Can you help me spread awareness that chemo kills you before the cancer does?

Where did you get your information

It should be common sense. It's a potent poison that is injected into your system

@Motleycrue667 the problem with common sense is that it's often wrong. Chemo is by no means great for you. And it doesn't always help. But it helps far more often than it doesn't. So we continue using it as out best option until something better comes along. Gotta follow the science, it's far more beneficial than trusting in common sense.

No. That's so wrong

In what way?

There's also a science to meth and coke, but common sense should tell you it's not good for you. Chemotherapy is poison. Poison could kill you. A doctor was sent to prison a few years ago for purposely misdiagnosis hundreds of patients with cancer when they didn't even have it. They didn't have anything wrong. He gave then chemo, and a lot of them died.

Science is a process of discovery. Of course there is a science to meth and coke. It tells us how to make it and also shows that it is very bad for us. The way you use the word science makes me think you do not understand what it is. Which is dangerous that so many people don't.
Science has demonstrated that for certain kinds of cancer, chemo increases survivability more often than it reduces it. It's not a hundred percent and sometimes things go wrong. But by a significant margin it is usually better for the cancer patient to have it than not have it.
A doctor misdiagnosing people on purpose is a severe crime. Subjecting healthy people to chemo is going to hurt more than it helps. The same way performing CPR on someone who is breathing just fine is going to cause more harm than good. The doctor probably even overdosed the people on chemo. That is the fault of the doctor, not of chemo itself.
Lastly... Poisons are all around us and frequently beneficial when used properly. There are diabetes drugs made from Gila Monster venom. There are heart drugs made from fatally poisonous foxglove. Heck, alcohol and chocolate are both poisons, but having a small amount of them from time to time actually show health benefits.

@Motleycrue667 Dear there are a lot of ways to tell now days IF you have active cancer in your body and where it is
most of the meds we take are toxic ,,
Lithium for instance is not as commonly used as in the past ,now there are other drugs for psychiatric medication ,but for it to work ,it has to be at an almost lethal dose .
People are dropping dead every day from narcotics ,but they abuse them ,
For us who need them it is the difference in being able to walk ,or spend my life in the bed or on the couch .
Common sense often is not so common sense to often or even good sense anymore
You need to be informed about the drugs and what they offer
Many of us who need medication know ,its "Benefits outweigh the risk "
Most of them are lethal if misused ,,that is why we have to trust the doctors .
so much has changed in cancer in just the last few years .
Now they have ways to target only cancer cells and not wipe out an immune system .but a lot of monkeys ,rats and humans died to get us here
its not a perfect science yet ,,but they are getting there
one bad cop does not make them all bad ,no more then a few bad doctors make them all bad ,,it also helps to do your homework ,,what is their success rate
and how many malpractice suits were filed against them ,and won
