Bottom line if someone comes here with a thought or idea let the
majority decide if it is something that they are willing to try or not
and keep your thoughts to yourself unless you have physically tried
them. History is riddled with dumb sounding ideas that went on to become
very useful ideas because intelligent people encourage free thinking and
new ideas. Ignorant people oppose anything that isn't tried and true
tested, even if it has been proven to be extremely costly and shown
only limited success. In otherwords if you aint got something good to
say, don't speak because people who are very ill with this disease do
not need negativity.
Its very simple. If you have an idea about an alternative method of
treating cancer put it in an alt.cancer newsgroup.
If and when your idea works verifiably, put it in this NG.

I hear you well. Steph can be very blunt, and it is true that we cannot
He's perceptibly more upbeat after a holiday though.. :-/
But why not? Why should the patient and the doc* not take this unique
chance that usenet offers to lay the cards on the table as they really
are? Straight talk, without frills, especially for snake oil salesmen.
Few docs can afford to do that in a practice nowdays for fear of scaring
the patients away. Here things are cosy and anonymous, so give it all
you've got. No tissues to dry up the tears though, so if its sympathy
one's looking for then go to a support group or to a doctors practice.


always predict how cancer will behave.
The problem is that trying to avoid ALL negativity also inhibits the
forthright discussion needed to get at the truth of things. The truth is
pretty important where claims of cancer cure are concerned.
I am sure you find it difficult to appreciate it right now, but it is in
the best interests of ALL cancer sufferers that we should be tough on those
who irresponsibly promote unsubstantiated and unlikely methods like pH
balancing, if only to try and force them into producing some decent
evidence for their claims. I say this in full knowledge of how highly,
and regularly, pH balancing is currently spoken of in alternative circles.
Then they are discussions that fail to acknowledge basic principles of
(patho)-physiology. Sure some tumors can become hypoxic and thus
acidic, but this is because of rapid cell division and not the other way
round, ie the tumor didnt form because of the acidic environment.
Thats something else I've noticed: a lot of the alt. claims contain SOME
truth, often gleaned out of context from bona fide sources. This makes
it twice as difficult for the untrained person to decide whether he s
being taken for a ride or not. A tip as you mentioned is to see if
products are being pushed.

people w. questions are advised.
