Is #Lymph #Node #Removal with #Cancer Surgery Really Necessary?

By Ann Fonfa

In a hurry? Click here to read the Article Summary...

On March 6th the lymphedema community will celebrate the 22nd annual Lymphedema Awareness Day, otherwise known as Lymphedema D-Day. But despite all these years of awareness, lymphedema is still not curable and remains “an unfortunate side effect” of conventional treatment for cancer. It’s time for the medical community to acknowledge that lymphedema is often avoidable and linked to lymph node removal.
It’s common practice for oncologists to recommend lymph node removal after cancer diagnosis. Removal of lymph nodes occurs with many cancers – breast cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer, colon cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer, and others too.
The conventional medical view is that lymph nodes contain cancer cells and therefore must be removed. At the same time, cancer is a systemic disease, so

Video Transcript: Why I Said “No” to Chemo 

Chris Wark: They just scared me so bad that I agreed to chemotherapy, even though I had originally decided not to. But over that weekend I kind of came to my senses again. And I thought about my life and I thought about this book, and I thought about Jack Lalanne, and I thought about the weird stuff the oncologist said to me. 

One other thing he said, I forgot. Sort of in the middle of his pitch, he said, “Look man. I’m not telling you this because I need your business.” And I just thought, “Why in the world would you say that? What does business have to do with it, right?” 

And then I was “Wait a minute, this is a business. This is his business. He needs patients to make money.” 

Ty Bollinger: And this is the same oncologist that told you [that] you were insane if you didn’t do chemo? 

Chris Wark: That’s right, same guy. And it was like a Freudian slip, you know what I mean? Either that or it was the “push away,” which is a sales technique. Where they kind of give someone like “I don’t really need your business” and then it kind of makes them want to do business with you, you know what I mean? 

But I thought about everything and I thought, “You know what? Nutrition makes more sense to me. I would rather overdose on nutrition and give my body everything that it can use to repair, regenerate, and detoxify and heal and trust God to lead me in the process than let someone who doesn’t even know me at all, probably has already forgotten my name, poison me and experiment on me with a 60% chance of living five years.” 


I found out later that he was lying. What he told me was that I had a 60% chance of living five years. But that’s the average for all cancer patients. So if you take every cancer patient, lump them into one
