    Here, a quack naturopath (but I repeat myself) peddles the common cancer quack lie that chemotherapy doesn't work. 1/ https://twitter.com/drpeterglidden/status/979845941271449600 …

        This is a lie that I often like to call the 2% gambit, based on a bad study claiming that chemotherapy only contributes 2% to survival. 2/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/chemotherapy-doesnt-work/ …

        The 2% gambit relies on confusing adjuvant chemo therapy work curative intent chemotherapy AND leaving out of the analysis all the cancers for which chemotherapy is most effective. 3/

        In fact, chemotherapy has contributed significantly to cancer survival, regardless of what quacks like @drpeterglidden claim. 4/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/chemotherapy-doesnt-work-not-so-fast-a-lesson-from-history/ …

        Moreover, as unpleasant and toxic as some chemotherapy can be, death from cancer is worse. 5/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/chemotherapy-versus-death-from-cancer/ …

        Of course, telling people that chemotherapy is dangerous and doesn't work, that "chemo is for losers" is what naturopathic quacks like @drpeterglidden do. 6/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/chemotherapy-is-for-losers-a-tragic-tale-of-cancer-naturopathic-quackery-and-murder/ …

        As a cancer surgeon, I get infuriated when I see cancer quacks like @drpeterglidden deceiving cancer patients into not undergoing the chemotherapy they need. 7/7

        I was tempted to follow you for laughs @CuresCancer, then looking at your tweets you just RT horseshit from others without even bothering to write it up. Lazy and a quack, not even amusing like following @realDonaldTrump
