I have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had a hystorectomy May 9.
Have chosen alternative therapy instead of chemo but would like to know if
there are any qualified alternative clinics in the country as there are in
Europe and Switzerland. Anything near North west Florida? I am doing this
on my own but sure could use some help.

| Once upon a time there was a naturopath (he has written a few books so
you would recognize his name). One day the naturopath found out his wife
had cancer. What to do? Being a man of science, he explored *all*
treatments. This was his wife after all and he wanted *proof* that the
treatments worked. This was easy with the more traditional treatments
for her disease since he had only to read the results in medical
journals and talk with a few specialists. But when it came to evaluating
the so called alternative treatments in Mexican clinics, there were no
journal studies. |

One difference between standard oncology and the many quacks that

without the bull..., when a cancer is incurable, and when treatment
might have value in terms of prolongation of life or quality of life.
The variety of regimens practiced in Mexico range from 5-FU (a standard
drug for adenoca) plus laetril to very aggressive (and in my opinion,
bizarre) regimens with coffee enemas (to clean the syst. |
| Nearly seven in ten cancer patients in the U.S. have used complementary or
alternative medicine, most often in combination with conventional
therapies. Surveys across 13 countries indicate that complementary and
alternative treatments are used by 7 to 64 percent of all cancer patients.
Reports of extraordinary survival ascribed to such therapies have long
been made, but full and formal medical documentation of these results is
too often lacking. |
| This book is must reading for all cancer patients and their families. It is
exhaustively researched and meticulously referenced. In addition, it is
beautifully written, much like an adventure story. Be forewarned that the book
is also extremely disturbing. It tells the story of how alternative therapies
for cancer, labeled unorthodox during the last century, were systematically
suppressed by the American Medical Association and federal government agencies
charged with protecting the public health. As it turns out, Harry Hoxsey who
treated cancer patients with an herbal tonic and diet beginning in the 1920s,
was one of a number of people who were investigating unorthodox treatments.
Most of these treatments were nontoxic plant and herb-based formulas and also
emphasized good diet and nutrition. Like Hoxsey who was finally forced to close
his cancer clinics in 1960, all of these other doctors and scientists suffered
similar persecution without valid scientific investigation into their
