More on the doctor who cures many once-untreatable cancers
on ACA Tonight. ~ 7:00pm

Tony Abbott has agreed to talk to the doctor
& Ray Martin is keeping this story right in the
public eye to make sure it is not ignored, as it
has been for far, far too long.

There have been many recent Australian medical discoveries

Why do you think it has been ignored? You need to publish your findings &
conduct randomly controlled trials. Has this been done?

You done do science by hosting TV debates.

No. So far all that has happened is the guy has gone on TV to say he
inherited a secret cure for cancer, and as he is going OS soon it will
be lost to this country.

Which is all complete bollocks and the ACCC should be investigating him
until he provides evidence that backs up his claims.

Why? If he's getting results and people are happy with his treatment why
stop him?
It's a free world. His patients sounded happy.
But he or his patients can't expect taxpayer funding until his treatment
passes through the filter of scientific scrutiny.
And Ray Martin should back away from playing judge and jury on this.

And Ray Martin should back away from playing judge and jury on this.
a) He is a Doctor which means he is operating under the AMA and Medical
Boards licencing which regulate activities. As far as I know he is a
medicare provider, which means he gets taxpayer money.

b) I am not saying that he needs full scientific trials to start with,
as long as the treatment is not harmful. He is advertising a treatment
as curing cancer and he needs to back that up with data. Number of
patients treated, number successful and unsuccessful outcomes.

c) According to you it would be perfectly fine for anyone to claim to
have a cure for cancer, give people a vial of distilled water and then
pocket money. You can't it's called fraud. This is basic trade practices
law that has existed for over 100 years to stop exactly such scams.
Anyone advertising they have a margarine that lowers the risk of heart
disease must provide data to back up the advertised claim.The same level
of scrutiny should be applied to advertising a cure for cancer surely.

d) I haven't said he should be shut down just his claims should be
subject to scrutiny.

In a Ray Martin interview last night he stated 15000 treated . 25%
success rate for cure

That's once examined a good recovery rate isn't ?

But how many would have been cured on their own (or with the other treatment
they were having) anyway? That number's meaningless without context,
properly controlled trials and statistical analysis.

The placebo affect still has to be factored in. Anyway, if it was that
great, it'd be a common treatment, well studied by now you'd think!

Wouldn't bother me if it was (mostly) gone. For every treatment that does
some good, there's 10 people losing money on nothing (well, except placebo).

25% doesn't sound too crash hot to me.
I don't watch the lovely Ray so I didn't see the interview.

As he gets lots of patients
for whom medical science
has failed, telling them to
go home to die...
25% chance to live > 0%

I have a friend who after chemotherapy was sent home to die,told he had
six months to live,left his job gave large amounts of money to his
family.
Guess what? 10 years later he's broke but alive and well no sign of the
lymphoma(sp?)he went into remission,so these remissions have to be
factored into this doctors results as I assume most of his patients have
already been through accepted therapies before they start his.

Those 'exceptions' are very rare, while he cures 25-30% using
a glucose blocking agent + microwaves at specific frequencies,
and close to 50% if x-ray radiation treatment is also used in
conjunction with the first treatment.

Chemo kills many before the cancer does
and permanently damages the organs
of many survivors also, while the
above doctors treatments have
no known side effects.

Chemo can also reduce the effectiveness
of the doctors treatment, depending on
the amount of chemo and the type
of cancer involved.

It depends what sort of cancers he's treating. Cos for most kinds
that's pretty shocking.

A 2002 article about cancer survival rates:

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/living/Healthology/HS_cancer_survival021011.html

"Period analysis also showed 20-year survival rates that were nearly
90 percent for thyroid and testicular cancer, greater than 80 percent
for melanomas and prostate cancer, about 80 percent for endometrial
cancer and almost 70 percent for bladder cancer and Hodgkin's disease.
The 20-year survival rate for breast cancer was estimated to be 65
percent, for cervical cancer 60 percent and for colorectal, ovarian
and kidney cancer, 50 percent."
