PAGING DR. DANZIG

Thursday, May 13th, 2010 at 10:30am by

Alright, so I’m not a doctor, and I fully acknowledge that the medical business is just as crooked as pretty much every other business in the world these days (I don’t even like metal, dude – I just couldn’t turn down the multi-million dollar contract the Sheinhardt Wig Company offered me to help run this site), but I do know that telling a cancer patient “Don’t bother with chemo” is probably not the wisest idea in the world. A few years ago my aunt had breast cancer, and I’m reasonably certain that if when the doctor told her “You need chemo” she had replied “You need to suck my muthafuckin’ dick, I’m going to see a nutritionist,” she’d be dead right now. Ditto a whole lotta other cancer patients I’ve known. Again, I’m no doctor. I suppose it’s possible that all they really needed was some zinc n’ shit. But this seems like one of these instances where, y’know, you should probably just shut the fuck up and do what the medical professional tells you.

Then again, I’m not Dr. Danzig, Medicine Goth. Check out this excerpt from a recent interview with Vice:


So you have nothing to share, nothing to impart to those of us who are rapidly turning into jiggly piles of goo? It seems like it happens quick.
Uh, do you work out at all?

Not every day.
You don’t need to do it every day. Diet is really important and I think vitamins are really important also. Maybe you want to go to a nutritionist and find out what your body is lacking and what it’s not lacking. And I don’t mean a fucking quack, chemo, murdering doctor. I mean a nutritionist, who evaluates your blood and tells you what you’re deficient in and what you’re not deficient in.

Those are all good things to know, but they’re no surprise. You don’t have any one thing that…
If I can help it, I don’t go to modern doctors.

How come?
They’re full of shit.

Across the board? All of Western medicine?
Pretty much. If you had cancer would you get chemo? You’d be dead in a week.

I wouldn’t be dead in a week!
Bet you. [laughs]

What would you bet me? Let’s make this interesting.
I wouldn’t bet you anything, because in a week, even if you live, you’re not going to live that much longer! Chemo radiation will kill you, and it’s not the way to heal your body from cancer. You need to make your body stronger. Your body has natural things that fight off diseases. Cancer is just cells deteriorating more rapidly than your body can heal and fight it. So you have to find out what that imbalance is. Doctors are too busy writing scrips that they get kickbacks on and charging you hundreds of thousands of dollars for chemo.

Alright, I’ll take that bet, Glenn! Let’s inject you with nut cancer and then you can not get chemo and we’ll see how it works out. You’re ready to put your money where your mouth is, right? Drop me a line, let’s do this. We can even get the Metal Injection dudes to document it all on video, and maybe Metal Insider can get Scion to sponsor it or something. “Watch Glenn Danzig Overcome Testicular Cancer by Sheer Will Power.” It’ll be swell!

    The interesting thing is he didn’t even know what cancer is. He said what is actually quite the opposite. Cancer is the the uncontrolable growth of cells. Not the rapid deteriation. Oh dear. I bet he also thinks it’s a virus.

    • therealmetalmatt

      Actually, some viruses are known to cause various forms of cancer. Papillomavirus which causes genital warts is associated with cervical cancer for example

        but cancer itself IS NOT a virus

    I have a friend who studied Chinese medicine. At one point, she decided to switch over to a “holistic birth control method”. She was pregnant the next month. Point is, there are alternatives for a lot of conditions, but when it comes to serious stuff, Western medicine is still the best bet.

    he does have a point about doctors slinging meds that they’re paid to sling. after all, healthy people don’t make money for hospitals and doctors. but with that said, chemo won’t kill you in a week. hahaha

  • The Impaler

    Oh I know. I shouldve been more clear.

  • http://www.hibernum.net hibernum

    My co-worker had cancer. He did radiation treatment in January. He’s now cancer free. Still alive, I know. Crazy, but I should have hooked him up with Danzig, he would have won the bet and made some money.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ryan-Sean-Heron/9391234 Ryan Sean Heron

    I’m actually with danzig on this one. I guess that makes me crazy. people have actually cured supposedly “incurable” cancers in holistic fashions. there is the simple fact that cancer cells cannot survive in an alkaline environment. he’s right about the chemo. chemo makes you much more sick than the actual cancer does. It does help people in some cases but it is widely over used and abused by doctors. Mainly because most doctors are just shills for big pharma.

