Note from Dr. Moss: This week I begin a two-part discussion in my occasional Friendly Skeptic series, looking at a group of products sold by Mannatech, Inc., a network marketing giant. My goal, as a Friendly Skeptic, is not to prejudge or to disparage unfairly, but simply to determine whether or not there is a solid scientific basis for the claims made on behalf of these products.

The main danger I believe is that patients will not only lose money but will also lose precious time. Cancer is a complex disease. It requires professional help. Regardless of the sometimes uncaring attitude of certain errant members of the medical profession, one should not reject everything that conventional medicine has to offer in favor of a regimen discovered on the Internet.
The answer is not simply to construct a do-it-yourself program, but to find expert and sympathetic guidance in the rapidly expanding realm of complementary oncology.
