Just a comment: I shared some data on H2O2 on another site unrelated to the earthclinic about H2O2 and I guess they did not want to hear it. They called it snake oil to say the least. My intent was not to say H2O2 was the gospel for curing cancer, but just to hear someone elses viewpoints. It did not go well.. but Im open to hear about success rates with it.

A friend suffering lung cancer advised me to try HP, saying how much better he felt generally. Will it be safe to give my husband who has Myeloma?

I started taking H202 (food grade) November 11th 2011, I was told my throat cancer was fatal, nothing could be done. Today I was told not only the tumor but also the cancer is gone, no sign of it. You nay sayers can do as you wish, don't listen to us lucky people that feel better than we have in years. But if you do use it, follow the instructions, don't use the cheap stuff you get at local stores, use food grade only. Read up on it, my wife bought this and gave me the max dose, heck we were told I had less than a month, how could it hurt?Now with today's news we can start planning trips we thought would never happen.

Hi, thanks for your post. So great to hear that. My husband has oropharyngeal cancer, we are dealing with this alternatively, want no part of the medical insanity. Could you please tell me how you took the HP? We take it already, the 35% yes, put drops in drinks, he probably gets 12-15 drops each day. Should I give him more? Thank you for any help in this 🤗

Hi Linda

Read your post. So sad.

I would like to share with you that Frankincense Oil is the best for killing any tumors By rubbing on the area or taking 2 to 3 drops internaly.

I had a small tumor in my bladder and before my next cat scan it was half gone. I rubbed 2-3 drops morning and night. Thought it would be a great help to add to your battle.

All the best

Linda,

It may be useful for your husband, if he tolerates melatonin, to take melatonin lozenges, dissolved and or chewed in the mouth, right when he lays down to go to sleep as this will allow the melatonin to not only go systemic but allow it to bathe the throat and esophageal area for an extended period of time. The addition of vitamin C and Andrographis should also be of value. Melatonin can also help ameliorate collateral oxidative damage caused by HP intake.

Yesterday, I posted a question about my husband's gastric and esophagul cancer, asking about ACV. I meant to type H2O2, as that is what is used to conquer cancer. Please answer my question if possible. Also, if there is anything that will help with my obvious mental and physical exhaustion, please let me know.

Mandy, Also re cancer it is important that your husband alkalise his body. Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment.

I have two excellent books "The pH Miracle" by Robert O Young and "The pH Balance Diet" by Bharti Byas. The pH Miracle in particular has some excellent advice re cancer. Both books lists alkalising foods.

I would also recommend your husband drink fresh wheatgrass juice daily. It not only has an alkalising effect but contains chlorophyll which helps the blood cells deliver oxygen around the body. It would also be good for you re energy levels.

Hi Kenny, I hope you will be willing to look at Dr. Brian Clement on youtube. There are several series that you can watch and he is very inspiring in terms of healing- really dire ones too. If you can help your dad make changes to his diet, I know he will see a difference. Hearing Brian Clement speak will be a testimony of the power of this. He speaks of how they heal people through diet at their healing center. If you can get him to drink green juices through out the day or at least in the morning and add in lots of sprouts- both of these are powerfully rejuvenating to the body. I truly wish you both the very best and hope you will look into this.

Peace to you, Lisa

H2O2 for Cancer

Don't get too excited about this being a cure all. I have completed the full regimen from 3 drops 3 times a day up to 25 drops 3 times a day and then stayed at 25 times a day for an additional 4 days before reducing all the way back to 3 drops 3 times a day (which is recomended as a maintenance dose) I did this for prostate cancer as a way of "doing something" while the fight is on with the insurance co to pay for treatment. After some 47 days (and those 25 drop days were really hard to take) my latest psa test came back @ 4.2 from 4.4 Not a very good result in my view. It was an option to stay at that 25 drop level for 1-3 weeks for "serious conditions" and then back off. I just couldn't do it.

Here's is what a lady says she does with H2O2. Every day for 2 years: 3 times a day nasal spray. Drinks purified water with food grade H2O2 (8 drops per 12-fl oz. Use cotton cloth soaked with H2O2 (3%) over the counter bottle in shower for neck and under the arm glands (hold for 5 minutes) Also, on paper cuts on hands too! Weekly: Soak in bath tub with 3% H2O2 on abdominal and upper Chest (lungs & heart for one hour. To be cancer free.

I just called my uncle to tell him about hydrogen peroxide (who has throat cancer, though it's in remission), and, I got all excited about it--that I had read here that it had cured some people's cancers, etc, and he just laughed, then said, "Tara--that's why my cancer is in remission."

