'Natural healing' method should be used more

We have a dear friend who collapsed several months ago, was rushed to the hospital, diagnosed with a "fatal" cancerous tumor in the lung and told to go home and die.

She stubbornly refused and is being treated by one of several "natural healing" clinics in the United States. They oxygenate her blood. Cancer hates oxygen. They put her on a strict no-sugar diet. Cancer feeds on sugar. The tumor is gone! Another friend, unfortunately, is dying of cancer and refuses to seek alternative help. This is a crime!

Where are the courageous journalists and political candidates to expose this national disgrace?

On that basis, I will give you this opportunity to save whatever tiny amount of credibility you might still have by retracting your fraudulent claims. "

You pretty much cannot deny this diagnosis. In the case of the "friend," whose outcome is unknown, she was an esthetician trained to identify and classify skin cancers. This is a licensing requirement for her profession, because they work on skin. Dr. Allison conversed with her over the telephone and agreed that it was, and they agreed upon the classification. "

The truth is that she has saved thousands of lives from cancer, and through her family, I am told that she was experimenting with AIDS patients.

" When a naturopathic doctor gives a probability of survivability, it is usually around 95% if the doctor is confident. Pancreatic cancer survival with traditional doctors is around 0-5%, because the pancreas is inoperable. However, laetrile attacks the cancer through the blood, and survivability can be 95%, even after a traditional doctor has lost hope and advised to make end-of-life plans. Naturopathic doctor estimates are NOT based upon statitistics, but instead, doctor's confidence. "

" When the FDA or ACS say that they are making progress with cancer, what they mean is that the XXX % chance of survival, defined by 5-year survivability (followed by death) is increasing. Earlier diagnosis causes the 5-year survivability rate to increase, because more people are included in the survivability, although they die typically at the same time as before. "

Daniel wrote on Nov 19, 2007 6:42 PM:

" When a traditional cancer doctor tells a patient that they have XXX % chance of survival, this probability of survival speaks nothing of the patient's state of health during the ensuing 5-year period. It could also mean that if they are counted by the FDA as a survivor, they could die anyway, after the 5th year. "

Daniel wrote on Nov 19, 2007 6:40 PM:

" FDA statistics for 5-year survivability are deceptive. 5-year survivability is measured from the initial day of diagnosis. If a person lives 5-years after the diagnosis, and dies +1 day later, they are counted as a survivor. During the 5 years, if the person suffers loss of organ or limb, becomes wheelchair ridden, easily becomes sick due to surgical removal of lymph system, that person is counted as a survivor. "

" Naturally a certain percentage of laetrile victims will survive. The question is whether that percentage is higher than those with the same diagnosis who were not exposed to laetrile. I have seen some evidence that, due to the effect of cyanide ingestion on the rest of the body, the percentage of surviving laetrile victims is actually lower (thus the use of the word "victim"). "

At the time that I investigated the college, I already had had my experience with Dr. Allison, so I knew about laetrile. I discovered that the college is required not allowed to teach laetrile as a condition for its accreditation. Hence, through credentialling, the FDA still administrates control to prevent education on laetrile. I've gotta think there are thousands if not millions of lives lost. "
