Recently, The Jerusalem Post reported that a team of Israeli scientists may have discovered the cure for cancer. That same day, the New York Post piggybacked on the story, followed soon by other online news sources. Both reported claims by the developer that a “complete cure for cancer” would be offered “in a year’s time.”
A complete cure for cancer? By next year?
If this story sounds too good to be true, that’s because it is. A quick look into the company website, or a consultation with almost anyone in the medical research field, will tell you that these claims are not realistic. It’s irresponsible journalism, and it’s not fair to patients. It’s fake news.
But every few years we see another story about a groundbreaking new miracle drug that’s supposed to totally eradicate cancer. And every time these articles come out, they provide false hope to people who deserve better. So, let’s look at the Israeli cancer claim. Let’s look at how and why stories like this keep making their way onto our screens. And let’s find a way to sort through what’s real and what isn’t.
The “Cancer Cure” Story
Accelerated Evolution Biotechnologies Ltd. (AEBi), a small company founded in 2000, claims to have found a complete cure for cancer. They equate their treatment to a “cancer antibiotic” because of the way it attacks cancer cells. The article in The Jerusalem Post was based on an interview with AEBi’s chairman, Dan Aridor, who’s quote was the foundation for many of the headlines:
We believe we will offer in a year’s time a complete cure for cancer… Our cancer cure will be effective from day one, will last a duration of a few weeks and will have no or minimal side-effects at a much lower cost than most other treatments on the market. Our solution will be both generic and personal.”
Those are some pretty big claims. Unfortunately, they seem to be unfounded. If The Jerusalem Post had bothered to consult even one expert, they’d have known that these claims are virtually impossible. A review of AEBi’s website provides a few graphs and microscope slides but little more.
You see, the studies this company has conducted so far have only been on mice or in petri dishes. They haven’t begun any human studies. They haven’t even published their existing research. Aridor says their results are “consistent and repeatable,” though no one has yet seen the study results. There’s no doubt the company is pursuing a new approach to cancer treatment, or that they feel confident about the results so far. But to say that they’ll have a cure within the year? Fake news.
The New York Post published a follow-up article in which they asked experts about the claims that Aridor and Dr. Ilan Morad, the company’s CEO, had made. The response was invariably negative, with one doctor saying that the claim was “yet another in a long line of spurious, irresponsible and ultimately cruel false promises for cancer patients.”
Others pointed out that cancer is a name we use for a myriad of diseases. Each type of cancer is unique, so the chances that one cocktail can effectively treat all types without catastrophic collateral damage are very slim. The creator’s antibiotic comparison falls short as well; different antibiotics are used to address different infections. And almost all of them can help create resistant strains down the road.
Still others focused on the challenges of transitioning from rodent studies to clinical human trials. One study published in January last year put the odds of a cancer drug going to market at 3.4 percent. Chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society Dr. Len Lichtenfeld summed it up this way:
If this group is just beginning clinical trials, they may well have some difficult experiments ahead. It is certainly possible this approach may work. However, as experience has taught us so many times, the gap from a successful mouse experiment to effective, beneficial application of exciting laboratory concepts to helping cancer patients at the bedside is in fact a long and treacherous journey, filled with unforeseen and unanticipated obstacles.”
Can the idea behind this new treatment work?
Certainly.
Are we all hoping that this new drug is as safe and effective as its creators claim?
Undoubtedly.
But is it reasonable to make claims that a cure will be available inside of a year?
No way.
Even Forbes, who had originally covered the Jerusalem Post story with little criticism, posted a follow up article titled “An Israeli Company Claims That They Will Have A Cure For Cancer In A Year. Don’t Believe Them.” The article features one account after another by professionals explaining why the claims of a cure are greatly exaggerated.
How do fake news articles like this make it to print?
