Katie....First, I apologize for hijacking your thread!!!!! Im very sorry but I am required to moderate the forum and edit things as necessary.
Only thru a biopsy can a cancer determination be made. That is the only way for sure. Several things can look like oral cancer when they are not. If your mother never had a biopsy then it cant be proven that she had SCC or some other ailment. The usual ways someone gets oral cancer is
HPV+, smoking/drinking or some have no known cause. Studies have not yet proven any link to hereditary as far as I know.
This site is dedicated to only providing factual medical advice. Surgery and radiation with or without chemo are what works. Any other approaches to curing oral cancer are NOT scientifically proven to be effective.
Max, I have removed your video as it is promoting unsubstantiated claims to curing oral cancer. The other thread with the video has also been deleted.
In the future please refrain from posting things like this on the forum. If you would like one of the admin's opinions on something, please send them a PM and not post it on the forum. This is one of the major rules of the forum, not to post any unproven treatments. The internet is full of false claims and cures in which many people trick and deceive others into buying their products. Anyone could stumble across that video and not know the full story thinking OCF supports this since its posted on the forum. This could result in that person not obtaining the correct medical treatment. If someone delays by trying undocumented cures then it could easily become too late for conventional medical procedures to work. Just because something is on the internet doesnt make it true. Our website is bound by the Health on the Net Code which certifies OCF provides correct medical information. This is not up for discussion.
