So...say you have incurable cancer. No conventional medical treatment is working. Would you not try alternatives, just in case? Despite my scepticism, I suspect I would be tempted...after all, what have you got to lose except some cash? And as they say, you can't take it with you...

Mind you, I can't help but agree that in all likelyhood you would be lining the pockets of quacks and charlatans.

Then again, you may be one of the lucky ones who find a successful treatment outside the mainstream, like the friend I mentioned in my first post.

And that sense of desperation is exactly what these snake oil peddlers rely on. Giving the sick water.

My dad was ill with cancer (the type you dont get better from) some well meaning idiot said take vitamin c, cress and bannanas!!!

There is evidence that suggests that large doses of vitamin D can prevent or even roll back tumors.

I think western medicine can be a bit snake-oily itself, to be frank... it's compromised by big money. Consumers are led to believe that they have to fork out huge sums to see specialists and purchase pharmaceuticals by the industry, when in many cases (I'm not talking about critical cases, obviously) the patient can heal themselves with some common sense steps... better nutrition, exercise, a better mental attitude, etc.
