None, Nonchalant. You're repeating the propaganda of alternative therapy providers.

Right, so since you have an aversion to answering 'yes' to my question, and reading between the lines in your response I'll take that as you claiming these 'therapies' dont kill people.
The researchers found that the patients taking combined radiation and chemotherapy experienced a statistically significant reduction in deaths due to disease progression.
But they also experienced a statistically significant increase in deaths due to treatment-related toxicities and other causes....The authors also reported a "worrisome increase" in non-cancer deaths in the combined therapies group, including infection, second malignancy and suicide. This finding "could narrow the actual magnitude of survival gain," they write.

I haven't dictated anything.

Originally posted by AyjayIt might convince people who see conspiracies everywhere, but hey, they also reckon mini-nukes took out the World Trade Center, so there's not a high standard of evidence involved there.
Originally posted by AyjayYou're right - I have no faith in alternative treatment where cancer is concerned. There's a cancer cluster in my family right now - my niece, her great-aunt and great-uncle, her grandfather, and one of her uncles. Our family is all pulling together to make sure they all get the very best treatment they can get. That means doctors and hospitals and a lot of medicine and endurance.
Recommending what? A referral to a 'quack in Italy'? Where did I mention that? You obviously have done little investigation into what constitutes 'alternative medicine'. Their may well be plenty of 'quacks' out their, quite possibly just as many as their are incompetent or disinterested doctors, but that's no reason to dismiss the whole profession.
