cancer

Wow, seems I stopped everyone in their tracks on my last posting. What a shame, it was just getting interesting. Thought I'd let all my anti-therapies friends know that my latest MRI results show a further reduction. My neurosurgeon cannot believe it. On the down side however, it will be my ultimate demise. This may be in 5 or 25 years time. It will be here forever though, and so I continue the fight.

Definitely. Just because I think the way you (think you) are fighting the cancer is crazy doesnt mean I want it to kill you!

This lot slag you off if you don't think like they do. I actually wonder if any of you noted that B17 wasn't the ONLY thing I am doing? It is just a small part of my regimen. If you weren't sitting down to write these threads, your brains might work better if you weren't squashing them. Keep going guys, I'm happy as Larry listening to y'all!!!

An update for my friends here in Cellar land. My oncologist has just written me off her list - no need to see her again!
Has anyone here heard of Holosync? What are your views?

From a medical standpoint? It's snake oil, just like acupuncture (yes acupuncture is junk medicine, it's called the placebo effect). Is it worth trying? That depends on the cost, don't sink mucho cash into it but have some fun if you'd like.

I have accupuncture for migraines. Every once in a while I go for a 'booster' round of treatments. I started this process when I was about 17 and suffering from severe migrains every other week.

I don't care if it's a placebo or not. It works, and that's all that matters to me.

If it works, it works. If the reason it works, is that you've convinced your body to do the healing through trickery, that doesn't negate the fact that it worked. The human body is a wonderful thing and contains within it the ultimate medical device; the human mind.

I think it's time the whole world started to look beyond the medical standpoint. Medicines - chemically based, synthetic chemicals at that (ie chemotherapy) are not solving the cause of many illnesses. I think that is more of a placebo effect. Give someone pills to make the symptom go away, but underneath the sickness remains.There are now SO MANY people with success stories (mine included) following 'alternative' treatment, surely we should all look towards that way?

Good for you.
My mother in law has acupuncture. She is old and loves the doctors. If they write her a script for more pills, she's in heaven! She tried acupuncture as our suggestion and is finding her pain is easing. And she has no understanding of placebo or mind power. Aliantha - we are on our uphill battle again I fear!

Placebos work best on people who don't understand placebos, or that they are using a placebo.
