Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Annie- I definately agree with you on that comment. Unfortunately doctors know very little about nutrition. I believe this is a main reason our country is as it is. Could you please send me more information on the diet? I'm starting a nonprofit org for cancer patients and would love to have this info (a bit about her story would be great) to pass on. My email addy is De@....

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Oh I know all that, what I meant is that rich people for example who have all of the time and money to get the best of everything still die of cancer. I just don't believe that all you have to do is become a vegetarian and you will be cured, as I know of several vegetarians who have died of cancer C anniejames460 <anniejames1@...> wrote: >>christina wrote: >>it sounds great but if it was simple and easy to be cured of >>cancer,then why are people still dying by the hundreds of thousands? Hi , The main reason is that doctors are not are not recommending diet and nutrition as a way of managing cancer. They are tied to the drug companies and they promote drugs as a way to manage diseases. All of their training and their journals are supported by drug corporations. There is no profit in promoting the use of foods to heal diseases. And, the truth is that doctors and drug companies are in business to make a profit. Allopathic medicine is about dealing with disease through the use of drugs and surgery. Some doctors who are now moving to integrative or alternative medicine are promoting natural ways of healing, but they are going against the grain of the drug industry which has a lot of influence in federal and state governments because of large contributions to the campaigns of senators, congressmen and the president. Consequently, many doctors who try to help people through diet and natural means are accused of some type of federal violation and taken to court, often their license to practice medicine is revoked. That's what happened to Dr. Max Gerson when he showed that he could cure some cancers through diet. It has happened to many other doctors and is happening today. In the meantime, thousands are dying as a result of relying on chemo and radiation. Some people go through it and live for 6 or 7 years when the cancer returns, more vicious than before. Those who live longer usually have changed their diet and exercise method, as we know is true for heart disease also. The cancer industry is huge, bringing in billions of dollars to corporations and doctors. It's difficult to even get any publicity in a journal for a study that shows that people who follow a more vegetarian, natural diet can avoid cancer and heart disease as well as other diseases. But if you look for it, the information is out there. It gets mentioned on the news or in a magazine. But most people follow what their doctor tells them to do. It takes courage and discipline to completely change your diet and lifestyle. It isn't easy. If it were, no one would be overweight in this country, but obesity is a major problem.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 A flip answer might be that they were going to their doctors for " cures " .. The reality is, however, that cancer is complicated, and there is no magic pill that always cures it. Budwig diet, vegetarian, Rife devices, Ozone, water therapy, oxygen therapy, nutrition, magnetic pulsers - all have something to offer, and many of these seem to help in some cases - but, again, there IS NO MAGIC PILL. Many of us know people going the alternative route for cancer treatment, and many of these are getting better. What did it? Nobody knows; maybe the combination of things, maybe that and a combination of the belief that we'd get better. What do the MDs do? Actually, pretty much the same things less the nutrition.. they do the surgery, the radiation, the chemo, and sometimes - maybe even usually - we get better. Sometimes the cancer returns, and they try a different chemo treatment.. Almost the same scene as above. No Magic Pill. (Personal opinion.)

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I know - how do we explain children getting some cancers? But overall, most cancers respond to cleanse and nourish approach. There of course is the emotional component that affects all bodies. And beyond that the subtle energies of karmic influences. But many people are seeing our bodies mechanistically, as some chemical machines where you can tweak them with a pimch of this, and a dollop of that ...

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 I buy the argument that our modern diet lacks essential nutrients for a cure - and to some extent I buy the argument that highly processed foods (and milk derivatives) can suppress and impair recovery. But what is the logic of the rest? Surely a high veg diet with lots of water means that the system is flushed through I am very interested - as I am terminal melanoma - and on interleukin2 which has a very low chance of working Also - what do you see as the major 'no-nos'? Love and Healing Ian theobaby1 wrote: My gerson therapy diet includes 2 YEARS of rigorous effort, requiring my effort and full-time caregiver - and we can barely manage it! It is also very expensive, as we purchase over 17 pounds of organic produce PER DAY!............... " Just eating vegetarian " will not cure cancer. Eliminating poisons from your system and flooding your system with nutrients bears little resemblance to " just eating vegetarian " . Trust me on this. Time to do a coffee enema (really) - bye!
