R to @alizaeteri: The first human chemo trial?
In 1943 they tested it on a human patient…
a man who had lymphoma.
The "patient" died.
Yet they still called it "success"
They hid this under the label "National Defense Research."
Why?
Because it was illegal.
Banned by the Geneva Convention.

R to @alizaeteri: Then they created entire classes of chemo drugs that:
🔹Kill cells at random
🔹Destroy immune function
🔹Wipe out bone marrow
🔹Cause permanent organ damage
All for "temporary shrinkage" of a tumor.
But what if… the tumor was a defense mechanism? What if it's a symptom?

R to @alizaeteri: Let's talk results.
A study in Clinical Oncology (2004) found:
Chemo contributes just 2.3% to 5-year cancer survival in the U.S.
Only 2.3% that survive the brutal, dangerous treatment...
And yet it's a $200 billion/year industry.
That's a very profitable business.
Am I wrong?

R to @alizaeteri: Meanwhile... People are diagnosed earlier.
People are diagnosed more often.
More scans. More fear.
More chemo.
It's a system of perpetual profit.
And it feeds off your fear.
And you think their tests are accurate and don't harm you, when it's a key part of the cancer industry?

R to @alizaeteri: The pioneers of chemo?
Paul Ehrlich — a German-Jewish chemist who coined "magic bullet" drugs & founder of chemotherapy.
Sidney Farber — American-Jewish pathologist known as the "father of chemotherapy."
Paul Ehrlich died after a stroke.
Sidney Farber died from cardiac arrest.

R to @alizaeteri: They don't ask: "Why did this cancer grow?"
They just ask: "How can we blast it?"
But if the terrain is toxic, the tumor will return.
It's a sophisticated reaction of your body.
If the "immune system" is weak, chemo makes it weaker.
And the cycle never ends.
By design.
