Do a little group googling Mack to see the lady's level of experience.
And re-read what she actually said. It wasn't a comparison, but an
implication that both chemotherapy and vitamins may form part of a
patient's treatment. I also "get my vitamins and antioxidants from
nice fresh fruit and vegetables and cabernet sauvignon" - or Shiraz.

I don't inhabit the cancer groups these days, but I remember that
Steph's knowledge of chemo and cancer would certainly be as good as
your knowledge of insulin and diabetes.

And neither of us is implying agreement with awthrawthr's initial
posts.

Cheers Alan, T2, Australia.
