Re: The diet; and other info.

My wife's doctor who is in Mexico also keeps low on the radar. I have never once

heard him say he successfully treats or mitigates cancer. He quietly admitted to

me once after much coaxing that he has successfully treated over 50 people with

cancer. I seldom recommend him for fear that either the prospective patient

won't follow the program or won't respond to the treatment. . It's probably

selfish of me and maybe I should reconsider. But since my wife isn't out of the

woods yet, I'm hesitant. I'm not entirely sure I can vouch for it with all

certainty. One thing I used to find amusing, but more and more annoying, is how

people who warned my wife about the treatment she was following, now say that

she's alive after two years with absolutely no complications because she

believes in the treatment, as if the treatment itself didn't work. How many

people believe in chemo and die? I get pangs of guilt not promoting my wife's

treatment, especially since one of the people who

selfishly went out of their way to try to convince my wife to follow chemo just

died. I thought maybe if we had done as much to convince her as she had done to

convince my wife, she would still be with us. But my wife reminds me of another

case where we tried and tried to convince a close friend of hers to no avail.

You can lead a horse to water... Also, there is always a very strong pressure

from family members not to follow altenative means. Even within my own family,

my sisters (God bless them with their good intentions) called just about every

day trying to convince my wife to go with what was " tried and true " . It seems

this group is one of the few ways to get the word out there are. How very

sad. Another way is to join the American Cancer Society and just be there for

people to see you're still alive after 2 years. I debated supporting that

organization that promotes something I disagree with, but they do save at least

some lives. I could be wrong, there tough.

Maybe those who survive do so despite the cut, burn, poison. I don't know.

Hello Victor,

While reading your email it struck me that your family members might be

causing your wife more harm then good calling her each day. you wrote

" Even within my own family, my sisters (God bless them with their good

intentions) called just about every day trying to convince my wife to go

with what was " tried and true " . "

Are they still calling all the time? If so, Let them know that while

you appreciate their concern it would be best for your wife if they

didn't call every day stressing her out. Stress, as we all know here,

is not good for anyone dealing with Cancer.

Just my 2 cents.

You are so right. And that's why a lot of people relent and cave into

pressures not to follow alternate. And can you blame them? Nothing is so certain

or proven, at least not by established science. Fortunately, they did let off.

They probably didn't feel they were calling so often, but since there are 4 of

them, it really added up. My wife was very gracious and able and was not

dissuaded. She's a very difficult woman to dissuade once she's made her mind up.

Tell me about it.
