I don't seek out,read, believe or promote alternative therapy approaches. The Issel page came up while I was searching another issue. What caught my eye was "investigated by Anderson MD." I WAS TOO QUICK to assume it was the Anderson Cancer Center, Tx.
Can we please drop the issue now???
Love

Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 507 | I think it is really good every few months to have a discussion about these unsubstantiated treatment protocols and bogus cancer centers. I know I am plagued with worry about recurrence and vunurable. For me, being in the critical first year, seeing several doctors a month and worrying about my next PET/CT scan, knowing about these scams is an asset. Thanks Sandy
