" If a drug has been shown to Labor is not Medicine Otherwise, only medicine. Unfortunately, when the cancer is nothing more than unscrupulous charlatans waiting the vulnerable and desperate for money to change ineffective and sometimes dangerous "treatments." There are, of course, good intentions and nice people who submit information on "alternative treatments" have heard, usually unsubstantiated anecdote. These people, while polite, was always well informed and have no experience cancer. Conventional treatments are far from perfect, but we know – because they have been rigorously tested and proven in double blind trials clinics – to save many lives and extend over many people. If your friend experiences with other treatments that will invest money, hope and – most dangerous of all – time scams ineffective, then that cancer is treated. People probably recommend diets, never thought of my organic vegetarian diet rich in fruits, vegetables and juices, and healthy lifestyle to protect me against cancer. No, I was not cured.