The Role of the Media
For starters, the companies that are pushing the latest drugs are more than eager to get the word out. In the case of AEBi, Dr. Morad told The Times of Israel that a lack of funding is the reason their studies have not been published. Is it possible that the company is hoping to generate new investment? Is this interview just a ploy to bring in more money? Perhaps not, but I certainly think so.
Plus, a cure for cancer is a pretty big story. Who wouldn’t want an exclusive first take on that news? The clicks alone can generate tons of income for the outlet that publishes the story. But media outlets like The Jerusalem Post, New York Post, and even The Truth About Cancer have a responsibility to due diligence and balanced reporting. In an ideal world, everything you read would be well-researched, peer-reviewed, and unbiased.
Sadly, this often isn’t the case. We’ve become conditioned to scroll through story after story. Social media has become a way to unwind, and we’re rarely on guard against news that is wrong, incomplete, or excessively biased. The bigger the publication, the easier it is to believe what we’re reading. And that’s why fake news continues to permeate the media.
There were many who celebrated the news when it was first published. “We did it! The cure is just a year away!” But by the next morning, news outlets had begun to question the claims, and experts had started to expose what was ultimately a bogus story spreading false hope to those who need hope most.
The Truth
In today’s world, the truth has become increasingly hard to spot. The constant stream of information we see on a daily basis has made us complacent, rarely questioning the validity of the information. Sure, we tend to be critical of information that goes against our existing beliefs, but when we read a story that we agree with, we often fail to properly evaluate it before clicking the trusty “like” and “share” buttons.
A 2018 study published in the Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition found that, by increasing analytic and actively open-minded thinking, we can reduce the acceptance of fake news. When we take the time to evaluate what we’re reading, we’re more likely to discern what information is real and what information is fake.
It’s important that we follow facts, not feelings.
We want to believe in this treatment. We would love to be proven wrong and see this great breakthrough proven viable over the next year. But false hope is not what people need. We started this mission because we saw what cancer and conventional treatments did to my family. We continue the mission because we genuinely care about each and every one of you.
Whether you’ve been diagnosed with cancer yourself, or have a loved one facing a diagnosis, TTAC exists for you. When we bring you information about nutrition, new studies, or news from the medical industry, we want you to know that integrity is at the core of our values.
We truly hope that Dr. Morad really has found a way to beat cancer for good. We hope Mr. Aridor is right when he says they’ll be able to offer a solution within a year. But we don’t want you to put your hope in something that is unlikely to happen. We believe that selling false hope is wrong. But the truth will set us free. And the truth is that there are already dozens of herbs, roots, and foods that grow everywhere that have anti-cancer properties. We write about them all the time here at TTAC.
Remember… cancer patients have cancer because their bodies are sick. Not vice versa. And a sick body needs nutrition, not chemicals.
Keep checking in with us for honest reporting on today’s health news. Misleading and unbalanced information can make it hard to determine what’s real. We want to give you transparent coverage that tells you everything you need to know without sensationalism, click bait, or gimmicks. We’re here for one reason, and that’s to bring you the truth about cancer.
A stellar and well written article Ty! Thank you for continuing to passionately inform those of us who have been given ears to hear. I am grateful for this trusted venue!
Thank you so much for letting us know how you feel about this article, Jacqui!
Means the world to us. God bless you!
My wife cured her cancer naturally (cannabis oil, apricot kernels and more) all info at Cancer Beaten Naturally on FaceBook..https://www.facebook.com/groups/224545407909211/
In Canada Rick Simpson (Run from the cure… on youtube) proved that cannabis oil cured cancer. He contacted the Canadian Gov’t….nothing happened except the RCMP raided his crop. He contacted Cancer Canada (huge fund raiser, 55% goes to office expenses), he said, “I found the cure , no need to spend millions of dollars looking for a cure”. They sent Rick a form letter….Thank you Mr. Simpson we don’t look at natural cures. They would rather show bald dying children in ads used to raise more $’s for the cancer industry.
