Facts on Drugs Used in Chemotherapy

Cancer is a multi-billion dollar business. The drugs used in chemotherapy kill cancer cells – but they also kill healthy cells too. That fact alone is bad enough, but it doesn’t stop there. The drugs used in chemotherapy also have side-effects and many cause new cancers and new diseases, leading to the use of yet more drugs which in turn have new side effects. It’s a vicious circle and a license to print money for the pharmaceutical industry.

What interest can the pharmaceutical industry possibly have in trying to prevent cancer, if they earn revenues of $100 billion every year in the US alone, from keeping cancer ongoing? The only reason that cancer still remains a death verdict is the billions of dollars drug companies make from their chemotherapy drugs.

This website documents extracts from the "patient information leaflets" of these chemotherapy drugs, as published by the drug manufacturers themselves.

The drugs marked with a are listed in the “11th Report on Carcinogens” of the US National Toxicology Program as "cancerogenic", i.e. cancer-causing. In other words, the drugs prescribed to millions of cancer patients as a cure are, in fact, known to cause cancer.
