  • Cancer treatment..alternative method..

    What do you think about this medical advice regarding cancer?

    "One of the leading authorities of self-help education for cancer patients and considered by many authorities to be the world's leading expert on cancer, Dr. Leonard Coldwell, discussed the nature of the disease and why he believes chemotherapy, radiation, and mammograms cause cancer. In looking at the primary driver behind the illness, Coldwell contended that 90% of all cancers, as well as other sicknesses, are caused by stress. He pointed to "constant worries, doubts, and fears" as well as lack of self love and hope for the future as key factors in reducing energy levels, weakening the immune system, and leading to diseases like cancer.

    He warned that patients who undergo traditional cancer treatments, like chemotherapy, are "as good as dead." As such, Coldwell shared some natural methods for fighting the disease. One tactic, he said, involves ingesting the combination of a spoonful of pharmaceutical baking soda and five spoonfuls of organic maple syrup, heated up to form a solid mass. This concoction, he said, acts as a "Trojan horse," since cancer cells will flock to the syrup's high sugar content and then be killed by the baking soda. Coldwell also advised drinking a gallon of water which contains a teaspoon of sea salt every day and avoiding the use of plastic containers for food and water. "You can always do the medical treatment," he said to those who may be skeptics, asking rhetorically "so why don't you try the natural first?"

    Coldwell was highly critical of the mainstream medical industry which, he noted, nets billions of dollars from cancer detection and treatment. He asserted that the pharmaceutical industry has no interest in curing cancer and ultimately wants to turn it into a "manageable disease like diabetes." He claimed that his work towards eradicating cancer is so dangerous to the pharmaceutical industry that, when his first book was about to be published, he was offered a quarter of a million dollars to suppress it. After rebuffing the offer, Coldwell said, he was shot at two days later and had his car bombed two weeks after that. Citing similar treatment for other alternative treatment advocates, he lamented that "we live with daily death threats."
    "I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

    I think I just about choked on "considered by many authorities to be the world's leading expert on cancer". While I believe our society and the medical establishment could seriously benefit by much more focus on preventive health advice and care, and I do think we may be over-screening patients who have few if any risk factors besides age, I am terribly skeptical about his suggestions with respect to treatment of patients who have been diagnosed with malignant tumors. I would never want a loved one of mine to forego chemo in favor of baking soda and maple syrup where there are no clinical studies to remotely support it. "You can always do the medical treatment so why don't you try the natural first" is a pretty irresponsible thing to say in cases where the success rate of traditional medical treatment is so clearly tied to getting at the tumor before it grows/spreads.

      The depth of stupidity and quackery of this clown staggers the imagination, Mith. Basic chemistry will tell you that by the time maple syrup is broken down to the glucose components that baking soda will have long past reacted in the gut. His other Jenny McCarthy-like wholly unsupported assertations are ludicrous.

      The only worthwhile point he makes is concerning living a healthy lifestyle and minimizing stress.

        Hard to argue with results.

        16 years cancer-free here. I'll stick with the chemo, surgery, and radiation I had over baking soda and organic maple syrup. Agree with B-Fly that "try the natural first" is insanity, considering my tumor grew to be about the size of a softball in approximately three weeks before I started chemo.

        And for the record, since I was 14-15 at the time I was sick, I don't think a "lack of self love" was a cause of my cancer

          I wasn't agreeing with him, i just thought it was an "interesting" take on the subject and might provide a good discussion.

              True, but the Prednisone wasn't the cause of his hairy palms, either.

                Sadly, quacks abound where hope tends to end, such as late stage cancers. Right now, most of the quackery is focused on "homeopathic" or similar treatments.

                The dark side of me hopes there's a level 9B Dante failed to mention in "The Inferno" for individuals like this.
