re: "I suggest you do your own homework for a change."

What you are saying is farcical in relation to my case and countless other cases. You have no idea what you are talking about when you generalize your comments to "cancer" overall. No idea at all.

You speak like the kind of zealot that has killed people I know, good people who took idiotic advice to scorn "modern medicine" and the "cancer industry" etc. The myriad doctors I dealt with know far more on the subject than you or I will ever know.

I suggest you learn to recognize your own vast ignorance and not pronounce on "cancer" with such mis-placed certitude.

and no, I don't begin to think that people shouldn't take more steps for healthier lifestyles, or that people diagnosed with any form of "cancer" automatically need chemo or radiation or surgery. Unlike you I know the subject is vast and varied, that there are myriad causes and effects involved, and that every patient and case must be looked at closely as a unique instance. There are many reasons someone might not want or need chemo or surgery or radiation or bone marrow transplants etc. All I'm saying is that there are many cases NOT covered by your blanket pronouncements.... and that following your "advice" would get many people killed. Yes, killed by your bad advice.

I recognize the complexities and difficulties of these matters. You do not, and should not pronounce upon what you do not understand.

I was speaking of two distinct types of “cancer” and two distinct things that have a direct effect on them. The generalization is on your part. Note also that one of the medical reports had a pharmaceutical base and one was a nutritional base.

So, indeed I do mean with all intent, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. At no point did I say IGNORE YOUR DOCTOR! I see I am triggering a hot button, and as this conversation grows I can see things like “cancer industry” and “scorn modern medicine” coming out.

Interesting. But not my problem, your offense with others in your past. Just don't paint me with your wide brush.

Both medical studies I was talking about came from “modern medicine”, both were published. It is our great advances in medicine that brought this understanding about. While I understand there is a political undercurrent between Naturopatic and Adamistic branch's of medicine, I have no dog in the race. I go to the doctors I need when I need them.

Indeed I am of the “better to be healthy than doctored” set. But I suspect the wisdom of that is obvious.

My point, with all your personal bent taken out is this; There is far more technology out there than any one branch of medicine can hold. If you take a simply mechanistic viewpoint like this DNA method, you could think that this is the only way. I was pointing out two different ways to accomplish the same thing to the same degree. Once in Adamistic medicine, the other in Naturopathic. I would have included a Holistic method, but I have yet to hear of a successful treatment with this level of success by Holistic methods.

That is why I did not bring up that branch. Funny, that is the branch you tried to put me on so you could chop it off.

Now this technology you support by this one blog post, which uses DNA tinkering has had that level of success, but I personally distrust the level of science we have when it comes to recombinant DNA injections in my own person. I suspect this may in the long run have subtle and very fatal side effects.

So, I post to balance the issue. This article leaned a bit to heavy for me in the “WE CURED CANCER” cheerleading section. Cancer is a very wide based label to lump everything under. It is a word we use when we DO NOT UNDERSTAND what the problem is. Its like AIDS. I dunno = Aids in doctor speak.

So, perhaps you can see, I actually feel a lot like you about cancer, not in a narrow vitamin cure all sense you suspected on my part, but in a “do your homework” the issue is very broad sense.

And if people will think about what I say, and not just fill in the blanks with what they think, perhaps I might just save some lives. But if they insist on having a closed mind, then the cure they want is the cure they get. I can't help people think, I can only point out doors where some think there are no other choices. My Mom was "cured" of cancer, with chemo and radiation. Wasn't much left of her after that. But, hey, she did not die of cancer. Not directly anyway. Good luck with your issue, what ever it was. A little nutritional boost with some organic foods, and less processed foods would not hurt in making sure the last surgery you had is indeed your last. What the heck, it wouldn't hurt and would taste better!
