    Possible solution. It should be explored.

    The often expressed mantra of deregulation in healthcare has been explored since 1973.

    We are living in the unintended consequences of that legislation since.

    It’s certainly a complex issue.

    All i can say is that I only go off the research. The published research shows that eating apricot seeds does not do anything good and may be in fact be detrimental to your health.

    However what an individual believes or does or does not do is their problem.

    Go off the most reputable research. Trial and error can be costly in cancer care and even deadly.

    Always remember the story of Steve Jobs. He died at 52 in part because he refused conventional care. Pancreatic cancer is often untreatable so we don't know what may have happened in case he did undergo chemotherapy. But the odds may have been in his favor.

    Then your best bet is the immunothepary which kind of recreate the cells that are healthy and defeat the cancer via own fighting mechanism. Costs a hefty $100K to 300K easy.

    Herbals can prolong the fight, although may not cure and good part with herbals is they can "mostly" go side by side to regular medication. Many a times in cancer, patient dies from the complications created by the treatment.

    Common sense says a) do not let cancer spread b) re-enforce the immune system to put up a stronger fight.

    Btw, there is another herbal alternative called TianXian from China. It can go side by side to regular medicine and is very good for the immune system power. Beware, like Gucci bags, there are lots of fake TianXians out there. Better do you research before buying.

    AIDS started in mid 80s and by mid 90s medications were found which could prolong the life of patient by 15-20 years while living mostly normal.

    However, cancer has been around for 50+ years and cure not found yet. It smells a little cabalist conspiracy where trillions are made each year from cancer treatment alone.

    Link on immunotherapy costs.

    Then again you can seek immunotherapy in places like India, Brazil or China for 1/4th the cost including medicine.

    Only problem is the clinics and hospitals are not FDA approved ;-)

    @toc Thank you for the information. I'll look into it. Keytruda is the latest in immunotherapy for colon cancer patients but it is a last ditch effort aimed at treating stage IV cancer. You're correct in that's exorbitantly priced but it is half the cost in Europe. I'll keep it in mind for the future if it is necessary.
    If I could find a JHACO certified hospital in a BRIC country, I would consider it. The cost reduction is significant.
    I'm really thankful that TRT and some other herbals have kept the worst of the side effects at bay. I never had to sit out a cycle of treatment due to low red cell or white cell counts. TRT in my mind is an excellent adjunct to FOLFOX, for male patients of course.
    Happy Holidays toc!

    Was just looking up and Keytruda in India costs $2900 for 100mg. Infact, here is a link to those who can hook you up with specialists in medicine http://www.vaidam.com/cost. Check out other BRIC nations too. China has become a no-nonsense in medical field also.
