Do you have the mailing address or telephone number in Ecuador? I close relative was just diagnosted with lymphoma and I want to help him finding out this alternative medication. My sister is a MD and she lives in Ecuador. Also I read about ESSIAC and FLOR-ESSENCE.Pls let me know the difference of the two products and If you have tried it, what are so far the results. Thank you. Franco Franco Thu, 28 Sep 2006 00:00:00 GMT first of all, if you or someone close to you has lymphoma, look into conventional chemotherapy first. secondly, from what i read, that product does not claim to help lymphoma. i found many web sites selling it and all the worthless products you mentioned for sale on the internet. i would strongly advise against betting you life on alternative products for lymphoma, especially considering current chemotherapy for lymphoma is quite good. 25 ways to spot Quackery: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/spotquack.html How Quackery Sells: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/quacksell.html How Quackery Harms Cancer Patients: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/harmquack.html 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 you to view unproven treatments with a high degree of suspicion, and thoroughly investigate the scientific basis of their claims. -Amnia Amnia Thu, 28 Sep 2006 00:00:00 GMT I appreciate very much your opinion. My sister who is a MD also has the same opinion that you do. I'll discuss further treatment with the doctor. FRanco Franco Sat, 30 Sep 2006 00:00:00 GMT
