Cancer is the enemy that
has touched so many of our lives. If we don't or haven't had cancer then we know someone who has it or knows someone with
it. Cancer is evil, it's insidious and it doesn't care who it kills. It destroys lives, families and creates tremendous fear
in those who are diagnosed with it.
Physicians only know 3 ways to treat cancer, that is with Chemotherapy, Radiation
and Surgery. These treatments don't do a very good job of treating this disease, in fact they can make things worse by destroying
the body and it's immune system.
It's my personal opinion that there are
other great alternatives to treating cancer rather than the standard treatments offered by a physician. That's what this website
is all about, giving information to those who wish to seek information on alternative treatments and ideas.
This information is not to "replace"
your physicians advice but rather to enhance it by seeking other alternatives as well to keep your body strong and healthy so
that it can fight disease more efficiently.
I am one of those people with a cancer
story, just like so many of you......
My brother Bob was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins
Lymphoma back in 1999. At the time none of us were afraid. We didn't have any experience with cancer nor did we have
any other family members that had cancer. We were complacent and totally nonchalant (I was) about the whole diagnosis. My
brother had a fighting spirit about him and thought he could beat this interruption in his life no problem. He thought with
treatment it would just "go away". This is when we found out the truth about cancer and how evil it really is.
During
the 2 years after the diagnosis he had chemo and radiation. Big mistake. This form of treatment can be as bad
as the disease itself. It totally annihilated his immune system - there was nothing left to fight the cancer cells. He became
weak and could not eat.
After the doctors had told him there was nothing left they could do he went home defeated.
I think this may be when he realized that cancer could kill him. We then gathered enough money together and sent him to a
clinic in Mexico that specializes in the "Gerson" diet. I wish we would have known about this place when Bob was diagnosed,
I am convinced he would still be here. It is very difficult for a body to recover (if at all) after standard cancer treatments.
I think it's important to at least consider Alternative/Complimentary Therapies at the time of diagnosis - not after chemo,
radiation or surgery.
Bob passed away on February 20th, 2001 - just over 2 months after the doctors told him there
was no hope. Myself, my mother, son, and my brother surrounded him with love as he slipped away. I miss him terribly.
He was my buddy and we had SO many good, fun and hilarious times together.
This website was created in his memory.
It is an information only wesite for
those who wish to seek Alternative ideas.
