Sure, I agree. It would be great to be able to look back in a more enlightened time when we have unlocked the knowledge of how to make the body heal itself, and look at the concept of pumping poison into the body to kill the invader as a barbaric approach, like cutting off a leg damaged by gunfire just to make sure it doesn’t get infected.

But this is what we have now.

Yaelle, people are free to refuse treatment. If they think that is better for them, I wish them the best. I don’t doubt that some number, however small who take that path will survive, treatment by apricot pits, vitamins, faith healing, whatever they decide.

I think it is a foolhardy approach. But it is their choice. We all have responsibility for our own health.

We sure do. I advocate prevention in the form of good health and nutrition habits --the younger you start the better. Not everyone agrees. Some would prefer eating sugary and/or greasy stuff, smoking and drinking too much to staying healthy. And they hate you if you try to explain the risks. Oh well.

I don't know what I would do if I turned up with some form of cancer. Probably go whole-hog into conventional medical treatment.
