(CNN) -- A cancerous tumor in 13-year-old Danny Hauser's chest has shrunk significantly since he was ordered by a court last month to resume chemotherapy treatment, a family spokesman said.

So many people equate being sick with feeling sick, the worse people feel the worse it is, unfortunately cancer doesn't work like that. Since the treatments are regulated poison, many equate it to making them worse because they feel worse...you can see how all the "alternative" treatments happen in a relaxing spa atmosphere and everything is done to make the patient feel good more then do something.

Every person is different, they can do what they want with their bodies, but I'm the opinion I will do what works even if my hair falls out (starting to anyways really) and I feel sick all the time. Not that I wouldn't do other things in order to mitigate the effects of it or help it work, macrobiotic diet in conjunction shows a bit of an improved remission rate...ginger helps with nausea (I use it already)...etc. I work in a major oncology center now, I see the cure rates, the fatality rates...and we get a good number that use the alternative treatments from Mexico. They aren't as consistent in quality or effective as many like to champion, we see many poisonings and hospice care from those who tried it.

I've seen alternative treatments work, though it's very haphazard...one person I know found out he had cancerous nodes in his kidney. If you looked at him before he was an example why not to eat McD's....you could have just shown his diet on Fast Food Nation and shortened the movie to all of 5 minutes. He had the organ removed, changed his diet, lost 150 pounds (and fixed a number of other health problems), and switched from heavily processed foods to home cooked meals. He credits everything to "Alternative treatments", but it's misleading...it had not metasticized (it's been 3 years, so good chance it hadn't) and his health was a train wreck.

When the boy was on the run and taking natural supplement he was dying, couldn't breath and getting worse.
Now the boy is better and getting chemo and still the family say that is the natural supplement and not the actual chemo.
I am telling you this people are crazy, even with evidence right in front of them, they wont believe.

We will never know the truth. Of course the chemo started working right away. Big Pharma wants the general public to know only their way works. In a fasciast country whatever a big coorperation says is true.
