Page 27#4. The One Approach Myth
One of the absurd follies of conventional medicine is that there is only one
“proper” treatment (the one they make lotsa money on, of course!)
Common sense says you would do several things at once. Gamblers call this
“mini-max”; it’s something I talk about a lot in my writings. You do what you can
in order to minimize the negative and whatever you can to maximize the chances
of a positive.
It’s not about drawing a royal flush every time. It’s about the fact that if you win
51% of the time, consistently, you’ll eventually break the house!
Gamblers are not fools; they do this because they know it works. It can work for
you too. If you tip the odds even slightly in your favor, eventually you will repel
the cancer.
Yet time and again the oncologist will say “Don’t take vitamins” (without testing
if you are deficient), “Stress isn’t the cause of cancer” (it’s the #1 cause), “Diet
is irrelevant, eat what you like” (they would probably say that to anyone with
any condition because they don’t understand that all disease stems from faulty
nutrition, one way or another).
They also argue venomously against taking any kind of alternative remedy.
This is so bad you must suspect in some cases it’s because they don’t want
the patient to get well, it cuts their revenues. Of course, not all doctors are
motivated by greed; but vanity and fear comes into it. They are frightened of the
possibility that their cutting, burning and poisoning may turn out to be the wrong
strategy. It will show them up as dangerous and incompetent (statistics already
do that).
You can take it from me (or any source of common sense), that adding several
healing modalities will all help you overcome your cancer. By that I mean both
the possibility of increased survival and also a great improvement in the quality
of your time with us.
I never argue with patients that they should not opt for chemo or radiation. It’s
their own choice. But later I’ll talk about ways to use alternative modalities to
block the dreadful toxic effects of chemo. This big improvement in quality of life
is a very important contribution to real health care and should not be overlooked
or denied.