I was lucky and found many cures. When my wife was sick in 2015 we were pleasantly surprised to find that Ty Bollinger talked about all my cure finds except one, Aloe Aberscens. (info at FB group above.) Finding the Bollinger’s info sure bolstered our confidence in our plan A. When we had the 1st appointment with the Oncologist my wife had 6 out of 15 blood 3’s out of range. She had non hodgkins follicular lymphoma. (worst kind,3 lymph nodes around her stomach) The Dr. said their plan was to wait and see because if their treatment did not work now it wouldn’t work later….huh? Good thing we had plan A. 3 months later our cures left us with one, one! blood factor slightly out of range. Less than 6 months all were normal, no cancer. This year my wife met a retired nurse that actually worked with the very same oncologist before we went to see her, The nurse said no one that had Louise’s type of cancer ever went to in the hospital with it and came out cured. The oncologist just rolled her eyes and walked away when we told her what we were doing on our own…NEVER asked the details for other patients!!!
God Bless the Bollingers and Rick Simpson.
Wow – bless you for taking control of your health!
Wishing you and your family endless blessings and love!
Thank you for the info God bless you and your family with continued good health
Congrats! What did you mean 6 out of 15? what blood test?
If they didn’t cure it, or are in the “power seat” they’re not interested. All ego!
Thanks.
Janis
Thank you for once again proving that the trust so very many of us have in TTAC is well placed! As someone battling cancer the natural way owing to TTAC’s illuminating influence, it’s so reassuring to see these types of hard hitting critiques proving that you’ve got our backs! Nice work TTAC. Much gratitude and thanks!
Thank you for sharing your love and support with us, Mary.
We’re so humbled and blessed to have you stand with us.
We appreciate you!
Thanks for the information and keeping us informed about the truth
Thank YOU for being here to support us, Eleanor! 🙂
This really sounds like fake news. However, why isn’t Dr. Hulda Clark’s work never mentioned? She was a brilliant toxicologist and researcher She wrote several bookds, among them The cure of all cancers and The cure of all advanced cancers several years ago and was killed, we can guess why. Thanks for all you do,

Hi John –
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
Have a blessed day!
I recommend your website and newsletter to all my friends and family, especially those who have been diagnosed with cancer. Your passion and vigilance to find natural cures, optimal nutrition, and healthy ways to conduct one’s life are so helpful.
Fake news and biased opinions are rampant now, and “journalists” do not seem to check sources to see if what they are reporting is true. One must seek out the truth tellers and ignore the rest. So many people are addicted to social media and just blindly accept those news feeds as being true. One must realize that only a few corporations control most of the media now, and are feeding the distracted with their blatantly false opinions.
Hi Maggi –
Thanks for your note.
We’re so blessed to have your support. Everything we do is for you and people just like you all around the world.
Thank you for sharing your appreciation with us.
Wishing you endless love and blessings!
You are aware that it is in the best interests of doctors, scientists, and pharmaceutical companies to debunk any cure that might actually be found, right? As you view that company’s claims with jaundiced eye, you should also view the stampede to debunk them. Truth isn’t an easy thing to come by any more.
Thanks for sharing, Lynnette! You’re right – the truth isn’t easy to come by these days.
This is why we do what we do and keep trying to inform more and more people about the true health that lies in natural healing.
Thanks for being here to support us!
Blessings and love!
Dr. Royal Rife cured many cases of cancer in the 1930’s with radio frequencies. Check it yourself! Look him up on the Internet. The cure has been here for years! Jim
Great article. Thank you for your dedication to putting out information that educates and helps people.
Thank you for sharing your appreciation with us, Karma! 🙂
I had a daughter who at age 9 was diagnosed with leukemia. This was 1983, The first symptom was a very large bruise on her leg from her calf and half way up her thigh. The bruise was from when her foot slipped off a bike peddle. We took her to a local town doctor who did some tests. He called and scheduled more tests and after the second test results were back the doctor mentioned the C word and recommended that we check her into Presbyterian Hospital in Denver. We checked her into the hospital and an oncologist did some tests. On getting the results, he recommended checking our daughter into Denver Children’s Hospital and start Chemotherapy Treatments.
