Not sure. Never hit it.
is this relevant as a treatment option? i would assume there is evidence and sources you could cite about this because you mentioned it? i mean, i'm assuming the things you're saying are backed by scientific evidence due to your taking of that view.
Yeah, THC has some anticancer attributes. Now, this won't cure your cancer, but it sure doesn't hurt. However, if consuming a psychoactive drug intrudes upon your therapy, it's not a smart idea. But, since Gamefandan lives in California, he could easily get a medical marijuana card if he wanted to use it to his benefit.
best way i'm doing it is being lucky enough to see carriage returns and line breaks on the end of your responses
I don't understand, how do you "see" a carriage return? \r\n doesn't show visually besides the whole new line thing, which for some reason doesn't happen in the reply box, at least on Chrome.
just wondered what you thought about it. also, i read somewhere that you can't take more than a certain amount of vitamin C orally. so yeah. not to mention the drama surrounding Linux Pauling, the guy who dreamt the treatment up.
Well, since vitamin C is a weak acid, I'm not 100% positive that injecting it into your vein is a good idea.
it also worked for my mother, but i haven't brought her up because she's not interested in merging eastern and western medicine. she's spent a long portion of her life not using western medicine if she could avoid it, and instead going with oriental medicine, acupuncture primarily, herbs and 'moxa' which is basically heating certain points on the body with a herbal thing to cause changes.
she says that during her pregnancy with me, i went breach and she treated that with moxa and acupuncture. i allegedly corrected myself in three days and she did not have to go through a cescarian birth. she also says she used acupuncture for pain management during the birth and allegedly felt no pain. i'm taking that second point with a grain of salt, but for the purposes of this discussion we could consider it another testimonial.
I'm in no place to insult your mother, but that is pretty much exactly what I don't want people to do.
yes, and they are presumably safe. my point is that enough funding has not gone into the alternative treatments to get them approved by the FDA, therefore they are considered not safe.
The FDA doesn't handle herbal medicine either, it's pretty much regarded as hippie stuff by the government too.
first) i'm not really sure this is true
second) beyond the placebo effect, which, i might like to add, some treatments cause a greater result in this fashion than other treatments. also, as i said above, while there are studies showing it isn't effective, said studies are few and far between, likely due to the reasons i've been saying about how alt. medicine sends less money in the direction of the people who test and perscribe it.
third) these people are dumb, unless it works for them, such as my mother.
1) Think about it for a minute, treatments work because they have some kind of active ingredient. Active ingredients tend to clash with each other, regardless of synthetic or natural origin.
2) Well, the thing is, we're moving away from alt. medicine. There's a reason. It's been deemed ineffective, or at least significantly less effective than western medicine. This movement started a good while ago, that's why they've diverged into two categories, but it is undeniable that modern medicine sprung from herbal medicine.
3) Maybe your mother wouldn't have these problems in the first place if she just stuck with western medicine.
my mother was advised repeatedly to get a hysterectomy to remove fibroids from her body. she didn't go through with it, instead opting for alternative medicine. according to her, the radiologists and various other doctors were baffled when, a month (not sure on this detail) later, the fibroids in question had shrunk.
After some quick research, it appears uterine fibroids can shrink with reduction in estrogen levels. If there's some herb out there that lowers estrogen levels, then yeah, it'd work. Her doctors sound like handicaps, or she exaggerated her story and the doctors were merely surprised that such good remission occurred.
i've heard and seen the testimonials first and second and third hand myself, it does work. i'm not personally advocating diving in and trying it without a backup plan, but why not try it? again, what have you got to lose?
Your life.
For everyone being a richardwad and complaining about our discussion of herbal medicine, we're not stuffting on the topic. We're discussing Gamefandan's treatment options. Just because we're not saying 'get well' doesn't mean that our posts are
cancerous to the topic. And read our posts, we're not talking about nuclear reactor physics that you'll never hear about again (though Lugnut, if you have an opinion on that I'd enjoy having that discussion too) we're talking about herbal remedies and medicines, something that you should be educated on should any of you become ill and have a choice between the two.
no one cares that your having fun, it's filling the thread with irrelevant bullstuff no one wants to see
This is the kind of stuff I was referring to. It's not irrelevant. You calling it irrelevant is irrelevant to the topic. Get the forget out.
What about that New treatment option where they take some of your cells and genetically modify them to fight off cancer cells obviously they inject the cells back into you to get it working, also before you say that what I'm saying is fake, look it up, I even saw it on TV.
I heard it really damn expensive but I think its worth loosing all your money instead of loosing all your hair and being weak for the rest of your life.
Nah, I think you're talking about
this. I'm not sure how effective it is, I just read an article or two about it.
