Re: Re: My Current Protocol, for better or worse. Placebo effect

[Guest guest]

The statement: " If you think something is going to work, it will. Conversely, if

you are

convinced that something won't work, it won't. " is fine to use in a general

sense but hardly absolute.

The cemeteries are full of people that believed Chemotherapy, Surgery, and

Radiation would keep them alive just as many that thought their Alternative ways

would--but didn't.

Of course having a positive attitude does seem to be better than being negative

but to the extent it cures serious cancer? I think about when I was really

'pounding' the cancer by using a well-hyped Glyconutrient heavily. I really

felt good about it....................then I had a recurrence. ??

There is ample evidence that many people that die while undergoing conventional

treatments would have lived as long, or longer, doing nothing at all.

Dealing with cancers and within a certain time period, five years for example,

often results in misleading results. We often read of the excitement with

people's tumors shrinking while doing Chemotherapy or Radiation and yet their

physician does not admit to them this 'response' may have nothing to do with

survivability.

My neighbor, more than five years into his Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) is now

dealing with Mets to a couple of new areas and he felt very secure because,

" they caught it early and got it all " .........except for the mets. What

arrogance we experience when a surgeon or Oncologist says, " we got it all " .

Millions of cancer cells could be in the body and they have the gall to say " we

got it all " ? How many cancer victims are told that the biopsy they are about

to receive can, and often does, result in 'seeding' of cancer cells into the

Lymph system thereby creating an environment for Metastasis? I know of nobody

ever told this fact though my Urologist admitted I was correct when I brought up

the subject.

40+% of the people supposedly being cured via the Placebo effect is almost half

the cancer patients. I question whether almost 50% of cancer patients are

being cured under any circumstances and especially because of the placebo

effect. Might there be a high percentage of 'cures' in other than cancer

situations? Of course there might be and not necessarily because of the placebo

effect but rather because the body is always trying to survive and does one heck

of a job in spite of us. Many of us live until old ages in spite of horrendous

eating habits. The greatest success of the Allopathic system is that 'Most

Diseases are Self Limiting'. In many cases, many that die, might have lived and

lived a long life if left alone.

My aunt, 100 two months ago, lives a typical Italian life-style but what she

doesn't do is............go to the doctor. When asked about a Pap Smear she

asked, " what's that? " .
