Okay, this guy might be a phony, but have you ever noticed that people who have cancer typically get most of the really bad symptoms after they start chemotherapy?
Logically, they all died.
http://www.quackwatch.org/
is a great site to check phony health, medical and vitamin claims.
A sound and rational response to such claims.
Since being diagnosed with cancer, I've been approached by all kinds of kind-hearted and well-meaning people who have "alternative" treatments for my condition. God bless 'em all...they really do mean well.
After having endured standard medicine's treatments, I simply don't have the desire to add even more stuff to my daily regimen. I already have to take enough daily pills and daily injections to keep me busy.
I just don't want to go the Steve McQueen route and subject myself to still more ridiculous treatments that have no record of working. If God wants to take me home that badly, who am I to argue?
The book tells you nothing. It refers you to a web site that is, of course, subsciption oriented.
Trudeau is not a quack, he is a con man.
Youthful in early 1990's? 42 less 15 is 27 years old. If you don't know right from wrong by age 27, you never will.
Oh, this is a concern of the government? Shall we talk about the fraud called AIDS and its obvious cure?
How often have we seen the idea that capitalists are evil people who only steal from others promoted by the MSM?
Often enough to give the gullible a reason to believe this fraud.
I have no idea how many will die as a result of the nonsense promoted by this person.
That is because chemotherapy is the practice of methodically poisoning the body in order to kill the weakest cells. Since the cancer cells are typically the least hardy of all cells in the body, the goal is to sicken all, but kill the weakest.
The main difference is that chemotherapy has the decency to admit that it's poison. A lot of "all natural remedies" don't. (Remember, folks: just because something is natural doesn't mean it's good for you! Cyanide is all-natural too, y'know.)
Next question?
Doesn't "Dr. Phil" also have a shady past? There are a lot of con men making a lot of money off of a lot of desperate people.
AIDS has no cure. Nothing viral has a cure. Not even influenza.
Ah...you forget: the Leftist media thinks that people should still be living with their parents at that age! (And yeah, they think that's Bush's fault too.)
I was diagnoses with terminal lung cancer in august of 1997. I was given 4 months to live... About the same as they gave Peter Jennings.
I went to several medical institutions in Ohio. The Cleveland Clinic, James Cancer Center and one other oncologist. They all said the same thing. With treatment I had an 8 percent chance of living a year and a 33 percent chance of living 4 months.
I finally visited the cancer treatment center in my home town hospital. The oncologist told me of an experimental treatment for terminal patients. It had a 15 percent chance of success.
The experimental chemo would kill the cancer... The only problem was it had an 85 percent chance of killing me first. I had a 15 percent chance of surviving the side effects of the chemo. If I did survive the treatment, then my cancer would likely be killed.
I took the shot. I went through 4 months of chemo and 2 months of radiation. It nearly killed me... and it did kill the cancer.
I have now been cancer free since February of 1998. I will soon be free of cancer for seven and a half years.
At the 5 year survivial point the oncologist turned me back over to my family doctor. He said I was very lucky to be alive. Had I come in just 2 weeks sooner the experimental chemo would not have been available.. and I would have died in 4 months.
Does Chemo make you worse? It certalnly does. Nothing had been found that will kill cancer that won't severly damage other cells in your body. There are just two prospects for lung cancer.... do nothing and die, or take chemo and hope that the chemo kills the cancer before it kills you.
Not for the patient maybe, but any society that wants to cure its AIDS epidemic can do so. All it takes is the political will.
I remember seeing his infomercial a while ago and thinking 'wasn't he selling something else a few years ago'.
For a real answer, former magician James Randi has a very active foundation set up.
Randi was Uri Geller's worst nightmare, exposing him on Johnny Carson way back. (He turns many off for being an athiest, but that's not his main drive at all.)
