Holistic is the best way to PREVENT cancer, but Treatment needs an all hands on deck approach.

"I believe 60 Minutes was irresponsible by not having an oncologist who would give an alternative point of view.

What kind of an alternative point of view could possibly criticize whatever treatments Elle went thru that has allowed her to continue living 7 years more, and who knows how many more?

Sheesh ...

If you get cancer, and have “conventional” treatments ... You. Will. Die.

If you get cancer, and have “alternative” treatments ... You. Will. Die.

If you get cancer, and have no treatments at all ... You. Will. Die.

It’s all a matter of how much longer you’ll live, and how pleasant or unpleasant the rest of your life will be.

Yeah, because NOBODY has ever died from cancer while undergoing conventional treatment.

Do I really need to post the /s thingy?

So could supporting "established" medicine.

Regardless of what anyone says, do your own research and do what's right for you.

Not necessarily. If treatment consists of putting a poison into your bloodstream & radiating your skin resulting in extreme discomfort, then some ppl might decline that form of treatment. Elle did say she’s followed holistic & alternate medicine practices most of her life, so it makes sense she’d turn to that first. It’s not for everybody but then again traditional oncology practices aren’t either.

Exactly. It’s just a matter of time before cancer pops up again, and that’s if you even make it all the way through treatment. It’s God’s decision in the end.

intraductal carcinoma

That's another name for DCIS. It means the cancer was caught before it became invasive. It's considered Stage 0.

My brother is a PhD in this stuff. It's his educated opinion that when it does come back it's a more vicious animal than the initial cancer was.

I know plenty of people who used natural methods to get rid of tumors in different cancers.

I know few who did chemo/radiation that were free of cancer for long.

The doctors are happy to buy the chemo at wholesale and resell to their patients at full retail.

Everyone will die.
But, if you don’t get treatment for cancer (including using alternative methods) - you’ll die from that cancer.

And if you get “conventional” treatment for cancer ... you’ll still die.

Some people die of the cancer anyway. I’ve seen it happen.

Some people die of the treatment. I’ve seen it happen.

Some people go into “remission” and die many years later of something else. I’ve seen it happen.

It’s your life: pick your poison. In the case of conventional cancer treatment, that word is to be taken literally.

Precisely.

TPTB like to give the impression that if you do as they say, you’ll live forever.

People don’t stop to think it through.

“My brother is a PhD in this stuff.”

There are a few doctoral programs in Cancer Biology and another in Molecular Oncology and Immunology — he must have attained his PhD from one of those.
