How can you say in one sentence that you chose western medicine to remove the tumor, but the cancer did not come back because of your unproven methods. That seems a bit like cherrypicking to me.

If your methods are so foolproof then why aren’t you practicing any of these things prophylactically? Presumably you could prevent cancer in the first place. Well that hasn’t been proven at all, aside from avoiding the usual things we know cause cancer.

If you think this works so well, why not develop a randomized trial to prove that it works, so other people will actually buy into it?

How is a science that started relatively recently (chemotherapy and radiation) barbaric when often times alternative medicine bases its practices in ancient medicines and often uses this as justification? Another nice example of cherry picking. Antibiotics were only discovered recently as well, same as antiretrovirals, are you telling me that even if they work we should somehow abandon them in the future for unproven quackery?

I happen to work in the Canadian healthcare system, often alongside european and UK physicians who aren’t bound to the often problematic healthcare sysem in the US. The monetary argument doesnt stand here. I don’t profit whether a person gets radiation or not, nor do the chemotherapy doctors. The patients who are lead astray by alternative medicines end up paying thousands of dollars out of pocket, often at the cost of the public system as we carry the burden of admitting patients and treating them when their symptoms have progressed. If you mean to tell me that the dozens of IV therapy clinics, hyperthermia and naturopath clinics (which sell their products directly to the patients) have no monetary benefit, then that is an outright lie. For the amount of schooling and hours worked, naturopaths make much more money than medical physicians in Canada.

Don’t you think it is convenient that you can take any alternative therapy you want, apply a couple of anecdotal cases, some quack science, and claim dominion over all human ailments?