    • shep

      People recover from incurable diseases all the time. It used to be “because” of prayer or a miracle, now it’s some special diet, sugar pills (homeopathy) etc.

      Yes chemo will make you sick but it will also increase your chances of surviving in the long run.

      Are almost all doctors in the entire world involved in a secret conspiracy to con people or are they mostly trying to help people the best they can with a few bad apples abusing their position? I’d say the second option is far more likely.

      • cougar party

        Oh there you go using logic again.

      • Alex_P

        Exactly. Exactly. I’m glad I’m not the only one who knows how fuckin’ magnets work on this site–I’m sorry–up in this bitch!

      • Gaia

        Now why’d you go play the truth card again?

      • enemyofgod72

        Comparing Holistic Medicine to prayer is just plain unintelligent. Chemo kills indiscriminantly not just cancer cells. I watched my grandmother survive cervical cancer only to die of pneumonia a year after being cancer free. The chemo killed her cancer as well as her immune system which killed her in the end. I wish she had an alternative.
        And to answer you query, Yes it is a conspiracy. Western doctors pray at the alter of Big Pharma and dismiss alternatives by calling it magic or witch doctoring. Anyone in this country that is diagnosed with cancer is given no other options than chemo, radiation or drug therapies. All of which can and do have serious, lethal side effects. Claiming that it is not possible that there are other alternatives is just ignorant. Doctors are good people trying to help people with the knowledge they have but unfortunately western medicine is a wholly owned subsidiary of the pharmaceutical industry.

        • shep

          They are comparable to prayer in that neither have any proof that they work, in fact it has been shown that both (or examples of both at least) are no better than placebo. So until you can back up the various claims of holistic medicine with evidence via good studies (well controlled, on humans, etc), or at least come up with some kind of reasonable mechanism for how they work that fits with how we understand the human body and the universe, I’ll dismiss it.

          Sure it’s possible that there are other better ways to deal with cancer, that doesn’t mean that holistic medicine is that way. The methods that are used will have been proven to improve survival length/chance. For example your grandmother would probably have died earlier, of the cancer, without chemo.

        • shep

          and to clarify:

          By sugar pills I was referring to homeopathy – one of the more obviously stupid holistic medicines.

          My initial reply was about holistic medicine and not about the benefits or lack of, of eating healthily. I agree that eating good food etc. is a good way to reduce illness and if your doctor would tell you not to bother, just get some pills then they are probably not a good doctor.

          A nutritionist could possibly refer to either a holistic practitioner or a type of doctor depending on the type of advice offered. Considering that Danzig is advising a visit to a nutritionist instead of having chemo if you have cancer I assume he is referring to the “quack” kind.

    • Bierko

      Bullshit like that gives me the impression you read Susanne Somers book, where she is is completely full of shit, cover to cover.

  • RayRay

    I just recently watched a documentary called “The Beautiful Truth” about this topic. It basically says proper diet can cure cancer. Obviously if you have 3 months to live I am sure eating carrots all day long is not going to cure the cancer but I do believe that proper diet will keep you healthy and maybe prevent cancer from ever happening. As a country we are fucking gross in what we consume. If you look at studies about indigenous cultures or the Inuit and see what they are dying from It will shock you. They have hardly no disease when compared to the general pop. As far as Danzig goes he prob should shut the fuck up. I believe most of the medicines doctors prescribe nowadays are killing us but for some people they are a necessity.

    • Dirtman73

      Spot on. What gets me is that a proper diet is no longer the norm for humans, it’s the oddity. What the fuck is wrong with modern society?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ryan-Sean-Heron/9391234 Ryan Sean Heron

      no no no. don’t you see, we are conditioned to believe that for every problem in the world, there is always a pill to fix it. how dare you suggest that pills aren’t the answer to everything. heresy I say!

    • Phil Anshlomo

      Like Aids in Africa?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Andrew-Sterner/1335958279 Andrew Sterner

      Um, the Inuit didn’t have diseases due to a lack of exposure to other people. The first example that comes to mind is the Aztecs meeting the Spanish. They had no real disease since they were never exposed to any, due to the lower amount of trade and communication with others. The Spanish roll into town, and now half of their population is rolling around with smallpox.

      As far as healthy diet being good….there’s no serious argument against that.