He said he had stumbled upon this treatment accidently, when 20 years he swallowed some hydrogen peroxide (not on purpose) while brushing his teeth one day.

Then he said--"it just made me feel better, so I continued to do it".

Since then, he's been drinking one 16oz glass of water with a little hydrogen peroxide every day for the last 20 years. He said even though he still has a tumor, it hasn't changed since he started this treatment, and like he said, he's still alive. (The doctors are "baffled", because they think he should have died a long time ago.) [I wish we could hold some kind of conference to exchange these stories--you don't know me, and I don't know you, but if you knew me, you'd know, that I was only writing this because it's the truth, and I'm writing it in the hopes it might keep someone else's loved one alive after a diagnosis of cancer for 20 years too. It's so crazy to think about it (because it counters everything we've grown to believe), that I still have a hard time things like this myself, but after reading about this therapy, then talking my uncle--a lot more lives could be saved if we dropped the propaganda and started having open discussions about human health, irrelevant of money and power--]

My friend who cured his cancer (huge 2 grapefruit tumor in stomach) used food grade h202 in a bath (2 cups per bath) and soaking in it (not eyes) for 20 minutes to infuse vessels with oxygen. this combined with ozone water 2x's a day, diet and exercise and he has eliminated cancer. Do you know of any other people using Hydrogen peroxide (food grade) this way?


Hydrogen Peroxide
Posted by Bill Munro (Waterford, Michigan)

I have been inhaling 3% peroxide for over 13 years. And had a bout with Melanoma and Prostate cancer at the same time. At no time would I let anything like a salve be on my open Melanoma because that would take away the oxygen needed to heal from the outside. The peroxide I inhale would supply the oxygen on the inside. I increased the times that I inhale the peroxide into my mouth to 7 or 8 times a day. I used a nasal spray pump. With each inhale I would pump the pump about 10 times. This went on for four months. I now pump 5 times with each inhale and 7 inhales every day. My EKG says I am clean now.

"Hydrogen Peroxide is the most over looked chemical used by man. New uses of it are coming to light every day. Bad bugs be they, in your garden or your body, they cannot live in an oxygen rich environment.

At 69 years old my muscles were so tight that to get out of bed I would lay on my stomach and back out on to the floor, push down on the bed and stand up. I knew there was something to correct this bad situation. One morning while having coffee with a friend, I noticed he had brought a small stack of books with him. Being curious, I asked if I could look at the books. The one that stood out to me was "O2xygen Therapies". As I was scanning it, it became more interesting to me. I asked him if I could take it home. It was a week before returning the book. Being convinced Hydrogen Peroxide was what I was looking for, it was now going to into my system? The book gave three choices. Put 8 to 10 drops in an 8 oz cup and drink it, four times a day. Next was, put a pint of 35% in the bathtub and soak for 1 hour once a week. Or go to a doctor for intravenous infusion once a week. None of these had any appeal to me.

After a week or two I decided that the easiest, and most efficient way was to inhale the 3% peroxide into my mouth and on into my lungs. I just happened to have a "Nasal Spray Pump" (see sample picture below). I dumped the contents out, put in the 3% peroxide as it comes from the drugstore. Now, how many times do I pump? I settled for one pump per inhale, and 4 times a day. That went on for about a month. As I was laying down for a short rest, I noticed that I was breathing freely. No forced inhale or exhale. That was the first thing that I noticed while inhaling the peroxide. I then changed the time when to inhale the peroxide. Now I inhale 2 times in the morning and at night. While deep inhaling I pump the pump as many times as I can, usually 8 to 10 pumps each inhale. Another thing I noticed was, I sleep all night with my mouth closed. I used to have heart aches that were very uncomfortable, no more.

My wife and I have been inhaling peroxide for 9 years now and no colds, sore muscles, aches or pains. I take no medication or vitamins. I am less than two years to 80 years old. My lungs don't give out when I work in my garden or other things around the house. My house is 160 years old, so the work never stops. Peroxide keeps our oxygen blood count in the high 90's.

One of the first people that used the peroxide as I do was very interesting. He had a low self-esteem. I found out that he was on kidney dialysis. I discussed the peroxide several times with him. Finally one day I went to his house with a nasal spray pump. He opened it and poured out the contents and filled it back up with 3% peroxide. He sprayed it in to his mouth and into his lungs. I said you know how to do it, and I left. Three days later I called him to see if anything had happened. He said that he could breath easier. Four days later he called me, he was so excited all he could say was "It's working, It's working". I asked "What did it do?". He said he was waking up about an hour and a half before normal and that he was coughing up all the bad stuff that was in his lungs. He went back to bed and when he woke up, he said he had not felt that good in years. From that time on his spirit was always good and his voice was up beat.

A couple of people told me after four or five years of using the peroxide they stopped. I ask why and both said they did not get sick, and they don't think it was working. You can make that judgement. One friend of ours goes to the doctor for pacemaker check ups and the doctor tells him the peroxide will not help him but it will not do him any harm. He is using his second pacemaker. He has told me several times; if it were not for his inhaling the peroxide he would not be here today.

"CLUE TO SPREAD OF CANCER DISCOVERED"
--------------------------------------

"Critical clues explaining why cancerous cells spread, uncovered by a biologist at Queen's University, may have important implications for future treatments, according to a leading international journal. The findings of Dr. Charles Graham and a team of researchers at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, published in the current issue of the International Journal of cancer,suggest a link between oxygen levels in cancerous tumors and the spread of the disease to other parts of the body.

"Our research shows that the low levels of oxygen in malignant tumors enhance the ability of the tumor cells to spread," said Dr. Graham. "So by manipulating oxygen levels within the tumor, we may be able to control the spreading of cancer to different parts of the body".

"We took breast cancer cells and put them under conditions of low oxygen and we saw the cells became more aggressive and invasive..."

"To spread, tumor cells must be able to break down and invade surrounding tissue barriers. Dr. Graham's research shows that hypoxia, or low oxygen levels, in the tumor mass plays an important role in stimulating the processes required for metastasis."

Earth Clinic Editor's Note

We just found this 2007 post from Ted on treating tumors in the hydrogen peroxide section on Earth Clinic and thought it should also be on our cancer remedies page, ergo this duplication. Very interesting.

4/2/2007: Ted from Bangkok writes, "No one uses 1% concentration for internal purposes either. So 3% is way beyond that. In the alternative health field, the maximum is actually 0.5% concentration. Actually and optimum H2O2 concentration was first determined in 1950s by Dr. Reginald Holman by implanting Walker 256 adenocarcinoma tumours. The drinking water for the rat used H2O2 optimum concentration needed to kill the tumors was about 0.45 percent.

Tumours completely disappeared in 15 to 60 days in rats.

Of course, a better way is to add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in the glass of 0.45% concentration of H2O2. This can be extended to treatment of almost any kinds of conditions, from viruses, bacteria, microbial infections, pneumonia, tuberculosis, flu, etc.

My own experience of using just baking soda (also increases the body's oxygen) and ascorbate vitamin C for about three weeks for a small tumor to go into remission.

A more effective I think in the future of peroxide therapy is to add baking soda to the 0.45% concentration to normal drinking water since baking soda is alkaline and increases oxygen, while the peroxide furthers this natural increase.

Well, you can make 3% H2O2 by putting 1 oz of 34% food grade H2O2 in a 12 oz bottle and adding 11 oz distilled water to that. To get .5% I would then take 1 oz of the 3% and add it to a bottle with 5oz of distilled water. That's the closest way I can think of. Hope this helps.

Two good movies about alternatives ways to treat cancers that big phama doesn't like.

-Rick Simpson • Medical Hemp • Run From The Cure
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imz16UhVixw

In the video above, "Run From the Cure - the Rick Simpson Story, " it's suggested that pharmaceutical companies and big business may be withholding a potential cancer cure -- hemp oil -- from the public in the interest of personal profit.

-Burzynski: Cancer Is Serious Business

http://vimeo.com/24821365

ABOUT THE FILM:

Burzynski, the Movie is the story of a medical doctor and Ph. D biochemist named Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski who won the largest, and possibly the most convoluted and intriguing legal battle against the Food & Drug Administration in American history.

His victorious battles with the United States government were centered around Dr. Burzynski's gene-targeted cancer medicines he discovered in the 1970's called Antineoplastons, which have currently completed Phase II FDA-supervised clinical trials in 2009 and could begin the final phase of FDA testing in 2011-barring the ability to raise the required $150 million to fund the final phase of FDA clinical trials.

When Antineoplastons are approved, it will mark the first time in history a single scientist, not a pharmaceutical company, will hold the exclusive patent and distribution rights on a paradigm-shifting medical breakthrough.

