Bob you seem to be a good guy, so please stop wasting your time arguing with people who refuse to accept your thought process. Dont even read the illformed walls of text. You dont have to reply to every idiot who posts, youll have no time! Anyone rationale can already judge the merits of your points, anyone else is not reasonable so it’s pointless,

[...] not the way science is supposed to be done, and his record, as demonstrated by the public record, appears dismal. Barring the publication of truly convincing clinical trial evidence by more sources than just [...]

Are you that concerned about people spending and going bankrupt trying alternative Cancer treatments ?
Honestly, as long as I remember, everybody I knew who were diagnosed with Cancer in my family, relatives and friends, went for Chemotherapy and many got radiation. They all suffered a lot from those treatments and THEY ALL DEAD TODAY.
Some managed to live 5 or 6 years after being diagnosed but they all dead today. Here are their names. My Grand father, Frank G, my Dad, Remi T. my aunts Therese D, Darcina D, Helene H., Madeleine T. Monique T. my uncles Gerard G, Gaston T.,Jean-Paul T. Clement T. My Godfather Roland M. my niece Amelie L (19 yo), my neighbours,Gerard Chapdelaine, Simon Cote, Rita Belanger, my friends, Agathe Lacroix, Dave Lamont (33 yo), Ivan Scolli, (55 yo), plus many more co-workers, friends of friends, Shop owners, barbers, etc…who I personnally met and got to know. NONE of them survived Cancer completely… they lived in pain and fear, went thru many repetitive treatments..and their quality of life was greatly reduced to being OK to be alive for a few more years. Imagine the Zilllions of dollars that have been raised over the last 40 years to fight Cancer…it’s just a big $$$ BUSINESS and I firmly believe that many who claim being Survivors NEVER HAD CANCER IN THE FIRST PLACE. Thousands of people in North America are being misdiagnosed every year and found out (many after their breast have been removed) they never had Cancer in the first place………. I guess we can call them Survivors. YEAH RIGHT !!!
Good Night Bob

Happy to tell them that. Do you have her email? Do you think it is true because the Queen uses it? That’s idiotic, perhaps the worst logic anyone has ever used on my site. Ever. I’m not all surprised she has a homeopath. The Price of Wales is a notorious alt med sucker.

I used to do a demonstration where I would take a hundred homeopathic sleeping pills in front of my class. In three consecutive classes. They are placebo. Grow up. And you completely dismiss informed choice. If you know that ANP doesn’t work and that in 35 years B’s never even specified a target of action for his chemotherapy, and you still want to go there, I’m not going to stop you. If you are willing to be colossally ripped off…that’s your problem. But you are also bankrupting your heirs.

Dear Bob,

Go tell Queen Elizabeth II and Dr.Peter Fisher, her personal physician since 2001 that Homeopathy is ridiculous…

Have a good day Bob and Freedom of choice is the foundation of our society.
Like I said to you earlier, we all know that cigarette causes Cancer but our society allows anyone to buy them anyway.

And I believe that informed consent is something that patients should have. To suggest that ANP is any more effective than giving a tumor a stern talking to is dishonest and denies patients an informed choice.

Yes. She had a lumpectomy to remove it and then she had radiotherapy. Conventional treatments. Also she took the Wiley Protocol. In doing so, she suppressed her immune system, contracted an invasive fungal infection (something so rare in someone without AIDS that her doctors thought the cancer had simply come back), and nearly freaking killed herself. I have no doubt that she will significantly shorten her own life. In fact, she told them that she as not on hormones, so they ruled out a suppressed immune system (that would make her susceptible to fungal infection), and made the reasonable diagnosis that her cancer had returned. After the fact, she was so pissed off when doctors suggested that her bioidentical hormones were….exactly the same as other hormones, that she blamed THEM. She’s a nutloaf and lucky to have not killed herself so far.

Homeopathy is demonstrably ridiculous. It’s a series of dilutions. Say you have insomnia. You take 1:100 solution of caffeine, tap it magically, then dilute that to 1:100 in water, tap that, dilute it to 1:100 AGAIN….and this is an exponential process, and once you pass 1 part per 6.02*(10^23) dilution (1/Avagadro’s number), you can’t say that there is anything OTHER than water in the container. Most dilutions are one molecule per VOLUME OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM. So, no. Homeopathy is absolutely, utterly ridiculous. In order for homeopathy to work, everything we know about chemistry, physics and pharmacology (including the use of antineoplastons and other chemotherapies) would have to be wrong. Really. You can’t believe in ANP and homeopathy and still think that you make sense.

Of course, 70% or more of ailments resolve themselves without a doctor, so people chalk up successes to homeopathy all the time when they really should be thanking Darwinian selection.

You miss the point my dear Bob.

The question is about letting people chose the treatment they want.

Remember when Susan Somers announced she had Breast Cancer and went for alternative cancer treatments instead of conventional medecine ?

Is Susan Somers still alive ??? YES…even if the American Cancer Society discredited her and the Wiley Protocol which has been labelled as “scientifically unproven.

Dear Bob, do you believe in Homeopathy or is Homeopathy just another way for “gaming the system for personal gain” ???

Why? When there is no evidence that it works and there is substantial evidence that the doctor is gaming the system for personal gain, taking tons of money with offering no possibility of benefit? Why? Also, I have seen how badly they read MRIs at the Clinic. Look at theotherburzynskipatientgroup.wordpress.com, and you will see the not imaginary costs of doing business with this quack.

Why should terminal patients, who according to orthodox medicine will die, be prevented from accessing non-orthodox therapies through their medical doctors? In particular, if a patient understands that the treatment has not been approved by the FDA and that the risks and benefits cannot be fully identified or quantified, and nonetheless gives his or her informed consent to participate in the research, why should he or she be prevented from making that choice?

FDA has never stopped tobacco companies from selling cigarettes and
People are still able to buy cigarettes even if we all know they cause cancer….
WHY??? because, as far as I know and hope, we still live in a free society…
