ATAVISTIC CHEMOTHERAPY & IMMUNOTHERAPY
Help Us Change Our Obsolete Treatments
For more than 2,000 years, we have been distorting women's bodies
by removing their breasts to treat localized breast cancer.
The practice of removing both breasts and axillary lymph nodes
to treat and prevent breast cancer dates back to the 15th century,
close to 500 years ago.
Is still now the knife our only viable method to cure a cancer?
"The knife and the caustic are even now our only remedies for cancer,
but, in the infancy of our art, were they not exactly the same?
We must, therefore, by some new route proceed to this disease,
which has hitherto been attacked in vain. Some new principles
must be established, from which indications of cure may be deduced.
Not always successful, perhaps, but different from former ones. "
Bernard Peyrilhe (1777), “A Dissertation on Cancerous Disease”
