HELP Father wants to try Alternative Med
| Thu, 06-22-2006 - 4:16pm |
My Uncle has been visting us from europe (my family is european but my parents raised us in the US and have never gone back). My Uncle is a firm believer in natural remedies..he is a little bit of a hippie..not that anything is wrong with that BUT!! I am sorry to offend anyone..but I really DO NOT believe that this alternative diet and medicine can KILL TUMORS!! Cancer is a hard core disease and you need hard core drugs to kill it. My Uncle is staying with my parents and bought them all these books on alternative medicine and they are reading these success stories of people getting completely cured going the alternative route I JUST DO NOT THINK IT IS REALISTIC!! I think these are one in a million cases and Im fine with my father eating differently and going on a special diet IN ADDITION to traditional medicine...but not alternative medicine alone NO WAY!! He says hes been reading that you should not poison your body w/ chemo otherwise the alternitive medicine wont work...PLEASE eating fruits and vegetables is not going to work either ..again just my opionion sorry to offend anyone that has gone strictly this route. I just need some feedback on this asap...I dont want him to shy away from his appnt. at sloan kettering on monday that took FOREVER for him to get...A MONTH to be exact!!!
HELP!!!
HELP!!!

Hi Sarah,
My daughter is a certified herbalist and even though she believes various herbs and natural products can help you body, they are not a sole replacement for conventional treatment.
