No, I'm not falling for Big Pharma conspiracies. It's not not education.
Thats why i mentioned i have family members who have/had it.I've been through this, they just want you to take more and more medicines and treatments until such time your body cant handle it.I have an issue with the entire medical system as a whole not just cancer.This culture of taking a pill to fix a problem is a very good system for them and they want all of us to buy their miracle bull**** pills.
We have deviated from trying to treat the cause to trying to treat the disease.
Lets examine the hippocratic oath (modernised):
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:...
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures which are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humility and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
Have a look at that bold line and tell me when a doctor has told a patient to examine his/her lifestyle and diet or do they just prefer to hand out pills?
Here are some more of his quotes, amazing that most doctors dont follow this hey? Medicine is a business first!Cures cuts profits.
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.
Make a habit of two things: to help; or at least to do no harm.
Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.
Walking is man's best medicine.
Life is short, the art long.
A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings, and learn how by his own thought to derive benefit from his illnesses.
Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.
If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.
Everything in excess is opposed to nature.

I brought this up in that other thread where guys take brainboosters, was ignored by all.Seems its the norm to just pop a pill.I dont even take panado's and i refuse going to a doctor but work requires doctors notes.
