My Mother is on her third oncologists to date and is refusing all chemo, radiation and surgery. Just realize that Mainstream medicine dictates that oncologist are only "allowed" to offer chemo, radiation, and surgury, legally by law. Also 75% of the salary of most oncologistscomes from chemo. Therefore many will be far less apt to not strongly push for what thier income relies upon. My Mother is using natural alternatives to cancer. Unfortunately none of these choices are covered by Medicare or insurance. Nonetheless, compared to the average medical cost per each cancer patient that can easily result to $250,000 alternatives cost a fraction of that. The key to healing cancer is addressing the root cause. Not one treatment in mainstream medicine does this. They treat the symptoms- tumors etal. Being free of the symptoms (tumor free) does not mean the cancer is gone. Thus the reason why we see cancer return and spread after the immune system is destroyed by toxins that destroy healthy cells too and not just cancer cells when we need our immune system to be the strongest.   If people do not address their diet, lifestyle and environmental exposures nothing will stop their cancer from returning. I wish you well in this search. The best Book I would recommend anyone just starting to fight cancer and those already afflicted would be by Bill Henderson and it's called "Cure your Cancer- Your Guide to the Internet" This is the most comprehensive book I have yet to read on safe natural choices in healing cancer and also for those who opt for toxic choices like chemo to not die from the damages of the chemo before the cancer would have taken their life.  While this website refuses to allow link sharing- this book provides hundreds of links that will take you right to the sources of products, lists of doctors and therapies and studies. It saved me months of non-stop researching for real choices to help my Mom. I am not affiliated with this author in any way and I ahve read more books and websites then I could ever count. It really is a life saver.     Pamela TX Sun, 30 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT Pamela TX Would you please contact me via private message.

I would suggest visiting his website first. That's what I did because I am a skeptic as I have had good experiences and not so good experiences with mainstream and alternative doctors. It pays to do our homework. In his site you will find a lot of the information for free that is in his book spread out through his newsletter archives in the button to the left of the screen. This will also give you updates on newer upcoming choices. I joined his newsletter too and have found a lot of the information useful but you do not need to do that just to check it all out.   The title of his web site is called, "Beating Cancer Gently" Doing a search with that title and the name Bill Henderson will pull up his site. He has a newer edition of his book. I keep referencing the older one as this new one just came out a few months ago. I have both books (bought the old one used on Ebay) and I used it to help my Mom before getting the new one-would recommend the newer one for more links and more up to date choices- also changes. The title of the new book is called "Cancer-Free Your Guide to gentle Non-toxic healing" (Second edition) I can't remember if I mentioned this already so it may be repetition...he also offers the ebook you can get in an instant download. In that they have active links to take you directly to information realted in the book...studies, doctors, suppliers etc. I liked that a lot and opted for it too-but reading a lot on line is not as convienient as being able to take a book with us anywhere. My first book from him looks ragged because I dog earred so many pages to check out all references and sources. Each supplier I have selected from many he offers thus far has been top notch and affordable. Unfortunately that is often a determining factor in choices to healing when we know we will have to foot the bill in most alternative choices. Hang in there and be well. Prayers coming your way.God Bless, Pamela Pamela TX Sun, 30 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT my husband has advanced stage 4 colon cancer and i have been taking him to a holistic clinic for IV Vit c treatments,  the web site is www.brightspot.org  lots of success with this treatment.  good luck with your husband. cancer fighter Fri, 12 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT You might want to check out Dr James Forsythe (Century Wellness) in Reno Nevada. He offers many good treatments and the clinic claims excellent results. I don't know anyone personally who has gone to him but it's worth checking in to. Good luck. SNETREM Thu, 18 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT Thank you very much.  With all my heart I believe the anwer to many of our illnesses especially cancer is in herbs and natural supplements.  I believe I now have an internet degree in cancer with all the research I have done.  I checked both the sites and have saved them.  Keep up your good work and thank you again.  Janet livingbyfaith Sun, 02 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT  On 10/12/2007 cancer fighter wrote:my husband has advanced stage 4 colon cancer and i have been taking him to a holistic clinic for IV Vit c treatments,  the web site is www.brightspot.org  lots of success with this treatment.  good luck with your husband.Hi caregiver,I was wondering what your husbands experience with I.V. C treatment has been like. I  have a stage IV rectal cancer, and have just found a local doctor here who gives I.V. C.  I am thinking of starting in the coming week. Any comments on your husband's experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! sopa71 Thu, 27 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT Great site, thanks lots of info.  Janet livingbyfaith Mon, 14 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT
