Have you been to the Herbal/Natural Remedies section of your Pharmacy lately? or How about a stand alone herbals and naturopathic remedies store?
Last time I checked - their products were expensive and they sold a fair amount. Someone's making a bunch of money off of them or you wouldn't be seeing them for sale in stores.

There are many ways to cure cancer. The basic philosophy is to increase the body's immune system to make the body to fight cancer. The key mechanism of body immune system is to create the hydrogen peroxide in the body.
Hydrogen peroxide can be harmful if swallowed. Drinking the concentrated solutions sold in some health food stores (35%, or "food grade" hydrogen peroxide) can cause vomiting, severe burns of the throat or stomach, and even death. Direct skin contact or breathing the vapors of hydrogen peroxide can also be harmful.
Hydrogen peroxide destroys blood platelets, the cells that coagulate to stop bleeding, and puts oxygen into the bloodstream that can form bubbles which stop the flow of blood to the organs...
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a very pale blue liquid, slightly more viscous than water, that appears colorless in dilute solution. It has strong oxidizing properties, and is a powerful bleaching agent. It is used as a disinfectant, antiseptic, oxidizer, and in rocketry as a propellant.[2] The oxidizing capacity of hydrogen peroxide is so strong that it is considered a highly reactive oxygen species.
Hydrogen peroxide is naturally produced in organisms as a by-product of oxidative metabolism. Nearly all living things (specifically, all obligate and facultative aerobes) possess enzymes known as peroxidases, which harmlessly and catalytically decompose low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are chemically-reactive molecules containing oxygen. Examples include oxygen ions and peroxides. They can be either inorganic or organic.[citation needed] Reactive oxygen species are highly reactive due to the presence of unpaired valence shell electrons. ROS form as a natural byproduct of the normal metabolism of oxygen and have important roles in cell signaling. However, during times of environmental stress (e.g. UV or heat exposure) ROS levels can increase dramatically. This can result in significant damage to cell structures. This cumulates into a situation known as oxidative stress. ROS are also generated by exogenous sources such as ionizing radiation.

So just to make a point here. I haven't seen one testimony from one person who had cancer and beat it with collodial silver, h2o2, elderberry, blackberry or anything else. I have seen a second hand testimony. You would think someone who had survived using a "natural" cure would have been drawn to a site like this one. But it appears not. I will take chemo if I get cancer as opposed to unproven methods.

Everything starts with diet & nutrition and goes from there. If I could afford to buy a ton of the herbal salve I mentioned in the other thread and give it away so people could be well, I would do that. I'm not trying to "sell snake oil." I want people to be well. Period.

The friend I have that has cancer now, (ovarian) was a life long health food person. Die hard. Never smoked, grew her own food, made tofu from scratch, did macro biotics, (could write a book on it) organized co-ops, studied Ayurvedic medicine, (at one of the best school in the country) I just cannot think of any person who more epitomized the healthy lifestyle than she. (And her husband)
He has Parkinsons, she has ovarian cancer. In both cases, there is a genetic predisposition in the family. Diet and nutrition will not prevent everything. Its wonderful to live well. But it is no guarantee, as she found out. She resisted conventional treatment, longer than she should have, but all the new age and alternative cures failed her miserably.
She finally agreed to surgery, but not chemo. They got all visible cancer, and she went back to the natural stuff. It came back. Finally, backed into a corner, and having lost the advantage gained by surgery. (Now they cant operate, its too diffuse) She finally agreed to chemo. The cancer responded like a freakin miracle. But.........she couldnt get over the "poison" aspect of it. And she kept delaying her treatments, even though she had really very few side effects. (Probably because her lifestyle had kept her so otherwise healthy) The tumor shrank to no visible on the images, and her counts went down to clean, and she quit the course of treatments early.
And its back.
Now she is on some horrible experimental trial, and the side effects are awful, and she will probably not finish it, and we all kinda know how this is going to end. And it pisses me off because I care about her, and her own stubborness has made her drag her feet and thwart her treatments all the way.
If she passes away, (or when) from this cancer, the "all natural" community will use her as a statistic to show that chemo and conventional treatments dont work. What they wont tell anyone is that my friend refused treatment of a deadly cancer for almost a year because of her belief in natural healing, and then undermined all her treatments since that time because of her beliefs that they are poison and bad. So Western medicine will be blamed entirely, when in fact, we will never know how much better or longer she would have lived if she had just done what they recommended right away.
The chemo was working. She stopped it before the course was done. Against all advice from her doctors, and her friends, even though it was working because she was afraid of the side effects.
You dont live long enough to get the secondary cancers unless they stop the initial cancer from killing you. Thats something to remember. Untreated ovarian cancer has a very short life expectancy. Living long enough to get a second cancer from this treatment would be a godsend for her, one that I doubt she will be lucky enough to get.
