Bruce u Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 A friend of mine has small cell L/C and also bone mets. He has done research online and came across a site in Calgary, Alberta. A Naturalpath claims he has a 75% success rate if the patient hasn't had radiation or chemo. This drops to 21% if the patient has had radiation or chemo. Does any members here have a comment on this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyW Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Numbers wise I have nothing Bruce but Practiaclly speaking it could be because there are no drugs or Chemicals in Blood system to affect Naturopathic treatment. Since body is "Clean" the success may be higher than if "Contaminated" If your friend goes this route please make sure they completely research and think this out before starting anything. Could be devastating if a person starts and then runs out any possible time. I do wish them the best if they go this route. I do know in the states there are trials for CAM or Complimentary Alternative Medicines being conducted!! Once again prayers and thoughts and BEst wishes which either way your friend decides to go with treatment and If I CAN help just PM me!!

Patti B Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Bruce- So sorry to hear about your friends diagnosis. I wish him well. I agree with Randy, PLEASE have him check this out completely. You know the old saying, if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Have you though about asking Dr. West about it?? Hugs - Patti B.

Ry Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Bruce- Whenever a new person comes here that has SCLC-- I always direct them to the sticky post in the small cell forum titled something like "how I beat small cell lung cancer"-- lots of good information. Copy it and send it on to him. Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
