What are the benefits of chemotherapy for people with terminal cancers? Is it true that it involves poisoning the body in hopes of the immune system fighting off remaining cancer cells?

I can’t think of any benefit from chemo-toxic drugs for someone with terminal cancer, other than it turns off the cell replacement process (Mitosis) for all cells and when it is ended, the system malfunction might disappear, like turning off your computer and turning it back on to re-load a program from start, again. There is, however, one great benefit for people who sell and administer “chemo”that everyone can figure out.

Cancer cells are normal, healthy cells with big membrane markers that say “SELF” to the immune system, so it leaves them in peace. Immune systems only deal with invaders. The problem with these “cancer” cells is that they are “extra” and they clump into what becomes a tumor, that eventually disrupts the organ’s function.

Homeostasis is necessary for survival and that requires no extra body cells, and cancer has to be a failure of the protections of Mitosis that require the old cell die before the new cell take its place. Like every system in the body, everything involves reactions to chemical signals. Extra cells forming anywhere has to be a chemical signal malfunction.

When diagnosed with terminal cancer, you’re told about how long you have to live, so you are at some stage of organ failure. If you think you have time to try another recycle, hoping the system will reset properly, that’s up to you, but the Oncologists usually don’t tell you another chemo cycle will shorten the time to the “terminal”.

Because all chemo shuts down all cell replacement, it will make you sicker and weaker. The weak die first, and without a fully working immune system during chemo, pathogens have a better chance of winning, also. Drugs infused into the blood are hoped to affect the organ where the tumor is growing, but drugs in the blood also affect every other cell in the body, not just in the tumor. How does a “poison” work? Close enough? Like playing horse shoes or hand grenades?

The immune system, despite dogma that cannot be demonstrated, does not and cannot “fight off” cancer cells. There are two immune systems, the Innate system, that all, even the most ancient, lifeforms are said to have, and they do the “fighting”. The other immune system, that only goes back to fish with hinged jaws, the Adaptive system, makes the antibodies, designates the cell markers for the antibodies (antigens) and constructs and spreads the antibodies, which don’t “fight”, but just circulate to attach and disable the selected pathogen.
