Guest guest Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 You surely are going to write the book on overcoming the side effects of radiation and chemo! Glad things are going well for you. You talk about the medical people being so 'entrained' to the extent that they DO NOT WANT TO KNOW! This is truly extraordinary. I have a theory that doctors are essentially brain-washed (in the same way that some cults brain wash their adherents with sleeplessness and peer pressure.) Any comments on that?

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 How absolutely fabulous, . I've been reading your results for some time now and this is the best so far, IMO. I feel so bad for the oncologists and radiologist...it's like their minds cannot wrap around anything other than their slash and burn methods. Here they have you as proof that other methods work and even enhance what they're doing but they do not want to hear about it. It's also worth remembering if they do want to go along with something out of their norm it mean their job. HI feel if they truly cared they'd check into anything and everything that works and as they say in my neck of the woods...the proof is in the pudding.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 The brain washing part is kinda true. My son decided not to go to med school (that may be subject to change as he is feeling guilty) I get so mad at drs and he said it is not fair as they only know what they are taught and no way are they going to be taught alternative treatments. Even naturopaths who are taught and licensed do not really know what works and what doesn't as it still falls under some govt guidelines as to what they are allowed to do.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 , it would be really interesting if, at some point in this process, you had an opportunity to ask these doctors why they " don't want to know " what you're doing that is working so well. If we truly believe that the doctors want to help their patients and want them to get better, I'd be very interested in hearing their explanations about their reluctance to know what is working for you, that they might be able to share that information to save other patients from unnecessary stress and discomfort.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 There is a legal case reported in the San Diego Union Tribune, Feb 12, 2010 of a physician in s, Texas, Dr. Rolando Arafiles, whose nurse reported him to the Texas Medical Board because he, " ...improperly encouraged patients to buy herbal medicines and wanted to use hospital supplies to perform a procedure at a patient's home. " State investigators found several medical procedure violations by Arafiles. Based on the newspaper report he sounds like a doc who was looking out after the best interest of his patients. This threatens the reigning profiteering paradigm. In the US medicine has become as polarized as political and religious wedge issues. Any physician can tell you horror stories about other docs who lost their licenses or reputations when they expanded their practice into the world of alternatives. Physicians have economic and social stability if and only if they don't rock the boat. Most conversations I have with physicians are as stilted as if there are invisible medical-industry and hospital administration prosecutors in the room ready to pounce. Under the circumstances physicians are almost unnecessary middlemen when it comes to treating chronic disease. They could simply have pharmaceutical company reps, hospital accountants, and health insurers directly order treatments. Physicians who treat chronic diseases are largely stooges, toadies, and agents of these institutions. Their only function is to paint a facade of professionalism on this battle royale for your money.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 , I agree with all that you wrote, nontheless I think there's an additional aspect to the whole issue, and it is psychological. Here in israel things are not as bad as you describe them to be in the USA. several of the big hospitals even established oncological CAM sections, where a cancer patient can get treatment in disiplinaries such as acupuncture, herbal medicine (mostly adaptogens), visual imagery, psychotherapy massage therapy etc These hospitals are no dummies. They know the extent cancer patients have been using CAM in recent years and have decided as a matter of strategy to jump on the wagon. well...you think this would made doctors here, and especially oncologists, more open to natural oncology, but it DOES NOT. Most oncologist scorn it, and some are even down right arrogant as to tell their patients to not take any herbs or supplements when they are getting chemo or radiation. a doctor things of himself as someone who represents a guild of people who are all dealing with science, a called evidence based profession. They invest many years and quite a lot of money in their early years to get a license that gives them authority to treat people in ways that were " proven " to be " effective " . Along with that, unfortunately, comes the inflated ego that so many doctors have. When we look specifically at oncologists, now here's a group of doctors who are, in my opinion, especially miserable. Many areas of modern medicine have made such great advanced and leaps in the last 30-40 years. Oncology, on the other hand has fallen so much behind. appart from several monoclonal antibodies that were invented, and which extand survival in what can be measured in several months only, nothing really dramatic have changed in the field on oncology in all these years. same old chemo drugs, same old toxicity, same unresolved drug resistance, and same gloomy bottom line results. Now, when an alternative practitioner or a patient comes to an oncologist and shows him in their face that they managed to either cure themselves from cancer or dramatically improve their condition with the use of alternative measures, what do you thing it does to our big ego oncologist? I think it puts him in such a strong and extremely dissonance. In order to resolve their dissonance and protect themselves, this oncologist will dismiss it as placebo or spontaneous remission. if they don't resort to this pitiful dissonance resolution, their beliefs and the big ego they have developed all these years will come crashing down on him... How sad... my friend, i'm elated to see you making such great improvements in your condition...keep it up. we are all here for you...

