Seekers on Unique Paths

I also believe you should not exclude the scientific data when making a decision. Many illnesses can be assisted with herbal medications. Cancer is just not one of those illness. If there is a potential curative effect for cancer with surgery/chemo/radiation I think it would be foolish not to at least try that route, but that is only my opinion. I would not encourage anyone to put toxic chemicals or radiation into their body unless they had a decent prognosis for recovery. When diagnosed, doctors would likely go through all the risks and benefits and, survival rates with and without scientific medication. If their situation is one of palliation only, and they are desirous of only comfort care measures to make them more comfortable, then I say go for any alternative means that will will get the results. In the end, only the person with the illness can make that decision.
