     All you have to do is eat the right things and the cancer disappears.

     Far better than modern medicine.

     Modern medicine in based on evolution.

     Nutritional medicine is based on creation.

     I just described his arguments.

     I wonder if he’s eating the seeds of peaches while in prison…

   I’ve heard the claim that ‘sugar feeds cancer’ but I don’t think this was what they were talking about…

   *cough* the quotes he gives don’t even seem to match with what he’s saying.

   ‘Sides, what does he think vitamins, minerals, and oils are? They all organic chemicles.

   Evolution Update:

   http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/23/science/23ancestor.html?_r=2&hp

   An international team of scientists has identified a previously shadowy human group known as the Denisovans as cousins to Neanderthals who lived in Asia from roughly 400,000 to 50,000 years ago and interbred with the ancestors of today’s inhabitants of New Guinea.

     Multiregional hypothesis, anyone?

     That is truly a remarkable find.

   There will always be people who scoff at natural remedies because they are so indoctrinated by doctors and pharmaceutical companies.

   I know a lady who cured breast cancer by a raw food diet. A sister of mine knows a lady who did the same. I’m sure the scoffers could find some sort of “reason” for that like genetics or something similar.

   To me, those scoffers are people who don’t want to change anything about what they believe because they think they are the only ones with the “knowledge”.

     With all due respect, you are full of crap.

     I doubt a raw food diet cured cancer. It may had boosted her immune system, but she must be on a pretty crappy diet before switching to raw.

     And before play the pharma schill card, let me tell you that I’ve been using ‘natural remedies’ and diet to treat problems with my dogs and my own health for more than a decade. A diet that the dog can tolerate will do wonders for an allergic dog or one with digestive issues. I’ve been treating and (mostly) controlling my own severe and evolving IBS-D with diet alone for a number of years. So I know what food and ‘natural’ remedies can, and cannot do.

     And if you think ‘genetics’ has nothing to do with disease processes and individual response to both disease and treatment, you are fooling yourself.

   I think this article is relevant:

   http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2010/11/holiday_weekend_reader_mailbag_in_which.php

   It explains some of the problems when you’re faced with people who have “cures” from unbiopsied tumors.
