			If there's one thing to 
			be learned from the recent "Stand Up To Cancer" telethon that 
			gathered top Hollywood celebrities to raise money for the cancer 
			industry, it's that you probably shouldn't get your health advice 
			from actors.
 The cancer industry is losing its propaganda battle as more and more 
			people discover the truth about the toxic side effects of 
			chemotherapy as well as the cancer preventive powers of nutrients 
			like vitamin D and selenium.
 
			  
			With the science now clearly showing 
			that chemotherapy fails most patients and that conventional 
			approaches to cancer cause more harm than good, the cancer industry 
			has resorted to celebrity-influenced emotional theater to try to 
			lure more people into keeping its "someday we'll find a chemical 
			cure" scam going.
 And starring in that theater are many top names in Hollywood, from,
 
				
					
					
					Denzel Washington 
					
					
					George Clooney 
					
					
					Cindy Crawford 
					
					
					Katie Couric 
			Not present at the event, of course, were all the 
			celebrities who have been killed by the cancer industry, including 
			Patrick Swayze and Farrah Fawcett.  
			  
			By this time next year, 
			that list will undoubtedly be even larger.
 
			  
			Give more 
			money, but don't inform yourself
 
			The gushy, emotionally-charged cancer fundraiser theatrical 
			production was focused on raising more money for the failed cancer 
			industry, yet it utterly failed to empower viewers with real 
			information that could start saving lives right now:
 
				
				Information 
			about how anti-cancer nutrients like vitamin D and selenium can 
			slash cancer rates by 70 to 80 percent, saving hundreds of thousands 
			of lives around the world. 
			No celebrity told the viewing audience to "take more vitamin D 
			supplements to prevent cancer."  
			  
			No celebrity urged people to "get 
			more sunshine and save your own life." The entire event was staged 
			to raise more money for the very same toxic cancer industry that's 
			right now killing celebrities and fans alike.
 The whole charade was put on with a gushy, almost nauseating 
			emotional appeal that had nothing whatsoever to do with the actual 
			science on reversing cancer.
 
			  
			The Washington Post called the whole 
			thing "contrived" and described it as an event where,  
				
				"celebrity 
			actors, pop stars, news anchors and others donned especially shiny 
			halos and implored the world to give more to the cause. As always, the cancer 
			movement's message is that we are so close to a breakthrough."
				 
				(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/10/AR2010091007652.html) 
			  
			The cancer 
			industry scam continues
 
			But of course this has been the cancer industry's scam for more than 
			40 years:
 
				
				Claim to be just a few more dollars away from "the cure" 
			while avoiding talking about the real, practical ways that people 
			can prevent cancer right now. 
			If all these Hollywood celebrities really wanted to help people stop 
			cancer, they would encourage viewers to stop drinking BPA chemicals 
			from plastic bottles, stop eating processed meat products, stop 
			using toxic chemicals found in personal care products and stop using 
			pesticides on their lawns.
 That message, however, isn't as sexy and emotional as sharing 
			tear-jerker stories of how so many of the people we all love have 
			been killed by cancer. Where facts fail, emotion can always persuade 
			people to part with their money... especially if a famous person is 
			telling you to pledge more.
 
 Of course I feel sad for all the people killed by cancer, but I feel 
			even more remorse for the ones killed by cancer treatments like 
			chemotherapy and radiation.
 
			  
			Nothing in this article should be 
			construed as making light of the very real pain and suffering 
			endured by those who are diagnosed with cancer or who undergo 
			chemotherapy and radiation - I have great compassion for them all. 
			In fact, I lost several close relatives to the deathly side effects 
			of chemotherapy, and I never want to see another person suffer from 
			cancer nor the devastating toxic side effects of chemotherapy.
 But unlike these cancer industry celebrity shills, I'm working to 
			empower people with the information they need to halt cancer right 
			now. And I'm happy to be working in harmony with some other truly 
			courageous celebrities who are actually making a difference.
 
 Suzanne Somers wasn't at the event.
 
			  
			That's because she's been 
			working hard sharing her book, 
			
			Knockout: Interviews with Doctors Who 
			Are Curing Cancer - And How to Prevent Getting It in the First 
			Place. This is a book that actually teaches people how to prevent 
			and even cure cancer right now, using readily-available anti-cancer 
			remedies and treatments that don't make you vomit and die like chemo 
			often does.
 Not surprisingly, nobody mentioned this book at the "Stand Up To 
			Cancer" telethon event.
 
			  
			After all, if people 
			knew cancer cures already existed, why would they bother giving more 
			money to the cancer industry?
 
			  
			The cancer 
			industry only wants to keep itself alive
 
			And there's the punch line to this entire theatrical production, 
			actually:
 
				
				Raising money to 
				fund the cancer industry depends on not talking about cancer 
				cures.  
			There are a lot of jobs 
			and egos to support in the cancer industry, and if word got out 
			about the prevention and cure strategies that really work right now, 
			all sorts of cancer industry beneficiaries would find themselves out 
			of work.
 To keep the cancer industry going, celebrities get on stage and make 
			fools of themselves:
 
				
					
					
					Diane Sawyer
					
					Brian Williams 
					
					
					Katie Couric, 
			...bet their credibility on the event, not knowing that the whole thing 
			was staged to distract people from the real cancer solutions that 
			exist right now.
 You can find some of those cancer remedies, by the way, through the 
			
			Cancer Control Society, Dr. Samuel 
			Epstein's "prevent 
			cancer" website or any of the websites devoted to
			
			Gerson therapy.
 
