"...the simple cure for cancer."
To anyone who understands even a small amount about cancer, that should set the alarm-bells ringing. Cancer is not one disease, but many, and the very idea that there is one cause ("a fungus", for goodness' sake) and one cure is laughable. We know that genetics, the environment, life-styles and even age are involved and that sometimes a small trigger is all that differentiates a cancer victim from someone who remains cancer-free.
What about these so-called cancer experts cited by the OP?
There is little to recommend Dr Tullio Simoncini. He claims cancer is the result of an overgrowth of candida albicans (a fungus that infects oral and vaginal tissues) and prescribes sodium bicarbonate injections. I can find no evidence that a terminal cancer patient from years ago is still alive after this treatment, as the OP claims. Simoncini’s work has never been subjected to clinical trials and the fact that a patient died after being treated in this way is unsurprising; he was convicted of manslaughter in 2006. tinyurl.com/79flko
G. Edward Griffin has no medical qualifications, but that does not prevent him from promoting various conspiracy theories, including those concerning the political and healthcare systems. He does not believe HIV causes AIDS and he promotes the view that cancer is caused by a nutritional deficiency, curable by the consumption of amygdalin, a poisonous substance found in certain fruit. While chemotherapy also involves the administration of potentially poisonous substances, in balance the effect on the body is positive, in that the cancer cells are damaged more than healthy ones, or that in the long run, the healthy cells will recover. Amygdalin, administered as laetrile, has been shown to have no effect on cancer. tinyurl.com/aacdak8
As for "Dr" Leonard Coldwell (aka Bernd Klein/Bernd Witchner) - his qualification is a dubious PhD and he has no medical qualifications whatsoever. His main claim to recent fame is his bizarre assertion that Angelina Jolie's double mastectomy amounts to "potentially making millions by mutilating herself". http://tinyurl.com/kvqfvpq
What disturbs me is that cancer sufferers and their families and friends are often so vulnerable emotionally, particularly if the prognosis is poor, that they will grasp at anything that offers hope. After many years working as a healthcare professional (note - I am not qualified as a doctor) in a hospice, I am convinced that so-called conventional therapies are the only way to go. Treatments are improving all the time; long ago (in the 1970s) we passed the milestone that statistically, most cancers that are diagnosed and treated by mainstream medicine are “cured” – in the sense that they do not return within five years or more. However, as I said before, cancer is not one disease, and some cancers remain very difficult to treat, but I would never, ever, suggest a cancer-sufferer should abandon conventional treatment for any “alternative” therapy.
Apologies for the very long post, but I found the misinformation in the original post disturbing because I know how some people might react to it.
