for cancer in apricots we would know this by now. One guy has went into remission based on what possibly could be a cure from apricots. But it could
also be from a great cancer doc. Good treatments. Or other meds. And misleading cancer patients by telling them that an apricot is going to magically
solve their problems is pretty bad in my book.
So even if there was the POSSIBILITY of a cure/reduction in cancer, you would have the option gone?
giving credit to doctors is akin to giving credit to priests because something good happens.
There was a drug several years back that did NOT cure MS but gave several good YEARS of life to the sufferer.
At that time, the disease when into overdrive and you died FAST!
The FDA refused to ok it because it "gave a false since of hope".
IF you can get good results from a placebo (and charged ETHICALLY ), WHY NOT? Who are you do deny ANY possible good results?
IF you have tried everything and had no results, any option is a good option.
