It is so hard when people who care about you also push for treatments like Naturopathy WHICH DO NOT CURE ORAL CANCER. You have to be strong and just resist this nonsense and superstition.
For some reason, many work colleagues and health food friends all swear by one of the most bogus treatments around: essiac tea, others advocated naturopathy, homeopathy, & spiritual healing. I did not want to be angry at them for trying to be helpful but they would not relent on how these treatments saved somebody's somebody etc so I just decided to fight bullshit with bullshit. I tell them my father had prostate cancer (which he did) and that he used essiac tea or whatever (which he did not) and it Killed him so it must be genetic. That is so unscientific that it rings true to these people.
In your case, suddenly remember an old friend from your single days and substitute her father and how you can't risk that happening to your husband. Or tell the truth, you went to this site and discovered that whatever the efficacy of naturopathy, it does not have supporters from actual true survivors of oral cancer. We sometimes do get wishful and wistful posters who hope against all hope that their particular bogus cure or TX is real, but they die before long so that should be your reply.
Finally, I found this tidbit on one of the wackiest cancer cure sites espousing goofy cures and even they do not like naturopathy
[quote]One last subject before moving on. There are no college or medical school courses on this planet on curing cancer with natural medicine. Naturopaths have some courses, but I am not terribly impressed by most naturopaths.[/quote]
