Re: Off topic, Cancer & DLP

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

About 2 weeks ago I had posted about not taking DLP with Cancer, but I could

not remember where I had read that. There was a response that Dr. Bihari

had said it was OK and actually suggested it for some type of cancer (can't

remember who posted or what type of cancer).

Below is the much earlier post suggesting that it should be avoided for some

types of cancer. Please see below.

Opps, I guess I should have read through the whole post because there was

another chat at the bottom that explains who and what Dr. Bihari suggested

DLP for. Looks like breast cancer.
