breast cancer-Prostate
Ray, you mention the PSA number of 4. Was that when Cancer was discovered? How did they determine there was cancer? If they did a biopsy, what was the Gleason score.
I don’t think too many people on this list will argue with you about the value of good diet but if someone is already eating reasonably well, diet is not going to be enough to stop a serious cancer and by serious, I do not mean such as my bladder situation or, from what it seems, your prostate. I am speaking to stage III and IV cancers and some that have already Metastasized.
I myself do not use the word ‘cure’ in the sense of an actual cure but use it because this is the term Conventional Medicine and some Alternatives prefer.
Cancer is a lot more difficult, depending upon circumstances, than simply giving up sugar and eating better while popping handsful of vitamins. Perhaps when in the deep throes of dealing with an aggressive cancer, avoiding a lot of fruit would probably be better, then again regardless of what some say, sugars are different just as a Candy Bar is not the same as an apple. There are fruitarians just as there are vegetarians and herbivores along with Omnivores that eat everything. The graveyards are filled with all types, non-smokers and smokers, candy-eaters and non-candy eaters-vegetarians and big-time meat-eaters.
Simplistic answers are not simplistic at all because they do not hold water and are not the answer. I strongly suggest that if one were to find out they were Stage IV with Mets to organs and bones, they need to do a lot more than stop all sugars, which is a good start by the way, and a lot more than pump in a lot of vitamins.
Just recently, on The LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone) list, a person wrote, “all you have to do is take LDN”…………..That statement couldn’t be left alone and I got in a sort of battle and the person deviated from that stand but never withdrew it. We have to try to stop people from that “all you have to do nonsense” when dealing with cancer. Even tried and true Alternative methods might not be “all you have to do”. There’s always enough truth in someone’s stand but that doesn’t mean we have to buy the entire premise. Many on this list do not need my kind of ranting but what about the new person? What about the person seeking answers to a fast-growing cancer? By all means, improve the diet immediately but what if there isn’t enough time? What if dramatic measures must be taken? Stop the sugar? Eat salad and pop vitamins? There is no room for “always”, “all the time” and “this works”………………without qualifying those words with ’sometimes’.
An almost doctrinal phrase is: ‘Nothing works for all people all the time”. This list is a valuable tool and we need to keep it that way and a tool can be used or abused. It’s up to the craftsman.