      And with regards to Senor Danzig..he’s a moron. Chemo is not worse than the cancer itself. If it were, nobody would use it. Cancer kills people, and the Chemo prevents many people with cancer from meeting Jeebus. If the medicines they prescribed us were killing us better than disease, we wouldn’t use them.

    • MaryAnne

      This is the best comment here, Ray.

      Cancer is a big mystery and while good food plays a big role, so do other factors (stress, environment, genetics, faith, will to live, etc. or maybe the good old-fashioned saying, “when your time is up, it’s up!”)

      I’ve seen miracles happen by hard work and will to live (people combating cancer and other diseases both holistically and with pharmaceuticals).

      Me, personally, I’d go the holistic route. I’ve had a few cancer scares and I attribute my very healthy lifestyle (mostly all organic, raw foods, non-processed foods, yoga, positive outlook) to positive outcomes!

      But I’m not going to put down what works for other people — especially when I’ve seen big changes in people.

      Look at people like Linda McCartney and Farrah Fawcett — both lived healthy lifestyles and died young. Yet people like Keith Richards live forever (bless his soul!) Still, I continue to eat healthy food because that is what makes me feel good (stay thin, stay positive, stay energetic). Who am I to judge anyone else? If someone wants to smoke and eat candy everyday and it makes them happy, so be it.

      We all do what we can. No need to trash on others. Stick to what you believe in and hope for the best.

  • dudehole

    Have some fucking respect for Glen! Jesus Christ. You all sound like a bunch of punks.
    Western medicine does NOT have all the answers. He’s right about doctors prescribing all sorts of shit and getting kickbacks.
    Doctors write you a prescription for pills at the drop of a hat. This whole country is numb because everyone is on something. Doctors should be prescribing lifestyle changes, exercise, etc instead of fucking pills.
    Eat only fast food, then go on lipitor. Be a lazy piece of shit, go on anti-depressents instead of working out. It goes on and on.
    Can’t believe all you dudes are so up the AMA’s ass.

    • Alex_P

      He gave dangerous and stupid advice. He deserves what he gets. Chemo will save you. Sugar pills won’t.

      What doctor ever said that working out is bad for you? Don’t you have food guides in the States? In Canada, the government tries to raise awareness about healthy eating.

      • dudehole

        yeah, so dangerous. The guy is entitled to his own opinion. I doubt there is one person who is going to base the cancer treatment on what Danzig said. So don’t be a FUCKING PUSSY and call it “DANGEROUS.”
        Plenty of people live long lives based on alternative medicine.
        Right now we have people who will spend their entire lives medicated, and there life will be shortened because of it. (at 8 on aderol, 20 on zanex, 30 on prozac, 40 on lipitor, 50 on diabetes medication…it’s pathetic cause this shit takes its own toll)

        by the way, in the states we get the shaft when it comes to health care. don’t u know? and never heard one doctor talk to me about nutrition. Doctors don’t get reimbursements for making people healthier like I know they do in the UK. only for prescribing drugs.

        • Alex_P

          I’m from Canada. You dudes do get shafted hard. That doesn’t change the fact that if my grandma misses an insulin shot, she severely endangers herself. You want to know how to improve American medicine? Socialize it. That doesn’t mean trusting some kooks. It means instituting a policy where everyone has access, regardless of class. Your system currently favours the elite. Obama’s policies are a step in the right direction, but they aren’t enough.

          Cancer’s a big deal. You may have heard about this. Herbs will not be sufficient to cure it.

          I do aim for prevention, and so should everyone else. Just don’t trust your life to alternative medicine. In critical situations, you’ll need more than a sugar pill. Choose the option that is backed by science, because you really only have one life.

          • enemyofgod72

            I’ve seen this “sugar pill” crap several times in these comments and it’s gotten on my last nerve. Why is anything other than western medicine described as being treated by sugar pills? Yes if you find out you have stage 4 cancer and are given only a few months to live no holistic medicine is going to help fast enough to save you. Your only option at that point is radical chemo and radiation. But if it is caught early there are alternatives. Also nutrition is more of a factor in overall prevention than anything else. Nutrition is science not a “sugar pill”. Chemo is poison plain and simple. If I have the option of herbs over poison, I’ll take the herbs every time. Alternative medicine is not just meditation and “sugar pills”, it is the use of specific herbs and minerals to help the body cure itself which it does very well. Herbs won’t cure everything but neither does “modern” medicine.