Fortunately, I had read G Edward Griffins book “World Without Cancer – The Story of B-17” which included the section of the book on the politics of cancer therapy.. This caused further research and I researched Dr Krebs work from the 1950’s. And, I was familiar with the Chad Green story so we lied the the oncologist and told him that we had another doctor to prevent social workers from taking our daughter. I obtained B-17 large pills called something like Benzalda-E that was manufactured in Utah and shipped to Germany for cancer treatments. I understand that the pills produced and released Benzaldehyde and Cyanide when in contact rapid reproducing cells. So these chemicals can kill cancer growths with no effect on healthy cells.
We interviewed doctors until we found one that when queried said, “At no time should the government come between a parent and child.: So we went to him to monitor our daughters blood. We worked with two nutritionists and I added the B-17 pills and B-15 vitamin to their therapy. After one month the Dr said, “I don’t know what you are doing, but keep doing it.” Within 2 months her blood tests no longer indicated the immature white blood cells and her platelet count was normal.
Today our daughter has given us three grandchildren and her and her husband have adopted a boy from the Ukraine. We thank God for brave men like G Edward Griffin and Ty Bollinger for their research and the time they spend to inform others.
Hi Roy –
This is ABSOLUTELY amazing!! Please do email us with your testimony at support@thetruthaboutcancer.com.
God bless you and your daughter – may her entire family be blessed always!
What a miracle. This makes us so happy to hear. 🙂
Thank you for sharing!
Anyone who is making money from cancer victims will never believe or hope a cure will be found. The pharmacists, doctors, etc will lose billions of dollars. Many doctors have been mysteriously killed when they found alternative approaches to chemo.
This is so true, Joanne.
We’ve lost great friends to this. It’s a real issue that must be brought to light!
Thank you for all your G-d conscious loving work on behalf of all humanity! It is a spiritual war being fought with every morally courageous move to share the truth and cheer on those who share their stories of hope and healing. In reference to the comment that it’s sick bodies that get “cancer” and not the other way around….we are not JUST our bodies! As a functional health coach often receiving comments by people such as “my uncle was so nutrition conscious and died young of cancer” and other such stories. You know it’s not just about nutrition – there’s all that inner child work that has to be processed to heal – as we know from Dr. Kelly Turner’s work – Radical Remission. There are testimonials of remission from stage 4 cancers also from people who have worked through their “stuff” using Dr. Joe Dispenza’s protocol. Keep up the great work!!!
I am working to promote a movement to build resilience in body, mind, and soul with an educational model to be used in schools. The aim is integration of our multiple “brains” with lifestyle medicine and life purpose of service. This educational model will truly prepare children to lives of powerful greatness in a world of healed and empowered humanity.
Hi Ita –
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. And for being here to support us.
We’re so blessed by your message and we appreciate that you stand with us.
God bless you and your family! xo
Glory To God Almighty Jesus Christ! Amen 💝Vnomar!
The search for the conquest of cancer has been ongoing for over 100 years. It is time it IS found!
May I suggest people call their legislators and insist that alternative and natural therapies should be covered by insurance. Big pharma has a strangle hold on what can or cannot be covered by insurance companies. The sooner we break that hold, the faster we will see recoveries.
Great suggestion, E. Daniel!!
I believe, that they found a cancer cure, but Big Pharma doesn’t want it!!
And Big Pharma is doing everything just to make us believe its media lie!!
What you do to other people,…you do to God. I would like to tell my story having had prostrate Cancer as MAYBE it can help others. I am now 76. had a High cancer Blood count. Refused to go for Chemo and Radiation but wife pressurized me in a Brachytherapy. In Hospital for 5 hours. Came out and started my own regime. NO SUGAR. No Fizzy drinks, No Processed Junk food. Got pH up to over 7,5 and increased my Oxygen content. NEVER went back to the specialist for 3 years. Then in 4th year went and got a blood check reading was 0,02. Today I again eat and drink what I like except for Beer and Fizzy drinks causing me gout problems.
