i guess everyone is entitled to an opinion.
i would like to point out that the above person's belief's have never been studied in clinical trials. all of that information is from testimonials, which, scientifically, do not count for anything.
i think it quite arrogant that people who have no medical training quote snippets of information they were told or read on perhaps on a web site making claims in an effort to sell a product.
sugar is fine and does not cause cancer to grow. i have read all the BS theories. they are BS. if you had ever taken a class in biochemistry or physiology you would not be quoting this nonsense. there have been no randomized trials. none. that is how fact is separated from fiction. not testimonials. instead of mindlessly repeating things you are told, learn something about the science behind it.
thinking that herbs will cure her cancer and prevent the need for surgery is foolishness. doing so allows valuable time to pass and the cancer will spread, so that months from now, a surgical cure will not be possible. telling people to avoid western medicine because your opinion is it is wrong and evil.. telling people to take herbs.. this is irresponsible. do you want this woman's death to be on your hands? she has an excellent chance of cure with surgery, probably well above 90%. can you say the same for your herbs? of course not. there have been no clinical trials.

Unfortunately, there are many people who make unfounded claims so they may profit from the misfortune of others. In my opinion, the single largest advance in medicine in the last hundred years isn't vaccines or antibiotics, it is the randomized clinical trial. A randomized trial is the only way to determine whether or not a treatment is effective. Somebody stating "this treatment worked for me" is what is known as 'testimonial evidence' and is statistically invalid. I urge everyone to view unproven treatments with a high degree of suspicion and thoroughly investigate the scientific basis of those claims.