          • Alex_P

            Just to make myself clear to people who haven’t understood.

            Eat well.

            Get plenty of exercise.

            Avoid tobacco, alcohol and drugs.

            Don’t live in America.

            Cheers.

        • Pat

          Many alternative treatment pratictioners exploit people at the worst possible time – when they’ve exhausted all western medical options, which usually means there is little hope for a cure. Most of these qucks know exactly wehat they’re doing and have no shame because they’re in it for the money and self-aggrandizement. Modern medicine ain’t perfect, but I’ll take its effect on mortality any day over some 5,000 year old Far East quackery that can’t pass the scientific (method) smell test.

          • Alex_P

            It’s not always Far East. Homoeopathy was invented by a German quack.

    • soy el niño más bonito

      would not call someone who said something as stupid as he did an idiot? he doesn’t deserve more respect just because he’s a music icon.

    • soy el niño más bonito

      and doctors DO prescribe lifestyle changes. when i turned 18 and was going off to college, my doctor gave me a talk about making sure i’m eating right to avoid getting sick (especially with the close quarters of dorm life) and the freshman 15, about drug abuse and alcohol, about sex and all that healthy lifestyle crap. and when you get a heart attack, they don’t just shove a bunch of pills in your mouth and tell you to keep eating baconators, they tell you to eat more vegetables, less red meats, less fats, less of anything that will give you another one.

      the perception that doctors just throw pills at you is based on the fact that we go to doctors when there is ALREADY a problem, and the pills and whatnot are there to fix it IMMEDIATELY.

      • Alex_P

        I remember those talks. I was like “Wait, kids my age are getting laid?” I definitely have missed out.

    Glen did make some good points in this interview, and he is right about Western medicine to some extent.

So as an above poster said, sometimes Western medicine does still have the best answers!

  • Ian

    I’d just like to say that I am currently taking Biomedical Sciences and going into med school next year.
    Firstly, cancer is not just characterized by an uncontrolled growth of cells. That is one symptom, but others include angiogenesis, metastasis and immortality of cells.

    Secondly, chemo doesn’t necessarily kill you. Different chemo drugs inhibit different cellular mechanisms involved in things like cell replication, cell communication and shit like that. So really, chemo drugs do inhibit some cellular mechanism in most of your cells, so one could say that they are “killing you”. But the cancer cells will die off a lot faster than any critical cells in your body, unless the cancer has spread.

    Thirdly, cancer is not a disease or a virus or anything like that. It can, however be caused by certain diseases or viruses. Cancer is caused by mutations that can inhibit certain genes to be transcribed in the cell, which can affect the cell’s normal abilities..and can possibly enhance some abilities (like cell growth). At least two critical mutations are needed in one cell to cause cancer. This is not very common but it can be catalyzed by environmental elements (smoking, UV light).

    God damn, this guy is fucking stupid. Stick to your own domain, dick.

  • Peter C

    Danzig does make a good point, though. Western medicine is largely set up for treatment (i.e. addressing medical conditions or diseases that have already manifested themselves) rather than prevention. Unfortunately, many doctors receive only minimal training in nutrition during medical school. I’m talking maybe one class, if that. Something like 20 hours worth of education. In that sense, while they can make recommendations for eating healthier, or being more active, they are not necessarily the experts in those particular fields.

    Additionally, anyone and their dog can be a “nutritionist,” so beware. A registered dietitian (RD) has completed a nationally-certified, four-year college program followed by a year-long post-graduate internship to earn that credential. Many continue on to get Master’s degrees or PhD’s. They are the nutrition experts, plain and simple. They are among the few health professionals actually qualified to be administering the clinical nutrition services Danzig is referring to in regards to blood tests and nutrient deficiencies, etc.

    Truthfully, Western medicine does – and will continue to – play an essential role in public health. I just hope that we can continue to work towards emphasizing a more proactive, prevention-centered approach, rather than relying solely on the traditional, reactive approach of prescribing medication after medication. Unfortunately, what people eat plays a huge part. The research is there.

    I myself am headed into my dietetic internship next year to be an RD so I have to say it is great knowing that there are other metalheads out there in the health professions.

