Yeah, my Friend's DEAD Wife tried all that VooDoo stuff.

She unfortunately was a true believer in Holistic (VooDoo) Medicine, just like Steve McQueen. She was a grown Woman and she made a conscious choice, the wrong choice as far as I'm concerned. What a waste of a wonderful Life, very sad.

Her early stage Breast Cancer turned into Terminal Bone Cancer. She wasn't even 60 Years Old and the last two Months of her Life were a living Hell.

She made the choice and her Husband, Grown Children and Friends are left behind to deal with it. My Wife is still devastated knowing the odds are she would still be with us if she tried traditional Treatment first rather than putting her faith in Charlatans posing as Medical Professionals.

I am saying this having been diagnosed with Leukemia nearly ten years ago. I am still alive thanks to my Oncologist, Blood Transfusions and Big Pharma, it's as simple as that.

One person's Holistic Medicine is another person's Suicide by Ignorance IMHO.

That being said, I am a believer in Personal Responsibility and Free Will.

What I find interesting is the same people giving “alternate (so called) Medicine” a thumbs up are the same people who believe that people who are suffering with no hope of recovery should not be able to end their own Lives but are relegated to endure a lingering painful Death.

I admittedly have a slanted viewpoint based on my personal Heath issues, but my experience leads me to my conclusion. I'm sure many disagree, so be it.

Very few patients try alternative medicine first. You seem to be mistaken about McQueen. He tried your way before he passed on. Steve McQueen cancer death-His doctors gave him a gloomy prognosis, but they treated him with radiotherapy and chemotherapy to try to shrink the cancer">

This makes me think you are not being entirely being honest.

I know someone who has fallen for the holistic Bulls... So far she isn’t suffering from any serious illness but I fear the day that she does.

The treatments she has described to me are laughable.
