Nobody is interested in the quack stuff, but people are taken in everyday by it. Makes me ill thinking of how low a person would stoop to make a buck, scamming cancer patients!
The standard of who an oral cancer patient should be has changed dramatically over the few years Ive been on OCF. I didnt fit the bill either but I went thru it 3 times.
