Re: - Alternative Cancer Treatment Failures

[Guest guest]

Thank you, , for the prolific write-up. Unfortunately, apart from

appreciating your knowledge, I could not discuss, being a layperson in so many

ways in this fight against the big C.

The biggest fumble in this healing journey is - what to do, which

doctor/naturopath, chemo or no (some people have healed so well from

conventional and others have suffered miserably at the hands of their doctors) -

even questioning a doctor doesn't mean we know what we are doing.

Then, insurance is another matter that can dictate a person's choice of

treatment. So, sometimes, we make choices based on some kind of lottery - like a

person thinking, well, a person can cross the road at the light and still be hit

by some crazy driver, hence the mentality if I'm going to die, I would go

anyway, so, I'll do the best I can (meaning still not knowing what to do but

just do something out of pain, desperation, not knowing, etc.).

I've had friends who eat so unhealthy, don't exercise, smoke, and when they got

sick, went to some doctor in their insurance network, and in the end, they were

cured and back to normal resuming their former lifestyles, although I knew of

several who woke up and changed a great about their lives. Sorry if I'm going

off the discussion.

As for carrots are high in sugar yet have necessary antioxidants - that has

confused me, to eat or not to eat carrots. One naturopath says this, another

says something else. Beet too. Then ayurvedic says one thing, and Tom Wu says

ferment the juice on the counter and drink through the day.

There is no education on nutrition - the basics are, if anyone cares to be

aware, is not to eat so much fast food/fried food/meat, and to exercise

regularly, but really, when a person gets sick, the diminishing morale and

personal hardship (finance, loss of job, sense of security about job and life in

general) suddenly kick in fast and we try to learn about what can alleviate the

health issue, but by then, we have to learn all about conventional/alternative

very quickly, and in the process, are confused, desperate and think, well, if

it's time to go, it's time to go, if not, I'll beat this thing somehow, but I

don't know how.

Sorry if I'm rambling, but I wish hubby had a doctor like you who can " feel "

what the patient is going through -I mean, even when hubby says, let's just do

chemo and let the dice roll, honestly, it's because we don't know what to do.

I remember your earlier remarks from some older post(s) - I think it went

something like this, and apologies if I got it wrong - " I thought I was above

all this " (?), " I used to be a skeptic " - that was very big of you to say that

publicly, thank you.

Please do send future thoughts to this group, I am sure there are many who are

grateful for what you contribute but may not necessarily " know " enough to

discuss.
