| On many webpages linked to alternative medicine allegations and speculations can be seen, stating that a conventional therapy would harm cancer patients more than remaining untreated. On webpages in english an american physiologist named Hardin Jones is often presented as "a prominent cancer researcher" of the University of California (Berkeley). A citation often presented is the following: ''My studies have proved conclusively that cancer patients who refuse chemotherapy and radiation actually live up to four times longer than treated cases.'' | | On many webpages linked to alternative medicine allegations and speculations can be seen, stating that a conventional therapy would harm cancer patients more than remaining untreated.

The article of 1956 contains statistical data related to treated and untreated female patients with breast cancer. Author Jones says in this article: '''It is most likely that, in terms of life expectancy, the chance of survival is no better with than without treatment, and there is the possibility that treatment may make the survival time of cancer less'' (page 331). Jones citates himself articles of the year 1926 and twice of 1927. But even these very old articles (with 651, 100, 64 and 100 cases) contradict his opinion. |
