I don't see how the existence of an alternative to chemo threatens or somehow denigrates the hopes of a cure via chemo-only.
That being said, I can understand the underlying and basic tenor of this thread. People fighting cancer, especially those with grave prognoses, including my husband, receive such a range of comments from people who have not been in their shoes. To those who have put a lot of stock in conventional medicine and are, for whatever reason, prejudiced against alternatives, comments such as "you need to eat more broccoli" most certainly can come off as flip and insensitive. If only it was that easy! My point was to say that people who have gone and are going through the natural route have to make incredibly difficult lifestyle changes and have to have tremendous will power and commitment. The regimen consumes your entire life because it takes so much time and effort on a daily basis to gather and prepare your food and to exercise, meditate, etc. Having been there myself, albeit with cardiovascular disease, I know this firsthand. When I "detoxed" with a hardcore diet and exercise program, I spent a good seven or so hours each day preparing and cooking each meal, cleaning up, exercising, and meditating.

Regarding who has cancer: First, what does that matter? Second, my husband has cancer, yes, but he is not following an entirely conventional treatment. He is using supplements and diet.
Nasty bullies my husband called the lot of you. I am getting to see for myself what he meant.
