Apparently, Adams is not familiar with the historical reference of “heroic measures” otherwise she’d not have made the erroneous Twitter comment of her “doing standard run of the mill therapy for metastatic breast cancer.”
Keller’s makes some valid points or insinuations. Many of the “heroic measures” of orthodox medicine are in actuality killing patients instead of saving their lives. It is well-established but ignored and overlooked by the medical industry that such “heroic measures” as mammography, biopsy, surgery, and the other invasive cancer treatments CAUSE cancer whereby millions of women who’ve been overdiagnosed by mammography, for instance, have ended up losing their lives (see “The Mammogram Myth: The Independent Investigation Of Mammography The Medical Profession Doesn’t Want You To Know About” by Rolf Hefti).
Because of the relentless glorification of modern medicine, and the medical industry-sponsored media’s biased reporting of the true facts about conventional cancer interventions, the large majority of women -even women with breast cancer- will never get to know the real facts. They’re committed to, and starry-eyed of, the profit-hungry but proven corrupt beast called the medical industry. Such denial and ignorance (and foolish hope) is often spawned by vested interests, or when faced with a serious disease or predicament, such as cancer. Nobody wants to die.
Therefore, reasonable criticism of the status quo in traditional medicine, or a stout follower and beneficiary of it, is still frowned upon as they’re offensive and insulting to sensible characters (or gatekeepers of the medical officialdom). Real truth is always painful, particularly those wallowing in denial. Just look at the the defensive, specious arguments in this piece here.
