 per 100,000 men and women per year (based on 2008-2012 cases).The number of cancer deaths (cancer mortality) is 171.2 per 100,000 men and women per year (based on 2008-2012 deaths).Cancer mortality is higher among men than women (207.9 per 100,000 men and 145.4 per 100,000 women). It is highest in African American men (261.5 per 100,000) and lowest in Asian/Pacific Islander women (91.2 per 100,000). (Based on 2008-2012 deaths.)The number of people living beyond a cancer diagnosis reached nearly 14.5 million in 2014 and is expected to rise to almost 19 million by 2024.Approximately 39.6 percent of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes (based on 2010-2012 data).In 2014, an estimated 15,780 children and adolescents ages 0 to 19 were diagnosed with cancer and 1,960 died of the disease.National expenditures for cancer care in the United States totaled nearly $125 billion in 2010 and could reach $156 billion in 2020.

Sadly, recent stats say that around 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will develop cancer in their lifetimes. This truth is even tougher to swallow when you realize the way we “treat” the disease is not only ineffective but makes the symptoms of the disease worse.
In fact, according to Berkeley doctor Hardin B Jones, a former professor of medical physics and physiology at the University of California, Berkeley, CHEMO DOESN’T WORK. In fact, he says its a sham.
In his studies over the last 25 years he’s come to the conclusion that chemotherapy does more harm than good. And this realization has prompted Dr. Jones to speak out against the billion-dollar cancer industry:
“People who refused chemotherapy treatment live on average 12 and a half years longer than people who are undergoing chemotherapy.”
People who accepted chemotherapy die within three years of diagnosis, a large number dies immediately after a few weeks.”
His study was published in the New York Academy of Science.
According to Dr.Jones, doctors only prescribe chemotherapy because they make money from it. And the accusation doesn’t seem unreasonable – an average cancer treatment costs between $300,000 – $1,000,000.
He goes on to say, “Patients with breast cancer who reject conventional therapy live four times longer than those who follow the system. So this is something that you will not hear in the mass media, which will continue to carry the myth that the best chemotherapy drug in the fight against cancer!”
Even though we spend more on healthcare than any other high-income nation in the world, at $8,713 per capita, our life expectancy is only 78.8 years.
This may have to do with the fact that the mainstream media and the allopathic healthcare system (the mainstream medical use of pharmacologically active agents or physical interventions to treat or suppress symptoms or pathophysiologic processes of diseases or conditions) don’t teach people about the importance of PREVENTATIVE medicine.
Eating a healthy diet, exercise, removing stress, and enjoying our lives and others – all habits which give joy – have all been proven to improve health, longevity, and happiness. They are all part of the cure.
Not to mention all the other powerful natural medicines, like cannabis oil, that we can use.
Since there is no money in a healthy population, we will continue to see disease thrive- all the while being fed by fast food and drugs on a continuous loop. But, we can jump off that ride, educate ourselves and our loved ones, and live healthy lives.
