There is plenty of information online concerning the benefits of ultra high, intravenous doses of vitamin C used as part of either chemo or radiation treatment. I don't believe that I claimed the Vitamin C or cannabinoids cured anything, but the benefits of most non-invasive, natural treatments are either ignored or buried.
Western Medicine in my opinion is insulated and controlled by the almighty dollar. There is much more profit in treating symptoms than actually addressing the cause of those symptoms. That business protocol is a major factor in that Big Pharma was able to bank 711 billion in 2013.
When it comes right down to it I only trust the opinions of those, such as the OP that have lived through a medical hell, they are the experts on what works and what does not.

Seems like you did make the claim.
" 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."
And did you realise that alternative treatments (I won't call it medicine) should break the $60 BILLION mark this year in the US alone?
Not bad for unregulated "treatments" eh?
Like you I don't really trust opinions as they're generally skewed. I do however trust reproducible facts which alt med-heads tend not to be able to supply.
Whilst there has been some minor successes in small lab-trials with vit c and cannabis used in combination with other drugs (generally using them as adjuvants to chemo) they're not exactly earth-shattering and certainly nowhere near the non-westernised pseudo-healers would have you believe.

Good luck to the OP but I really don't think it's his self-medication which has helped him.
Had he not had prior surgery and chemo then I might think differently...

If you are not interested in the opinions or experiences of folks that have cured themselves, then why in the world are you in this thread.
As I see it, there is a person with first hand experience with an alternative treatment, and a successful one at that. I am surprised that this thread has stayed as quiet as it has.
Nofear39's story is promising and hopeful for those that are not being helped by conventional therapies.

Please let us know if you do get a response, and what is conveyed.
Sometimes I think that doctors cease to learn once they get their license. It will be refreshing if your Doctor looks further into the reason for your recovery. If he does not, we can get a pretty good feel for why so many folks end their lives feeling so awful from the conventional cures that they put so much hope into.
It just never made sense to me to assault the body with chemo and radiation and then expect that person to heal.

The Doctor didn't say you were “cancer free”, he said that you might still have cancer and its not appearing on the scans (which does happen). There is a big difference between those two things.
Either way, good luck to you.
