This (probably long) write up is in response to the thread about true cures While I have no doubt that most posters here know most of these facts, maybe it will help one or two readers to decide what path to choose should they get this horrible affliction. This is ment as nothing more than a...

Can anyone point me to some literature about the use of bloodroot to treat cancer? A co-worker is upset that a friend of hers is planning to treat herself this way, and asked me to find something to point out the folly. If anyone knows of a particularly good article, please let me know. If not...

A while ago, I remember reading an essay (or maybe it was a forum post somewhere) stating that we've "already found" a cure for breast cancer, and that that cure was to detect them early on and remove them before they get a chance to become malignant. Assuming regular mammograms and breast...

NY Post reports cellphone & cancer "link", before the study has been published I wouldn't the big C on anyone of course, but I would love if this marked a sharp downtown in all the morons walking around with these damn things glued to their ears 24/7. Appears that the big companies might have...

Well, Suzanne Somers strikes again. The bouncy blonde from Three's Company, back in the 70s, has now become a cancer expert. I caught her last night on TV for a few minutes, where she complained that when she was diagnosed with cancer, all they offered her was surgery, chemo, and radiation. No...

So, I'm sure this has been done to death in some thread I can't find, the ones I could find involve microwaving plastic, which has been debunked. My roommate is convinced that me refilling my water bottle is going to give me cancer, she says her grandfather got cancer for this same reason and...

As you might recall Richard Roberts, Oral Roberts' son, was forced out of his position as president of Oral Roberts University with very embarrassing accusations. Well, it appears Roberts has now decided to "cure" cancer, and on television no less where he asks for donations. But he'll have to...

According to a recent article in a news source called the Saudi Gazette, a Saudi medical researcher has found a cure for cancer. Indeed, this is very exciting. You might be wondering why camel urine would have this potential. I was wondering too, until I read this: Interesting, isn't it...