Antineoplastons are responsible for curing some of the most incurable forms of terminal cancer. Various cancer survivors are presented in the film who chose these medicines instead of surgery, chemotherapy or radiation - with full disclosure of medical records to support their diagnosis and recovery - as well as systematic (non-anecdotal) FDA-supervised clinical trial data comparing Antineoplastons to other available treatments—which is published within the peer-reviewed medical literature.

I haven't had the time to watch the movies yet but I read a book a while ago which was awfully interesting, called The Cancer Industry and which I think that I reviews on the book review page. It really puts things into a different prespective! It is an account of the many therapies that have been banned, including the use of Vit. C researched by twice Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling and how the cancer industry works. One can't help getting tears in one's eyes while reading that book while thinking about the suffering of loved ones (who hasn't lost someone to cancer! ) and the struggle of all those who wanted to contribute to diminish that suffering but instead ended up being persecuted in the name of money and big business! I often wonder how on earth things ever got to be this way, I really do! Only in a very evil planet.... Sorry! Or a planet with very evil people!

Hello

I just watched the Burzynski movie yesterday. I was going to post it here as well. I was very very impressed by this movie. I think everybody should watch it. People will better understand the politics happening in the world of farmaceuticals. It could also be of help to those who suffer from cancer.

One thing that wasn't too clear for me was how he could get a PhD degree in 1 year, straight out of medical school. That sounds a bit fishy to me.

I put forward Andrew Weil's view on Burzynski to caution those with the belief that he has a cure.. Yes has helped some it seems but those are the voices that we are hearing... There are many...

According to the movie - Doctor Burzynski has a cure rate of about 25% on INCURABLE brain cancers. Traditional treatment cure rate is about 1%.

He is not saying he can cure ALL cancer. His treatment has no side effects... where as chemo and radiation have massive and horrid side effects. I see no harm in allowing people to make their own choices on the treatment they would prefer.

Have you watched the Burzynski movie?

It is shocking that in this country the government spent 60 MILLION of our taxpayer dollars trying to shut this wonderful, and NOBLE man down. It makes my skin crawl.

The fact that they could not find any of Burzynski's patients that would file any complaints agains him speaks to his character and his practise. On the contrary - his patients showed up to support him at grand jury after grand jury - from all parts of the country, as they owed their lives to his treatment.

In my opinion ~ The FDA and the NCI should be criminally prosecuted for their actions.... what they did was and still is undeniably CRIMINAL.

Please, watch the movie (if you haven't yet - which I am assuming you have not by your statements) before you say more on the matter of Burzynski.

It will be free to watch here until midnight of June 20th:

http://www.burzynskimovie.com/

Just imagine how far research on a cure for ALL CANCERS could have been by now if the FDA had not spent so much time (and money) trying to shut down Dr. Burzynski, and if they had embraced and supported him instead.

I can come to only one conclusion - Our government does NOT want to find a cure for cancer. There is too much money in NOT finding a cure. (MO)

Rob, this is the kind of article that makes me very angry! The talk about research, scientifically proved, etc, etc is just government propaganda and I have had enough of that, thank you! Please read the book "The Cancer Industry". There you will find a chapter about Dr. Burzynski but also chapters about all kinds of banned and discredited methods and the reasons why. Dr. Ralph Moss, the author, explains in a very clear manner how the Cancer Industry works and how easily they discredit anyone who could possibly have a method if not to cure at least to help cancer patients. After all don't forget that even Linus Pauling, one of the biggest scientists all times was discredit! Some of the people who made big discoveries which could have greatly advanced the fight against cancer died in asylums after losing their minds, others died of heart attacks. Why? Because of their fight against the establishment! We should honor them and not go on supporting disgraceful propaganda! If you want to live that way that is your choice but maybe not the choice of the majority on this site (at least I hope not! ). We have to open our eyes and stop heading sleepwalking to the slaughter house! Get informed and I am sure that you will understand where the truth lies!

Very well said, Carly, I couldn't agree more!!!!! Dr. Burzynski and all the others, there have been great people totally committed towards helping all those who suffer with cancer but as you said..... Governments (not only yours, unfortunately, don't forget that the world is globalized... ) don't want the cure to be found, just as they don't want us to know that what they preach will only make us sicker and sicker. That is the way things are! It all makes me furious as well and I weep for those who have died and who suffer from cancer as I weep for their loved ones! I lost two of my grandparents and my mother to cancer as well as my mother-in-law and I saw my sister-in-law suffer from it (luckily that was many years ago and although she had two different kinds she is ok). When will things change?

Very well said right back at you Francisca! :)

I agree ~ Dr. Pauling was a brilliant, brilliant man, and he was persecuted relentlessly as well.

The big pharma companies have too vested of an interest in keeping their patented cancer "therapies" (ha! ) up and running. If (God forbid! ) someone actually came up with anything resembling a cure - well, they would lose BILLIONS per year. Oh there is no humanity. These people will (I hope) have some price to pay, be it Karma, Hell, or whatever Diety is out there that makes the world go round.

But I digress, I am rambling... Sorry. ;)

It takes a special type of person to keep on perservering when all is against them for so many years. Dr. Burzynski went through so much. It is amazing he made it to the other side without having a stroke or a heart attack from the stress he was placed under for so very long. Talk about mental duress!

I will look for "The Cancer Industry" the next time I shop books online. It sounds very interesting.

Carly thanks for the information... So, with this particular type of brain cancer, Childhood Glioma, with a 1% conventional success rate... Burzynski might be worth a look into with his claimed.. 27%... (27% is not a cure, it is a success rate). Francisca... A little dissent is not complete dissent, I am getting the impression you would like to burn me at the stake and claim your curing my toe fungus... I respect Weil, not everything he says is written in stone, he is somewhat conservative in the alternative field and needs to be with such a following, and admits to error and often revises what he says in the face of new information. That quote he made back in 2006 perhaps he might revise it with new information. In the future we will most likely look back at chemo as barbaric though it has helped many and many it has failed..

Hi Rob. I didn't know anyone wanted to burn you at the stake! Oh my - ;-)

Re the childhood glioma - If the cancer is gone for 5 years, I do believe that is in fact considered a "cure" rate.

Children who develop this particularily nasty type of cancer and receive the standard treatment are usually dead within 24 months as I understand it. ~Unless~ they are that lucky 1% and get to spend the rest of their lives deaf, with burned off ears and hair that will never gow back along stunted growth. Mind you, that wouldn't probably feel very lucky, and their quality of life would suck, but hey - they made the one percent!

I know that if it were my child, I would jump at the chance of a 27% cure rate with Dr. Burzynski over the standard protocol of chemo which disfigures, deafens, and basically tortures a child with this dreaded and deadly cancer for a 1% (actually I believe it was a little less than one percent, but why split hairs) success rate.

Chemo and radiation are therapies honed and developed back in the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's.... And they ARE barbaric in my opinion. By this time, there SHOULD have been something better to offer.

They make LOTS of $$$$$$$ though.

I wouldn't burn you at the stake.... I am not the violent kind! I was even planing to read a few books by Weil but right now I think that I will pass!

Anyway, as far as revising opinions, I believe that even Linus Pauling would have revised a few if he had lived a few more years! We have a certain opinion at a certain time which doesn't mean that we would have evolved in a very different way later on! To me, even a therapy which only cures a few percent of the people and maybe gives a better life to quite a few is worth trying because any lives saved with good quality of life are worth it, especially if it is a therapy with little or no side effects and there is nothing else available! The problem is that many of this therapies were never developed any further for lack of support and founds. Who knows where they would be right now if intead of having to fight heavy opposition the people concerned had got all the support they deserved? Think about that!

Well said, Carly! But you know, it is events like Dr. Burzinsky went through that make the distinction between the great on earth and the worthless! And like you I also believe that either in this life or in the other one the people who do wrong will get their pay! Too bad that so many innocent people have to pay with their lives, so many children grow up without parents, so many people have to go through the pain of losing one or more loved ones, so many people have to go through the scare of being diagnosed with an illness like cancer!

Yes, do look for The Cancer Industry and let me know what you think. Because it was very expensive here in the European Amazons I had a friend bring it from the US where the price was very good! I am waiting for my husband to have the time to read it. As a scientist I think that he will very much enjoy to read the short biographies contained in the book! Another book I want to read is the one about Royal Rife and his method to cure cancer but I can't read all at the same time....

so getting back to the Burzynski movie... I've watched a good part and don't dispute what is shown but question it on what isn't shown.... Why don't they interview the 73% whom it didn't work for... But how could they because they're dead.. With around 30 to $60, 000 less to pass on to their loved ones.... The video is not objective but a slanted infomercial... Thus, I wouldn't put Burzy on a pedestal with the cure for cancer, however that said, I wouldn't rule him out, especially if I or someone has a terminal cancer for which his success rate might prove more successful than conventional approach... Though it would take more information than a sell video like this for me to make up my mind.... To this I add, Francisa what is your point? are you recommending everyone with cancer go visit Burzy and spend the $50 grand without question?

