I like how they didn't tell us what the alternative medicine was.

Stupid.

My husband's father had a cure for cancer 50 years ago. He was a Dr. from Poland. He had cured many a cancer patient there. When he came to America, that wouldn't let him use it. martinmary555

Chemo is some nasty stuff, and I dont blame people with almost no chance of recovery for quitting it and trying to live their last days in some degree of health. Just don't start believing that some goddamn herbs are going to accomplish what chemo could not.

This just goes to show that eating healthy isn't a great way to prevent cancer, it's a lot of overrated nonsense!

Cancer will kill most people, the chemo and radiation does not work!!! My Husband was killed by radiation. Sometimes the operations will, but not all the time. martinmary555 catch my video

i personally have known some of my mother's friends who had gone through the chemo and radiation to no success. trad doctors giving them months to live. they went the alternative route, eating whole and raw foods and whatnot, only to go on living for 6 more years. my conclusion: every body is different. meds will work for some and not for others, and the same goes for herbs. i for one do not believe that alt meds are ineffective b/c unproven by the fda.
