We have to keep plugging away at what we know from experience to be the truth and hope that minds will open and cancer patients will be spared the horror of traditional treatments that are most often ineffective and destructive to the quality of one's life.To lab-lady You are so right about the response to messages such as Angelben's. Silence! But on reflection I am thinking that this is a step forward. Two years ago when I first began posting messages about the successes of many alternative treatments, the responses were many. Most were angry and negative and some accused me of being evil and akin to a "snake oil salesman" who must have a product to dupe vulnerable victims with. I was told I should be ashamed of myself and one "professional medical caregiver" even told me I could be prosecuted if my true identity were discovered. Many many times I was told to "STAY OFF THIS BOARD." So yes, I would say the silence is a positive sign. As is the fact that I receive a large number of private messages every week from people who have been through all that allopathic medicine has to offer to no avail. The numbers wanting to learn all they can about healing naturally are growing by leaps and bounds. I agree with you that someone should be doing a study comparing the conventional treattment results with the alternative. Sadly I don't see this happening. The establishment is too powerful at this point. My heart goes out to you in the loss of your husband. Perhaps your voice on this subject will carry more weight because of this sad personal experience.P.S. Were your original messages removed from the board? -----quote------On 1/2/2008 lab-lady wrote:Well the response her is overwhelming and there lies the problem. Cancer treatment has become like a religion where people go and blindly put threir faith.I dont know about virus treatments but I do believe that the research is being done in the wrong place.Big business rules the world and in this case innocent people die.My husband had all the usual treatments and lived 5 1/2 months but he was robbed of quality of life. I advised him only to have the surgery but he put his faith completely in the medical professions hands and they let him down.Perhaps someone needs to do a study with people doing the standard treatment as well as a group doing  alternatives. Inform patients and give them the option and let's see what happens.Think outside the square.-----end quote------ Shemay Wed, 02 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT Thank you both for your replies. Yes, some of what I said has been deleted, but my intent is only to help educate people, so they can make informed decisions about their health care. There are several alternative cancer programs that work, without the side effects of "Chemo". I am writing a book about this, as I have been in medical research & I know first hand how our medical education is controlled by "big Pharma". We are walking on thin ice, when we offer something to help patients recover, that could undermine their huge profits. It's interesting that many of the people that I have met in clinical trials have been excutives of the pharmaceutical industry, who have personal cancer themselves. They were not doing the "chemo", because they want a good quality of life, so they are in the best trials, with the least side effects. I have talked with many of them personally. I know how to educate a person, so they can follow some of these non-toxic programs that can save their lives & their quality of life.Benjamin Angelben Thu, 03 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT
