Good point, I agree that the book is not only about the arguements on treatment methods. It also highlights the issues like greedy pharmaceutical industries and so.cpru68 wrote: ↑16 Jan 2019, 09:57The reason for this is in the name of money, and what I thought was so interesting is that where the money goes, the companies follow. So, if those of us who would like to see natural alternative medicine be the norm, then our money must be spent on those products and those companies supported. I don't know how else we are going to win that 'war'. What I don't understand is why we can't see a nice blend of traditional medicine with what the author's father had discovered. It was shown that even with someone undergoing chemo, if he or she took his extracts, the recovery was better and less damage to the body was done. I think we are up against a deeply rooted system that wants to keep the money rolling in at the expense of the sick. And, the only way around this would be to change the flow of money. I have an insurance plan that absolutely will not cover any natural medicine. It will be all out of pocket, and my premium payment each month is over $400. So, the average person is going to just not seek out alternatives due to added expense. It all comes down to money.I think this book not only highlights the wonderful work of her father, but the author has exposed the dirty underground of the political system, big pharma, and how the consumers suffer as natural remedies to cancer are stifled.
Are we meeting a turning point? On which decision have you come up after reading the book?

Thanks a lot for sharing your opinion. I think everyone's opinion matters. I can't say anything about until I don't hear from someone who experienced these. I think it would also be a good idea if the author shares user's views upon extracts from the Pao Pereira tree and the Rauwolfia vomitoria plant. Madam Sylvie is rather confident and I think half the confidence of patient builds up with this assurance.nomnombooks wrote: ↑16 Jan 2019, 16:55 In my opinion, cancer is curable but not with the natural methods the author describes. I do not think alternative medicine is already as far evolved that it can take the place of classic school medicine in severe cases like cancer.

I strongly agree with you. Cancer is a difficult disease especially if you know what it really is. Cells that cannot stop dividing and can easily travel to different parts of the body? Sounds really complicated to me. Scientists and doctors have been trying to eradicate this disease, but it simply too hard despite the contrary that it can be healed by tea bags. People should also take note that every cancer is different and every person's body and health is different. Thanks for voicing this out!Ms_Bookworm wrote: ↑27 Jan 2019, 10:58 I believe that finding a balance somewhere in the middle of the Integrative approach is our best bet. I don't buy into the conspiracy theories that Big Pharma is sitting on a cure for cancer (or diabetes, heart disease or any other number of diseases and conditions.) While I don't necessarily believe that cancer is curable (so many diseases are not curable, why do we think cancer should be?) I do think it is highly treatable and we have decades of solid medical research that have provided huge leaps in treatment in recent years. For example, immunotherapy drugs are much safer for the body (and effective) than traditional chemotherapy treatments (lession learned: don't poison the entire body to fight the mutation.) At the same time, there are several examples of naturopathic practices proving to be very beneficial in ways of preparing our bodies for their fight against disease. So, are we at a turning point in cancer treatment? Yes, we are - we are finally realizing that medical treatments should be twofold, balanced and fine-tuned to each individual's body and needs. This is of course, simply my own opinion.

I am so sorry for those of you in this thread who have dealt with and/or are dealing with this terrible disease.
