“The Truth About Cancer” Series Is Untruthful About Cancer

https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-truth-about-cancer-series-is-untruthful-about-cancer/

"The Truth About Cancer: A Global Quest is billed as “the documentary series the mainstream media refused to air.” It consists of eleven episodes and is produced by Ty Bollinger, an outspoken supporter of natural treatments for cancer. Episodes 1 and 2 are currently available online.

...

He says “You are about to learn the best treatments and preventions to cancer, protocols that won’t harm your body, from the world leading doctors across the globe.” He promises to show viewers science and documented evidence. He promises to expose the lies of conventional cancer treatment. He thinks he has information that will eradicate cancer once and for all. He couldn’t be more wrong.

...

Bollinger doesn’t tell us about the patients who almost certainly could have been cured of cancer but who died because they rejected proven conventional treatments in favor of unproven natural treatments and outright quackery. He presents unconventional treatments as having been proven to work; they haven’t. If they had, they would be mainstream treatments and every oncologist would be using them.

Bollinger’s approach is as unfair as a trial where the prosecution is given carte blanche and no defense is allowed. This is a very unfortunate series, filled with misinformation, slickly produced, appealing to emotion, and likely to mislead scientifically-naïve viewers and even some scientists who ought to know better. I predict that Bollinger will have blood on his hands: people will die because they believed this was “the truth about cancer” and were persuaded to reject lifesaving treatment."
