Vicky Sewart said she was concerned about the side-effects of the medicine which she was offered so opted to treat her condition with a health regime involving exercise and special foods.
She used a range of 'superfoods' including the spice Turmeric used in curries which she claims "makes cancer cells commit suicide".
She said she used the spice in dishes including curries, stir-fry and a range of other food.
Now, four years later and with no sign of the cancer coming back, the 44-year-old is at the centre of a research project to study how lifestyle can be used to help other victims of the disease.
in this, i could tend to agree, however, to ignore that which the mind controls could be equally fatal.
My opinion is that we cause most of our illnesses, especially cancer, with our minds and with our minds it should be possible to reverse those effects and to prevent them altogather.
this ^^^ could be a good question to explore in the philosophy section
What a change in our being that would require! Do some people have that ability? I don't see why not. I wonder how we could go about recognizing that ability in ourselves and others?

So to balance out the "reports" here, I'll add that a juicer and over $500-a-month for all manner of supplements was not enough to save my wife from breast cancer.
And as a post-scrpt I'll add that a few good doses of chemo put my nearly faital lymphoma cancer into remission a few years ago.

"Ms. Cecil's tumor was resistant to every single drug that we were giving her," said Dr. Jorge Casas, an orthopaedic oncologist at Forest Park Medical Center. "And it was resistant to most of the drugs that we would have given her." Casas said chemo-sensitivity tests were ordered in this case because the cancer is so difficult to treat. In other more common cancers, studied regularly, tests have previously shown what drugs may work best. Based on the sensitivity test, and new research, Forest Park doctors decided to try an unconventional approach, using over-the-counter vitamin D and the common arthritis drug, Celebrex. Recent studies show vitamin D does more than just reinforce strong bones. "The vitamin D can inhibit growth of the cancer cells," Casas explained. "Celebrex has been shown to inhibit a process called angiogenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels in other unrelated cancers." It worked. A year after diagnosis, Cecil is considered cancer-free.
and that methodology fits in with "first do no harm" how exactly?
To cut, poison and burn" should always be the first consideration
i'm all for consulting the medical professionals but placing myself as their personal guinea pig ?? nah, i get better results at home.
Basically, go the round with the experts first and then make your own plan.
for this and your last question, you would have to ask the patient, not me.
Where was any doctor involved in this veggie treatment?
