Noy you "trust me" literally, its a figure of speach.
And my point exactly, Chemo is a death sentence, the *majority* of the time.
Untreated cancer is a death sentence even more of the majority of the time, though, on average.
Also, chemo is not a death sentence in some cancers, it is situation specific. It can work very well in certain cancers. From the nonsense I see touted on this board, "uneducated" is actually closer to the truth than "internet quack site educated", as seems to be the norm in certain places where people think you can beat cancer with things like juicing, or baking soda.edit on 6-8-2012 by humphreysjim because: (no reason given)
9% success rate is laughable. you could reach 9% with placebo or no treatment at all, yet you're touting it's 9% and claiming we are uneducated. that's made me chuckle quite a bit.
9% figure has been massaged to look good.more like 3%....
in any case loads of people are told they have cancer when they don't.then they get chemo which gives them cancer!
the false positive rate is very high
Gobsmacked for a second time, to realise its 2%!!!

humphreysjim I would like to make a few things clear. First of all, you say there is nothing proven to be better than chemotherapy..... Do you realize that even if there is a natural remedy out there better than the chemo stats, we would not hear about them? Do you know why? No scientific studies are done on natural remedies,

Even though thousands if not millions of people have spread the word about how vitamin B17 cured their cancer. Or the thousands that have been cured by drinking hydrogen peroxide, or by the gerson therapy, or by essiac, or many other cancer treatments.

im sorry to hear that you had to go through that... many healthy wishes to thee
ive had 2 cancer scares myself, as on my mums side breast cancer is prominent.... and my mums mum died from it at a very young age... my mums also had scares too - so far, we've both been clear.
but it is frightening. every time i find a new lump in my breast it scares the hell outta me.
but if i did get cancer, i would like all information available to me, so i can choose which treatment i would like, and which ones to avoid should they give cause for the cancer to grow...

and i never said it would cure.... does it look like chemo is curing...???? does it look like radiation is curing....??? yes, in some cases it can kill off the cancer, but only in a very small percentage of cases....
If the cancer is killed off, that is a cure, no?
I am not touting chemo as a "cure" anyway, but the quacks are very quick to tout cannabis as a "cure" along with all other manner of nonsense.

Well I'm going to be starting Chemo in a few weeks. It has kept me alive in the past I am well aware that it wont cure my tumour, but if it gives me another 5 years, then I want to give it a shot.
It's very easy to talk about statistics, but when you are confronted with a diagnosis, your options are rather limited. To completely dismiss the recommendations of the specialists and experts, the people who have dedicated their live's to fighting cancer is either very brave or very stupid. I will be using complimentary therapies along side my Chemo, but I have responded well in the past and fingers crossed I will respond well again.
