Video Transcript: Does Chemotherapy Work?

Ty Bollinger: One could make the argument that chemotherapy is never needed in a sick body, couldn’t they?

Dr. Sahni:  Well, yes. And here’s where I might diverge from you a little bit, from  this line of thinking, and we talked about this before. In my opinion,  chemotherapy is very different, depending on the type of cancer. So if  you look at, let’s say—here’s a really interesting comparison. If you  look at gonad cancer—

Ty Bollinger: Testicular, sure.

Dr. Sahni: Yeah, testicular cancer, seminoma, and  you compare it to the female version of the gonads, which is the  ovaries. If you look at patients who have testicular cancer,  their survival rates with chemotherapy are 95 percent. So, I would  certainly argue, in the case of seminoma, that particular chemotherapy,  although it may be toxic, tends to be very successful. In the case of  pancreatic cancer or ovarian cancer, the results are abysmal. And the  five-year survival rate is somewhere in the order of a few percentage  points. And so in that case, yeah, I completely agree.

But there  are some forms of cancer where I do believe chemotherapy is a good  option. Now if there were a natural way to treat that cancer, then  absolutely. I’ve always argued in all the Quest Series that they are not  necessarily telling people, and I know you’re not telling people to  abstain or avoid conventional treatments,  what you’re saying is there’s other choices out there. And after  reviewing natural means or alternative means and you want to go back and  do those conventional treatments, maybe because it’s seminoma versus  ovarian cancer, then that’s exactly what this is all about.  

It’s about education, information, and being self-empowered in making  your own decisions based on the facts, not inserting your bias. But the  problem is when you go to see an oncologist, at least as far as I know,  they don’t offer you those other opportunities. The menu is very short.  The menu is typically three things—chemotherapy, radiation, and  surgery.

And in fact, if an oncologist wanted to discuss other  alternative or natural means of curing your cancer, they would probably  be investigated by the medical board and possibly even prosecuted in  some cases depending on the situation. Not only are they not  incentivized to do it, but I think in a lot of cases, they are probably  scared to even bring up some of these truths.

Ty Bollinger:  Actually, we agree on that—the testicular cancer. There’s a few rare  cancers that the chemo does actually work on. I think my question was  that it was really more intended to bring out the fact that people are  not sick with cancer because they’re shy on chemotherapy. So the reason  they’re sick is not that they’re chemotherapy-deficient. Not that there  are certain cancers that chemo doesn’t work on, like some non-Hodgkin’s  lymphoma, testicular cancer, and a few other cancers. 

Dr. Sahni: Chemotherapy is not a vitamin. Chemotherapy  is not a vitamin D or a vitamin C. If they were to correct their  physiology, and they were to give their body the nutrition or abstain  from the toxins that cause the cancer, they would actually solve the  problem. If someone is exposed to a chemical that is known to cause cancer,  they get cancer. They get chemotherapy, and let’s say they get lucky,  and they’re successfully treated with chemotherapy, but then they go  back and get exposed to that chemical again.

Well, guess what? They’re going to have cancer again. The  chemotherapy didn’t fix that. The chemotherapy may have placated it,  even if it worked, like we just said. And in some cases, only three  percent success rate overall. The problem is not a deficiency of  chemotherapy. The problem is some other outside factor that’s causing  them to be sick.

Ty Bollinger: That’s  definitely what I was trying to get to is that chemotherapy can be a  very effective Band-Aid. Sometimes it can be a huge Band-Aid, and maybe  it’s a permanent Band-Aid, but it never really corrects that imbalance.

Dr. Sahni:  I think a lot of people still believe − because I talk to patients all  the time about this − and they really believe that the fact that they’re  going to get cancer is sort of preordained. It’s in their genes. It’s  nothing they can do about that. They have no control over it.

They  don’t realize that by cleaning up their body or cleaning up the area in  their life that’s toxic that they absolutely cannot only prevent  themselves from getting cancer but even cure or reverse cancer once they  have it. I think that’s still part of the big misconception. There’s  sort of bad luck. What can I do? What can I do but go to the doctor and  get chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery.
