In the 1980s, MD Anderson performed basic research on vitamin cancer treatment and compared it with chemo. They found it was almost as effective, and that those provided did not suffer long term health issues and didn't destroy your immune system, as chemo is designed to do. Likewise they found vitamins as a compliment to all radiation provide superior short term and long term outcomes. Meaning any radiation treatment not accompanied with a vitamin protocol is not intended to provide an ideal outcome. Shortly after this, they used the FDA to literally take hostages at gun point, attempt to outlaw vitamins, redefined "cured" for cancer, and came out with different chemo treatment protocols which were slightly more effective. They then began campaigning on the dangers of vitamins, with "education" campaigns. This story leaked on the Houston Chronicle. The research was immediately halted, they were forced to retract their findings, and all researchers involved were threatened.