Hi Francisca -

I just ordered "The Cancer Industry" on Half (dot) com for under $ 8.99 delivered! It was $59.00 on Amazon and I would have had to pay sales tax. Wow! Very excited!

It will be shipped from the other side of the country via a thing we call "Media Mail" at book rate... (ie = CHEAP) so I don't expect it will be here for at least 10 days, maybe even longer.

I can't wait to read it - the synopsis looks very interesting. Thanks for the information on it. After I read it I will be sure to put in my. 02 cents! :-) Carly

Rob -

You say you have watched "a good part" of the Burzynski movie. Until you have watched the enire movie, there is no way you can have all of the information necessary to comment in an informed manner. (As your post shows to be true).

If I am reading what you are saying correctly, you are saying that if you had a child with a glioma brain cancer you would tell that child - sorry, your life is not worth 60k?

I would take a chance at the 25% Burzynski protocol offers over the 1% that the FDA meds give in a heartbeat. No hesitation.

Yes, I agree - a 25% CURE rate - 5 years cancer free - does mean that 75% would either be still alive with cancer or dead. This is simple math. Just as a 1% cure rate means that 99% would either still be alive with cancer or dead. It is silly to suggest that the Burzynski movie talk to dead people. They make no bones on what their numbers are at his clinic. His numbers are FAR superior to the standard protocol of chemo and radiations. You can't dispute the numbers.

Also - if the clinical trials for Dr. Burzynski were not sabotaged by the NCI perhaps by this time his protocols WOULD be standard practice and WOULD be covered by insurance.

The doctor HAS to charge for the medicine he is manufacturing. He is not running a free clinic - he would not be able to help anyone if he couldn't produce the medicine. You keep attempting to make it sound like he is a scam artist out to bilk people out of their money. This is simply incorrect.

I do, and will continue to put Doctor Burzynski up on a pedestal - a very, very high one. He is an amazing, brilliant scientist, who at great peril to his own well being continued to help people even when being mercelissly prosicuted by our government. That man is a saint in my opinion.

My hope is that you will watch the entire movie before you attempt to dispute anything I have just said. ~ Carly

Carly, .. Perhaps you could point out where I said a childs life is not worth 60k.... ?? You, make a good point about the need to cover costs... Still there is concern for those that have lost both their life and life savings and whether they have been taken advantage of in a desperate time. I repeat, that his therapy is worth looking into especially if the trials show a better success rate over conventional therapies... I may not share your enthusiasm but I am not in opposition either... Yes, I watched it all the way through... Compelling, yes, but made by a long time advertising director who knows how to make his emotional point, & as a documentary it is incomplete... I would have liked to have seen people from the FDA or NCI interviewed to get their opposing point... Also a few interviews from families whom it didn't work for, as well as some critics.... Aside from this the basic numbers are compelling. Most important.. Even at 15% over 0% (see Dr. Oz interview attached) it is reason enough for it to be supported and further researched..

Carly, Francisca.. I would like to add that you are right about Weil, that he's wrong on this one... If the numbers are correct and this seems to be the case Dr's should be advising their patients that his therapy is their best hope for these particular cancers... Especially if they are non toxic.. thus I apologize for my skeptecism...

Rob!!!!!

You gave up too easily. Francisca and I were not done with you yet. ;-) Thanks, and it is nice to see that you are an open minded individual. That is awesome, and I really appreciate your writing back.

Peace, and until we argue again, (ha ha)

Carly :-)

Yes, good for you Rob for being willing to keep an open mind. Personally, I stopped reading Dr. Weil quite awhile back because I found that he tended to sit on the fence on a lot of issues not wanting to rock his very big following in the "mainstream" audience. I prefer Dr. Mercola who will go right to the point and also Deepak Chopra. Dr. Mark Hyman is another who really goes to the heart of the matter on major issues that seem to plague many but there appears to be no answers for them by the medical field other than drugs to cover them up. Still, I understand that Dr. Weil serves a purpose- those deeply steeped in the mainstream medical world will listen to what he has to say thereby, allowing another point of view for them to consider.

Thanks Lisa, I undestand your position on Weil. His advice is mostly backed by clinical trials and epidemiology which is quite sound but leaves out cutting edge science like in the case of Burzynski and many others for whom testing is out of reach. That said, he still encourages mind body medicine which is difficult to measure. So Carly, he has come down from my pedestal a couple notches and Burzynski has gained a few...:)
