This quote from Science Based Medicine web site says it all:
[quote]Let�s say you have cancer. And let�s say you�re really, really sick of having cancer. And let�s say that you�re also pretty tired of scans, chemo, radiation, hair loss, nausea. And let�s say you�re not really sick and tired of living, but actually pretty happy to be alive.

Finally, let�s say someone says that they can get rid of your cancer, without all of those pesky side-effects. It�s a win-win, no?

No.[/quote]
For more such insights and the latest greatest cancer scams and books debunked: here is a great web site I was turned onto recently: Science & Medicine

Love the Science and Medicine website. Had a big read of it today.

Reminds me of my last cancer which had a poor prognosis at first. I felt helpless so went to what I thought was a naturopath for some healthy eating options. He was recommended by a hospice nurse of all people. He turned out to be a cranky ex-GP who blamed my cancer on my root fillings and told me not to come back if I was considering chemo. He prescribed some homeopathy and was the rudest medical practitioner I ever met. The next month I started chemo and that particular cancer has not come back in 12 years.

Anecdotal I know but it confirmed my faith in science rather than magic. For cancer!
