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.

You've put me in mind of a parallel example - beauty products -

"Makes you look ten years younger -
contains hypnoglycobenzide crystals for softer skin and wrinkle removal"
cue pseudo-scientific animation.

A far greater snake-oily field than alternative medicine, and a much bigger business to boot (or should that be "to Boots"?).

But, as said somewhere else, not in with the medicines. By all means, let people waste their cash on this rubbish if they choose, but don't claim it has any medicinal qualities
