So sorry Peg. Nothing more tragic than losing a child.

A lesson in moderation for all of us.

I'm sorry, also, Peg. But although I find your son's tragic illness and

untimely passing most unfortunate, I do not necessarily agree that it should

teach us any lession, other than that life can be short, and fate is

callous.

Well I didn't expect agreement with what I said. I was simply

projecting my own views having been very close to the situation.

I could also say that his diet was not the best - eating on the run

and eating lots of the wrong foods which would also stress the

body.

True. But aren't we all trying to maximize our health and lives?

As I write this, a dear friend of the family is about to die at any moment

of breast cancer. She is only 37, thin, beautiful, has two boys only 6 and

4. As far as I know she took good care of herself. She was tested and did

not have the breast cancer gene. Sometimes there are no answers.

Normally, I do not reply to subjects like this because it can be a

provocative subject both emotionally and legally, but given this

community seems to be open-minded and the mother's awfully young age,

you and other CRONers may find these resources to be helpful:

Logan: We're only interested in sites and sources that have credible

scientific backing by the mainstream scientific community.

Nevertheless I thank you for your concern. The young woman is beyond saving

and is on her deathbed.

A short post on this subject. My husband, son and I spent many

hours and much money following these alternative medicine

leads. My son spent 10 months sleeping in a hyperbaric oxygen

chamber and we followed many other programs all the way to

Mexico. I find it very regrettable that vulnerable people are - in

many but not all cases - preyed upon in order for the

practitioners to make bucks.