  • enemyofgod72

    First I admit some of what Danzig said is not said as well as it could have been, ie cancer is deteriorating cells. But overall what he said is true. The way to be healthy and prevent cancer in the first place is mainly through nutrition. But since most who have posted here seem to be strongly supporting western “modern” medicine, I ask only this: What is the last thing that modern medicine actually cured? We treat cancer. We treat AIDS. We treat diabetes. What have we cured since Polio? Don’t bother googling for an answer. The answer is a simple nothing. Modern medicine has cured nothing. There is no money in a cure. The money is in treatment. You can continue to be treated or you can look elsewhere for answers. It’s your choice.

    • Alex_P

      Yeah man, don’t bother googlin’ that shit. Don’t bother checkin’ my bullshit.

      How about smallpox? We sure done cured that, ain’t we.

      Oh wait, it was cured by widespread vaccination. So I guess that’s a treatment.

      • enemyofgod72

        Smallpox? Reaching a bit far back aren’t we? Dr Salk developed the Polio vaccine in 1952 and it was licensed and put into widespread use 10 years later. But perhaps I was a bit hasty since the recent development of the Human Papillomavirus vaccine which appears to be very effective in preventing one specific type of cervical cancer. But I would add that technically vaccines aren’t a cure b/c they are not 100% effective and there are those for whom the vaccine actually gives the disease to rather than teaching their immune systems how to fight it. But that is just a technicality.

        • AsepticSceptic

          Modern medicine = last 50 years?

    • Rachel

      We can’t actually cure AIDS, diabetes, or cancer. With cancer, prevention and early action are the greatest key in ridding cancer cells, which makes treatment the only viable option. One can’t predict cancer. Diabetes is tough because finding a way to eternally regulate insulin, without taking the shots and following the diet, would be impossible. AIDS is something I don’t feel educated enough to have an opinion on, but the actual treatment of AIDS would simply preventative, i.e. abstinence.

      • Alex_P

        Or condoms for AIDS. Abstinence doesn’t work, because human beings that aren’t me can and will get laid. Condoms have such a low rate of failure that it’s stupid not to use them unless you’re in a VERY stable relationship and know your history and situation.

        Otherwise, you’re right.

  • KilledByDeath

    Although he’s not too educated on the topic, he does have some kind of a point, since i believe Chuck Schuldiner died from pneumo, caused by immune system failure after chemo.

    • Alex_P

      If he had received the treatment earlier, he would have survived. His cancer was too advanced. Who’s to blame? The American private medical institution, which is not analogous to “western medicine”.

    • Mr. Parker

      As in pneumonia? Or a pneumothroax? If you have cancer and you are receiving treatment, a side effect is that your immune system is destroyed. Once that happens, anything that would have been normal flora on you skin or even in your body, gets into your lungs. You can get pneumonia and die. I had a patient that had happened to. No matter what you do, it will more then likely take your life. That is a pretty big risk to take or you can not treat the cancer and more then likely die anyway…take your pick. Modern medicine is not a miracle.

    Damn, what a fucking moron. Cancer isn’t cells dying, it’s cells rapidly developing at an uncontrollable rate. And chemo is a totally separate treatment from radiation. Chemo is chemicals, that’s why it’s called chemo.

    I am a nurse and my floor gets cancer patients all the time. Danzig is a douche. I seen people get fucked up on chemo cuz chemo can kill you faster then cancer. I’ve also seen people go on and live healthy lives after chemo. And people that did not go with chemo due to their cancer being too advanced. And they died. Nutrition is a huge part and the docs always go over it but that is mostly left for the nurse to go over.

      Thank you.

      For the record, nurses deserve more money.

    Thanks for the clarification, I almost thought it stood for “Real Doctor”.

    Obviously Danzig has somehow mastered time travel. If he isn’t going to modern doctors, that means he must be going to doctors that pre-date our life-spans. We shouldn’t be railing on the motherfucker for being medically ignorant, but exalting him for being master of time!

    Danzig didn’t turn down a doctor’s help when he got fucked up on film, although he did lie about it and claimed (before he knew the video existed) that Danny used a knife or a metal object and almost went to the cops to file that as a false report until Danny released the video showing nothing. It was a great back and forth. Danzig used to be cool, but he’s a fucking douche now. The stories of his house on the web are equally douch-chilly.

    I think the guy from North Side Kings knocked him stupid because cancer is caused by uncontrolled cell growth not cells deteriorating. glen danzig is a fucking dildo licker

    He was right.