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Most large American Cancer Centers such as Memorial Sloan Kettering also now have CAM departments. I think they do this so as not " lose business " but the CAM departments, in my opinion, are a joke. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gubi I should make it a habit to proofread my posts ) ----- Original Message ----- From: Gubi , I agree with all that you wrote, nontheless I think there's an additional aspect to the whole issue, and it is psychological.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Here's a post I recently sent to a number of my contacts and which is related to the Moss report on Hyperthermia and many of the comments recently posted: http://www.cancerdecisions.com/content/view/393/2/lang,english/ The above link again demonstrates Western Medicine's, especially that of American Oncologists, hesitancy to learn what works and what doesn't. Just because one may not have cancer is no reason to ignore these regular reports on Cancer and Alternative measures. Cancer will strike someone you know and that is fact. Why not be informed so you may ask the right questions? For example when my Urologist wanted to use a particular Chemotherapy and I responded, I researched that and it isn't effective........... he answered, " you're right " . That was the end of that conversation and the subject never came up again. It is seemingly evident that Western Medicine is not looking for cures but rather status quo. In fact, the link above demonstrates to me that they probably do this because of the sacred cash-cows, Chemotherapy and Radiation. Hyperthermia is often used alone in Alternative circles but as you will see, not in Conventional circles. Nothing 'Alternative' gets approved for trial unless accompanied by current 'Standard of care' which is the 'approved' methodology in use at the time. The worst part about trials is that they often use 'flawed' procedures and then when the trial fails, use it to suppress the Alternative method. My Urologist, for example as is the case with practically everyone that uses Alternative measures to combat cancer, does not want to know what I do and has never asked a question even though I am doing well after almost eight years. I do not believe, for one moment, that cancer cannot rear its ugly head again and that is what all cancer victims face. However, except for protecting the Cash-Cow doctors thrive on, wouldn't you, if you were a physician and one that took the Hippocratic Oath, want to know what might be working? They dare not because their leadership not only frowns on it, their leadership would squash them like a bug. My Urologist did say, however, and it must have been a weak moment, " I don't know what you are doing or what I am doing is working " . That's about it! His office does not even advise patients to use a Vitamin Protocol that the nation's leading Urologist, according to my doctor, uses in conjunction with current practices. When I asked why, he simply shrugged his shoulder and said, " they haven't proven it " . So a simple vitamin addition is avoided because he claims " it wasn't proven " . ???? The often acknowledged leading Urologist believes it is efficacious and while I used it, and another person I know uses it, and has done well, means nothing. This other person was getting regularly developing bladder tumors, 3 and 4 at a time until he used the Vitamin Protocol, with The Standard of Care, and still most would not use the protocol. It doesn't really amaze me because the theory of The Cash Cow and that of surgery supersedes the well-being of patients. Hard to swallow? No pun intended but keep thinking and eventually you will come to the same conclusion. Just imagine if a goodly percentage of Urology patients did well after just a couple of visits instead of quite a few visits with many leading to surgery? Case closed! Is that the answer? I recognize that with some professionals, besides fear of the establishment, there is a lot of ignorance and brainwashing going on and they simply follow the crowd. In any event Hyperthermia is alive and well in Europe and seems to offer a lot more hope than Conventional methods alone. Might this be the case with Alternative and Hyperthermia? Surely it would be.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 , just want to add my voice again to the chorus of well wishers and members of your support group. While I don't contribute frequently I am conscious daily of your struggle and pulling for you with all my heart. My neighbor has colorectal cancer and has been sentenced to all three, surgery, chemo and daily treatments of radiation. I took him some Vitamin D3 drops to help but his doctor forbade him to take them. Like Gubi said, they won't even acknowledge the benefit of natural supplemental help. I agree that you should write about your experience, when you are well and able, and blow the lid off this insidious coverup of alternative medical success. One of these days someone will break through the resistance... hopefully it may be you. Don't ever give up. Marji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
