Re: Americans believe unsubstantiated claims about cancer

that's the way life is.  you would need to know the history of the dr to understand.  it is a regular cancer hospital and they have world-reknowned treatments from all over the world.  but, the hospital sells space to the jewett's who were friends with alivizatos and carry on his legend.  if not for the Jewetts, the treatment would not be available.  it is not available anywhere else in the world.  the treatment is word of mouth only.  but they have treated thousands since 1983 (the dr treated many more before that, but in Greece, my uncle was one of them).  he had a 99% cure rate, but IBC only has a 80 to 85%, due in part to people waiting 'til the last minute and undergoing chemo and radiation, which can hamper treatment and due in part to, well, the dr is not around anymore and they vary the treatment a little (although they claim it is exactly the same).  for one, they don't use a needle like he did, a drip instead.  i don't care what people believe, that is where i am going if i have cancer, and the whole staff says that is the one they would do first, and that is good enough for me.
