Fluorouracil in Combination with Other Cancer Treatments

Oh wow, another 'researcher' who thinks mixing chemo with radiation is groundbreaking. Did you also discover that water is wet? I'm sure the oncologists at MD Anderson are weeping with joy at your profound insights.

Also, 'radiosensitization'? That's not a term you invented, Dave. It's been in textbooks since the 80s. Maybe read a paper before writing a blog?

This is why I believe in science. Fluorouracil isn't magic but it's a tool. And tools matter. People are living longer because of combinations like this. No hype. No fluff. Just real progress.

Keep pushing. Keep researching. The patients are watching.

I just want to say thank you for breaking this down so clearly. My mom went through this last year, and honestly? The side effects were brutal. But she made it. And knowing that this stuff works with other treatments gives me hope.

Don't forget to rest, too. You're doing important work.

Fluorouracil is a known carcinogen in its raw form. The fact that it's used in cancer treatment is not a coincidence-it’s a controlled exposure paradigm designed to exploit the Warburg effect. But let’s be honest: the pharmaceutical industry has been using this since 1957 because it’s cheap, patentable, and the side effects are conveniently blamed on 'the disease' rather than the treatment.

Meanwhile, hyperbaric oxygen, vitamin C infusions, and metabolic therapies are sidelined. Coincidence? Or systemic suppression? The data is there. The silence is louder.

I swear I cried when I read this. My cousin was given 6 months. She did the full FOLFOX regimen. Two years later? She’s hiking in Oregon. Drinking coffee. Laughing.

Fluorouracil? It’s not glamorous. It’s not a miracle. But it’s one of the few things that actually lets people get back to their lives. That’s worth more than any TED Talk.

Everyone acts like chemo is the answer. But what about the people who die from it? Who cares about their families? You’re glorifying poison like it’s a hero. I’ve seen people turn into ghosts in hospital beds. This isn’t science-it’s a gamble with human lives.

And you call it 'research'? More like corporate propaganda.

I appreciate how you laid out the science without overpromising. My sister is on a regimen with 5-FU right now, and it’s been rough. But her team explained every step, and that made all the difference.

Thank you for reminding us that treatment is personal, and progress is real-even if it’s slow.

You mention 'targeted therapies' as if they're the future. But let’s not pretend fluorouracil isn’t still the backbone of 80% of colorectal regimens because nothing else has consistently outperformed it in phase III trials. The 'innovation' you’re touting? It’s mostly incremental. And the real innovation? The fact that we still use a 60-year-old drug because it works better than most 'new' ones.

Also, your citations are all from paywalled journals. Did you even read them? Or just copy-paste the abstracts?

In India, access to fluorouracil is still a challenge in rural areas. But when it’s available, it’s life-changing. I’ve seen patients recover who couldn’t afford newer drugs. This isn’t just Western medicine-it’s global medicine. Thank you for acknowledging its role.

I work in a clinic where we use this daily. No hype. No drama. Just patients showing up, getting the infusion, and trying to live. You wrote this like it’s a breakthrough. It’s not. It’s just another day in oncology. And that’s okay. Sometimes the quiet work is the most important.
