How sad, but also so true. They scare the crap out of patients so that they are fearful to try anything other than the standard chemo poison. The irony is that they will tell a cancer patient to eat a healthy diet of fruits and veggies while at the same time telling them if they take supplements, especially antioxidants, their treatment will fail. That whole lie was based upon an opinion in a paper many years ago - it was never from a study. But regardless, every oncologist and physician has been tau  7ff0  ght this BS.  I had a patient who survived stage 3 lung cancer. She had been taking supplements for years - good ones. In spite of the fact that she smoked she not only survived the cancer, she survived the chemo. We both attribute it to her taking the supplements. The only side effect she experienced from chemo was hair loss. That was it - she never got sick and in fact felt good. So, your premise is a correct one. The body innately knows what to do if we support it. Unfortunately, for those of us in the US, the only way to find some alternative treatments is to leave the country. There have been physicians that have been dogged to the point of being forced to leave the US as well. Some have even paid with their lives for daring to buck the system and actually heal their patients. I know a couple of physicians where I am who lost their licenses for stupid administrative nonsense - not because anyone was harmed from the treatments. They fought long legal battles to get their practices back. They continue to thumb their noses at the medical establishment - and their patients are the better for it.