That’s amazing, Anthon!
God bless you!
I have had cancer twice. My dear wife is now entering the shadow of death in the hospital.
I have a cure, but all humans (some 5 billion) have to participate in it. It will also take many years before it will show the results sufficiently — stop making any artificial compound like plastics and even medicine containing any Nitrogen -symbol N. It interferes with the body’s own N-compounds like proteins, enzymes and hormones, often replacing them with a sting from hell!
The graph of cancer death is increasing. When it reaches a level of 40 degrees, it will accelerate so fast exponentially that i will stop civilization which will then grind to a stand-still. Why? The the bad will take over civilization and throw it into back gear. The graph will become a stilt pinnacle and humans will be the first of mammilians to disappear.
With care and best wishes — At (short for Adriaan)
Hi Adriaan –
We’re so sorry to hear about your wife. Please know that we will surely pray for her.
What do you know about CHIPSA hospital? I’d like to know what TTAC knows and thinks about this hospital, it’s doctors and protocols BEFORE I contact them.
Hi Jane –
Thanks for reaching out to us about this.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any info on CHIPSA hospital. In case it’s helpful, the best advice we can give you is to consult with one of the doctors we interviewed in the Global series.
Please note that we are not able to select an expert for you.
We’ve created a page with the experts’ contact info as it was available to us.
Here’s the link to the actual webpage:
http://thetruthaboutcancer.com/experts-info-sheet/
We do have one more resource you may be interested in. During our Live Event 2017 series, Dr. Patrick Quillin suggested contacting The Institute of Functional Medicine to locate a practitioner in your area.
If you are interested, here is the link to search for a Functional Medicine Practitioner in your area: https://www.ifm.org/find-a-practitioner/
Hope this helps. Have a blessed day!
Well written and puts things in perspective.
In today’s social media, we must be skeptical about what is true or untrue. I believe there is one other consideration not talked about in the article – economics. Consider this for a very, very brief moment. Suppose that it really is true that this Israeli company does have cancer cure; it is clinically proven and it would really be introduced within a year. Now consider the economic impact this would have on current cancer treatment worldwide. Imagine the ripple effect in lost revenues and jobs to the medical industrial complex, the large pharmaceutical companies and any of other entities whose livelihoods and revenues are significantly derived, directly or indirectly, on the treating of cancer using the popular treatments today. With billions and billions of lost revenues potentially at stake I doubt that any overnight (within a year) cure of cancer, even if clinically proven to work, would ever be allowed to come to market that quick. I believe the before mentioned groups with their lobbies would not sit idly by as their livelihoods and revenues would be significantly threatened. No, improvements in curing cancer will continue to be slow and gradual so the economic impacts are minimized. Meanwhile, we all can continue to read Ty and Charlene’s timely and informative articles in health and diet to give us other options, strategies and hope when we are diagnosed with cancer. In many cases, it can be our own magnificent bodies that can successfully treat these cancers if we just give it what it needs.
Thank you so much, John.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share this with us.
Blessings and love!
The only truth about Israel and cancer is that cancer patients in Gaza cannot get treatment in their own country owing to embargoes on medication and prevention of cancer patients from seeking treatment outside Gaza.
That’s terrible to hear, Caroline. 🙁
We’ll be sure to keep Israel in our prayers.
Chaga is considered anticancer and it helps and is natural. I ride horseback in the winter to find it as it is extremely rare and I only sell what I find. It is so much fun to help people get better and give them hope if they have cancer. CanadianChaga.com is my site. There is lots of fake Chaga out there so please only buy from people that live in the forest as I do. If they have an address in the city, Well it does not grow there so you may be tricked into buying fake Chaga.
