Thanks for more details about the book.So it is political, too.

med publications and references to clinics that can help people.

What I see at the moment is that he has used his name (and

newsletter) to promote *one* therapy. Even if it worked,(does it?) it

would be ok for me if he earned some money with it. It depends on the

extent, as you say.

My husband, my mother and my mother-in-law are all going to Germany

in two weeks to receive the CLT treatment. Although there are other

treatments that we have our eye on, my husband (a Yale trained medical

doctor), feels this may be our best shot. She has stage 4 non-small cell

lung cancer. I personally think this whole debate on whether it is right

that Ralph Moss makes money on a treatment is useless and ridiculous. The

whole argument depends on whether the treatment even works as well as it has

promised to. Both my husband and I agree that if it cures my mother-in-law

then the price and the sacrifices we have had to make are trivial. This

group's goal should be to identify and share the best forms of treatment for

the various forms of cancer out there. Politics is one of the reasons why

conventional medicine has failed patients like the one on this list, and now

some of you are falling into that. I will keep the group informed on exactly

what is happening with my mother-in-law. Until then, let's keep this an open

and responsible forum and keep each other in our prayers. The only

information I like to receive is how others have had success or failure with

their different treatments. Other than that sort of medical information, the

rest is useless to me.
