Re: cancer alternative sabotaged by FDA

You need to take QuackWatch with a grain of salt. They do present some truths regarding real quackery, but their presentations are badly one-sided. They present heinous cases of quackery outside the establishement, but they never mention the quackery that occurs within the establishment. They never raise the question of onc's using chemo as a placebo when they know statistically it won't do anything. They never present the truth of the troubling survival statistics for chemo patients. And they never back up and admit that they were wrong. For instance, they have repeated the mantra "there is no evidence that diet can affect the outcome for a cancer patient". There has been a study recently that proved that it can. Has QuackWatch posted an appology or even updated their now outdated "science"

If a patient is terminal and given chemo when there is no statistical evidence that the chemo offers any hope, I call that quackery. Just because it has the stamp of approval from "science" does not make it any less so.
