Holistic Options for Cancer

[AnonChick]

The OP never posted again in this thread, though he did post on CD twice since, with the last post being in March. One of those other posts declared that he has -terminal- cancer, and might not live out the next six months.

If he's in end-stage cancer, it's not likely anything short of a miracle will cure him, and most treatments (alternative or otherwise) would merely delay the end, which -could- be torturous (imagine spending the few months left of your life being terminally sick AND undergoing chemo and radiation, or 12-times-daily coffee enemas, under the Gerson Therapy that he's asking about).

I hope he has simply found out that his cancer has gone into remission and therefore doesn't need to make such decisions, but it sounds from his previous posts (in other threads) that he is resigned to his very unfortunate and tragic fate, and is preparing his family financially for their future without him.

I hope that he makes the most of whatever time he has left, if that is the case.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer two years ago, have turned down all traditional treatments and taken Essiac Tea . So far so good.

Homepathic cancer thread moved here. This is a thread from January and the title WAS homeopathic options, I think the OP meant Holistic options.

Thank you for cleaning this up--I felt really bad for the OP, who must have been under a great deal of stress. And yes, I think that it is a common misconception that homeopathic and holistic are interchangeable, when in fact homeopathic medicine is a subspecialty of the holistic methods.
