Bruce--I am a huge fan of natural remedies, supplements, acupuncture, etc. But where cancer is concerned I knew I had to set that all aside and listen to the experts.
It was difficult to just do what they told me to(like stop taking vitamins) and stay off the computer looking for alternatives but this is serious business. I got through and am in recovery now. Go to Johns Hopkins if you can.

Bruce,
this is too serious to toy around with.
Just look at who is writing (look at the signature section). That should say it all.

Guys, the original poster has not been back to reply or comment since his original posting. I think we can stop with the chorus of unified opinion until he decides to return. He may just be tied up in getting into treatment, or he may have not heard what he wants to hear, that there is an easy way out. For now, let's let the thread idle until he returns to us.
