First, I am sorry you’ve had to experience treatments. I wouldn’t wish the side effects on anyone. I’m glad you got curly hair out of the deal, though!Helen_Combe wrote: ↑01 Jan 2019, 17:31Well, my dad was a Royal Marine, but that doesn’t make me a military expert. I take a rather dim view on this kind of book. Coming from a country which has a national health service which would welcome less expensive cancer care, I’m not so open to the conspiracy theory angles.edith38 wrote: ↑01 Jan 2019, 10:22 The author has a degree in law not in any form of medicine, research or health. However, she bases her claims on her father's work who was a molecular biologist and she is speaking in the name of a company that aim is to "brings together science and nature to create high quality, innovative health and beauty products". Do you feel that the book is based on a sufficient level of research to back its claims?
The survival rates for breast cancer have improved considerably over the last few years, entirely down to mainstream research. I have had cancer treatment myself and had no end of people prescribing mushrooms, honey and positive thinking to me. I would just roll my eyes and go for my next chemo session.
And my hair came back curly.
RESULT!
Secondly, you said exactly what I was thinking! My mom is a professional baker, and my dad was a chemist. I did not inherit skills in either of those fields! Despite working alongside my mother in the kitchen and watching my dad speak about molecular structures for years, I still couldn’t bake a cake without a recipe or tell you what elements compose complex forms. I know enough to be dangerous but certainly not enough to be an expert!