 You can even watch free videos explaining Gerson Therapy and other 
			natural cancer cures on NaturalNews.TV.

 The truth is, cancer can already be prevented and cured.
 
			  
			A few really well 
			informed celebrities like Suzanne Somers already know about this, 
			but most of the rest have bought into the cancer industry's 
			propaganda and misuse their celebrity power to extract yet more 
			money from the very people who are being victimized by the cancer 
			industry right now.
 
			  
			Charlatans of 
			the cancer industry
 
			Make no mistake:
 
				
				If curing cancer 
				were only a matter of money, it would have already been cured.
				 
			Billions of dollars have 
			been poured into finding a pharmaceutical cure, and even though no 
			such cure has ever been found (nor will it be from a chemical 
			perspective), the industry keeps promising they're oh so very close 
			to a cure if you would just reach deep into your pockets and see 
			what cash you can hand over today.
 The whole thing smacks of the televangelism scandals of the 1980's, 
			where teary-eyed preachers were promising that your donations could 
			"buy you a place in heaven" even while they were banging prostitutes 
			in their luxury limos. The cancer industry is using your money to 
			fund luxurious lifestyles, too - the 
			
			American Cancer Society is the 
			wealthiest 'non-profit' in the world, supporting lavish salaries, 
			luxury vehicles and even widespread real estate holdings.
 
			  
			As Dr Sam Epstein 
			
			reports on his website: 
				
				"In 1992, The 
				Chronicle of Philanthropy reported that the ACS was "more 
				interested in accumulating wealth than in saving lives." 
				Fund-raising appeals routinely stated that the ACS needed more 
				funds to support its cancer programs, all the while holding more 
				than $750 million in cash and real estate assets.    
				A 1992 article in 
				the Wall Street Journal, by Thomas DiLorenzo, professor of 
				economics at Loyola College and veteran investigator of 
				nonprofit organizations, revealed that the Texas affiliate of 
				the ACS owned more than $11 million worth of assets in land and 
				real estate, as well as more than 56 vehicles, including 11 Ford 
				Crown Victorias for senior executives and 45 other cars assigned 
				to staff members.    
				Arizona's ACS 
				chapter spent less than 10 percent of its funds on direct 
				community cancer services. In California, the figure was 11 
				percent, and under 9 percent in Missouri." 
			This is the kind of thing celebrities are stumping for when they ask 
			the public to donate money to the cancer industry.
 Adam Sandler doesn't seem too funny all of a sudden when you think 
			about the industry he's fronting on television. To give money to the 
			cancer industry is to put your hard-earned dollars directly into the 
			pockets of the very people who are purposely not talking about the 
			cancer cures that exist right this very minute - cures that could 
			save lives and ease suffering starting today.
 
 And that's why "Stand Up To Cancer" should have aired on 
			The Comedy 
			Channel - it was all a sick joke.
 
			  
			It was an orgy of 
			celebrity-inspired propaganda and 
			
			Big Pharma disinformation, all 
			seductively packaged with heart-tugging stories of people who died 
			from toxic cancer treatments offered by very industry that now 
			claims to be trying to save your life.
 Well, sure, we don't want people to die of cancer. That's a 
			no-brainer. But the sad, sick truth of the matter is that the very 
			industry financially benefiting from the event is the same one that 
			actually depends on a continuation of cancer to keep itself in 
			business.
 
 To appear on stage stumping for this industry is to announce to the 
			world, "I'm a cancer industry shill."
 
 These celebrities only embarrass themselves with their ignorance.
 
 
			  
			Stand up to 
			the cancer industry
 
				
			 
			We don't need to "stand up to cancer..."
 What we really need is to stand up to the cancer industry!
 
 Stop giving your hard-earned money to cancer industry charlatans. 
			Instead, learn the truth about cancer cures like Gerson Therapy. 
			Read about 
			
			anti-cancer nutrients on NaturalNews 
			and pursue a sensible, healthful lifestyle that's rich with 
			sunlight, nutrition and natural foods.
 
 Get the toxic chemicals out of your home, out of your bathroom and 
			out of your kitchen. Stop buying synthetic chemicals in your foods, 
			drugs and home care products.
 
 But most of all, stop listening to health advice from ignorant 
			celebrities. That unfortunate habit will only get you killed. Just 
			because someone plays a famous character on television (or sings in 
			a rock band) doesn't mean they know anything whatsoever about 
			health, or cancer, or nutrition.
 
 And if you're a celebrity thinking about stumping for the next 
			cancer industry fundraising telethon, please just take yourself off 
			stage and stop abusing your influence to take money from the poor 
			and give it to the (disease industry) rich.
 
			  
			Your actions are a 
			disgrace to your fans and they only cement your own membership in 
			the "celebrity ignorance Hall of Fame."
