Cancer and everything that goes with it is beyond Awful
Have had 4 friends with various forms of cancer, all originally decided to go the "less invasive" way...chanting, herbs, mind games, blah, blah, blah.....after 2-3 recurrences, then it was "use the big guns" but by then too late.......
If they find any cancer on me, I want a 3' excavation in all directions, chemo, and radiation starting Yesterday, thankyuvurrymuch
THAT NATURAL SELECTION is natures culling process!
Most current Medical practices are derived in some fashion from "alternative or natural basis"
Humans have found certain chemicals added together work most effectively. However the basis for the chemicals is based in natural plant and mineral bases.
If you chose to do only one treatment then natural selection takes its course. That is not to discount lifestyle and genetics as well.
Our world is not black and white.
I believe alternative medicine may offer some effective cures, though maybe not with every illness or with every patient. There are many specialties within alternative medicine. If one changes the food the body consumes one can cure cancer, sometimes.
