If your mother goes back into Chemo, and is lucky enough to live in a Medical Marijuana State, I would strongly recommend she use it for Nausea control and to enhance her appetite. It is much safer than other pharmaceuticals for those problems.

Unfortunately there have been no US scientific studies on this due to the fact it is a schedule 1 drug. Since congress classified it as a schedule 1 drug, getting permission to run scientific studies using marijuana is virtually impossible.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('kublikhan', 'I') assume you pointed them at articles explaining this is a scam and they still rejected your view? If the treatment is not overly expensive, I would not worry about it too much. Even if it does not purge toxins, it sounds like it is buying them some peace of mind. Yes, it's sorry to see ignorance embraced, but it they are pigheaded about it there is not much you can do about it. At least they are maintaining a positive attitude, which can be vitally important in recovery. I would probably just let the issue lie, you don't want your parents thinking of you as a downer. Instead, offer some advice that you think might actually help.

A good friend of mine survived several years with inoperable breast and liver cancer by going to a German clinic where they offered a custom immunotherapy. Each treatment session lasted several weeks and was grueling, but they kept her going and in reasonable health. Cost about $30,000 a session. Eventually she skipped as a session because her mother died, her tumors seemed to be gone, and she had exhausted all the money from the sale of her house. She relapsed and was dead in six months.

The backstory on this therapy was that originally it got as far as clinical trials, but it had killed a couple people due to unpredictable immune reactions, so they ended up in Germany. They were gathering days for more clinical trials.

Another friend's dad went to German for a much shadier cancer therapy based on heating the blood or something. He said he felt better for about 3 weeks. No doubt it was also expensive. He died a couple months later.

My friend had unusually good luck with her treatments. Was it worth it? I wouldn't go that route. They'd find me in the bathtub wearing a party hat with a pitcher of pina coladas and a hibachi that had filled the room with carbon monoxide, Japanese style.

Do you know who doesn't take cancer therapy? Doctors. More than any other group, doctors with a diagnosis of terminal cancer refuse treatment and go home to put their affairs in order.

My advice to anyone who is ill: see a specialist who has been trained in conventional medicine. Seeing anyone else is a complete waste of time and money.

There are people who have a good prognosis if they get chemo, and some cancers are relatively curable. But if a tumor is metastatic and does not respond well to chemo, personally I'd hesitate to draw things out for another 2 years. And there are also people that die needlessly because they put their faith in some new age treatment instead of chemo.

I do know a couple people that have overcome cancer with conventional therapy. I also knew two people with leukemia - one died and one recovered, but the one that recovered was saved by a long-shot bone marrow transplant after a couple years of chemo failed. He wasn't going to recover on his own, but it wasn't chemo that saved him either.

So my one real vice over the past year's been coffee. First time I've ever been addicted to it in my life and I knew after I was hooked, how horrible this drug was. Took a lot of energy out of me, despite eating healthy. First time I tried to quit, the headaches were too much, similar to what I felt when I tried cold turkey as a smoker in my early 20's.

I realized I had no choice to quit coffee because it would certainly depress me severely and unrelentingly as it has for most Americans. God knows how much cancer caffeine promotes too because it's used in so many drink products now.

I invested in an expensive all stainless steel low-rpm 'masticating' juicer, and been doing almost daily raw juices of cucumber and kale with small amounts of apple and lemon. After four days from starting my juices I was able to quit coffee cold turkey with nearly imperceptible headaches. In fact, I kept telling myself there's no way it could be this easy. I still think it's impossible.

So I've been off coffee now, no vices, my energy's back. I feel refreshed with only six hours of sleep a night now, and every few days I'll wake up after only three hours and feel no need to go back to sleep. I play an extremely intensive team sport, after about two to three hours of play most everyone else on the court will be totally spent, calling it a day, while I try to coax others, years younger than me, to continue. I could play for four hours easy.

For prevention and cure of cancer, RAW food/juices is the way to go!

Regarding the juicing, a one pint serving contains two cucumbers, one whole bunch of kale, half an apple and half a lemon. I don't know about you but there's no way I could enjoy eating one whole bunch of kale daily raw or cooked unless we're talking about kale chips, but the labor and time involved in making them is a non-starter for me. Plus these juices are delicious, quick and easy to make.
