Hi ,

I have used alternative/complementary treatment ever since being dx 12 years ago

this month.....in Oregon naturopaths are licensed physicians, and my oncologist,

the great Dr. Druker is well aware of it, and when I have a question about a

supplement, I can run it by his oncology pharmacist if I want. He has witnessed

first hand how I got rid of the Gleevec rash that I had for a year (on 400mg) by

an alternative treatment, just as I was increasing to 800mg a day. This

technique was called NAET and is based on eastern medicine and channels of

energy. We eliminated my allergic skin reaction to Gleevec.

And I do drink green tea and believe in lot of other helpful alternative things

that you can do (like eating an alkaline diet, eating anti-oxidant foods, etc.)

BUT.....I strongly disagee with the statement you have written above, and of

course this is just another person's opinion. There is a well researched book

titled Remarkable Recovery about all the diseases and cancers where people do

have spontaneous recovery and there is not one case of CML. We have an acquired

genetic mutation that we can't undo.....even our drugs cannot undo it, it is

thought because this flaw happened in a progenitor stem cell (from which other

cells originate).

(We are starting to see some people who are off drug and remaining pcru, esp.

after interferon, but that data is not long enough to say that they have

actually been cured).

I do not agree that people cause their own acquired diseases.....there is

genetics, environment that you have no control over, etc.........some personal

factors, like stress, might contribute. And I do not believe that people have a

desire to die prematurely because their treatment is not successful. This notion

that you caused your own cancer is a hurtful notion and has been discarded by

most people in the mental health profession.

Personally, I think believing is part of healing.....and I expect to be a

survivor (but I know I could also be wrong about that). I expect to die from

something other than cml.....like maybe old age. As I sit here typing, I have a

dragon hanging from the ceiling over my shoulder, and I believe that having a

dragon in the house wards off evil and brings you good luck!

My 2 cents,

C.
