Gee - public health care diagnosed my cancer and cured it. As to outside options being taboo to mention, here's a link to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre discussing an herbal product called Zyflamend. While it's not a ringing endorsement...neither is it 'taboo'.www.mskcc.org...

Of course they can detect the problems, but once that's successfully done, then all objectivity is lost and the King of the World, Big Pharma, takes over. At that point, all other options outside of prescription drugs, chemo, radiation, and all manner of toxic poison are taboo to even mention.

Our bodies are not designed for consuming synthetics though, and there are many drawbacks to forcing them on it.

Well Rezlooper was online for hours last night and he did not bother to post an update.
He posted here www.abovetopsecret.com... on the 22nd.

Im truly sorry G's cancer has not gone away , my father is fighting cancer at the moment.
There is no doubt that changing someones diet will make them feel better and make some of the symptoms less noticeable. Im glad that he is not suffering so much at the moment.
Please post the document when you can.

How was his original "cancer" diagnosed? If it was just a PSA test and a rectal exam...that is a really really bad doctor.
Did they actually do a biopsy or any other imaging studies?
If you are going to a small community hospital, and not a hospital (or doctor associated with a hospital) that is in the top 50 of the nation...then I think what you are probably seeing here is not a cure of cancer...but a mis-diagnosis in the first place.
Small community hospitals are places to go to die or to go to die quicker. I won't go to small hospitals ever...I always travel for over an hour to get to a larger city with better hospitals. Small hospitals are notorious for having the very worst doctors (because they aren't skilled enough to get jobs at real hospitals) and ironically they are the most arrogant doctors.
So I am very interested in how "G" was diagnosed in the first place...all I keep hearing you talk about is the PSA and a physical exam...if they "diagnosed" based off that...that is just criminal.
Yes, he had a biopsy done at the Duluth Clinic, Duluth, MN, along with a whole battery of tests to make sure it didn't spread. He definitely had cancer, so face it, natural cures do work.

Wow, you are a bit hostile. I'm not saying "natural cures" do not work...I was questioning the capability of his doctors...something I think you would be sympathetic to since you don't seem to "trust" them.
I do think natural cures do work...but not in every case. I have nothing against "traditional" cures...which in reality are also "natural" (most chemo drugs are plant extracts). I don't think "natural cures" are "miracle cures" nor do I think they work quite as quickly as you are describing. So that is why I was thinking maybe this was more of a mis-diagnosis than a "cure".
The next point is that you are being a little over zealous about throwing around the word "cure"...again I'm all for natural/alternative therapy...but you need to be careful about throwing words around like "cure". If a diagnosis was made by biopsy, then the only way to claim a cure is by a followup biopsy. His PSA is still elevated, and yes it can be elevated for other reasons...but already having a confirmed diagnosis recently there is no reason to think that the PSA is still from the cancer. That doesn't mean the "natural therapy" of his diet isn't working...it just means that it isn't "cured" yet. I wouldn't expect any treatment to cure cancer in under a month...that just isn't realistic.
You have proof of one thing...this diet he is on is improving his symptoms and removing most of his pain. If nothing else...this is a great thing. If it turns out he isn't "cured" right now by this diet...who cares really? He is feeling better.
Bottom line is that I think you need to chill out with the whole "cure" talk. It seems to me that you are more interested in being right about him being cured than you are interested in him feeling better...which is a shame. Be happy for the impact you have made regardless if the cancer is "cured" from this or not.

BPH is considered a normal part of the aging process in men and is hormonally dependent on testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) production. An estimated 50% of men demonstrate histopathologic BPH by age 60 years. This number increases to 90% by age 85 years.
Sorry, bud...when my GP, my urologist and my oncologist say "Do this, it will cure you"...that ain't Plan B!

I'm not saying that those who face cancer with traditional medicine don't have courage, but I think it takes that extra something inside to use that as plan B and take it head on with a natural cure first.
