Don't turn your back on alternatives and don't just go hunting for scammers. (Believe me, there are fewer crooks out there than in Big Pharma...)...
... Don't sit around waiting for a hundred clinical trials before you start talking about it. If you wait for that, you'll be waiting forever. Simply put, nobody wants to fund them...

... meanwhile, I am still waiting for a response to the inquiry and request I’ve posted here several times quite a while ago—which is for people to identify themselves by name and provide relevant medical documentation from before and after an alternative treatment that actually helped them....
slyseal28 said:... Our association promotes alternative ways of healing—just not charlatan methods. My trust in medicine is deep, and as long as I have any sense left in my head, I will trust doctors first and foremost...
I agree with Angela; if you want change, start an association and get to work, because no one else is going to step up or throw money at this (Jamie Rivera78 made it very clear what the interests and PROFITS of pharmacists look like)😠
I’ve actually already discussed this (in writing) with slyseal28 and Angela, so they have a better idea of where I'm coming from. No one is going to run a hundred clinical trials for us, nor will any patient just volunteer to send over their medical records on their own (the exceptions will prove the rule, of course)! If we actually want to achieve something, we need to start moving now—so that we (the future patients who might end up facing these kinds of cancers) can actually benefit. It’s already too late for our mothers, grandmothers, and grandfathers!
So, the bottom line is that conventional medicine doesn't work every single time (though clearly, some people do recover), and alternative medicine doesn't always work either (yet again, some people are fully healed). I am CONVINCED that recovery is highly specific to the individual patient. We just need to figure out the pattern—whether it depends on gender, blood type, age, diet, location, lifestyle, and so on. Once we uncover those patterns, people will actually know WHICH therapy works for them, rather than wasting massive amounts of money on treatments with questionable results.
Why don't pharmaceutical companies demand these kinds of regulations—or better yet, why don't they publish them if they actually know about them? It’s pretty simple, really: it brings them much higher profits 😠 if EVERY single patient takes their medication, rather than just the 10% who we actually know will truly recover because of it. 😠 😠
I sincerely hope that we can find the strength and the willpower to take a stand against these profiteers and build something for our own better future—instead of just bickering here on the forum, we should unite and channel all that energy into something that actually helps us all and serves the greater good!
