The Topic of Cancer
When actress Farrah Fawcett recently sought out “alternative” cancer treatment, she was greeted with predictable media scorn. For example, ABCNews.com (October 3) characterized such a choice as a “last-ditch attempt to find a cure, one that brings the patient into a murky world of offshore clinics and unproven courses of treatment that are scorned by the medical establishment.”
Almost 600,000 Americans die of cancer each year—roughly 1500 per day—and a new case is diagnosed every seven seconds. Yet, the Western medical priesthood stigmatizes alternatives and aggressively defends its Holy Trinity of cancer treatment: surgery, radiation, and of course, chemotherapy.
