To answer the OP's question:

As the kids say:

I . . . . don't . . . .THINK . . . . so!

A true sign of quackery is to claim some simple, miracle cure is being ignored by the medical establishment. That's not to say I think the establishment is ALWAYS right! There is plenty of evidence to the contrary.

This Dr. may be a certifiable, quack, liar, con-artist (take your pick). I know nothing about him. BUT the larger issue is that I, like many others, believe that there's always more to the story when it comes to topics like this. I'm not quick to believe claims of 'cures' and 'wonder drugs', but I certainly don't think those who refute it should have the final say on the matter. I mean how silly of me to think drug companies, or the government for that matter would EVER try to hide anything from us:

Did I say that? I think I said just the contrary!

People like their beliefs, they cling to them, life is unstable if their pillars are not in place, so its difficult for people to accept anything when they have a mountain of beliefs that directly contradicts just about anything. aannndd when you have nearly every source around you creating these contradictions, its easy to see why there are such issues. Anyways, why do we have "drugs"? because we cannot patent natural occurring substances, so we make synthetic versions. Then, the "original" synthetic drugs just block symptoms, they don't actually help anything. IBS drugs are a perfect example, have acid reflux, ok, stop the stomach from producing so much acid... aannd as for digestion??? moving on, nearly anything we need is already produced naturally, but its not profitable, cures are not helpful to capitalist ideals. The capitalists(corporatist/fascists) can't make large profits if their market disappears, so, like all other markets, they are pushed to stay alive, end of story. I mean, how hard is it to figure out, those in the market want to keep is profitable, so you have to keep the things creating it around. Its like an automaker buys out all the local rail and mass transit systems and then gets rid of them so people have to buy cars, same idea, this is how corporatism, or the neo-capitalism works(potentially capitalism, or at least ideals). Don't get me wrong, i'm just pointing out facts, any potential system could be just as bad, don't come at me with an "oohh you socialist, or, you, you are a communist" not at least without understanding what words you are really using. Ok, the point, Cheap, Safe Drug Kills Most Cancers | Wanderings this exists, probably a lot of other ideas like it out there, like the people who take high amount of vitamin C, or homeopathy, lots of things. Problem is these solutions don't make money, so why would any energy at all be put behind them? in fact, if you were in a position and this information of a great "cure" was being put out, wouldn't you try to stop it at all costs, make it seem like some insane ramblings, discredit it at every corner? tthhinnk people, billions of dollars net income, every opportunity to crush opposition will be taken, your company will fail if you don't.. Don't live in denial, this is the America, the world we live in, its not about what you believe, its how it is, own up to it.

Honestly, this isn't even what i really feel is going on, but posting all that wouldn't do any good, this is just to make people think, at least, those that still do. Stop relying on beliefs that aren't even yours, because you hear something and you take in these words for you, does not make them yours, this is just memorization and regurgitation, simple conditioning, not learning. Something learned is an original thought, generally being specific to you and at that point you have to figure out metaphor to convey said information.

The truth is that the medical establishment has ALWAYS kept down actual 'alternative' methods of defeating illness and disease, because there is absolutely no money in it for them to find an actual cure or treatment that would eliminate something like cancer or aids so quickly. You guys heard about the man in New Zealand who was miraculously healed from his death bed by high intravenous doses of vit C? ... all the while docs there fought tooth and nail to NOT allow the family who was aware of it's benefits to go through with the method???
Living Proof? - Story - Home - 3 News

The guy had swine flu and developing cancer and they were ready to pull the plug on him, and in days his condition was reversed when administered the vit C.

Plain and simple, follow the money. What keeps people in power and keeps the money train running in. Curing somebody of cancer with the high doses of vit C makes no money compared to weeks of expensive chemotherapy. Things like this have always and will be continued to be kept down as long as the med community can hold it down, and as long as people blindly let others do their thinking for them, and nod approvingly to everything their doctors say.

Don't be so naive guys.
