Quackery

Quackery - The practice of fraudulent medicine, usually in order to make money or for ego gratification and power. Those who practise quackery are called "quacks" and are in the business of selling false hope to ill-informed people who may be genuinely suffering. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quackery)

During the quest for cancer treatment, you will come across a lot of suggestions and alternative therapies. You really have to vet carefully the treatment and diet your well-meaning friends and relatives will suggest. Some may have worked for certain people or cancer, and some are downright suspicious-sounding.

Well, as long as it does not compromise my health; the medication has no side effects and won't conflict with my herbs, I will go with it. If there are really parasites, then fine; if not, well, no harm is done except for the time and expenses...but its a small price to pay for an adventure :)

Actually, in the uncompromising view of the webmaster, all alternatives to the conventional cancer therapy (surgery, chemo and radiotherapy) are quackery! Anyway, it is a good place to start but eventually, you will need to use your wisdom in accepting the views. The website is at
