RE: Oasis Hospital & The Problem with Practitioners

January 14, 2006

The biggest problem I have is with practitioners who portray themselves as

strictly alternative when they should be using the term complementary or

something like that. I've had friends who have seen alternative therapists

and think they are getting vitamin c, laetrile, etc when in fact there has

been some chemo slipped in the I.V. This to me is unscrupulous as a patient

who does not know they are getting chemo or finds out and doesn't want it,

may stop the therapy before all the cancer cells are killed. Then they have

the added problem of dealing with the strong cancer cells that made it

through the low dose chemo.

In Max Factor's son's case the treatment was effective, but people who see

the Oasis advertising may think that he was cured strictly by alternative

means. Most patients take advertising at face value and don't know enough

to ask the right questions. I just happened to be speaking with Dr. Andrade

who makes no bones about the fact that he is an oncologist and uses chemo,

albeit in innovative ways.

Having toured the Mexican clinics over the last four years I'm seeing a

trend towards full dose chemo. Now, Oasis is essentially giving the same

treatment that's available in the U.S. Although they are giving alternative

therapies in addition to the full dose chemo, it's a long way from where they

started.

It is written: " At Hope For Cancer clinic Dr. Andrade who works there told me

that he did the protocol for Max Factor's son with 2,000 mg of 5FU directly into

the liver "

I suppose that 5FU coursing through our entire system would be more toxic than a

direct injection into the liver but then again I have no medical or other

license hanging on my wall. I do recall, however, Ralph Moss complaining about

what he believe to be 'cold' oncologists at Sloan Kettering saying, when

speaking about 5FU, calling it,

'Five Feet Under'. Regardless, we are slowly hearing/learning that Alternative

practitioners and those calling themselves, 'Integrative', are using certain of

the chemotherapy drugs. We know that do it with IPT and now I have heard of

Tamoxifen as well as 5FU being used. Live and learn.
