It's a reasonable minimum requirement. ND Crispin,

I have recently cured myself of 2 types of cancer using this treatment. I am living proof it works. The man who wrote this article is not only completely ignorant of the truth, he is happy to murder people with pure stupidity.

After reading most of the posts, I just wanted to tell you all what had happened to me after I was pressured into going the conventional route for my breast cancer. I had a lumpectomy and proceeded to be treated with chemo called Texatore and Cytoxon. My first treatment seemed to go well until I got the Nupogen shot for the white cell count. I broke out in a rash all over my body. So, they gave me anithistimines. Then I had my second treatment. After the Nupogen shot this time I had a severe reaction and almost died! The oncoligists says to me "we can try another chemo, but we don't know if we'll kill you." So,I chose not to do any further conventional treatments . Since then, I am pursuing alternatives.(Something I wanted to do in the first place). So tell me how the medical establishments are not poisoning people. I think I'll take my chances with God, and alternatives, and live a more comfortable life doing it. I noticed the last post to this website was August 2009.

If it goes through this discussion will be moot as it will label this a toxin and take it off the shelves. As good a reason as any to make me believe that there are benefits from these seeds. I'm going to try some and see what happens. And if it's a good thing then I'll be stocking up for when all the beneficial vitamins, minerals and foods are taken away from us.

When we researched what the side effects of these "traditional" therapies would do to your body (some permanent) and learned that the best of these -- for his type of cancer -- would MAYBE give him 5% (that's right, only 5 out of every 100) have an improved overall survival rate of 5 years.... there is no "cure" and you are on your own to find what is best for yourself or your loved one. We have (after MUCH research) opted to take the apricot seeds (he takes 40 a day ((10 at each meal 4xday...as a treatment and has had no side effects if he takes them with a meal....I take 8 a day ((2 at each mealx4)) as a preventive. We also take IP6 (inositol hexaphosphate) also a natural product (from rice)....no side effects and also lots of research as a cancer killer....he takes 12 a day on an empty stomach 6in AM, 4 B4 lunch, 4 before bed. I have done one a day and that has cured (after taking it for about 8 months prior) a herpes virus I thought I would never see gone....I was only taking it as a cancer prevention....I've now been outbreak free for almost one year.... We also take our vitamins....including D3 and are open to trying to find a clinical trial, but only one that will not hurt more than it helps. We feel that doctors are great at some things, especially surgeries, but that they are truly in the dark ages when trying to fight cancer. After talking to many different doctors at many different TOP HOSPITALS in the US, we feel that they COMPLETELY are against any kind of alternative medicines....in our research we've discovered very upsetting connections between the pharmaceutical companies, health care insurance companies, medical schools, the AMA, FDA, and many, many more political and petroleum based interests than you would probably believe. Ever wonder WHY these alternative treatments do not have properly conducted clinical trials? Who do you think pays for them.....you got it, the pharmaceuticals.

We are the only developed nation IN THE WORLD who does NOT have a National Health Care System.....hmmmmm. In closing, I can only say be wary and do your own research & save it....many sites "disappear" and even some of my postings have been "deleted" when I mentioned institutions by name.
