After scrolling through this and several other forums regarding the herbalist Joe from Cynthia, I felt compelled to share my own experience so anyone considering his services understands both sides of the story before they jump in. About eight months ago, my mother was diagnosed with cancer, and naturally, our family immediately began searching for alternative ways to tackle the problem, which eventually led us to Joe. When we first started digging through online forums for feedback, we mostly encountered success stories—but now I realize why that is. Once you lose someone dear to you, you don't exactly have the stomach to go back onto a forum to write about it, let alone vent, so from an outsider's perspective, it looks like everyone had a positive experience and that this herbalist is some kind of miracle worker. But that’s just not the reality. My mother, while using Joe's services which we paid $2333 and despite his grand promises that he could cure this specific type of cancer—all while waving around various hospital documents—passed away a month ago.
I'm writing this because I want anyone venturing into the world of alternative medicine to know exactly what they're dealing with; in 99% of cases, you're looking at people who prey on desperation and do nothing but cause harm. This isn't even an isolated incident, as there are plenty of people in San Francisco who were "treated" by Joe and ended up dead. Of course, he isn't the only one out there, but I'd encourage anyone who has dealt with other herbalists to speak up here so people stop pinning false hopes and throwing money at the empty promises of self-proclaimed doctors.
