Tiggers Mom Sun, 08 Apr 2007 00:00:00 GMT I have recently gotten TCC news too....I've been finding some interesting info, non-traditional.  Approaches developed by Dr. Hulda Clark are very interesting.  A couple of her books:  Curing All Cancers and Curing Advanced Cancers, Preventing All Cancers, etc.  Her research is fascinating and it is encouraging to read about "healing" possibilities instead of the other, "here's what we can do, but it doesn't help much other than buy a bit more time."
