Alchemist.
I assume you had Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (given your description) and that you were treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation at the Peter McCallum Cancer Institute and you have survived this cureable disease as many others have. This is the only form of lung cancer where surgery is used.

If you had not had treatment you would be dead. No matter what you think about other ways of "healing". Your views about refusing medical treatment are dangerous and I will continue to vehemently oppose your views.

You did not cure yourself your Doctor's did, you are a charlatan and I despise you and your kind.

I have chemotherapy on a regular basis and it is palliative my disease always comes back. I understand the feelings you describe but would never go home to die.

I am so angry I will end this post. You are full of Sh*t. Your dangerous views make me want to vomit more than chemotherapy.

Hi Chris, it is indeed me. Thanks so much for your comments on my being an outstanding person...*s*. I'm not sure what drives me in this passionate quest to get this information to the masses but darn it...somebodies a gotta do it...lol.
I do agree with a lot of what you are saying Alchemist but I'm not at all convinced that the LDN will destroy my liver. Chris mentioned that we take it at 10 times less the FDA approved dose of 50mg but the studies that were conducted and showed some liver issues was done at 300mg...now I ask you...is there anything out there that would not hurt the liver if administered at such a high dose...I think not. Alchemist, I know exactly what you are saying about those expensive treatments that are touted and really don't work. Money is what spurs many unsavory things in life. Please do not discount this very life affirming new discovery as it might very well help many people that you know. You see, it regulates the immune system and there are many very intelligent people that are taking it just as a precautionary thing to ward off cancers and such that run in their families. I am very much in agreement with you on the whole issue about our lifestyles and the choices that we make with regards to things like microwave ovens, plastics, teflon, antibiotics. These are all things that were not around years ago and the use of them these days, I'm afraid, is contributing to the many many new cases of cancers and other diseases.....con't

I guess I have become long winded in my old age...lol. con't from previous post...
Steve, I'm not exactly sure where your anger is coming from. It is pretty clear that Alchemist has taken control of his life and has made some changes that have benefited him greatly and I applaud that. I don't discount the great reversal of disease that can happen when we take better care with the things we eat...etc. Our bodies are like machines that are regulated by a good immune system. When we start throwing things in the mix that the immune system just can't handle, that is where disease happens. It can be reversed by dietary things but the beauty of the LDN is in the immune system regulation. I happen to be very happy that the very thing that has allowed me back in the game of life is also something that could very well prevent cancer in the future.
I am very very thankful for these avenues of discussion because this is how we all learn and I welcome any other responses.
Oh and I think everyone should check out Chris's site www.casehealth.com. The way to know when things really work is to hear about them from the actual patients that use these therapies. The same goes for www.remedyfind.com where LDN is reported as the #1 treatment for MS by the patients themselves.

I need to explain my anger at The Alchemist. He has stated that he was given a death sentence when diagnosed with Lung Cancer. This scaremongering is just not true, his oncologist was wrong to tell him he had 18 months to live and he was wrong to believe it.

Alchemist then proceeds to state that people should not take drugs for their medical conditions but to follow his method, if they haven’t the guts to follow he states “most didn't have the guts or strength to take that responsibility themselves, and left it to medical science. Resulting in their deaths.”

He implies a 99% success rate “even if they haven't reversed their problem, which is rare, 99% stop it from killing them.” Tell that to someone with Mesothelioma, Inoperable Small Cell Lung Cancer or Acute Myeloid Leukaemia in blast crisis.

I too am in a support network for my incurable leukaemia, a group of 2,500 people worldwide. 2-3 of these friends die each month. Not because they didn’t have the guts or strength but because they had an incurable illness to which they succumbed. When your bone marrow fails it fails and no amount of positive thinking, controlling metabolic rates, or strengthening of a non existent immune system can help.

My anger comes from a dangerous man calling my dead friends gutless; I wish that when my time comes I have the guts and strength they showed.

An email from a dead friend “I have talked before about my concept of hope being a verb rather than a noun: something we can choose to do rather than something we can gain or lose. I can now focus 100% on hoping for a "good death", which to me goes far beyond freedom from pain and involves getting closure to my life, making the process easier for my family, and documenting whatever aspects of my life I feel are worth passing along.”

Maybe you can now understand my anger.

Steve, Your claims about me, may show why you have chosen palliative. I'm around palliative wards a lot and understand.

I doubt you'd have a clue what it was like 33 years ago, nor what P Mc's procedures and techniques were then. My left side was inoperable, the main reason for the chemo/rad. I didn't give you a time line nor information regarding my condition or treatment. Look what Ian Gawler achieved.

Yell, scream and abuse all you like, it won't help your condition. Someone that just denies anything but medical science, I have no pity nor sympathy for. From your attitude, it appears you just gave yourself to the system and said, kill me peacefully.

Conditions that rear their heads later in life and not at birth or in the first few years, can have environmental and dietary factors that trigger these conditions.

If you find those triggers and stop them, then you can stop the reaction. Cities with high pollution, huge EM Fields, toxins and low nutritional foods as well as psychological stress, contribute to those triggers.

Many have reversed MS without drugs, no drug is 100% safe. True if you had large doses of carrot juice, it would kill you, all things have toxic levels, synthetic drugs are just that synthetic. Not natural and in all the years of research, no cold cure, just mask the symptoms.

I haven't had a cold for more than 30 years, because of my lifestyle. My health is great for someone like me, but compared to the norm for my age, no comparison.

Maybe you resent those that take control of themselves, so continue to grovel in your own self pity, if thats what you are doing. I'm in control of my life, not some drug treatment that kills you (palliative).

Hi Steve,
I certainly do understand what you are saying but I'm not exactly sure of the intent that was expressed. Of course we will have to let Alchemist explain what he was trying to say. I just know that this is not what I got out of his postings. If he says that he was given a death sentence, I'm sure that is what was perceived at the time cuz truthfully, that is what comes out of traditional medicine. I think that one tends to feel there is one right and one wrong when there is clearly a lot more to any of the issues then just what is apparent on the surface. I personally think there is room for both traditional and alternative medicine in this world. The trouble is that the traditional medicine route is just too darned lucritive these days. Can you imagine just what would happen if one day there was no disease. There'd be no need for doctors, less need for hospitals and insurance agents. Oh and what about all those professional fund raising organizations. That's a lot of people out of work. I'm starting to think that disease and misery is making the world go round...con't...
