I'm familiar with some of the more helpful research that is happening within Westernized medicine and research, however the many good treatments that have been used with great success in the past, such as high doses of vitamin C and cannabis oil never really make it to the the offices of most oncologists.
For a doctor to recommend additional chemotherapy after the first round failed is somewhat indicative of institutionalized thinking, which in my opinion is the reason for the utter failure in a war on cancer.
My other beef with Western medicine is the assault on clinics and doctors who practice an alternative approach.
I even doubt the her actual diagnosis as they’ve done no MRI or CT scans, no blood tests, no biopsy on the lump that showed up in her stomach on an ultrasound a month ago.
Placebo effects, defined this way, are not imaginary. They are genuine changes produced by a person's knowledge or belief in a manipulation. For example, if you wore a certain cologne which made you feel more attractive, you might act more attractive and be more attractive. This would be a placebo effect if your belief affected your behavior, but the cologne by itself had no real effect. To determine whether that was the case, the placebo effect would have to be controlled.
When Edgar Cayce, fully awake, considered human anatomy, it was with the eye of a professional portrait photographer. In trance, however, when "the Source" spoke through the sleeping Cayce, he was the "psychic diagnostician," reporting on temperature, blood pressure, and other physical and anatomical details of a patient’s body. Cayce could describe a patient’s condition in such a cool, calm, and detached manner that observers were left with the impression that he was a physician describing to fellow colleagues an examination he was in the process of conducting, except for the fact that Cayce’s patients didn’t have to be in the same room or even in the same country as Cayce. He appeared to be able to see right into his patient’s body, to examine each organ, blood vessel, and artery with microscopic precision, and then recommend treatments to restore or enhance a patient’s health. Many of Cayce’s recommended treatments, once dismissed as the fanciful products of an overactive imagination, are now considered state-of-the-art medical treatment and have earned Cayce the distinction of being called the father of holistic medicine.

I hate people calling it Western Medicine.
What you mean is medicine that works and is tried and tested rather than treatments that aren't?
After 12 years of looking I still can't find even one case of cancer that was cured using vit C or cannabis.
The evidence I would accept is a confirmed diagnosis of cancer, treatment regimen whether with concurrent treatment or not, evidence of disease regression and evidence of remission or disease cessation. Naturally this evidence would nave to be verifiable and not just word of mouth.
If you can provide that I will happily change my mind.
