HELD FOR RANSOM
Quacks at the AMA and American Cancer Society
- Concerned about a doctor, alternative treatment method or 'cure-all' claim? It might be wise
to check with the The American Medical Association
or the The American Cancer Sociey and
do a little research on the person, method of treatment or claim and see if
it is listed as safe, dangerous, useless, a scam etc.
- And talk to your doctor.
- And talk to other cancer patients; you'll find tons of them at this
website.
- And do some research at the local library. There are tons of books
on cancer research, treatment plans and what works and what doesn't work. In
the end, your OWN research will be the best research of all.
- And after you have collected the facts, use your own judgement;
If someone tells you that drinking
a quart of vodka everyday will cure your cancer, check with your doctor.
Assuming you have half-a-brain, you can pretty much scratch this
cure off the list of thing to do.
If someone else says that eating 100 grams of Vitamin C will do the trick, ask your doctor.
While this may not kill you, it may have some side effects that make you
wish you were dead.
If someone says you shold increase the vegetable content of your diet,
start exercising more and increase your vitamin consumption to
an 'elevated' amount (such as 10g-50g per day), to a terminal
patient, there is little to be lost and if it works, much to be
gained at very little cost; in fact, veggies are cheaper than meat
so you might even be able to pay for a large portion of the
additional amounts of Vitamin C.
- How do you decide what's best? Even the folks at the AMA and
'respectable' American Cancer Clinics make mistakes. For example, the Mayo
Clinic issued a report that Vitamin C had no curative effect on
cancer patients in a study they did, yet clinics around the world
dispute that finding. Who do you believe?
- Believe in what works for you and don't let 'information overload'
paralyze you. DO SOMETHING HEALTHY FOR YOU and very likely
your symptoms will improve.
Read, Learn, Act!
should be your keywords.
- But don't spend forever reading without acting. Cancer waits
for no one and you need to act fast and the sooner the better. If your doctor tells you that
you have less than 30 days to live and by taking large amouns
of vitamin C you find you are still alive 6 months later, it doesn't
mean he was wrong, he was simply going by 'old data' and you beat the
odds. Many people who change their diets, start new exercise patterns
and cut out toxins from their life beat the odds. You can too.
- "Trust us, we're experts!" is the title of a book that
explains many 'trusted organizations' are actualy fronts for lobby
interests in Washington DC and report what their 'sponsors' want them
to report and ignore data that would cost their sponsors money. When
any large organizaton makes a statement that 'this will work, this
will not work and that is useless and that is dangerous', consider
several opinions, from your own doctor, to patients here who have tried
various treatment plans and can give you live, actual data from a real
person and don't forget to do your own research through the library,
websites and Universities.
- Speaking of Universities, some of the best clinical trials are
going on there and you may wish to join one or start your own. If you
and a group of terminally ill patients believe you all want to try a 'veggie diet
with a heavy dose of Vitamin C on a daily basis and a rigorous exercise
program', you might find a group of physicians who would be keen on
monitoring the progress of the group and even if a few of you
fail, with that sort of study it is likely you will all experience
a prolonged life in much better health and dignity, rather than
the typical 'end-of-days' nightmare most cancer patients face.
- Healing isn't just about making people live longer. It involves
making people feel better each day they are here and in addition
to traditional treatments described at this website, many of the
alternative treatments offer substantial advantages; less toxicity,
zero or low radiation, often no dangerous surgery and if this
sort of 'non-invasive' treatment let's you live your last days
in peace, free of pain, only a Quack would argue against following
such a plan.
